Seeing Huang Wenying losing control of her emotions, Zhang Haidong could only hold her gently and pat her shoulders constantly.
He also thought of his parents, but it was a pity that he had a home and could not return.
At the moment, I had mixed emotions, with ups and downs, sweetness, bitterness, and sourness all flooding into my heart.
After a long time, Huang Wenying seemed to be tired of crying, and her voice finally became quieter, leaving only a slight sob.
Zhang Haidong saw that her mood was almost stable, and then he said softly: "Okay, don't be too sad. When will you go home? Just go back and pick up Auntie."
"The flight will take off at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and then transfer to the high-speed rail." Huang Wenying nodded even more.
"That's okay. When the time comes, I will bring my aunt here, and you will be by your side to take care of her. Once the old man is in a good mood, his condition will naturally be lighter." Zhang Haidong could only comfort her like this.
At this time, Huang Wenying suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhang Haidong with tears in her eyes: "My parents have been very happy all their lives. But now they are always worried about my marriage. After all, that was my father's last wish before he left.
.Actually, I don’t want to disappoint my mother when I go back this time. Haidong, can you do me a favor and pretend to be my boyfriend..."
this……
I thought it would be enough to comfort her, but who knew that Huang Wenying actually made such a request.
Zhang Haidong was in trouble for a while.
Men should have their own bottom line. How can you be someone else's fake boyfriend when you have a wife and daughter at home?
Think about it carefully, if Du Jing offered to be someone else's fake girlfriend, would you agree?
Can you bear it?
Gratitude is kindness, but there are certain bottom lines that must not be touched!
Thinking of this, Zhang Haidong took a deep breath and said tactfully: "I also know that this is what Auntie is thinking about, and you are very filial. But I really can't do anything about this matter. If it gets to my wife's ears, I'm afraid it will be due to my family background.
It’ll be gone in minutes.”
Zhang Haidong clenched his fists tightly, his palms filled with nervous sweat.
I can't agree, otherwise, where will my wife and lovely daughter be put?
Hearing his answer, Huang Wenying's eyes dimmed for a moment, and she seemed to know that her request was a bit excessive. But then she said: "Haidong, can you stay with me tonight?"
Zhang Haidong was choked again.
This request is more excessive than the previous one.
Being alone in a room all night, even Liu Xiahui would probably have trouble controlling herself. What's more, she almost lost her mind just now. If she hadn't calmed down in time, she would have made a big mistake long ago.
If I spend the night here tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to see Du Jing and her daughter again for the rest of my life.
His sense of family responsibility keeps his rationality at the upper hand, and he ignores all unintentional hints.
Ten seconds later, Zhang Haidong said: "My wife is still at home waiting for me to come back. She is very worried about me. The Lighting Group is also very tired recently. I can't let her be so tired every day and have to get up early to cook and serve people. So I can't
Stay the night with you. But I can stay with you for another hour or two..."
Rejected again.
Huang Wenying raised her head and looked at Zhang Haidong, her eyes filled with all sorts of emotions.
Pain, confusion, confusion...
After a long time, she finally lowered her head: "I understand. I'm sorry to embarrass you."
Zhang Haidong also felt a little guilty. She really helped him a lot, but he really couldn't meet these demands.
At that moment, he comforted her softly: "When you go back, you can take your aunt over with peace of mind and live in Jinmen. The medical conditions here are good. As for marriage, with your excellent conditions, it will be easy for you to find a good husband."
When the time comes, everyone will help introduce you and choose one carefully. Wouldn’t it be the happiest thing to let aunty watch your love grow in person?"
Huang Wenying burst into tears when she heard this.
She leaned into Zhang Haidong's arms again.
After a long time, he wiped the tears on his face and said, "Yes, I understand."
It wasn't until midnight that I felt that I had calmed Huang Wenying's mood for a while, and then I walked out.
The night is a bit cold.
It was as if a pair of ruthless hands had blocked the sky, making the brilliant stars and moon shine in the past disappear. Only the scattered lights in the tall buildings were left, making the whole street look even more bleak.
Zhang Haidong rubbed his hands vigorously.
It was a big mistake not to bring a pair of gloves before going out. If I were to ride home, I would probably freeze to death.
"It would be great if a glove seller would open the door here." Zhang Haidong looked at the dim street lights in the distance and muttered softly.
…
The coldness and numbness made Zhang Haidong forget how long he had been riding. He was shivering with cold, and when he could no longer hold on, he finally returned to the small yard where he rented.
I opened the door gently and saw that the clock on the wall read half past one in the morning.
It took a full hour and a half of riding to get home!
My daughter was sleeping sweetly on the bed. The food she left for Du Jing on the table seemed to be untouched. There was also a food bag next to it, which seemed to contain some food.
Not even the chairs on the floor moved.
Is Du Jing too tired and hasn’t eaten?
Zhang Haidong tiptoed open the bedroom door, only to see the lights on in the room, and Du Jing's face was full of tears.
