Chapter 80 - 80 Break
80 Break
Sister Song’s husband and a few friends went out for a drink, but he was used to it. Even if he didn’t go home, he still had a place to drink.
Liang Wen sat on the sofa alone and watched TV. After a while, he received a call and was about to leave.
“You haven’t eaten yet, and you’re leaving?” Sister Song stopped him. She had prepared a table full of good wine and food.
“A friend is looking for me. You guys eat,” Liang Wen said.
“Who is it?” Qu Zhi shot him a murderous look. You don’t appreciate other people’s kind intentions at all, and you still want to go out to eat? How good could a restaurant outside be?
“It’s Li Guo, it’s a good time to discuss business.” Liang Wen didn’t dare to meet Qu Zhi’s eyes and left with his head lowered.
“Look, your Liang Wen is busy with work during the new year. He’s so motivated!” Sister Song nudged Qu Zhi with her elbow.
What business was there to talk about during the new year?
Qu Zhi sneered. It was just two men who wanted to go out and play.
However, she couldn’t be angry on the surface. Sister Song and Aunt Hui were still here. It would be too willful to turn against them just like that. If there was anything, they could talk about it when they got back. She, Qu Zhi, had a lot of patience and a good memory!
In the afternoon, she talked and laughed with Sister Song as usual. They discussed their plans for the next year and even asked Lin He to come over to play in a few days.
However, when Liang Wen returned home that night, he realized that the atmosphere at home was not right.
“Qu Zhi, where are my slippers?” He flipped the small shoe rack inside out many times, but he could not find his slippers.
Chuchu stuck her head out from her small room. “Mommy is angry!”
Liang Wen knew what to do. Qu Zhi’s memory was one of the best. She would remember clearly what he had done wrong in a few weeks’ time, and she could even continue to scold him.
Liang Wen had no choice but to take off his shoes and come in wearing socks.
The bedroom door was tightly shut. He knew that he would probably have to sleep on the sofa again today. Just as he was about to take off his clothes and take a bath, Qu Zhi walked out of the room and threw his pillow at him, not even looking at him.
“What’s wrong?” Liang Wen was also a little annoyed. “So what if I go out to eat? So what if I take a break? It’s the new year, why must we make things so unpleasant?”
Qu Zhi ignored him.
Her heart was also burning with anger, but she didn’t want to make any noise. Sisi and Aunt Hui had just fallen asleep, so she didn’t want to disturb the child.
However, when he saw that Qu Zhi wasn’t angry, Liang Wen felt that there was a chance.
Chuchu opened a crack at the door as wide as her eyes. She raised her eyebrows at her father and mouthed exaggeratedly, “Apologize!”
He could only pull a long face and ask again, “What’s wrong?”
Qu Zhi rolled her eyes at him. “You know it yourself.”
Other people had worked so hard to entertain him. It was fine if he didn’t cooperate, but he left after one move for a so-called friend? How impolite!
Qu Zhi was filled with anger. Actually, Liang Wen was always like this every New Year. Although he wanted to go back to her hometown with her, he would go out with a call from a friend and wouldn’t eat dinner. He was very arrogant and always talked about work, making it seem like he was working very hard. In fact, he was just eating and drinking outside, so he didn’t deserve any sympathy.
In the past, Qu Zhi’s heart would still ache for him, but after knowing how free and unrestrained he was outside, she was only left with a cold heart.
Just like that, he left her and the children and the trivial matters at home. Huang Qing ordered her around. When the child was crying, he pretended not to hear nor see, and took a detour.
Liang Wen was used to this and had long forgotten about the incident from that afternoon. He rubbed his chin and looked at Qu Zhi with a serious expression. “I really forgot.”
Qu Zhi really wanted to point at his nose and scold him, but she suppressed her anger. “Sleep by yourself.”
Chuchu slapped her head in despair. He really didn’t know how to coax girls.
“I was wrong.” Liang Wen could only lower his head.
“What did you do?”
“I’m wrong.”
Qu Zhi laughed in anger, but since he had admitted his mistake, her anger was reduced by half.
“Where did he go with Li Guo?”
Liang Wen stammered and couldn’t say anything. “Just… have a drink.”
His face was indeed red, and he reeked of alcohol and smoke.
“What else?” Qu Zhi rummaged through the pocket of his coat and saw some cards with air conditioner advertisements. It was obvious that he didn’t know the people who were with him, so he was most likely at the karaoke.
“I’m just taking a break.” He was still being stubborn.
Qu Zhi glanced at Liang Wen but didn’t say anything. She threw him a pillow and went back to the room to sleep.
