Inside and Outside the Siege: A Woman's Battle for Marriage

Chapter 14
when men start not coming home
At noon on Friday, Zhang Zhonghou called Du Mengyuan for the first time and said, "Mengyuan, I'm going to Haigang City for a business trip in the afternoon, and I won't be able to go home at night."

"Ah."

"I can't help it. Some things have to be done by myself. I guess I won't be back until next Monday, alas." Zhang Zhonghou said with a serious sigh.

"Yeah." Du Mengyuan wanted to hang up the phone, but suddenly remembered something, and told her, "Drink less."

Du Mengyuan has long been used to her husband not coming home.It's been a long time, and it's not news that he doesn't come home, but it's news if he comes back to sleep one or two nights a week.Anyway, it's not socializing, playing cards, playing mahjong with the leader, or going on a business trip. In short, there are many reasons for not going home. She doesn't bother to take care of him anymore. Anyway, she is used to living with the nanny.

Hearing the phrase "drink less wine" that Du Mengyuan said, Zhang Zhonghou was slightly touched and felt guilty.A wife is a wife after all, even if you don't take her seriously, she will still take you seriously.

He wasn't going to call her at first, but after thinking about it, he did.To make a phone call is to show her the most basic respect, and to cover up people's eyes and ears so that things don't come out.Even if you pretend to be, you still have to pretend.As for the big picture, you always have to catch it.He could already see that she already had an opinion about him not coming home for the night. Although she didn't say it, it could be seen from her face that she was not happy in her heart.

Since Xu Qiuying became his mistress, the number of times he went home has become less and less, only a handful.There is no way, there is a home outside the house, both inside and outside have to be taken care of, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, both homes are his home.He can't give up his little family to take care of everyone, and he can't let go of everyone to take care of Xiaojia.Two families, two concerns, he must balance the relationship between the two families.Didn't it say that "the red flag at home does not fall, but the colorful flags flutter outside"?He still understands this dialectical relationship. Only when the red flag at home does not fall can the colorful flags outside be raised.

Several times after work, he pondered in the office: should he go back to everyone or to Xiaojia?I was undecided for a moment, and I had to throw the dice.Suddenly he finally understood the reason why ancient emperors favored concubines by flopping cards. With so many women, it was difficult to make a decision at the moment, so they just flopped cards, and whoever was flopped took the right.Fortunately, he only has two families and two women, so it's not that troublesome.After thinking about it again, he almost returned to Xiao's house.Xiaojia has just been established, and it is equivalent to a honeymoon, so it should be more frequent.As for everyone, they are all old couples, so he just finds reasons to prevaricate.

Looking for a reason to prevaricate, you have to find a more sufficient reason, after all, my wife is not a fool, and she can't be fooled casually.Although he usually vaccinated Du Mengyuan, saying that the group has several big projects going on recently, he has frequent and close contact with government officials, often playing cards and mahjong with them, and even going out with them Field trips, travel, frequent business trips, etc.But after thinking about it, it is better to make frequent phone calls, to appease me, and it doesn't take much effort.For a woman of Du Mengyuan's age, menopause is coming, so she can only comfort her, not confront her.

Before he got off work, Zhang Zhonghou called Zhao Pinghai to the office and said, "Go to the 'Earth Garden of Haitian Times'."

"Okay." Zhao Pinghai picked up Zhang Zhonghou's bag, followed him step by step, and went downstairs.

In the car, Zhang Zhonghou stroked his hair a few times, moved his buttocks a few times, and said, "Ping Hai, I have something to say to you."

"Boss, please tell me." Zhao Pinghai already knew in his heart that Zhang Zhonghou must be talking about Xu Qiuying being his mistress.He is Zhang Zhonghou's driver, how can such a thing be kept a secret for a lifetime?

In fact, Zhao Pinghai had already guessed about this matter, but Zhang Zhonghou didn't mention it, so he just pretended not to know.Ever since Zhang Zhonghou hired Xu Qiuying to be an English teacher and interpreter for a shitty sales office, he knew that Zhang Zhonghou wanted to play her tricks.During this period of time, Zhang Zhonghou always refused to let him drive and drove out by himself. Needless to say, he knew that he was going to meet his lover.After following him for so many years, he is very clear about the boss's virtue.

Zhang Zhonghou poked his head to Zhao Pinghai's side and said, "My secretary, Xu Qiuying, and I have sex... I've turned her into a second child."

Zhao Pinghai hurriedly said: "The boss is wise. In fact, you should have found a second child long ago. You have worked so hard, so you should enjoy it and relax."

Zhang Zhonghou said with emotion: "Yes, yes, I have already figured it out, and I have taken it lightly. At my status and age, if I don't find a second child, I am afraid it will be too late, and it will be too late."

