Chapter 228 Don’t you want to break up with her?
The air temperature around him instantly dropped to minus 40 degrees Celsius. His tall figure stood there like an ice tree, and ice chips fell down with the slightest shake.
The wife who just spoke looked embarrassed: "I just said it casually, don't you want to break up with her?"
He Tingzhou said in a cold voice: "How come I didn't know that you wanted to break up? I told you when I was sleepwalking at night?"
"Then you don't even see her, of course others will think so, you were reluctant to treat her like this before."
Shuang Xu vaguely heard something. Why did it sound like someone was speaking for her?
He Tingzhou said expressionlessly: "Go back and tell the two ladies upstairs who were peeping to stop playing these tricks on me."
Several ladies hurriedly left upon seeing this. Shuang Xu raised her head and saw He Wenjing and Lu Manman's heads quickly retreating from the second floor, and they even bumped into each other because they had no tacit understanding.
Many gossipy eyes were cast towards the two of them.
Shuang Xu raised her eyes to look at He Tingzhou. He wondered how cold her eyes were, and the line on her lips made people feel cold.
If he left her now, the breakup rumors would be confirmed.
Silence continued between the two of them for a while, and Shuang Xu asked him, "Where is your dance partner?"
He Tingzhou said quietly, "Aren't you just waiting here for me?"
“…”
The He family members are really more cunning than each other, and they deceive both sides.
He Tingzhou held her waist and walked into the dance floor. The music changed to a slow-paced piano piece, and the lights dimmed, making the light and shadow dim and ambiguous.
"Where have you slept these days?" Shuang Xu asked.
He Tingzhou said calmly, as if she owed him eight million: "On Earth."
"...Did you sleep well?" she asked again.
I don’t know where he slept. Without her to accompany him, and the dog was left to her, he would probably suffer from insomnia again.
"Do you care whether I sleep well or not?"
"Why don't I care?" Shuang Xu hadn't slept well these past few days. "Don't you want to see me? You don't even want to go home?"
"If I don't go back, can't you come find me?"
He is totally unreasonable.
"Didn't I come to you? Would you see me?"
"Only three times." He Tingzhou said, "On average, 0.6 times a day. Am I worth that much in your heart?"
"So what do you want from me? I've called you so many times, sent you so many messages, waited for you at your house every day with a thick face, and was turned away when I went to your company. Do you really think I have no self-esteem?"
The grievances that had been suppressed for several days suddenly came out. "What do you want me to do? Did you tell me? I want to solve the problem with you, but did you give me a chance? I've been so warm and hardworking every day, but you still think that I haven't been humiliated enough and that I'm not sincere enough. Why do you treat me like this?"
She became angrier as she spoke, and tears began to fall without any warning, in round, crystal clear drops that rolled down from her eyelashes.
He Tingzhou's cold attitude was like a balloon with a hole in it, disappearing quickly and silently.
He stopped, held her face, and wiped away the tears on her face with his fingertips: "You are not just trying to please me, you are slapping me in the face. I didn't even cry, why are you crying? I gave you a chance, and you chose your brother, so why did you come back to me after giving up on me?"
"How could I give up on you?" Shuang Xu's tears fell even more fiercely, "Don't you know how much I love you?"
He Tingzhou's fingertips were wet with her tears, and he couldn't wipe them away, so he simply lowered his head and kissed away the moisture from the corners of her eyes.
He Wenjing, who was hiding on the second floor and watching, asked quietly: "They kissed each other, so they've made up, right?"
"Xiaojiu seems to be crying." Lu Manman's naked eye vision of 5.2 played an important role at this time. "Don't worry, don't worry. If she cries, my cousin will definitely surrender immediately."
The ladies were chattering nearby:
"Just make peace!"
"You must explain to them later that we didn't mean what we said just now. Don't let her hate us. We dare not offend your nephew."
"That's right, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't do such an offensive thing."
He Wenjing smiled broadly: "You have worked so hard today. It will be a great achievement for you if they can reconcile!"
As if to give them some space, other guests stayed far away.
The kiss on Shuang Xu's eyes was gentle, and He Tingzhou's voice was also gentle: "I know. But on your scale, I can't compare to your brother's weight, right?"
"On He Xingwei's scale, my mother and I are no match for national justice. On your scale, I am inferior to Shen Yu. I have never won once in my life."
The heat in Shuang Xu's eyes that had just calmed down surged back again: "Don't say that. I didn't put you on the scale to compare. You and my brother are different components of my life. Neither is lighter nor heavier. You can't force me to give up one, just like you can't make me choose between my eyes and my nose."
He Tingzhou looked deep into her eyes and asked, "What if you have to give up?"
Everything in this world has different weights and sizes, whether it is tangible objects or intangible emotions, when the time comes to give up something, one of them must be abandoned.
Can you say that He Xiwei doesn't love them?
Between eyes and nose, there is one that cannot be lost.
Shuang Xu felt a sense of powerlessness spreading up from under her feet, trying to disintegrate the ground she was standing on.
"So what do you want from me, He Tingzhou? Do you want me to abandon my brother and be with you?"
"Half of the me you love was created by my brother. If you say you love me, you can't just love the other half of me."
"I know you're jealous of my brother, so I give in to you in many things. You can force me not to drink coffee for the rest of my life, you can deliberately damage my car, you can ask Wansui to hide all the gifts my brother gave me in the doghouse, but you can't ask me to give up a relative for you."
"I'll cut myself in half. Is this the me you want?"
This seemed to have become an unbridgeable gap between them.
Shuang Xu said: "I will not choose between you and my brother, not now and never. If you must force me to choose, then we will..."
He Tingzhou's eyes were deep: "Just what?"
There was a thorn stuck in her throat. She paused, still reluctant to say those two words: "Let's calm down for a while."
She lowered her head to wipe the tears from her face and tidied herself up: "You won't be able to sleep well outside, go back to Taiheyuan, that's your home. I'm going back to Songming Road."
After she finished speaking, she looked at He Tingzhou again, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the chin: "I love you."
After saying this, he walked past He Tingzhou and walked out.
The women on the second floor who were celebrating with laughter were stunned. He Wenjing was shocked: "Didn't they make peace? Why are they leaving again?!"
Lu Manman quickly took out her phone and said, "Let me ask about the situation."
When Shuangxu got on the bus, he saw Lu Manman's message: [You're going to the bathroom, right? ]
Shuangxu replied to her: [Please thank Aunt He for her kindness on my behalf]
