Chapter 23 Chapter 23 It seems that she is the original wife, and I am your...
Chen Zhuo ran after him and explained to Jiang Jun: "Listen to my explanation. I didn't mean to lie to you. I just didn't know how to tell you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was wrong."
Jiang Jun paused, she cursed under her breath, then turned and glared at Chen Zhuo: "I don't understand, what can you lie to me about?"
Shen Zhuo interrupted her anxiously: "No, no!"
Jiang Jun sneered: "You have been living in his house for so many days, right? Now you can go back to your own home. I will move out immediately and not disturb you." Her pace became faster and faster. When she rushed out of the community gate, she happened to meet someone getting out of a taxi.
"Jiang Jun!" Shen Zhuo shouted behind her.
But she didn't hesitate at all, she opened the back door of the taxi and got in. Shen Zhuo ran out in two quick steps, but before his hand touched the handle, the taxi drove away.
"Jiang Jun!" Chen Zhuo watched the taxi turn at the intersection and then disappear.
She looked around, cars were passing by, but there was not a single empty taxi.
A car horn sounded behind her. Shen Zhuo looked back and saw that Shao Chengzhang had already driven out. She hurriedly opened the passenger door and said, "Please take me home first, Zhonghu District 1, thank you." After saying that, she sat in and quickly fastened her seat belt.
Chen Zhuo called Jiang Jun twice, but both times the call was temporarily unavailable. They had known each other for nearly fourteen years, and this was the first time Jiang Jun had deliberately ignored her calls.
"It's over, I'm done." Shen Zhuo sighed and hung his head in frustration.
The car was completely silent. Shao Chengzhang hadn't played any music or tuned in to the radio. The green light ahead had turned yellow, and he slowly slowed down. After coming to a complete stop, he asked, "Are you friends?"
He was a little curious about their relationship.
"Jiang Jun is my best friend," Chen Zhuo said. "No, she is family to me."
"The reason for your quarrel is... because of me?" Shao Chengzhang remembered that Jiang Jun seemed to glare at him several times.
"It's you!" Chen Zhuo suddenly raised his voice and glared at him. "We agreed not to live together after we got married. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lied to her about being on a business trip. Now she's caught us. How am I going to explain it to her?"
"Then why didn't you tell her the truth at the beginning?" Shao Chengzhang asked.
"I..." Chen Zhuo was stunned by the question, "How should I know...I just said that at the time."
"Do you know what it looked like just now?" he suddenly asked.
"What?" Shen Zhuo asked back unhappily.
Shao Chengzhang pondered for a few seconds and said, "It seems that she is the original wife, and I am the third party you cheated with."
Chen Zhuo smiled speechlessly. What kind of train of thought is this?
"So next, is to ask for forgiveness from the original wife and break up with the mistress?"
"It could also be a story of parting ways amicably with the original wife and being with the third party." Shao Chengzhang's mouth curled up.
"You're so beautiful." Chen Zhuo snorted coldly, "You make me sound like an irresponsible scumbag. At a time like this, shouldn't the mistress reflect on herself?"
"If that's the case, it takes two to tango. Are you right?"
It was mainly her fault, so she had to admit it. However, she didn't like to hear the truth, so she just glared at him and said, "This is so annoying. You should just drive properly."
The air was silent for a few seconds, the red light was counting down, Shao Chengzhang held the steering wheel with one hand, his eyes fixed on the front, the corners of his lips still curved.
The car drove directly to the downstairs of the apartment building. After thanking him, Chen Zhuo asked him to leave and told her that she would not return to Yuelan Bay in the next few days. She didn't know if she could coax Jiang Jun.
Shao Chengzhang understood what was going on and simply told her to call him if she had any problems.
Chen Zhuo returned home and found Jiang Jun packing her luggage. "What are you doing?" She walked over quickly, one hand on her waist and the other on her forehead, looking a little at a loss.
"I'll make some room for you." Jiang Jun folded the clothes and rolled them up without even raising his head.
"Jiang Jun, don't be like this. I was really wrong." Chen Zhuo squatted in front of Jiang Jun's suitcase, stopped her hand and apologized to her.
Jiang Jun had a cold face and said nothing. He just broke free from her hand, stood up and threw his clothes from the closet into the suitcase.
"Please forgive me, okay? I really didn't mean to lie to you. I'll tell you everything from beginning to end, okay?" Shen Zhuo's tone softened a bit, but Jiang Jun remained unmoved, as if she had blocked her out, and just folded clothes by herself.
"Hey, what should I do? Do you think I'll be comfortable these days? Every time I feel upset, I want to find you, but I'm afraid you'll know. I'm almost dying of annoyance..." As he spoke, Chen Zhuo's tears fell.
Jiang Jun finally stopped and looked at her.
She knew Shen Zhuo too well.
Chen Zhuo has a very low tear point and is often moved to tears when she sees a short video of people rescuing kittens and puppies. However, she rarely reveals her emotions. She always speaks lightly about things related to herself, and will not take the initiative to show her grievances.
Jiang Jun was really angry, but when he saw her tears, he felt much less angry and wondered if she had any unavoidable reasons.
Even though he thought so, Jiang Jun was still unforgiving: "I haven't said anything yet, and you're already complaining?"
"I just feel wronged...and you don't listen to me."
Jiang Jun pretended to be indifferent: "Alright, alright, stop crying. I'll give you a chance to explain."
Chen Zhuo sat cross-legged next to the suitcase and said, "Do you still remember those hidden Lumi models..."
She explained the whole process to Jiang Jun in almost every detail. After she finished, she carefully observed Jiang Jun's expression and said, "That's how it is. I don't know why I said that."
