Chapter 116 Domestic Violence

Chapter 116 Domestic Violence

The original owner had been dating her boyfriend for five years. After graduation, they worked in the same city, rented a house and lived together. Not long after, she became pregnant.

So, both parties planned to get married, and the dowry and gift price were negotiated.

At this time, the boyfriend actually abused the original owner because the original owner did not make breakfast for him in the morning. He pressed his knee against the original owner's stomach, causing the child to miscarry.

And the original owner could no longer have children.

After hearing this news, the original owner was devastated and didn't want to get married anymore. She was worried that she would be abused in the future. She was still pregnant, but her boyfriend could still do that. If she couldn't give birth, wouldn't she be beaten to death?

So, the original owner took the initiative to cancel the engagement and returned all the betrothal gifts.

Even so, her boyfriend was not going to let her go and took her to court.

He asked the original owner to return all the money he spent during the relationship. Even if it was a joint expense between the two of them, he would list all the expenses on the bill and ask the original owner to compensate him.

At the same time, he refused to admit the fact that he had domestic violenceed the original owner, causing her miscarriage, and he also refused to admit that he had lived with the original owner.

The original owner was beaten, lost her child, lost the possibility of becoming a mother in the future, and had to pay back the money they had spent on their joint expenses to her boyfriend.

She just graduated and her family is not well off. Where does she get the money?

With life hopeless, the original owner jumped off the overpass.

It was because she did not open her eyes, misjudged the person, and fell in love with the wrong person, and finally ended up in this situation. She hated it, but there was nothing she could do.

Years of education have made her dare not cross the line, allowing the scumbag to go unpunished and harm one young girl after another.

In the end, there was no punishment, and she was unwilling to accept it.

……

"Shanshan, after graduation, will you stay in City A or go back to your hometown?"

The person asking the questions was the original owner's roommate, named Wei Xuehai. She came from a well-off family and was a rich and beautiful woman, but she was too low-key in her daily life. Even the original owner, her roommate, didn't know that she was actually a rich second-generation.

It was only when graduation was approaching that a low-key lady came to the dormitory and distributed invitations to everyone.

"Stay in City A. Of course, I will not leave City A unless I pass the postgraduate entrance examination. By the way, you don't need us to be bridesmaids on your wedding day, right? I've gained a lot of weight recently, and I don't look good in a skirt."

But Zhang Shan saw the starry eyes and greed in the other roommates' eyes. She thought she had a good relationship with Wei Xuehai, so she wanted to be a bridesmaid and it would be best if she could add the groomsmen on WeChat.

Wei Xuehai's marriage was a business one, but of course, there was also an emotional basis. The best man and bridesmaids were all friends who grew up together and were from the same circle, and they were either rich or noble.

In her previous life, the original owner was busy moving and had no time to go. After all, she was not very familiar with Wei Xuehai.

During the four years of college, everyone was busy with their own things. Since they had boyfriends, they were usually not in the dormitory, so they met seldom and had little communication, so naturally their relationship was average.

"No, no, feel free to eat. You don't need to lose weight. You are my family for the day, so just eat and drink well."

Wei Xuehai also breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Shan's straightforward hint really helped her out. She was just worried that other roommates would clamor to be her bridesmaids the next moment.

Her wedding was not the kind of occasion for fun and laughter. All the guests were important figures, and they were also the connections her father wanted to introduce to her and pave the way for her.

If she messes up, her partners will think she is not stable enough and will not trust her.

The others showed disappointment in their eyes. It was such a good opportunity. If they performed well, they might even marry into a wealthy family.

After everyone dispersed, they hid at the stairs in groups of two or three, complaining, "Wei Xuehai is guarding against us like a thief. She has been our roommate for four years, but she keeps everything secret. It's like who cares about her."

"That's right. And Zhang Shan, who usually keeps quiet, wanted to be Wei Xuehai's bridesmaid straight away. She's really shameless!"

"I guess she is jealous of Wei Xuehai's change in status and wants to marry into a wealthy family. Unfortunately, Wei Xuehai doesn't like her."

"She really knows how to flatter herself."

You and I were talking at the same time, and neither of us noticed Zhang Shan standing behind them.

"You are so shameless. There must be someone else who wants to marry into a wealthy family. Is that because I ruined your plans, you are hiding here and plotting against me?"

The three of them turned around, feeling embarrassed as if they had been caught.

"Why don't you dare to speak? Weren't you chattering happily just now?"

"Coward!"

Zhang Shan suddenly felt bored. This kind of thing was just a matter of talking. She thought she could fight for three hundred rounds.

