Chapter 35: The Iron Woman with a Heart Like Steel
Chu Huandong finally found the target he was looking for, immediately spread his long legs, walked over without hesitation, and pushed open the half-open door.
Wang Zhangzhu's house is on the second floor. The afternoon sun shines in slantingly. Outside the window, a thick camphor tree tree has lush leaves and covers half of the window. The sunlight shines on the ground in spots through the shade of the tree.
Green wall-creepers crawl on the west wall, white window sills, dark vermilion blinds, quiet and beautiful.
After Wang Zhangzhu was discharged from the hospital, Su Yanchi took her back to live. Everything in the house was ready for her. The wardrobe was filled with clothes bought in her size, and the bookshelves were filled with books she liked to read.
Chu Huandong quickly looked around the room and found no trace of a man living here, and he was relieved.
When Wang Zhangzhu saw him walking into his room, he hurriedly followed him in, lowering his voice and saying in annoyance: "What are you doing? Who let you in?"
Chu Huandong has been frustrated by Wang Zhangzhu these days. He doesn't care about her sarcastic words or scolding and rolling her eyes. He said shamelessly: "I just care about you and want to see your current living environment. What's wrong?"
Wang Zhangzhu didn't expect Chu Huandong to have such a childish and rogue side, so he rolled his eyes angrily, "Okay, now that you've seen it, you can go!"
"This is how you entertain guests. You have forgotten all the etiquette I taught you when you were a child!" Chu Huandong calmly walked to the small sofa and sat down, and said depressedly: "I held the child and walked all the way, and I felt thirsty.
Even if I die, you won’t even give me a glass of water.”
Wang Zhangzhu was very angry. The short-term tenderness that appeared in the secret passage was gone, and a nameless anger arose spontaneously. This person broke into her room in such a natural manner and wanted to disturb her peace without any hesitation.
and sorry.
But then he thought, Chu Huandong was telling the truth. He started holding Niu Niu in his arms in the secret passage, squeezed out of the bustling playground, walked through the long square, and walked to the car. Maybe he was really thirsty.
.
She went downstairs angrily to pour water for Chu Huandong, and she met Su Yanchi walking out of Niuniu's room. Su Yanchi saw her expression was not kind, so she asked kindly and carefully: "Should we keep Mr. Chu here?"
After dinner, I saw that he seemed very tired. If he stayed for dinner, I would ask the servants to prepare it now!"
Wang Zhangzhu really couldn't laugh or cry. Su Yanchi, even if you don't care about me, you don't have to show it so obviously and actively lead the wolf into the house. For a person like Chu Huandong, if you dare to let him eat here, he will dare to ask to be here.
overnight.
"What kind of food should we give him? If a CEO of his age is hungry and doesn't eat anywhere, we can just give him some water to drink!" Wang Zhangzhu said angrily.
Su Yanchi realized that she had said the wrong thing and hurried downstairs.
Wang Zhangzhu quickly brought a glass of water and saw Chu Huandong with his back to her, looking at a large photo on the wall.
It was taken the day after Niuniu came back, when Wang Zhangzhu was playing with her in the garden. The mother and daughter in the photo were both smiling happily, with the same dimples on their faces and the same eyebrows.
bend.
Chu Huandong stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the photo motionless.
Wang Zhangzhu walked into the room and coughed slightly, before Chu Huandong turned back in a daze.
The wind blew in through the slightly open window, and Wang Zhangzhu's hair in front of her forehead was blown up diagonally. Under the golden sunlight, her face became more and more white and delicate, like fine bone china. The corners of her mouth were slightly upward when facing Chu Huandong.
It had a moist arc that made his heart flutter.
"Drink water!" Wang Zhangzhu handed the water to Chu Huandong.
Chu Huandong held the glass of boiled water and looked at Wang Zhangzhu in front of him. Her words and actions were all covered with easy-going and polite, but her stubbornness and persistence were revealed from time to time in her bones. He didn't know that it was the hurt he had done to her that changed her.
, makes her always reject people thousands of miles away, or is it that time has sculpted her into the cold look she is now!
Wang Zhangzhu looked at Chu Huandong holding the water glass absentmindedly, and couldn't help but remind him: "Didn't you say you were thirsty? Why don't you drink?"
"...Ah...yes...drink..." Chu Huandong hurriedly lowered his head to drink water, but he drank water as if he were tasting wine, sipping in small sips, and occasionally chatting with Wang Zhangzhu.
"Zhangzhu, the water at your home is sent from outside, or filtered by your own water purifier. It tastes very good!"
Chu Huandong's lack of words made Wang Zhangzhu dumbfounded. She answered patiently: "I filtered it with my own water purifier."
"What brand of water purifier is it? I'll ask someone to deliver one tomorrow."
"I don't know, I don't care about these things at home." Wang Zhangzhu's good patience was exhausted by Chu Huandong's boredom.
…
"Zhangzhu, are you still used to living here?" Chu Huandong took a sip of water.
"Habit."
"What about you, are you used to living there?"
