February 23rd.
As soon as Zhou Yi saw this date, he understood everything.
Zhou Yi came out of the mall and called Zhou Li: "Are you off work? I'll go to Yushui Bay to find you."
Zhou Li: "We still have ten minutes to go back."
Zhou Yi: "Okay."
At seven o'clock, the early spring sky had dimmed. Zhou Yi's car stopped at the entrance of Yushui Bay and he walked in hastily.
Zhou Li: "Did you find any clues?"
Zhou Yi: "No."
Zhou Li frowned slightly: "Then why are you anxious?"
Zhou Yi: "Did you know that Jiang Mingzhu will fly to New York on the 23rd?"
Zhou Li's face stiffened and his frown deepened: "What is she going to do?"
Zhou Yi: "That kid's birthday is coming soon."
Zhou Li: "Is she going alone?"
Although Zhan Yubai hasn't taken any action against Jiang Mingzhu for a while, it doesn't mean that she has really given up the idea of killing Jiang Mingzhu.
It’s not safe for Jiang Mingzhu to go to New York alone: “Are you free to follow me?”
Zhou Yi: "I'm just here to talk to you about this. I will follow her this time, and Su Min will take your place."
Zhou Li: "Yeah."
After talking about the business, Zhou Yi's expression was not as serious as before. He stared at Zhou Li and looked at him: "How are you these days?"
Zhou Li: "What is it like?"
Zhou Yi: "Don't be pretentious, you know what I'm asking."
Zhou Li: "...it's nothing."
Because he didn't send any messages to Jiang Mingzhu after that day.
He listened to Zhou Yi's words, but every time he opened Jiang Mingzhu's chat window, he couldn't do it. It was more uncomfortable to let him say those words than to kill him.
Seeing Zhou Li's flashing words, Zhou Yi guessed: "You haven't looked for her again, have you?"
Zhou Li: "..."
Zhou Yi: "Just say a few nice words."
Zhou Li: "I can't tell."
After a few seconds of silence, he added, "It's better to listen to her."
Zhou Yi: "Not as good as that? Is there a possibility that she is too lazy to talk to you now, and you still have such confidence?"
Zhou Li: "...It's just a metaphor."
Zhou Yi: "Don't think I'm alarmist. If you continue like this, she will marry Yuanye sooner or later."
Zhou Yi's words made Zhou Li silent for a long time.
Just when Zhou Yi thought he was going to explode in silence, Zhou Li suddenly said: "I will go to New York with you."
——
The flight to New York was at 9 a.m. on the 23rd, and Jiang Mingzhu did not go to work at the company on the 22nd.
She and Fu Xiaozhi walked around various districts in the city for a day and bought a lot of food for Sansan.
Fu Xiaozhi also stayed directly at the Xiangfu Villa in the evening, and Yuanye came to pick them up and take them to the airport early the next morning.
After a thirteen-hour international flight, it was also morning when we arrived at the New York Airport.
Jiang Mingzhu and Fu Xiaozhi didn't sleep well on the plane, and they kept yawning after landing.
The two of them picked up their luggage and came out, and immediately saw Zheng Linxu at the pick-up gate.
Although Zheng Linxu is an Oriental, his height is not inferior among a group of foreigners. He is wearing a dark gray long windbreaker today, and his temperament stands out among the crowd.
Jiang Mingzhu had not told Zheng Linxu that Fu Xiaozhi would come with her before, so when Zheng Linxu saw Fu Xiaozhi, there was a bit of surprise on her face.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Zhizhi doesn't worry, she came with me."
Fu Xiaozhi smiled generously at Zheng Linxu and joked: "You won't send me back, will you?"
Zheng Lin said: "How come? Welcome to New York."
In order to express his welcome to her, Zheng Linxu extended a hand, and Fu Xiaozhi smiled and went up to shake his hand.
"Hey, your hands are quite pretty!" Fu Xiaozhi's first time
Look carefully at Zheng Linxu's hands. The fingers are very long and the joints are well-defined. The blood vessels on the back of the hands make the palms look very strong.
Fu Xiaozhi squeezed Zheng Linxu's hand a few times and praised, "You can become a hand model now."
Zheng Lin said: "...get in the car first."
He calmly withdrew his hand from Fu Xiaozhi's hand, pushed the luggage trolley and headed for the elevator.
When getting on the bus back to the city, Zheng Linxu asked Fu Xiaozhi: "Are Miss Fu and Zhuzhu staying in an apartment or a hotel?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "Of course with Zhuzhu."
"Oh, don't keep talking about Miss Fu. I can be considered your junior. Just call me by my name." Fu Xiaozhi really couldn't bear this kind of polite address.
Zheng Lin said: "Okay, Zhizhi."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Is Sansan at school?"
Zheng Lin said: "No, her mother came and took her out to play."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Is she... feeling better?"
Zheng Lin said: "Well, he's almost recovered, and he should stay in New York from now on."
Jiang Mingzhu: "That would be great. Sansan can be with her mother every day."
When Fu Xiaozhi heard Jiang Mingzhu talking about Sansan's mother, she still couldn't change her initial brain circuit. Her first reaction was that Zheng Linxu's ex-wife was back.
After a while, she remembered that Jiang Mingzhu had told her before that Sansan was not Zheng Linxu's biological daughter, and Zheng Linxu had never been married.
Fu Xiaozhi became even more curious about Sansan's identity. She leaned over and whispered to Jiang Mingzhu, "Who is Sansan's mother?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "You'll know it when you see it."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Okay."
With this curiosity, Fu Xiaozhi is even more looking forward to meeting Sansan.
——
Zheng Linxu brought Jiang Mingzhu and Fu Xiaozhi back to the villa.
This is a very typical American-style villa, with a large lawn in the yard and a large swimming pool. The villa has three floors.
Zheng Linxu said to Jiang Mingzhu, "Your room has been tidied up. I'll ask Auntie to make a guest room for Zhizhi."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Okay."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Thank you!"
Zheng Linxu: "Then you guys rest first, I'll go back to the company to handle some work."
Jiang Mingzhu: "When will Sansan come back?"
Zheng Lin said: "Maybe it will be in the afternoon."
After Zheng Linxu left, Jiang Mingzhu and Fu Xiaozhi went upstairs, briefly packed their luggage, and took out the things they brought for Sansan.
The less Fu Xiaozhi saw San San, the more curious she became. She pestered Jiang Mingzhu and asked, "Who is San San's mother?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Guess."
Fu Xiaozhi was so angry that she pinched Jiang Mingzhu's ears: "Just show off!"
Jiang Mingzhu: "You are so concerned about Boss Zheng's affairs~"
Fu Xiaozhi: "Really? I'm just gossiping."
Jiang Mingzhu teased playfully: "I thought you were attracted to him, so I had to confirm whether he had an ex-wife."
Fu Xiaozhi: "What a joke."
"Although he is good-looking, I don't like old men." Fu Xiaozhi waved her hand to deny.
Jiang Mingzhu just made a joke casually and didn't take it seriously. After teasing, she revealed Sansan's identity to Fu Xiaozhi.
"...So, he is actually Sansan's uncle?" Fu Xiaozhi was dumbfounded: "Then who is Sansan's father? Did Sansan's mother divorce him?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I don't know who Sansan's father is, but Sansan's mother suddenly became pregnant."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Sounds like a scumbag, even if my father doesn't recognize him."