Zhao Pinghai said with a look of great agreement: "That's right, which boss doesn't have many wives now? Many big bosses like you not only look for the second child, but also the third and fourth."

Zhang Zhonghou smiled: "Take it easy, let's take it step by step first. Hehe."

For Zhang Zhonghou's behavior, Zhao Pinghai actually despised Zhang Zhonghou very much in his heart, but in order to keep his job, he had to say some compliments against his will on the surface.Alas, these days, it's not easy to make a living!Besides, he is just a little driver.A few days ago, when he and Zhang Zhonghou went out to socialize, they met the driver of a boss. After chatting for a while, they learned that the other party's salary was 3500, and there were red envelopes during the holidays.After he came back, he felt unbalanced all the time. He had been working hard for more than ten years, from the age of 20 to his 30s, and his salary was only 1500. Thinking about it, it was really not worth it.I have worked so hard with Zhang Zhonghou, and have been following behind my butt for many years. With this little money, it is not enough to support my family. It is really depressing to think about it.

When Zhang Zhonghou appeared in front of Xu Qiuying, Xu Qiuying was cooking in a hurry.Although she came from the countryside, she is not very proficient in these housework. The meat cuts are large and irregular, and the carrots are not sliced, but are also large and long.It's not so much cooking, it's more like a child playing house.

Seeing Xu Qiuying sweating profusely in a cute little apron, Zhang Zhonghou hugged her from behind distressedly and said, "Shadow, let's hire a nanny, so you don't have to work too hard."

Xu Qiuying turned around and smiled and said, "I just like to do it myself."

Zhang Zhonghou said: "Doing too much housework can make your skin rough."

Xu Qiuying shook off the water from her hands, turned her face and said, "It's so boring all day long. If I don't do some housework, I don't know how to pass the time."

Zhang Zhonghou said lovingly: "You can read the book. Why don't you go to the postgraduate entrance examination? Keep studying...I like the way you study."

Xu Qiuying tapped Zhang Zhonghou's nose with her finger, pouted and said, "Still reading? I'm tired of reading."

"Then you go, just go..." Zhang Zhonghou thought about it and said, "Practice yoga, yes! Yoga. This will make you feel better and have a better body." He did a yoga pose as he spoke.

Xu Qiuying glanced at Zhang Zhonghou flirtatiously, and said coquettishly, "I still need to practice yoga for my figure?"

Seeing Zhao Pinghai, Xu Qiuying couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and called out unnaturally: "Master Zhao."

Zhang Zhonghou said: "He has been with me for more than ten years, he is my brother."

Zhao Pinghai said flatteringly: "Mr. Zhang has treated me with great kindness, just like a big brother."

Zhang Zhonghou said to Zhao Pinghai: "In the future, Pinghai, you should care more about Qiuying." He also said to Xu Qiuying, "Where are you going and what are you going to do in the future, just call Pinghai directly."

Zhao Pinghai hurriedly bowed his waist, and said to Xu Qiuying with a smile: "If the second sister-in-law has any orders, just do it."

Xu Qiuying was taken aback by Zhao Pinghai's words, and said in a panic, "You can just call me Xiao Xu..." She felt very awkward in her heart. Zhao Pinghai called her second sister-in-law at this age, which shows that there is indeed a big age gap between herself and Zhang Zhonghou!Typical old couples and young wives, no, not even wives.

"Actually, it's fine to call her the second sister-in-law. Haha." Zhang Zhonghou said with a smile.

Xu Qiuying said angrily: "What is the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law? It's so ugly! You should call me by my name."

After the meal, Zhao Pinghai said to Zhang Zhonghou: "Boss, I want to go for a walk, watch a movie by the way, and come back tomorrow. Is that okay?"

"You go, just come over at 9 o'clock tomorrow." Zhang Zhonghou knew that Zhao Pinghai actually didn't want to disturb his and Xu Qiuying's private life, so he deliberately avoided it.I thought to myself that this driver is quite sensitive, he knows how to read words, and he can also speak.

As soon as Zhao Pinghai left, before Xu Qiuying had time to clean up the dishes, Zhang Zhonghou hugged her from behind, wrapped one arm around her small waist, and inserted the other into her underwear, kneading her regularly.

Xu Qiuying's breathing immediately became rapid, her mouth opened, her eyes were slightly closed, her chest heaved, her whole body trembled, and the chopsticks in her hands were scattered all over the floor...

Zhang Zhonghou's mouth was swimming on Xu Qiuying's neck and earlobe, and he murmured: "Babe...I love you so much."

