In the kitchen, Fu Xiaozhi was still reeling from what happened just now.
She played with the tissues, and the more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became. She almost tore up a box of tissues.
Fang Qinyang: "Zhizhi, what's wrong with you?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "Don't mention it, I want to die."
Fu Xiaozhi told Fang Qinyang what she had just been "played with" by Jiang Mingzhu. After hearing this, Fang Qinyang couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.
Fu Xiaozhi: "You are laughing at me too!! I will ignore you!!"
Fang Qinyang: "No, no, no, Zhizhi, you are so cute."
Fu Xiaozhi: "...Why is that Zheng Linxu looking for Zhuzhu?"
When mentioning this matter, Fang Qinyang's expression turned serious: "Boss Zheng should be here to take Zhuzhu back to New York."
"When Zhuzhu was hospitalized last time, her mother suddenly came over. Her mother didn't really want Zhuzhu to be too involved in this matter, so she gave her a month to resolve it last time, and it's about to expire now."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Does he like Zhuzhu?"
Fang Qinyang: "...No, he is just strict with Zhuzhu."
In fact, the description "relatively strict" is considered restrained.
Zheng Linxu was not strict with Jiang Mingzhu, he was even more exaggeratedly strict than her adoptive parents. He took Jiang Mingzhu to study for a double degree two years after college, and Zheng Linxu personally supervised her studies during her master's degree.
Including Jiang Mingzhu's illness and physical problems due to Pei Ye's death, it was Zheng Linxu who took care of her and later formulated a series of rules for her diet.
After hearing Fang Qinyang finish talking about Zheng Linxu's "strictness" towards Jiang Mingzhu, Fu Xiaozhi's facial features wrinkled up: "You don't care what you eat?"
No wonder his daughter just talked about a bunch of snacks on the phone, which she couldn't usually eat.
Fang Qinyang: "...Boss Zheng's desire to control is a bit stronger, but it is also for Zhuzhu's own good."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Is he the only one who arranged Zhuzhu's nutritionist?"
Fang Qinyang: "Yeah."
Fu Xiaozhi: "His wife is also very unlucky, she can tolerate him like this."
Fang Qinyang: "Boss Zheng has no wife."
Fu Xiaozhi: "How can he get a daughter without a wife?"
Fang Qinyang: "..."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Oh, divorced, right? If this kind of person were me, I would also divorce."
Zheng Linxu's love life is a bit mysterious, and Fang Qinyang doesn't know much about him, so he doesn't say much about it.
After Fu Xiaozhi finished the gossip, he realized that he had forgotten the key point. Zheng Linxu wanted to take Jiang Mingzhu away!
She would not allow anyone to take Jiang Mingzhu away.
Fu Xiaozhi stood up and walked to the living room.
——
When Jiang Mingzhu and Zheng Linxu were mediating, Fu Xiaozhi suddenly came out, and Zheng Linxu was interrupted mid-sentence.
Fu Xiaozhi sat down next to Jiang Mingzhu, looked at Zheng Lin and said, "I don't allow you to take away my beads."
Zheng Linxu: "..."
Fu Xiaozhi's words seemed too childish to Zheng Linxu's ears, as if they were words Sansan would only say when she was protecting a snack.
"Miss Fu, this is for her safety." Zheng Lin said, "You have already understood the situation. There is a risk of her identity being exposed if she stays in Beicheng. I am far away in New York and cannot watch her 24 hours a day. She ensures her safety."
Fu Xiaozhi: "If you can't do it, I can."
"I just asked my brother to send someone over to protect her. Beicheng is our Fu family's final decision. If it doesn't work out, let her live with me. If anyone dares to touch her, I will be killed first!" Fu Xiaozhi slapped her. Her breasts looked like a heroic female fighter.
Zheng Linxu couldn't help laughing.
His smile also embarrassed Fu Xiaozhi: "Anyway, what I mean is that as long as I'm here, nothing will happen to Zhuzhu."
