Chapter 211: Poaching 3 You and her must be together, inseparable...
Xu Wei quickly got up and came out to try to persuade them not to cause any more trouble, as he would not be able to explain to his old classmates.
As soon as Chu Lingyi saw Xu Wei, she turned around and ran out crying. Xu Wei looked at Zhou Juan disappointedly and quickly chased after her: "Lingyi, wait a minute."
Zhou Juan was almost pissed off at Xu Wei. She had been planning to make breakfast, but now she was too lazy to do it. She sat in the outer room, facing the door, waiting for Xu Wei to come back.
Xu Wei chased her all the way to the main road outside the dormitory building and grabbed Chu Lingyi's sleeve. "Lingyi, my wife has a bad temper. Don't take it personally. I appreciate your kindness, really."
Chu Lingyi turned around and looked at the man while crying, but she didn't know how happy she was.
It turns out that scholars are easy to deceive. They will take the bait just by shedding a tear. They don’t even need to prepare bait.
She cried, grabbing Xu Wei's sleeve and resting her forehead on his chest, blaming herself. "It's my fault! You helped me find a job, and I was so eager to express my gratitude that I forgot I was just an outsider, how could I possibly come here and make you breakfast? Teacher Xu, don't be angry. I won't be so stupid again. Go back quickly, or my sister-in-law will be angry again. Her mother is a provincial leader, and I don't want to offend her."
Xu Wei sighed silently, but instead of pushing her away, he patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay, ignore her. Leave her alone for two days and she'll be fine."
This is Xu Wei's experience. After all, when Zhou Juan made a mistake before, he could force her to give in through a cold war.
He thought this time was the same as before and no big deal. As for Chu Lingyi using his sweat shirt as a tear towel, he didn't care. It was just a wet spot on his chest, which would dry up soon.
Chu Lingyi already had a 70% to 80% chance of winning, but she didn't want to overdo it all at once, lest Zhou Juan make a scene. So she stopped and pushed Xu Wei away: "Teacher Xu, you should go back. My mother is not in good health, and I need to take her to see a doctor."
"Well, okay, don't take what happened just now to heart. I apologize to you on behalf of my lover." Xu Wei sighed silently. What a good woman. It's a pity that he ended up with a troublemaker like Zhou Juan.
The two separated at the intersection. Chu Lingyi walked out a few steps and found Xu Wei still looking at her. She immediately blushed and waved her hand: "Go back, Teacher Xu, I'm fine."
Look, Xiao Chu is so considerate, much better than Zhou Juan.
Xu Wei sighed silently, turned around and went back. When he got home, there was not even any breakfast, so he had to make it himself.
He still felt guilty about taking care of him when Zhou Juan was injured during her pregnancy, so after she recovered from her injury, Zhou Juan said she didn't want to cook anymore, and he agreed with her. They went out for lunch and dinner, but it was not convenient to go out for breakfast, so they took turns cooking.
After all, it’s just cooking porridge and laying an egg, it’s not difficult.
But he was in a bad mood today. Even though breakfast was ready, he was too lazy to call Zhou Juan. He brought in a bowl of breakfast himself, ate it with pickles, wiped his mouth, and got up to leave.
He didn't say a word to Zhou Juan the entire time. She just stared at him, watching him come in, watch him go out, watch him leave. Finally, she lowered her eyelashes sadly and called out to him, "Xu Wei, why is the center of your sweatshirt wet?"
Xu Wei went out without looking back, and only replied from outside the door: "None of your business."
"Really? I guess you and Chu Lingyi must be hugging each other and can't bear to be apart, right?" Zhou Juan stood up and walked to the door. The coldness in her eyes seemed to break through the midsummer heat wave and freeze Xu Wei.
Xu Wei sneered, "Here you go again. You think everyone else's heart is dirty."
After saying that, he left without looking back, without any intention of explaining.
Zhou Juan clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and sighed softly: "Xu Wei, you forced me to do this."
She didn't even have breakfast, she just locked the door and went out.
When she arrived at the publishing house, she didn't go in. She just stood at the door, waiting for the Chu family father and son to come.
The Chu family father and son had no idea what Chu Lingyi was doing out so early in the morning. They thought she was just going to buy vegetables. Now that she was stopped by Zhou Juan, they were completely confused.
Zhou Juan has always been a smart person, but her emotions get the better of her and she doesn't like to think.
And now, Chu Lingyi is almost forcing her, the legal wife, to have no place to stay. How could she not fight back?
She also invited Xie Dayou from the message room to come over. She calmly and slowly talked about what had happened in the past few days, emphasizing Xu Wei's wet sweat shirt today.
Finally, she asked Xie Dayou, "Grandpa Xie, I was sneaky and cunning before, and you even reported my mother. I don't blame you. It was indeed my fault, and you can see that I have changed now. So, let me ask, President Chu's family raised such a shameless daughter. Do you care about this matter? If you don't care, then fine, I will go to Director Yuan. I don't believe that anyone in this world can give me justice!"
Xie Dayou was very surprised. He looked at President Chu in surprise and asked, "Do you know about this?"
"I don't know." President Chu quickly denied it. He didn't know because his two children hadn't told him.
Zhou Juan sneered, "Really? I talked to your son yesterday, and he even defended your daughter. I just don't believe you didn't know about such a big thing. It's the father's fault for not raising the child well, so it's not too much to hold you responsible for your negligence, right? I'll give you three days to give me an explanation, otherwise, don't blame me for going straight to Director Yuan!"
After Zhou Juan finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the editorial department to work.
No matter whether she still has feelings for Xu Wei or not, at least he is her man. Before she loses interest in Xu Wei and lets go on her own initiative, no one can think of taking advantage of Xu Wei!
