Chapter 52: Either Separate or Bring Back the Token
"Come to see you."
Zhu Youcai's tone softened. After all, he had betrayed her in their previous marriage! Rich young men often had maids and concubines. It was just a common occurrence, and she happened to see it.
Chang Xixi was so sick of the overnight meal that she almost vomited. Haha, it was unbelievable that he could say such a thing.
Her smile was creepy, and the tea drinkers in the teahouse also looked at her in horror. They had never seen Chang Xixi behave so unbelievably, and they all stretched their necks to look over here.
"Just go away! I don't want to make a big deal out of this."
Suddenly, Chang Xixi's tone was indifferent, and when she looked at Zhou Youcai again, the heartbroken look in her eyes was gone, instead, she was relieved! There was also a kind of thoroughness that saw through the world, as if she wanted to see through Zhu Youcai, which made people shudder.
Zhu Youcai was also frightened by this look. He took a step back and whispered, "You, you are not Xixi? Who are you?"
With just one glance, Zhu Youcai felt that the person in front of him was very different from the woman who had come to the mansion to find her before. First of all, in terms of personality, and the other was the cruel look in her eyes. How could a woman be so cruel!
He unconsciously took a step back and looked at Chang Xixi as if he had seen a ghost.
Chang Xixi held her stomach and laughed. After she finished laughing, she raised her eyes to look at Zhu Youcai's shocked face, put away her sharp gaze, and pretended to be pitiful. "Zhu Youcai, although we were engaged, we didn't end up together. I think it's my regret. But you can't come here to belittle me because of this."
"I don't."
"No? What does your contemptuous look mean? It means nothing!"
"I……"
Zhu Youcai was directly forced back by Chang Xixi's words. Horrible, this woman is really too terrifying. Where can there be such a person?
No, impossible!
This is absolutely impossible, how could she be someone else? The only thing I can think of is that she was pretending before, and now this is her true self.
Chang Xixi continued, pressing harder and harder, "Zhu Youcai, please go! I don't want to see you again in this life. Now I am someone else's wife. No matter how much you beg me, no matter how much you love me, it is impossible in this life. If there is an afterlife, we will be husband and wife again."
Everyone then realized that Zhu Youcai wanted to return to his ex.
I see!
They all laughed, but in just a few days they had seen all the sadness in the world.
The former thought that the family had a money-making tool and wanted to marry Gu Rongyu, while the latter also thought that Chang Xixi was a person of character and wanted to marry her again! It was a pity that the two of them were a harmonious couple and no longer did what he wanted. He could only sigh that the previous two had no vision.
"Zhu Youcai, a good horse never turns back. Aren't those beautiful women in your family enough for you to squander? If you come here to eat what others have left, you won't be afraid of not being able to poop."
A tea drinker stood up and spoke, and as soon as he finished speaking, the people around him started to make a noise.
Others also followed suit to insult Zhu Youcai, and some even told him that Gu Xiucai had been bullied in the same way some time ago, and the matter was only resolved after he went to the county magistrate!
Of course he didn't believe it!
How can a scholar ask the county magistrate to make decisions for him!
After hearing this, I just smiled and passed it off.
"Xixi, we had a relationship after all! How could you be so heartless to let me go like this? Then, you give me our engagement jade pendant, and we'll be done with it." He had gone to the Chang family in Wanfu Village before, but he couldn't find the token no matter how hard he looked. He thought that Chang Xixi must have returned to the countryside, and had no money to spend, so she pawned the thing.
"I lost something. If you want it, I'll go find one on the next street and give it back to you."
Chang Xixi said this and was about to set off!
Zhu Youcai reached out and grabbed her arm, "Without the jade pendant, then... you must marry me."
Qingnan was immediately furious. "Just talk, why are you still pulling and tugging? If the young master saw this, he would chop off his hand." She reached out and grabbed Zhu Youcai's wrist. With a little force, he groaned and let go of Chang Xixi's hand.
"How dare you, a servant, hold my hand!"
"I'm working for my young master, so why don't I have the right?"
Qingnan stood in front of Chang Xixi, just blocking Zhu Youcai's eyes from looking at Chang Xixi. The cold and murderous gaze shot out from Qingnan's eyes. He had fought on the battlefield, so it was not surprising for a rich young man.
Zhu Youcai was stunned again. This man's eyes were so creepy!
Gu Rongyu also heard the noise in the front hall. He slowly walked in from the back door and shouted as soon as he entered, "Madam, what happened?"
Chang Xixi looked at the man at the door. His tall figure was standing at the door. He glanced at her lightly, his eyes light... but it was clear that he was here to rescue her. Seeing Chang Xixi walk up to her, grab her hand and put it in his own hand, this scene was seen not only by Zhu Youcai, but also by everyone else.
What a loving couple!
"It was Zhu Youcai. He insisted on forcing me to divorce you. I didn't agree, so he made a big deal out of it." Chang Xixi sounded aggrieved, and her voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke.
Zhu Youcai began to feel wronged, he was indeed a bastard before!
That was also because the Zhou family was not honest. They originally said that the daughter was a legitimate one, but who knew that the child could be taken away by mistake? And they asked him to continue to fulfill his engagement with Chang Xixi. How could that be possible! Asking him to marry a poor girl, not only poor, but also very stupid, was impossible even if he was beaten to death.
If it was the current daughter of the Zhou family, or the current Chang Xixi, it would be about the same.
It is said that men rarely consider family background when choosing a wife, but it seems that is just a saying!
Men also care about family background and will not accept a woman who is not good enough.
"You...I never said that, but if she really wants to divorce, I can take it back."
Gu Rongyu was furious. Although he had not consummated his marriage with Chang Xixi, they were nominally husband and wife. How could he tolerate other men coming up to him and asking their wives to go home with them?
Not to mention that the poison he was suffering from has been cured now, even if it wasn't, he still had to get rid of this anger.
"Mr. Zhu is truly a man of great skill and courage. He can say such shameless words in front of so many people. I really wonder about your courage..." Gu Rongyu also hid Chang Xixi behind him like Qingnan before, "Do you think I'm dead?"
"I'm almost dead. I'm just waiting to take in a little widow to warm my bed."
Zhu Youcai took the opportunity to ridicule.
Everyone knows that Gu Rongyu is in poor health and will probably die in a few years!
Gu Rongyu was so angry that the veins on his neck popped out. "There's no engagement token, where did it come from? Get out of here!"
"You said, let me go, so I will go? Who do you think you are? You are just a gigolo." Zhu Youcai was even more disdainful. What was wrong with him? He was rich, not ugly, and he also understood romance.
