After glancing at Su Mu, Liao Nanxing said to Xu Xiuzhen, "Mom, please take care of Mu Mu. Zhou Chunhua asked me to talk about Nini, so I have to go check on her."
"Nini? What about Nini? It's been so many years, why would Zhou Chunhua suddenly bring up Nini's matter?"
Xu Xiuzhen looked at Su Mu with a nervous expression.
Su Mu, who had been shedding tears, suddenly stopped crying.
"Who knows! She only said it was about Nini. I'll go check it out first." After saying that, Liao Nanxing put on her coat, made a phone call, and went out.
Xu Xiuzhen and Su Mu gazed at each other from a distance.
...
Meanwhile, Zhou Chunhua received a call from Liao Nanxing, and they arranged to meet at a coffee shop.
When Zhou Chunhua arrived, Liao Nanxing had not yet come.
She ordered herself an iced Americano first.
After waiting for a while, I saw a person who looked a bit like Liao Nanxing enter the coffee shop.
The next second, she looked down at her phone again.
In her opinion, that person was just someone who resembled Liao Nanxing in build.
Because that somewhat sleazy and thieving air could never be found in the proud Professor Liao.
The chair next to her was suddenly pulled out, and she said, "I don't want to share a table, thank you."
"What kind of table do you want to share?"
Liao Nanxing's voice came from inside, and Zhou Chunhua looked up in surprise.
With just one glance, she almost choked on the coffee in her mouth.
So... I wasn't mistaken, it really was Liao Nanxing.
However, Liao Nanxing's facial injuries seemed to be much more serious than they were last night.
"Your face..."
Liao Nanxing slammed his hand on the table with a bang as soon as he sat down.
"Don't think I don't know. What happened yesterday was all a dirty trick by Gu Yao! You tell Gu Yao that once I find evidence, I'm going to sue him until he's bankrupt!"
"Gu Yao?" Zhou Chunhua was dumbfounded. "You got into trouble because of your own foul mouth. What does it have to do with Gu Yao?"
In her view, this was simply Liao Nanxing's usual tendency to shirk responsibility.
"You're still defending him!" Liao Nanxing, who was already angry, exploded with rage.
“Zhou Chunhua, do you even know what kind of person Gu Yao is? How dare you get so close to him? Aren’t you afraid he’s after the money you took from me?”
"That's hilarious. Do you think everyone is like you?" Zhou Chunhua retorted without hesitation.
Liao Nanxing grabbed her hand: "Do you even have a brain? Think about it carefully, why is Gu Yao so close to you? Zhou Chunhua, I advise you not to be love-struck, it's best to stay away from him. Otherwise, you'll end up being swindled out of everything, and you'll have nowhere to cry!"
Zhou Chunhua withdrew her hand and wiped it again and again with a tissue, looking disgusted.
"What's our relationship? Why should I need your concern?"
"I don't need to worry about you?" Liao Nanxing sneered. "Then why do you always try to appear by my side? Why are you dressed like this now and using Nini as an excuse to ask me out? Isn't it just to attract my attention?"
"I must say, you've really surprised me. But that's all. After today, no matter what your reason, don't contact me again. Mumu is very sensitive right now, and I don't want her to have any more misunderstandings about me."
Zhou Chunhua laughed when she heard this.
"Liao Nanxing, listen to me carefully. I wiped off my lipstick and took off my high heels for you, turning into a housewife who did your laundry and cooked for you. I dressed casually, showed my teeth when I laughed, swore when I was angry, and clumsily cooked for you while heavily pregnant, even leaving the bathroom door open when I went to the toilet."
I used the money I saved from grocery shopping to buy you cigarettes and alcohol. It wasn't because I didn't have the means to live a better life with a better man; it was simply because back then, I thought you loved me too.
If I lose the charm you had when you first met me, and you choose to stop loving me, I can still put on high heels, apply exquisite makeup, and regain my dignity and confidence. Let's put it this way: I can indulge you, or I can replace you.
So please don't think I'll bother you anymore. Because I won't reach for a penny that's fallen into a latrine.
“You…” Liao Nanxing clenched his fist.
He was indeed angry, but when he heard Zhou Chunhua say that she no longer cared about him, he felt inexplicably furious.
"Alright, let's get down to business." Zhou Chunhua tossed the tissue she had used to wipe her hands into the ashtray and said, "I called you here just to ask you one thing. Think carefully, did you give Su Mu a large sum of money around July or August of 2017?"
"You investigated me?" Liao Nanxing exclaimed in surprise.
Zhou Chunhua impatiently plugged her ears: "Are you sick? You're always yelling and shouting!"
When Liao Nanxing reached out to grab her wrist, Zhou Chunhua dodged him.
She genuinely thought he was dirty.
“I need to explain this. I investigated you to gather evidence for the divorce. But the question I just asked was about Nini, so please answer me truthfully.”
Liao Nanxing withdrew his hand in disappointment and said impatiently, "No."
"Think about it carefully!"
“I said no, and that's it! Even though you might feel uncomfortable hearing this, I still want to say it. Su Mu is different; she has never asked me for a single penny in all these years!”
Aside from basic necessities, all I gave her were some small trinkets. From the beginning until now, the total amount I've given her probably hasn't exceeded 20,000 yuan.
"Isn't it Su Mu?" Zhou Chunhua slumped back in her chair.
She thought she had found a breakthrough this time.
Could it be that... they're looking in the wrong direction?
Zhou Chunhua got up to leave in a daze, but Liao Nanxing grabbed her arm.
She tried to pull her hand away, but Liao Nanxing held on tightly.
So... with her other hand, she slapped Liao Nanxing across the face.
Liao Nanxing, in a daze from the pain, let go, and she was able to break free.
As I walked toward the gate, Liao Nanxing's shouts echoed behind me.
As she left the coffee shop, she vaguely heard Liao Nanxing seem to be following her out.
But she didn't want to see Liao Nanxing's disgusting face again, so she didn't plan to turn back.
Whether she tripped over something or her legs suddenly lost their strength, she lost her balance and fell down.
"Zhou Chunhua!" Liao Nanxing's voice came from behind.
But she found herself in a warm embrace.
"Gu Yao! Let her go!" Liao Nanxing, who had caught up, reached out to touch her, but was slapped away by a large hand.
Zhou Chunhua looked up in a daze, and in her hazy state, she saw the familiar face behind the gold-rimmed glasses. She then mumbled, "Please take me home."
Okay. Let's go home.
Gu Yao picked the person up horizontally, and Liao Nanxing spread out her arms to block them.
"Give her to me."
Gu Yao's eyes turned cold: "You better get out of my way. Otherwise, believe me, I'll make sure you never dare to leave the house again!"
"You...you're threatening me?"
"Threatening?" Gu Yao sneered: "Get out of here in three seconds, or else... that's informing me."
