Zhou Li canceled the evening activities. After meeting with Director Zhao in the afternoon, he drove to the prime minister's villa alone.
At six o'clock, the car stopped in front of the villa. Zhou Li went down and rang the doorbell, but after waiting for almost five minutes, no one opened the door.
Jiang Mingzhu's car was parked at the door, and she should be at home.
Zhou Li took out his cell phone to make a call.
After beeping for a long time, Jiang Mingzhu answered. Her voice was hoarse and tired, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Li: "Where?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "At home."
Zhou Li: "Is it suitable for a villa?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Well, where else could I be..."
Zhou Li didn't speak. He raised his hand and pressed the video doorbell, but there was no sound from Jiang Mingzhu.
Zhou Li's face darkened, "I understand."
Then he hung up the phone directly.
——
"Hang up again?" Fang Qinyang was dumbfounded, "Can he talk to someone on the phone for more than thirty seconds?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "It should be okay with Zhan Yubai."
She had heard it several times, and three minutes was fine.
All the preferential treatment Zhan Yubai enjoyed from Zhou Li and the Zhou family was because of that kidney.
Before meeting Fu Xiaozhi, Jiang Mingzhu was not so sure of her thoughts. She thought that Zhou Li had some special feelings for Zhan Yubai, otherwise why would he be so patient with her.
It wasn't until a few days ago that Fu Xiaozhi told her Zhou Li's previous attitude towards Zhan Yubai that she was finally sure.
Everything Zhan Yubai enjoys today comes from the kidney that does not belong to her.
At seven o'clock, Fang Qinyang parked the car in the garage of the Xiangfu Villa. After Jiang Mingzhu got out of the car, she and Fang Qinyang walked out together.
The two walked to the door of the villa and suddenly bumped into Zhou Li.
The moment she saw Zhou Li, Jiang Mingzhu almost thought she was hallucinating.
Fang Qinyang's face didn't look too good either.
If I remember correctly, Zhou Li called Jiang Mingzhu just now, and Jiang Mingzhu told him that she was at home.
Now he was caught lying.
Zhou Li glanced at Jiang Mingzhu, and his tone seemed to have been tempered by ice, "Fever? At home?"
Jiang Mingzhu's mind quickly turned around. Zhou Li should have been here when he called her just now.
Zhou Li's sense of oppression was too strong. Fang Qinyang had never been in contact with him before, so seeing him so angry made him a little worried about Jiang Mingzhu.
Jiang Mingzhu said to Fang Qinyang: "Qinyang, you go back first."
Fang Qinyang asked her with his eyes: Are you sure?
Jiang Mingzhu: OK.
Then, Jiang Mingzhu walked around Fang Qinyang, walked to Zhou Li, and hugged his waist with both hands.
She asked with surprise on her face: "Brother, did you come to see me specifically? I'm so happy."
Fang Qinyang: "..."
It seems that her worries are unnecessary. Jiang Mingzhu can always respond to various emergencies with the fastest response.
Fang Qinyang later went back. As soon as she left, Jiang Mingzhu stood up on tiptoes and kissed Zhou Li's chin, "Let's have dinner together tonight."
Zhou Li pushed her away, held her shoulders with his hands, and looked at her coldly, "Where have you been?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I went shopping with Qinyang."
"I really had a fever today, but I feel much better after taking the antipyretic medicine. When you called me just now... I was afraid that you would be worried." Jiang Mingzhu said in a low voice, "You are so cruel to me. You will scold me if you know that I go out shopping. Me."
Zhou Li pursed his lips and said nothing. His expression was judging whether her words were true or false.
Jiang Mingzhu: "I didn't go behind your back to meet other men. My brother won't even be jealous of women, right?"
She leaned her head against his shoulder, rubbing and rubbing, "Don't be angry, I promise I won't lie to you next time."
Zhou Li: "You'd better be."
Although his tone was still cold, his eyes were no longer as gloomy as before.
Jiang Mingzhu knew that her anger was gone.
She was just glad that she went out with Fang Qinyang today. If she came back alone, the dog would definitely think that she was going to find a man behind his back, and he would have all this rubbish in his head.
Jiang Mingzhu smiled heartily, "Brother, do you forgive me? I'll treat you to dinner."
Zhou Li: "No need."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I understand, brother doesn't want to eat, he wants to eat me."
She hooked his belt and hooked him with a pair of fox eyes, "Then let's go to the car?"
"Stop going crazy." Zhou Li slapped her hand away, took a step back, and distanced the two of them.
He straightened his tie and told her coldly, "Come to work as soon as you recover. I don't care for idlers."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Brother, are you concerned about me?"
What responded to her was the figure of Zhou Li who left without looking back.
Jiang Mingzhu was still smiling playfully. She chased after him, stood in front of Zhou Li, and leaned forward to kiss his face.
Zhou Li dodged away in disgust, "Don't move your hands or feet."
"Then I can only give my brother a blowing kiss." Jiang Mingzhu couldn't kiss him on the face, so she blew him a kiss and said, "Drive carefully, good night."
——
After seeing off Zhou Li and returning home, Jiang Mingzhu heard Fang Qinyang clapping.
Jiang Mingzhu: "?"
Fang Qinyang: "It's really amazing. I coaxed Zhou Li down in just a few moments."
Fang Qinyang just watched Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li coquettishly coaxing him from the window.
If she hadn't known Jiang Mingzhu's purpose, she would have thought that Jiang Mingzhu liked Zhou Li very much.
Whether it's expressions or small movements, they are all very precise.
Jiang Mingzhu yawned lazily, "That's what he does."
Fang Qinyang: "I'll eat it too, how about you give me one too?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "...fuck you."
Fang Qinyang felt a little relieved when he saw Jiang Mingzhu's heartfelt smile.
Jiang Mingzhu has been in a bad mood since seeing Zhan Yubai and Liu Pei meet.
Before going to bed at night, Jiang Mingzhu called Zheng Linxu and told Zheng Linxu what she had learned from following Zhan Yubai today.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Please help me find someone to keep an eye on Liu Pei. Since he is involved in this matter, he will definitely be able to find clues."
Zheng Lin said: "Well, I understand what you mean. I'll arrange for someone to come over later."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Okay."
——
The next day Jiang Mingzhu still didn't go to work. She and Fang Qinyang flew back to Hong Kong City and went to the cemetery where Pei Ye was buried.
When Pei Ye was taken to Hong Kong City for treatment, it was too late.
He died less than half a month later and was buried in this private cemetery.
Pei Ye liked sunflowers the most during his lifetime, so Jiang Mingzhu bought a bouquet of sunflowers to see him.
The photo on the tombstone was taken on Pei Ye's twentieth birthday. He smiled warmly.
Jiang Mingzhu knelt down, placed the sunflower in front of the tombstone, touched the photo with her fingers, and said with tears in her eyes, "Brother, I'm here to see you."
The man in the photo was smiling at her, and the wind around her was warm.
Pei Ye's tomb is very quiet and is cleaned regularly every week.
Jiang Mingzhu sat down and talked to him for more than an hour, just like when she was a child.
His response was no longer heard, only the sound of the wind echoing her.
Jiang Mingzhu never mentioned revenge for him, and only shared with him the trivial things in life.
Before Pei Ye left, he told her not to blame anyone.
She is too small-minded to be that great.