After listening to Chen Zhuo's story, Jiang Jun almost calmed down. She deliberately put on a cold face and tested Chen Zhuo again: "I have two questions."
Shen Zhuo nodded quickly and obediently: "Ask."
"First, where do you think you went wrong?"
Shen Zhuo was confident that he had answered correctly: "I shouldn't have lied to you, especially not for a man."
Jiang Jun hummed, "Second, why didn't you dare tell me you wanted to live with him?"
...How can you ask the same question as Shao Chengzhang!
Chen Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "There may be two reasons. First, didn't we discuss the issue of marriage before? I may feel from the bottom of my heart that if I am with Shao Chengzhang."
Chen Zhuo paused, re-emphasizing what she meant by 'together'. "We just live together, there's no other relationship. It might be a kind of... betrayal of our relationship? I'm afraid you'll be unhappy... Another reason is that I think you will definitely worry about me and won't let me go, but I've already promised him, so... Anyway, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I won't lie to you again, really!"
She clasped her hands together and leaned on Jiang Jun's shoulder. "Please don't be angry, okay?"
"Hmph, now you regret admitting your mistake. If I hadn't run into you at my aunt's today, how long would you have continued to lie to me?" Jiang Jun deliberately nudged her shoulder, but Shen Zhuo leaned against her firmly and didn't shake her off at all.
"I was planning to find a chance to tell you, seriously! You don't know that I didn't dare talk to you during this period. I was almost suffocating, afraid that you would get angry if you knew about it, but in the end you still found out like this." Chen Zhuo straightened up, "I accept any beating or punishment, but you can't ignore me. Don't let this matter affect our relationship."
"What do you think our relationship is?"
Shen Zhuo said, "Family."
"Will that family ignore each other just because they are angry?" Jiang Jun asked back.
"Of course not!" Chen Zhuo reacted and hugged her with a smile, "I knew you would definitely forgive me."
Jiang Jun tsk- ...
"Of course." Chen Zhuo said with a smile, "I ate at a rare sushi restaurant yesterday. You're sure you liked it. I wanted to message you at the time, but I was afraid of being exposed. So I took a photo and will show it to you later. And Gu Yuan has a limited edition grapefruit curd. You're sure you'll like it too."
Jiang Jun got straight to the point: "Who did you go with? Shao Chengzhang?"
"You're so annoying, but he's not the only one in my life..."
Jiang Jun snorted, "That's right."
Chen Zhuo didn't answer directly. She patted the suitcase and changed the subject. "Hurry up and take out your clothes. You are an adult and still running away from home." As she spoke, she spread out the clothes in the suitcase and hung them up.
In order to compensate Jiang Jun, Chen Zhuo agreed to accompany her to the bar "Du" which has been very popular in the past two years.
Chen Zhuo usually likes to have a drink, but prefers to drink alone at home and rarely goes to bars. She doesn't have a very good impression of bars, as she thinks they are noisy and messy. However, since Jiang Jun specifically asked her to go, she would definitely not refuse this time.
At first she didn't remember it, she just felt that the name sounded familiar. Suddenly she remembered that Shao Chengzhang had given her a VIP card. She took it out of her bag and took a look. It was a "Du" membership card.
Shen Zhuo clicked his tongue in his heart. Shao Chengzhang looked like a gentleman, but he was actually a playboy in private. It seemed that he went there often, otherwise why would he apply for a card?
After dinner, the two of them put on their makeup and dressed up carefully before taking a taxi to "Du". Perhaps because it was a holiday, they arrived just after nine o'clock and already had to wait for a table.
Looking at the line that stretched out for several meters, Chen Zhuo couldn't help but sigh, "Is this bar really that popular?"
"It's been very popular since it first opened. There were bands playing before 11 o'clock, and after that it became a nightclub. I've only been here once in the two years since it opened, and it was quite crowded last time." Jiang Jun explained to her, "What should we do? Should we wait or go somewhere else?"
Shen Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "Wait for me to ask."
She walked to the front of the line, took out her membership card and handed it to the waiter handing out numbers at the door. "Hello, can I use your membership card to reserve a booth?"
The waiter took the membership card, checked the card number, smiled at Chen Zhuo, and said, "Please wait a moment." He picked up his phone and made a call.
"Yes, it's Mr. Shao's card." The waiter glanced at Chen Zhuo again and replied, "It's a lady... OK... OK." The waiter hung up the phone, returned the card to Chen Zhuo, and said with a smile, "Please wait a moment, someone will take you in."
Chen Zhuo didn't expect that this membership card was really useful. Fortunately, she took it with her before going out. She put the card in her bag, turned around and called Jiang Jun, and waved to her.
"Ah? Can we go in?" Jiang Jun exclaimed with wide eyes. She was already looking at other bar recommendations on the platform.
"Hmm." Shen Zhuo took her arm and said with a smile: "Ms. Shen will pay for the meal tonight, so you can drink as much as you want."
The people in line were dissatisfied and grumbled to the waiter, "Don't they accept reservations? How come they can get in?"
The waiter politely replied: "Hello, SVIP guests can skip the reservation queue."
Jiang Jun lowered her voice: "Xiao Zhuozi, you used your money power!" She pretended to sob twice and wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingers, "I'm so touched..."
Chen Zhuo smiled awkwardly: "Well, I have to confess something to you."
"What?" Jiang Jun looked at her seriously for another second.
"The card I just used..." Chen Zhuo felt a little guilty, "is Shao Chengzhang's. But I'll definitely be paying for tonight. I definitely won't be spending his money."
Chen Zhuo was quite worried that Jiang Jun would mind, but Jiang Jun glared at her and said, "Why not spend it?! Who did we quarrel about today? If I don't spend it, it will be a waste! I will have to make a big profit from him!"
