After hearing Wu Xia's words, Zhou Sheng's eyes were full of exclamations. How could his sister-in-law be like a divine fortune teller, knowing nothing, yet how could she guess so accurately?
Today he heard Captain Xu answer the phone. He didn't know what was mentioned on the phone. He only knew that the woman seemed to be Captain Xu's classmate. Then Xu Guoping put down the phone and left.
Before leaving, he asked Zhou Sheng to take the children there first, saying that he would come later.
He asked Xu Guoping how he wanted to tell his sister-in-law, but Xu Guoping looked hurriedly and didn't give him an answer at all.
With Wu Xia staring at him like this, Zhou Sheng didn't know what to say. He was afraid that what he said would affect the relationship between Captain Xu and his sister-in-law.
Just when he was struggling with how to answer, Huang Yan pinched his arm.
"What's going on? There are no outsiders here, so just tell me. I tell you, we women hate men who lie and deceive the most."
When Huang Yan said this, Zhou Sheng became even more anxious: "I really don't know, he just answered the phone and left. By the way, I heard him say something. That person seems to have the same surname as you."
Your surname is Huang?
After hearing these words, Wu Xia suddenly thought of a name.
Huang Shujuan.
His white moonlight!
Apart from this person, she couldn't think of anyone else who could make him leave in a hurry after receiving the call.
She had obviously made an agreement with him to come to her hotpot banquet on time, but she didn't expect that he would leave her aside for an outsider.
She had heard Squad Leader Liu talk about this person before when she was at the daily chemical factory, but she didn't take it to heart at the time, thinking that it was all in the past tense.
Moreover, that person went to the south and would no longer intersect with her life. Who knew that the two of them were still in contact!
When she thought about Xu Guoping being in love with her on the one hand, and disconnected from Huang Shujuan on the other, she felt that she deserved it badly just thinking about it.
During this relationship, she and Xu Guoping had gone through so many separations and reunions. She thought the relationship between the two was indestructible, but who knew there was another person between them.
She felt that her heart was colder than the cold wind outside.
"I know." Wu Xia pursed her lips. Today was a good day for her, and there were friends here to celebrate her. She didn't want irrelevant people to ruin her mood.
And the matter was not that serious. She had promised to believe him, so Wu Xia was ready to give him a chance and wait for him to come back and explain everything clearly to him.
"Then let's not wait for him and eat first!"
Only Mengmeng and Xu Bing did not notice that Wu Xia was in a bad mood at this time. After hearing her say that dinner was ready, Mengmeng took Wu Xia's hand and asked her to carry her to the table.
Huang Yan saw that the smile on Wu Xia's face didn't reach her eyes at all, and patted her back with her hand: "Xia Xia, you have to believe in Captain Xu and yourself. If that classmate really dares to bully you, I won't Tear her apart.”
Wu Xia laughed after hearing her words. Huang Yan was right, she had to believe in the relationship between two people.
Thinking of this, Wu Xia cheered up and sat down with everyone.
With Mengmeng, a smart little girl, at the dinner table, and Zhou Sheng and Huang Yan, a talkative pair, the whole atmosphere was very lively. Zhou Sheng looked at Huang Yan with a fiery look. It was rare to meet someone who didn't feel like he talked too much. As a girl, he felt that he would come out and have a good chat with Huang Yan during the break. The time for lunch would not be enough at all.
When the excitement subsided, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Zhou Zheng sent the children back to the compound, and Wu Xia sent them out.
Mengmeng pouted and said, "I don't know where dad went, and he hasn't come back yet."
Zhou Zheng glanced at Wu Xia's face and saw that she was still smiling lightly, as if she was not affected, so he took the two little guys home with confidence.
After seeing them off, Wu Xia said to Huang Yan: "You can go home as well. There is no need to stay here with me."
"Can you do it yourself?"
Although Wu Xia looked no different from usual, Huang Yan always felt that she was not in a good mood.
"What questions can I have? It's time. I have to go to work tomorrow to clean up. You should go back quickly." Wu Xia said and pushed Huang Yan out of the door.
This was bad in the 1990s. There was no weekend work at all. Everyone only had one day off, and the weekend was over without waiting for a break.
Huang Yan thought about it. She hadn't finished washing her clothes today.
She said to Wu Xia: "How about you come to my house with me, and you won't have to cook at night."
Wu Xia shook his head: "He said he would come over today. I'll wait for him here."
"Okay, I'll go back then. If you need anything, call me anytime." Huang Yan gave another instruction before leaving.
After everyone left, Wu Xia was the only one left in the room, which suddenly seemed a little deserted.
She sat on a chair and slowly waited for Xu Guoping. At 8 o'clock in the evening, he had not appeared. Wu Xia slowly stood up and put the dumplings specially left for him in the cupboard.
He shouldn't be coming today, right?
An hour later, Wu Xia went to the bathroom to wash up. When she came out, she felt a little cold in the room, so she took a quilt and put it on herself.
Wu Xia wanted to wait until 10 o'clock. If he didn't come by 10 o'clock, he would go to bed.
Normally she would have written a novel at this time, but today she felt like she was in a mess and couldn't write a word. As soon as she picked up the pen, she would think of the vixen female partner who often appeared in novels.
Wu Xia quickly shook her head to get rid of this thought. She would never encounter such a bloody thing.
At 10:30, there was still no sound outside.
Wu Xia sighed, stood up and turned off the light.
Downstairs, Xu Guoping looked up and saw that Wu Xia's house had turned off the lights. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a lighter, took a deep breath and spit it out. The white smoke blurred him. After a while, the smoke gradually dissipated from the sharp-edged face.
After thinking for a long time, he decided to go upstairs.
Today he promised her to attend the hot pot banquet, but unfortunately he missed the appointment. He never expected that Huang Shujuan would come back.
Taking out the key and opening the door, Xu Guoping saw that Wu Xia was already lying on the bed. Although the light was not turned on, he could see Wu Xia's eyelashes trembling.
He was angry and didn't want to pay attention to him.
He walked to the bed and reached out to gently stroke her long hair: "I'm sorry, I was delayed by something today."
Wu Xia turned around and faced the wall and ignored him.
"Angry?"
Xu Guoping lifted her long hair and wiped her earlobe with his fingers. Wu Xia smelled the smell of cigarette smoke.
"You smoke?"
She turned around, leaned on her arms and looked at Xu Guoping.
After the two of them got together, it seemed that he had never smoked before. Today, Huang Shujuan allowed him to smoke. How could this unseen woman be so lethal to him?