At this time, the phone rang.

"Hey, okay, go find it first, I'll be there in a minute."

After hanging up the phone, she went downstairs directly. Only then did the other three roommates dare to leave. Zhang Shan’s aura just now frightened them so much that they dared not speak.

The three of them also left, and a man came out from the corner, who was the other subject of discussion.

Wei Xuehai: "I really misjudged you."

I originally thought that Zhang Shan was just a love-brained person who couldn't care about anything else except love, but I didn't expect that she was so powerful. She is not weaker than her grandfather.

Maybe there will be a chance for cooperation in the future.

She had a hunch that Zhang Shan was not someone who could be kept in the dark, and that in the future she would transform from a carp into a dragon and soar into the sky.

Wei Xuehai ignored the differences between Zhang Shan and the original owner. This was also the world's rules protecting Zhang Shan.

The original owner's boyfriend Zhu Lian was leisurely drinking milk tea at the door of the agency until Zhang Shan came over, and then they went to see the house together.

"This house is nice, and the decoration is all new. The owner was in a hurry to go abroad after the decoration, so he entrusted us to rent it out for him."

As soon as Zhang Shan entered, she smelled a strong pungent odor. Many things were new but also very cheap. They had just been renovated. If a formaldehyde test was done, it would probably report a negative odor, right?

"How's it going? Do you like it?"

Zhang Shan saw Zhu Lian's satisfied expression, but she was picky, "How much is this month?"

"1500, deposit one and pay three."

The decoration is so good and the furniture is all brand new. This price is considered a conscience price for houses of the same type, but a transaction without bargaining is soulless. Zhu Lian is a big man. He appears to be carefree and not fussy, but deep down he still hopes that Zhang Shan will bargain for him.

Zhang Shan didn't respond. Zhu Lian was too proud to bargain, but he really liked this house.

"Shanshan, men work outside and women work inside, please sign this agreement."

"I have to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, so I may not live here often. If there is anything later, I will not be able to get here in time. You should sign the agreement then."

What a joke. If she signs the agreement, will she still have to pay rent in the future?

It's quite a beautiful thought.

Zhu Lian hesitated to speak.

He wanted to give up, but Zhang Shan was better at it than him, and he couldn't beat her. After all, Zhang Shan had said that she was going to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination and would not live here often, so it seemed unreasonable to ask her to pay the rent.

In the previous life, the original owner was very careful with his money and felt that the rent was too expensive. The landlord was unwilling to lower the price, so he did not bargain and simply looked for another house.

The house they later found often had power and water outages, and Zhu Lian's violent nature gradually became apparent.

In the end, Zhu Lian signed the agreement himself.

"Shanshan, you can live with us and share the rent."

"I didn't say I wanted to live with you? We haven't gotten married yet. If you don't marry me after we live together, who else will marry me?"

"What era is this? Why do people still mind having a girlfriend with a history of cohabitation? Your thinking is too backward."

"Really? You don't mind that I lived with my ex-boyfriend?"

Zhu Lian's smile froze, and there was anger in his eyes. He squeezed out a sentence from behind his teeth, "Have you really lived with your boyfriend?"

His clenched fists represent his inner restlessness.

Are you angry?

Didn't you say no man would mind?

"Are you serious?"

Zhang Shan ignored him and looked around this loft which was only 40 square meters. There was a bathroom and kitchen at the entrance. The bathroom had dry and wet areas separated. There were two washing machines under the kitchen workbench. They were a brand she had never seen before and were brand new.

Next is the integrated living and dining room with large floor-to-ceiling windows. You can see the river outside the window and the bridge is not far away.

The room was on the second floor, with a 1.8-meter-high bed, bedside tables in contrasting colors, and a mattress of a unknown brand. The pungent smell was even stronger.

There is a row of wardrobes next to the big bed, all made of density boards and have a large capacity.

Zhang Shan went downstairs and saw Zhu Lian still standing in the same place. She smiled and said, "I lied to you. My ex-boyfriend was an online romance partner and we haven't met offline yet."

"You didn't lie to me?"

Zhu Lian was skeptical.

"Don't you know me? I'm so conservative. I've been dating you for four years, but you still haven't succeeded. Are you going to admit that you are worse than a man you've never even seen?"

"Impossible!" Without even a second thought, Zhu Lian4 refused to admit that he was worse than others.

"So, you do mind, don't you?"

At this time, if Zhu Lian still didn't know that Zhang Shan was playing a trick on him, then he would be very stupid.

Without waiting for Zhu Lian to explain, Zhang Shan went out. She was going to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, and the house she rented was also in the school. It was cheap and very convenient.

