Even someone like He Chuyan, who had experienced strong winds and waves, was shocked by the name Jiang Mingzhu said.
Of course He Chuyan knew who Xu Siyan was, but how could Jiang Mingzhu like him.
But Jiang Mingzhu just admitted in person that her condition has not recovered——
After a moment of silence, He Chuyan said, "You told me before that you liked Zhou Li."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Well, I wasn't sure what I thought at that time."
"I just feel that he seems to be pretty good to me and helped me investigate the case. I feel like I want to repay him." Jiang Mingzhu did not deny what she said before, which made these words more credible now. It also increased accordingly.
Seeing He Chuyan's complicated expression, Jiang Mingzhu knew that her strategy was not wrong.
He Chuyan: "So you don't like Zhou Li?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Now I can say with certainty, yes, I don't like him."
He Chuyan: "Then Xu Siyan——"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I hated him at first, and he didn't like me either."
At this point, she smiled, and there seemed to be helplessness in her smile: "But liking someone just comes out of nowhere. When I was locked up in Yuanyin Manor by Zhou Li, Xu Siyan came to see me, and he was the first to find out. My illness is not cured."
He Chuyan: "How did he find out?"
He Chuyan's tone became more serious after asking about this matter. She had not paid much attention to Xu Siyan before.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Because he understands me."
"Later Zhou Li let me go because Xu Siyan told him about it." Jiang Mingzhu said, "But Xu Siyan had a very bad attitude towards me at the beginning and often ridiculed me, so I didn't want to admit that I fell in love with him."
He Chuyan stared into Jiang Mingzhu's eyes and didn't answer for a long time.
She has met countless people over the years, and many of them have nowhere to hide under her eyes, but she always feels powerless when facing Jiang Mingzhu.
Maybe it's because caring leads to chaos, or maybe it's because Jiang Mingzhu's acting skills are so good that even she can be confused.
When He Chuyan was silent, Jiang Mingzhu asked again: "Don't you believe me?"
He Chuyan: "No, mom is just surprised."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Yes, I was surprised when I found out. I couldn't accept it."
He Chuyan: "Then...have you told him?"
Jiang Mingzhu shook her head. She looked very confused: "He already knows, but he didn't say he wanted to be with me. I'm too embarrassed to ask him... just take it one step at a time."
He Chuyan: "You really don't like Zhou Li? He treats you very well."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I tried it, but I just don't like it...and in terms of badness, his attitude towards me before was much worse than Xu Siyan's."
Jiang Mingzhu answered so decisively that He Chuyan didn't know how to answer the question.
Then Jiang Mingzhu said: "For him, I want to try to survive."
——
After taking a shower, Jiang Mingzhu collapsed on the bed without drying her hair, like a lifeless corpse.
The lights above her head seemed to be extremely dazzling, making her eyelids sore and painful, and her vision became increasingly blurry.
Until the liquid flows down the corners of the eyes and into the ears.
Jiang Mingzhu grabbed the quilt and covered her head. Her shoulders were shaking slightly, and her lower lip was almost broken by her bite.
I had a night of bizarre dreams, and when I woke up, I didn't have the energy to wake up after a good night's sleep.
Today, Zheng Linxu and Zheng Pianqing were bringing Sansan over. Jiang Mingzhu asked for leave and went to pick them up with He Chuyan.
As soon as Jiang Mingzhu and He Chuyan arrived at the airport pick-up gate, they ran into an acquaintance.
Zhou Yi is also waiting here.
Zhou Yi didn't seem surprised when he saw Jiang Mingzhu and He Chuyan, and even came up to say hello.
Zhou Yi: "I'm here to pick up Pianqing and Sansan."
Jiang Mingzhu nodded on her face, but she was cursing in her heart. Zheng Pianqian had already reconciled with Zhou Yi. She shouldn't have.
Jiang Mingzhu didn't know what happened between them back then, but judging from Zheng Pianqing's attitude, she probably didn't intend to get involved with Zhou Yi.
But there were some things she wasn't meant to ask.
In less than ten minutes, Zheng Linxu and Zheng Pianqing came out with Sansan.
Jiang Mingzhu also met the legendary psychiatrist, a Chinese man about the same age as Zheng Linxu.
Zheng Linxu saw Zhou Yi as soon as he came out. He frowned, vaguely impatient.
Maybe it's because Sansan is still here and it's hard to show it too obviously.
Sansan was heartless and very happy. When she saw Jiang Mingzhu, she rushed up to hug her.
Jiang Mingzhu smelled the familiar fragrance of Sansan and knelt down to kiss her on the face.
"San San, long time no see. Have you missed me lately?" Zhou Yi also walked up.
Sansan's watery eyes flashed with surprise after seeing Zhou Yi, and then she went to hold his hand.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
When Jiang Mingzhu heard Sansan's surprise and excitement, she could tell that the child liked Zhou Yi very much.
After realizing this, Jiang Mingzhu turned back and glanced in Zheng Pianqing's direction.
Zheng Pianqian frowned slightly. Although her good cultivation kept her face from being too ugly, it could be seen from the details that she did not want Zhou Yi and Sansan to have too much contact.
As for Zheng Linxu, he probably had the same idea.
Zheng Linxu stepped forward and pulled Sansan to his side, looking at Zhou Yi: "No need to trouble you to entertain me."
Zhou Yi: "Mr. Zheng, you are so polite. We are all one family."
Zheng Linxu: "..."
Sansan: "Dad, I want to play with uncle, is that okay?"
Zheng Linxu: "You don't want to play with Zhuzhu anymore? Choose one yourself."
After saying that, he winked at Jiang Mingzhu.
Jiang Mingzhu understood immediately and cooperated immediately.
"I'm so sad. Sansan doesn't like me anymore. I want to play with others. I originally wanted to take you to drink milk tea and have snacks..."
Jiang Mingzhu hasn't finished her performance yet, but Sansan has already made her choice: "I want to play with Zhuzhu!"
Zhou Yi: "..."
The final result was that Sansan happily held Jiang Mingzhu's hand and left.
Zhou Yi could only watch them leave from behind.
After the people were gone, Zhou Yi went to the parking lot to drive.
As soon as he got in the car, Zhou Yi called Zhou Li. He was in a hurry this time and hadn't told him yet.
But no one answered Zhou Li's call.
Zhou Yi contacted Liang Cong.
Liang Cong answered the phone quickly, but his tone was very solemn: "Mr. Zhou had a small car accident yesterday and is now in the hospital."
Zhou Yi: "Why did you get into a car accident? Is it serious?"
Liang Cong: "No muscles or bones were injured. The trauma was a bit serious. I suspect there is a risk of concussion. The doctor recommended hospitalization for observation."
Zhou Yi and Liang Cong took the ward number and drove from the airport to the hospital.
——
As soon as Zhou Yi entered the ward, he felt the cold atmosphere inside.
Zhou Li's arm was injured and was wrapped with gauze. He stood in front of the window wearing a hospital gown, his whole body exuding cold air.
At first glance, he was in a bad mood.
There is only one person who can make Zhou Li enter this state.
Zhou Yi went up and patted Zhou Li on the shoulder: "Are you frustrated by Jiang Mingzhu again? Tell me."
Zhou Li kept his mouth tight and said nothing.
