Chapter 125 Utterly Lost Face
Zhang Hua tried everything he could, but it was like punching soft cotton; he couldn't provoke any jealousy or anger in Lin Fangfang's heart.
Every provocation ended in failure, which made Zhang Hua feel extremely frustrated.
At this moment, Zhang Hua was walking back to his uncle's house with tears streaming down his face.
She went straight into her room, slammed the door shut with a loud bang, and then collapsed onto the bed, bursting into tears.
The aunt was busy preparing food in the kitchen when she suddenly heard Zhang Hua's heart-wrenching cries. Startled, she quickly turned off the stove and rushed to Zhang Hua's door, anxiously knocking:
"Hua Hua, open the door! Who bullied you? Tell your auntie!"
But Zhang Hua, who was inside the house, not only didn't open the door, but cried even harder.
Not long after, Secretary Zhang Donglin also went home after get off work.
As soon as he stepped into the house, he heard his niece's heart-wrenching cries. His brow furrowed, and he asked with concern:
"What happened? What made you cry like this?"
My aunt said with a worried look:
“I don’t know either. As soon as she got home, she went straight to her room and started crying loudly. I knocked on the door several times, but she just wouldn’t open it.”
Secretary Zhang Donglin frowned and analyzed the situation with a very serious expression:
"In my opinion, he most likely got turned away by Zhaoyuan and was rejected. How could this child be so insensible? Now he's completely humiliated!"
"We need to call her brother and sister-in-law right away and tell them to come and take this brat home today. If we let her keep causing trouble like this, who knows what kind of mess she'll make and what embarrassing things she'll do. Sigh!"
After saying this, Secretary Zhang Donglin sighed heavily and hurriedly left his house.
Just then, Auntie came out of the kitchen carrying steaming hot food. Seeing Secretary Zhang Donglin about to leave without saying a word, she quickly opened the door and chased after him, calling out:
"The food is all ready. Won't you eat something before you leave?"
However, Secretary Zhang Donglin seemed not to hear him, and walked away quickly without turning back, leaving behind a distant whisper:
"I'm so angry I'm full, I have no appetite at all!"
Now, let's talk about Zhang Hua. After graduating from university, her family originally arranged for her to work in the bustling city center.
However, Zhang Hua grew up in Jinyang County and had a deep affection for this land. The county was also preparing to develop fireworks export business and needed professional translators. So Zhang Hua decided to return to his hometown first, gain experience for two years, and then try to transfer back to the city for development.
Unfortunately, fate played a cruel trick on her. In this small town of Jinyang, she fell hopelessly in love with someone she should never have loved.
Zhang Hua has always been seen as an outstanding individual, with smooth sailing in both his studies and life, and has never encountered any setbacks.
But now, she has been defeated in the battlefield of love, and her opponent is just an ordinary rural woman! How could she accept this? Whenever she thinks of this, Zhang Hua's heart aches, and tears flow like a burst dam, her cries becoming increasingly sorrowful and desolate.
Secretary Zhang Donglin rushed back to his office without even having lunch and immediately dialed his brother Mayor Zhang Xulin's number.
After the call connected, Zhang Donglin briefly described Zhang Hua's recent situation to his brother and solemnly suggested that his brother come as soon as possible to take Zhang Hua back to the city, so as to prevent this stubborn girl from doing something foolish in a moment of impulse.
Mayor Zhang Xulin was extremely anxious upon hearing what his younger brother said.
He made a quick decision and instructed his secretary to postpone the important meeting originally scheduled for the afternoon.
Immediately afterwards, he called his personal driver, picked up his wife, and sped off towards Jinyang County.
Throughout the journey, Zhang Xulin remained silent with a solemn expression.
More than an hour later, Zhang Xulin finally arrived at his younger brother's house.
They couldn't wait to get out of the car and rushed to their younger brother's house.
The house was deathly silent, as if time had frozen, a stillness that made one feel uneasy.
However, this deathly silence was occasionally broken by intermittent, faint sobs.
The voice was plaintive and heartbreaking.
Zhang Hua's mother rushed into the house, and before she could even settle in, she eagerly asked:
Where is Hua Hua?
The aunt standing nearby quickly stepped forward and said softly:
"She's been crying in her room for over an hour, and she only just managed to stop."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hua's mother's heart clenched, and she rushed to the door.
"Hua Hua, it's Mommy! Open the door for Mommy!"
Zhang Hua's mother knocked on the door anxiously, her voice filled with worry and concern.
However, there was still no movement inside the room, as if no one was inside at all.
Seeing this, Zhang Xulin, who was standing to the side, immediately flew into a rage. He didn't have that much patience, and he shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Open the door! If you don't open the door right now, I'll tear this damn door down today!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hua's mother quickly turned around, gave Zhang Xulin a reproachful glare, and said in a low voice:
"Can you please keep your voice down? Such a loud voice, what if it scares the child?"
Zhang Xulin, however, was furious. Pointing at the tightly closed door, he angrily shouted at Zhang Hua's mother:
"It's all because you spoiled her too much, that she's become so audacious! Not only did she quit her good job without a word, but she also went and did those despicable things that destroy other people's families! She's made me lose all face!"
After hearing her husband's words, Zhang Hua's mother, though feeling that her daughter had indeed gone too far this time, couldn't help but defend her daughter, saying:
"Hua Hua must have been confused for a moment. Maybe there's something else going on. Let's not rush to scold her. Let's wait until she opens the door first."
As she spoke, she turned around again and continued to gently knock on the door, coaxing softly:
"Hua Hua, be good, can you open the door for a second? Let Mommy come in and keep you company. Please don't make Daddy angry..."
A moment later, the tightly closed door slowly opened.
Like a wounded little animal, Zhang Hua suddenly threw herself into her mother's warm embrace, and then burst into tears again.
"Mom, I feel so bad, so bad..."
Zhang Hua sobbed as she spoke, her voice choked with emotion, making it almost impossible to hear her complete words.
The mother hugged Zhang Hua tightly, gently patting her back, and comforted her in an extremely gentle and soft voice:
"Good child, Mom understands how you feel right now. If you want to cry, then have a good cry."
