Chapter 7 He is very good, but he just doesn’t love me
Those two years were the lowest point in his life.
I lost my lover, my career, my health, and almost my life.
Li Zao dropped out of school to take care of him day and night.
At that time, he had a bad temper and didn't want to see people. When relatives and friends came to visit him in the hospital, he would scold him and leave.
Only Li Zao could endure his temper and would fight with him in a battle of wits and courage, trying every means to arouse his fighting spirit for life.
For his sake, Li Zao learned a lot about the massage techniques from the rehabilitation doctor. Even the doctor said that Li Zao was indispensable for his recovery so quickly and well.
Thinking about it now, those two years were the time when their relationship was closest.
Later, he recovered and was discharged from the hospital, and returned to the Lu family.
The more Lu family there are, the more conflicts there will be.
He really didn't know how to handle matters between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so he took Li Zao and moved out to live alone.
Aunt Ling also followed them here at that time.
On the second floor, Li Zao was packing his luggage in the cloakroom, recalling the past in his mind.
When she was happy for Lu Xiangning, the Lu family regarded her as a treasure, but after Lu Xiangning recovered, the Lu family regarded her as a piece of grass.
What made her sad was not her mother-in-law's making things difficult, but her husband's turning a blind eye.
Lu Xiangning's consistent style is that every time he smells the smoke between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he will pull her away.
At first, Li Zao comforted herself that her husband was protecting her.
But in fact, she couldn't refute once she left. If she didn't refute her mother-in-law, she would push her further. It seemed that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't have any quarrel, but in fact, she was the only one who was scolded and wronged.
This is not maintenance, it's that he doesn't care about her feelings at all.
After a few times, Lu Xiangning simply took her out of the Lu family.
She still remembers the joy of moving to Runyuan. She thought that their world for two was about to come.
However, after recovering, Lu Xiangning devoted himself to work and became busier and busier.
She resumed her studies and was busy.
Runyuan is said to be their home, but in fact it is more like a hotel, just a place where they stay and eat.
However, none of the above is enough to shake her heart to be his wife. What really shakes her is his heart for others.
Li Zao was rummaging around in the closet, but there was nothing left to deal with. When she married him, she had a breeze in her sleeves. He bought everything here. She couldn't even capture his heart. Why did she take away so many clothes?
, as long as it’s enough to wear.
The cell phone suddenly remembered that it was a call from Su Kui.
Li Zao slid it, clicked on the speakerphone, and placed the phone on the low cabinet in the middle.
"Zao'er, how was the conversation? Do you want me to pick you up?"
"Oh, it's hard to explain. Forget it, it's very late today. I just want to pack some changes of clothes and take them away."
"Then I will pick you up tomorrow morning?"
"No, there aren't many things, just a small suitcase. I can go there by myself tomorrow."
Outside the door, Lu Xiangning, who had just gone upstairs, walked quietly to the outside of the cloakroom.
"Okay, I just tidied up the small study. It's a bit small. Do you mind?"
"Of course not. I don't have time to thank you for having a shelter from the wind and rain, so why would you mind?"
"Men are unreliable, Jimei comes to make up the numbers, and I will protect you from now on."
"Okay, thank you."
"Why are you so polite to me? From now on, you can choose the fish in my fish pond. They are all fresh and high-quality big koi. Although the conditions are not as good as Lu Xiangning's, at least I know how to care for people."
Lu Xiangning didn't understand the first half of the sentence, but the second half made him blush. It turned out that her friend was also an expert in fish farming.
Li Zao couldn't help laughing and responded cheerfully, "Okay."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw Lu Xiangning leaning against the sliding door of the cloakroom with his hands in his pockets, staring at him for a moment.
Li Zao immediately closed his mouth and put away his phone, "That's it, Su Kui, see you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Li Zao's red lips slightly opened, and what he said was full of gunpowder, "Why, are you afraid that I will steal your things?"
She kicked the open suitcase on the floor with her toes, "You can check it and take out anything you think is valuable."
Lu Xiangning quickly stood up straight, opened his lips, and awkwardly took his hands out of his trouser pockets, "I didn't mean that."
"Then what do you mean? You, the dignified president of the Lu Group, are insolvent and have not earned much as you owe. Of course, you must hold on to these things at home and at least go to the second-hand market to exchange for some money."
Lu Xiangning frowned, Li Zao wasn't like this before. Just recently, his temper was explosive. He would quarrel with him at every turn, and his words would be thorny.
"Li Zao, why are you so unreasonable and troublesome now?"
"Am I being unreasonable?" Li Zao laughed angrily. He closed the suitcase and pushed it aside. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to have a good fight with him.
In the past, she heard that Zhao Zichu was a gentle and graceful lady, so she put away her liveliness and stayed quietly by his side. She did whatever he said and received whatever he gave her.
She thought that as long as she became like the Zhao Zichu he loved, he would slowly fall in love with her.
Three months ago, Zhao Zichu returned to China, and she had just returned from a long dream. Five years later, no matter how gentle and considerate she was, Lu Xiangning always loved Zhao Zichu, not her imitation.
So, why doesn't she just be herself?
It's not my fault that he doesn't love me, it's just because he doesn't love me.
"Then what should I do without being unreasonable? Does it count if I happily send you off to meet another woman at a cocktail party? Does it count if I just wait at home for you to kick me out first?"
Lu Xiangning had never seen Li Zao like this, sharp-tongued and aggressive. Where had the gentle and quiet Li Zao gone?
Li Zao knew him too well. Seeing his frowning face full of confusion and moving his lips without knowing what to say, she guessed what he was thinking. She sneered, "Oh, Lu Xiangning, I used to love you."
I will accommodate you and coax you, but now, I have decided not to love you. In just a few decades of life, I want to be my truest self, and I want to love myself."
After Li Zao said this, the ends of his eyes were already dyed red, and there was a layer of moist mist in his eyes, which made Lu Xiangning feel troubled.
He couldn't help but move closer to her.
But she backed away defensively, "You know very well how much money I have. There is really no need to embarrass me about money. As a couple, we can get together and relax."
"Li Zao, I don't..." I want to divorce you.
However, the sudden ringing of his cell phone interrupted what he had managed to say.
Li Zao pointed it out rudely, "I have no sense to call you so late. There is no one else but your Miss Zhao."
Lu Xiangning wanted to argue a few words, but when he saw the name displayed on the screen, he had no way to defend himself.
He turned sideways and picked up the phone.
"Hey...what? Did you call the police?"
As Lu Xiangning spoke, he turned around and ran, "I'll be there right away. You can find a safe place to hide."
Seeing this, Li Zao didn't make any noise or fuss, as if he had foreseen it, and quietly watched him run away.
She blinked hard to hold back the tears in her eyes.
I don’t know where Zhao Zichu was injured again, but the blood was so thick. He was injured again and again, often to his death, but he just couldn’t die.