Every time he was with Xu Qiuying, Zhang Zhonghou would do enough foreplay.A man his age can no longer get straight to the point as soon as he gets into bed like a young guy.He must pay attention to taste and pay attention to steps.Just like making soup, first boil it with high heat, then slowly boil it with culture, and finally attack it with high fire for a while.

For a man of his status, there is no shortage of women, only fine women.If it's just for sex, he can spend a lot of money looking for it outside, so there's no need to have a mistress.For Xu Qiuying, the woman he likes, he regards every sex as very important, like holding a grand ceremony - since it is a ceremony, the result is important, and the process is of course also important.For example, the process of caressing from head to toe is a kind of enjoyment in itself, like an expert appreciating a precious painting with a magnifying glass.

After a burst of ups and downs and darkness, Xu Qiuying said with endless aftertaste: "You are really getting more and more fierce."

"Are you fierce?" Zhang Zhonghou smiled triumphantly, "It was my little baby who awakened my second spring."

This sentence made Xu Qiuying feel a little jealous, she pouted and said, "Then your first spring was more fierce?"

Zhang Zhonghou realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he quickly touched Xu Qiuying's face and said, "It's not as fierce as it is now."

Xu Qiuying curled up and looked angry: "Hmph! You men are full of lies."

Zhang Zhonghou fiddled with Xu Qiuying and said, "What I said is true... Among the women in this world, only you can make me want to leave, fascinated, and alive."

Xu Qiuying raised her head and said with a smile, "You know how to speak well. What about your wife?"

"She is just a wife for a long time." Zhang Zhonghou waved his hands like chasing flies, as if saying goodbye to the past.

"What do you mean?" Xu Qiuying asked, putting her arms around Zhang Zhonghou's neck.

Zhang Zhonghou thought for a while before saying: "My wife, it's just a big situation... As a man, the big situation still needs to be caught. Now, the woman I really love is you." He kissed her on the face dear.

Xu Qiuying asked in an inquisitive tone, "What is the big picture?"

Zhang Zhonghou didn't want to go deep into this topic at first, but Xu Qiuying insisted on asking, so he couldn't be perfunctory.He could only hold Xu Qiuying's pink face, as if admiring a work of art, and said with great affection: "The big picture is just for show. There is only marriage, no love. All my love is given to you." .”

"Is it because I'm young? Pretty?"

"Yeah, it's not."

"If I am old in the future, like your wife, 40 years old, with wrinkled and loose skin, more spots on my face, and a bloated figure. Will you still love me?"

Zhang Zhonghou said without hesitation: "Love, of course love. Always love."

"Hmph! Telling lies again." Xu Qiuying scraped Zhang Zhonghou's nose with her fingers and said, "When I get old, I'm afraid it will be your big situation, right?"

Zhang Zhonghou said in his heart: When you get old, I'm afraid you won't even have the big picture.In his mouth, he still said affectionately: "No, you have always been my darling, the woman I love the most, how could it become a big deal?"

"Even your wife will be a big deal, let alone me? A mistress." Xu Qiuying said sadly, suddenly remembered Zhang Lina's words, so she simply changed the subject and said, "Zhang Lina bought a car."

Zhang Zhonghou asked casually, "What car?"

"Toyota."

"Hurry up and buy it too. You can go and see for yourself what car you like. Why don't you just buy you a BMW 3 Series?"

Just as Xu Qiuying wanted the BMW, she nodded and said, "Okay." Suddenly remembering what her brother said yesterday, she added, "My brother is calling."

Zhang Zhonghou looked interested: "Brother? What did he say?"

"He asked me if I found a job, and I said I would work as a secretary with you. He told me to be careful about you, saying that the current bosses are big perverts." After Xu Qiuying finished speaking, she squeezed Zhang Zhonghou's cheek and said, "You big pervert .”

Zhang Zhonghou said with a smile: "Your brother, how could he know that his sister has already taken the initiative to fall into the embrace of the pervert and dance with wolves."

Xu Qiuying's fists rained down on Zhang Zhonghou's chest, and she scolded coquettishly: "You are a big villain, a super villain! The biggest villain in the world!"

Zhang Zhonghou was tickled by Xu Qiuying's teasing, and his blood pressure rose again. He stretched out his hand and groped for it, and asked, "Where is your brother?"

"Working in Guangdong."

"What graduation?"

"high school."

"Just ask him to come to work in our group."

Xu Qiuying said coquettishly: "Do you want us brothers and sisters to revolve around you? You think so beautifully!"

"Your brother is also my brother! Why don't I raise the brothers and sisters together, and I will raise your whole family..." After speaking, Zhang Zhonghou got on his horse and went straight to the point.

When a man repeatedly "travels"

The two were shopping, Xu Qiuying held Zhang Zhonghou's arm, and the little bird leaned her head on him like a human being, looking extremely happy.

