Chapter 367 80 The richest man’s wife is too tempting 18
(The previous chapter has 2000 more words, go read it!)
Zhou Chengan obviously wanted to eat more. Lu Zhihuan was puzzled, "Still eating? You'll get sick if you keep eating!"
He finally came to his senses and realized that he really couldn't eat anymore. He said a little embarrassedly, "No more."
When she asked him this, he felt a little full.
He stood up and was about to clean up the dishes, but Lu Zhihuan quickly held her hand.
"Let me do it!" Lu Zhihuan quickly cleared the dishes.
The delicate white fingers on his hand felt incredibly soft.
There is also a soft spot in my heart.
He did eat a lot and wanted to go to the bathroom.
He went downstairs to the public toilet in the compound.
As soon as he came out, he met the girl from the opposite door, who stretched out her hand to block his way.
"Brother Zhou, I have something to tell you." She looked at Zhou Cheng'an with eyes full of pity.
"Let's talk about it in the courtyard." It was really inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in this remote place.
He raised his foot to leave, but the little girl stretched out her arms to stop him from passing.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Cheng'an was a little angry. He knew that the girl had feelings for him, so he tried to avoid her if possible.
It seems that this compound is no longer habitable.
The little girl felt it was difficult to speak, and stammered, "Brother Zhou, listen to me and hold on!"
Zhou Chengan was confused. "Then this isn't the place to talk."
The little girl was very stubborn, "No, say it here."
Zhou Cheng'an's face darkened, "Gu Mingfen, please stop." No matter what he wanted to say, this was not the place to talk.
If others saw him, they would misunderstand him, so he stood up and left.
The little girl stubbornly stopped him and said with her neck stiffened: "My sister-in-law is having an affair at home!"
Zhou Chengan's face turned completely black, "Nonsense."
"Puchi!" Lu Zhihuan leaned against the wall with his arms folded over his chest, unable to hold back his laughter.
Gu Mingfen turned around and saw that it was Lu Zhihuan, and her face turned purple.
It is extremely embarrassing to talk about someone behind their back when they are caught, but she is not afraid.
Everyone in the compound said so. Thinking of this, she felt more justified. "The night Zhou left, Li Weiguo left you in the middle of the night. I don't know what happened between you two, but the talks broke down. You even said the money wasn't enough and you didn't agree!"
She saw that Zhou Chengan's face was extremely ugly and his voice was weak, so she didn't dare to continue.
Zhou Cheng'an's face was stern, and he spoke in a serious tone, "In this compound, we all live under the same roof and should be united and friendly. You are so wantonly spreading rumors. Isn't this destroying our reputation?"
He grew angrier as he spoke, his gaze as cold as a knife, his tone as icy as ice. "Do you know what you just said would bring her such devastating consequences if someone else heard it?"
Gu Mingfen had never seen him so angry and furious. She was so scared that she was shaking like a sieve and tears were streaming down her face.
"It wasn't me who said that. It was Li Weiguo who said that, and everyone in the compound said the same thing."
Zhou Cheng'an's words made her feel like she was falling into an icy cave.
"Have you forgotten the pain now that the wound has healed?"
Gu Mingfen's eyes widened in shock. "Brother Zhou? You promised me that you would never mention this matter again."
Yes, how could she forget!
Two years ago, Brother Zhou had just moved into this compound, and one day there was no one in the compound.
She was washing clothes at the time, and she didn't know how her cousin could be so bold as to break into her house and...
She was so scared that she was about to scream but her cousin covered her mouth and she couldn't even ask for help.
She remembered that her cousin was about to lock the door.
It was Brother Zhou's timely arrival that made her cousin feel a little scared. She still remembered that her cousin said that she had asked him to go.
She quickly shook her head and begged Brother Zhou to help her drive her cousin away. Fortunately, Brother Zhou trusted her at that time.
My cousin was dark, thin and short, and was no match for Brother Zhou at all. He was beaten badly by Brother Zhou and never dared to come to the compound again after that.
So only the three of them knew about this matter.
It was because of this incident that she fell in love with Brother Zhou. His character is really beyond reproach.
Zhou Cheng'an took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. "You were lucky enough to avoid being caught up in the whirlpool of public opinion, but you've also experienced the pain of being unable to defend yourself. But why did you inflict the same suffering on her? In the entire compound, you... are the one who should least be complicit in these rumors."
Gu Mingfen covered her ears and trembled all over, "Stop talking! You promised me not to mention this again." She didn't, she was innocent, she knew it herself, she was indeed wronged.
Zhou Cheng'an walked around her and walked towards Lu Zhihuan, touching her head. "It's okay." He took Lu Zhihuan's hand with his left hand and said, "Come with me."
Gu Mingfen looked at the two people holding hands, and her heart seemed to have completely died.
He held Lu Zhihuan's hand and stood in the middle of the yard. He looked around and said in a loud voice, "Neighbors, I know my wife has only been in the compound for a few days and is not familiar with you. Naturally, you don't know her well yet. If you don't know her well, you shouldn't spread those untrue rumors based on hearsay.
Your gossip and groundless speculation are deeply hurtful to her and unfairly slanderous. From today on, I will not allow anyone to slander her even a little bit. If I hear anyone making up stories about her without any evidence again, don't blame me, Zhou Cheng'an, for being rude.
The villain in Lu Zhihuan's heart clapped in surprise, "Wow! His aura is now 2.8 meters tall."
As soon as Zhou Cheng'an finished speaking, the courtyard fell silent.
Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to say a word. Those who made groundless guesses had pale eyes and pale expressions on their faces, and were a little evasive.
Her fingers unconsciously tugged at her collar, and she pursed her lips nervously, feeling embarrassed and uneasy inside.
The confident look he had originally had had long since vanished, leaving only the fear of his own rash behavior after jumping to conclusions.
As for those who followed the trend and gossiped, they shrank their necks and secretly glared at those who spread the story as if it were the truth.
After two years of getting along, they have a good understanding of Zhou Cheng'an. Although he is a bit taciturn, he is always willing to lend a hand when anyone has difficulties.
Zhou Chengan hadn't had a quarrel with anyone in the past two years. Now, seeing him so angry, everyone lowered their heads silently, feeling annoyed at how they had joined in the fun so easily.
The two of them returned upstairs, and Zhou Chengan finally let go of her hand. He looked at her and said seriously, "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then took a breath and said to Lu Zhihuan, "Give me a day."
Lu Zhihuan was confused, "What?"
Zhou Cheng'an said nothing more, only saying, "You go and rest first! I'm going out for a while."
He patted her head, turned around and went downstairs.
At this moment, Lu Zhihuan was reminded of 996. [That human trafficker named Ma Rong came out today and seemed to be looking for someone. I guess she's looking for you, the host...]
Lu Zhihuan watched Zhou Chengan walk away before replying to 996, "Let's go, let's go meet her."
She changed into a set of half-new clothes and went downstairs.

I updated one chapter yesterday because something happened at home: a family member passed away, so I didn't have time to write a second chapter. I'm still 2000 words short, so I'll continue to make up for it tomorrow.
