Zhou Yaze stared straight ahead, holding the steering wheel attentively. The car drove steadily on the bustling avenue in the night at an unhurried speed.
Looking at his focused and serious look, I snorted coldly and thought, how can he be so calm after drinking? Isn't he afraid of being caught by the traffic police?
I sat in the passenger seat and was so angry that I couldn't make a sound.
But gradually, I felt something was wrong. Looking out the window at the dark and unfamiliar road, where was he driving the car? He was definitely not taking me home, but this direction was not heading towards his home either.
direction, is he going to take me...
Thinking of this, I couldn't hold back my anger. I turned my head and asked him awkwardly: "You...where are you going to drive the car...?"
He glanced at me quickly and curved the corners of his mouth, but did not answer my question.
I turned my head angrily and didn't want to pay attention to him, but looking at the increasingly unfamiliar road outside the window, I couldn't help but feel even more angry.
"Where are you going to take me?" This time my voice suddenly rose an octave, and there was even a bit of frustration in my voice.
Unexpectedly, I yelled at him so loudly, but he was completely indifferent. His face was as calm as water, and he still looked ahead and concentrated on driving his car.
I couldn't sit still anymore, so I went up and started to snatch the steering wheel from his hand, muttering angrily: "Stop pretending to be deaf and dumb over there! Stop the car for me!"
As soon as I snatched it away, the steering wheel in Zhou Yaze's hand began to lose its direction. The car twisted this way and that on the quiet road, and was finally forced to stop slowly.
The car screeched to a halt in the dark shade of a tree on the roadside. Zhou Yaze sat quietly in the driver's seat and made no sound for a long time.
I looked at him angrily, and for a moment, he slowly turned his head to me and asked me calmly: "Do you really want us to get into a car crash? We can't be born on the same day, but we want to die on the same day, right?"
"
When I heard this, I glared with anger and yelled at him: "Crazy! Who wants to die on the same day as you? I haven't lived enough of this great life!"
Zhou Yaze sneered, turned his head away again, and looked straight ahead.
"Tell me, what's the matter? Tell me quickly. I don't want to sit here with you in the middle of the night. I have to go to work tomorrow!" I said to him angrily.
He turned on the lights in the car, then smiled wryly and let out a long sigh. He put his hands behind his head and leaned his head heavily toward the back of the chair, looking thoughtful and seemingly a little nervous.
Very tired.
Originally, I wanted to urge him to speak quickly if he had anything to say, but seeing the way he looked, I had no choice but to hold back the words that came to his lips.
Zhou Yaze was silent for a long time, then glanced at me and said to me leisurely: "Do you really hate me that much?"
I lowered my head and did not answer his question.
"In the past six months, it seems that you have lived a good life. You are appreciated by your boss. You have a handsome boy to accompany you on weekends. There is also a mature big brother in your life who cares about you. It seems that after leaving Yiyou, you have really taken off like a fish in water.
?”
Hearing what he said, I was a little angry. How come these men are so virtuous? Xu Minghui also came to me specifically after learning that I was living a happy life after the divorce and sarcastically mocked me. Zhou Yaze is still like this today! Do they all see it?
Do you want me to live a more nourishing and happier life than before?
"What do you want to say?" I asked him angrily, frowning.
Zhou Yaze looked at me, smiled bitterly, and murmured in a low voice: "We have been together for a few years, and even if we don't have feelings, we still have work commitments. How can you spend some time to listen to an old boss pour out a few words from his heart, and you won't give me any face at all?"
As he said that, Zhou Yaze gave me a slightly mocking look.
I sneered helplessly and said lukewarmly: "It seems that the role of listening to your voice should be played by your fiancée, right?"
After hearing my answer, Zhou Yaze seemed to be interested. He turned his head and came closer to me, looked into my eyes, and asked with a smile: "Are you jealous?"
I avoided his blazing eyes and replied angrily in a low voice: "Who is jealous?" At the same time, I muttered impatiently, "If you have anything to say, just tell me!"
Zhou Yaze leaned his head on the back of the chair again, sighed, and then slowly said to me: "I broke up with her."
When I heard the news, I was slightly surprised. I couldn't help but turn my head to look at Zhou Yaze, but I met his helpless eyes.
Looking at me and him, Zhou Yaze added to me: "To be precise, she is pregnant, but the child is not mine."
This news shocked me even more. For a long time, I didn't realize what was going on.
After a while, I whispered to him softly: "How do you know it's not yours?"
After all, Zhou Yaze and Wu Yanran are honest lovers, and having sex is inevitable. Before the woman is pregnant, it is difficult to determine whose seed the fetus in her belly is, so I wonder why Zhou Yaze is so sure that the child is not his.
of.
