Chapter 656

~7 min read 1,348 words

One question, one answer.

One standing half-turned at the hallway entrance, one sitting on the sofa, confronting each other, their eyes full of thunder and lightning.

Their eyes were sharp, and the atmosphere was cold.

The two women were like needles against wheat awns, neither willing to submit to the other!

Just as Li Heng was preparing to speak to ease the atmosphere, just as he was preparing to maneuver, footsteps came from the stairwell again.

And the footsteps were chaotic; it seemed there was more than one person coming.

Hearing the movement, Zhou Shihe, who was at the hallway entrance, glanced down at the stairwell from a high position, then didn't think and turned back at the fastest speed.

Under the gaze of Li Heng and Song Yu, she entered the washroom.

Coming to the side of the washbasin, Zhou Shihe turned on the faucet, cupped two handfuls of clear water in her hands and splashed them on her face, washing away the tear stains on the corners of her eyes and face; then she did the same, washing away the tears on her collarbone. Finally, she took down the face towel that Mai Sui usually used and washed her face again.

After washing her face, she lowered her head to look at the collar soaked by tears, paused, and simply pushed her hair forward, using the tips of her hair to cover the wet collar.

Because the washroom door wasn't closed, Li Heng saw all of Zhou Gu Niang's series of actions, suddenly a bit dumbfounded, thinking to himself, who is coming?

To make Comrade Shihe react so strongly?

As time passed, the footsteps in the stairwell finally reached the second floor.

Li Heng looked closely, wow! Good fellow, he found that the person coming was actually Zhou's mother and Professor Yu.

Behind them followed Wei Xiaozhu.

No wonder!

It turned out it was Zhou's mother who came; no wonder Zhou Shihe had to wash away the evidence of her tears at the first opportunity, so as not to be discovered by her own mother.

If her tears were discovered by her mother, her relationship with Li Heng would be directly exposed, and it would be easy for people to guess that she had clashed with Song Yu here for more than an hour.

Zhou's mother walked in the front, looked around, but didn't find her daughter in the living room, and immediately couldn't help but ask Li Heng: "Li Heng, is Shihe not here with you?"

Li Heng pointed to the washroom, "She is, Auntie, she is in the washroom."

Zhou's mother turned to look toward the washroom, just in time to see her daughter walking out from inside.

Mother and daughter looked at each other, neither speaking for a while.

Zhou's mother looked at her daughter carefully for a long time, then looked at Song Yu without a trace, finally looked at Li Heng, and finally she didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, but warmly issued an invitation to Li Heng and Song Yu, "I heard from Manning that Li Heng, you and Shihe are on the same day, and today is also your 20th birthday, born in the same year, same month, and same day, which is really rare.

The dishes at home are ready, let's go eat together; the others are all here, just the three of you haven't come down, so I came over with Professor Yu to take a look."

Actually, not seeing her daughter home for more than an hour, Zhou's mother naturally had many doubts in her heart, but she wisely didn't ask, but tactfully pulled Professor Yu over.

As for Wei Xiaozhu, of course, she met her in the courtyard on the first floor, and then out of worry, she followed up.

Yesterday, she had already promised Zhou Gu Niang to attend the birthday banquet, and now with such a good opportunity to go down the slope, Li Heng naturally wouldn't let it go, and immediately agreed.

After agreeing to Zhou's mother, he leaned over and said to Song Yu in a negotiating tone: "It's mealtime, let's not keep people waiting, let's go eat something. I'll cook at home for dinner and treat everyone warmly."

Song Yu smiled beautifully and stood up with him: "Okay."

No matter how much she and Zhou Shihe clashed before. But in front of people, Song Yu would be very respectful to Li Heng and would give Li Heng a lot of face.

Man, man, sometimes face is more important than life; Song Yu naturally wouldn't hold him back in this regard and wouldn't make him embarrassed in front of people.

Yu Shuheng didn't say a word, looking at Zhou Shihe for a while, then looking at Song Yu for a while, thinking playfully in her heart: It seems Zhou Shihe has met her match; I just don't know who won and who lost just now?

Unlike Professor Yu, Wei Xiaozhu, who was hiding behind the crowd, was worried, worried for Shihe and worried for Li Heng. As for Song Yu, she wasn't familiar with her, so there was no emotional resonance.

However, Wei Xiaozhu was seeing Song Yu for the first time, and was shocked; no wonder Wanying said Song Yu and Shihe were evenly matched, it was indeed so, she was really too beautiful.

Seeing Li Heng and Song Yu agree, Zhou's mother scanned her daughter again without a trace, then greeted everyone with a smile and began to go downstairs.

Afterward, the group followed downstairs one after another.

Zhou Shihe walked at the very back, and Wei Xiaozhu specifically waited for her.

Until everyone left the small building at No. 26, Wei Xiaozhu found an opportunity to ask quietly: "What did you talk about? Why did you talk for so long?"

"We chatted about some daily life, I didn't expect to stay for so long either." Zhou Shihe smiled slightly.

Wei Xiaozhu originally wanted to say something, originally wanted to ask "Are you okay?", but swallowed the words when they reached her lips.

Wei Xiaozhu felt: from Shihe's perspective, she and Wanying didn't know about her relationship with Li Heng yet, so it was better not to rashly clarify it. Otherwise, it would be easy to make Shihe lose face.

After all.

After all, Li Heng's philandering was obvious to all. First there was Xiao Han, then Mai Sui, then Professor Yu, and now there was one more human ceiling Song Yu; all this vaguely indicated that the future of Shihe and Li Heng's relationship was still unknown? It was full of variables.

If Song Yu hadn't appeared, Wei Xiaozhu believed Shihe had a high probability of having the last laugh.

But today Shihe and Song Yu clashed for more than an hour; although she couldn't know the battle situation inside, it must have been quite tragic.

This also indirectly explained that Shihe had met a real opponent, and Shihe couldn't take down her rival in a short time, couldn't force Song Yu to retreat.

Returning to the small building at No. 27, Wei Xiaozhu exchanged glances with Bai Wanying, who was waiting at the gate, and after exchanging looks, Wei Xiaozhu shook her head.

Seeing Li Heng and Song Yu arrive together, Bai Wanying was a bit surprised, but then understood: it was probably Zhou's mother's credit, probably Li Heng hadn't given up on Shihe yet, probably Shihe lost today.

The reason Bai Wanying speculated that Shihe lost was very simple: if she were Song Yu, if she had traveled from afar and hadn't defeated Zhou Shihe, she definitely wouldn't have come to attend the birthday banquet.

Even, if Li Heng helped Shihe, she would have left directly, too lazy to watch the dog and bitch show affection.

However, even if Song Yu won, she probably occupied the opportunity of time, place, and people, right? She probably didn't win by much. Otherwise, Shihe would have come back long ago, and Li Heng wouldn't have dared to bring Song Yu over so blatantly; wouldn't that be openly inviting hatred?
