Substitute new wife: Mr. Pei, are you getting divorced today?

Chapter 716 You are like a little turtle

Half past ten in the evening.

Lu Chongli drove her near the community where she lived.

"Just park here. Our community is in front of us." Ling Zheng unbuckled her seat belt.

Lu Chongli turned his handsome face sideways and said, "You make me look like a very shameful man."

"Brother Lu... we are not real boyfriend and girlfriend," Ling Zheng hesitated before saying seriously.

Lu Chongli's feet sank, he hit the brakes, and said calmly, "That's right, if people find out that you are having an affair with a man, it will not be conducive to your finding a real boyfriend."

Ling Zheng bit her lip and turned pale, "Brother Lu, I told you that I don't want to find a boyfriend, let alone get married."

"Okay, I understand, you can go back."

Lu Chongli was inexplicably a little upset, and he knew that what he had just said was too much.

The two of them had long agreed to only address each other's needs, and he was indeed a bit aggressive just now.

Ling Zheng glanced at him and saw that his eyes were light and he looked like he didn't want to talk more.

She felt a little strange, feeling that Lu Chongli's temper today was not as gentle as before.

"Then...I'm leaving." Ling Zheng opened the car door.

"Wait a minute, send me your detailed address." Lu Chongli suddenly said.

Ling Zheng bit her lip and hesitated. Lu Chongli said with deep eyes, "Ling Zheng, I came all the way here and I have explained everything that needs to be explained. Can you please be more relaxed? Don't worry, I won't take the initiative to go without your permission." your home."

"...I'm sorry, I'll send it to you later."

Ling Zheng felt as if she had been hit hard with a stick.

She knew that her behavior might annoy Lu Chongli. Sometimes she also hated herself. She was not straightforward enough in life and always had random thoughts. Especially in front of him, she was even more cautious.

"Lingzheng, I have nothing to apologize for. I just hope you understand that I came all the way here because I care about you. If you are always evasive like this, as time goes by, those friends who really care about you will only be ignored by you. Push it far away." Lu Chongli said word by word.

"……it is good."

Ling Zheng sent him the address with trembling fingers before stepping out of the car.

The car stopped in place, and Ling Zheng waved to him before walking towards the community.

……

When I got home, the lights in the house had been turned off, and only the study light was still on.

She has been sleeping on the sofa bed in the study these days.

Opening the door and going in, Ling Hao was playing games in the room.

"Can you go back to your room and play, I'm going to bed." Ling Zheng said tiredly.

Ling Hao didn't even raise his head, "This is my study. I can play as long as I want. You can go to bed by yourself if you want."

Ling Zheng's face darkened, "In that case, you sleep here and I'll sleep in your room."

With a "pop" sound, Ling Hao stood up, looking extremely fierce in his body, "What qualifications do you have to sleep in my room? If you dare to sleep in my room, I will file a complaint with my parents."

"Ling Hao, mom is already seriously ill, can you be more sensible?" Ling Zheng's eyes showed boredom.

Ling Hao's eyes flashed with sarcasm, "Am I not sensible enough? Didn't you see that I went home to sleep every night during this period? In fact, there is nothing you can do if you want me to leave the study, as long as you recharge me one thousand Damn, Lingzheng, I know you made money, and you dated a rich man when you were in Su City. If I guessed correctly, did that rich man contact you tonight? He came to Su City. City, right? You lied to your parents and said you were going to meet your high school classmates, but in fact you were going to sleep with them."

Ling Zheng's expression changed, and she suddenly thought of the phone call she made to Lu Chongli before going out. Could it be that Ling Hao heard it?

"Don't talk nonsense. I don't have a boyfriend, and no man will come all the way from Sioux City for me. You want me to recharge your money. It's impossible. If you like to stay here, you can stay here. It's not a big deal for me. Go sleep in the living room."

Lingzheng simply hugged the quilt and went to the sofa.

Shicheng is extremely cold in winter.

She curled up into a ball.

Obviously I have experienced this kind of thing a lot, but I don't know why tonight, when Lu Chongli's gentle face flashed in my mind, my eyes felt sour inexplicably.

After tossing and turning for a while, she took out her mobile phone and sent Lu Chongli a message: [Have you arrived at the hotel? 】

Two minutes later, Lu Chongli sent a message: [No, I’m a little hungry. I’m looking for a late-night snack restaurant to eat. Do you know any delicious late-night snack restaurants here? 】

Lingzheng regretted that she wasn't careful enough, if she had known she would come back after eating with him just now.

[I don’t know, I didn’t have supper here in Shicheng. 】

She had never eaten it before. When she lived in Shicheng, she always used one dollar as two dollars.

Lu Chongli: [I’ll look for it online. If it tastes good, I’ll bring you to eat it next time. 】

Lingzheng: [Okay. 】

Lu Chongli: [I spoke harshly tonight. I'm sorry. I just hope you won't be so outspoken to me. In my heart, you are like a little turtle, always hiding yourself in a shell, thinking that you can protect yourself. In fact, the meat inside is very soft. 】

Lingzheng blinked her sour eyes and read the message over and over again.

……

The next day, Ling Zheng woke up to the sound of Ling's father's footsteps.

"Zhengzheng, why are you sleeping on the sofa?" Ling's father looked concerned, "Did Ling Hao stay up late playing games in your room last night? This bastard, I'm going to beat him up."

Father Ling quickly went to Ling Hao's room.

Soon Ling Zheng heard Ling's father beating and scolding from inside.

Lingzheng got up silently to make breakfast.

Originally she planned to leave after the New Year, but now she plans to go back with Lu Chongli in a few days.

It's not that she is indifferent, she doesn't even care about her biological mother, it's just that what if she comes back, there is no place for her in this family.

Especially after freezing on the sofa all night last night, she felt that her throat was uncomfortable.

During breakfast, Ling's father suddenly gave her two hundred yuan, "Zhengzheng, you go to the vegetable market in the morning to buy more vegetables. Mr. Xu will come to our house for dinner in the evening, so you can cook more of your specialty dishes."

Lingzheng frowned, "Dad, why does Mr. Xu always come to our house for dinner?"

Ling's mother's face sank, "What do you know? Mr. Xu comes to our house for dinner because he thinks highly of our family."

Ling's father glared at Ling's mother, and immediately smiled kindly at Ling Zheng and said, "Mr. Xu doesn't think much of our family. The main reason is that he likes to drink, and I can drink with him. Besides, this is not for Ling Hao's work." , would you like to accompany him a few more times? There is no other way. People at the bottom like us sometimes have no choice but to please the leaders above in order to survive. You will understand after you have just entered society not long ago and work for a few more years."

Lingzheng was silent for a moment. The last few words of Ling's father made her feel a little bit, "Okay, I'll go buy groceries in the morning."

"You're so good. No wonder people these days say it's better to have a daughter, but having a son will make people mad."

Ling's father gave Ling Hao a cold look.

Ling Hao said with a smile, "Dad, I will definitely earn a lot of money in the future to support you and mom in your retirement."

"It's better to rely on your sister than to rely on you."

Ling's father snorted and left. As he left, he secretly exchanged a look with Ling's mother.
