Mr. Gu, my wife has blocked you.

Song Jiayu nodded, "It seemed like she was. She rushed towards me like a madman, yelling a lot of nonsense. One of her eyes was empty. I was scared to death, so I didn't pay attention. I just heard her keep talking about Hongshan."

Then he couldn't help but complain, "I don't know what the mall's security is for. They let a lunatic like this in."

After Song Jiayu finished speaking, he realized that Su Wanqin's expression was a little strange, as if she was surprised, suspicious, and a little uneasy.

She paused and called out in a low voice, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Su Wanqin came back to her senses, "It's okay, how are you? Are you not hurt?"

"No, she didn't touch me, she just scared me."

In the past, if something happened to her outside, Su Wanqin would definitely be more concerned, but today she didn't ask too much. After hearing what she said, she just said, "You still have things to do tomorrow, go to bed early."

Song Jiayu responded, "Mom, you should go to bed early too."

Su Wanqin said "hmm" absentmindedly. After Song Jiayu went upstairs, she took out her cell phone with a sullen face and called Zhou Xun.

As soon as the call was connected, she said bluntly, "Jiayu said that she was harassed by a crazy woman in the mall today, and she kept shouting Hongshan and Fu Hongan! Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing!"

There was silence on the other end of the phone. Two seconds later, a woman's voice rang out, "Did you...did you call the wrong number? My husband's last name is Zhou."

Su Wanqin was startled, but quickly calmed down, "Master Zhou... Master Zhou? Who are you?"

"Zhou Xun is my husband. He is tutoring the children right now. Are you...are you looking for him?"

The woman looked at the S on the caller ID and spoke hesitantly.

"I called the wrong number, but I do have something to discuss with Master Zhou. Please ask him to get back to me when he's free."

"it is good."

Su Wanqin didn't say anything more and hung up the phone. She became more and more dissatisfied with Fu Hongan. He didn't even carry such an important thing as a cell phone with him!

The woman walked towards her son's room with her cell phone. The door was ajar. Under the warm white light, a big and a small child sat next to each other. Zhou Xun was drawing something on a white paper with a pen in his hand, while his son Zhou Yu was watching him intently, his eyes full of admiration for his father.

“Will this look good?”

Zhou Xun asked.

Zhou Yu nodded and used sign language to gesture. Zhou Xun laughed and said, "You are still young. Practice more and you will be able to draw better in the future."

Zhou Yu asked him in sign language, "Dad, who did you learn to draw from? Grandma said that when you were a kid you couldn't even draw a round egg."

Zhou Xun rubbed his head, "I was naughty when I was little, and I deliberately went against the adults. In fact, I was good at drawing when I was little, but your grandma didn't know."

Zhou Yu signed, "But grandma said you are better now than before."

Zhou Yu didn't say anything, and handed him another piece of paper. "Try again."

Zhou Yu said "hmm", looking very confident.

The woman didn't knock on the door and took the phone back to the bedroom.

It was an hour later when Zhou Xun returned to the room. He was stunned to see that the woman had not rested but was sitting at the head of the bed drawing lines.

Then he came over and sat beside the bed, "Are you not going to sleep yet?"

The woman shook her head and handed him the half-finished product in her hand. "Try the size and see if it's tight."

Zhou Xun then noticed that she was crocheting a pair of gloves. The stitches were fine and neat, and he didn't know what kind of thread she used. It didn't feel prickly to the touch, but was very soft and smooth, with a slightly cool touch, and was very comfortable.

He inserted his finger through the reserved hole, which was neither too big nor too small, and fit perfectly.

"How about it?"

Zhou Xun turned over his hands and found that the gloves fit him perfectly, covering the ugly scars on his hands.

"It's a good fit," he paused and said, "It's a great hook, thank you."

The woman's eyelashes trembled, and she reached out to take it. "I'll get it done as soon as possible."

Zhou Xun nodded and reached out to take the phone. The woman suddenly said, "A woman just called you. I saw you were tutoring Xiao Yu, so I answered the phone for you."

Zhou Xun's face turned cold, "Didn't I tell you not to touch my phone?"

The woman turned pale and stammered, "I'm sorry..."

Zhou Xun went out with his cell phone in hand, looking gloomy.

After a while of the door closing sound, the woman opened the curtains a little.

The rented house was very small and the soundproofing was not good, so Zhou Xun had to go downstairs every time he made a phone call.

The street lights stretched his shadow very long, and even if you couldn't hear the sound, you could feel his impatience.

She felt a little uneasy, as if she had become very tense ever since he changed jobs to work for that perfume company, especially every time she received a call from that woman named S.

On the other side, Han Ruoxing was nestling in Gu Jingyan's arms, listening to him telling stories until she was drowsy. Suddenly, the phone on the table rang rapidly, which startled her.

"Who is this late at night?"

Gu Jingyan took the phone, paused, and suddenly said, "Mrs. Qin."

Han Ruoxing was no longer sleepy at once, and she quickly sat up, motioning for Gu Jingyan to answer the call.

Gu Jingyan pressed the answer button, "Mrs. Qin?"

"It's me." Mrs. Qin responded.

Gu Jingyan asked, "It's so late, what's the matter with you calling?"

Mrs. Qin's eyelids twitched. She's quite good at pretending!

Thinking of the twists and turns of this matter, in which Gu Jingyan had helped a lot, Mrs. Qin restrained her usual sharpness and said with pursed lips, "Su Wanqin had an ex-husband named Fu Hongshan, who studied art and was my teacher..."

Gu Jingyan turned on the speakerphone and placed his cell phone between them.

"He was extremely talented and was the most proud student of his teacher at the time. He became famous in the circle with his painting "Spring" before he graduated. He didn't need to advertise and sell his paintings like other students. People came to him to buy his paintings and offered very high prices. However, he was not invited to paint commercial paintings at that time."

"My family was urging me to get married, so I got married soon after I graduated. At that time, my husband and I founded a studio to undertake various illustration art paintings. But my skills were limited, and the business was not very good in the first few years. At that time, I heard that he started to accept business orders everywhere, and it seemed that he was in urgent need of money. I just needed a good illustrator, so I contacted him through my former classmates."

"He worked for me for about half a year. One day he suddenly asked me to borrow money, and the asking price was 100,000 yuan."

"One hundred thousand in the 1990s was not a small sum of money, so I asked him what he was going to do with it. His family conditions were not too bad. His parents had passed away, his sister got married early, and he had only one younger brother with some mental disabilities. I thought he was alive and his brother was sick and needed money urgently. Later, he stammered and said that his wife was pregnant and he wanted to buy a house in Kyoto and hold the wedding."

"I wanted to lend it to him, but my husband said that Fu Hongan had been taking private orders behind the company's back. Because of me, my husband never told me. He thought Fu Hongshan shouldn't be short of money and was afraid that he was gambling or something, so he stopped me."
