There is no one in Royal Water Bay.
After Jiang Mingzhu walked in and discovered this, she felt a little more relaxed.
No one is the best. She can talk to Zhou Li directly and honestly without worrying about outside influence.
Zhou Li ignored Jiang Mingzhu after entering the door. Jiang Mingzhu was too lazy to find slippers and stood barefoot on the floor.
Zhou Li unbuttoned his suit and took it off, his eyes briefly scanning Jiang Mingzhu's body.
Then he walked to the sofa and sat down.
Jiang Mingzhu did not sit next to Zhou Li, but found a single sofa diagonally opposite him and sat down.
In this way, the two people are face to face, making communication easier.
Jiang Mingzhu lowered her head and found a few pieces of paper from the bag next to her, and handed them to Zhou Li.
Zhou Li lowered his eyes and glanced, but didn't take it.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Take a look first."
After she took the initiative to speak, Zhou Li reluctantly raised his hand to take the thing.
During this process, Jiang Mingzhu kept staring at him closely, not wanting to miss any of his subtle expressions.
Perhaps because she was too nervous, her hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and her palms were sweaty.
Zhou Li only looked at it for less than two minutes before he put down the papers in his hand.
When he looked over, there was no expression on his face and his voice was cold, "So."
Jiang Mingzhu always knew that Zhou Li was not a happy person.
She had previously imagined Zhou Li's reaction after seeing these medical certificates, and his emotions might not fluctuate much.
But she didn't expect it to be so cold.
So cold that she didn't know how to answer this question.
Jiang Mingzhu choked for a long time, then she pinched her palms and continued: "I went to Berlin for the surgery."
Zhou Li picked up the diagnostic sheets again and held them in his hands.
Jiang Mingzhu: "I have been vomiting blood since I returned to Beicheng from southern Yunnan, so I went to Linhai for a checkup without telling everyone."
"The doctor said it was stomach cancer. I didn't want to continue living at that time, and the chance of failure of the operation was not small. I didn't want the operation, and I didn't want anyone to know."
In the past two years or so, Jiang Mingzhu rarely recalled the events of that year, and this was the first time she expressed it in words without missing a word.
Not long ago, the initial struggle and pain are still vivid in my mind.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mingzhu's voice trembled unconsciously: "But then Xu Siyan discovered it... That's why I thought of casting him in a drama. I don't like him."
She stopped and looked into Zhou Li's cold eyes and repeated: "I don't like Xu Siyan, never have."
Zhou Li: "Oh."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I thought I could let you go by acting with him, but you never let go. Later, he got married again. I had no choice but to find Yuan Ye to act with me. He happened to know about my illness at that time. , I promised him the surgery, and he promised me a wedding."
"We didn't get the certificate, it was just a wedding. His parents have already made it clear, so you should know." Jiang Mingzhu felt relieved after finally explaining all these things clearly.
But Zhou Li's expression remained unchanged from before.
He didn't seem surprised at all when he heard these things, and he was even indifferent.
Jiang Mingzhu pursed her lips and waited quietly for him to speak.
Zhou Li crumpled the medical certificate in his hand into a ball and threw it into the wastebasket next to him.
Jiang Mingzhu's heart suffocated.
At this time, Zhou Li asked her coldly: "What is the purpose of telling me this?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "At that time, I thought about being with you."
"But I checked out and got sick before I thought about it carefully. I didn't want you to know about it, so I chose this method."
Zhou Li: "Oh, should I thank you?"
His attitude was cold from beginning to end. He was not surprised when he heard the news. After she explained, he was also uninterested.
There was even a fatal irony at this time.
Jiang Mingzhu was speechless and her eyes were so sore that she lowered her head and raised her hand to rub it casually.
I still didn't want to cry in front of him, it seemed like I was too worthless.
Zhou Li: "That's it, you can leave."
Jiang Mingzhu paused in rubbing her eyes. She subconsciously raised her head and looked at Zhou Li.
Their eyes met, and the calmness and indifference in his eyes made people's eyelids twitch.
Jiang Mingzhu: "You..."
Zhou Li: "Since you hid it, you should keep it secret for the rest of your life. I'm not interested in knowing your thoughts now."
Jiang Mingzhu: "At that time, I was just——"
"Just what? You don't want me to worry or you don't want me to be sad?" Zhou Li interrupted her and seemed to have guessed her next line: "You don't want me to be sad because of my illness, so I acted with Xu Siyan and married Yuanye. You think I can accept this kind of thing better, don’t you?”
Zhou Li was rarely so aggressive with his words.
His words were all precise, and Jiang Mingzhu, who was always eloquent and sharp-tongued, couldn't answer.
After these words, the air pressure in the huge living room dropped sharply, and silence spread endlessly.
Finally, Jiang Mingzhu took a deep breath and whispered three words: "I'm sorry."
Zhou Li: "No need."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I am too self-righteous and selfish."
Zhou Li: "Jiang Mingzhu, I've said it before, I don't have to do it with you."
"What is the purpose of saying these words to me today? You can't bear it now that I'm treating you like this? Do you think that if you hook your fingers, I will treat you like before?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I don't think so."
Zhou Li: "It's best."
He raised his hand and glanced at his watch, "That's it, you can go."
His rejection and indifference were written all over his face.
Jiang Mingzhu's heart ached with pain. She stood up slowly and asked without giving up, "Will you still be with me? I want to hear the truth."
Zhou Li: "I have a fiancée. Or are you addicted to snatching her?"
Jiang Mingzhu did not expose the scene between him and Xu Yingfei, but asked another way: "What if there is no her?"
Zhou Li: "No."
He answered decisively, "Jiang Mingzhu, the earth does not rotate with you."
Jiang Mingzhu's nails almost broke the palm of her hand, and she didn't know how much effort it took to squeeze out a smile.
"Okay, I know." She waved to him, "Goodbye, Zhou Li."
Jiang Mingzhu put on her shoes as quickly as possible, pursed her lips and walked out of Yushuiwan.
The temperature was already very low in the late autumn evening. As if God understood her mood, it started to rain.
Jiang Mingzhu walked out of the villa area in despair, the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
She was completely unaware of what Zhou Li had just said.
Won't be with her.
The earth doesn't revolve around her.
Everything he said was right. She had already thought of it when she made her choice.
should be accepted.
Why struggle to the death and bring humiliation to oneself?
The story between her and Zhou Li ended more than two years ago.
Jiang Mingzhu walked in a daze for a long time, and the rain soaked her whole body without even realizing it.
Until an off-road vehicle suddenly stopped in front of her.
