Su Jieyu raised her hand to wipe away her tears, took a deep breath, and didn't know what to do.
After returning to the office, Su Jieyu sat on the chair and looked at the tea bag that Jiang Xiachu had brought her on the table in a daze for a long time.
She has indeed been spending more time with Jiang Xiachu recently, but that was also because of training.
Jiang Xiachu dances in the main position, which is also the center of the stage. The audience can see her at a glance, so she has to put more thought into it.
However, he never expected that because he was so focused on the performance, his daughter would have such thoughts.
Thinking that she would not be able to train well in such a bad mood, Su Jieyu went home directly in the afternoon. She wanted to think carefully, calm herself down, and face everyone in the best condition.
-
Su Jieyu was lost in thought from time to time as she walked back.
These two days are the days when Meng Huaizhou will come back, and he estimates that he will stay at home for a few days.
In the alley, Su Jieyu looked down and saw that the setting sun made her shadow very long.
Su Jieyu's eyes were full of fatigue. She raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, trying to ease the headache.
When she reached the entrance of the alley where the Meng family lived, she stopped, forced herself to tidy up her messy hair, and gently patted her cheeks, trying to make herself look more energetic.
After calming herself down, she walked into the alley.
She had only taken two steps when she heard a burst of chattering.
A few middle-aged women brought their small stools and sat together at the front door, chatting about gossip in the alley.
This is a common scene. Originally, Su Jieyu had no intention of listening and was about to move forward to sit down. But suddenly, she heard news about her family and stopped instantly.
"Hey, have you heard about it?" A plump middle-aged woman asked. After she started talking, she seemed to realize something and quickly lowered her voice, looking at the neighbors in front of her with a mysterious look on her face.
"What?"
"Just tell me, why are you keeping me in suspense?"
The fat lady then continued, "These past few days, He Dayuan from the He family has been ill for some reason. He comes to our place every day, seemingly looking for Meng Huaizhou everywhere, like a thief. I was shocked when I saw him yesterday. I wonder what evil he is up to? Is he trying to extort money?"
Hearing Meng Huaizhou's name, Su Jieyu frowned and stepped aside without attracting their attention.
"Hey, Sister Li, we dare not say such things casually." The aunt of Old Xu's family frowned and gently patted the fat aunt's arm. "But I also find it strange. Why did He Dayuan come to me for no reason?"
"I heard from my husband that he seems to have caught some evidence against the Meng family. Look, Jieyu has been busy these days and rarely goes home. She has been staying in the art troupe and has not even seen the shadow of Meng Huaizhou. Maybe she was poached by someone at this time."
"Hasn't it been said that the two of them are just physically together but spiritually apart? I'm afraid they have no feelings for each other any longer."
"That's right. I saw them go out one after the other before. Meng Huaizhou didn't even want to walk with her, and he didn't even want to wait for Jieyu. As a neighbor, I know Jieyu's personality and character very well. It makes me feel sad to see that."
"The couple probably no longer love each other, and now they are just making do with their lives for the sake of their children."
"Jieyu is also a pitiful person..."
"Alas... every family has its own problems nowadays^"
Everyone was chatting away, one thing at a time.
Su Jieyu was standing not far away, and heard everything the aunts said clearly, with her brows tightly furrowed.
From what they said, did they mean that Meng Huaizhou had another woman? And this woman was related to He Dayuan...
Su Jieyu felt a buzzing in her head. Her eyes darkened and she thought about it carefully, but she still felt that it was unlikely.
No matter what, there is no way Meng Huaizhou could have anything to do with He Dayuan.
She was lost in thought, and when she turned around, she suddenly saw a dark shadow flash by, which scared her so much that she tried not to scream and almost fell to the ground accidentally.
Su Jieyu held onto the wall and staggered several steps before she could barely stand.
When she looked carefully, she could see the dark shadow in front of her.
He Dayuan?
Remembering the conversation between the aunts and grandmas just now, Su Jieyu immediately clenched her fists, looked at the man in front of her with a vigilant look.
The man was as thin as a bamboo pole, a little hunchbacked, with very dark skin, messy stubble on his face, and a pair of upturned triangular eyes that revealed a disgusting and vulgar look.
At this moment, he was standing at the corner, grinning.
Even though Su Jieyu had been a well-educated person since childhood, she still couldn't help herself when she saw He Dayuan's obscene smile and his mouth full of yellow teeth.
She held her breath, took a half step back, and was about to turn around and leave when she was stopped by He Dayuan.
"I've been looking forward to your return from the art troupe, Mrs. Meng." He Dayuan's voice was still dragging out, and he couldn't take back the smile on his lips.
Looking at He Dayuan pretending to be friendly, Su Jieyu frowned and felt cold all over.
Are you here to extort money?
"What's the matter?" Su Jieyu took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and spoke in a calm tone, but her slightly trembling voice still showed that she was a little nervous.
He Dayuan seemed a little abnormal, and she was really afraid that he would do something impulsive.
"Nothing, I just want to talk to you, Meng Huaizhou." He Dayuan said as he moved closer to Su Jieyu, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "We are neighbors, some things are too complicated, we still have to talk it out face to face and make it clear to each other, don't you think?"
