ng, but she understood that they couldn't be together anymore. So Auntie Ruan treated the four members of the Huo family with the courtesy due to guests.When buried, the heavens and earth become gloom...The atmosphere in the car was heavy, and the driver hadn't seen Zhang Chongguang like this in a long time.
He didn't even dare to make a sound, just burying his head in driving.
The luxurious black RV was driving down the bustling streets of city B. The lights were just starting to come on, and there were many pedestrians on the road. Zhang Chongguang turned his head and watched... for the first time, he felt that these things had nothing to do with him.
Thus, it sailed slowly past the bustle and arrived at a place of sparse population.
After passing through a private tree-lined path, he returned to his villa... Just as the driver was about to park, Zhang Chongguang suddenly said, “Park the car in the underground parking lot.”
The driver was taken aback, but he still obeyed and turned the steering wheel.
This villa has a fairly spacious underground parking garage, and Zhang Chongguang is an avid car enthusiast. Over the past few years, he has collected about a dozen cars and occasionally drives them interchangeably.
But now...
Zhang Chongguang sat in the back seat and spoke quietly, "Get out of the car first."
The driver hesitated for a moment before leaving.
Inside the car, only Zhang Chongguang was left. In the enclosed space, only his light breaths could be heard... After a moment, he opened the car door and slowly got out. He walked to those beloved cars he had collected.
Long fingers, gently stroking.
Reluctant to part.
Every car was covered in dust, every single one left untouched for over half a year… Their only purpose seemed to be collecting dust here.
Zhang Chongguang thought, he would never have another chance to drive these cars again.
...just like Hosei, he could never have again. ...
Standing quietly for a long time, he took out his phone and called Qin's secretary, instructing in a calm tone, "Get rid of all the 10 or so cars in the garage... Yes, just about the market price."
Over there, Qin the secretary froze.
All those cars are Mr. Zhang's favorites, some of them were even bought with Lawyer Huo. Are you going to sell them all now
She was afraid she had misheard, so she asked again, not trusting herself.
Zhang Chongguang gripped his phone and hummed, "Yes, dispose of everything!"
After hanging up the phone, he looked again at those things he once loved so much. Giving up these beloved cars felt just like letting go of his feelings for Hoxi - no matter how reluctant he was, he knew in the end he had to let go.
Zhang Chongguang rode the elevator, slowly ascending the floors.
He returned to the master bedroom, where everything was still arranged as it had been before, and he could almost feel a trace of Ho-xi's presence.
He stared silently for a while, then walked to the wine cabinet and pulled out a bottle of red wine.
Since the accident, he has rarely, very rarely, drunk alcohol because his leg doesn't allow it.
But today he wants to have a little.
A highball glass filled with deep red liquid, he tilted his head back and drank it down... letting the rich aroma slide down his throat, his Adam's apple bobbing with the movement, which was actually quite sexy.
He drank several glasses in a row, finishing a bottle of red wine.
My left leg started to hurt.
Zhang Chongguang, however, stared blankly at the small tea table in front of him. On it lay a photo of him and Huo Xi... His eyes were red, he gently picked it up and caressed it reluctantly.
Later he drank a lot of alcohol, so much that he couldn't feel his leg pain anymore.
But no amount of alcohol could make him forget Huo Xi.
The domestic worker at home discovered this and immediately called Qin's secretary to handle it. Qin's secretary quickly called a doctor over. Dr. Zheng came in the middle of the night, wishing he could strangle Zhang Chongguang to death.
It's just better for him to strike first, than to be killed.
After Zhang Chongguang regained consciousness, his left leg twitched incessantly due to the pain. Even Dr. Zheng, exasperated, gave him two shots of painkillers temporarily, but the effect was minimal.
Dr. Zheng looked up at him: "The painkillers aren't working anymore. If you keep treating it like this, sooner or later your leg will be completely ruined and beyond saving."
Zhang Chongguang knew that it would be a wheelchair for life.