"Of course I'm used to it. This is my home originally. How could I not be used to living here!" Wang Zhangzhu's words began to be thorny. This man has become thicker-skinned now. He won't give up unless it hurts him.
Chu Huandong's expression was indeed stagnant. He took a breath and asked tentatively: "Will Niuniu still sleep with you every night?"
Wang Zhangzhu knew what he meant and said deliberately: "She is so old, why does she sleep with me? Besides, that's not convenient!"
Chu Huandong's face turned pale. He squeezed the water glass tightly, stared at his toes, and said hoarsely: "Zhangzhu, you are blind to all the hints I gave you. I don't care about these."
I don't mind if you directly or indirectly hit my self-esteem and self-confidence, because this is my fault.
You are a girl and have more rights to be willful than men. If a woman makes many mistakes, a man must forgive them unconditionally. If a man makes a mistake, he will definitely not receive the same treatment."
Wang Zhangzhu knew that Chu Huandong had a sharp mind and sharp words. Hearing him criticize her indirectly like this, his bright eyes filled with anger, "What do you want to do? Denounce me? Want to assert your macho justice? I didn't let you.
Come and endure everything I have to do, and you can leave!"
The room was silent for a moment.
Chu Huandong could tolerate Wang Zhangzhu's indifference, but he didn't know when this little girl started to become unreasonable. Although Wang Zhangzhu was pampered and raised by Wang Dacheng since she was a child, she has always behaved very...
Reasonable, especially with him, they have always gotten along very harmoniously.
Over the years, Wang Zhangzhu has been very considerate of him. There has never been a time when Chu Huandong was willful, arrogant, and unreasonable. As soon as Chu Huandong was free, he immediately thought of Wang Zhangzhu. No matter what complicated problems he faced,
When he thought of the gentle and lovely Wang Zhangzhu, his heart softened involuntarily.
The unreasonable Wang Zhangzhu in front of him was absolutely unfamiliar to Chu Huandong.
After a while, Chu Huandong calmed down the depression in his heart. He said with some humor: "Zhangzhu, I don't mean to promote male chauvinism. In our current situation, do you think I am still qualified and have the right to control you?"
Are you judging me in front of me? I just want to tell you, don’t be so determined to sentence me to death, just give me a chance to take care of you within the scope that you can accept!"
Chu Huandong's gentle and magnetic voice made Wang Zhangzhu's mood even more confusing. Chu Huandong's sad look and gentle voice made her feel sad in her heart.
Wang Zhangzhu made up his mind again. Even if he was reluctant to give up, if he couldn't devote himself to love without any scruples, then it would be too difficult to accept the care and companionship from Chu Huandong.
She said angrily, "We have no chance. You don't have to compromise and waste your time with me. If you continue to come uninvited and aggressively disturb my life like this, I can only choose to cut the knot quickly and marry Su immediately."
Yan Chi."
Chu Huandong couldn't help being startled, and suddenly felt like he couldn't breathe. Wang Zhangzhu was so cruel, and he didn't even have any compromise or nostalgia for him.
After leaving Su's house, it was already getting dark. There were endless lights on both sides of the road, and traffic flowed like a river. Chu Huandong drove the car silently, and countless huge and arrogant neon signs were quickly thrown down by his car.
The bizarre and ever-changing night view of the city is very beautiful, but Chu Huandong is not in the mood to appreciate it at all. Wang Zhangzhu is stubborn and stubborn, which makes him very troubled.
It was getting dark outside. When Niu Niu woke up after a long sleep, the first thing she did was to run over and ask Wang Zhangzhu, where is my father?
Wang Zhangzhu was a little helpless, but had to tell the truth. She told Niuniu that her father had gone home. She clearly saw the deep disappointment and sadness on the child's face. Niuniu, who was originally lively and energetic, immediately became depressed.
The servant prepared the meal, and Su Yanchi called the mother and daughter downstairs to have dinner. At the dinner table, Su Yanchi tried his best to tease Niu Niu, who looked gloomy. Niu Niu couldn't stand his teasing. After a while, her face
There was a smile on his face again.
Seeing that her daughter was happy again, Wang Zhangzhu felt relieved and forced herself to eat a few mouthfuls. Then she said she was tired and left Niuniu and Su Yanchi playing downstairs while she went upstairs to rest.
She fumbled and sat down in front of the dressing table, turned down the switch of the desk lamp, and stared at herself in the mirror, as if she were looking at a stranger. Even she herself didn't know when she had become so ruthless and heartless as steel.
Maybe what Song Liangyu and Chu Huandong said is right. His father is Wang Dacheng, so he has a ruthless nature hidden in his bones. This nature is exposed little by little as the facts change.
She is no longer that 18-year-old girl. Under Chu Huandong's gaze, she blushes and her heart beats, revealing all her girlish feelings to him unabashedly.
The ups and downs of the world have gradually put on hard and thick armor for her. Now the woman in the mirror has a cold expression and resolute eyes. She will no longer be moved by Chu Huandong's affectionate confession.
