Fu Xiaozhi almost never spoke for Zhou Li in front of Jiang Mingzhu.
She had scolded Zhou Li before when he went too far.
But Jiang Mingzhu's recent behavior has made Fu Xiaozhi feel a little sympathetic to Zhou Li: "If I hadn't seen what he did for you with my own eyes, and you beat me to death, I wouldn't believe that he would still be so humble and pursue people."
Jiang Mingzhu pinched her palms. Even the pain that penetrated her flesh could not make her say a word calmly and indifferently.
Fu Xiaozhi: "Although I have never been in love, I think your previous attitude was that you liked Thursday. Why did you suddenly..."
"Because that's the kind of person I am." Jiang Mingzhu interrupted Fu Xiaozhi, "Zhizhi, I am a selfish person who doesn't care whether others live or die. Have you forgotten that I became friends with you just to take advantage of you? of."
Fu Xiaozhi: "..."
"So you don't have to have high expectations for me, I'm just that bad." Jiang Mingzhu laughed self-deprecatingly.
Fu Xiaozhi: "I don't mean to accuse you, don't-"
"I know." Jiang Mingzhu covered her eyes, "I'm sorry, I spoke too hastily."
What happened to Xu Siyan was really unexpected and disrupted all her plans.
Fu Xiaozhi: "Have you and Xu Siyan discussed what to do?"
"Why don't you go back with him to meet his parents? After confessing your affairs, maybe you can change the current situation." After all, Fu Xiaozhi still couldn't bear Jiang Mingzhu's discomfort and racked his brains to give her some advice.
Jiang Mingzhu shook her head, pursed her lips, and remained silent.
Zhou Li had already set up a situation, and he must have already anticipated this possibility.
Even if she really went back and made her relationship with Xu Siyan public, the Xu family would not agree to their affairs.
Besides, Jiang Mingzhu didn't really intend to have anything to do with Xu Siyan. They were just acting.
——
The news of the marriage between the Xu family and the Ruan family was announced to the public that afternoon.
It was posted by Xu Moyan himself.
Not only did they announce the news of the marriage, they also directly announced the time of the wedding, which is scheduled for next week.
Xu Moyan's external explanation was that Xu Siyan had been dating Ruan Yi for some time in private, and the two parties had originally planned to get engaged.
But since I was photographed at this time, I skipped the engagement process and got married directly.
As soon as the news came out, the local media in Beicheng exploded.
There is still wilderness.
Yuanye saw the news in the morning. He couldn't contact Xu Siyan all morning. Who knew that even more explosive news would come in the afternoon.
Unable to find Xu Siyan, Yuanye had no choice but to look for Jiang Mingzhu first.
Jiang Mingzhu's mental state is already unstable. Wouldn't she collapse if something like this happens?
Yuanye first sent Jiang Mingzhu a WeChat message: [Zhuzhu, where are you? 】
Jiang Mingzhu posted a location sharing.
Yuan Ye took a look and saw that it was a dessert shop they had visited before.
Jiang Mingzhu likes to eat desserts when she is in a bad mood.
Yuanye: [I’ll be there right away. 】
——
At five o'clock, Yuanye stepped into the dessert shop and found Jiang Mingzhu by the window.
Yuanye walked up and sat across from her, staring at Jiang Mingzhu's red and swollen eyes for a long time.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Are you here to comfort me?"
Yuan Ye: "...Are you okay?"
Judging from her tone, it was clear that she must have seen the news about the marriage.
Jiang Mingzhu: "It's okay."
Yuan Ye: "Have you contacted Xu Siyan? How did he explain it to you?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "It's not his fault."
Without giving Yuanye a chance to refute, Jiang Mingzhu told him first: "It was Zhou Li who gave him medicine, arranged for Ruan Yi to have a relationship with him, and also found the media to take photos and expose it. Xu Siyan was set up by him."
Yuanye: "..."
He had never calculated in such a way
.
The main reason is that Zhou Li has never used such despicable methods before.
When Yuanye saw the news, he thought it was Mr. Ruan's handiwork. The Ruan family was short of money recently, so marrying the Xu family was equivalent to finding a backer and a long-term meal ticket.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Zhou Li wouldn't be like this before, right?"
Yuan Ye: "He may have been stimulated by what happened between you and Xu Siyan, so he took such an extreme approach."
This sounded like he was trying to defend Zhou Li, but Yuanye didn't mean that.
Because Zhou Li has never done anything so crazy.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Yes, I deserve it. This is my retribution."
Yuan Ye wanted to comfort Jiang Mingzhu with a few words, but the words reached his lips and he couldn't say them out.
Nothing she could say at this time seemed feeble, unless she really didn't like Xu Siyan——
However, Yuanye still hasn't completely accepted the fact that Jiang Mingzhu likes Xu Siyan.
While Yuan Ye was thinking, Jiang Mingzhu's cell phone rang. It was He Chuyan calling to urge her to go home.
He Chuyan's tone was very serious, and she must have seen the relevant news.
After answering the phone, Jiang Mingzhu took a deep breath and asked Yuanye: "Can you take me back?"
Yuan Ye: "Of course, let's go."
Even if Jiang Mingzhu didn't mention it, he would definitely have to send her home safely tonight to feel at ease.
——
After Jiang Mingzhu returned to the Prime Minister's Villa, He Chuyan pulled her to sit on the sofa.
He Chuyan didn't blame her, she just put her arm around her shoulders and said, "Mom, let's take you back to Hong Kong City first."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Mom, have you seen the news about the marriage?"
He Chuyan: "..."
She wanted to persuade Jiang Mingzhu not to waste time on Xu Siyan, but she couldn't say such cruel words when facing Jiang Mingzhu.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Can you give me some time to think about it?"
She asked in a very soft voice, sounding cautious, as if she had said the words after struggling for a long time.
He Chuyan: "Okay, but mom hopes you won't be confused."
Xu Siyan got married so soon. If she kept clean, she would be regarded as a third party by others.
Jiang Mingzhu: "I understand, then I'll go upstairs first."
He Chuyan: "Okay, if you can't figure it out, remember to find me."
Jiang Mingzhu said "Yeah" and then went upstairs under He Chuyan's worried eyes.
After returning to the bedroom and closing the door, Jiang Mingzhu fell weakly on the bed.
Jiang Mingzhu's mind has been confused since she saw the news in the morning, but she knows very well that she can't continue to be confused now.
She had to get it all sorted as soon as possible.
She had not been able to get Zhou Li to let go of her previous relationship with Xu Siyan. Maybe she could only make him give up by actually finding someone to marry.
But who should she go to at this juncture?
Drag another innocent person into the water? She may not be able to do it.
Because of her selfishness, she has sacrificed too many people.
This approach won't work.
Another way is to directly confess to Zhou Li about her illness——
This idea was rejected by Jiang Mingzhu as soon as it came out of her head.
This is even more impossible.
——
Zhou Li didn't get off work for a long time in the evening.
When the cleaning staff came to clean, he was still standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office in a daze.
When the cleaning lady came out, she looked at Zhou Li's back and asked, "Mr. Zhou, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Zhou Li turned around: "Huh?"
Cleaning lady: "When I was cleaning just now, I saw blood behind the toilet."
