Chapter 32: Beaten Again!

  Since the fight at the restaurant, Zhang Ziheng has become more concerned about Director Xu. After all, Song Fan is not a good person, and he was beaten without saying anything, and in the end, he didn't even get any benefits. He must be unwilling to give up. However, since he is already divorced from Director Xu, they have no relationship with each other in the eyes of the law. If he goes to trouble Director Xu again, he will only bring bad luck upon himself. Moreover, now there is also Zhang Ziheng who is getting in the way, so he can only be left with a lingering regret.

  Zhang Ziheng's concern for Director Xu was all in Wang Xue's eyes. No wonder, who would go to the design department every day after work, and even send Director Xu to the parking lot after work, waiting for her car to leave before leaving herself? It's hard not to be seen as suspicious. However, Zhang Ziheng didn't think much of his own behavior, although he felt Wang Xue was jealous, he just couldn't control himself. Every time Wang Xue questioned him, he would use the excuse that he treated Director Xu like a sister to brush it off. Yeah, protecting one's own sister, what's wrong with that? But only Zhang Ziheng knew what he was really thinking in his heart.

  Xu felt embarrassed about Zhang Ziheng's behavior, after all, they were colleagues in the company, and even if they had gotten off work, they were just very good friends. Moreover, Zhang Ziheng also had a girlfriend, so doing this would inevitably lead to misunderstandings. But at the same time, she was also very grateful to Zhang Ziheng, because everything he did was for her, and it made her heart feel a little warm.

  It's another busy day, when the clock on the wall just reached closing time, Zhang Ziheng hurriedly packed up his things and shut down the computer. Seeing his anxious look, Wang Xue got annoyed, these days have been like this, almost driving her crazy. This time she finally couldn't bear it, stood up and came to his front, looking at him with an unpleasant face.

  At this time, Zhang Ziheng was bowing his head to pick up things and didn't notice that someone was standing in front of him, which made Wang Xue even more angry.

  "Hey, are you blind? Can't you see I'm here?" Wang Xue slammed her hand on the table and shouted loudly.

  Zhang Ziheng was startled and looked at her in confusion, saying: "What are you doing? Why are you so angry again for no reason?"

  "What am I doing? What are you doing? I've been holding back for days, don't you see?" Wang Xue asked.

  Zhang Ziheng furrowed his brow, looking at her with a puzzled expression and asked: "What's wrong again? I haven't done anything these past few days. Every day I go home on time after work, I do whatever you tell me to do, I really don't know what I did wrong this time."

  "You don't know? You're still saying you don't know? Fine, I'll ask you, are you the company's security guard or a police officer? You've even become a bodyguard, you're really capable, aren't you? For an entire day, you make at least six calls to the design department, run there four times, and as soon as it's time to get off work, you go wait for them at the design department. As soon as they come out, you even escort them to the parking lot. Your kindness is really something else, others might think she's paying your salary!" Wang Xue shouted, panting heavily, looking very angry.

  Zhang Ziheng looked at her impatiently and said, "What's wrong with you again? You're not the first time we've quarreled about this. I've already made it clear to you before. Sister Xu has a favor for me, and she's also my good friend. I even consider her as my own sister. Am I guilty of protecting my own family? Besides, what did I do wrong? I just asked if Song Fan had come to harass her again, can't I even ask that?"

  "No, no, no, just no. I think you have ulterior motives, all men are the same, eating from their own bowl while eyeing someone else's pot, having food at home but still sneaking into others' homes to steal buns, you're having an affair." Wang Xue was so angry that she grabbed everything on her desk and started throwing things around like a madwoman.

  Zhang Ziheng hastily grabbed her hand and said, "What are you doing again? Can't you stop being so spoiled for once? Listen to what you just said, aren't you afraid of losing face?"

  "What do I have to be afraid of? The one who should be afraid is you, isn't it? You're the one who's been unfaithful, you're the one who's had an affair, you're the one who's kept a mistress." Wang Xue was so angry that her words were incoherent, and some things she didn't even know how to say just came out randomly.

  Zhang Ziheng got angry as soon as he heard it. He looked at her seriously and said: "What did you just say? Say it again."

  "What? Did I say something wrong? You have no conscience, you are shameless, Chen Shimin!" Wang Xue shouted loudly.

  Zhang Ziheng was so angry that he couldn't bear it, and raised his hand to hit him, but stopped in mid-air. Wang Xue saw this, not only didn't get scared, but instead became even more spirited.

  "What's wrong? Are you going to hit me again? Go ahead, if you have the guts. You bastard, not only do you covet other people's divorced women, but also want to hit me, I'll lend you two more balls." Wang Xue yelled loudly with her neck raised.

  At this time, outside the office, a lot of people had already gathered, all surrounding the door, listening to the quarrel inside, and from time to time discussing it. Just then, only to hear a "slap" sound inside, everyone fell silent.

