Aunt Zhang saw the man's dejected gaze, restrained pain and embarrassment, obviously he was not indifferent, but she still felt terrified of what she saw when she just rushed there.
She was very disapproving and said: "Sir, you have gone too far this time!"
"It was she who was with Gu Yuanzhou first, so I—" He scratched the messy hair on the top of his head in pain, the ruthlessness disappeared after hurting her, and he just held on, "I..."
"In any case, you can't force your wife to do something she doesn't want to do."
He clenched his fists violently, "I don't want to either! I smell perfume on her body, a man's perfume!" His voice was hoarse, obviously on the verge of collapse, "How do you make me think of her, I don't want to hurt her , I... But my mind buzzed at the time, and I suddenly lost control!"
"Aunt Zhang, you just said that she also said the same thing... What did she say?"
Aunt Zhang paused, and then said: "Sir, the photo of you and another woman showing up in the hotel in the early morning was circulated by the media. The wife saw the news early in the morning, and she seemed to have lost her soul. She was sitting on the sofa, After a while, I went to the room to get the check, and the hand that opened the pen cap was trembling. You came back soon, and when you heard that she was going to send money to the woman, you immediately lost your temper."
He said a little irritablely, "The relationship between Shen Ye and I is really not what you think. I drank too much that day and got rashes on my body. She stayed in the room to take care of me because she was afraid that something would happen to me. Between us Nothing happened in between, it was all the goddamn media—"
"Mr. Yan!" Aunt Zhang couldn't take it anymore, and stopped his explanation, "I'm not going to say something nice, it was you who did the wrong thing that day, no matter how innocent you are, you hurt my wife! At that time I Right next to you, I heard you desperately defending another woman, driving your wife into a hurry. Afterwards, you slammed the door and left, but your wife walked around in the empty room. In the end, no one spoke, so she could only ask me, she said Did she do something wrong, say it yourself, what did she do wrong?!"
Yan Zhengqi thought of Wen Ying who was idling in the room, and thought of her writing with trembling hands, and his heart was picked up unconsciously.
After Aunt Zhang regained her composure, she sighed and said, "Speaking of which, I'm just a servant, and I'm not qualified to meddle in the affairs of my employer. Just think I'm talking too much." She bent down to clean up the mess on the ground .
"It's okay, Aunt Zhang, you're right." He murmured.
This era has long since given up the idea of being inferior. In an affirmative society, even if some people in wealthy families have class concepts, they must maintain a polite appearance on the surface. What's more, he has a casual personality and has never wanted Wen Ying to become like a woman in a wealthy family. Of course, he doesn't have old-fashioned ideas. He really sees Aunt Zhang as a real person.
On the contrary, when they first got married, they put aside the romance in love, and both of them had difficulty adapting to the countless trivial matters in life. Although Wen Ying is a single-parent family, her father doted on her all the way and never made her suffer. Yan Zhengqi's parents were difficult to get close to, and Wen Ying's father was not careful enough and didn't know much about life in a wealthy family, so Aunt Zhang made all the arrangements for them. Aunt Zhang has been immersing herself in the lives of these families, and she knows a lot. They regard Aunt Zhang as half of the elder.
So Yan Zhengqi didn't think there was anything wrong.
Following her words, he vaguely recalled that the check was dated incorrectly, so it was useless at all, but at that time he wholeheartedly thought that she wanted to use the money to humiliate Shen Ye, and felt that she was a different person, just like before. The wealthy daughters around him only knew how to use money to solve problems. Her changes made him mad with anger and full of sadness. He didn't know what to do, so he could only choose to run away.
Seeing him like this, Aunt Zhang couldn't help reminding: "Looking at you like this, I'm afraid I have forgotten what day it was."
He came back to his senses from his own world, and was at a loss for a moment, "What... days?"
"It's your wedding anniversary."
Yan Zhengqi's pupils shrank suddenly.
Aunt Zhang sighed, "My wife always remembers that she originally wanted to cook a meal herself, but she didn't know that there were too many things in the company, her feet were bound, and she came back in a hurry, but you were not here."
