Chapter 30 What to do and what not to do
Zhou Chenwang came back with Qiao Shuzhu when Ling Xi was about to go to work.
Ling Xi stood in the porch changing shoes, looked up, the door opened in front of him, Zhou Chenwang and Qiao Shuzhu stood outside, behind them was the rising sun in the early morning, like a pair of jade couples.
The three people looked at each other through a door. Zhou Chenwang's eyes lit up immediately when he saw Ling Xi, and a smile appeared on his expressionless face. He said to Qiao Shuzhu without turning his head: "I'm home, you You can rest assured."
Qiao Shuzhu glanced at Ling Xi with a smile, but didn't bother him much, and politely said to Ling Xi: "Chenwang was drunk last night, and my father told me to send him home. Now that the task is completed, I'm leaving."
After Qiao Shuzhu left, Zhou Chenwang really smiled. He stopped in front of Ling Xi, and smiled at him with eyebrows and eyes crooked, with guilt and guilt in his eyes, "I'm sorry, I drank too much yesterday and fell asleep in their guest room Are you worried all night?"
As she spoke, she was about to come up to hug Ling Xi, but Ling Xi turned her side slightly, quietly avoiding Zhou Chenwang's embrace, and at the same time smelled the smell of wine and sweet perfume that had not dissipated from Zhou Chenwang's body, the two smells mixed together, It made Ling Xi frowned. He didn't want to smell such an unpleasant smell for a second, so he pulled away and prepared to leave.
Zhou Chenwang reacted quickly after running for nothing, grabbed Ling Xi's arm and shook it, "Are you angry?"
"You go back and take a shower, I'm off to work." Ling Xi shook off Zhou Chenwang's hand, wiped him and was about to leave.
Zhou Chenwang was caught off guard by being dumped, and immediately froze there. Facing Qiao's family all night made him very depressed, but he didn't expect to be slapped by his wife when he returned home. Zhou Chenwang held back his inner temper and pulled Ling once again Xi's wrist, trying to explain, "Don't be angry, I apologized, I didn't come back on purpose yesterday, how did I know their alcohol content was so high, I just had a drink..."
"I'm not angry, and I don't care who you drank with or what wine you drank with. I'm going to work now, please relax." Ling Xi said coldly.
Zhou Chenwang looked at him in disbelief. After a while, he raised his voice and asked Ling Xi, "You don't care who I drink with, and you don't care if I don't come back all night. Does it mean that you don't care when I die outside?"
Ling Xi experienced a night of chaotic moods, and he really didn't have the time to appease Zhou Chenwang's unreasonable troubles. He didn't believe that Zhou Chenwang hadn't looked at his phone since he woke up, and it was impossible that he hadn't seen WeChat and call records. But not only did he not reply immediately News, actually started to lose his temper.
Ling Xi couldn't get angry anymore, he just felt powerless, he didn't bother to answer any of Zhou Chenwang's questions, so he just let Zhou Chenwang hold his hand.
The two blocked the doorway, blocking everyone's way. Zhou Chenmu came over and saw this scene, and chuckled after being stunned for two seconds, "It's so early in the morning, the show of affection has reached the door."
Zhou Chen glanced at Zhou Chenmu, then loosened his grip, Ling Xi took advantage of the situation and pulled out his hand, rubbing his wrist and leaving without saying a word.Zhou Chenwang's palms were empty, and the whole person stayed in place without moving. It was only when he saw Ling Xi's figure disappearing around the corner of Zhou's house that he came back to his senses.
He shouldn't lose his temper with Ling Xi, Zhou Chen thought belatedly.
It was because he didn't realize that he was drunk and didn't return all night. Even if Ling Xi was angry, he should bear it.
It's just... Zhou Chenwang recalled Qiao Shuzhu's casual words on the way back, "Ling Xi has such a good personality. Brother Chenwang didn't go back all night, and he didn't call to ask questions. I have a friend who goes out for less than three days. When he was young, his girlfriend would definitely call to check on the post, and my friends were annoyed to death."
