Chapter 63
Seeing Lu Chen's surprised expression, Meng Yinyin immediately tried to explain, "Well, you have to work during the day and are already very tired. Besides, I was the one who was rescued, so I should go to his house and thank him properly, don't you think?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen frowned and hesitated for two seconds. In the end, he felt uneasy about letting Meng Yinyin go alone. After all, after what happened with Song Yue, he was not at all comfortable with Meng Yinyin walking outside alone.
At the critical moment, Meng Yinyin's mind worked much faster than usual. She guessed Lu Chen's thoughts almost instantly and stopped him again.
"I can really do it on my own! Or do you think I'm such a grown-up that I can't handle other things well, so I can't even handle such a small thing?"
As Meng Yinyin spoke, she deliberately showed an angry expression and glared at Lu Chen with a pout.
Seeing this, Lu Chen dared not say anything and could only nod helplessly.
Seeing that Lu Chen finally gave up the idea of going to Dou Zhengrong's house, Meng Yinyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Yinyin was afraid that something might go wrong again, so she quickly found an excuse to go back to her room to rest and didn't want to continue talking about this topic with Lu Chen.
After returning to the room, she found that her back was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and she couldn't help but complain to Lu Chen in her heart.
But she knew in her heart that if such a scene happened a few more times, she would not be able to get over it with her courage.
Therefore, the best way is to nip the problem in the bud and solve the problem completely. Otherwise, it will pop up from time to time to scare her, and Meng Yinyin feels that she really cannot bear this scare.
So she spent the whole afternoon thinking about how to avoid getting Lu Chen, Lin Xiuzhi and Dou Zhengrong entangled in this matter again.
However, the final result was that after thinking about it for an entire afternoon, she still couldn't come up with a good solution.
After all, Lu Chen, Dou Zhengrong and Lin Xiuzhi were in the same team, so no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't avoid them completely.
So simply avoiding them wouldn't work. If that was the case, why not do some ideological work on them? Just like she had influenced Lu Chen, instill in them little by little the idea that they couldn't be together?
After thinking about it, Meng Yinyin felt that this method was not impossible. Finally, she resolutely decided to go to Dou Zhengrong's house in the afternoon to instill in the couple the awareness of staying together well!
Even if they really can't live together anymore, Lin Xiuzhi can't come to Lu Chen. After all, Lu Chen is with her now, and it would be impolite for Lin Xiuzhi to come to him again.
After figuring it out, Meng Yinyin seized the time to think of some words, and time passed quickly.
Before Lu Chen left for work in the afternoon, he had already prepared everything for Dou Zhengrong and placed them in the main room. Meng Yinyin saw them as soon as she got up and went out.
Most people in the country are very practical, and usually they give people food or useful things as gifts. Lu Chen was no exception. He asked Meng Yinyin to bring a basket of vegetables, but hidden under the vegetables was a piece of bacon weighing about one pound. This thing could be considered a very high-end item in the country, and it was heavy enough to give as a gift.
He had prepared everything, which made it convenient for Meng Yinyin as she didn't have to think about what to give her, and his etiquette was also correct. Meng Yinyin suddenly felt that Lu Chen was becoming more and more capable.
Soon, she picked up the basket, locked the door, and walked towards Dou Zhengrong's house.
When they arrived not far from Dou Zhengrong's home, Meng Yinyin saw that their door was open. Dou Zhengrong was sitting in the yard repairing a stool. The two children, Dabao and Erbao, were nowhere to be seen. It was unknown whether they had gone out to play or to look for wild vegetables again.
As for Lin Xiuzhi, Meng Yinyin didn't see her in the yard, so she didn't know whether she was in the house or out.
So she wouldn't be facing Dou Zhengrong alone, right?
She was thinking that since she and Lin Xiuzhi were both lesbians, it might be easier to talk, but she didn't expect that she was nowhere to be seen.
If she were to face Dou Zhengrong alone, she would be a little worried about the inexplicable love story between them.
For a moment, Meng Yinyin felt as if she was in a dilemma.
But while she was hesitating, Dou Zhengrong had already seen her and took the initiative to greet her.
"Meng Zhiqing, why are you here?"
Meng Yinyin came to her senses and noticed that Dou Zhengrong was looking at her. Now she was really in a dilemma.
She could only force a dry smile and then replied to Dou Zhengrong.
"Ha, ha, ha, yes, I came here because I have something to tell you."
Hearing this, Dou Zhengrong immediately put down what he was doing, stood up with the help of his crutches, and called Meng Yinyin to come into the yard and sit down.
But when he noticed Meng Yinyin's hesitant steps, he seemed to react, his brows wrinkled, and finally he suppressed his annoyance and shouted into the house behind him.
"Xiuzhi, Meng Zhiqing is here, please come out for a moment."
He is a grown man, and even though it is daytime, if he stays alone with Meng Yinyin, it may lead to some gossip, so Dou Zhengrong can only call Lin Xiuzhi who is lying in the room out.