Yan Zhengqi still remembers that day, when he was drunk all night and had a splitting headache. Not only was he photographed by the media, he was scolded by his father on the phone, and when he got home, he had to face her sneer and sarcasm, and his emotions burst out uncontrollably . But he didn't expect, or rather, after they entered the cold war period, he never cared about these commemorative dates anymore...
"Wait." Aunt Zhang suddenly remembered something, and hurried upstairs. After a while, she came down with a gift box, "My wife just said to give it to me. I don't need such a male watch. Let it go, now it will be returned to the original owner." Naturally, she had long thought about returning it to the male owner, but considering that his wife would not be happy, she wanted to keep it for herself, and take it out someday when the couple reconcile.
But she didn't expect to wait for his wife's "divorce" before reconciliation.
A small square box was stuffed in his arms, and he was a little afraid to open it. But he opened it anyway.
There is a brand new watch in the flannelette.
He remembered that his watch was out of order during that time, and who did he complain to? He has never had such a good quality as frugality. He has the habit of liking the old and loathing the new. , fell in love with a certain brand's latest limited edition style, probably mentioned it to someone, but she actually paid attention.
He still remembered that when he wanted to buy it, the limited edition had already been sold out, so he was not persistent. About the same time, Shen Ye also gave him a watch as a thank you for his help, which should be a miscellaneous brand. But she has good taste, and the style is quite to his liking. He thought that if he didn't wear it, he would look poor. In addition, she didn't have rich funds, and she had to save money to buy him such a gift as a thank you. Sorry to refuse, just make do with it.
He clutched the gift box and didn't speak.
Aunt Zhang knew the origin of the watch in his hand, but she kept silent because she was afraid that Wen Ying would be sad.
"The one on your hand was given to you by Miss Shen. How can you ask your wife to be considerate of you when you are full of traces of that Miss Shen in your life?" Aunt Zhang paused, "If your wife and other Would you be happy if a man had an intimate relationship?"
He fell silent.
She sighed and said: "It's also my fault. I spend more time with my wife, so I can only persuade her to give in to you. I think it's just because you are not mature enough. Married life is like this, always Someone has to give in a step, and life will get smoother and smoother. But no one can keep giving in, and my wife may have no way out."
"When you were entangled with those little stars at the beginning, your wife waited for you very late every night. Sometimes the food was ready and kept cold until she didn't take a bite, just sat there. , I felt sad when I saw it. Later, she got used to you coming home late or even not, so she asked me to eat with her..." she said, her eyes were slightly red, "but it's better than you coming home. When you come back, it's not a quarrel Just don't talk. When you talk about the smell of perfume, doesn't your wife smell a little?"
Yan Zhengqi's gaze was fixed on the gift box, and when he heard the words, veins appeared on the back of his hand holding the gift box, "I don't know..."
"Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?" Aunt Zhang looked directly at him with clear eyes and said, "Aunt Zhang has seen a lot of things like this. Men go out to have fun, regardless of whether their wives are No matter what, I thought they would be happy for him. Just think about it and you will know whether they can be happy? Whether they are happy or sad, you should know even if you don’t need others to remind you.”
He was overwhelmed by the confrontation, his breath was suffocated, his eyes were turned away, and his eyes were slightly red.
Yes, it's not that he didn't think about it at all. Occasionally, he would flash through his mind. What is she doing, is she waiting for him to go home, maybe she is still working overtime at the company and has no food. He knows that she is concentrating on it. How serious you are. He thought about all of this, but when he wanted to vent the pressure of having no choice, he avoided thinking about her feelings.
Sometimes he even thought nastyly, he had already done this for her, it should be fine if she tolerated it once or twice, right
"I'm really worthless for my wife. When she listens to other people's gossip, points her nose and scolds 'it's because she can't give birth that her husband cheated', she should stand up and defend her husband, but she says she doesn't know."
He suddenly raised his eyes to look at Aunt Zhang, the words were so harsh, he couldn't believe that someone would use them to scold her. But he unexpectedly remembered the way his cousin scolded her behind her back.
He finally came to his senses, in this case, how could his sister-in-law scold him once and be caught by him? Before he realized it, she or other people in his family had already scolded her hundreds of times...
Suddenly, his cell phone rang, and the caller ID was Secretary Wen Ying's number.