Zhou Chenwang had never listened carefully to Qiao Shuzhu's words, but this sentence fell into his heart. Zhou Chenwang looked at the empty mobile phone, which did not contain Ling Xi's WeChat or his phone number. Zhou Chenwang frowned, and said to Qiao Shuzhu: "You What do you know, it’s called trust.”
He said trust, but he didn't feel lost in his heart. How much he wanted to be like his friend Qiao Shuzhu, who could also receive calls from his wife Cha Gang asking questions, even if he scolded him, it would be good.
Returning home with such a complicated mood, and hearing Ling Xi say that he doesn't care, Zhou Chen exploded instantly.
But it’s the fried hair, the daughter-in-law is angry, and she still has to coax her, Zhou Chenwang puffed her cheeks and sent Ling Xi a WeChat message: [My wife, I was wrong, I will come to pick you up for dinner after get off work in the evening, so I will make an apology, okay? ]
Ling Xi didn't reply, Zhou Chenwang took it as his acquiescence, and felt better, shaking his phone and going into the room to take a shower and change clothes.
Ling Xi was unhappy all day long, his face was gloomy like a storm, and the teachers in the office didn't take the initiative to provoke him, but Zhen Hua was very ungrateful, and swayed to Ling Xi's side, and said with a smile: " A few teachers have a gathering tonight, Ling Xi, are you coming?"
Ling Xi flipped through the textbooks in her hand, without raising her head, "I'm not going, you guys go."
"You don't go to the gatherings in Huihui. I know that you have a handsome husband at home, but don't look down on us. I also have good muscles." Zhen Hua shook Ling Xi's arm, With no intentions, he said, "Why don't you just bring your family along with you."
"I really don't want to go, you guys have fun." Ling Xi reluctantly refused.
Zhen Hua pursed his lips, looking bored, muttering "It's so boring" and wandered out of Ling Xi's office.
After Zhen Hua left, Ling Xi let out a long sigh of relief, picked up his phone and clicked on Zhou Chen's WeChat message in the morning. At that time, he glanced at it in anger and put the phone aside. Only then did he realize that he should reply to a message , was hesitating whether to agree to Zhou Chenwang's invitation, when an unfamiliar number popped up on the screen.
Ling Xi thought it was the student's parent, so she picked it up, but she didn't expect that it was a familiar female voice.
Qiao Shuzhu's voice lost its sweetness, with a bit of obvious demonstration, "Ling Xi, are you free now, I want to talk to you."
Ling Xi was stunned for a moment, "I don't think we have anything to talk about."
"Don't be so shameless. If you don't have time, I can come to the school to find you." Qiao Shuzhu acted coquettishly.
Ling Xi's brows, which hadn't been stretched very much, were deeply frowned again. He didn't want to ask Qiao Shuzhu how he knew the school he was in, but he couldn't let Qiao Shuzhu come over, so he had to compromise and said, "I'll have time in half an hour."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the Starbucks on Huaihai Road Pedestrian Street." Qiao Shuzhu said and hung up the phone.
Ling Xi stared blankly at the darkened phone screen, and let out a speechless sigh in her heart. This time, she probably really met a strong enemy. When Lin Yaran pointed at her nose and scolded her at the bar, Ling Xi never experienced such a thing. Feel.
Whether it's Lin Yaran, who used to show his teeth and claws, or Qiao Shuzhu, who hides his sword in his smile now, Ling Xi doesn't want to deal with them, he feels very tired.
Huaihai Road Pedestrian Street is as lively as ever, Ling Xi rarely comes here, he is not a person who likes to be lively, and instead of wandering in such a bustling place, it is more comfortable to go to the library for a day.
Ling Xi got off the subway and walked towards the crowd. After walking two steps, she saw a large Starbucks. The Starbucks in a busy area was overcrowded. Ling Xi opened the door and walked in. There were many people queuing up to order in front of the counter. people.
Fortunately, Qiao Shuzhu arrived first, waving at him from the seat behind a stone pillar, Ling Xi suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and walked over slowly.
"This place is easy to find. I chose a location near the subway entrance. I thought it would be closer for you to come here. Speaking of which, why do you still take the subway to and from work? Even if Brother Chenwang has no time to take you off, there are so many drivers in the Zhou family. , Isn't that enough?" The moment Qiao Shuzhu opened his mouth, Ling Xi felt very uncomfortable.
