On a BMW.

Wen Wen sat in the back seat very uncomfortably. Shen Tulong's tall figure beside her put a lot of pressure on her.

Shen Tulong sat lazily on the back of the chair with his long legs crossed. His long legs and broad shoulders made him look extremely oppressive.

"Thank you, Mr. Shen Tulong."

Shen Tulong half-closed his eyes and said, "You're welcome. I remember your home is quite far from here. What are you doing here today?"

He started chatting intentionally or unintentionally, as if to relieve her stress.

Wen Wen said in a soft voice, "I'm here for the interview."

interview?

Shen Tulong was very surprised and looked at her in confusion. He remembered... the woman in front of him was obviously a housewife with a hungry baby girl at home. How could she just have an interview and leave her child alone?

"I remember you have a daughter, right? If you go out to work, who will take care of the child at home?"

Wenwen smiled bitterly: "Lele will go to kindergarten next. If I don't work, the pressure at home will be too great. Nowadays, even a reliable kindergarten that is slightly closer to home is not cheap."

Shen Tulong: It turns out it’s because of family burden.

He remembered that Meng Shao had previously offered to sympathize with her because she had damaged his custom-made suit. At that time, he only said that she was his wife's relative and did not mention that her family was in such a difficult situation.

"Where's the man at home?" he asked.

Shen Tulong thought, could this be a single mother?

The moment he asked the question, he instantly regretted it, fearing that it would bring up the girl's sad memories.

Is this either a divorce or the husband is no longer alive?

Otherwise, who would allow a weak woman to leave her family at a critical time to raise her children and go out to find a job?

Shen Tulong looks domineering and has a bad temper, but he is actually very caring towards women. Especially for ordinary women like this, he never makes things difficult for them.

It wasn't because he was unfaithful. After all, the woman in front of him was fat and not pretty, he just felt sorry for her.

Wen Wen: "My child's father is too busy and doesn't come home for a long time. Now he doesn't give any money to the family, so I decided to go out to work."

"Oh?"

It turns out they are not divorced and are still alive.

This is funny!

My wife is working hard at home to take care of the children, and there is a hungry baby to feed, but he doesn’t come home for a long time and doesn’t provide household expenses. Such a man is too irresponsible.

Shen Tulong sneered in his heart.

Wenwen explained: "It's mainly because the economic situation is bad right now, and my husband's company is losing money... and they're busy..."

Wen Wen spoke up for Zheng Hongjie not for any other reason but to maintain her last bit of self-esteem. She lowered her head and spoke in a weak voice.

"Really? What company does he work for? Why doesn't he change jobs when there are serious losses? You can't put all the pressure on a woman." Shen Tulong asked.

Wenwen: "Spudon."

"Speton?"

Shen Tulong raised his eyebrows in surprise. If he remembered correctly, this was a larger branch of the Meng Group. The business was quite good and the annual financial reports were quite impressive. How could the situation she described happen?

In an instant, Shen Tulong understood the situation.

It’s not that her husband is incapable of taking care of her, it’s that he simply doesn’t want to take care of her.

"Humph."

He looked out the window coldly and stopped talking.

This is why Shen Tulong has always been against getting married. He feels that if a man is not fully prepared, he should not easily promise marriage to a woman.

Marrying a wife and having children but treating her coldly is an unforgivable sin!

"So how did your interview go?"

As soon as the question was asked, Wen Wen was stunned, then she bit her lip and stopped talking.

The answer is obvious, failure.

Seeing that the tears that had just stopped welling up in his eyes again, Shen Tulong quickly ended the topic.

"Okay, no need to say more."

He was usually strong and fierce among men, but when faced with a woman who was about to cry, he really had no way to deal with it.

He doesn't know how to coax her anyway.

Wenwen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers and controlled her emotions.

"I blame myself. I was too busy raising children during the past few years after marriage to improve myself. I am a little out of touch with society. Plus, my image is really not that good... I can understand why they didn't hire me."

Compared to her former youthful beauty, Wen Wen has gained a lot of weight now, and her face and figure are round. Coupled with the heavy dark circles, dullness, spots on her face, and frizzy hair, her image is indeed very ordinary.

Shen Tulong didn't say anything.

According to his observation, few women who take care of children can maintain a beautiful appearance, unless the man is particularly rich and can hire a nanny to free the woman's hands.

Otherwise, if they work too hard, women will age quickly.

After two interviews today, Wenwen realized that it would not be easy to find her next job.

If all else fails, just like the interviewer said, go to a restaurant and work as a waiter and wash dishes. Unfortunately, that kind of working hours conflicts with the time I spend taking care of Lele.

Soon, the car stopped in front of a nearby hospital.

The doctor simply cleaned the wound, applied medicine, and gave Wenwen a simple bandage.

Fortunately, it was just a skin injury, nothing serious. I just had to keep the wound away from water for the next few days.

Wenwen thought to herself: What should I do if I can't touch water? I have to buy waterproof gloves when I get home, otherwise no one will wash the dishes at home.

Shen Tulong paid the medical expenses and asked his assistant to go to a nearby store to buy her a loose-fitting skirt.

Wenwen didn't expect that although he looked fierce, he was actually very caring when doing things.

I was touched for a moment: "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

"No need to be so long-winded, as long as you are okay."

He handed her the newly bought skirt and said, "While there are few people in the clinic, please close the curtain and change your clothes. Otherwise, what will others think when you walk on the street?"

When Wenwen was changing clothes, the bag she had placed outside fell to the ground, and a small black notebook fell out of it.

Shen Tulong bent down to pick it up and accidentally saw the daily expenses recorded in densely packed words in the notebook.

On the morning of the 4th, green vegetables cost 2.5 yuan

At noon on the 5th, soy sauce and salt, a total of 11 yuan

……

Shen Tulong closed the notebook and put the things back into his bag.

When Wen Wen came out after changing, she thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you very much. I will return the money for the medical expenses and the skirt later."

Shen Tulong thought about the few dollars worth of daily necessities in the little notebook. It seemed that she was under a lot of pressure in life.

"No, you should save the money. It was my driver's carelessness that injured you. I should pay for it."

Wenwen walked out of the hospital and prepared to scan a shared bicycle to go back.

Seeing her limping, Shen Tulong looked at the time on his watch again.

He took the initiative to say, "You live in Dongcheng District, right? I just happen to be going there, so please share my car with me."