  "My goodness! He hit the young lady." Someone said a sentence, and everyone was stunned.

  At this time, the office door opened and Zhang Ziheng walked out with a briefcase, but what surprised everyone was that on his left cheek, a bright red handprint could be clearly seen. Zhang Ziheng ignored the gaze of others and walked straight out.

  Others looked at Zhang Ziheng's back as he left with a puzzled expression, then turned their heads to look into the office, where Wang Xue was staring blankly at her right hand, seemingly lost in thought. After a while, she raised her head and glanced out the door before shouting: "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a woman beat up a man? Go home and let your wives do it!" With that, she slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

  "My goodness, it was actually the young lady who beat up her new brother-in-law. It seems that being a daughter-in-law isn't as easy as it looks." one of them said.

  "Haha, what? Do you want to try? Unfortunately, you're not as good-looking as him. After all, he's a young man with a decent appearance. But what about you? You look so sleazy, even if you wanted to marry into a family, no one would want you." Another person chuckled and said.

  "Cut it out, as if you're better than me."

  Zhang Ziheng was about to get angry, he didn't go to the design department, but came directly to the parking lot next to Xu's car. After waiting for a short time, Xu came down. When she saw Zhang Ziheng, she was slightly stunned and said: "Ziheng, how are you here? I didn't see you just now when I was upstairs, I thought you had left first, but I didn't expect you to be waiting for me here."

  At this time, Zhang Ziheng lowered his head and said with a displeased face: "Oh, I pressed the wrong button when taking the elevator, so I came down directly. Sister Xu, get in the car, I'll take your ride today."

  Xu Zong was slightly stunned, opened the car lock and asked: "What's wrong? Where is Wang Xue? Did you two have a fight?"

  Zhang Ziheng didn't answer and directly got on the car. Director Xu slightly frowned and also got on the car, it was only then that she saw the red handprint on Zhang Ziheng's face.

  "What...what's wrong with you? Don't move, let me see, who did this to you? Wang Xue?" Xu Zong turned Zhang Ziheng's face and said in surprise.

  Zhang Ziheng shook his head and said, "Nothing, you don't have to worry about it. Drive the car, Sister Xu, I don't want to go home today, just take me somewhere random and drop me off."

  Xu looked at him with a puzzled face, wondering what was wrong, this was the first time she saw Zi Heng like this. So he also had times when he was unhappy and angry, Xu thought to herself.

  It was rush hour, and the cars on the road were like a long snake, congested to the extreme. Xu's car was also moving in fits and starts. Zhang Ziheng was both angry and depressed at this time, smoking one cigarette after another, with no intention of stopping.

  Seeing him like this, Director Xu frowned and snatched the cigarette from his hand, throwing it out of the window. "Alright, stop smoking, do you want to get lung cancer or what?"

  Zhang Ziheng didn't say a word, and took out another one. Xu Zong this time completely snatched it away, throwing the cigarette along with the lighter into the trash can by the side of the road.

  "Zi Heng, what's going on? Can't you tell me? If you still consider me your sister, then tell me, did you have a falling out with Wang Xue?" Xu Dan said seriously.

  "Xu Jie, I really don't want to say it, just don't force me," Zhang Ziheng said in a low voice.

  Xu looked stunned for a moment, then sighed and reached out to touch his left cheek, saying: "How is it? Still hurts?"

  Zhang Ziheng shook his head and didn't say anything.

  "Alas, this Wang Xue is really something. What's the point of resorting to violence? And to make matters worse, he hit him so hard that the red handprint still hasn't faded yet." Xu Zong shook his head and sighed.

  "Xu Jie, I feel that I'm really not compatible with Wang Xue. I don't know why I was with her in the first place. I thought that as time went on, I would gradually fall in love with her and she would understand me. But when I just started to have some feelings for her, I realized that I'm really not suitable for her." Zhang Ziheng said softly.

  "What kind of logic is this? If you already have feelings for her, why would it be unsuitable?" Xu asked.

  Zhang Ziheng shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe it's intuition. I'm a more introverted person, I like to yield in everything. She is more overbearing, straightforward, sometimes even unreasonable. I'm Cancer, she's Gemini, we were originally incompatible."

  Xu smiled slightly and said, "I don't agree with what you're saying. Everything has two sides to it, why not think of the good side? If we follow your way of thinking, can't you complement each other? Are you a Cancer? I saw online that Cancer men are usually more sentimental and like to overthink things. It seems like what they say is true. In fact, which couple doesn't fight? This is a very normal thing, after fighting, just clear the air and it's fine, right?"

  Zhang Ziheng let out a deep breath and said, "Maybe, maybe you're right."

  At this time, Zhang Ziheng had a bit more melancholy than usual and looked much more mature. General Xu smiled at him, feeling that this big boy was still very cute.
