Before Fu Xiaozhi had time to scold, Zhou Li had already spoken: "She won't leave with you."
Fu Xiaozhi: "She won't leave with me, so she stays here and is imprisoned by you? Zhou Li, don't forget what my family does. I'll send you in in a minute."
Zhou Li did not reply to Fu Xiaozhi's words this time, but looked at Jiang Mingzhu: "Go and drink the bird's nest."
Jiang Mingzhu lowered her eyes and looked at the floor. After a few minutes of hesitation, she took her hand out of Fu Xiaozhi's.
Fu Xiaozhi, who was confronting Zhou Li, immediately went to see Jiang Mingzhu: "Zhuzhu, you——"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Zhizhi, please help me and Qinyang to be safe, so that she doesn't have to worry about me."
Although she didn't explicitly say she wanted to stay here, that was what she meant.
After saying this, Jiang Mingzhu went back and picked up the bowl of bird's nest and took a few sips.
Fu Xiaozhi saw Jiang Mingzhu's compromising look, but couldn't bear to blame her and glared at Zhou Li fiercely.
Zhou Li looked at Jiang Mingzhu intently.
Jiang Mingzhu quickly finished the small bowl of bird's nest: "Are you satisfied?"
——
Fu Xiaozhi dragged Zhou Li downstairs, threw him away when he came to the living room, and asked angrily: "What do you want? Is it fun to make people spin around?"
Fu Xiaozhi's fierce tone did not shock Zhou Li: "When did she tell you?"
Fu Xiaozhi questioning him like this meant that she already knew everything, but in fact the two of them had not known each other for a long time.
Jiang Mingzhu can be so trusting with Xiaozhi, but not with him.
Fu Xiaozhi: "Why do you ask this?"
Zhou Li: "When you blackmail Zhan Yu and use your cell phone."
His brain works very fast and he can always achieve something in the shortest time.
Fu Xiaozhi: "I didn't know that at that time, it was after you kicked her out."
Although I don't know the meaning of Zhou Li's question, now that everyone has shown their cards, there is no need to hide anything: "She said it when she told me about your relationship."
There was a hint of mockery in Zhou Li's eyes.
Just as he thought, Jiang Mingzhu was straightforward and frank with Xiaozhi, but she could only be conceited and lie to him.
Fu Xiaozhi looked slightly displeased when she saw Zhou Li like this: "What's that expression on your face? Are you blaming Zhuzhu for not confessing his identity to you earlier?"
Zhou Li was noncommittal.
Fu Xiaozhi: "Please, where is your brain?"
"You two didn't know each other before, and Zhan Yubai is your fiancée, and is regarded as a benefactor by Aunt Jin. Suppose Zhuzhu told you when she first met you that Aunt Jin's kidney was not Zhan Yubai's at all. It belongs to her brother, would you believe it?"
Fu Xiaozhi's question is very sharp, and the answer is obvious.
If Jiang Mingzhu came up and said this, not only would he not believe it, but he would also think that Jiang Mingzhu was talking nonsense.
Zhou Li's eyes were complicated and his face was tense.
Fu Xiaozhi: "You have nothing to say, right? If you believe this, why would she have to sacrifice so much?"
Zhou Li said "ha", "Sacrifice."
In Jiang Mingzhu's eyes, finding him was a sacrifice in itself.
Zhou Li smiled strangely, and Fu Xiaozhi looked at him with confusion, not knowing what he was thinking.
Then he suddenly said: "I like her."
Fu Xiaozhi: "..."
She had no objection to Zhou Li's words. It was the first time in more than 20 years that she had known him to express his thoughts so directly, and she was shocked.
Fu Xiaozhi then stared at Zhou Li and observed him for a long time. His expression was serious and serious, not like he was lying.
Fu Xiaozhi: "You like her, why do you hide behind her back? If you had known about this earlier, you should have——"
Zhou Li: "Should I enjoy being used by her?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "..."
She is not an unreasonable person. If you think about it from Zhou Li's perspective, it is really uncomfortable to be taken advantage of: "But she has no choice but to do this.
It was Zhan Yubai who killed Pei Yegu first, and she was the biggest victim. "
Zhou Li fell silent again.
Fu Xiaozhi returned to the topic: "What do you want to do by locking her here? Are you afraid that she will meet Yuanye?"
Zhou Li: "Does she like the wilderness?"
Jiang Mingzhu trusts Fu Xiaozhi so much that he should also discuss this kind of issue with her.
Fu Xiaozhi: "She will not consider this matter until her brother's matter is resolved."
"But if you keep locking her up like this and forcing her to do things she doesn't want to do every day, I'm sure she won't like you." Having said all that, Fu Xiaozhi still wants Zhou Li to let Jiang Mingzhu go. .
Zhou Li: "I didn't force her."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Isn't this considered cool?"
Zhou Li: "You just heard that she chose it herself."
Fu Xiaozhi felt that she was about to be pissed off by Zhou Li and could not communicate with him. It was strange that he could catch up with someone with his style!
"How long do you think you can threaten her? When the truth comes out, do you still have the capital to let her stay with you?" Fu Xiaozhi stabbed him mercilessly: "When the time comes, she will still look for Yuan Ye."
——
Jiang Mingzhu chose to stay, but Fu Xiaozhi couldn't persuade her, so she had no choice but to leave.
After seeing off Fu Xiaozhi, Zhou Li went to the upstairs bedroom to find Jiang Mingzhu.
After opening the door, I found that she was curled up on the sofa and asleep.
Zhou Li unconsciously slowed down his steps, walked slowly to the sofa, bent down, and tiptoed, picked her up and walked to the bed.
As soon as he took a step, the person in his arms opened his eyes.
Jiang Mingzhu just squinted and fell asleep unsteadily. She woke up when she felt her body rising into the air.
Then he found himself being held in Zhou Li's arms.
Jiang Mingzhu immediately remembered her previous displeasure, her body stiffened for a second and she wanted to struggle, then his threat flashed in her ears, and she suddenly stopped.
All her tangled movements fell into Zhou Li's eyes. In an instant, his eyes became more complicated, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a pair of invisible hands.
Zhou Li carried Jiang Mingzhu back to the bed and covered her with a quilt, "Go to sleep."
Jiang Mingzhu didn't answer him, but got under the quilt, her refusal to communicate was obvious.
Zhou Li stood by the bed and stared at the bulging quilt for a long time, then finally turned and left.
——
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Li pushed the shopping cart out of the supermarket and moved the purchased items to the car.
On the way back, Zhou Li received a call from Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi: "You locked up Jiang Mingzhu? Why did you die?"
Zhou Li: "Zheng Linxu is looking for you?"
Zhou Yi: "It's two or two."
"Jiang Mingzhu won't let her talk to Zheng Lin about this matter, otherwise Zheng Linxu will have to settle the score with me now." After explaining the situation to Zhou Li, Zhou Yi asked him: "What are you thinking about?"
Zhou Li: "...I want her to like me."
Zhou Yi: "Then you imprisoned people? It's really yours."
Zhou Li: "Zhan Yubai still wants to kill her. She is safest with me."
Zhou Yi did not deny this truth, but said, "Then did you tell her?"
Zhou Li: "There's nothing to say."
Zhou Yi: "...will you chase women?"
Zhou Li: "No."
At four o'clock in the morning in New York, Zhou Yi was almost angry to death from his unsatisfactory younger brother.
