Gu Xingze was given a severe scolding by the doctor, and he obediently used his crutches to walk.
Back home.
He called out left and right but couldn't see anyone. He opened WeChat to ask Su Jin what she wanted to eat, and saw a long string of "sister-in-law literature" that Yan Youhe had sent him.
Gu Xingze's eyes flashed with anger, and his fingertips turned white from gripping the pressure.
He really found a good sister.
He immediately called Su Jin.
The phone rang twice. When she answered, her indifferent voice came through, "Hello, what's up?"
Gu Xingze tried his best to suppress his anger and make his voice sound calm, "Wife, I'm home. Where are you? What do you want to eat tonight?"
It's okay, it's okay. Yan Youhe always likes to ramble on and on. Those words were just something she found online. It's nothing serious.
He kept reassuring himself with this thought.
Su Jin was about to answer, "Oh, I..."
"Sister... I'm not good at drinking, and I feel really dizzy..."
Gu Xingze's head throbbed, and he lost his balance, collapsing to his knees with a thud. He felt as if a gaping hole had been torn in his heart, with cold air rushing in.
Su Jin looked at the male model with a puzzled expression, "I don't think I asked you to drink, did I?"
Gu Xingze's voice came through the phone again, but this time he was no longer trying to appear calm.
"Where are you, Su Jin...? Who's next to you?"
Su Jin took a sip of juice and recalled the shop name she had seen when she first came in, "It's in a place called Shenghong."
"Okay, stay there and don't move, I'll come get you."
Su Jin frowned in disgust. She actually disliked Gu Xingze's occasional tone of voice, which sounded like he was talking to a child. She was an adult.
"Did he make the call?" Yan Youhe asked, swirling her wine glass.
"Um."
Yan Youhe scoffed. He couldn't even handle being provoked a little. What a petty person.
"Oh, poor sister-in-law, he's so petty."
...
When Gu Xingze arrived, he saw some slut who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere pressing herself against his wife.
He shouted, "Get out of the way!"
The little boy trembled and took a few steps back.
Gu Xingze didn't use crutches; he felt it wasn't imposing enough and made him appear shorter in front of others.
He looked at the little boy's pretentious manner with undisguised contempt in his eyes.
He pulled a wad of bright red money from his pocket and threw it at the boy's delicate face.
He said coldly, "If you're going to sell yourself, then sell yourself. Don't seduce other people's wives. Take the money and don't show your face in front of me and her again, or I'll beat you every time I see you."
Dozens of bills fluttered down to the ground, and Su Jin stared in disbelief.
I had an urge to squat down and pick it up.
A small red mark appeared on the little boy's face from being scratched by the banknote. His eyes were red as he looked at Su Jin, "Sister, will you come again...?"
Gu Xingze sneered a few times, "A prostitute like you really thinks she's the only one? My wife is just playing around with you. She has a family. No matter how much she messes around, she'll still come home, understand?"
After saying that, he pulled the reluctant Su Jin away.
Gu Xingze caught her turning around several times, and his eyes gradually welled up with tears.
"...Do you really like that little gadget that much?"
"ah?"
Su Jin pondered for a moment, then said, "Hmm, I don't think anyone would dislike it, right?"
Upon hearing her answer, Gu Xingze felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe. He struggled to catch his breath, trying to gain a sliver of life from this suffocating feeling.
Su Jin saw him suddenly stop and asked, "What are you doing?"
Yan Youhe followed at a leisurely pace, glancing at Gu Xingze, "He's really got a public-spirited addiction..."
That's a really spot-on critique.
Upon reaching the gate, Su Jin hurriedly put on sunglasses and a mask, and with lightning speed, shoved Gu Xingze and Yan Youhe into the car.
After taking Yan Youhe home, she hugged Su Jin and kissed her cheek as a parting gift.
"Sister-in-law, let me know when you've made up your mind."
Su Jin hugged her back.
On the way back, Gu Xingze didn't say a word, which was unusual for him. He leaned against the passenger seat and pretended to doze off.
Those furrowed brows clearly showed he wasn't asleep.
When they got off the bus, Su Jin reached out to him for support, but Gu Xingze slightly avoided her hand.
A man struggled to get off the bus, his expression dark and lifeless in the night.
Su Jin withdrew her hand and went inside, only then belatedly realizing that he might be angry.
But why?
Unable to figure it out, she asked directly.
Are you angry?
Gu Xingze slowly turned around. "Mm."
Su Jin leaned back on the sofa and shrugged, "Why?"
Sometimes she really couldn't understand Gu Xingze, why he was sad, why he was angry...
But most of the time, she is unaware of his emotions, and she even ignores her own.
Just like her marriage, she lived it in a daze.
Gu Xingze twitched the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to laugh, but he was too sad and failed.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Why am I angry? Su Jin, I'm not that magnanimous. I really can't accept that my wife's heart belongs to someone else..."
He finally gave in, and tears streamed down his face.
Su Jin changed her position and continued to lean against the sofa.
"Was it that boy? But I don't even know his name, and they all touched me, but I didn't. It was that boy who came up to me on his own."
Gu Xingze looked up, asking incredulously, "Is it true...?"
Su Jin got up and prepared to go upstairs. "Believe it or not, if being with me makes you feel miserable, then let's break up."
It's time to end this relationship that was wrong from the start.
Gu Xingze followed after him with trepidation, apologizing repeatedly, "No, I was wrong, I shouldn't have acted like that, please don't say that, we won't break up."
Su Jin stopped in her tracks, unable to bear it any longer. "If I really let you divide it, you won't be happy. You're making a scene. What are you doing?"
Seeing that he was about to say something more, Su Jin interrupted him, "Alright, alright, I'm going to rest now. I have to go to work tomorrow."
"Okay, goodnight..."
...
The third episode of Our Life has begun filming.
Director Yan dropped a bombshell right from the start, "Teacher Su, I heard someone saw you at a male model club yesterday, is that true?"
Su Jin couldn't contain her expression. It was all Gu Xingze's fault for causing such a commotion yesterday; no wonder he was seen.
Lin Shi questioned loudly, "Didn't you say that if you had a bite of meat, I would have a sip of soup? Why didn't you take me with you?"
Su Jin argued, "I went to discuss business with a friend, I didn't order anything."
"And... next time you see me, don't recognize me, okay? Okay."
[It can't be the same story that broke yesterday about Su Jin picking up male models and President Gu beating up his mistress.]
[It's said they didn't physically assault him, but merely humiliated him by throwing money at him.]
You call this humiliation? Why don't you send someone to humiliate me instead?
