After Zhou Li left, Jiang Mingzhu collapsed on the sofa and continued to lie down. She felt a little uncomfortable due to gastrointestinal stress after being highly stressed, and it took half an hour for her to recover.
Just at this time, Fu Xiaozhi sent a WeChat message.
Jiang Mingzhu then remembered that she hadn't had time to tell Fu Xiaozhi yet.
Jiang Mingzhu: [It’s settled. I’ll stay here tonight. Don’t run away if it’s too late. 】
Fu Xiaozhi: [How was the discussion? 】
Jiang Mingzhu: [It’s not going well. Let’s meet and chat tomorrow. 】
After chatting with Fu Xiaozhi, Jiang Mingzhu went to the bedroom upstairs, took a hot bath, wrapped herself in a quilt and fell asleep.
——
Fu Xiaozhi arrived at around ten o'clock the next morning. It was not convenient to take out food in the suburbs. Before she came, she bought breakfast for Jiang Mingzhu in the city and brought it over.
Jiang Mingzhu's vitality was severely weakened last night, but she woke up after not sleeping for long.
After she woke up, she had been thinking about the next arrangements, and finally decided to confess to Yuan Ye first, and then talk to Zheng Lin about cooperating with Zhou Li.
Otherwise, a shrewd person like Zhou Li would not be able to act.
Jiang Mingzhu was distracted all the time as she was thinking about these things in her mind. She didn't hear Fu Xiaozhi ask several questions.
"Hey!" Fu Xiaozhi put his hand in front of Jiang Mingzhu's eyes and waved it.
Only then did Jiang Mingzhu react: "Huh?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "What's wrong with you? You've been distracted since I walked in. Zhou Li doesn't agree to cooperate?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I didn't agree at first, but then I agreed."
Fu Xiaozhi has a very keen sense of smell: "What conditions did you agree to him?"
A person like Zhou Li who has a sharp mind will never be persuaded by words. He is interested in Jiang Mingzhu and cannot miss this opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Jiang Mingzhu: "...Just the ones you guessed."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Fuck, he's not done yet."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Also, you can't contact Yuanye in the future."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Is he sick? Just because Yuanye likes you? You actually agreed! This is a complete loss of power and humiliation to the country!"
Jiang Mingzhu didn't know that this was a loss of power and humiliation to the country: "There is no way, it is most convenient for him to investigate this matter."
Fu Xiaozhi: "...What about you? You also have to consider your own feelings!"
own feelings.
Jiang Mingzhu was stunned for a moment after hearing these words, and then twitched the corner of her mouth.
She drank a spoonful of eggnog and fell into deep thought. After a long time, she spoke: "When my brother left, I wanted to be with him."
"I've had him by my side since I was little. I made an appointment with him before I went to Columbia. When I find a job, I'll take him over with me." Her eyes were filled with sourness. "It's really hard to be alone there. Being lonely, my motivation is to study hard, graduate early, make money, and then take him over."
Jiang Mingzhu was sixteen years old when she was adopted. When He Chuyan and Jiang Guming wanted to take her away, the dean asked for her opinion, and her first reaction was to refuse.
Because she knew very well that they only wanted her, not Pei Yegu, and she didn't want to be separated from Pei Yegu.
The first meeting between Jiang Mingzhu, He Chuyan and Jiang Guming was not friendly. She was very repulsive, but they never gave up.
Later, it was Pei Ye's words that made Jiang Mingzhu change her mind.
He said: "We Zhuzhu study so well and are so outstanding. We will become big things in the future. Listen to my brother and follow them."
She hugged him without letting go, her lips pursed into a straight line, her expression was stubborn but she didn't say a word.
But Pei Yegu could always guess what she was thinking immediately.
He rubbed her hair and said softly: "Brother will not leave. He will always be with you. When you make money from work in the future, I will continue to take care of you, okay?"
Later, Jiang Mingzhu was taken back by He Chuyan and Jiang Guming. Although they also loved her very much, the person closest to her heart would always be Pei Yegu, who could not be shaken.
Jiang Mingzhu transferred from a public school to an international school, and her spoken English is the same as here.
I don’t know how many grades the students have fallen behind.
Later, she caught up with everyone without saying a word, and learned that when she was in the most pain, her motivation was also Pei Ye's words.
It has been many years since I had the courage to recall the past. After Jiang Mingzhu and Fu Xiaozhi said these things, their faces were filled with tears.
Fu Xiaozhi's eyes were also red, and she took out a tissue to wipe Jiang Mingzhu's tears.
"I can do that too. Now you still have Qinyang and me."
Jiang Mingzhu sniffed: "After he left, I felt that my life was meaningless."
If it weren't for He Chuyan, Jiang Guming and Zheng Linxu who pulled her back, she wouldn't be where she is today.
Later, her condition improved, and the only motivation for her survival was to settle matters with Zhan Yubai.
at all costs.
What does it mean to sleep with Zhou Li?
Fu Xiaozhi already understood what Jiang Mingzhu meant. Although she did not have the same experience, it did not prevent her from understanding Jiang Mingzhu's choice.
only……
"What should we do over there in the wilderness?"
If Jiang Mingzhu breaks up with Yuanye for no reason without giving an explanation, Yuanye will definitely not be able to accept it.
Jiang Mingzhu: "I plan to confess to him."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Well, this is best. If you tell him directly, he will definitely understand you."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Yeah."
Fu Xiaozhi: "When the matter is found out, the contract between you and Zhou Li will not count, right?"
Jiang Mingzhu immediately understood what Fu Xiaozhi meant. Fu Xiaozhi had always wanted her to talk to Yuanye.
Jiang Mingzhu had indeed considered it, but now that she and Zhou Li had such an unclear relationship, she had no right to ask Yuanye to waste his time on her.
Jiang Mingzhu: "I feel like a walking zombie like me is not worthy of him."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Don't worry about this for now, tell me do you like him?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "...Actually, I don't know either."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Then do you like Thursday?"
Jiang Mingzhu pursed her lips. For some reason, Zhou Li's disappointment last night suddenly flashed through her mind.
She felt some discomfort in her chest and raised her hand to rub it a few times.
Seeing Jiang Mingzhu not answering, Fu Xiaozhi thought for a moment: "Let me put it another way, if Zhan Yubai's fiancé was not Thursday, would you still do these things?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Yes."
She answered without hesitation.
Fu Xiaozhi: "Think again."
At the critical moment, Fu Xiaozhi's mind was particularly clear: "The reason why you answer so surely now is because you know in your heart that this person will only be Thursday."
Jiang Mingzhu was said to have fallen into deep thought by Fu Xiaozhi.
Indeed, she hadn't given it much thought because she rarely wasted time on things that didn't happen.
If it were someone else...
Jiang Mingzhu took stock of the things she had done to Zhou Li and tried to imagine changing her partner...it seemed difficult.
Does she also have some first time complex?
Jiang Mingzhu started to have a headache after thinking for a while. She rubbed her temples with her hands: "I can't think of it."
Fu Xiaozhi did not force Jiang Mingzhu to continue thinking, but changed the subject: "When are you going to talk to Yuanye?"
Jiang Mingzhu spent almost three minutes finishing her thinking and making the final decision: "Just today, I will go to the company to pick him up from get off work."
