Chapter 25: The Shadow of Seven Years
"Here's what we'll do, Yaoyang, don't be angry. Since the wine has already been taken away, let them sell it for now!"
"If we really can't sell them in the end, I'll buy them back at the original price, okay?"
Xu Ziming said with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yaoyang released the other person.
He coldly warned, "You'd better keep your word, don't try to fool me!"
Xu Ziming grinned and said, "Of course, I wouldn't dare lie to you!"
"Okay, remember what you said!"
Chu Yaoyang then slammed the door shut and left.
Xu Ziming sat back on the sofa, looked out the window at the receding figure, and sneered.
"Damn it, I finally cleared out my inventory, and you want me to take it back? Are you kidding me?"
……
That afternoon, Chen Le returned to the residential area where Su Xi lived.
However, he dared not knock on the door again.
He could only stand far away in the small park of the community, staring blankly at the apartment building where Su Xi lived.
Finally, he met Su Xi.
I checked the time; it was already time to leave work.
Su Xi dragged her tired body along the path in the neighborhood, her eyes lifeless.
Chen Le walked over.
Su Xi looked annoyed when she saw Chen Le.
"What are you doing here again?"
She felt extremely uncomfortable being pointed at and talked about by a group of elderly women in the neighborhood.
"I...miss my daughter."
"Just one look, and I'll leave."
"Don't worry, I didn't buy her any expensive gifts, just some snacks she likes."
Chen Le looked at him earnestly and spoke in a pleading tone.
Su Xi didn't say anything, but just led the way with her head down.
What she feared most was Chen Le's entanglement.
What I fear even more is his hypocritical face.
But they dared not turn against the other party.
It's very possible that in the next second, he will reveal his true nature and beat himself up like a demon!
When Su Xi got home, she opened the door and saw Xin Xin running over.
"Mom, you're back! Are you tired?"
Xin Xin blinked her eyes; she was very cute.
"Xin Xin, Mommy was busy at work today and forgot to bring you a cake!"
"How about I buy it for you tomorrow?"
Su Xi said with a wry smile, her hands empty.
Upon hearing this, Xin Xin's smile vanished.
He kept his head down and didn't say a word.
"Mom, you broke your promise. You said the same thing last week..."
Xin Xin was unhappy and spoke softly.
Su Xi's face immediately turned cold.
Chen Le had already caused so much trouble, and when he got home, his daughter threw another tantrum!
"Why are you so ignorant, kid!"
"If you don't like your mother, then get a different mother!"
Su Xi reprimanded in a stern voice.
"Woooooooo..."
"Mom, Xin Xin was wrong, I will never do it again."
"Xinxin doesn't want cake anymore, she just wants Mommy... Please don't abandon me..."
Xin Xin was so frightened that she started to cry.
With nowhere to put her little hands, she clutched her faded vest and cried very sadly!
Chen Le's heart broke when he saw this. He opened his mouth and protested, "Why did you scold Xin Xin?"
"If you don't trust me, I won't buy the expensive stuff. It's not like I can't afford snacks and cakes."
"Xin Xin, don't cry, Daddy will go buy you a cake."
"Here are some snacks, have some first, Dad will be back soon."
Chen Le sighed, put the snacks on the ground, and ran out.
Su Xi felt a surge of anger and slammed the door shut.
However, after disciplining her child, she felt waves of regret.
After hesitating for a moment, I called Chen Le and emphasized that this was Xin Xin's favorite flavor so that I wouldn't buy the wrong one.
Chen Le readily agreed, overjoyed.
After all, Chen Le knew her too well.
Soft-hearted!
When he bought the cake and happily carried it home...
As soon as I pushed open the unit door, I heard a string of vicious curses.
"Su Xi, right? Today, your daughter must apologize to my little chubby boy!"
"Your scumbag husband scared my child the other day, and the child is still having nightmares about it!"
A harsh and domineering female voice came from the hallway, sounding fierce and menacing.
Su Xi lowered her eyes and spoke in a gentle voice: "It was my Xin Xin who offended your little Fatty. I'm here to apologize to you."
When the shrew saw that Su Xi was so easy to talk to, she glanced at her husband and the neighbors who were gathered around her, and suddenly became arrogant.
"Oh dear, is that all? That won't do!"
"Get Chen Le out here and kneel down before us right now!"
"That bastard, he even dared to bare his teeth at my son for the sake of his bastard child!"
"I don't think you're a good person. You're always trying to seduce men around the neighborhood!"
"Today I'm going to kick you and your little bastard out!"
The fat woman said in a sarcastic tone.
Standing beside her was her husband.
The old man's eyes were fixed intently on Su Xi's face and figure.
Although he knew his wife was maliciously humiliating the other person, seeing Su Xi's face and figure, he couldn't help but fantasize about it intensely...
I wish that were true...
Several women around them were also pointing and whispering about Su Xi!
"Sister-in-law, watch your mouth!"
"We're all neighbors, we see each other all the time, don't make baseless accusations here."
Su Xi is also very stubborn.
Even with so many people on the other side, she couldn't stand being falsely accused and insulted!
I am completely innocent, so why should I be smeared?
"Snapped!"
The fat woman slapped him across the face.
The slap turned Su Xi's face bright red.
"You vixen, who the hell are you accusing me of slander? I'll tear your mouth apart today!"
"You're a menace in this neighborhood, seducing men everywhere. Who knows what shady things you do at night!"
"Tell me, how many men in our neighborhood have climbed onto your shabby bed?"
"Anyway, my old man has taken a liking to you, so why don't you sleep with him for one night!"
Upon hearing this, the other women immediately burst into laughter.
Upon hearing this, Su Xi's eyes turned red with anger!
I wish I could fight these people to the death!
"Who gave you the audacity to hit my wife?"
Chen Le walked over carrying the cake, and upon seeing this scene, he instantly flew into a rage!
I just felt my adrenaline surge!
His whole body was trembling violently with anger!
The next second, Chen Le exploded, like an enraged lion.
He took two strides and charged straight ahead!
He slammed the cake to the ground and kicked it at the same time!
He kicked the arrogant fat woman hard!
The fat woman was kicked and sent flying, crashing into the wall, her plump face covered in blood.
"You bastard, I am Chen Le, the man you're looking for. You want me to come out, right?"
"I `m coming out."
"If you keep spewing nonsense here, I'll kill you."
Chen Le rushed over, grabbed the fat woman's hair, and slammed her head against the wall several times!
At this moment, the fat woman's husband, Lao Sun, finally realized what was happening.
He raised his fist, ready to punch Chen Le.
However, at this moment, Chen Le seemed to have gone mad and couldn't feel any pain at all.
He swung his fist and smashed it hard against the fat woman's head.
"Murder! Murder! Help! Help!"
The fat woman's face was covered in blood, and she looked terrifying.
Su Xi felt a chill run down her spine when she saw this scene.
For the past few years, Chen Le has been bullying her like this...
One punch after another, until she was knocked unconscious.
This scene haunted her like a nightmare.
The psychological trauma that had faded had returned, once again engulfing my mind...
She hurriedly closed the door, hugged Xin Xin, and squatted on the ground, her whole body trembling.
It's not her fault...
This is the aftereffect of seven years of brutal domestic violence by Chen Le.
Too scared.
It made her feel cold all over, as if her blood was flowing backward.
She was terrified of Chen Le from the bottom of her heart, and every time she was beaten, she dared not fight back.
Seven years!
Seven years of torment!
It had long since robbed her of all expectations and hopes.
She is no longer the girl who had dreams about family, love, and the future.
His eyes had long since lost their luster.