What's wrong with her?
Who bullied her?
Could it be that she cried like this because she went to comfort Huang Wenying?
I just told her in advance because I was afraid that she would think too much...
Zhang Haidong gently took out a tissue and wanted to help Du Jing wipe away the tears on her face.
With a "pop" sound, his hand was opened.
Du Jing opened her red eyes.
She didn't fall asleep.
"Honey, I'm sorry. I made you worry." Zhang Haidong apologized directly without thinking.
No matter who you are in a marriage, if you know that your spouse has stayed in a home of the opposite sex until now, it is absolutely intolerable.
"Is there any use in apologizing? Why didn't you stay with that woman? It's already two o'clock in the evening. I won't find out if I come back early tomorrow morning." Du Jing said coldly.
Zhang Haidong's chest was still wet, and there was a strong smell of woman's perfume floating around his body.
How could she not be angry!
Is it possible that Zhang Haidong is a sticky mouse? As long as those women touch Zhang Haidong, they will be stuck to him and they will be unable to leave?
I always smell of perfume. Have you ever thought about your wife and children?
The cold voice refreshed Zhang Haidong's spirits.
He understood Du Jing's anger.
If Du Jing said that she stayed at a male colleague's house to persuade him and came back so late in the morning, she would never believe it.
Something happened suddenly today and I don't know how to explain it.
"It's not...my wife..." Zhang Haidong hurriedly tried to explain: "Manager Huang has helped me so much. Her father has passed away a long time ago, and her mother is now terminally ill and will go home tomorrow. She doesn't have any good friends in Jinmen.
With my friend, a girl panicked, so she came to me to comfort me for a while..."
"Her mother is terminally ill, so she wants you to accompany her?" Du Jing felt angry and funny: "Zhang Haidong, do you think I am a fool or you? Your mother is terminally ill, shouldn't you go home in a hurry? What,
Find a man to accompany you for a while before going home? Men are more important than mothers?"
"Also, she has been in Jinmen for so many years. She has climbed all the way to the position of manager. Do you think she is so lonely in this city? It is difficult to find anyone to talk to?"
As soon as Du Jing said these words.
Zhang Haidong finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
That's right, Huang Wenying has gone from an ordinary person to a managerial level all the way. How come there is no one who can speak to her?
This is impossible!
Could it be that she wanted to go there with him?
At this moment, lightning flashed in my mind, and I thought of those words that hinted at me.
I didn’t pay attention just now! I didn’t pay attention!
Zhang Haidong regretted it for a moment. He just felt that Huang Wenying was too lonely and pitiful, so he didn't have the heart to reject her. But looking back now, he saw that it was not as simple as ordinary comfort at all!
It’s a pity that I still have the brains I had when I was eighteen!
It’s too simple to think!
Now being questioned by Du Jing like this, how should I explain it?
Nervousness and numbness assaulted his mind, causing him to lose his original logic.
In desperation, he could only promise in confusion: "I really have nothing to do with her. You still don't understand me? I only have you and my daughter in my heart. I have never thought about anyone else..."
"Never thought about anyone else?"
Hearing this, Du Jing sneered even more angrily: "It's okay for you to use this to deceive those little girls who have no experience in the world. Do you think I will believe you? Your daughter was discharged from the hospital today, have you
Have you ever thought that your daughter still needs care? Have you ever thought that you still have a wife waiting for you at home?"
After a series of fierce rhetorical questions, Du Jing nodded with a smile to herself: "Yes, Zhang Haidong. No matter what important things you have at home, they can't compare to the debauchery you enjoy outside. The three-thirds of an acre of land at home is enough for cultivation.
, you always have to go outside to help cultivate the land. The ancients said it makes sense, house flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers. Right?"
"You have really changed. I thought you loved this family more. But I didn't expect that a dog can't change its habit of eating shit. The old habit from four years ago happened again! But this time you changed your tricks, Zhang Haidong, you
You are not as arrogant as before, you know how to use your theories to cover yourself up..."
As Du Jing spoke, she kept shaking her head, with tears already streaming down her face.
four years ago?
Hearing these words, Zhang Haidong's whole body felt as if he was struck by lightning and was hit hard!
That's Du Jing's wound!
It’s a dark history that I can never erase!
"Wife...I..." Zhang Haidong lowered his head subconsciously.
"Get out of here! Go outside and sleep on the sofa!" Du Jing angrily threw Zhang Haidong's quilt and pillow over.
Zhang Haidong withdrew calmly, placed the pillow on the sofa, and then firmly covered him with the quilt.
He rubbed his temples painfully and sighed softly.
I still thought it was too simple.
I always deal with things according to the thoughts and methods of an eighteen-year-old. I naively believe that no matter what I do, admitting my mistakes and explaining can settle everything.
But now is not the world of the eighteen-year-old, nor is it the pure and graceful boy who chases the wind.
