After Ji Ling's words came out, the room became noticeably quiet for a few seconds, and Zhu Weidong was also stunned for a moment.
In an instant, anger emerged on his face, "You got into trouble because of him, and now you are protecting him. What do you want me to think?"
"What do you mean, it's me who is at fault? Yes, something happened, and I should avoid suspicion. After all, Zhou Yuanbin and I were together. Even if nothing happened between the two of us, in your eyes, that's not good. This is what ordinary people think. Can we put aside these grudges and deal with things first? Wouldn't it be better to be more sensible at this time and find out the people behind it?" Ji Ling said so much in one breath and took a break. "We have been married for many years. , I didn’t know that I was such a person in your heart, with no trust at all?”
“I don’t distrust you.”
“Yes, you don’t distrust me.” These words are not convincing at all.
If you trust me, why are you so angry now? And the words that were spoken.
Ji Ling felt very uncomfortable. She didn't look at Zhu Weidong and said, "Okay, you go out to eat first. We both need to calm down now."
Talk too much and it will be wrong. In this case, she won’t say anything.
Zhu Weidong also knew that he needed to calm down, and he was indeed impulsive just now, "You should rest first."
He put down his words and went to the living room.
In the living room, Ji Jianhua and Wang Sanmei were making dumplings, and the quarrel in the bedroom was naturally overheard.
Ji Jianhua felt sorry for his sister and was picked up by Wang Sanmei twice before he rushed in. When he saw Zhu Weidong coming out, he couldn't hold it in anymore and called Zhu Weidong to go outside to talk.
Ji's family lived on the second floor. The two of them walked out of the corridor and stood talking not far from the unit door.
"Xiao Ling has just come back, and the situation is not yet stable. She didn't want this to happen. I hope you can be more tolerant of her. As for her and Zhou Yuanbin, you don't have to think too much. I know Xiao Ling's character. She Not that kind of person."
Zhu Weidong was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it. "Brother, I was impulsive just now. I will go back and apologize to Xiaoling later."
"Weidong, you are calmer than me, and you are better at doing things than me. You don't need to teach you when it comes to talking about these things. You know how to deal with it yourself. But I also understand your current mood. Which man doesn't care about his woman, and the other party dares to do this? The black hand may be trying to sow discord between you and your husband."
"I know." Zhu Weidong lowered his head in shame, but when he thought about Zhou Yuanbin being locked up alone with his wife and almost having an accident, and hearing his wife defending Zhou Yuanbin, he couldn't help but feel jealous.
"Xiao Ling and Zhou Yuanbin had contact. I heard that it was because of your apprenticeship, otherwise the two of them would not have known each other." Ji Jianhua clicked the last sentence, turned and left, "Let's go, let's eat dumplings."
Zhu Weidong followed.
Wang Sanmei was already cooking dumplings in the room. Seeing that the two people came in and nothing happened, she was relieved and asked Ji Jianhua to clean up the dishes.
“I’ll take some out first, and you can bring it to Xiaoling.”
"No, sister-in-law, I will eat with you." The door was opened and Ji Ling walked out. She walked to the dining table and sat down with a cold face without looking at Zhu Weidong.
Ji Jianhua said, “It’s good to eat dumplings together.”
Ji Ling didn't answer. Ji Jianhua laughed twice. He was unhappy that Zhu Weidong had just argued with his sister, but he still let him show it with a wink.
“Weidong, Xiaoling loves to be jealous. Pour some jealousy on her, and more.”
“No, I’ll do it myself.”
Zhu Weidong's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.
Ji Jianhua saw that his sister was angry, so he simply ignored her and hid in the kitchen.
Ji Ling said calmly, "It's okay, you didn't say anything. Besides, what you said was not wrong." Zhu Weidong:
The dumplings were served, stuffed with celery and meat, Ji Ling's favorite, and very juicy. Ji Ling had just eaten half a bowl of chicken cake, and still ate more than ten dumplings.
At the dinner table, Ji Jianhua and his wife saw that the atmosphere was so silent, so they took the initiative to find a topic. Zhu Weidong also knew that they had good intentions, and they cooperated and joined in a few sentences from time to time. Only Ji Ling remained silent.
Ji Ling put down her chopsticks after taking the last bite of dumplings. "I'm done eating. You guys eat slowly."
Finally, he said to Zhu Weidong alone, "We can't live here, so you should go back early. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."
Zhu Weidong held the chopsticks in his hand and said, "I can just sleep on the sofa."
Ji Ling, “It’s up to you.”
After saying that, Ji Ling turned around and entered the house.
Ji Jianhua was afraid that Zhu Weidong would have a hard time with him, "If the three bedrooms can accommodate you, you can sleep in the guest room."
Zhu Weidong hummed, lowered his head and ate silently.
Wang Sanmei shook her head at her husband, and Ji Jianhua ignored it. After the meal, Zhu Weidong checked into the guest room under Ji Jianhua's arrangement.
Before going to bed, Ji Jianhua looked at him and was speechless. He turned around and left without saying the last word.
Zhu Weidong was also full of words. He wanted to talk to his wife, but he didn't know where to start. After his wife became angry, the unhappiness in his heart disappeared, and the jealousy disappeared, leaving only endless regrets.
Tossing and turning on the bed, Zhu Weidong sat up and softly went to the living room, found the phone and called Zhu Yaowu.
Zhu Yaowu had already fallen asleep and was woken up in the middle of the night. "Brother, what's the matter?"
“How is Zhou Yuanbin doing there?”
Even though they found someone in the evening, Zhu Yaowu and others still went to Zhou Yuanbin's place.
Zhu Weidong never asked. Instead, he woke up for half the night and felt that his wife was right. He not only had to admit his mistake, but also told his wife with actions that he really knew he was wrong.
"Zhou Yuanbin is in the hospital. Someone from above has intervened. He said that he has used banned drugs in normal times, but he is now awake. He said that he has never used banned drugs in normal times and was framed. Brother Wei Kun is being watched and said Please notify me as soon as there is any news."
“You come here and take me to the hospital now. I want to talk to him in person.”
“Brother, is it so late?”
"right."
“There are people from the government keeping an eye on me, but now I can’t see anyone in the past, so I have to think of some way. It’s so late now, so let’s do it tomorrow.”
“I’ll take a taxi there myself.”
"No, no, no, no, I'll pick you up." Zhu Yaowu muttered, "Sister-in-law has just found me. If you lose yourself again, wait for me and come downstairs in half an hour."
The two brothers made an appointment, and Zhu Weidong felt at ease. He got up and went to his wife's house, only to find that the door was locked, so he turned and left.
He walked out of the house, then opened the door of Ji Ling's room from the inside, and Ji Ling walked out. She was wearing clothes, and she didn't look like she was sleeping. She went out with her heels on.
She relaxed her pace and stood in the corridor, watching Zhu Weidong walk to the entrance of the community, then stood by the building until he was picked up by a car, and then turned back upstairs.
