36. Head-to-head confrontation is changed for Ai Wu
I had moved the computer from the study room into my room before, turned on the host and waited for it to start up, and I couldn't help but sigh. I had already expected such a scene in the first confrontation, but I still felt uncomfortable when I saw Mrs. Xu's eyes and attitude.
In fact, Xu Ziyang is very similar to his mother. Not only is the look between his eyebrows, but the sense of superiority and arrogance in his bones is completely inherited from his mother. If he hadn't been interested in me, I believe he would be as scornful as that noble lady outside.
.
And the situation that I originally expected was not at all intolerable when it actually came. The cold war between me and Mrs. Xu started when Xu Ziyang went out. He inevitably had to participate in one social event after another, for
His father was looking for an opportunity to come out. I had no right to say anything on this matter. I could only advise him to drink less with an indifferent attitude.
Although he deserves to be happy, he can't help it. It's always dark when he gets off work, so Mrs. Xu and I are the only ones left at the dinner table in the evening. In fact, the most unbearable thing for people is cold violence. If you have any dissatisfaction, speak up.
You can be a little too angry, but there are people who sneer with disdain and sneer at you every time you do something.
For example, I came home from get off work and cooked three dishes in a hurry. Then Mrs. Xu flipped through it twice with chopsticks, then pushed the bowl and walked back to the room. The door was opened very loudly. I twitched at the corner of my eye and kept silent patiently.
After eating the food, she threw away the remaining food and washed the dishes together.
When I was just sitting in front of the computer, preparing to read some information, I suddenly heard an exclamation from outside the house. I rushed out and found that it was coming from the bathroom. I ran to take a look and saw that the showerhead in the bathroom had fallen to the ground and the water was flowing.
It sprayed everywhere, and the instigator gave me a cold back.
One day when I came home from work, I heard a "puff" sound coming from the kitchen when I walked in. I dropped my bag and rushed into the kitchen. I found that water was boiling on the stove, and the water had already boiled and was tumbling. There was even more water.
He overflowed and threw himself on the flames, which was why he made that noise. He was so angry that he stepped forward and turned off the fire, then walked over and knocked hard on the door of the guest room.
After a while, the door was opened, and Mrs. Xu looked tired, as if she had just woken up.
I couldn't bear it any longer! I blurted out: "Do you have any common sense? You were boiling water on the stove and accidentally caught fire, so you went to the room to sleep? Do you know what will happen after the water is boiled dry? The fire will burn the kettle until it becomes red and hot.
!Furthermore, if water is thrown on the fire and it goes out, the gas will leak. Needless to say, you already know the consequences."
I didn’t even dare to think about it, what if she was there boiling water very early, and I came back after get off work, and she was home alone... After I finished yelling, I realized that my hands were shaking slightly because of the excitement. , also because of fear.
Mrs. Xu's face became extremely cold, and she stared at me fiercely, as if her eyes were tempered with hatred.
It didn't seem like there was any real hatred, so I narrowed my eyes slightly.
After half a confrontation, she turned around indifferently, and the door slammed shut again. I laughed angrily, and sat down on the sofa, thinking about what happened recently. It had been half a month since Xu Ziyang brought his mother to live in the house.
Every day was like a war. Only when he was at home did Mrs. Xu look a little better.
The way she looked at Xu Ziyang was filled with unspeakable distress. It had been seen earlier that she was protecting her son in every possible way. Now, seeing him working hard every day, how could it not be uncomfortable? Especially for the most outstanding person in her eyes.
My son, who was left alone in the living room as the director, felt that I had abused Xu Ziyang.
Although the sofa is soft, it is not long enough and cannot be flattened into a sofa bed. Considering Xu Ziyang's tall figure, it is really uncomfortable to sleep on it with hands and feet. I also suggested that I buy another bed, but he
He refused on the pretext of sleeping soundly. No matter what his reason was, I didn't discuss the matter much.
Click! The sound of the door was behind me, so I didn't look back. But when I saw Mrs. Xu walking toward the door with her suitcase in my peripheral vision, I immediately became angry. "Where are you going?" She ignored me and changed her shoes by the door.
"Go back to the hotel? Allow me to remind you, noble Mrs. Xu, you are no longer the high-ranking wife of the secretary. Your husband is still suffering, and your son is surrounded by enemies. Are you sure you want to leave now?"
With a clang, she threw the box on the ground, turned around and pointed at me angrily: "Yu Qian, shut up! It's our Xu family's business, and it's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks!"
"Xu family affairs? Xu family affairs? You can't stand it after just mentioning it a few times? This is why you hide at home every day and don't dare to go out? But can you block my mouth, can you block the mouth of the world? Failure is not terrible,
As long as you work hard, you can still succeed; being down is not terrible, as long as you seize the opportunity, you can turn over. What is terrible is that when the platform falls, people also fall and cannot stand up. And you are this kind of person! So you hide in your room every day
, don’t dare to see anyone!”
