Everyone saw the changes in Xu Li.
Even though she didn't admit it, Ji Ling believed that everyone present knew the truth.
What she wanted to see most was what Zhu Weidong's mood was, so after glancing at Xu Li lightly, Ji Ling's eyes fell on Zhu Weidong.
It turned out that Zhu Weidong was also looking at her with a deep gaze, and she couldn't tell what he was really thinking.
The next moment, the hand hanging by her side was held. The bony fingers were cold, but with enough strength to hold her hand tightly.
Ji Ling didn't pull it out this time.
Xu Li did not say anything, letting the room fall into silence. The stillness was only broken when the waiter brought in the dishes.
The dishes were served quickly. Ji Ling was already hungry, so after she started eating, Huang Man also joined in eating without hesitation.
Zhou Yuanbin and Zhu Weidong followed behind. The four of them ate. Xu Li stood and became the ignored one again.
Xu Li pursed her lips, turned and left.
This time, no one kept her.
After she left, Huang Man sighed deeply, "This person is finally gone. Being with her always makes me feel bad."
At this point, he looked at Zhou Yuanbin sympathetically, "You are so unlucky. How could you like such a person? And, there is even evidence. Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"I told you before, can you see such a wonderful scene today?" Zhou Yuanbin asked in a friendly manner.
Huang Man smiled evilly, "I really can't see it. You're right. It's more interesting to say it at the end. Then I can see her true face."
The two people communicated without any reservations. Ji Ling watched them talk with great interest and she would interject from time to time.
The four of them ate quickly and no one drank.
When they parted at the hotel entrance, Zhou Yuanbin apologized to Ji Ling again and also apologized to Zhu Weidong in person.
"I'm sorry that I dragged Ji Ling into this because of my personal affairs. I will resolve this matter as soon as possible."
Zhu Weidong asked directly, "How do you want to solve it?"
Zhou Yuanbin had already planned to leave, but when he suddenly heard Zhu Weidong talking, he was stunned for a moment and quickly replied.
"Engineer Zhu, are you going to ask me how to deal with Xu Li?"
"I just want to ask you how you handled the matter. I don't care what you and Xu Li think about it." Zhu Weidong was full of gunpowder.
Zhou Yuanbin said calmly, "I will give you a satisfactory answer."
"Then we'll wait for your news." Zhu Weidong nodded and put his arm around his wife's waist. "Please send Huang Man home safely."
"good."
The four people separated.
From beginning to end, Ji Ling never interrupted.
It wasn't until they got back to the car that Ji Ling asked him, "You were very irrational in getting angry at Zhou Yuanbin just now."
"Are you unhappy?"
Ji Ling looked at him straight in the eyes, "Yes, I am not happy. From the beginning to the end, you saw everything Xu Li did. Are you still questioning Zhou Yuanbin now? Zhou Yuanbin is the victim, and Xu Li is the one who did bad things behind the scenes. You are not targeting Xu Li, but going after Zhou Yuanbin instead. What are you doing? Are you feeling sorry for Xu Li?"
"I said it wasn't because of Xu Li."
"You keep saying that you didn't do it for Xu Li, then why? Because of the relationship between me and Zhou Yuanbin?" Ji Ling was able to rationally keep herself from getting angry when she started talking, but in the end, she couldn't help getting angry, "Zhu Weidong, I really can't understand what you want to do? You say it's not for Xu Li, but you protect her everywhere. You say you don't doubt the relationship between me and Zhou Yuanbin, but your actions and words are targeting me everywhere."
Ji Ling sneered and said that she didn't care about what happened that day. In the final analysis, it was still this reason.
As long as she was determined in her heart, what was the point of her explaining all that? The couple returned home in silence.
If there weren't elders at home, Ji Ling really wouldn't want to go home.
Not only do I have to go home, but I also have to force myself to face my family with a smile.
Fortunately, she didn't have to face Zhu Weidong. Zhu Weidong went to coax his daughter. Ji Ling talked to the elders for a while, then went back upstairs and called Miao Man to tell her what happened tonight.
When talking about Zhu Weidong's thoughts at the end, Ji Ling's mood became obviously much lower.
"Xiaoling, don't be so tense. If you're in a bad mood, you can go out and relax. I'm going out to do some business, so come with me." Miao Man was afraid that she would refuse. "You know, you're better at business than me. I don't have any experience, so you can tell me what's wrong."
Ji Ling laughed, "Don't be ridiculous. If you weren't capable, how could the company be so big now? I can't take leave. I can only leave on Friday night and come back on Sunday night. I have used up all my annual leave."
"That's easy. I'll arrange it. This weekend, you just pack your things and we'll drive away." Miao Man was very excited.
"You arrange it. I can leave after get off work on Friday."
With the agreement with Miao Man, Ji Ling felt much better after hanging up the phone. As for how the two of them could have a heart-to-heart talk with Zhu Weidong, Ji Ling felt that it was unnecessary.
Zhu Weidong just can't get over it, and no matter how others try to persuade him, it's useless.
Others' guidance is just like taking your pulse. Once you realize it yourself, the disease will be cured.
Ji Ling has lived two lives and understands this truth best.
At night, when Ji Ling went to bed, Zhu Weidong did not return to the room. She could guess to some extent that he was just feeling guilty and didn't know what to say, so he was avoiding her.
Ji Ling was tired after a long day, so she lay down and fell asleep early.
Downstairs, Niu Niu was taken away by Kong Siya and her husband. Mr. Zhu looked up at his eldest grandson and asked, "Why don't you go upstairs and rest?"
"Just go up."
Mr. Zhu, "Did you have a fight?"
Zhu Weidong: "No."
Mr. Zhu closed the book in his hand and said, "It's rare to have a few days' rest at home. Spend some time with your wife."
It was obvious that his grandson was worried, but as he was old enough, Grandpa Zhu did not ask him any further questions.
Back in the bedroom, Mr. Zhu was still mumbling to his wife, "Usually when Weidong comes back, the couple are inseparable. Did they have a fight this time?"
"You just realized it?" Mrs. Zhu took off her reading glasses. "Everyone in the family knows it, except you."
Mr. Zhu was stunned, "They really had a quarrel."
"Let him go. He is so old, but he can't even take care of his wife. Can we take care of him for the rest of his life?"
Hearing his wife's complaining tone, Zhu and his son were curious, "What happened? It seems that you are very dissatisfied with Weidong."
"It's wrong for a man to make his wife angry."
Mr. Zhu nodded, "That's right. That brat deserves to be ignored. I don't care about him."