"You're angry?"

Zhu Lian chased after her and stopped Zhang Shan.

"No, I just said that my idea is correct. I don't know if others mind, but you definitely mind."

"I just love you too much and can't accept that someone else has you. Even if you two have become the past, don't worry, we love each other so much that we will definitely be together until the end. Don't you believe in me and the relationship between us?"

"Zhu Lian, I believe you love me, and you will understand and respect my choice. Wouldn't it be better if we save all the good things for the wedding night?"

"Of course, I love you so much, of course I understand your choice, but I can't control myself, I love you too much."

"Since you love me, you should learn to restrain yourself. Just like me, I also want to be with you every minute, but I restrain myself. I can't disrespect you."

Zhu Lian: “…”

Who the hell wants that kind of respect?

What he wants is physical pleasure. If he doesn't think about this, why would he fall in love?

But they have been talking about it for so many years, and he is unwilling to give up now. The cost is too high, and he is unwilling to do so.

Zhu Lian looked at Zhang Shan's back with an extremely ugly expression. After she walked away, he made a phone call, "Let's go to Jinfenshijia tonight, do you want to meet up?"

"Hey, you're not going to accompany your nun anymore?"

The Golden Age is an entertainment venue that provides everything from eating, drinking and having fun. Zhu Lian and his friends often patronize the Golden Age, and they vent here the happiness that they could not get from the original owner.

Only after Zhu Lian left did Zhang Shan come out from a small alley.

"Fortunately, the original owner wanted to wait until the two of them graduated and could get married before committing their lives to each other. Otherwise, Zhang Shan would feel uncomfortable using this body."

After returning to school, I cleaned the rented apartment and opened the windows for ventilation before returning to the dormitory.

Through the door, Zhang Shan could still hear laughter from inside, but as soon as she opened the door, the laughter stopped abruptly.

She didn't feel embarrassed. She went to bed, tidied up the quilt, put it in the bag, and put all the books in the storage box. It seemed that she was not moving, but changing dormitories.

"Zhang Shan, you've found a job, haven't you? What are you still doing with these books? You might as well sell them to the aunt downstairs for 80 cents a pound. It's better than moving them around and throwing them away in the end."

"I'm planning to take the postgraduate entrance exam. Didn't you compete with me for a position before? Can I ask HR now if there's an offer for you?"

"Really?"

"Ah."

The girl ran to the balcony and called HR. She came in shortly after, unable to hide the smile on her face.

"Great! HR sent me a medical examination notice!"

"Zhang Shan, thank you for reminding me."

"You're welcome."

At this time, some jealous people started jumping up and down again.

"You picked up something that someone threw away. What's there to be happy about?"

The female classmate was rather shy and didn’t know how to fight back when she was ridiculed. Her eyes turned red with anger.

"Some people can't even pick it up, what's the point of being jealous? Even if she lost the opportunity, it's not your turn to pick it up."

"you--"

Zhang Shan talked back to the person and felt happy. She called Huolala to transport all the luggage back to the rented house.

The graduation certificate has been obtained, the school is about to close for the holidays, and the graduates will be kicked out by the dormitory manager.

“Although these four years have not been very pleasant, I am still a little reluctant to leave now.”

After living together for so many years, they didn't plan to have a farewell party as they were all busy with their own things.

Not long after moving into the rented house, Zhang Shan went to Wei Xuehai's wedding banquet. She went there alone. As soon as she got off the car, she saw her roommates dressed up and talking to Wei Xuehai, their eyes looking at the groom intentionally or unintentionally.

The groom is five years older than Wei Xuehai. He looks mature, steady, handsome and rich. He is indeed very attractive.

"Shanshan is here!" Wei Xuehai pulled the groom and went forward to greet Zhang Shan.

It’s not that I take it seriously, but I just want to quickly get rid of those tactless roommates.

"congratulations."

"Thank you, please come inside."

The three of them walked into the banquet hall without looking around, and their roommates followed them in, found their seats, and sat down.

Zhang Shan was at the same table with them, far away from the banquet center, which was full of celebrities. They didn't dare to go there because no one introduced them.

After almost finishing the meal, Zhang Shan got up and left, and two of her roommates followed suit.

"Xue Hai hasn't come to toast us yet. Wouldn't it be a bad idea for you to leave so hastily?"

The two looked at Zhang Shan.

Zhang Shan said: "Then you just wait here."

Then she left without looking back.

Seeing this, the two also left.

To be honest, people like them shouldn't come to this wedding banquet. It's quite embarrassing.

The remaining three people looked at each other and finally left.
