Chapter 389 What's Wrong with Shen Yumo
After returning home, Cheng Xuyuan boiled a pot of water and made himself a cup of hot tea.
Cheng Xuyuan feels very comfortable living in the Overseas Chinese Apartment. There is no need for coal stoves here and the gas pipeline is very convenient.
At this time in the past, Cheng Xuyuan would be writing at his desk, but at this moment, he was staring blankly in the direction where Shen Yumo left.
In his mind, all he could see was what happened when Shen Yumo left.
Did she really come to me just to borrow some overseas remittance vouchers?
Given her family's financial situation, it shouldn't be a big problem for her to get some overseas remittance vouchers.
Even if there were no overseas remittance vouchers, the various bills needed to buy watches would definitely not be a problem for the Shen family.
Is there something else she wants to talk to me about? She just doesn't want to say it.
But what could she want from me?
Cheng Xuyuan was puzzled.
Cheng Xuyuan drank the tea in the cup in one gulp. He knew that no matter how much he guessed and struggled, he could not figure out what was wrong with Shen Yumo.
If you want to know what Shen Yumo encountered, there is only one way, and that is to ask someone.
Looking for Shen Yulin?
Cheng Xuyuan shook his head. He didn't think that he and Shen Yulin could still be friends in the future.
As for Shen Yushu, Cheng Xuyuan felt that the possibility seemed a little higher, but did he really know?
Hu Chunli? Thinking of Shen Yumo, the eldest sister-in-law, Cheng Xuyuan felt that according to her personality, she should maintain a good relationship with him.
But her relationship with Shen Yumo seemed average, so the possibility that she knew was not very high.
The person who might really know the truth should be Zhang Dening.
The two of them are good friends.
Instead of worrying about it here, it would be better to ask Zhang Dening what is going on.
Cheng Xuyuan made up his mind, quickly threw aside the worries in his mind, then went to the desk and started writing.
Now, writing at the desk has become a hobby of Cheng Xuyuan. He feels uncomfortable if he doesn't write one day.
What he is writing now is "The Number One Restaurant in the World" which he promised to Mr. Wan.
He promised Mr. Wan that he could finish writing the script in one month, but the ending of "Zhu Xian" slowed him down a lot in this regard, and now he needs to speed up the progress.
Fortunately, he remembered the contents of the script clearly.
Without thinking, copying books becomes very fast.
After lunch the next day, Cheng Xuyuan rode his bicycle to an alley two miles west of the Yenching Writers Association compound.
He once helped Zhang Dening deliver something, so he knew where Zhang Dening's home was.
The slum is very lively because there are so many people living there.
However, as a stranger who suddenly broke in, Cheng Xuyuan was still very conspicuous in the eyes of many people.
He had just arrived in the yard when he met two or three people who asked him what he was doing.
When they heard that he was looking for Zhang Dening, they enthusiastically showed him the location of Zhang Dening's home.
An aunt in her fifties or sixties with gray hair, when she heard that he was looking for Zhang Dening, looked him up and down with a scrutinizing look.
He looked as if he was estimating the relationship between him and Zhang Dening.
"I'm Editor Zhang's colleague, and the company has something to discuss with him." Facing such scrutinizing eyes, Cheng Xuyuan had to lie.
After hearing this, the aunt finally stopped looking at Cheng Xuyuan.
However, this also made Cheng Xuyuan a little frightened.
Soon, Cheng Xuyuan saw Zhang Dening who was picking vegetables in the yard. Zhang Dening was wearing home clothes and his hair was casually combed together, looking very lazy.
Zhang Dening was stunned when he saw Cheng Xuyuan coming with a cart.
She never thought that Cheng Xuyuan would come to see her.
However, when she saw Cheng Xuyuan, she didn't know why she thought of her good friend who had been a little abnormal in the past few days.
"Hey, isn't this the great writer Cheng? Aren't you supposed to be busy hanging out with your girlfriend right now? Why are you here?"
Zhang Dening has always regarded Cheng Xuyuan as a friend, but her concern for Shen Yumo makes her words feel offensive.
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan was speechless.
I haven't offended this elder sister, but she came up to me and stabbed me. It seems that she is probably trying to stand up for Shen Yumo.
But this divorce is not my fault! Thinking of this, I felt relieved. Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "De Ning, did you eat chili this morning? Otherwise, why is it so choking!"
Cheng Xuyuan's words made Zhang Dening feel angry. She put down the food in her hand and glared at him, "Cheng Xuyuan, you came to my house, not to quarrel with me, right?"
Before Cheng Xuyuan could speak, he heard someone in the room say, "De Ning, your friend is here to see you, how do you talk?"
As these words were spoken, a woman who looked to be in her fifties and had a thin face walked out.
She is not tall and wears ordinary clothes. In terms of appearance, she is 40% similar to Zhang Dening.
This should be Zhang Dening's mother. Cheng Xuyuan immediately greeted her: "Hello, Auntie. I am Zhang Dening's good friend. My name is Cheng Xuyuan."