I have wanted to say this to her for a long time. From the first day she came in, I can tolerate those bad habits that she has developed for a long time, and I can understand her feelings as a wife and mother in this situation, but
She didn't know how sad it was for her son who felt so distressed every time he looked at her back. She was not depressed or trapped, but wasting away in the lonely space.
Those black shadows under her eyelids, how many sleepless nights did she have? More than once I saw her pouring water and secretly taking medicine. When she wasn't paying attention, I peeked at the medicine, which has a stabilizing effect. I don't know about this.
Knowing whether Xu Ziyang knew or not, he should have noticed it with his keenness, but he chose to remain silent. If this continues, she will either suffer from autism or depression.
I looked at the woman in front of me, her cold and arrogant attitude peeling away bit by bit, and she could no longer hold back the hatred on her angry face. She rushed to me in a few steps, pointed at me and scolded me as if she was extremely hateful: "Yu Qian, you are
What a disaster! From the first time I saw you, I knew you were here to harm Zi Yang! He almost died trying to save you, but then he thought you were dead and felt like he had lost all time. Then he found you, okay,
It was my son who accepted the death penalty, so he identified you, and I had no choice but to accept it. Unexpectedly, you suddenly left at that moment. He knew that the situation was tense and dropped everything to chase you. Then he was caught in the empty door, which eventually led to the secretary being framed!
The culprit that caused all this is you! You still act like you are giving alms with mercy, as if Zi Yang and I are being supported by you and living under your roof. Don’t think that I don’t know that this house originally belongs to Zi Yang, but it’s just
It's just transferred to your name! Why are you bossing me around here?"
After speaking, she was out of breath and breathing heavily. To me, it was really a miracle. I had met her twice before, and in the past half month, the words I had spoken to her were not as good as now.
Much. But I saw that her face was a little red because of her excitement, which was much better than her original pale and weak appearance.
I snorted softly and then raised my lips: "The culprit? Mrs. Xu, you are too strong. I cannot bear this crime. There are internal political struggles and changes in the situation. I don't have the confidence to affect the overall situation. As for this house
, you also said that he transferred it to my name. My name is on the real estate certificate. When it was authenticated by the Legal Affairs Office, it was also my house. So, in this house, I definitely have the right to speak. There is another point.
Allow me to correct you, I was not dictating to you just now, but I was trying to spread common sense."
"You..." Mrs. Xu was so angry that she was shaking all over.
At this time, the door was opened from the outside. Xu Ziyang walked in and saw our confrontation, and was stunned for a moment.
"You?" He lowered his head and looked at the box at his feet, then looked at us again, realization flashed in his eyes. Mrs. Xu walked up to him in a few steps and took his arm: "Zi Yang, let's not stay here.
"
Xu Ziyang didn't say anything, just looked at her calmly. Because Mrs. Xu's back was to me, I couldn't see the expression on her face, but I could see her fingers loosening their grip little by little, and after a while she became slumped.
Turn around and walk slowly towards the room.
He and I were left looking at each other in the living room. His eyes seemed calm, but in fact they concealed a dark storm, as if they were sucking me into a deep well. I said softly: "Aren't you going to see her?" He smiled slightly.
I nodded and walked into Mrs. Xu's room. The door was closed, blocking my sight and isolating me from the outside.
He was not in the mood to cook, so he took some dumplings from the refrigerator and cooked them. When the dumplings were on the table, Xu Ziyang walked out of the door. His eyes drifted across the table, "My mother has no appetite, I have something to go out, you...
...Forget it, I'll come back later."
I suddenly slapped my chopsticks on the table, making a crisp sound, and stopped me from walking towards the door. He didn't look back, coughed twice and said: "Qianqian, I don't want to quarrel with you, what's the matter?
Wait until I come back." The voice sounded a little weak, the door was gently closed, and the room returned to silence.
After pausing for two seconds, I picked up the chopsticks again and started eating the dumplings. It didn't take long for the other two plates on the table to get cold. I didn't care. After finishing what I had in my bowl, I ate the rest. I couldn't waste it.
But the end result was that I was so bloated that my stomach hurt, and it felt like even the breath I breathed smelled like dumpling stuffing.
I threw the dishes and chopsticks into the sink with difficulty, and then I leaned on the sofa and put my hands on my stomach to help digestion. Thinking about it, I felt angry and funny. I vented my anger on people, but they didn't abandon me at all. Looking back, I still tormented myself.
The dull pain in my stomach is getting more and more delicate. I can't get hungry, and I can't hold it back. Sooner or later, I will have to linger on my own.
When Xu Ziyang pushed the door open again and came in, I knew it, but I didn't have the strength to open my eyes. It wasn't until a slightly cold hand was placed on my forehead that I opened my eyes a little and looked at the figure in front of me in confusion. He sat down and put his eyes aside.
I pulled myself up from the sofa and leaned in his arms, "Why are you sleeping here?"
This was the first time I had been so close to him since I accepted him moving in. His breath hit my face, smelling of alcohol. From his clear eyes, it could be seen that he was not drunk, but there was a faint trace of alcohol in his eyes.
bloodshot.
Now we get along with each other with a feeling of respect and hospitality.