Zheng Lin said: "Yes, I understand."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Also, haven't you already cleaned up their information?"
Zheng Linxu
: "There are no absolutes in the world."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Then you are not confident in your own strength?"
Zheng Linxu: "..."
Fu Xiaozhi: "I have no other intention. I just want Zhuzhu to stay in Beicheng. She also wants to stay, right Zhuzhu?"
Jiang Mingzhu nodded towards Zheng Linxu, "I don't want to leave."
Zheng Linxu rubbed her temples and looked at the two young and similar women in front of her, feeling as if she was coaxing children in a kindergarten.
Jiang Mingzhu: "If Zhou Li can't find out my identity, Zhan Yubai can't possibly seek death and tell him."
Now that Zhou Li has dumped her, she is no longer in Wanhua, and the engagement date has been announced to the public, Zhan Yubai will not regard her as a thorn in his side for the time being.
——
There was never an agreement on whether to leave or stay, but Zheng Linxu had arrived, and Jiang Mingzhu decided to "exercise the friendship of the landlord."
In the evening, Jiang Mingzhu went out to eat with Zheng Linxu alone.
Arriving at a nearby shopping mall, Jiang Mingzhu went straight to the children's clothing section to choose clothes for Sansan.
Zheng Linxu usually dresses Sansan in sportswear, but Sansan likes small skirts very much, so Jiang Mingzhu bought her a dozen pairs at once.
"What do you think of this?" Jiang Mingzhu picked up a suspender skirt and asked Zheng Linxu for his opinion.
Zheng Lin said: "You wear it well."
Jiang Mingzhu: "...This is children's clothing!"
Zheng Lin said: "You are a child."
After saying half a word, Jiang Mingzhu was so angry that she punched him twice, "Have you ever seen a child with such a good figure? Humph!"
Zheng Linxu held her arm and pinched her angry face with the other hand, "This is how Sansan reacts when she is angry."
Jiang Mingzhu glared at him, and before she could refute, she suddenly heard someone calling her: "Sister!"
A little boy with a milky voice.
When Jiang Mingzhu looked back, she saw Zhou Qi Zuo and Zhou Qi You, as well as Ming Yue and Zhou Ren.
Jiang Mingzhu immediately separated from Zheng Linxu and tidied her hair.
Mingyue and Zhou Ren glanced at Zheng Linxu first, and then looked at each other with slightly complicated expressions.
Zhou Qi from the left and Zhou Qi from the right came up to surround Jiang Mingzhu, "Sister Zhuzhu, where is Uncle Yuanye?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "...He's not here, he should be busy with work."
This answer sounded guilty and perfunctory, and Ming Yue and Zhou Ren looked at each other again.
"Who is this uncle?" Zhou Qizuo looked at Zheng Linxu curiously.
Jiang Mingzhu: "He is my friend."
As soon as she finished answering Zhou Qi Zuo's question, Ming Yue walked up. She smiled and exchanged greetings with Jiang Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, we meet again. Last time we went home from Disneyland, Xiao Zuo and Xiao You kept talking about you."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Really? Haha, I miss them too."
Ming Yue: "Why didn't Yuan Ye accompany you today?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "He was busy, and my friend happened to come over to accompany him to buy some clothes for his daughter."
Mingyue and Zhou Ren had been watching Zheng Linxu just now, and they must have regarded her as the kind of woman who has two things to do, but they are not familiar with her, and Jiang Mingzhu doesn't care much what they think.
After saying a few words, Jiang Mingzhu and Zheng Linxu left first.
When Jiang Mingzhu came out, she accidentally tripped. Zheng Linxu hugged her waist in time and said, "Be careful."
Ming Yue and Zhou Ren happened to also see this scene.
Zhou Qiyou suddenly popped up, "Wow, does Sister Zhuzhu have two boyfriends? That's amazing!"