"She has always disliked me and has always been sarcastic to me whenever we meet."
"You must persuade her. Girls must be gentle."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan's teasing complaints, Zhang Dening wanted to throw the food in his hand at this guy's face.
I just said a few words to him, but this guy actually started complaining to my mother when he saw her. How hateful.
Before she could speak, she heard her mother say, "De Ning, talk to your friend nicely."
At this point, her mother glanced at Cheng Xuyuan and said with a smile: "Xiao Cheng, what do you do for a living?"
"Auntie, I'm still a student at Yenching University." Cheng Xuyuan answered honestly.
Hearing that Cheng Xuyuan was studying in Yanjing, Zhang Dening's mother nodded gently and said, "Xiao Cheng, so you and Dening are schoolmates."
"Did you meet at school?"
Seeing that his mother asked too many questions, Zhang Dening couldn't help it.
"Mom, when I graduated, he hadn't even started school yet."
At this point, Zhang Dening put down the dish in his hand and said, "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"De Ning, your friends are here, how can you be so fierce? Go and get a glass of water." Zhang Dening's mother said, "Oh, there is brown sugar in the sugar jar at home, add some to Xiao Cheng's water."
Zhang Dening felt depressed. Not only did he have to pour water for this guy, but he also had to pour brown sugar water for him. It was really abominable.
Sugar must be bought with sugar coupons! However, facing her mother's gaze, although she was somewhat reluctant, she finally walked towards the house obediently.
When Zhang Dening poured out the water, he saw Cheng Xuyuan already sitting on the stool where he had just picked vegetables, chatting very happily with his mother.
This guy is really abominable! Cheng Xuyuan chatted with Zhang Dening's mother for a while, and then said to Zhang Dening: "De Ning, I came here this time because of Shen Yumo's matter."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan talking about Shen Yumo, Zhang Dening rolled his eyes and said, "What's the matter? You've already divorced her, so why are you still clinging to her?"
"Cheng Xuyuan, I don't think you are that kind of person!"
When Cheng Xuyuan came to find Zhang Dening, he had somewhat expected this situation.
So when Cheng Xuyuan heard Zhang Dening's words, he was not angry, but said calmly: "De Ning, we are all friends."
"Others don't know why we are getting divorced, but don't you know?"
Listening to Cheng Xuyuan's question, although Zhang Dening was willing to stand on the side of his good friend, he also knew that Cheng Xuyuan had done nothing wrong regarding the divorce.
On the contrary, the one who was really in the wrong in this matter was the Shen Yumo family.
"Okay, stop talking about these useless things." Zhang Dening looked at Cheng Xuyuan and urged him a little impatiently: "What do you want to say? Hurry up and tell me."
"Last night, Shen Yumo came to me. She said that a friend of hers was getting married and needed overseas remittance vouchers, so she asked me to borrow 200 yuan." Cheng Xuyuan said in a deep voice, "Do you know about this?"
Shen Yumo went to Cheng Xuyuan to borrow money?
How is this possible!
But Cheng Xuyuan would not come to him with something that did not exist, which meant that this was a true story.
If it's true, then...
"I don't know, but she ran to you to borrow money. This... this shouldn't be possible!" Zhang Dening understood Shen Yumo's temper.
She looks very gentle from the outside, but in fact, she is very strong.
It was simply impossible for her to borrow money from Cheng Xuyuan, who had just divorced.
"I also find it strange and a little worried, so I came to ask you." Cheng Xuyuan picked up the water next to him and took a sip. A sweet feeling immediately surged into his heart.
It was indeed sugar water.
Seeing Zhang Dening's puzzled look, Cheng Xuyuan continued, "Dening, you and Shen Yumo are together every day. Do you think she is different these days?"
"Difference? I didn't notice."
"She goes to work every day and leaves work every day. She works as hard as ever. As for other things, there is nothing else!"
Zhang Dening thought as she spoke, but she really couldn't think of what was different about her good friend.
Just when Cheng Xuyuan was a little disappointed and thought that he had come here for nothing, he heard Zhang Dening say, "By the way, she seems to be feeling a little unwell these days."
"Not only did I vomit frequently, but there were several times when I fell asleep while reading the manuscript in my hand!"
"Of course, this has something to do with the manuscript not being very good, but she has never had such a problem before."
"I even joked with her and asked her if she was pregnant."
"But she and you are divorced, and you two have been in this state all the time, how could she be pregnant?"
"Who is she going to get pregnant with?"
Zhang Dening's words immediately made Cheng Xuyuan's expression become solemn.
Zhang Dening didn't know what happened between them, but he knew very well that they didn't take any protective measures that night.
Pregnancy! Is Shen Yumo pregnant?
If it wasn't for this kind of thing, why would she be waiting for him at the door of his house? Would she really give up her self-esteem and come to his house on her own initiative for 200 overseas remittance coupons? Cheng Xuyuan's expression became solemn as he thought about it.
