141 Potential Crisis

Shushu walked home slowly, only five minutes away from home, but she walked for half an hour and had not yet arrived. Her mind was very messy, and many scenes in the past had risen.

She couldn't hate Tang Youqing, and even felt ashamed of her previous hostility towards her. She finally understood Ling Qiao's words: if he wanted to take care of her life, he would respond to her every request. Yes, no one would ignore this kindness.

But Tang Youqing wanted the person Ling Qiao, what should she do?!

Suddenly, the sound of a car horn came from the side. Shushu looked back and saw that it was Ling Qiao's car. Time was so fast that Ling Qiao had already gotten off work.

"Wife, where did you go?" Ling Qiao parked the car next to her, opened the car door, "Come on."

Shushu got into the car, but her face was not good-looking. She forced a smile and said, "It's only a few steps. I want to take a walk. It's too boring to stay at home all day."

"Haha, after dinner, I'll accompany you to walk around the community?"

"No, I'm tired of walking today and want to go to bed early."

Ling Qiao glanced at her, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, hehe, you're driving your car."

Ling Qiao felt something was wrong, but she didn't want to say much, so he didn't ask.

After dinner, the two of them were watching TV in the living room. Ling Qiao wanted to say something about a business trip, but looking at Shu Shu's heavy expression, he hesitated a little. He accidentally saw a kraft paper envelope in the trash can next to the coffee table, and some small colored pieces, like photo paper, but were torn.

He felt vaguely that something had happened in his heart.

Mrs. Zhang brought the apple up and took a bite. It smelled a little astringent, "Sister Zhang, haven't wiped the fruit knife clean? This apple is so astringent."

"Ah? So, I'm sorry, Grandma, then I'll cut another plate."

"No, that piece is astringent. I've eaten it all, it doesn't matter. Mrs. Zhang, you can go home early after you finish cleaning up."

"Okay, thank you, grandma."

When Mrs. Zhang waited for the servants to leave, Ling Qiao asked, "Is there anything I want to say?"

Shu Shu smiled and picked up an apple for him to eat, "Did you see it?"

"Um."

Shu Shu nodded and lowered her eyebrows, with deep apology in her eyes, but she didn't want to accept her fate, "I know everything about Husband and Sister Youqing."

Ling Qiao was stunned. It shouldn't be. Qing didn't know how to say this kind of thing himself, and Chen Jiaqian wouldn't say it. If it was Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang would have gone back to Australia, how could he talk to Shushu?!

"I know you are in conflict, and I don't know what to do, but people are selfish. I can't be so generous, and I don't want to be separated from you. I'll ask you something, you must tell me sincerely and not hide it from me."

"You said." A hoarse and heavy voice came.

"Leave moral responsibility aside, now in your heart, who do you want to be with?"

Shushu asked seriously, but Ling Qiao smiled, "If you ask me this, if a man asks me, he will say he is with you."

Shu Shu thought to herself, it was right, which man would foolishly say that he would choose someone else in front of his wife, but she didn't know how to ask for it to be accurate.

Ling Qiao held her hands tightly and said solemnly: "Wife, now when you think about problems, you can't get rid of morality and responsibility. We are not in love, we are husband and wife, legitimate couple. Youqing, it's me that I owe her. Before she finds a good home, I have the responsibility to take care of her. Can you understand that?"

Shu Shu nodded heavily. In this way, Ling Qiao wanted this family in her heart, but she couldn't let go of her guilt for Tang Youqing. Before finding a better solution, it was the most appropriate for him to do so.

"Who have you seen today?" If someone hadn't told her, how could she know.

Shu Shu didn't dare to hide it and said honestly: "Li Changzhi."

"He? He is not a good person." Ling Qiao frowned.

"He also watched Tang Youqing work hard and wanted to help her. I was shocked when he told me about this. Tang Youqing has paid too much for you, and even I am beyond my reach. I used to be bad, and I always go against her and always make you angry." Think about it, what did she pay for Ling Qiao? She has always caused trouble.

Ling Qiao saw Shushu speak earnestly, and he was a little worried. "Little thing, stay by my side and don't think too much about anything. No matter what you hear or see, you must believe me. If you have any questions in your heart, you must ask me. If someone else is provoking you, you will believe me. I am often followed by paparazzi and often on the news, and what you see is not necessarily true, do you understand?"

"Well, I've known this for a long time. I'm not a fool. Will I listen to others' instigation?"

"What is that?" Ling Qiao pointed to the trash can, "Who sent the photos?"

"Isn't it Li Changzhi? He asked me out. He called me out. He didn't even count as calling a phone. I even said I couldn't go there, so he sent photos home. I wanted to just go see me so that he would not bother me in the future. This photo is just a secret photo of you and Tang Youqing. If I didn't believe you, he would definitely succeed."

Ling Qiao sighed, "Oh, this Li Changzhi is infatuated with Youqing. It would be great if he didn't do so many small moves."

