Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Am I Being Tricked?
Wu Wei could only continue to gently pat her shoulder.
At that moment, Zhou Yujie suddenly buried her head in his shoulder, hugging him and bursting into tears.
Wu Wei had not anticipated her actions at all, and his body instantly stiffened.
Being hugged and cried on by the school beauty, but already having a girlfriend, what should he do?
Online waiting, this is urgent!
However, seeing the pitiful sight of her crying, Wu Wei's body gradually relaxed.
She just needed a shoulder to lean on, and it didn't mean anything else.
Zhou Yujie didn't cry for long, stopping after a moment.
She lifted her head and casually wiped the tears from her face with her palm before looking at Wu Wei awkwardly and saying, "Sorry, I just..."
"It's okay, it's okay."
Seeing her expression, a protective instinct rose in Wu Wei's heart, "Let's go talk in the car, there are lots of people watching out here."
It was the peak period for people returning home from work, and their activity had attracted quite a few curious glances.
Many elderly men and women, who had just finished their dinner and were out for a stroll, even gathered together to chat enthusiastically about them.
"Let's not go to the car, I'm going home."
Zhou Yujie shook her head, then looked at him, "Or how about visiting my place instead?"
"Okay."
Wu Wei knew she must have something she wanted to talk about, so he nodded in agreement.
Zhou Yujie's rented house was on the third floor, approximately forty square meters in size.
It had two bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom, and a small kitchen.
The decoration in the room was very poor, with various exposed wires and peeling wall paint visible everywhere.
The lighting was also very poor, giving off a gloomy feeling as soon as one entered.
However, the place was quite clean, with various pieces of furniture and items neatly arranged.
The only messy part was the various toys scattered everywhere.
"Xuanxuan really, leaving toys all over the place."
While saying this, Zhou Yujie picked up the toys from the sofa and then said, "You sit here, I'll get you a glass of water."
"You don't need to bother, school beauty."
Wu Wei sat down on the sofa, quickly saying, "I just drank half a bottle of water, I'm not thirsty now."
"Oh, right."
Zhou Yujie sat next to Wu Wei and said somewhat awkwardly, "I made you see such a mess today."
"How could that be, it's not your fault."
Wu Wei looked at Zhou Yujie and asked, "Is he the boyfriend you dated after your divorce?"
"Yes," Zhou Yujie nodded.
"People like him, it's better to break up and move on. Who does that kind of stuff?"
Wu Wei somewhat speechlessly said, "Has he been pestering you for a long time?"
"Yes."
Zhou Yujie nodded, took a deep breath and said, "I broke up with him six months ago and he has been harassing me ever since. After I moved here, it quieted down for a few months, but recently he somehow found out my address and started bothering me again."
"Didn't you call the police?"
Wu Wei furrowed his brows and said.
"I called several times, but it was useless."
Zhou Yujie shook her head, "After all, he didn't do anything too outrageous, just tugged and pulled, trying to get me back with him. I refused and he just yelled at me."
"Where did you meet such a weirdo?"
Unable to restrain himself, Wu Wei complained, "Yujie, not to speak ill of you, but your judgment of people is really poor."
"I think so too, haha..."
Zhou Yujie gave a bitter smile and continued, "We met at work, back when I was a waitress in a hot pot restaurant and he was the manager. After he knew I was divorced, he pursued me relentlessly, looked after me at work, and didn't give up for over a year. But I didn't like him, so I never agreed."
"But then my family kept pushing me to go on blind dates, calling me several times a day, saying I couldn't take care of my child alone. I was so annoyed. Being on my own was indeed tough, working while taking care of a child was too hard, and the child really needed a father."
"Thinking about how he had pursued me for so long, and he seemed like a decent person, instead of going on blind dates with strangers, I thought it better to be with him, so I agreed."
At this point, Zhou Yujie took a deep breath and sighed, "But unexpectedly, after we made it official, he seemed to become a different person, his desire to control became very strong."
"Whenever I talked a little longer with a customer, or some customers tried to flirt with me, asking for my WeChat and such, he couldn't stand it. After we got home, he would scold me, accusing me of seducing others, and once he even hit me."
"He hit you?!"
On hearing this, Wu Wei's face filled with shock, and he couldn't help but feel even more heartbroken.
"Yeah."
Zhou Yujie nodded helplessly, "It even ended up at the police station that time."
"After that, I asked him for a breakup. He knelt down and begged me, promising he would never hit me again, but I was determined to end it. Annoyed, he hit me again."
"What?!"
Wu Wei was instantly incensed upon hearing this.
The many people's ideal goddess, obtained by this wretch, was not only uncherished but also physically assaulted!
How could he bear to lay his hands on her!
"Then I resigned from the hot pot restaurant and specifically found a job at Porsche far from the city center, and rented a house here. But somehow he found me again, even went to Xuanxuan's kindergarten to look for her, trying to take her away." Discover tales at m|vl|e|mp|y|r
Zhou Yujie looked at Wu Wei and said, "These past few days, I've been especially scared. I fear he might hit me again, and even more, I fear that if he is pushed too far, he might hurt Xuanxuan. Today, luckily you were here, otherwise, I don't know what might have happened."
Wu Wei grew increasingly angry as he listened, regretting not having punched that jerk hard just before.
But at the same time, he also felt something was off about this matter.
So, Yujie actually knew that her ex-boyfriend was going to find her today.
Then, her motive for inviting him to dinner today seemed somewhat suspicious.
Could it be that she intentionally invited him to dinner, and then had him escort her home, to let him discover her ex-boyfriend and help her resolve this trouble?
No way, was he being manipulated by Yujie?
Considering this, Wu Wei tentatively asked, "So, Yujie, you already knew he would come to find you today, right?"
"Yes, I knew."
Zhou Yujie nodded and then said somewhat sheepishly, "Wu Wei, I'm sorry. The reason I invited you to dinner today was actually to have you pretend to be my boyfriend and help me deal with the trouble my ex-boyfriend causes."
"I thought, since you are more handsome and wealthier than him, seeing you would surely make him give up and stop harassing me."
"I was planning to discuss it with your girlfriend at the table, to avoid any misunderstandings, but since she wasn't there today, I was afraid to tell you alone in case you disagreed, so I decided to act first and explain later."
Wu Wei figured as much.
No wonder she insisted on having dinner with him today; that was her real motive.
