Zhou Li felt that Zhou Yi was a little abnormal, and then he thought about it, maybe it was the unhappy past that he recalled after meeting Zheng Linxu.
Zhou Li didn't call him again and walked away from the second floor exit alone.
Zhou Yi added another glass of wine and glanced out the window. There was no sign of the group of people outside the restaurant.
——
Jiang Mingzhu hasn't had such a lively meal in a long time.
There were Sansan and Fu Xiaozhi at the table, and the atmosphere was very lively. The two of them sang and sang together in a lively manner.
Jiang Mingzhu looked a little jealous: "This may be the legendary meeting at a late date~"
Fu Xiaozhi: "Tsk, it's so sour."
Fu Xiaozhi immediately heard that Jiang Mingzhu was having trouble, and she patted Sansan on the shoulder: "Sansan, go and coax Zhuzhu quickly, or she will think you don't love her anymore."
Sansan: "How could it be! I like Zhuzhu the most!"
Jiang Mingzhu: "How much do you like it?"
Sansan: "I'll give you all my snacks."
Her serious look made the words sound even cuter.
Jiang Mingzhu couldn't help laughing and rubbed Sansan's little face: "Hey, you're very good. I'll take you to drink milk tea tomorrow~"
Sansan became energetic as soon as she heard the milk tea. After getting excited, she suddenly thought of something and turned her head to look at Zheng Linxu pitifully.
Zheng Lin said: "You can drink half a cup."
Sansan: "Yeah! I love daddy!"
After learning that she could drink milk tea, Sansan's pitiful expression disappeared instantly, and she smiled so hard that her eyes were bent.
Zheng Pianqing was also infected by her, laughed with her, and looked around relaxedly.
When her eyes glanced at a certain figure, Zheng Pianying suddenly froze, her smile disappeared instantly, and her face turned pale.
Jiang Mingzhu sat opposite Zheng Pianqing and saw her changes clearly.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Zheng Pianqing acted like she saw someone. Jiang Mingzhu turned around subconsciously, and then saw Zhou Yi walking to the table with a smile.
This time it was Jiang Mingzhu's turn to be surprised.
Fu Xiaozhi: "Second brother? Why are you here too?"
Zhou Yi: "Come to New York to hang out with friends."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Are you staying in this hotel?"
Zhou Yi: "Yeah."
Fu Xiaozhi: "That's such a coincidence."
Zhou Yi's eyes swept over the people on the table one by one, and finally stopped on San San's face.
This was the first time he saw her.
The five-year-old child is fair and well-raised. He is wearing a denim suspender skirt and a bow hairpin on his head.
Those eyes are like black grapes.
Zhou Yi: "Who is this child?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "It's my uncle's child."
After the introduction, Jiang Mingzhu turned back to Sansan and said, "Sansan, say hello to uncle."
Sansan: "Hello, uncle~ He's so handsome."
The child's voice was sweet and soft, and his words of praise were sweeter than candy.
Zhou Yi glanced at Zheng Pianqing opposite him out of the corner of his eye. It was hard to imagine that her dull temperament could give birth to such a lively and sweet-tongued daughter.
Zhou Yi gently touched Sansan's face. The child's skin was as tender as tofu.
"Sansan is also very cute."
Sansan: "Thank you, uncle~"
Jiang Mingzhu didn't expect Zhou Yi to be quite good at playing with children, which was a few steps ahead of Zhou Li.
Just as she was thinking this, Zheng Pianqing suddenly stood up and walked away.
Jiang Mingzhu: "What did my sister-in-law do?"
Zheng Lin said: "Bathroom."
Jiang Mingzhu looked in the direction of the bathroom, somewhat worried. She still hadn't figured out why Zheng Pianqing's face suddenly became so ugly just now.
While Jiang Mingzhu was watching, she suddenly heard Zhou Yi's smiling voice again: "Mr. Zheng, long time no see, why don't you come?"
Ill. "
Jiang Mingzhu turned around suddenly, looking surprised.
Before she could speak, Fu Xiaozhi had already asked for her: "Do you know each other?"
Jiang Mingzhu looked at Zheng Linxu curiously, waiting for his answer.
Before, she had no idea that Zheng Linxu had any contact with the Zhou family. From what Zhou Yi meant, it seemed like they had known each other for a long time.
Zheng Linxu glanced at Zhou Yi with cold eyes and said calmly: "Not familiar."
Zhou Yi: "Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng, forgets things a lot. We are really unfamiliar after not seeing each other for so many years."
No matter how she heard it, Jiang Mingzhu felt that Zhou Yi's words had a somewhat sinister meaning. Did he have any grudge against Zheng Linxu?
Zheng Linxu, who had never been against others, actually said to Zhou Yi, "It's time to leave after saying hello to our family dinner."
Not only was the eviction order issued directly, but there was not even a title.
Not to mention Fu Xiaozhi, even Jiang Mingzhu had never seen Zheng Linxu like this.
So both of them were quite surprised.
After Zhou Yi left, Jiang Mingzhu asked Zheng Linxu: "How did you and Zhou Yi know each other?"
Zheng Lin said: "I've met him several times before in friend group games."
Zheng Linxu spoke very calmly, and there was no clue in his expression, but Jiang Mingzhu was sure that he was lying right away.
If they only met a few times, how could they have such a bad attitude?
Jiang Mingzhu went to look at Fu Xiaozhi, and it could be seen from their eyes that Fu Xiaozhi didn't believe Zheng Linxu's words either.
When Zheng Linxu didn't want to talk, no one could pry his mouth open. Jiang Mingzhu didn't waste her words.
Not long after Zhou Yi left, Zheng Pianqing also came back.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
Zheng Pianqing: "It's okay, I suddenly had a stomachache just now."
——
Jiang Mingzhu kept thinking about Zheng Linxu and Zhou Yi.
But she knew too little about Zhou Yi, so she could only go to the guest room to ask Fu Xiaozhi before going to bed at night.
Fu Xiaozhi knew Zhou Yi better, but she couldn't figure out what kind of feud there could be between Zhou Yi and Zheng Linxu.
Fu Xiaozhi: "Second brother doesn't usually come out to do business. He travels around and picks up girls..."
She paused at this point, "It can't be because Zheng Linxu stole the woman from him."
Jiang Mingzhu: "...The age difference between the two of them is seven or eight, so it's unlikely."
Moreover, after so many years of contact with Zheng Linxu, she has never seen him interact with other women except those who are related by blood to the Zheng family.
Fu Xiaozhi: "Then I can't guess."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I always feel that this matter is not that simple."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Me too. Although they didn't quarrel, there was a feeling of deep hatred."
Jiang Mingzhu: "And he never mentioned to me that he knew anyone from the Zhou family."
This is even more suspicious.
Fu Xiaozhi immediately understood Jiang Mingzhu's logic: "Your brother's matter comes first, he should mention it to you no matter what."
Jiang Mingzhu and Fu Xiaozhi had a heated discussion and guessed various possibilities, but looking back, none of them were reliable.
The two of them chatted until about twelve o'clock in the morning. Jiang Mingzhu came out of the guest room until her eyelids trembled due to sleepiness.
As she dragged her body towards the room, she suddenly heard voices between the second and third floors.
The third floor is the territory of Zheng Linxu and Zheng Pianqing.
Are they still up so late?
Jiang Mingzhu yawned and walked a few steps towards the stairs. When she stopped, she saw Zheng Linxu chatting with Zheng Pianqing.
Zheng Linxu: "Your reaction today was a bit too big. What do you think he will think after seeing it?"