The two opened their hearts and chatted for a long time. It was not easy for them to understand each other from the quarrels before to the mutual understanding today. However, now it is not just Ling Qiao, but even Shushu is ashamed and pitiful as Tang Weiqing. A woman has suffered such great harm and left her hometown for three years, just to fulfill her beloved. When she comes back, she finds that things have changed. The previous vows have long disappeared. It feels sad to think about it.

Whenever she thinks of this, Shushu feels that she is a sinner, and she feels that she is the third party. Perhaps, these are really destined by heaven.

The next morning, Shu Shu woke up and looked at her husband who was sleeping soundly beside her. Ling Qiao slept heavily, without any alertness. Shu Shu was so excited that she pinched his stubble with her nails like she was picking a silver needle. She pulled it slowly, but he didn't wake up either.

A text message suddenly came from the phone placed on the bedside table. Ling Qiao frowned and moved for a while, but still didn't wake up.

Who would send a message here so early? Shushu curiously took his cell phone and saw that it was Deng Zijun's. He asked him if he would go on a business trip in Shenzhen today, so he had to hurry to book tickets.

Work matters are too careless, Shushu quickly woke Ling Qiao up, "Husband, wake up, Assistant Deng asked you if you are going to Shenzhen today."

Ling Qiao was sleepy and complained, "This Zijun asked about this early in the morning."

"You didn't make a decision on yourself, and you can blame others? You just care about the result, but they have to do the process."

"Yes, yes, you said." Ling Qiao rubbed her face and made herself more awake. "Oh, I originally arranged to go, but I can't worry about you. I'm going to go for a week."

Shu Shu smiled, "What's there to worry about? I'll eat, drink, sleep and sleep at home. Otherwise, I'll go see my grandma and parents. There's a chef for dinner and a driver when going out, so I'll just go to the bathroom and no one can help me. Even if you go on a business trip, work is important, so that my mother won't blame me again."

Ling Qiao couldn't help laughing, "Oh, my wife is so reasonable."

"Go and go, hurry up and reply to Assistant Deng. It's not easy for him to work."

Ling Qiao took his cell phone and said while typing: "Then be good at home and take good care of yourself. If you have any discomfort, you must immediately notify me and I will bring you a gift when I come back."

"Okay, then I'll clean up for you first."

This is the first time Ling Qiao has to go out for so long since he got married. He didn't want to go there at first, but this time he went to Shenzhen to discuss with the people there about opening a branch in New Zealand. He also wanted to complete many procedures. Conservatively, it would take a week to stay. If something went wrong in the middle, it would be more than a week.

At the door, Shushu watched Ling Qiao leave, and she turned around and said to Mrs. Zhang, "Sister Zhang, I'll go shopping with you today."

"Grandma, this is not enough. There are so many people buying groceries, so I'll just go and buy them."

"...Okay," Shushu turned to the kitchen again, "Chef Shen, I want to learn how to cook from you and teach me how to cook that sweet and sour squirrel mandarin fish. I want to make it for Ling Qiao to eat." Seeing that he had eaten a lot last night, he kept saying it was delicious. She wanted to make something for him, and she couldn't make a few decent dishes for her. She was always unreasonable.

Seeing that she was sincere, Chef Shen agreed unwillingly.

Mrs. Zhang: "Then I'll buy a mandarin fish today."

Mrs. Zhang quickly left the door. She looked solemn and walked very quickly. After leaving the community gate, she did not turn to the supermarket, but went to a small alley.

The wind blowing from the alley was a little strong. Several fallen leaves on the ground were blown up. After flying for a while, they fell down again with their fate. Mrs. Zhang walked forward silently and walked to the entrance of the alley. A black shadow flashed and she was pulled closer to the alley.

"Oh, I'm scared to death. I'm going to be scared to death by you."

The man wearing big sunglasses was wearing black clothes and asked anxiously: "Have you given her food?"

"I ate it, I applied the aloe vera juice to the fruit. She almost found it yesterday, but fortunately the amount is small."

"Then keep giving her food!"

Mrs. Zhang felt unbearable and said timidly: "Young Master, do you have to do this? I think this young lady Ling treats people very well and takes good care of our servants. I..."

"If you don't do it, then go back to your hometown with your son and wait for death. I won't pay a penny for medical expenses."

"No, no, young master, I do it, I do it." Mrs. Zhang begged helplessly, "Young master, I am not afraid of retribution for my old life. I just ask you to save my son, he is still young."

The man in black said confidently: "Sister Zhang, you have been working in my house for many years. I trust you to help me do this. If you say you don't do it now, don't blame me for being unkind! I just received the news from the hospital that the heart that suits your son has been found. As long as you help me do it, your son's surgery will be done immediately."

Mrs. Zhang knelt down on the ground with a "thump", "Okay, okay, thank you for your life-saving kindness. I will thank you for your son first." She cried and held her hands tremblingly.
