Seeing the man walking further away, Qin Mingqian turned around and looked at Su Jieyu behind him, and said in a slow tone: "Ayu, don't be afraid, it's okay. This kind of scoundrel will be punished."
Su Jieyu's eyes were red, and her emotions eased a little. She nodded gently: "Brother Qin, thank you for helping me just now."
Qin Mingqian shook his head gently, his eyes full of concern: "We are old neighbors, there is no need to say thank you or not. What happened to you? How come I just came back and encountered you and ran into this bad thing."
Su Jieyu shook her head. "I don't know why he suddenly became like this. I don't know him very well."
If she had to talk about the relationship, she knew him because of Jiang Hongyan, but she only knew his name and appearance and knew nothing else about him.
Su Jieyu was in a bad mood, so she was not in a good mood. After chatting with Qin Mingqian for a while, she went straight home.
Qin Mingqian had just returned from abroad and had a lot of things to deal with and arrange, so he agreed immediately.
Su Jieyu returned home quickly.
When she first stepped into the yard, her steps were still a little unsteady. The crazy look of He Dayuan just now kept appearing in her mind. The lingering feeling of fear followed her like a shadow, clinging to her tightly.
Su Jieyu couldn't help but shiver.
Su Jieyu found it a little hard to understand when she thought of He Dayuan's carefree attitude.
She had no idea how Jiang Hongyan could fall for a scum like him and stay with him for so many years. She couldn't imagine how Jiang Hongyan could survive facing such a scoundrel.
She was in a trance and didn't recover for a long time.
He Dayuan said that Jiang Hongyan and Meng Huaizhou were having an affair. She felt extremely embarrassed just thinking about it, and it seemed like he was making it up.
She and Jiang Hongyan had been good friends for many years, and she had witnessed herself and Meng Huaizhou being together until they got engaged and married.
Such rumors sound ridiculous no matter how you listen to them.
"Madam, you're back!" Aunt Zhang's voice quickly broke Su Jieyu's wild thoughts.
Aunt Zhang came over hurriedly, her eyes filled with worry and heartache.
My wife has been busy in the art troupe for who knows how many days and has not been home for a long time. Now that she has finally come back, she looks so haggard and weak again.
The more Aunt Zhang looked at her, the more distressed she felt, and her eyes were full of concern.
Moreover, a few days ago, she had witnessed with her own eyes the scene of Meng Huaizhou and Jiang Hongyan getting along with each other.
Thinking of this, Aunt Zhang felt even more complicated, and even when she saw the woman in front of her, she felt a little guilty.
She had been with her wife for so long, but she couldn't even tell her wife about such things.
Seeing Aunt Zhang frowning, Su Jieyu smiled and patted her hands, a smile on her lips, "What's wrong? You have been in a daze today, what happened?"
Aunt Zhang shook her head. "It's okay, Madam. The meal is just ready. Do you want to eat something?"
After she finished speaking, Aunt Zhang thought for a moment and added, "The master is here too."
After saying that, she turned around and went back to work without disturbing Su Jieyu again.
Sure enough, after hearing the news from Meng Huaizhou, Su Jieyu was stunned for a moment and did not move, recalling what He Dayuan had just said in her mind.
When she walked into the house, she saw Meng Huaizhou sitting at the dining table, eating leisurely.
She hadn't seen Meng Huaizhou for a long time, and when she saw him now, she felt inexplicably embarrassed.
The chandelier above the dining table cast a dim light, illuminating his profile.
He was still as handsome as ever, with thin lips slightly pursed under his high nose bridge, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his manners were exceptionally elegant. If it were in the past, Su Jieyu would definitely be infatuated and lost in thought when looking at this face.
But now, looking at Meng Huaizhou's face, she only felt extremely cold.
"You came back too late and didn't tell me in advance. The food is cold." After a moment, Meng Huaizhou spoke in a light tone without raising his head, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.
Su Jieyu felt her heart skip a beat and her eyes instantly turned red.
She glanced at the food on the table which had hardly been touched, then looked at Meng Huaizhou who had almost finished eating. Thinking of everything she had just suffered outside, the grievance and sadness in her heart surged up all at once, making her feel very distressed.
We both went home, but I was bullied, slandered and frightened outside, while he was sitting here leisurely eating without saying a single nice word.
Meng Huaizhou didn't seem to notice Su Jieyu's abnormality. He slowly put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief beside him, then stood up and walked straight upstairs. From beginning to end, he didn't say another word.
Watching his leaving back, Su Jieyu's body stiffened instantly. She just stood there blankly, tears of grievance welling up in her eyes.
It was clear that when they were together before, Meng Huaizhou promised her that he would take good care of her. Why does it seem like nothing is going on now?
What do those promises and vows mean?
She still remembered that many years ago, when they had just gotten married not long ago, there was one time when she cooked a meal herself and went to Meng Huaizhou's office with joy, intending to give him a surprise.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw a young female comrade standing by the desk, talking and laughing with Meng Huaizhou.
The female comrade had pretty features. Although she wasn't a great beauty, she was pretty good looking.
What impressed her most was that the female comrade had beautiful handwriting with a fountain pen. At that time, she was standing at the door of the office, listening to Meng Huaizhou praising her beautiful handwriting generously over and over again, without feeling bored.
But every time he faced her, he was never so patient.
She took care of all the affairs of the family, but Meng Huaizhou could not see anything. He only remembered one of her shortcomings and forgot her many strengths.
Now, the trivialities of life and his indifference have already worn away her enthusiasm bit by bit.
Later, Meng Huaizhou always blamed her for being too cold, but never thought about his own reasons.
It was obvious that all of this was caused by him.
Su Jieyu looked at Aunt Zhang who followed with a worried look on her face, and forced a smile, waved her hand and said, "Aunt Zhang, go and do your work, don't worry about me, I'm fine."
Seeing Su Jieyu's expression, Aunt Zhang guessed that she had heard the rumors outside. She sighed helplessly and advised, "Madam, please take care of yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me."
Su Jieyu nodded and sat down on the chair beside the dining table, "I understand."
Aunt Zhang looked at Su Jieyu, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and finally stepped back.
Su Jieyu sat at the dining table, looking at the food in front of her, but she had no appetite at all. Thinking of every little thing that happened over the years, she felt heartbroken.
She did not educate her daughter well and her relationship with her husband was not harmonious.
She is now heartbroken and always feels that her love has been given in vain.