Zhao Pinghai followed behind, looking around vigilantly, keeping watch for them.I thought they were too courageous, how big is Haitian City?Besides, Zhang Zhonghou is still such a famous big boss, and he is still a figure in the public scene, and many people know him.Is it necessary to go on the street like this?Isn't it enough to toss at home at night?If you accidentally run into an acquaintance, let's see what they will do!Really.

Zhao Pinghai's worry was really not superfluous.Zeng Deyi's wife, Li Yao, happened to see Zhang Zhonghou and Xu Qiuying in the Haitian Department Store, and saw them paired and intimate.

When Li Yao was visiting the department store, she saw Xu Qiuying holding Zhang Zhonghou's hand in the women's clothing store, leaning her head on Zhang Zhonghou, choosing clothes, looking very intimate.At first Li Yao thought it was Zhang Zhonghou's daughter, but after a quick thought, she realized that he had no daughter, only two sons.I also thought maybe it was his niece or something, but it didn't look like it. Besides, even relatives couldn't be so close. After all, she was such a big girl, so there should be a difference between a man and a woman.Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered that it might be Zhang Zhonghou's lover, so she secretly hid aside and observed for a while, and found that the degree of intimacy between them was only between lovers, so she decided that the girl was Zhang Zhonghou's lover.

Thinking of this, Li Yao's heart pounded, and she started an ideological struggle in her heart: Should I tell Du Mengyuan about this?Do you want to tell?Du Mengyuan is my good friend, because of the relationship between Zeng Deyi and Zhang Zhonghou, the relationship between them is good, and they communicate frequently.But because of Zeng Deyi's relationship, if Zhang Zhonghou's affairs were told, would it be uninteresting to Zhang Zhonghou?Zeng Deyi was always respectful to Zhang Zhonghou, and he always yelled shortly, offering him as the God of Wealth.Is it right for her to do this?Besides, this is a matter of gossip after all, can you say?Said will not have any adverse consequences?
A series of questions popped up in Li Yao's mind, making her hesitate for a while, making it difficult to make a decision.

Li Yao weighed it in her heart for a long time, and finally decided to tell Du Mengyuan about it.The two of them are good friends and confidants who cherish each other, and now that I have found out, I should tell her.As for Zhang Zhonghou, that's another matter, besides, it's treating his illness to save his life, so there's no question of whether it's meaningful enough to let him rein in the precipice.

Li Yao called Du Mengyuan: "Sister Du, where are you?"

Du Mengyuan said: "I'm at home. How about you?"

Li Yao said anxiously: "I'm on the street... are you free? Come to my house right away, and I'll tell you something."

Du Mengyuan was startled: "What's the rush?"

"It's a very important thing about you. Come here right away! Is there anyone in your house? Or I can go to your house."

Seeing that Li Yao was so nervous, Du Mengyuan knew that it was not a trivial matter, so she said, "Why don't you just come to my house, Linda and I are at home, there is no one else. I am too lazy to change clothes."

Li Yao rushed to Du Mengyuan's house in a hurry, and seeing Linda busy, she said, "Mr. Zhang is not here?"

"He was on a business trip."

After asking this question, Linda knew that the master was going to talk about something, so she hurried into her room.

Li Yao then whispered: "Sister Du, don't be angry, I told you because of your good friend."

Du Mengyuan urged: "What's the matter, tell me quickly, don't keep it up."

Li Yao lowered her voice and said, "Mr. Zhang, you have to pay attention. I just saw him walking around the mall with a girl."

Du Mengyuan was startled and said, "No way? Isn't he on a business trip?"

"Business trip? Impossible." Li Yao said with a solemn expression, "I saw him in a department store just now, with a girl. I didn't dare to look at him at the time, thinking that I had misjudged the person, so I quickly hid behind and secretly Look, it took me a long time to be sure. That's right! It's Mr. Zhang. That woman is so young, probably only in her 20s."

Du Mengyuan was dumbfounded, her throat was tight, and her heart ached sharply, but she pretended to be calm and said: "Impossible, he's already on a business trip...it must be someone from his company?"

"It's impossible to go on a business trip, he must have lied to you." Li Yao said, "They are arm in arm, and the woman is still leaning her head on him. It can't be a subordinate, and it must be something different if she is a subordinate, you don't know How shameless some female subordinates are now. Some shameless vixens just show off in front of their bosses, hoping that the boss will rule them unspoken, and wait for promotion and salary increase to get benefits!"

Li Yao's words made Du Mengyuan's head buzz like thunder, thinking Zhang Zhonghou, Zhang Zhonghou, good!It turned out that you made such a mistake.It turns out that you have been making up stories to deceive my old lady all along, and keep me in the dark like a poor wretch.