Ling Xi didn't say a word. After sitting down, Qiao Shuzhu pushed a cup of coffee on the table in front of Ling Xi, and began to talk about homework very familiarly, "Ice American style, I make the decision, I don't know if you are used to it, Chen and I Brother Wang’s school in the UK has a coffee shop that makes iced American dishes that are especially delicious, even better than Starbucks.”
Qiao Shuzhu smiled with crooked eyebrows, and winked mischievously at Ling Xi as he spoke. Ling Xi naturally knew Zhou Chenwang's taste. He really liked iced American style. Before Ling Xi was busy writing lesson plans until midnight, he would occasionally make two cups, one for himself Drink, give Zhou Chenwang a cup.
But now, looking at the dark green paper cup in front of him, Ling Xi has no appetite at all. He interrupted Qiao Shuzhu's self-righteous greetings, and said straight to the point: "I don't know why Miss Qiao asked me out."
Qiao Shuzhu propped his chin, and tapped his finger on the table. Seeing Ling Xi being so straightforward, he stopped beating around the bush, "I called you here, of course I want to talk about Brother Chenwang. I don't know how Uncle Zhou agreed to your marriage at the beginning." , but you have not received the certificate until now, it is obvious that Uncle Zhou still has concerns, Uncle Zhou is more interested in me now, I don't know what Mr Ling thinks about this."
Her voice was naturally delicate and sweet, but it was no less tactful than Zhou Xiong. Ling Xi sneered, "It has nothing to do with me."
"How could it have nothing to do with you? After all, you held a wedding banquet with brother Chenwang and it was on the news. If you don't let go, and I interject in this way, outsiders will think I'm a mistress." Qiao Shuzhu pouted.
Ling Xi was amused, and asked, "Isn't it?"
"I just like Brother Chenwang. Mr. Ling, don't get me wrong. We have nothing to do. If you are willing to give Brother Chenwang to me, of course I am very grateful. If you are not willing, I will not give up."
"What's the difference." Ling Xi couldn't listen to Qiao Shuzhu's nonsense, he never knew that a lady from a family would be so shameless, "You say so much, it has nothing to do with me, I can't be Zhou Chenwang's master, he If you like you, why do you waste all this talk."
The smile on Qiao Shuzhu's face couldn't hold back any longer. She took a sip of coffee and continued: "Mr. Ling, it's a bit hurtful for you to say that. I'm the one who's right with brother Chen Wang. I just hope you can understand current affairs. Take the initiative to leave, so as not to make everyone look bad."
"Dad?" It was the first time Ling Xi called Zhou Xiong that way, and he did it on purpose.
Qiao Shuzhu took a few seconds to understand who Ling Xi was referring to, and his face turned pale, "It's not what Uncle Zhou meant, but myself."
Thinking about it, no matter how much Zhou Xiong doesn't like him, he can't afford to send a little girl to talk to him. Listening to what Qiao Shuzhu said, she didn't know about Ling Xi and Zhou Chenwang's marriage. It turned out that it was really a little girl Unable to hold back his thoughts, he came to demonstrate.
Today's little girl is really bold and self-willed.
Since it was not what the elders meant, Ling Xi felt that there was no need to waste time with Qiao Shuzhu. He stood up and said politely: "Thank you Miss Qiao for the coffee. You can go and talk to Zhou Chenwang about these things today. No matter how much you talk to me, it won't be too late. It's useless, it's because he said he likes me, not because I refuse to leave him."
After Ling Xi finished speaking, he got up and left. The coffee in front of him remained unchanged from beginning to end. For some reason, Ling Xi said such a sentence uncharacteristically. In fact, he was still a little angry in his heart, so he directly angered Qiao Shuzhu.
It seems that what Shen Xiao said is right, Zhou Chenwang can do whatever he wants, No. 1.
Ling Xi avoided the long queue in front of the counter, opened the door and walked out. The last ray of light before sunset shone on him, leaving a slender silhouette on the floor-to-ceiling windows.
After Ling Xi left, Qiao Shuzhu took out his mobile phone and turned off the recording function. With a smile on his lips, he also stood up and left.
