Chapter 31
Cold War
Chuchu saw that Qu Zhi’s expression wasn’t good and wanted to go over to see her. However, she didn’t expect that she could only turn the doorknob but couldn’t open it.
Qu Zhi locked the door.
“It’s fine. Mommy will open the door when it’s time to sleep.” Liang Wen knew Qu Zhi’s temper. She was a soft-hearted person and would listen to whatever he said. She would never really turn hostile.
Chuchu nodded her head doubtfully.
She decided to sleep well. She had piano class tomorrow, and teacher Xiaowen was waiting for her.
In the end, Qu Zhi still didn’t open the door for him until midnight.
The room was very quiet and the lights were off. Qu Zhi seemed to have fallen asleep.
Liang Wen had already said everything he could, but Qu Zhi refused to reply to him, allowing him to use both hard and soft tactics until he was exhausted.
In the end, Liang Wen didn’t know what to do with her, so he hugged a pillow and slept on the sofa for the night.
When she woke up the next morning, Qu Zhi had already brought Chuchu out.
In the past, Qu Zhi had prepared breakfast the night before. The toast for Chuchu was cut into small pieces, and the green bean soup and shaomai for Liang Wen were also placed in the refrigerator. They could be eaten after they were heated up.
However, there was nothing in the refrigerator today. Even the utensils were clean, so Liang Wen had to go to the breakfast shop to buy some buns.
He was also furious. He had only said a few words, when did her temper become so bad? She had been pampered too much at home to have such a temper!
When he arrived at the company, he was holding his breath and his face was as dark as the gloomy weather. His colleagues were so scared that they didn’t dare to greet him.
Qu Zhi was in a good mood, she ate the crab meat buns from the Mountain Sea Pagoda!
In the past, whenever Liang Wen’s attitude was tough, she wouldn’t dare to say anything. Her attitude would soften instantly, so she would usually compromise after Liang Wen coaxed her a little. She definitely wouldn’t put Liang Wen in an awkward position.
She didn’t expect that he would compromise like this. In the end, after working hard for half of her life, she would only be left with a stomach full of grievances.
Actually, now that she thought about it, who wouldn’t naturally resist? It was Huang Qing’s oppressive education that made her completely lose the ability to talk back.
Qu Zhi remembered that her temper was similar to Huang Qing’s when she was young. She was strong and fierce. In primary school, she even got into a fight with her classmates. It was only after Huang Qing gave birth to Qu Can that Qu Zhi’s personality changed.
Huang Qing only had one precious son, and Qu Can’s health had been poor in the early years, so Huang Qing’s heart ached for him even more.
When she went to work during the day, she left Qu Can in Qu Zhi’s care.
Whenever the siblings had a conflict, Qu Can would complain as soon as Huang Qing came back, and Qu Zhi would always get slapped. Qu Jun didn’t care, so he just watched her get slapped like he was watching a show.
Qu Zhi felt wronged at first. She did not do anything wrong, but Huang Qing never gave her a chance to explain.
Later on, she also understood that sometimes communication was useless. If you didn’t like someone, you just didn’t like them. No matter how hard you fought, it was useless. She simply gave up communication.
After she got married, she treated her husband the same way.
Whatever Liang Wen said, she had never objected.
Although Liang Wen was a little harsh with his words, he had never beat her up.
However, Qu Zhi had always been afraid of that day. So, when they quarreled, she didn’t even dare to refute and would only cry silently.
She wasn’t soft-hearte. She was afraid.
However, she now had enough courage to resist.
Ever since she had sent Huang Qing and the others away last time, the burden on her shoulders had been reduced a lot.
She already had enough ability to deal with Huang Qing, so what was there to be afraid of? She had the ability to protect herself and her child. There was no way to restrain her in the past.
When Liang Wen returned home at night, the door was still closed.
When he went to take a shower, he found that the dirty clothes and socks he had changed out of the day before were still piled on the ground, and there was a smell of sweat.
“Qu Zhi!” He couldn’t take it anymore.
But no one paid him any attention.
Only Chuchu ran over and gently knocked on the bathroom door. “Daddy, Mommy said that you have to do your own things. She doesn’t want to help you wash your clothes anymore.”
Liang Wen shook his head in annoyance and snorted.
What kind of act was she playing this time!
Chuchu thought for a moment and then told him in a childish voice, “Mommy said that you two are having a cold war! Be careful, Mommy won’t play with you anymore!”
Liang Wen was both angry and amused. “Oh, cold war, huh?”
