Chapter 221 He hesitates to speak
Chu Tian heard this, a hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, replaced by a more fierce look, "Okay! I'll do as you say! I don't believe that I can't cure her, a widow!"
A few days later, a piece of news spread like wildfire in the courtyard: Qin Huairu ran away with the child and took away all the Jia family's savings.
"I told you, Qin Huairu is not an easy person to deal with!"
"That's right. She looks so weak, but she's actually very scheming!"
"Poor Jia family! They were already pitiful enough, but now it's even worse!"
……
People in the courtyard were talking about it, full of contempt and ridicule for Qin Huairu's behavior, but no one noticed that the expression on Jia Zhang's face, in addition to sadness and anger, also concealed a hint of imperceptible... pride?
"Mom, don't cry. This is all my fault. I didn't take good care of Huairu and let her..." Jia Dongxu said with red eyes and choked.
"Crying! What's the use of crying! Everyone has run away and the money is gone. How can I live?" Jia Zhang slapped her thigh suddenly and howled to the sky. The sound was so shrill that it seemed to blow the roof off the house.
"It's all Chu Tian's fault! It was him, he was the one who seduced Huairu, made her abandon her husband and children, and took away our family's money!" Jia Zhang suddenly pointed outside the door and yelled hysterically.
"What? Chu Tian?" Jia Dongxu was shocked. He could never have imagined that this matter was actually related to Chu Tian.
"It's him! That night, I saw with my own eyes that he sneaked into Huairu's room and gave Huairu a large sum of money!" Jia Zhang became more and more excited as she spoke, and her saliva sprayed on Jia Dongxu's face.
Jia Dongxu was stunned. Although he was stupid, he was not completely brainless. He knew that with his family's financial situation, Chu Tian had no reason to seduce Qin Huairu, and it was even more impossible for him to give money to their family for no reason.
"Mom, are you mistaken? Director Chu...why did he do this?" Jia Dongxu asked puzzledly.
"Why? Why else! Of course it's because..." Jia Zhangshi stopped talking halfway through. A trace of panic flashed across her face. She realized that she almost let the cat out of the bag.
"Why?" Jia Dongxu asked, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Jia Zhang's eyes flickered, and she stammered, "Nothing...Anyway, he seduced Huairu and caused our family to be destroyed!"
Seeing Jia Zhang's evasive attitude, Jia Dongxu became more suspicious, so he decided to go to Chu Tian in person to find out the truth.
He dragged his lame leg and limped to the steel mill, found Chu Tian's office, but was told that Chu Tian was not there.
"Where is Director Chu?" Jia Dongxu asked persistently.
"This...we don't know either. Director Chu didn't say." The office staff answered perfunctorily.
Jia Dongxu left the steel mill disappointed. He walked aimlessly on the street, feeling confused and angry. He didn't know what to do or who to trust.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a familiar figure, was that... Qin Huairu?
Jia Dongxu froze in place, rubbing his eyes, wondering if he was hallucinating. But when he looked again, the figure disappeared into the crowd.
Did he see it wrong? Jia Dongxu wondered in his heart, but that figure and that walking posture were clearly Qin Huairu!
He returned to the courtyard in a daze. As soon as he entered, he saw Jia Zhang sitting in the yard, eating melon seeds and chatting with neighbors. There was no sadness or anger on her face. She clearly looked gloating.
"Mom, what's wrong with you..." Jia Dongxu hesitated to speak. He didn't know how to start the question.
"What's wrong? You still remember to come back? I thought you eloped with your good wife!" Jia Zhang glanced at him and said sarcastically.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Huairu..."
"What's wrong with her? Isn't she just a fickle bitch? She had a good life but she ran away with a strange man and took away all the money in the family. And you still have the nerve to speak for her!" Jia Zhang suddenly stood up and pointed at Jia Dongxu's nose and cursed.
Jia Dongxu was speechless after being scolded. He opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to start. He knew in his heart that Jia Zhang was deliberately provoking him, but he just fell for it.
"Mom, please stop talking. I know I was wrong. It's all my fault. I'm incompetent and didn't take good care of Huairu, letting her..." Jia Dongxu lowered his head and choked up.
"Do you know you're wrong? Where did you go wrong? Your mistake is that you're too cowardly! You're so useless! Chu Tian just beckoned his finger and your wife ran away happily. What use are you to?" Jia Zhang became more and more excited as she spoke, and her saliva sprayed on Jia Dongxu's face.
"Chu Tian? What does this have to do with Chu Tian?" Jia Dongxu looked confused. He couldn't figure out how this matter was related to Chu Tian.
"How can it be unrelated? That night, I saw him enter Huairu's room with my own eyes and give Huairu a large sum of money! If he hadn't seduced Huairu, how could Huairu abandon you and the child and run away with someone else!" Jia Zhang shouted at the top of her lungs.
Jia Dongxu felt a buzzing in his head, as if ten thousand bees were buzzing in his ears. He staggered back a few steps, sat down on the ground, and stared blankly ahead.
He could never have imagined that his wife, whom he treated wholeheartedly, would actually betray him, and that Chu Tian, whom he once regarded as a benefactor, would be the culprit of all this!
He felt as if his heart was cut by a knife, and it hurt so much that he couldn't breathe. He suddenly remembered the familiar figure he saw on the street. Could it be that Qin Huairu? Could it be that she really didn't run away, but was with Chu Tian?
He wants to find Chu Tian, he wants to ask him clearly, he wants to know what is going on!
Jia Dongxu was like an enraged bull, charging down the street with red eyes. His mind was in a mess, with Qin Huairu's voice and smile, Chu Tian's hypocritical smile, and Jia Zhang's sarcastic curses flashing through his mind like a movie.
Chu Tian, Chu Tian! It's Chu Tian again!
Why did he always get all the good things? Why did he have to stab me when I was in such a bad situation? The more Jia Dongxu thought about it, the angrier he became. He hated Chu Tian so much that he wanted to cut him into pieces. He ran all the way and unknowingly ran to the door of Chu Tian's house.
Looking at the two-story building in front of him, with red bricks and green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, which looked particularly imposing in the gray courtyard, Jia Dongxu became even more angry. He slammed the vermilion door hard, making a loud "bang bang bang" sound, startling several pigeons in the courtyard and making them flap their wings and fly into the sky.
"Who is it? Why are you making so much noise in broad daylight?" An impatient voice came from the yard.