Xie Dayou stayed downstairs and sternly reprimanded the Chu family father and son: "This is outrageous! Your family was exiled for so many years, and now you've finally returned. Not only do you not cherish your reputation, but you actually allow your daughter to poach someone else's boyfriend? Shameless!"
The Chu family father and son did not dare to offend Xie Dayou. They lowered their heads and could not refute a word.
Seeing that their attitude was relatively decent, Xie Dayou gave them a chance: "Alright, you two, go back now and resolve this matter quickly! At the very least, make your daughter publicly apologize to Zhou Juan! What a joke! A married woman actually has the nerve to cry in the arms of a married man! Be careful that someone with ulterior motives will take advantage of you and send your entire family back to the countryside!"
When President Chu heard that he might have to go back to the countryside again, he didn't dare to delay for a moment and hurried back to scold his daughter.
Chu Lingyi was stubborn and refused to admit it. She also asked Xu Wei to come over for a three-way confrontation.
President Chu was so angry that he slapped her in the face: "Shameless thing! Zhou Juan is from a different background, why would she wrongly accuse you for something like this? Be careful not to offend her mother, or our whole family will suffer!"
Chu Lingyi was silent. She felt wronged, unwilling, and humiliated. All these emotions intertwined together, causing her hatred for Zhou Juan to reach an unprecedented level.
She clenched her hands, pushed her bicycle and ran out crying, and no one could stop her.
She rode her bike directly to the university and learned that Xu Wei had gone to the experimental field. She asked around and found the experimental field in the southern suburbs.
In midsummer, the seedlings planted in May have grown tall and strong, and each plant has formed a lush green ocean.
Xu Wei, together with students from the College of Agriculture, is checking the flowering of rice.
Chu Lingyi parked the car, ran over, found Xu Wei, and cried silently.
Xu Wei was completely confused. He could only give his students some instructions and then stood up and walked towards the distant fields.
"What's wrong, Lingyi?" Xu Wei guessed that it might be Zhou Juan causing trouble.
Chu Lingyi immediately added fuel to the fire, saying that Zhou Juan relied on the fact that her mother worked in the province and looked down on the Chu family who came back from the countryside. Even her father and brother were insulted by Zhou Juan.
Xu Wei was furious after hearing this and immediately went to look for his bike: "You guys, just like yesterday, remember to record the observation data. I have something to do and will be back soon."
Zhou E looked up and thought, could it be that his cousin has gotten into trouble again? Didn't his father say that his cousin has been working very hard recently?
Forget it, it’s none of his business anyway, so he continued to observe the flowering of rice with his classmates.

Xu Wei rushed to the publishing house and without a word, grabbed Zhou Juan's arm and dragged her up from her workstation: "You'd better not work this shift. Go back here, so you don't cause trouble here!"
Zhou Juan was so angry that she pushed him away. "Are you sick? This is my job. What right do you have to stop me from working? Oh, I see. Chu Lingyi is complaining to you again, right? Okay, fine. It seems that the Chu family is determined to protect this shameless bastard! Fine, then, I'll go find Director Yuan. I don't believe that there is no place for reason in this world!"
Xu Wei was so angry that he raised his hand to slap Zhou Juan.
Yao Zhizhi, who was in the office, heard the noise and hurried out to take a look. She scolded Xu Wei: "Teacher Xu, please use your brain before you take action!"
Xu Wei had to put down his raised hand.
He looked at Yao Zhizhi in surprise: "Editor Yao, why are you on her side too? Have you forgotten that when Teacher Yao came to my house to deliver something, she was suspicious and thought she was trying to seduce me? She's a repeat offender, you should know better than me."
Yao Zhizhi took a few steps forward, separating Xu Wei and Zhou Juan, then turned to look at Xu Wei: "Teacher Xu, let's put one thing first. I admit that Zhou Juan did wrongly accuse Teacher Yao, but don't forget that the two things are incomparable. First, Teacher Yao is indeed better than Zhou Juan, and it is logical for Zhou Juan to have a sense of crisis. Listen, I'm not saying that Zhou Juan did the right thing, I'm saying that her emotions are logical; second, you should know Zhou Juan's situation better than I do. She was worried about gains and losses and afraid of losing you, which is also logical. And now, she has returned to her job, working diligently and proactively, which is obvious to everyone. There is no reason for her to wrongly accuse a woman who just came back from the countryside. Besides, maybe you should find Chu Lingyi's classmates and get to know this woman better. As for Zhou Juan, don't worry, if she makes any mistakes, I will be the first one to not tolerate her. I don't keep idle people here, you know."
Xu Wei was silent and wanted to refute her, but Yao Zhizhi turned and went to the office and took out several manuscripts. "These are all the results of Zhou Juan's recent efforts. She has been focusing all her energy on work and writing. How can she have the energy to doubt others, unless this person takes the initiative to sow discord. As for you, it seems that you should also reflect on whether your prejudice against Zhou Juan is too deep. It is true that everyone disliked Zhou Juan in the past, but I can guarantee that Zhou Juan today is at least worthy of every penny of her salary. I think that after experiencing the hard days of being penniless, Zhou Juan today would not joke about her work. She is an adult and should know the price of wrongly accusing her own president. She can't be so stupid. If you still refuse to calm down and analyze the situation, and instead wrongly accuse her without knowing right from wrong, it is a bit unreasonable."
Xu Wei silently took the manuscripts, each of which was marked with a date. According to the timeline, Zhou Juan was indeed making progress every day.
But working hard doesn’t mean Zhou Juan won’t wrongly accuse others!
Just as he was wondering, Qi Changxiao came and handed him a piece of paper with three addresses written on it: "Maybe you should ask these three people what they think of Chu Lingyi."
