Chapter 81: Following him, she won’t lose

Chapter 81: Following him, she won’t lose

Zhu Wendong followed Qi Yanxue into the Lu family residence.

As soon as I arrived at the door, a man named Grandpa Lu, with a dignified face but kind and gentle eyes, walked up to me with a cane and said with a friendly smile.

"This must be Wen Dong, come with grandpa into the house."

Zhu Wendong walked up to Grandpa Lu, took his hand, and followed him into the house, talking and laughing.

Qi Yanxue, who was forgotten for a moment, lowered her eyes to look at her empty but still warm palm, and her left hand still held her bag.

He almost laughed out of anger.

On this side, Zhu Wendong followed Grandpa Lu to visit the Lu residence, and Qi Yanxue followed behind them slowly.

Walking through the backyard filled with hydrangeas of various colors, Grandpa Lu seemed to recall something and said with a stifled laugh, "When he was little, Qi Yanxue didn't like to talk. He always had a stern face. Even after being brought to the Lu family by Guanqi, he still didn't like to talk. He often ran to the backyard to look at the flowers and could spend the whole day looking at them."

Zhu Wendong automatically filled in the picture in his mind. Qi Yanxue must have always looked calm and composed when he was a child.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

Qi Yanxue suddenly came forward from behind and said indifferently, "Mrs. Qi, your husband was just a little brat when he was little. What are you fantasizing about?"

“…”

For a moment, she even suspected that Qi Yanxue had installed a surveillance system in her head.

Having his thoughts guessed, Zhu Wendong pretended not to hear what he said and took two quick steps with Grandpa Lu.

Grandpa Lu pretended not to notice the fight between the couple and continued to talk to her about the next topic.

Qi Yanxue looked at the backs of the old man and the child, lowered his head and curled his lips.

Jiangbei is a place that he really loves and hates.

Those who hate him gave birth to him here, and those who love him make him grow flesh and blood again.

-

At noon, Grandpa Lu invited the two of them to have a meal. The dishes on the table were basically all Zhu Wendong's favorites, as if Qi Yanxue had deliberately asked for it.

After the meal, Zhu Wendong chatted with Grandpa Lu for a while until it was time for Grandpa Lu's regular lunch break.

Qi Yanxue casually said, "Let's go, he wants to take a nap."

Grandpa Lu hit his leg with his cane and said, "Be nice to Wen Dong. If I find out that you're wrong, I'll beat you up."

Turning around, he said to Zhu Wendong, "If he bullies you, tell grandpa and I'll beat him up for you."

Zhu Wendong nodded heavily and wanted to say a few more words when Qi Yanxue forcefully pulled him out.

He waved at Grandpa Lu without even turning his head, "Don't worry, she won't suffer any loss if she follows me."

-

After returning to Biesong, an accident suddenly occurred in the Qi Group. Qi Yanxue just got home, answered a phone call, and went out again.

Now Zhu Wendong is the only one left at home.

Nothing to do, Zhu Wendong went to the study and sat in front of the computer for a while to finish writing today's plot.

It was not until the afternoon when she planned to go for a walk with Donggua. She put on a coat and found something the size of a fingernail in her pocket.

She frowned and took it out, only to find that it was still flashing with a flickering red light. The familiar memories that she had blocked broke through the cage and came flooding in.

Zhu Wendong squeezed it tightly until his nails turned white and he didn't even notice the dents on his fingertips.

She froze in place, her eyes dull and empty for a long time, and her back felt like countless ants were crawling on it, gradually becoming numb.

This is a location tracker.

It also appeared in Zhu Wendong's pocket five years ago.

After a long time, she took a deep breath, waiting for her heartbeat to slowly calm down and her brain to resume thinking.

She held the locator tightly in her palm and then went out to walk the dog as usual.

After walking around the community twice, Zhu Wendong was absent-minded, with a flickering light still on his palms.

Her heart was in her throat, and her eyes kept scanning the surroundings, but her face remained cold and expressionless.

Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder from behind.

Zhu Wendong turned around suddenly and saw the aunt she met last time. She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Little girl, it was A Yan who walked the winter melon yesterday, but today it's you who's walking it."

Zhu Wendong pretended to be indifferent and said, "Yes, Auntie, he is a little busy today."

Auntie smiled and said, "I heard that you and A Yan got married. A Yan was so proud of it that he told everyone in the neighborhood that he got married. Now everyone in the neighborhood knows that you two are married."

Qi Yanxue's carefree and uninhibited face automatically appeared in my mind, and he told everyone about it with a proud look on his face.

Zhu Wendong's lips curled up with a hint of sweetness, and he said frankly: "Well, Qi Yanxue and I went to get the marriage certificate two days ago."

The aunt teased her a few more times before being called away by her family. Before leaving, she sent a message to Ayan saying that she had met his wife. The other party quickly replied, asking where they met.

After the people walked away, Zhu Wendong was about to take Donggua for a walk around the community again. As soon as he turned around, he saw a dark figure in the distance.

His glasses reflected the light, like a bat hiding in the dark, flashing a strange and dark light.

Our eyes met, and he walked towards me.

Donggua seemed to sense danger and shouted at him louder and louder, echoing faintly in the silent night.

Zhu Wendong instinctively took a step back, clutched the locator in his pocket, stopped moving, and stood there looking at him coldly.

Winter melon seemed to understand his master's thoughts. He stopped shouting fiercely and sat upright at her feet, but still stared at the man with a fierce look.

When he approached, Zhu Wendong curled the corners of his lips and said coldly, "How many times do you want to use this method?"

Zhu Linbin said calmly, "Actually, I didn't want to either. It's just that yesterday made me remember you again, and it reminded me of the regrets of five years."

Zhu Wendong snorted coldly, trying hard to suppress his trembling body, and said calmly: "If Zhu Shouwen hadn't used his power to protect you five years ago, and you hadn't threatened me with my mother, you would have been sitting in jail long ago."

Zhu Linbin's meticulous expression relaxed slightly. "Five years ago, I could threaten your mother, and I can do it now. After all, isn't your mother still working at Zhuyuan Hospital?"

He continued slowly, "And Zhu Shouwen asked you to return to China to fill the 50 million yuan gap. Wasn't it your mother who forced you to return?"

"To put it bluntly, Zhu Shouwen doesn't really like your mother. What he cares about most is his own little bit of profit."

Zhu Wendong bit his lip tightly, "So you're not going to let me go now?"

"Five years ago, I was inexperienced and couldn't compete with the powerful Zhu family. Now, I will personally send you to prison and make you complete the punishment you didn't receive five years ago."

Zhu Wendong spoke each word very slowly, as if he was carrying a heavy burden from five years ago and could hardly move forward.

Zhu Linbin didn't take her threat seriously at all and reached out to grab her wrist.

Zhu Wendong was tense and dodged his move to the side. Zhu Linbin approached her step by step, and the disgusting smell on his body was getting closer and closer.

Zhu Wendong didn't have time to think and turned around to run, but Zhu Linbin grabbed her shoulders and pinched her with his nails.

The disparity in strength between men and women made it impossible for Zhu Wendong to break free.

Familiar memories flooded her mind, as if countless ants were gnawing at her tattered memories bit by bit.

At this moment, another figure appeared in my peripheral vision.

What followed was the familiar scent of cedar, as if it was standing on the top of an abyss and pulling her back.
