"What is this! Is this the only perseverance that young people have nowadays?" Zhao Hen looked at the back and frowned. He was obviously very dissatisfied with the current result.
Isn't this too tempting
Zhang Rong looked at her daughter worriedly, "We asked him to leave and he really left. Does he really have feelings for you? Chuchu, he wouldn't deceive you for the sake of the child, would he?"
Zhao Chuning actually didn't expect Tang Yi to actually leave like this. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't disappointed. She always hoped that he could fight for her again.
"Didn't you two tell him to leave?" Zhao Chuning said, preparing to follow him out. Zhang Rong pulled her back, "Wait a minute, why are you in such a hurry? What if he comes back again?"
"Mom, what on earth do you want to do?" Zhao Chuning found that she really couldn't understand them.
Zhang Rong lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out.
"Old Zhao, where's the door key?"
"Here." Zhao Hen handed the key over. Before Zhao Chuning could figure out what was going on, Zhang Rong locked the door neatly and put the key directly into the safe.
"Mom, what are you doing?" She tried to open the door several times, but without the key, she couldn't get out.
Zhang Rong lifted the curtain and pointed outside, "He hasn't left yet. Look, he's standing there!"
"Really?" Zhao Hen stood up and took a look. His expression looked much better than before.
Through the narrow gap, Zhao Chuning saw Tang Yi's straight body at a glance. He was standing outside with his back to them, motionless. The weather was not warm yet, and the temperature here was much lower than that in big cities. Tang Yi was only wearing a shirt and a coat today, so he was naturally very cold.
"Mom, he came all the way here to bring us here, and you just let him stand outside like this, letting the neighbors laugh at him."
"Look at you, your heart is flying out." Zhang Rong poked her forehead, "He is the only one who can bully you. Can't we teach him a lesson?"
"..." Zhao Chuning looked outside worriedly, "It's freezing cold now. I'm sure I'll catch a cold if I stand like this."
"He's not stupid. The car is parked outside. If he really feels cold, can't he go to the car and turn on the heater? You're worrying for nothing." Zhang Rong packed the things in the suitcase one by one, "Don't look at it, come and help me."
"Okay, go help your mother." Zhao Hen also urged her.
"Dad, you weren't such unreasonable people before."
"That's just to make you anxious." Zhang Rong gave her a scolding look, and her eyes fell on her finger. On it was the diamond ring that Tang Yi gave her last night. Zhao Chuning had forgotten about it, and when her mother looked at her, she was embarrassed and reflexively put her hands behind her back.
Zhang Rong said, "Alright, alright, stop hiding. I'm not blind, I saw it a long time ago."
“…” Zhao Chuning lowered his eyes and slowly took his hand back.
Zhang Rong glanced at her and said, "If you hadn't run off and married him without even telling us, why would your father and I have to make things so difficult for him?"
Zhao Chuning was stunned and looked at them in astonishment, "You... all know?"
"Xiaomi Mi sold you out last night. I raised her to this age, how could I not see that she was lying? You even dared to let the child hide it from us, you simply don't take us seriously. He is the same!" Zhang Rong became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and her nose felt a little sour. "I raised you for nothing, and you ran away without even discussing such a big thing as marriage with us."
Zhao Chuning was already worried about this matter, and now her mother's sad look made her feel even more ashamed.
"Mom, that day was really unexpected. I didn't expect to marry him. I have been thinking about how to tell you two about this, but I knew you would be sad, so I hesitated and didn't dare to tell you."
"You treated such a big thing as a joke and married him on impulse. Have you seen clearly what kind of person he is and how he feels about you?"
Zhao Chuning really couldn't answer her mother's question directly. She just said, "Mom, although Tang Yi is proud and has a bad temper, he has changed. I can feel that he is a good father."
"A good father? If you marry him, he must be a good husband!"
She hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I will."
Zhang Rong was still skeptical despite her confidence. But what could she do if she doubted? They were already married. Could she force them to divorce? Not to mention how Chuchu would be mad at them, Xiao Yimi would never talk to them again.
Thinking of this, she didn't dwell on the topic any more and just said, "Let him stand outside for a while. He has been bullying you for so long, so it's not unfair to him to just stand outside as a punishment."
Zhao Chuning: “…”
She glanced outside and saw that the weather was getting increasingly gloomy and cold. The neighbors who had been watching the fun gradually dispersed and returned to their rooms.
Tang Yi was still standing there, like a statue, not moving. From where she was looking, she could see that his ears were red from the cold.
Zhao Chuning was worried.
He wouldn't be so stupid as to just stand there and not go to the car, right
"Stop looking and bring everything into the house." Zhang Rong instructed her daughter.
Zhao Chuning came back to his senses, and took the folded clothes one by one and put them into the cupboard. Zhang Rong took off the sheets again, and she helped to put the quilt back on.
The mother and daughter cleaned the whole house again.
By the time I finished, it was two hours later.
Zhao Chuning felt that Tang Yi must have either left or gotten into the car. When she came out of the suite with a mop, she saw her father sipping tea in the room, glancing out the window from time to time, looking much better than before.
Seeing this, she suddenly realized something and put down the mop, "Dad, he's not still standing outside, is he?"
"You're still standing. Look." Zhao Hen pointed his chin outward, obviously very satisfied with his behavior.
Zhao Chuning opened the window and looked out. Although it was only afternoon, it was already dark outside. It was definitely going to rain soon. The strong wind blew up his windbreaker and hit the window heavily, like the roar of a beast. Zhao Chuning felt cold just by listening to the sound of the wind. What's more, he had been standing outside for two hours.
She ran to the door to open it, but it was locked tightly.
"Mom, give me the keys!"
Zhang Rong didn't respond to her words, she just said: "How long has it been?"
"It's been more than two hours. Even the best of health will catch a cold."
Zhang Rong continued to work in the bathroom with a rag, pretending not to hear what her daughter said.