"She is almost two months pregnant, but I haven't touched her at all in the past three months." Zhou Yaze explained to me calmly.
Hearing what he said, I was a little puzzled. I didn't suppress my emotions and asked him directly: "Are you using cold violence against her?"
Although I was deeply fascinated by the man in front of me, if he deliberately ignored a woman and forced her to break up with him, from the perspective of justice, I cannot agree with and understand this behavior, so I asked this question
he.
"It's not cold violence, right? I just want each other to calm down and see how we go in the future and whether there is any possibility of being together. During this period, she was really making trouble... It was so powerful that it made me physically and mentally exhausted.
We are all exhausted." Zhou Yaze's tone revealed deep helplessness.
"Then what? Then she... found someone else?" I asked in a low voice.
Zhou Yaze smiled bitterly, and then slowly said to me: "She said that because she was too depressed, she went to the bar to get drunk, and ended up leaving with a man she didn't want to be acquainted with. The man took her to the hotel, and finally...that happened
Such a thing." Zhou Yaze's indifferent tone did not contain any emotion.
As I listened, I felt a little sorry for Wu Yanran. I thought about it and said to Zhou Yaze: "If this is the case, can you sue the other party for rape? The woman is completely unconscious when she is drunk! In this case, it happened with a woman
Relationship is no different from rape!"
Seeing my somewhat indignant look, Zhou Yaze smiled helplessly and said to me calmly: "Do you really believe what she said?"
"I..." I was speechless and choked for a moment.
Zhou Yaze smiled wryly to himself, and then slowly said to me: "But according to my later investigation, she had known that man before, and he was also a second-generation rich man with a well-established family background."
This time I don’t know what to say. After all, the background of Zhou Yaze and Wu Yanran’s circle is so deep that a grassroots person like me can’t understand it.
"Originally, she wanted to hide everything from me. She even wanted to secretly abort the fetus under the planning of her mother, and then marry me legitimately..." After a while, Zhou Yaze said to me again leisurely, with a hint of emotion in his tone.
With a hint of sarcasm.
"But how is that possible?" Zhou Yaze glanced at me, his eyes even more sarcastic, "It's not the first day that I, Zhou, came out to hang out. How could these things escape my eyes and ears?"
Zhou Yaze sneered, then reached into his pocket and took out a box of cigarettes.
He took out one and lit it, and the choking smoke filled the small space of the carriage. I couldn't help but cough twice, and frowned and used my hands to drive away the choking smoke.
Seeing my scene, Zhou Yaze wisely put out his cigarette and half-opened the car window.
The fresh and cool air at night flows into the car, making you feel refreshed all of a sudden.
"So what are you going to do now?" After a moment, I asked him softly.
Zhou Yaze leaned his head against the car seat, let out a long sigh, and said slowly: "It turns out that I want to break up, but I can't because the two families have been together for a long time and have an intricate relationship in all aspects. Her father saved my father's life."
, my father helped his father many times in the shopping mall. Many years of friendship, coupled with the drive of family interests, made it difficult for our two families to separate. She even told my mother that she would rather I find a younger one after marriage.
Be my nominal wife. The dignified eldest daughter of the Wu family has lowered her status so low. What else can my parents say? Besides, my parents were also grateful for her father's kindness back then, so my mother said to me, you
You can have other women, but the one you marry into the family must be Yanran. I admit that I am not a man who looks the same on the outside. Although I appear to outsiders as a cold and resolute side, in the face of family pressure, I
I still chose to compromise. After all, love is too illusory to me, and the intricate relationship between us and the Wu family actually exists in my real life."
Listening to Zhou Yaze's words silently, I really didn't know what kind of opinion I should express.
After a moment, Zhou Yaze sighed again, and then continued: "Now that something like this has happened, this marriage will definitely not work out. I can openly propose to break up with her. Originally, after such a scandal happened, I
I should feel angry and ashamed, but for some reason, I feel relieved now..."
Having said this, Zhou Yaze glanced at me and asked me calmly: "Do you think I'm too unsympathetic?"
I looked at him and didn't know what to say.
Is he ruthless? It probably doesn’t count. He is burdened with too many things. His marriage and love relationship with Wu Yanran is no longer just an emotional entanglement between two young people, but also involves too many family backgrounds. This
This feeling itself is very heavy.
"I know I'm sorry for Yanran, but in fact, this choice is not a good thing for her, because I don't love her at all. Even if she gets what she wants and becomes my wife, she will still be with someone I don't love after marriage.
Living with a man will be a bigger nightmare for her. Now, at least she can find a man who truly loves her and cherishes her." After a moment of silence, Zhou Yaze slowly said to me.