But he doesn't seem to care much about it now...
star
Thus, time flies.
He and Huo Xi would occasionally run into each other, sometimes at social events and sometimes because of the children.
Most of the time he sits in a wheelchair.
He wasn't as wary of her anymore, because he was always accompanied by He Lu. It seemed that having someone with him in front of Huo Xi allowed him to pick up his pitiful sense of self-esteem. Divorced couples met and treated each other respectfully.
Zhang Chongguang thinks it's very good.
At the end of summer, a person appeared by Huo Xi's side. He was handsome and dignified.
Zhang Chongguang knew this was the matchmaker chosen by the Huo family for her. Huo Xi finally stopped refusing.
She and that man began to go out together.
Her dressing became more and more feminine, and she also started paying attention to her makeup. Her eyes when looking at him gradually turned indifferent... Like looking at a stranger, there was no trace of the love she once had for him in her eyes.
This made Zhang Chongguang suffer.
But he thought again: Zhang Chongguang, isn't this what you want
Let her go free and start a new life.
He felt both lucky and pained, often resorting to drinking... Qin, his secretary, frequently cleaned up after him. She thought her boss should see a doctor, perhaps check for an early onset of menopause.
We happened to meet again at a banquet that day.
Ho-chi danced with the man, and then they left the banquet hall hand in hand. As she departed, her fiery skirt grazed Zhang Chongguang's eyes, but he merely leaned against a corner, gazing at them silently.
He felt sick.
He let go with one hand while frantically watching Hsi's every move. He knew exactly when she went on dates, where she went, and how long they lasted.
He would even… check their records.
I have never stayed in a hotel room.
He also felt that he was perverted, but he couldn't control himself. Occasionally, in the dead of night, he would even dream of Huo Xi lying under someone else's body, making soft moans.
Zhang Chongguang was increasingly unable to control his emotions.
During a collaboration with Mr. Wang, things almost got physical. Qin the secretary directly dragged him away. She felt that Zhang shouldn't be taken to see a doctor, but rather a veterinarian.
Ran into him at the banquet again today.
That Mr. Wang wouldn't dare to provoke this person, keeping a safe distance and muttering curses as he did so.
"What's so great about it!"
“The past was glamorous, now he’s wealthy, but so what A car accident shattered his leg, he can barely walk, and he even pretends to have gout! It’s pathetic, he's just disabled! … What kind of act is he putting on in front of women Isn’t it just a man’s bruised ego He probably wouldn’t dare do anything to his ex-wife either. I bet he’s just useless in front of people! Ha, what a waste!”
At the corner of the hallway, Hoshi stood by the window.
She didn't date the man, it was more of a collaboration. They both avoided being set up on blind dates anymore.
Fireworks were set off outside, and she watched them quietly.
Mr. Wang walked past, and she heard those unpleasant words clearly. ---
He said that Zhang Chongguang's leg was crippled.
He said that Zhang Chongguang's leg was because of a car accident.
He said, Zhang Chongguang wasn't gout at all. His legs...were crushed to pieces.
Her ears were filled with nothing but him, the world falling silent as if frozen in time. Zhang Chongguang's presence once again shook her to her core, a deafening earthquake in her own world.
At that moment, Ho Hsi felt her heart about to jump out of her chest, her hand gripping tightly.
Crimson blood trickled from between his fingers.
She already had a blood clotting disorder, which was actually very dangerous, but she was oblivious to it.
At this moment, she knew only one thing.
Zhang Chongguang sacrificed his left leg to save her... So, he needs to use a wheelchair, so every time he walks, it's unnatural, so he can't stand and hold Xiao Hoxing, so he told her he has a girlfriend, so he told her that Huo Xi, life is long, find someone!oon as they arrived in this private space, Wen Man knew she wanted to say something intimate but didn't want the domestic staff to hear.She proactively made coffee.The coffee was brewed and placed dow...