"President Yan, something happened to President Wen."
When Wen Ying was driving on the road, her eyes were dazzled by the flash of the high beam, and she hit the railings on both sides of the road.
Fortunately, the railing was not the truck on the opposite side, and she adjusted the direction in time, so the injury was not serious, but the symptoms of dizziness required staying in the hospital for observation. She called the secretary and asked the other party to handle some matters such as hospitalization procedures for her, but she did not expect Gu Yuanzhou to come.
"...Why are you, why are you here?" She asked while holding her dizzy head.
"Don't move." He went to adjust her sitting posture for her, and said again, "You wait first, I will go through the formalities for you, and the truck driver, did you leave his phone number? Give me the number, and I will call someone Deal with it." As he said, he unconsciously remembered the situation when he was injured and hospitalized and she handled it for him, and a faint temperature grew in his black eyes.
She was even more surprised, and asked softly: "How did you know that I asked for his number..."
"I planted a spy." He said casually as he poured her water.
"You mean..." The secretary's name came to her mind.
He shook his head, followed by the name of a senior department manager.
As for how the department manager learned about her instant messages from the secretary, the formation of cliques, transactions, and emotional reasons are all possible reasons, Wen Ying is not going to go into details for the time being.
She was only momentarily surprised by his "unguardedness", and both of them knew what it meant for him to confide such information. A senior department manager receives little attention and is always trusted by the top management. The value he can generate is unpredictable. It is equivalent to two people playing a dark chess game, and he generously revealed his identity as a chess piece, allowing her to avoid it safely, knowing it well, and for him, the loss caused is incalculable.
"Why did you tell me?" She looked away and asked in a low voice.
"You can guess it even if I don't tell you." After he finished speaking, seeing that she didn't believe her, he said helplessly, "Don't worry about it, these are not as important as you."
When Yan Zhengqi arrived at the door of the ward, the grandmother who lived in the next bed was teasing the two of them.
"This is the first time grandma has seen such a careful young man. Are you dating or married?" Grandma also had minor injuries, but she was admitted to the hospital just in case she was too old. Having fun, it was a lot of fun.
Gu Yuanzhou originally wanted to assign Wen Ying a single room, but Wen Ying only said that she would stay for one day for observation, and it didn't matter which room she lived in, and she refused to mobilize the crowd, so he followed her.
Gu Yuanzhou only smiled and listened.
Wen Ying directly clarified: "I am married, but he is not my husband, grandma, you made a mistake."
"ah?"
Grandma didn't react for a while, she was a little dumbfounded.
The smile on Gu Yuanzhou's face did not change. After reading her medical records, he peeled another apple and handed it to the grandmother on the hospital bed, "You eat."
"Hey..." Grandma took the apple, looked at him one more time, and sighed again, "What a pity."
Wen Ying just smiled and didn't answer.
Gu Yuanzhou always has such a charm, he can easily bring others into his camp, he is a natural leader.
When the ward was quiet for a while, Wen Ying saw Yan Zhengqi who hurried over and stood outside the door. This time, she didn't need to ask. She also knew that her secretary should have told the other party about the incident. The secretary didn't know what happened to them tonight, so it was only natural for her to tell her husband.
It's just that the location of their villa is far away, so Gu Yuanzhou is a step behind.
Yan Zhengqi paused outside the door for a moment, until he met Wen Ying's gaze, and then hurried in, "It's all right, where did you hit, does it still hurt?" He seemed to ignore Gu Yuanzhou's existence, and only looked at her Hush and ask for warmth.
To be honest, he looks a bit sloppy now, because he drank alcohol in the evening, and now he has a lot of rashes on his neck and arms, and some on his face, plus the messy hair he scratched himself, and he is in a state of embarrassment. It's funny.
But Wen Ying couldn't laugh, and turned her eyes slightly, as if she didn't want to see him.
This reminded him inadvertently that she used to love to make fun of her rash. When she saw it for the first time, she couldn't help laughing. While applying ointment to him, she pointed out that it was pimples and made fun of him for not growing up.
His heart suddenly felt sour, and he asked her in a low voice: "Have you completed the formalities? I'll handle it."
