Chapter 206: Full of Gunpowder
The next morning, Xu Zhengnan came to my door waiting for me.
My mother didn't ask too many questions. As long as she went out with Xu Zhengnan, she and my father would feel inexplicably relieved and never impose too many restrictions.
I put on some makeup today to look good, clear and bright. I wore a white coat and a beige wool scarf, and looked gentle and generous.
When Xu Zhengnan saw me, his eyes lit up, and then he smiled gently, "You look good today."
"Thank you." I felt a little embarrassed. I made a scene that went a little crazy at his house yesterday. Thinking of those red-faced scenes, I still blush a little.
Did we officially confirm our relationship yesterday? I think so, and I think Xu Zhengnan thinks the same way. Otherwise, why would he tell Jiang Xinyu that I was his girlfriend and take me to meet her?
The car drove to the destination. On the way, I asked nervously, "Xu Zhengnan, are you sure you and Jiang Xinyu have seriously mentioned breaking up? Are you sure you didn't have sex with her?"
I was afraid that he would cheat on me, and if that happened, I would become a mistress.
Maybe I was traumatized by Shen Yixiao's deception. I am always subconsciously afraid of lies, especially when someone I trust very much lies to me. It is more painful than killing me.
"Well, believe me." Xu Zhengnan's voice was very affirmative.
I felt a little relieved and looked at the receding scenery, wondering what kind of person Jiang Xinyu was. I had only met her a few times. The first time we met up close, she was aggressive and full of suspicion and questioning towards me. The other times, she was wandering around the house I rented like a ghost.
Soon, we arrived outside a temple.
I didn’t expect that the place where I would meet Jiang Xinyu would be a temple?
You need to buy a ticket to enter this temple, and the price is not low. After Xu Zhengnan and I went in, we walked around and around and finally saw the main hall of the temple. Under the fence outside the hall, there was an artificial lake with withered lotus flowers. There was no vitality in this season, and the entire water surface was a little dark.
A woman was wearing a long beige down jacket with a big hood on the back with a furry collar that covered her face, making her face look small and white. She was standing not far away, watching Xu Zhengnan and I walk over.
I originally thought that Xu Zhengnan and her had broken up, and I believed that the child was not Xu Zhengnan's, so I had no guilty conscience.
But when I got closer, I suddenly started to back off.
Jiang Xinyu and Xu Zhengnan graduated from the same university, studied the same major, and worked in the same industry abroad. Except that Xu Zhengnan did not have any feelings between a man and a woman for her, in other aspects, they were really suitable for each other. During the time they were abroad, they were seen by others as a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a very suitable couple.
I don’t know why they broke up. Xu Zhengnan never told me, but now Jiang Xinyu has been asking for a reconciliation. If I hadn’t intervened, they might really have a chance to get back together.
My pace slowed down. Thinking about how I dropped out of high school, eloped with Shen Yixiao, mixed up in society, and was injured and unable to have children, a sense of inferiority arose. It seemed that I really could not keep up with Xu Zhengnan's pace.
"What's wrong?" Xu Zhengnan asked in a low voice when he noticed that I had stopped.
"No, I just suddenly didn't know what to say to her." I concealed my inferiority and guilt, and didn't even dare to look into his eyes.
I can be justified in front of Lu Xiaoyun because she is a mistress, and I have been with Shen Yixiao through so many ups and downs, and I have paid so much for him.
But I have no such experience here with Xu Zhengnan, so naturally I don’t have the confidence to do so.
Xu Zhengnan reached out and held my hand, interlocking our fingers. The warmth between our palms seemed to dispel the fear in my heart. He comforted me gently and calmly, "You don't need to say anything. I'll take care of everything. I just want her to know that I do have someone I like."
"Xu Zhengnan, she seems to be more suitable for you." I frowned tightly.
"What are you talking about? Education or family background? Or some life experiences?" Xu Zhengnan saw what I was thinking at the moment. He glanced at Jiang Xinyu not far away and held my hand tightly. "In my heart, Li Yue is the best and most suitable person for me."
His eyes were full of strength, without a trace of perfunctory or hesitation. I looked at him, and the cowardice in my heart gradually dissipated, and courage filled my body again, "Okay, you said it."
Xu Zhengnan curled his lips, "Yes, I said so."
While we were chatting, Jiang Xinyu was already approaching. Only after she came closer did I see her slightly bulging belly. When we were abroad before, she wore a loose black skirt. I was not familiar with her and did not look at her much, so I did not notice that she was pregnant at all.
She walked slowly, and her steps seemed heavy with her bulging belly.
"Zhengnan, you're here." Her eyes full of pride swept over me, and she ignored me and just greeted Xu Zhengnan.
Xu Zhengnan responded, "Well, don't you want to meet my girlfriend? I brought her here."
I heard his words and greeted Jiang Xinyu very cooperatively, "Hello, Miss Jiang, my name is Li Yue——"
Before I could finish my words, Jiang Xinyu interrupted me forcefully, her tone full of gunpowder and very targeted, "I know, Li Yue, your divorce with your husband is all over the Internet. I heard that you dropped out of school for that man when you were seventeen, and you didn't even have a high school diploma. Then you just hung around until that man made some money and you stayed at home as a rich wife for a few years."
Her words were undoubtedly mocking me, even the tone of her voice.
I guessed her personality because she was very aggressive when we first met.
But in this situation, she brought up my embarrassing past as a profile of me, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
"Well, Shen Yixiao and I are ready to divorce." After calming down, I replied with a smile.
"That means you haven't divorced yet. You are cheating on your wife. It was said on the Internet that you and Zhengnan had an ambiguous relationship. You filed for divorce for him. It seems to be true?" Jiang Xinyu pressed aggressively.
Xu Zhengnan wanted to speak, but I responded again, "Whatever you think is fine, Miss Jiang. I never think that staying chaste for a man who cheated on me physically and mentally is something to be celebrated. Shen Yixiao and I are no longer in love, and he has had several abortions with other people. I asked for a divorce but he refused. That's his business."
"If he never agrees to divorce, will I be single forever?"
My answer made Jiang Xinyu a little unhappy, but she didn't know how to respond. This was not the ancient feudal society. Shen Yixiao and I had fallen out like that, and everyone had seen it. I only got together with Xu Zhengnan after I filed for divorce with him, and I thought there was no big problem.
Shen Yixiao will definitely hold me back from getting a divorce, but I won’t stand still because of this.
