By the time he recovered slightly and returned to Kyoto, Zheng Miao had already been expelled from the Lin family and imprisoned for discovering confidential documents.
Then there was the fire planned by Shen Anan and set by Lin Zhixu himself...
Zheng Miao was thinking about Fu Guining's kindness in coming to save her during the fire, and decided to remind him a few words.
"Mr. Fu, if you travel, remember to check the vehicle carefully...especially when driving on the highway."
Fu Guining had already turned around to leave. When he heard this, he turned to look at her again.
He raised the corners of his lips and smiled in his eyes: "I have taken note of Madam's concern."
Looking at Fu Guining's leaving figure, Zheng Miao whispered something, but she didn't.
But... I still hope he returns safely.
Zheng Miao strolled around the backyard again, and waited for Fu Guining to leave before planning to return to the Lin family with Lin Zhixu. They were engaged, and Zheng Miao still needed to formally meet the Lin family.
After saying goodbye to his family, Zheng Miao got on the car back to Lin's house.
Perhaps Lin Zhixu's aura was too gloomy. Zheng Miao turned around and found that he had a depressed look on his face and a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Soon, Lin Zhixu stopped talking and asked in a low voice: "Miaomiao, why did you stay with Fu Guining just now?"
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Miao withdrew her worries and turned cold.
"What are you asking me for? Shouldn't you ask Mr. Fu?"
"Miaomiao, Fu Guining is so powerful. He likes you. How dare I say no..."
"Since you don't dare, then we might as well break off the engagement!"
Seeing Zheng Miao heartbroken and with tears rolling down her face, Lin Zhixu felt guilty in his eyes and coaxed him repeatedly: "Miaomiao, I couldn't forgive you for what happened that day, can you give me another chance?"
Zheng Miao felt cold in her heart.
This time was just a test. The Zheng family was still valuable to the Lin family. It might not be easy to break off the engagement with Lin Zhixu for a while.
As he got off the bus, Lin Zhixu saw that Zheng Miao was no longer talking, his eyes were as tender as water: "I'll go to your place tonight."
Zheng Miao's face darkened, she got out of the car and left without responding.
On the way back to the yard, she unexpectedly saw Shen Anan sitting on a stone bench in the garden, talking and laughing with Uncle Zhang who was watering the flowers next to him.
In her previous life, Shen Anan was in love with Lin Zhixu, and he did not know how many stumbling blocks he caused to her, both overtly and covertly!
Even in the end, it was Shen An'an's idea that she was burned alive!
Zheng Miao rolled her eyes and suddenly had an idea.
She turned on her phone and deliberately sent a voice message: "Hey, Zhixu is looking for me tonight, what should I wear?"
After saying that, Zheng Miao went back as if nothing had happened. Sure enough, as soon as she returned to the room, Shen Anan followed her and started wiping tears as soon as she entered the door.
"Sister, I know, because grandma and the others think you have lost your reputation and want me to marry brother Zhixu. You have always been dissatisfied with me. If you are angry, you can hit me and scold me..."
It seemed like an apology, but actually he wanted to anger Zheng Miao and let Lin Zhixu see Zheng Miao's ugly appearance.
Zheng Miao smiled softly: "You are so worried about me, how could I be angry with you? I heard that you like beautiful accessories, but I have many that I don't need. How about you pick some?"
Such magnanimity made Shen Anan feel a little overwhelmed.
However, the Zheng family has a big business, so those jewelry must be good things.
Shen Anan's face turned red, with a little pride in her eyes: "Thank you, sister."
Zheng Miao signaled Xiaodie with her eyes to lead Shen An'an in, and asked someone to set up a table of food and wine outside.
When Lin Zhixu came over, he only saw Zheng Miao wearing a long white dress, with spring eyes, as lovely as if the two had just met.
With his mind wandering, he sat next to her and subconsciously wanted to hold her hand, but Zheng Miaomiao dodged it without leaving a trace, picked up the wine glass, and poured him a glass of wine.
"That night, the two of us didn't even have time to have a drink. Should you make up for me?"
Lin Zhixu's eyes were soft: "Of course, I will give you whatever you want."
Zheng Miao watched Lin Zhixu drinking one cup after another, and kept pouring him wine. His smile was full of smiles, but it didn't reach his eyes at all.
When Lin Zhixu was almost unconscious from drunkenness, Zheng Miao said softly: "Zhixu, you take a rest first, and I'll take a bath."
Lin Zhixu hummed unconsciously, and when he woke up a little, he realized that there was no one around him.
Even though he drank too much, Lin Zhixu suddenly felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen when he thought of the white dress that Zheng Miao wore today that revealed her fair skin.
He stood up, looked at the ajar door, and staggered over...
