Zhong Lingyu sat in the villa all afternoon.
In the evening, Mrs. Fu went upstairs and knocked on the door, asking her what she wanted to eat.
Zhong Lingyu has no appetite.
She thought of the conversation between Mrs. Shen and Shen Huaizhou at noon.
The old lady said that Shen Huaizhou should break up with her as soon as possible.
Shen Huaizhou, on the other hand, did not refute, but said that he would not mention this kind of thing later.
It really... chilled her heart.
Mrs. Fu was still knocking on the door outside, making Zhong Lingyu's thoughts return.
She said calmly: "Sister-in-law Fu, I'm not hungry. There's no need to cook dinner."
"Okay, ma'am."
The footsteps gradually faded away, and Mrs. Fu went downstairs.
Zhong Lingyu had a splitting headache.
He lay on the bed and fell asleep.
All night long, Shen Huaizhou didn't come back or call home.
Zhong Lingyu was very sad.
In the dream, she couldn't stop crying and wet the pillow mat.
When he woke up the next day, Zhong Lingyu was awakened by the sound of the door opening.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she vaguely saw a broad and familiar figure beside the bed.
Supporting his heavy body, Zhong Lingyu leaned against the bed and was stunned for a while before realizing that it was Shen Huaizhou who was back.
When he turned around, she saw the red bloodshot eyes.
I probably spent the whole night serving the old lady in the hospital, so I couldn't sleep at all.
Zhong Lingyu opened her lips and asked softly: "Old lady, how is she...?"
"I have recovered, but the doctor said that I must not be stimulated again in the future." Shen Huaizhou looked at her seriously.
His eyes contained some deep meaning.
It made Zhong Lingyu feel very uncomfortable.
Thinking that Shen Huaizhou was worried about her grandmother and was tired from work, she suppressed her discomfort and said nothing.
For a moment, the two fell into silence.
Shen Huaizhou looked at her.
Zhong Lingyu lowered his head and looked miserable.
In the end, it was Shen Huaizhou who spoke first, "Yesterday, you were indeed a little impulsive. Grandma is weak. Even if you don't agree with what Grandma said, you shouldn't throw her in the face."
Zhong Lingyu raised his head suddenly and stared at him, "So, do you think it's my fault that the old lady fainted and fell ill?"
"That's not what I meant." Shen Huaizhou pinched his eyebrows.
"Then what do you mean?"
"Grandma is old and in poor health. Try not to refute what she says. Whatever grievances you suffer, even if I can't make the decision for you, I will bear it with you. I always think of my grandmother's illness. , please be more patient." Shen Huaizhou suppressed his irritation and said in a hoarse voice.
Zhong Lingyu's grievance was magnified in an instant.
She bit her lip, the tip of her nose was sour, "I just remember that the old lady is an elder and also your grandmother, so no matter how ugly she said to me, I didn't show any dissatisfaction and endured it. After that, the old lady not only forced her to , asked me to resign from my job in the military government, but she actually restricted my personal freedom and even refused to allow me to leave the house. Don’t you think this is going too far?"
"Shut up!" Shen Huaizhou's tone suddenly became sharp.
Even Zhong Lingyu would not allow her to talk about his grandmother like this.
Zhong Lingyu realized that he had spoken too harshly and remained silent.
But in my heart, it was cold.
It was so cold that her body couldn't help but tremble.
Shen Huaizhou didn't look at her, turned his back to her, and said calmly: "Grandma has no intention of targeting you. She takes the Shen family's face very seriously. If something like this happens, she will inevitably be angry with you. Wait for this After a while, when the limelight has passed, I will talk to my grandmother carefully and she will understand. As for the military government, you should not go there in the future."
After a pause, he continued: "You can go out to do business, and I will support you, but this must be done after grandma recovers. During this period, I can only force you to stay at home. If you are bored, let Tinglan accompany you. You can go shopping. Grandma’s place..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhong Lingyu smiled bitterly and said: "How I wish that when the old lady said something bad to me, you could come forward to refute and explain for me, or say a few nice words for me in front of the old lady. Instead of now In front of me, speak good words for the old lady and persuade me to compromise and forgive."
Shen Huaizhou lit a cigarette, lowered his head and said: "Grandma was very angry at that time. She would not listen to anything I said. I also know that what she said was a bit unpleasant. I can't help you if I don't speak for you. But. You have also seen my grandmother’s condition..."
"Well, the old lady can't stand the excitement, so it's best to follow her in everything." Zhong Lingyu took over his words.
Shen Huaizhou blew out a puff of smoke and said, "I've wronged you."
Zhong Lingyu felt cold in her heart, "Since you want to obey the old lady and not make her angry, you should also agree to her request."
"What?" Shen Huaizhou didn't understand what she was talking about.
Zhong Lingyu's breath was hot, but his body was cold.
She endured the discomfort and said feebly: "I heard the conversation between you and the old lady. The old lady doesn't want to see me from the bottom of her heart, and she wants you to break up with me. If you don't want to irritate the old lady, you should agree on the spot. "
Swallowing her dry and hot throat, she hugged the quilt tightly and said, "I agree to the old lady's conditions. I will never appear in front of the old lady again. If the old lady is out of sight and out of mind, her condition will naturally get better. You too You don’t have to be stuck between me and the old lady because of me. When I go to live abroad in the future, it will be..."
"That's enough!" Shen Huaizhou interrupted sharply, staring at her with red eyes, "Zhong Lingyu, we didn't encounter this incident not long after we returned to Yuncheng. Why are you thinking of breaking up so quickly?"
Zhong Lingyu's tears rolled down, "It's not that I said we should separate, but the old lady wants us to separate. You are worried about the old lady's illness. This is the best plan, isn't it?"
"No." Shen Huaizhou blurted out without thinking, "There is a solution."
"What solution?"
"While grandma is recovering from illness, you can stay at home with peace of mind, and we will work hard together to try to give birth to a child. If you are pregnant, grandma will be able to calm down, and she will definitely not make things difficult for you again. After that, if you are willing to go out to do business, I will I fully support it. However, I may have to wrong you for a while.”
Shen Huaizhou looked at her and lowered his voice, "Just think it's for me, huh?"
Zhong Lingyu tilted her head, tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes, "Taking a step back, if I really give birth to your child, can you ensure that the old lady will not restrict my freedom?"
"I will try my best to persuade her." Shen Huaizhou took Zhong Lingyu's hand, "Even if something happens, I will bear it with you."
Zhong Lingyu looked at Shen Huaizhou for a long time.
She felt that Shen Huaizhou's words made her feel very insecure.
However, when it came to this, Zhong Lingyu suddenly wanted to take a gamble.
Shen Huaizhou had sacrificed a lot for her, so she couldn't always think about shrinking back.
But she still needed time to think.
She said: "Shen Huaizhou, I'm very tired. I'll give you an answer tonight."
Shen Huaizhou was a little disappointed, but he didn't force it.
He said: "Then you rest first, I'm going to the hospital."
Zhong Lingyu hummed, silently closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
