Xu Wantang's movements of brushing her teeth paused for a moment. Her thick and long eyelashes drooped and trembled for a moment, then returned to her invulnerable appearance.
She did not go out in a hurry, but packed up in an orderly manner. Zhao Youyou's cry outside and Lu Yunzheng's questioning just now did not disrupt her rhythm.
After wiping her face and cleaning up, she walked out of the bathroom.
As soon as he came out of the bathroom, he saw Lu Yunzheng carefully holding Zhao Youyou in his arms.
He must have just returned from a morning run. There was still a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. His shirt sleeves were pulled up to his shoulders, revealing his strong arms.
Xu Wantang had no idea of appreciating it at all. His eyes passed over Lu Yunzheng as if he were passing over pork, and landed on Zhao Youyou's face. Zhao Youyou hiccupped and accused her of her guilt intermittently, "Mom scolded me and... hit me. Me, you haven’t given me anything to eat... Wuwuwuwu, Father Lu, Wuwuwuwu.”
Lu Yunzheng's face grew darker and darker as he heard this. He raised his eyes to look at Xu Wantang. Her temples were wet with water and her whole body looked elegant and refined. However, such a beautiful woman could do these things one after another.
First, they drugged him so that he and she could become husband and wife, and he was forced to marry her. Now he abused the child. Not only did he not feed the child, he even beat and scolded the child!
Lu Yunzheng was extremely disappointed, with coldness seeping out of his eyes, and his eyes fell directly on Xu Wantang.
For a while, the only sound in the room was Zhao Youyou's sobbing, and the atmosphere condensed.
Xu Wantang stared at the man's cold eyes and straight mouth without fear, clearly reading the dissatisfaction on his face.
Xu Wantang sneered, how could she not be disappointed?
Her new husband always made indiscriminate accusations against her and refused to even ask her a question.
But now that I have accumulated too much disappointment, I don’t care anymore.
But she doesn't care, but it doesn't mean that she will let Zhao Youyou frame her up, and she won't admit anything she didn't do.
She raised the corners of her mouth, showing a self-deprecating and innocent smile, and said to Lu Yunzheng, "I did not cook breakfast today, but your mother is at home and you have gone home. I am not the only one who can do the cooking. The child is not mine alone, and her failure to eat is not my sole responsibility."
She paused and continued, "During the time when I was Zhao Youyou's stepmother, I can say that I was more attentive than her biological mother. Not to mention beating her, I didn't even say a harsh word to her. She can't believe it or not. You, we’re going to get divorced anyway.”
Zhao Youyou's eyes averted and she huddled in Lu Yunzheng's arms, not looking at Xu Wantang.
She didn't want to frame the bad woman, but the bad woman did that to her! That's why she wanted to teach the bad woman a lesson!
But after she heard the bad woman say, "We're going to get divorced anyway," she felt a little regretful. Then, wouldn't she really have to leave this big house...
Thinking of this, Zhao Youyou shrank into Lu Yunzheng's arms again.
Lu Yunzheng thought that Zhao Youyou was frightened by Xu Wantang, so he hugged Zhao Youyou tightly with his arms. His eyes stared at Xu Wantang's face defensively, as if he was warning, and he seemed to want to find her from her micro-expression. Evidence of a lie or the truth.
He admitted that his heart was indeed biased towards Zhao Youyou unconsciously.
Zhao Youyou is young, only 6 years old. Compared to the unscrupulous Xu Wantang, he naturally prefers a simple and pitiful child, but when he looked at Xu Wantang's disappointed almond eyes, his heart trembled involuntarily.
Before he could speak again, Xu Wantang turned around neatly and returned to the room.
In just ten seconds, she walked out of the room again, but this time she had the bag she took yesterday in her hand.
That bag is neither big nor small, but it definitely can't fit one person's luggage.
The way Xu Wantang looked at him was no different from looking at a stranger, which made Lu Yunzheng's heart beat uncontrollably.
Xu Wantang's lips were slightly parted, and her voice was emotionless as she said, "Before I left for the island, I stopped living at the Lu family. I stayed at the guest house near my home. If the departure time is fixed, please give the guest house a call. Say it to me."
After saying that, she picked up the bag in her hand and walked out of the door quickly without looking back, leaving only Lu Yunzheng's beautiful back. As she closed the door with a "bang" sound, that figure disappeared. .
Lu Yunzheng's brows were furrowed tightly. Before he could retract his surprised gaze, he stared fixedly at the direction Xu Wantang left. His face became darker and darker. Even Zhao Youyou, who had always been attached to Lu Yunzheng, shrank his neck in fear.
Lu Yunzheng didn't expect that Xu Wantang would do such a good job. He had clearly given her the opportunity to stay in the Lu family yesterday, but she still insisted on living outside.
But this is good, lest the child break down and cry because of her again.
Moreover, in his opinion, Xu Wantang may not leave completely.
He stayed up all night for the first time yesterday, thought about it all night, and came to this conclusion.
When Xu Wantang called him a few days ago, his attitude was not as cold as it is now. It is impossible for a person to undergo such a big change in such a short period of time, so there is a high possibility that Xu Wantang was playing hard to get. What she did was just It was just a way to follow him and join the army.
Moreover, the bag Xu Wantang was carrying today was not big. I heard from married comrades that under normal circumstances, women have a lot more things than men. That bag could not even hold all his luggage, let alone a young woman like Xu Wantang. stuff, so Lu Yunzheng concluded that she would find another excuse to come home.
As long as Xu Wantang realizes her mistake and can correct it, apologizes to her child, and promises not to beat or scold her again in the future, it might not be a bad idea to accept her again.
Thinking of this, the chill on Lu Yunzheng's face gradually dissipated, and the tense corners of his mouth softened a little. He glanced at Zhao Youyou, who was chilling, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, we won't get divorced."
He picked up Zhao Youyou from the ground and placed her on the sofa, and asked softly, "What do you want to eat?"
Zhao Youyou's swollen eyes were wide open and she looked very surprised. Since Dad Lu said that he and the bad woman would not divorce, it meant that she would continue to live in the Lu family and enjoy happiness in the future! If she had known this, she would not have warned the bad woman, it would have been a waste of her efforts!
Her stomach growled twice, and then she raised her head and told Lu Yunzheng what she wanted to eat, "I want to eat tomato and egg noodles!"
When Zhao Youyou said these words, she was already imagining the taste of tomato and egg noodles in her mind. To be more precise, she was imagining the taste of tomato and egg noodles made by a bad woman.
The bad woman cooks so deliciously that she can eat two bowls at a time!
Thinking of this, Zhao Youyou's mouth secreted a lot of saliva, and she swallowed it several times before swallowing it all.
She saw Dad Lu turning around and entering the kitchen, waiting expectantly.
But a few minutes later, bursts of acrid smoke emitted from the kitchen. Dad Lu walked out of the smelly smoke and said, "Get dressed and go out to eat."
Zhao Youyou was a little disappointed not to eat the noodles she had longed for. It turned out that her father Lu, whom she had always admired, was so useless. She was about to starve to death...
She curled her lips in disdain, glanced at Lu Yunzheng with a mocking look in her eyes, and jumped off the sofa to get dressed.
Lu Yunzheng blinked, thinking he was dazzled.
Otherwise, how could he see such a mean look on Zhao Youyou's lovely face?
