Jiang Mingzhu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for almost half an hour. She raised her hand and wiped it hard on her face, then turned and went upstairs.
At half past four, Jiang Mingzhu stopped at a shopping mall about three kilometers away from Wanhua.
She took out her phone, opened her address book, found Liang Cong's number and dialed it.
After a long beep, the call was answered. Liang Cong on the other end lowered his voice and said, "Ms. Jiang, you're looking for me."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Where will Zhou Li go after get off work today?"
Jiang Mingzhu's question was immediately ignored by Liang Cong. He paused for a few seconds and his CPU was running rapidly.
Liang Cong: "Mr. Zhou didn't come to the company today."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Where is he?"
Liang Cong: "Mr. Zhou seems to be feeling unwell. Maybe he was tired some time ago and is resting at home these days."
After a pause, Liang Cong added: "Yu Shuiwan."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Thank you Liang Zhu, you are busy."
Liang Cong looked at the call record on the screen and thought about it before calling Zhou Li.
But no one answered.
Liang Cong called him three times but got the same result. In the end, he could only send him a WeChat message.
[Mr. Zhou, Miss Jiang just called you to ask, and I told you the truth. 】
Zhou Li probably wasn't looking at his phone, but Liang Cong did his job well.
After putting down the phone, Liang Cong was still thinking about what Jiang Mingzhu had just said.
Jiang Mingzhu called Zhou Li by his first name, which sounded like the two of them were not divorced. Was Zhou Li afraid that Jiang Mingzhu would be targeted by the Zhou family while staying in Wanhua, so he took her away?
Liang Cong suddenly remembered the shopping receipt he found in Zhou Li's suit pocket - wasn't the cake bought for Jiang Mingzhu?
——
It was the first time that Zhou Li suffered such a serious skin injury, and the injury was serious. It was also due to a fight with Yuanye, and it would make people laugh if he told it.
Xu Siyan silenced everyone at the hospital last night.
After finishing his work, Xu Siyan came to Yushui Bay to visit Zhou Li with his external medicine.
Zhou Li was wearing a black sweatshirt and a pair of gray sweatpants. The bruises on his face were worse than yesterday.
Xu Siyan handed the medicine to Zhou Li: "Anti-inflammatory medicine for external use to prevent wound infection."
Zhou Li: "Oh."
His voice sounded listless and his eyes were empty. Xu Siyan asked worriedly: "Do you have a headache? How about I take you for a concussion check-up."
Zhou Li: "It's okay."
Xu Siyan: "..."
Zhou Li: "Do you have anything else? Just leave if you don't."
Xu Siyan stopped in front of Zhou Li, stared at him for a long time, and then asked: "Fourth brother, why did you and Yuanye do it?"
As soon as Xu Siyan finished speaking, the doorbell rang.
He heard the sound and looked over, "I'll go."
It's not appropriate for Zhou Li to open the door like this and be seen.
Xu Siyan stepped forward and opened the door. When he saw Jiang Mingzhu standing at the door, he suddenly froze and his eyes froze.
Jiang Mingzhu pushed Xu Siyan away and strode in. Xu Siyan closed the door and watched her walk to Zhou Li.
Jiang Mingzhu saw the gauze on Zhou Li's forehead and the injuries on his face at a glance. The corners of his mouth were severely disfigured, and the corners of his eyes were also a little blue.
Looks very embarrassed.
Zhou Li's eyes were so gloomy that he looked at Jiang Mingzhu and asked coldly: "Who asked you to come?"
Jiang Mingzhu let out a sarcastic laugh.
The atmosphere was tense, as if the two people looked at each other, there were firelights and smoke rising everywhere.
Xu Siyan was confused.
Jiang Mingzhu came to Zhou Li angrily because she knew about his fight with Yuanye and came to stand up for Yuanye?
Just as he was thinking this, Xu Siyan heard a crisp slap in the face.
He looked closely and saw that it was Jiang Mingzhu who slapped Zhou Li on the face.
There was another fingerprint on Zhou Li's already colorful face, and his expression was even gloomier than before.
.
Zhou Li glanced at Jiang Mingzhu's hand, "Are you here to vent your anger on Yuanye?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Isn't it fun to play with me?"
The two people were completely asking different questions, and their thinking was not at the same level. Xu Siyan could tell that they were talking about different things.
Obviously Zhou Li also believed that Jiang Mingzhu came here to stand up for Yuanye.
But no.
Zhou Li lowered his eyelashes and looked at her red palms: "Speak clearly."
Jiang Mingzhu: "You are such a smart person, how can you still not understand what I mean, Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Li's eyebrows skipped a beat: "Don't be so weird."
Jiang Mingzhu: "You already know why I approached you."
Zhou Li's lips pursed into a line.
Xu Siyan's heartbeat soared as he listened, and his eyes were filled with waves.
Jiang Mingzhu: "You know my identity, you know that my brother was killed by Zhan Yubai, and you also know that Mrs. Zhou used my brother's kidney."
Zhou Li remained silent.
Jiang Mingzhu: "You had already cooperated with Zheng Linxu before I came to you."
Zhou Li was not surprised that Jiang Mingzhu knew about this.
After she got the cooperation agreement from him, she would definitely talk to Zheng Lin. According to her temperament, she would never talk to Zheng Lin about the compromises she had made.
Under Jiang Mingzhu's aggressive gaze, Zhou Li said calmly: "Yes."
The calmer he acted, the more Jiang Mingzhu collapsed. She raised her arms again to hit him. This time Zhou Li directly grabbed her wrists and locked her tightly in his arms.
Jiang Mingzhu struggled desperately: "Let me go, you are so disgusting and despicable!"
This time she acted even more aggressively than before, and tears fell when she scolded her, as if she had been greatly humiliated.
Zhou Li: "Calm down."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Seeing me being so self-righteous but being played around by you, don't you feel a sense of accomplishment?"
Zhou Li: "You came to me first."
Jiang Mingzhu: "You're right, I deserve it. Who told me to have evil intentions and want to take advantage of you? I deserve to be fooled for being a bitch. Who are you, Zhou Li, how could you be plotted by me?"
Zhou Li felt that her body was shaking and had a tendency to be uncontrollable.
He tightened his arms a little more and reminded her in a calm voice: "Jiang Mingzhu, you need to calm down."
"Do you think I want to find you?" Jiang Mingzhu couldn't hear anything. Her tears kept flowing down and her head gradually dropped.
Xu Siyan stood behind Jiang Mingzhu and clearly saw her shoulders trembling more and more.
The living room was completely silent, except for her suppressed sobs, as if she was about to lose her breath.
Zhou Li moved to wipe Jiang Mingzhu's tears.
"I hate you." Her sudden words made Zhou Li's hands freeze in place.
"Yes, I shouldn't think about plotting against you, but why would Zhan Yubai plot against my brother? Because he is powerless and kind, should he have a kidney removed and then abandoned?"
"All of you are living happily, but what about him?" Jiang Mingzhu was almost out of breath, her voice was hoarse and distorted, "He will never come back to accompany me, I don't have a brother...why should I Can’t you take revenge?”
Zhou Li looked at her with complicated eyes, and the blood vessels on his forehead bulged.
He moved his lips, but before he could say anything, Jiang Mingzhu's body softened and she fell into his arms.
Xu Siyan, who was not far away, saw this scene and ran over immediately: "I'll take her to the hospital."
