Zou Shigang wiped some water on his face, and carried Zou Hong, who was carrying a duck swimming ring, to the nanny standing at the edge of the swimming pool. He said to Zou Lan: "Lan Lan, mom and dad have something to say. You can take your younger brothers and sisters there."
Would you like to read a book?"
Zou Lan didn't say anything, threw the photo away, and coaxed Zou Kai, who was splashing happily in the water, back to the house.
Zou Shigang stared at Zhao Mei indifferently, with a hint of anger in his tone: "Why are you saying this in front of the children? How do you want them to see me?"
"You did such a thing, do you still want me to save face for you in front of the children? I should let them realize what a sanctimonious hypocrite their father is!" Zhao Mei was so angry that her body was shaking.
Zou Shigang looked at Zhao Mei's ugly face and hated her even more. He couldn't help but miss Fang Xiaojing's gentleness and virtuousness. If it weren't for the purpose of clinging to the wealthy Zhao family, he, who was handsome and young and promising, would not have treated this arrogant Zhao Da.
The young lady pursued her relentlessly. In Zou Shigang's eyes, this Zhao Mei had a fierce personality and was lazy. When she was young, she was content to chew on her old age. After marrying him, she would just stay at home and enjoy leisure. If she didn't take care of her three children, she would be afraid of divorce.
There were rumors after they got married, and Zou Shigang would never tolerate her to this day.
He climbed out of the swimming pool, wiped his wet hair with a towel, and suppressed his boredom with Zhao Mei and said: "Can you stop making trouble? You live in a big mansion and you don't have to do anything to have a big life."
With the money in your wallet and no worries at all, can't you be content?"
"You still want me to be content? Do you think I should turn a blind eye to your shameless behavior? Do you think I should endure the existence of that bitch and that bastard?"
"Why do you speak so harshly? Look at how you look now. How is it different from a shrew?" Zou Shigang threw the towel away and stared at her impatiently.
"You did such a shameful thing, and you still dare to call me a bitch?" Zhao Mei was shaking with anger, crying and scolding, and angrily slapped Zou Shigang on the shoulder with a towel. The towel soaked in water was very heavy and dropped.
It really hurt. Zou Shigang scolded her "crazy woman" a few times. He didn't want to tangle with her anymore, so he hid and ran along the edge of the swimming pool.
Under Zhao Mei's pursuit, Zou Shigang slipped and lost his balance, kneeling directly on the ground. He felt his knees hurt, so he stood up and pushed Zhao Mei angrily. Zhao Mei fell in unpreparedly.
In the swimming pool, she choked several times. She couldn't swim, so she stretched out her hands in fear and shouted: "Hurry up and help me!"
"What are you yelling about? The water is only one meter three meters deep, and several children can't drown." However, when Zou Shigang looked back, he realized that the area Zhao Mei was in was in the deep end of the swimming pool, and the water was three meters deep. People like her could
People who can't swim can't climb up on their own.
Zhao Mei struggled hard, but now she couldn't even scream for help, and the water went over her head again and again. Zou Shigang looked at Zhao Mei, who was flexing her teeth and claws in the water, and felt that she was like a piece of fat floating up and down.
He was about to jump out of the swimming pool and hesitated for a while. His legs seemed to be pulled by a strange force, forcing him to step back step by step. He picked up the lifebuoy on the ground and threw it into the deep water. He said without any emotion: "Go."
Grab that lifebuoy, I don't have the strength to bring you up."
Zou Shigang looked at Zhao Mei, who had no time to shout and could only struggle helplessly. He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. He turned around and left with heavy steps, covering his ears with wet hands, not wanting to hear the sound coming from behind.
.
The nanny met Zou Shigang in the corridor who had already changed his clothes. Seeing his sullen face, she guessed that he might have had an argument with the hostess again, so she didn't dare to ask more questions. She just said respectfully: "The meal is ready.
The young master and the ladies have already gone to the restaurant, do you want to go there now?"
"No, I have no appetite." Zou Shigang, who was about to go out, paused for a while, then turned back and said, "Forget it, I'd better eat with the children."
"Then I'll call my wife."
"No need!" Zou Shigang quickly stopped, "She is in a mood right now, and she is probably not in the mood to eat. Let her calm down alone for a while. By the way, did you make sweet and sour pork ribs today?"
The nanny was stunned for a moment and said, "No, do you want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs?"
"Oh, it's not me, it's Zhao Mei. You can prepare it later. She said yesterday that she wanted to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs you made. Anyway, she won't be able to eat for a while, so you can just cook it slowly.
." Zou Shigang told lies without changing his expression.
"Okay, I'll prepare it later." The nanny returned to the kitchen in confusion. First she was puzzled that Zou Shigang would consider thoughtfully what Zhao Mei wanted to eat, and then she wondered why his wife suddenly changed her taste. She never liked sour food.
Something sweet.
Zou Shigang sat in the dining room and ate the food carefully prepared by his nanny, but found it tasted like nothing. He could not sit still and watched Zou Kai and Zou Hong compete in eating flower rolls, and made a forced smile.
Zou Lan raised her head and asked him: "Why doesn't mom come over?"
Zou Shigang looked at his eldest daughter. The child's eyes seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, leaving him without the courage to lie.
Zou Kai and Zou Hong also realized that their mother was really dragging her feet today, with the flower rolls in her mouth that had not yet been swallowed, and they asked vaguely: "Where is mom? Where is mom?"
Zou Shigang was sitting on pins and needles, staring at the food in front of him without saying a word. After Zou Hong shook his arm several times, he hesitated and said: "Maybe, maybe he went to bed. Mom is not in a good mood today. Don't disturb him.
." When he said these words, he never dared to look into Zou Lan's eyes, feeling extremely tormented in his heart. He regretted it. After all, the woman who was struggling in front of him just now was the mother of his three children. If she was really dead,
, how should he face the children?
Zou Lan said: "I'm going to find her. It will be uncomfortable if I don't eat."
Zou Shigang looked at his eldest daughter who was walking out of the restaurant with a bowl of porridge, and quickly followed him. He opened his mouth, but never said anything to stop him. Zou Lan went to the master bedroom first, and knocked on the door twice but got no response.
, he opened the door and walked in. Zou Shigang wished so much that Zhao Mei was in the bedroom at this moment. She might be wiping her hair or changing clothes. When she saw him coming in, she would even pounce on him or even yell. For the first time, he wanted to hear Zhao Mei's sharp voice.
I wanted to see that aging face. But no, there was no one in the bedroom.
"Mom isn't here, is she still over there at the swimming pool?" Zou Lan turned around and asked him.
No one knew better than Zou Shigang where Zhao Mei would be at this moment, but he didn't know how to answer. He was so nervous that his heartbeat seemed to skip a beat, and his palms were covered in cold sweat.
Zou Lan ran to the swimming pool in the backyard with the bowl in hand. She looked around and found no sign of her mother. After searching carefully, she saw a lifebuoy floating in the swimming pool, which could be vaguely seen in the deep water not far away.
