The depression in Lu Yunzheng's heart did not dissipate with those slightly malicious words, but instead became more and more irritable.
He stared closely at Xu Wantang's almond-shaped eyes, and his mind was filled with the way Xu Wantang smiled at the man just now.
It was getting dark now, and she was wandering around outside alone as a woman and a man, and she was smiling so brightly with others. Did she think about the consequences? Have you ever thought about her being a family person?
An emotion that seemed unfamiliar to him filled his brain, and malice came out of his mouth without thinking, "We are not divorced yet."
His mind seemed to be unable to control his mouth. The moment he said it, he regretted it. His brows were furrowed tightly and his eyes were filled with astonishment, as if he was annoyed that what he just said was too straightforward.
But it was too late.
Xu Wantang was not deaf, and Lu Yunzheng's words came to her ears word for word.
Lu Yunzheng's tone was not a simple inquiry, but a cold question, which made Xu Wantang freeze on the spot.
She and Huang Ruicheng were almost two arm's length apart, and they seemed innocent at first glance. As ordinary friends, he politely sent her to a place where there was nothing to criticize. How could she become so nasty when she arrived at Lu Yunzheng's place?
It would be uncomfortable for anyone to be questioned coldly for no reason, not to mention Lu Yunzheng's tone of voice, which was clearly accusing Xu Wantang of misconduct.
It was like that last night, and it's like that tonight.
Xu Wantang wanted to laugh a little. Her dedication and perseverance in her previous life seemed to have become a long and ridiculous joke.
It felt like a bucket of dog shit had been smashed over my head. It was disgusting.
"Lu Yunzheng, what do you mean?" Xu Wantang's heart froze. Her eyelashes trembled slightly and the ends of her eyes looked a little red. She raised her head and asked Lu Yunzheng stubbornly.
Lu Yunzheng stared at her eyes that seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and his heart seemed to be violently tugged by a big hand. He wanted to say something to explain, but Xu Wantang did not give him this chance.
Xu Wantang didn't expect to get the answer from Lu Yunzheng. She only knew——
Divorcing Lu Yunzheng as soon as possible is the best choice.
She lowered her head, and the dim light shone on her face. Her thick eyelashes were like small brushes, leaving two shadows on her face, making it difficult for Lu Yunzheng to see her expression clearly.
The next second, Xu Wantang took long strides and walked towards the guest house without looking at Lu Yunzheng again.
Lu Yunzheng chased after her like a machine. He instinctively felt that he could not let Xu Wantang walk away like this. He matched Xu Wantang's speed with his steps, trying to take her arm and make her stop, but was ruthlessly thrown away by the other party.
Xu Wantang's wrist was very thin, and Lu Yunzheng didn't dare to grab it hard, for fear of leaving red marks on her white and fragile wrist like before.
The result of being tied up was that he couldn't stop Xu Wantang at all and watched her enter the guest house.
Lu Yunzheng stood there, touching the thick wad of money in his side pocket, and suddenly recalled the purpose of his coming here to wait for Xu Wantang.
He originally wanted to give her the money, have a good talk with her, and tell her that he didn't know about his mother's little actions and that she had such a hard life. He could promise her that nothing like this would ever happen in the future, even though he He has no feelings for her, but at least materially, he won't treat her badly.
But before I had time to say any of this, things turned into what they are now.
He thought about what had just happened and didn't quite understand where his mood tonight came from. The comrades around him said that his mood was as stable as if there were no waves, but why was he so out of control today?
Finally, he gave himself a reasonable explanation: he is a normal man and naturally does not allow his legal wife to cuckold him.
Xu Wantang had tried so hard to marry him, but now she was wandering the streets late at night with a strange man. They hadn't divorced yet, so she couldn't wait to find the next one?
Thinking of this, he clenched his hands into fists and made a crunching sound.
*
Xu Wantang returned to the guest house and washed up as usual.
She is no longer angry. It is not worth punishing herself because of other people's behavior.
If it were Xu Wantang in the previous life, he would have cried a lot and been depressed for a long time.
But now she understands that feelings are the most illusory things in the world. People can have feelings in this life, but they cannot regard feelings as the only spiritual support. The most important thing is to be worthy of yourself.
Putting aside the unpleasantness just now, Xu Wantang began to think about ways to make money.
In her last life, she opened a small restaurant in City B. The business was pretty good. She still has the skills and relevant experience. However, in order to divorce as soon as possible, she will leave City B and go to the island to join the army. The speed of making money in business is too slow. It was impossible to save enough money to buy a courtyard house before joining the army.
I'm afraid borrowing money won't work. It's the early 1980s, and there are only a handful of households with ten thousand yuan. The amount Xu Wantang wants to borrow is not small, and almost no one will lend her such a large amount of money.
She originally thought about starting a small business on the island, saving money first, and then buying a house after getting divorced and returning to city B. But today she accidentally met Wang Tong, and Xu Wantang felt a pity. If she could both It would be nice to solve the other party's urgent need, give her more chances of survival, and get a courtyard house at a very reasonable price...
Xu Wantang was lost in thought when a sudden "dong-dong" knock on the door startled her and brought her back to reality.
Xu Wantang immediately stood up vigilantly, picked up the porcelain on the table, stood at the door, calmly checked the tightly locked door again, and then asked, "Who?"
In Xu Wantang's previous life, she had lived as a woman with her children for most of her life. It was not that she had never encountered people who maliciously harassed her. Now she could handle such matters with ease.
"Hello, a very tall gay man just brought you something. He said his surname is Lu."
The familiar staff's voice came from outside the door, and Xu Wantang put down his guard and returned the porcelain bottle to its place.
The gay man named Lu must be Lu Yunzheng, but Xu Wantang couldn't figure out what Lu Yunzheng wanted to give her.
She didn't want to open the door, but she couldn't stand the staff and knocked on the door again. Xu Wantang was so annoyed that she opened the door a small crack.
The next second, a thick stack of envelopes was handed in through the crack of the door.
Xu Wantang took it hesitantly, thanked the staff delivering the items outside the door, and then closed the door.
What she didn't notice was that not far outside the door, a tall man was holding a cigarette in an irritable manner and leaning against the wall. She saw with her own eyes a white and tender arm stretched out from the door and took the thick stack of After receiving the cash, his tense expression relaxed a little, and he left after a while.
Before leaving, the man who always kept a clear distinction between public and private affairs and did not engage in small tricks suddenly stopped. Under the puzzled eyes of the staff, he took out a few pieces of cash from his pocket and stuffed them all into the other party.
His expression was a little awkward, but he still warned, "Please try your best to ensure the safety of guests 201. If you have any questions, contact me immediately."
Finally, he hesitated for a moment and added in a low voice with a gloomy face, "If there is a strange man hanging around her door, call me immediately."
After saying that, he took out a small notebook and a pen from his coat pocket, tore off a piece of paper from the small notebook, wrote down his phone number carefully and quickly, handed it to the other person's hand, and then strode out. Go.
The staff watched the man walk away and joked in a low voice, "We are a regular state-owned guest house. Who has the guts to come here and cause trouble?"
Then the staff member remembered the man's last instructions, smiled, and said "tsk tsk" twice, "Aren't you a strange man?"