Ever since Lu Chen came home to find Dou Zhengrong last time and asked Lin Xiuzhi face to face why she said those words to Meng Yinyin, Lin Xiuzhi has been depressed for a long time and is still angry until now. At the same time, she is completely confused about whether Lu Chen likes "Lin Xiuzhi" or not.
If he really liked "Lin Xiuzhi", then why would he say such cruel words to herself and always stand on Meng Yinyin's side? This was too disrespectful to her.
And most importantly, if Lu Chen really didn't like "Lin Xiuzhi", then what would she do after she and Dou Zhengrong divorced? Wouldn't she have to live alone? !
But she didn't want to stay and take care of a cripple and be a stepmother to two children. Whoever wants to do this hard life can do it!
Because of all these troubles and problems, Lin Xiuzhi had no energy to do anything else during this period of time. She just stayed at home every day thinking and worrying.
As for everything else at home, she still wouldn't care about Dou Zhengrong and the two children. Even this home was not hers. What did it have to do with her if they were not living well now?
Dou Zhengrong didn't know if he was really angry about Lin Xiuzhi's visit to Lu Chen that day. He hardly spoke to Lin Xiuzhi since that day. Even the two children could see that their father Dou Zhengrong ignored their mother, and the relationship between the couple fell into an unprecedented stalemate.
Lin Xiuzhi didn't care about this at all, and even thought it was better this way, as the two of them would keep to themselves!
The only thing that surprised her was that although it was obvious that Dou Zhengrong was extremely disappointed with her current actions, he still took care of her three meals a day. He even asked her if she was feeling unwell when she coughed a few days ago, which was unprecedented.
Lin Xiuzhi sneered in her heart, and thought that Dou Zhengrong was a spineless man. She had treated him like this, she was just short of putting a green hat on his head, and he actually still cared about her?
What a useless man!
Because of this, Lin Xiuzhi naturally looked down on Dou Zhengrong even more, and at the same time she felt more at ease with her behavior as the eldest daughter of the Dou family.
However, just as she was lying in the room thinking about her future, she suddenly heard Dou Zhengrong's voice outside calling her out, saying that Meng Yinyin was here.
Her expression froze, and a cold light flashed in her eyes because of the three words "Meng Yinyin"!
Meng Yinyin!
It's all because of her!
If it weren't for her, Lu Chen would never have fallen in love with someone else. She is the woman who snatched Lu Chen away, hiding dishonestly in Lu Chen's house, and now she dares to come to his house?
Where did she get such a face!
When Lin Xiuzhi thought that it was because Meng Yinyin changed the plot of the original book that she ended up in this situation, she naturally hated her in her heart.
So she simply sat up from the bed and hurried to the yard.
She had already hated Meng Yinyin to death, and now when she saw her rosy and shiny face, and thought about the hard life she had lived in the Dou family, she almost wanted to tear Meng Yinyin apart with her bare hands.
"What are you doing here?"
Lin Xiuzhi stared at Meng Yinyin fiercely.
Now that she has broken off relations with Dou Zhengrong, she is no longer worried about how he will view her.
What about Meng Yinyin?
Lin Xiuzhi hated her in the first place, so it was impossible for her to pretend to be affectionate with her.
Lin Xiuzhi's cold expression and words successfully stunned Meng Yinyin. After all, the last time she saw Lin Xiuzhi was when she came to visit Lu Chen. Although Lin Xiuzhi's attitude was a little strange that time, she was still a normal person after all, and her attitude towards her was not that strange.
As for the time when Lu Chen came to Dou Zhengrong's house to discuss the matter with them, after he returned, he simply told Meng Yinyin about what happened after he left, and did not tell her too much about Lin Xiuzhi, so Meng Yinyin really didn't know that Lin Xiuzhi had changed drastically.
However, Meng Yinyin is not someone who will be bullied. Realizing that Lin Xiuzhi was so rude to her, she would not give her a good face.
Meng Yinyin also looked at Lin Xiuzhi with a cold face and said, "Of course you came here for something."
As for what it was, she had originally planned to talk it over with Lin Xiuzhi first, but seeing her like this, Meng Yinyin suddenly didn't want to talk to her anymore.
Dou Zhengrong saw that the two men were about to start cursing, so he could only stand up and speak.
"Meng Zhiqing, would you like to come in and sit down?"
Meng Yinyin is still angry now, but she thinks that her trip cannot be in vain, she must get something done, otherwise it will be a great loss!
So after thinking for a while, Meng Yinyin suddenly adjusted her expression in the next second, revealing a shy but happy smile, and said to the two of them, "It's actually nothing serious. I just came here to thank Comrade Dou for helping me last time. These are the thank-you gifts that Lu Chen and I prepared together. Comrade Dou, you must accept them."
Dou Zhengrong knew about this, but Lin Xiuzhi standing next to him didn't.
Hearing Meng Yinyin say this, Lin Xiuzhi frowned immediately, and her suspicious eyes swept back and forth between Meng Yinyin and Dou Zhengrong. But she couldn't help wondering in her heart, could it be that the relationship between Meng Yinyin and Dou Zhengrong is still there, but she was too anxious before and mistakenly thought that Meng Yinyin had already left the plot?
