99 An Acquaintance
Qu Zhi felt it was a pity to return to the city now. It was rare for her to come back, so she had to cut off all her thoughts. When she returned to the city, she would always think about it, which would be uncomfortable.
She wanted to return to Huang Qing’s house first to see the situation at home.
Even though she and Huang Qing were at the end of their argument, she still wanted to see Qu Jun and Qu Can.
Even though Qu Jun didn’t really care for her, at least he didn’t treat her as badly as Huang Qing. In the past, they were used to spending extravagantly. She didn’t come back for the new year, so it was unknown if they had any money to spend. If they didn’t, she would give them a little.
Logically speaking, he should have gotten married by this time in his previous life.
Qu Zhi calculated that he would get married in June. She still remembered his wife was four or five years younger than him. Before they married, Huang Qing had even praised her, saying she was virtuous, good at talking, beautiful, and young. She had also often compared her to Qu Zhi, and when she did, she was filled with anger.
However, after giving birth to the child, this woman seemed to have changed into a different person. She had a venomous mouth, and her words were unforgiving. She criticized Qu Can every day.
At that time, Huang Qing’s heart ached, and she forced Qu Can to get a divorce. How could Qu Can be willing? However, under Huang Qing’s many years of doting, his own opinion had been worn down to the point that he didn’t have it at all. When the woman left, she also took their daughter with her.
Liang Wen snapped his fingers in front of Qu Zhi. “What are you thinking about? Do you think we should bring two boxes of milk home? ”
Qu Zhi laughed. “No, it will be quick. I’ll leave after a short conversation.”
It wasn’t a sentence. It was a sum of money.
She actually wanted to see Peng Xi more. What would she be like now if she didn’t get the child last time?
When the car arrived at the entrance, Qu Zhi told Liang Wen and the child to wait in the car while she got out.
The door was locked, so they probably went out.
It was good that there was peace and quiet around her, and Qu Zhi heaved a long sigh of relief. She looked into the window. The floor was still spotless, and many broken melon seed shells were on the coffee table. There were biscuits and candy in the basket. It seemed that they were doing well.
Qu Zhi’s heart finally settled down. Then, she thought for a moment and went straight to the neighbor’s house.
The person who opened the door for her was Peng Xi’s mother. The old lady’s eyes were already blurry, but she still recognized Qu Zhi after a long time. “Oh, Zhizhi.” She had probably heard of Peng Xi’s plan as she looked at Qu Zhi with a flustered expression.
One look at Qu Zhi, and she knew Peng Xi was dreaming. How could she possibly buy a child from her?
“Where’s Peng Xi?” Qu Zhi actually had some news.
She had heard from her relatives that Peng Xi’s husband was abusing her. Not only had he beaten her black and blue, but he had also even forced her to divorce him. It was said that it was because her husband had an affair with another woman and the woman was about to have a child, which was why he was so cruel to Peng Xi.
“She’s in the city living a good life!” The old lady’s face lit up. “She’s living in a big house but is too busy with work. She doesn’t even come back for Qingming.”
Qu Zhi frowned and thought about it. Was there any company that didn’t give a holiday? However, she was still more curious about Peng Xi. “Is she still unable to have children? ”
“She can’t. What’s the use of crying and making a fuss? It’s good enough as long as the man loves her.” The old lady grinned, revealing her crooked teeth. “She even said she’d take me to the city two days ago. But I’m not going. Peng Xi should be complaining about me…”
The old lady’s chatterbox had never been closed since she started talking.
Only Qu Zhi felt that all of this was lamentable.
Some people’s evilness was engraved in their bones and could not be seen on the surface.
Qu Zhi knew what kind of person Peng Xi’s Husband was. In her past life, if she had not seen Peng Xi covered in injuries, she would not have believed that this man would do such a thing.
He was a doctor, but he used all kinds of things to imprison Peng Xi. Peng Xi had always naively believed that she was loved or that she would be loved if she did what he asked of her, but in the end, she was despised to the ground without a single bit of dignity.
No wonder Sisi didn’t want to get close to him. He could be described as a beast in human skin.
Even with Sisi, their marriage was still the same. It had nothing to do with the child, but Peng Xi didn’t understand.
Now that this woman no longer had any relationship with her, Qu Zhi still felt that she was too pitiful. She and Peng Xi actually had the same situation. They were just people struggling to get love, but the Qu Zhi now was no longer that pitiful wretch.
She returned to the car. Liang Wen had been waiting impatiently for a long time. “Where did you go? Didn’t you say that you would be done in a while? ”
Sisi had already woken up.
Qu Zhi smiled. “I went to see an acquaintance. Unfortunately, she’s not here.”
