Chapter 158 It’s so hard
"Yes, we are going back soon. You don't have to have any other thoughts. I will take care of you." In this matter, Chen Zhuyi didn't mind taking responsibility for everything.
"A girl's life isn't just about getting married. I believe as long as you don't waste your time on unworthy things, you can live a better life than many others. You've always had the ability to do this, haven't you?"
It was precisely because he knew her concerns that Chen Zhuyi deliberately said these words.
But it was obvious that her words had caused Shen Wantang to misunderstand a little, and there was a hint of resentment in her angry eyes.
However, he suppressed it out of some concern.
Faced with those flashing emotions, Chen Zhuyi didn't think there was anything else to say.
She has tried her best to treat Chen Wantang sincerely. If she still insists on going down this path to the end, Chen Zhuyi will have no choice.
The train quickly brought them back home. Since no one had collected any information, they had to walk on their own.
Fortunately, Shen Zhuyi and the others lived in the town, so they didn't have to pack many things. Although they were in a hurry, they were not in a mess.
The sky was completely dark at this moment, gloomy and inexplicably frightened.
Shen Wantang swallowed her saliva, not knowing where she could go. She didn't want to go to Zhao Anche's house yet.
"Let's go to the guesthouse tonight and spend the night. I'll take you back tomorrow." Chen Zhuyi didn't care too much and was willing to pay her money to let her live with him temporarily.
After all, we are sisters in name only, so we should at least consider each other's feelings.
However, before she could enter the guesthouse, she saw Aunt Wang on the street who had not yet returned home.
I don’t know what she is busy with. It’s so late and she doesn’t want to go back.
When she saw Chen Zhuyi, Aunt Wang rubbed her eyes in confusion, then went over and grabbed Chen Zhuyi's hand in disbelief: "Girl, your uncle Wang and I thought you wouldn't come back. Did you suffer any injustice over there?"
"I haven't suffered any injustice. I came back this time... just to ask you to take a look." A trace of shyness flashed across Chen Zhuyi's face. He coughed quickly and pushed Huo Jinzhi, a little hastily.
The gifts were all stuffed in the suitcase. Chen Zhuyi never expected it to be such a coincidence that he would see an acquaintance as soon as he arrived!
"I'm glad you're not wronged. It's getting late. Don't waste your money outside. Come home with me and rest." Aunt Wang said, pulling Chen Zhuyi's hand and wanting to take her home.
Huo Jinzhi couldn't help but feel a little surprised by this quick and decisive performance, but at the same time, he felt a little soft in his heart.
At least, where he couldn't see, Chen Zhuyi lived well and didn't suffer too much grievance.
Chen Wantang lowered his head in fear, wishing he could turn himself into a transparent person and not get involved in these grudges.
"Aunt Wang, we should stay in the guesthouse first so that we can tidy up. This is the first time for the ugly daughter-in-law to meet her parents-in-law. Don't you want her to dress up well?" Chen Zhu said, winking at Huo Jinzhi, indicating that he should express his opinion as well.
If they really went back with them, it would be inconvenient for them to do many things. Besides meeting his parents, Chen Zhuyi also had other things he wanted to do.
Aunt Wang just kept laughing as she listened to Chen Zhuyi's words, and tapped her nose lightly in an intimate manner.
Although they are not biological mother and daughter, they are no different from a family.
"You are just a girl who talks nonsense. Fortunately, he has a good character and doesn't blame you too much." Aunt Wang said helplessly, but a warning flashed in her eyes and she glanced at Huo Jinzhi.
In the end, she didn't insist on pestering him any further. She just shook her head at Chen Zhu and asked her to come to her house on her own initiative tomorrow. Then she left reluctantly.
"It's so late, and she's still outside. Is there something important?" Huo Jinzhi narrowed his eyes and asked directly, with a hint of doubt in his words.
A hint of confusion flashed across Chen Wantang's eyes: "Are you planning to do something speculative?"
Even though the situation is a little more open now and many people can go out and buy and sell things freely, the people in power are still very strict about this matter.
What's more, Aunt Wang's identity is very special. She is the wife of the deputy director of the steel plant. If she really engages in such speculation, the nature of her behavior will be much worse!
"Do you have any definite evidence? Stop talking nonsense!" Chen Zhu interrupted Shen Wantang directly and stopped her unfounded speculation.
Even if there is definite evidence for this matter, Chen Zhuyi will find a way to suppress it.
However, based on his understanding of Uncle Wang's family, they would never do such a thing even if they died of poverty.
What's more, they haven't fallen to this point yet!
"I just said it casually. Otherwise, who would go to bed in the middle of the night?" Shen Wantang snorted and said it bluntly, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.
After being glared at by Chen Zhu, she lowered her head and left.
After the three of them tossed and turned for a while, they went back to their rooms and fell asleep. Chen Zhuyi tossed and turned in bed, feeling a little irritated.
Early the next morning, she walked out with huge dark circles under her eyes.
Huo Jinzhi was slightly startled by her expression, but then he revealed a hint of understanding. He shook his head helplessly at her and said, "If you trust your relatives, you shouldn't be so worried."
"I'm just worried that some rumors will affect them. They are a very nice family, and isn't reputation the most important thing right now?" Chen Zhu lowered his voice and glanced at Chen Wantang's room again.
With her understanding of Shen Wantang, she would spare no effort whenever she had the chance to step on them.
Even though she looks a little more normal now, it doesn't mean she is completely relieved.
At this moment, who knows what bad ideas he might be harboring in his mind.
"Nothing will get out, don't worry." Huo Jinzhi patted Chen Zhuyi's shoulder with a firm tone. The two of them didn't say anything more, but quickly packed up their things and went to Aunt Wang's house together.
Not long after they left, Chen Wantang slowly walked out, her eyes deep. Her fingers were clenched into fists. She struggled for a long time before sighing, turning and walking towards another road.
There were many faces here that Chen Zhuyi didn't recognize. Zhao Anche looked like a homeless man, and his behavior was a bit embarrassed, but he saw Chen Zhuyi at a glance.
"Yiyi, where have you been all this time? I've been searching for you so hard!"
