Chapter 191 Getting Drunk
Xu Zhengnan was also surprised, "Your father's handle?"
My father is a very serious man. He is very simple in both work and love. Not to mention me, even Xu Zhengnan couldn't figure out what leverage he could have.
But since Shen Yixiao said so, there must be something wrong.
"I want to see him." I took a deep breath and looked at him nervously.
When Xu Zhengnan heard that I wanted to meet Shen Yixiao, his brows furrowed and his aura noticeably cooled.
"Please go with me." I said again, "I'll feel more at ease if you're here with me."
Xu Zhengnan's frown relaxed, and my words seemed to make him feel a little happier. "Why do you feel more at ease when I'm here?"
I feel a little embarrassed. In fact, every time I have a problem that I can't solve, I will habitually think of him. It may be a habit left over from my childhood.
Fortunately, he didn't insist that I answer this question, and agreed directly, "Okay, I'll go with you."
We had just chatted for a few words when my mother came out wearing her coat, her eyes half sleepy. "Xiaoyue, Zhengnan, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Mom, I'll get up and help Xu Zhengnan open the door, and then go to bed right away." I quickly stood up and answered.
Xu Zhengnan replied very politely, "Aunt Bai, did I disturb your sleep? I heard that my mother was here, so I came here."
My mother smiled and said, "Okay, then sleep here with us. This is your house. In fact, we are just renting your house."
"You're welcome, just consider it your house." Xu Zhengnan replied.
My mother went back to the bedroom. Xu Zhengnan and I looked at each other and went to rest.
When I was closing the door, I heard Xu Zhengnan's phone ringing. I wondered who was calling him so late at night.
——
The next morning, when Aunt Yang saw Xu Zhengnan there, she was surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"
"The house was empty, so I came here." Xu Zhengnan replied calmly.
Aunt Yang was very puzzled, "Really? Didn't you like being alone before? You even thought your dad and I were annoying."
Xu Zhengnan calmly drank the millet porridge cooked by my mother. Li Qingming suddenly spoke up, "I know. My mother said that when brother Zhengnan was young, he would not be annoyed unless my sister looked for him."
My mother quickly picked up a piece of steamed sweet potato and stuffed it into Li Qingming's mouth. "Okay, Mingming, eat quickly and don't talk."
I buried my head in drinking the porridge, afraid that I would make any strange expression and embarrass Xu Zhengnan.
"That's because Zhengnan is patient." My dad was very pleased. "It's a blessing for Li Yue to have a neighbor like Zhengnan."
It is indeed my blessing, but I didn’t cherish it.
A suspicious embarrassment flashed across Xu Zhengnan's face, and it was so fleeting that I thought I was dazzled. He looked at me and answered my father's words, "Uncle Li, I am actually not very patient, unless it is someone important to me."
"Cough, cough, cough..." I choked on the porridge and couldn't help coughing.
If he showed any ambiguous signs in front of my parents, I would really be ashamed.
I used to cling to him, and both sides of my parents saw it but did not stop me.
Later, I turned around and eloped with Shen Yixiao. Now I have ended up being betrayed, I am about to get divorced, and I am about to get entangled with Xu Zhengnan.
This behavior sounds like a scumbag.
I was afraid that Aunt Yang would feel uncomfortable, and even more afraid that my parents would feel embarrassed.
"I know you are a loyal child, and it's Li Yue who doesn't cherish you." My father sighed heavily.
The conversation had come to this point, and I had no choice but to interrupt, "Mom, do you have any more porridge? I want some more."
My mother added more porridge for me, and the inexplicable topic just now was turned over.
After breakfast, I made an excuse to go out for a walk with Xu Zhengnan, got into his car and left home.
In the car, I called Shen Yixiao.
"Hello?" The voice coming from the other side was Lu Xiaoyun's. It sounded like she had just woken up, and her voice was very lazy and attractive.
I turned on the speakerphone, so Xu Zhengnan naturally heard it too.
Thinking of those high-sounding words Shen Yixiao said when he stopped me and my mother yesterday, it was really disgusting.
In his previous life, he admitted to me that Lu Xiaoyun's body was extremely attractive to him, and psychological liking for her was secondary.
Men are animals who think with themselves.
"Madam, I'm sorry!" After Lu Xiaoyun reacted, she immediately began to apologize, "Yi Xiao was in a bad mood last night and drank too much. Meng Zicheng was in a bad mood after what happened, so I could only accompany him. Don't misunderstand me!"
"Ask him to answer the phone." I was too lazy to argue with her about this issue.
"He went to take a shower." Lu Xiaoyun suddenly became shy.
I know Shen Yixiao's living habits very well. If he hasn't just finished exercising in bed, he won't take a shower early in the morning.
Lu Xiaoyun should be in bed now, having just made love with Shen Yixiao, and answered my call.
She is the same as before, hoping that I know but pretending to hide it.
Worried that Shen Yixiao would blame her.
"Tell him I agree to meet you. I'll send you the address." I felt the disgusting smell between them was about to float out through the phone, so I hung up after I said that.
Xu Zhengnan glanced at me and continued driving. "He and Lu Xiaoyun have always been in contact. He wants to win you back because he is unwilling to give up."
"I know." I curled my lips, "I know Shen Yixiao better than you."
"If he doesn't agree to a divorce, just sue him. I'll take care of the fees and the lawyers." Xu Zhengnan seemed to be urging me to get a divorce.
I scratched my hair, feeling a little upset. "He will definitely share the debt with me. I will be under a lot of pressure then. I have to think of a way to make money."
"Aren't you selling paintings?" Xu Zhengnan asked with a smile.
"How did you know?!" I was very surprised. The paintings I left with Qiu Xinlian were all anonymous, and no one knew that I consigned them to her for sale.
Xu Zhengnan replied, "I saw your paintings in a gallery. The style was very similar to yours. Later, I looked up Qiu Xinlian and found the city where you were. It just so happened that Xia Yu told me that there was a person whose back looked very similar to you. It couldn't be such a coincidence. I was sure you were there."
…
Didn’t I meet Xia Yu, and he saw me, and he told Xu Zhengnan?
It turns out it was all my illusion.
Xu Zhengnan recognized my handwriting based on just one drawing, and traced it back to Qiu Xinlian, and then found me. As for Shen Yixiao, I drew so many drawings for him, but he couldn't recognize it. He only used my family's safety to threaten me, or posted various remarks online to provoke me to show up.
An idea flashed through my mind, and I asked hesitantly, "Xu Zhengnan, the painting I left on consignment with Sister Qiu, you..."
"I sent people to buy them all." He admitted readily.
For a moment, I didn't know what to feel. No wonder Qiu Xinlian said that although my paintings were not famous, there were people buying them and I had no trouble selling them. It turned out that Xu Zhengnan was silently backing me up.
