Xu Siyan started thinking about this issue on the way to the hotel, and every word he said was carefully considered.
"From his perspective, he didn't know that you were acting with me because you were sick, so you should tell him clearly."
Jiang Mingzhu still didn't speak.
Xu Siyan did not force her aggressively and gave her enough patience and time to think about it.
After almost five minutes, Jiang Mingzhu nodded under Xu Siyan's gaze, "I understand."
Xu Siyan: "He still likes you, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Xu Yingfei to act before you came back."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I can't imagine his reaction after hearing this."
Xu Siyan: "Rather than blaming you, he should care about your surgery and recovery."
In the past two years, Xu Siyan often had the urge to explain to Zhou Li what happened back then.
It started brewing after Jiang Mingzhu’s surgery was successful.
A few days after Jiang Mingzhu's surgery, Xu Siyan went to Berlin to visit her and specifically mentioned this matter.
At that time, Jiang Mingzhu was still very weak just after the operation, and her tone of voice was soft and weak.
Only when she mentioned this matter, she suddenly acted like a hedgehog and said to him sternly: "You dare to say try it."
Xu Siyan didn't dare to try.
At that time, Jiang Mingzhu was not only physically weak, but her mental and psychological state was also extremely unstable.
Everyone must carefully follow her wishes, for fear of irritating her if they do something inappropriate.
Fortunately, these efforts and compromises paid off.
After the operation, Jiang Mingzhu cooperated with psychological counseling, probably because the success of the operation gave her a lot of encouragement. After that, her condition was obviously better than before the operation.
Jiang Mingzhu's real improvement should come after the news of Zhan Yubai's sentencing came to China.
Almost three months after Jiang Mingzhu's surgery, the Beicheng Public Security Bureau formally filed a lawsuit against Zhan Yubai.
In the first trial, Zhan Yubai was sentenced to death for several crimes.
Zhan Yubai later appealed but was rejected by the authorities.
Jiang Mingzhu cried for a long time that day.
But everyone around her knew that her tears were no longer due to sadness, but more about saying goodbye to the past.
Only after letting go of the obsessions that I had always had can I start a new chapter.
This new chapter should of course be related to Zhou rites.
——
After Jiang Mingzhu and Xu Siyan finished talking this time, they were looking for the right opportunity to confess to Zhou Li.
Almost three days later, Jiang Mingzhu was going to the logistics warehouse for an on-site inspection.
The night before, Jiang Mingzhu got news from Liang Cong that Zhou Li would also go there.
The warehouse is located on the outskirts of Beicheng City, and it takes at least two hours to get there from the city center.
Mingchuan arranged a special car to pick up Jiang Mingzhu from the hotel.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Jiang Mingzhu came downstairs from the hotel restaurant and immediately saw the business car waiting at the door.
When the front window was lowered, Jiang Mingzhu realized that the driver was Liang Cong.
Before Jiang Mingzhu had time to look at the back row, Liang Cong had already spoken: "Ms. Jiang, I'm sorry, the driver who was originally arranged to come was temporarily busy, so I can only help you and Mr. Zhou go together."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Oh, it's okay."
Liang Cong: "Then you can sit in the back row, the seat is freed up."
As soon as he finished speaking, the automatic door in the back row opened.
Jiang Mingzhu turned around and saw Zhou Li sitting in the car with an expressionless face. When their eyes met, his eyes were also cold.
The seat next to the door happened to be empty, so Jiang Mingzhu got in the car and sat down.
The two seats in the back of the business car are independent, but the corridor between them is slightly narrow.
Even though there was a distance, Jiang Mingzhu could still feel the aura emanating from Zhou Li's body.
——
The car gradually drove out of the city.
The atmosphere in the carriage was so quiet that it was a bit eerie.
Neither Jiang Mingzhu nor Zhou Li took the initiative to speak, and Liang Cong saw the situation and found it difficult to participate casually.
The two-hour journey gradually passed in silence.
At around eleven o'clock, the commercial vehicle parked at the entrance of the logistics warehouse, and the leaders at the warehouse were already waiting to receive it.
Jiang Mingzhu got into work mode as soon as she got off the car.
She went to say hello to the staff at the warehouse, introduced herself, and started recording the situation with her cell phone.
Zhou Li's gaze swept over her from time to time, his eyes dark.
When Jiang Mingzhu works, she is decisive and dedicated. She is very efficient and her brain works very quickly.
Liang Cong was dumbfounded as he watched, and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect Miss Jiang to be so powerful."
Liang Cong was talking to himself, but Zhou Li happened to hear him as he was passing by.
Zhou Li gave him a cold look, "Then go and ask her to pay you."
Liang Cong: "..."
Without giving him a chance to explain, Zhou Li left these words and left.
Liang Cong looked at his back and shook his head.
He really couldn't understand what Zhou Li was thinking now. He had clearly promoted the cooperation, but now he was acting like nothing in front of Jiang Mingzhu.
Maybe he really has to wait until Jiang Mingzhu is with someone else before he becomes anxious.
——
Lunch is a packed lunch in the warehouse cafeteria.
After a short break, Jiang Mingzhu returned to her afternoon work.
The inspection ended at around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Jiang Mingzhu took advantage of Zhou Li's absence and casually asked Liang Cong: "Liang Zhu, do you have any plans next?"
Liang Cong: "Mr. Zhou has no other schedule today."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Thank you."
Liang Cong said very politely: "Miss Jiang, do you want to have dinner with Mr. Zhou? Do you need me to arrange a restaurant?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "No, I will do it myself."
Jiang Mingzhu just saw Zhou Li going to the warehouse office, so she simply went to the door and waited.
After waiting for less than ten minutes, Zhou Li came out.
Throughout the whole day, neither of them exchanged a few words.
And Zhou Li always looked at her with a cold and unfamiliar look.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Are you free tonight?"
Zhou Li didn't respond, but his eyes seemed to ask her: What's the matter?
Jiang Mingzhu: "I have something to tell you. Should you go to the hotel or should I go back to Yushui Bay with you?"
Zhou Li: "I'm not free."
His refusal was decisive and cold.
Although Jiang Mingzhu was prepared, she still felt uncomfortable when she heard him say that.
She tried to adjust her mood: "Liang Zhu said you had no plans for the evening."
Zhou Li: "Oh, so."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I really have something to tell you, something very important."
Because she was anxious, her head felt hot and she stretched out her hand to hold his wrist. This was an action she would do when she was acting coquettishly.
Zhou Li looked down at her hands, and there was something in his eyes.
Jiang Mingzhu: "I won't take you too long, okay."
Zhou Li took out his hand, turned around and left her, leaving only one sentence: "Whatever you want."
A few minutes later, the two people got into the car one after another.
Liang Cong: "Ms. Jiang, do you want to go back to the hotel?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "If you don't come back, just send him and me together."
Liang Cong glanced at Zhou Li from the rearview mirror: "Mr. Zhou, are you going back to Yushui Bay?"
——
At half past five, the commercial vehicle parked at the entrance of Yushui Bay.
Zhou Li walked towards the door without looking back.
Jiang Mingzhu, carrying her bag, followed step by step.
