Chapter 19 The Taste of Chocolate

Jane Jane didn't run far away, just sat next to the flowerbed downstairs, lowering her head, sobbing, and her shoulders kept shaking.
Shi Lei walked over, looked down at her, and said a few words of comfort, but he didn't know where to start.
"I just heard your parents' conversation and roughly understood the situation. Your father was a little idle and probably had some bad habits. This family has always been supported by your mother. When there was no accident before, although there was a lot of quarrels, it was at least a complete home. But later your father cheated and took his mistress out on a play. Something happened. I guess it was a car accident... Your father didn't have much trouble, but the mistress had something to do, and your father was also worried.
It should be drunk driving, so you are also criminally responsible while recovering civil liability. Your mother asked for divorce in anger. The court awarded you to your mother and also awarded the only common property in the family, the house, to your mother. But your father was unwilling to accept it after being sentenced to probation and often made trouble. It was only in more than a year that you became like this, right? Perhaps, like your mother, you hate that you have such a father."
Jane Zhang was stunned. She didn't expect that from the simple quarrel that Shi Lei could almost restore all the truth.
She raised her head, with black tears still hanging on her face. Shi Lei took out a tissue and handed it over.
"Actually, it's not difficult to guess. It's just that my previous tutor probably doesn't want to get involved, so I didn't tell you. Let me say that, you hate that you have such a father, but your mother is not wrong. Maybe you are a little unwilling to accept her divorce, but as long as you are a normal woman, you probably won't tolerate your husband doing such a thing. Of course, I am an outsider and I don't plan to persuade you. I just want to say that your rebellion and everything you do cannot revenge your father. All he cares about is to ask for money from your mother, maybe more than one. Once he succeeds, he will treat your mother as an ATM in the future. What you can revenge is your mother, but should your mother really bear your revenge?"
"Why do you say he doesn't care about me?" Jane Zhang finally spoke, with a choking voice.
Shi Lei sat down next to Jane Zhang and said, "If he cares about you, the first thing he should do when he comes in the door should at least ask you, but even if it is false, it only means that this man doesn't care about anyone except him."
Jane Zhang didn't say anything again, but just used the tissue Shi Lei gave her to wipe her face hard.
After throwing away the tissue, Shi Lei saw that Jane Zhang was actually quite pretty, but her heavy makeup just now completely covered her face.
"You may feel that you are unhappy, and you also feel that your unhappiness comes from your parents, so you want to retaliate against them with such behavior..."
"You nonsense! Who do you think you are? Do you think you know everything! How many minutes have you known me? Just tell me these great principles here! What I hate the most is people like you, full of great principles, you don't know anything at all. Don't pretend to be like you understand everything! Get out of here! I don't want you to be my tutor!"
Suddenly, Jane Zhang, who had finally calmed down a little, seemed to be stimulated again and roared again.
Shi Lei was stunned and immediately understood.
"Okay, it seems that I was wrong. You are not trying to take revenge on your mother, nor do you want to take revenge on your father. In your heart, you probably don't want to recognize that father for a long time, right? I know, you lack care. You think you have no father anymore, but your mother is busy working all day long, and she doesn't care about you. So, you made yourself like this, but in fact, I just hope she can care more about you."
"You fart! It's not like this at all! I don't need anyone to care about it. I just like this now! Get out! You have already got the money today, and my business has nothing to do with you! Get out!"
Looking at Zhang Liangliang who was hoarse, Shi Lei knew that he had completely guessed her thoughts.
After hesitating for a moment, Shi Lei stood up and returned the keys to her.
"I will contact your mother when you look back. You can calm down here for a while." After that, Shi Lei turned around and left.
Behind him, Jane Jane opened her tears and confused eyes wide, and she couldn't understand Shi Lei's routine.
After taking two steps, Shi Lei turned around, took out a piece of chocolate from his bag, and handed it over: "When you are in a bad mood, eating a piece of chocolate will help relieve your emotions."
Putting the chocolate into Jane Zhang's hand, Shi Lei turned around and left.
Jane Zhang looked at the chocolate in her hand and cursed: "I want your chocolate!" She raised her hand and threw the chocolate far away towards Shi Lei's back.
Shi Lei did not look back. He knew that at this time, no matter what he said to Jane Zhang, the only response she received was her increasingly hysterical resistance.
Seeing Shi Lei really walked away like this, tears on Jane Zhang's face couldn't help but flow down again. She looked helplessly at the direction of the community gate, muttering, but she didn't know what she was muttering.
After a long time, the tears finally dried up, and the world became no longer clear in the blurred eyes.
In Jane Zhang's ears, she seemed to hear Shi Lei's voice again.
Shi Lei told her: "When you are in a bad mood, eating a piece of chocolate will help relieve your emotions."
Jane Zhang wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and looked at the broken chocolate on the ground in front of her. While hesitating, she walked over, picked up a piece, carefully wiped away the dust from the chocolate and put it in her mouth.
It is sweet and has a little bit of the unique bitter taste of cocoa, mixed together, stimulating Jane's taste buds.
Driven by an invisible force, Jane Zhang picked up the remaining chocolates on the ground one by one and ate them all.
I don’t know why, Jane Jane really felt that her mood had improved, perhaps because of these chocolates, or perhaps because of tears, she vented a lot of negative emotions in her heart.
Holding the key to the house that Shi Lei forced her in his hand, Zhang Liangliang could still feel the warmth left by Shi Lei in her palm.
Suddenly, Jane Zhang ran wildly towards home, found her cell phone, and called Zhang Meimei.
Zhang Meimei was having a meeting, but when she saw her daughter’s phone call, she still chose to answer.
"What is the phone number of the tutor?"
Zhang Meimei was a little surprised and asked, "Has Teacher Xiaoshi left?"
"Give me his phone number!" Jane Zhang's tone still seemed unpolite, just as she used to communicating with her mother. However, Zhang Meimei felt a little different. In the past, Jane Zhang would never want their contact information.
To suppress his surprise, Zhang Meimei sent Shi Lei's phone number to Zhang Liangliang.
Chapter completed!
