Zhou Li didn't understand He Chuyan's mood, but he understood her starting point.
Because he was the person related to Pei Yegu's death, and because Pei Yegu's kidney was in Jin Rou's body, He Chuyan hoped that after the matter was resolved, he would not disturb Jiang Mingzhu's life again.
Oh, Jiang Mingzhu probably thinks so too.
Otherwise, there would be no original sentence.
Zhou Li: "Is this what she meant too?"
He Chuyan: "No, this is just my personal opinion. As for how Zhuzhu feels about you, you should know better than me."
Zhou Li said mockingly: "She doesn't like me."
He Chuyan did not answer this sentence.
There was silence at the table.
A few minutes later, Zhou Li suddenly asked her: "If she fell in love with me, would you still object?"
He Chuyan: "I have said before, Zhuzhu is a person with very good ideas, and no one can stop her."
He Chuyan's meaning was very clear. She would always respect Jiang Mingzhu's wishes and choices, but: "You and I both understand that objectively speaking, the probability of the situation you mentioned happening is close to zero."
Approaching nothing.
Zhou Li was struck and unable to refute.
He Chuyan didn't add any more fuel to the fire, she had already made it clear enough tonight.
He Chuyan called the waiter to pay the bill, "It's not convenient for me to stay out for too long, so I'll go back first."
"Wait a minute." Zhou Li called He Chuyan and asked with difficulty, "Can I go see her?"
He Chuyan knew that Zhou Li had not given up yet, and Jiang Mingzhu might need to personally cut off his thoughts.
He Chuyan: "Okay, if Zhuzhu is willing to see you, no one will object."
Zhou Li: "I really like her."
He Chuyan said nothing.
Zhou Li: "I don't want anything."
He Chuyan: "I was very touched when I heard you say these words. I'm sorry."
After He Chuyan politely responded to Zhou Li's words, she left the restaurant, leaving Zhou Li sitting alone at the table.
Zhou Li's mind was in chaos, with various voices intertwined and impacting his nerves.
Jiang Mingzhu's, Yuanye's, Xu Siyan's, and He Chuyan's just now...
There is only one central idea that everyone talks about.
Jiang Mingzhu will not love him.
Never.
——
When He Chuyan came back in the evening, Jiang Mingzhu had already had dinner.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Mom, have you had dinner? Aunt Gu left some food for you."
He Chuyan: "I've eaten outside."
She took off her coat, sat down next to Jiang Mingzhu, raised her arm and gently rubbed her hair.
Jiang Mingzhu brought the fruit plate over: "The strawberries Aunt Gu bought are very sweet."
He Chuyan picked up one and put it in her mouth.
After eating the strawberries, He Chuyan asked Jiang Mingzhu casually: "Have you contacted Zhou Li in the past few days?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "No."
He Chuyan: "How does he usually treat you?"
This is a question that Jiang Mingzhu has not thought about the answer in advance, so naturally she cannot answer it immediately.
Jiang Mingzhu fell into deep thought under He Chuyan's gaze. He Chuyan's eyes were fixed on her face, not missing any detail.
Jiang Mingzhu seemed to be thinking seriously. She didn't know what she thought of. She frowned and then relaxed.
This thought lasted two or three minutes.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Not bad, not bad. His temper is very strange."
He Chuyan: "Huh?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Always angry for no reason, very awkward and pretentious."
He Chuyan: "Have you ever considered being with him?"
"No." This time Jiang Mingzhu's answer was still unhesitating and decisive: "I won't like him."
He Chuyan looked into Jiang Mingzhu's eyes, her gaze was firm.
Before she could answer, Jiang Mingzhu added, "I don't hate them for being so generous...although I know they didn't do anything wrong."
Before meeting Jin Rou, Jiang Mingzhu also blamed and hated Jin Rou.
To her, Jin Rou was half the murderer of Pei Yegu.
But after coming into contact with Jin Rou, Jiang Mingzhu's thoughts gradually became less extreme.
All the faults were Zhan Yubai's fault. She should hate Zhan Yubai instead of the unknowing Jin Rou.
This was her last moment of tolerance in her extreme extreme.
The meaning expressed by Jiang Mingzhu was similar to what He Chuyan had analyzed.
No matter which dimension he thinks about, Zhou Li is not the person who can pull Jiang Mingzhu out of the swamp abyss.
The personality is inappropriate, and the identity is even more inappropriate.
——
The next morning, Fu Xiaozhi came to the Xiangfu Villa with large and small bags of things.
He Chuyan opened the door for Fu Xiaozhi, and Jiang Mingzhu happened to see it: "Zhizhi, why did you bring so many things here?"
Jiang Mingzhu and He Chuyan both went up to help, taking several bags of things and placing them on the floor.
Fu Xiaozhi said while changing her shoes: "Yuanye asked me to bring many of them here. He brought all the bird's nests that Aunt Ji often eats."
Mentioning the wilderness, Jiang Mingzhu pursed her lips unconsciously.
They have not contacted each other since that day, and she has been abiding by the terms of the agreement.
He Chuyan didn't know the existence of Yuanye: "Who is Yuanye?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "A friend."
He Chuyan turned back to look at Jiang Mingzhu, and after seeing her eyes that were about to say something, she already had a guess in her heart.
Jiang Mingzhu and Fu Xiaozhi sent the things to the restaurant together.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Is Yuanye okay?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "It's good. I only found out yesterday that the scar on Thursday's forehead was caused by the wilderness!"
Zhou Li had an inexplicable scar on his head. Fu Xiaozhi heard about this from his parents, and the news should have come from the Zhou family.
When Fu Xiaozhi went to find Zhou Li, she lifted his hair to verify it, and found that there was indeed a fresh scar.
Fu Xiaozhi asked curiously, and Zhou Li said he bumped into it accidentally.
It wasn't until she talked about this matter with Yuanye that Fu Xiaozhi knew that the injuries she saw on Zhou Li's face were caused by Yuanye.
"You know, Yuanye went to fight him because he plotted against you on Thursday." Fu Xiaozhi said.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Yeah, I know."
She didn't know it at first, but when she came to the door that day, Zhou Li had just cheated. Both Zhou Li and Xu Siyan thought she was going to vent their anger on Yuan Ye.
Fu Xiaozhi: "Did you see the scar on his head? It's quite deep."
Jiang Mingzhu rubbed her temples and said, "I didn't pay attention."
She only remembered that when she went to Yushui Bay to find Zhou Li, he had gauze wrapped around his forehead. The gauze seemed to disappear in the next few days.
Then she went to Yuanyin Manor and met Zhou Li less frequently.
Even if I saw him, I wouldn't care about whether there was a scar on his forehead.
Fu Xiaozhi: "Okay, who told him to plot against you?"
Jiang Mingzhu felt uncomfortable in her chest. She took several deep breaths but still felt stuffy.
Fu Xiaozhi was frightened by her behavior: "Zhuzhu? What's wrong with you?"
"I'm a little out of breath." Jiang Mingzhu looked at Fu Xiaozhi and said, "Tell Yuanye that you don't need to send anything in the future."
Fu Xiaozhi's eyelids jumped and her heart skipped a beat at Jiang Mingzhu's tone.
Her state...is very wrong.
