Fu Xiaozhi was about to pick up the water cup and drink water, but stopped after hearing Jiang Mingzhu's words.
Fu Xiaozhi: "Who started the discord? I have nothing to do with you and Zhou Li -"
"It's not about me and Zhou Li." Jiang Mingzhu corrected her, "I'm talking about your emotional affairs."
Fu Xiaozhi moved her lips but stopped talking.
Jiang Mingzhu did not miss any small details, and carefully observed her expression with a pair of eyes, "You and Boss Zheng."
Fu Xiaozhi: "..."
After hearing Zheng Linxu's name, Fu Xiaozhi's expression was obviously stiffer than before.
Fu Xiaozhi usually wouldn't show his emotions so easily when outside, but the person sitting opposite him was Jiang Mingzhu.
Ever since they met, Fu Xiaozhi had hidden nothing from her.
This is the only time.
Fu Xiaozhi didn't deliberately want to hide it from Jiang Mingzhu, but he just didn't know how to tell her.
Seeing Fu Xiaozhi's state and expression, Jiang Mingzhu already made a judgment in her heart: "Do you like him?"
Fu Xiaozhi was silent for almost half a minute after hearing this question.
Finally, she forced out a smile and said, "We are so different, it's impossible."
Jiang Mingzhu: "He rejected you for this reason?"
According to her understanding of Xiaozhi, she was never one to be put off by issues like the age gap.
However, Zheng Linxu always likes to talk about age.
Fu Xiaozhi nodded under Jiang Mingzhu's gaze.
Jiang Mingzhu: "It's only ten years old. A difference of ten years is nothing these days."
Fu Xiaozhi still didn't speak.
She was rarely so silent.
Jiang Mingzhu could see that this incident had a great impact on her: "When did you tell him?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "On your birthday."
Jiang Mingzhu: "...in Berlin?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "Yeah."
She and Zheng Linxu haven't seen each other since that time.
After Jiang Mingzhu heard Fu Xiaozhi's answer, her brain raced rapidly, and she always felt that something was not right.
If he was rejected simply for expressing his feelings, Fu Xiaozhi would not be as resistant to meeting Zheng Linxu as he is now.
The only possibility is that Zheng Linxu did everything right at that time.
While Jiang Mingzhu was thinking this way, Fu Xiaozhi said, "Okay, okay, don't worry about my affairs. What matters between you and Thursday is the key now."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Do you need my help?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "Don't, don't, don't, he's just a man. Without him, I can still find someone else."
As if Jiang Mingzhu was worried, she followed, "When I went home that day, my parents said they wanted to introduce me to a partner. Brother Bing, hey hey, this is no better than an old man."
Jiang Mingzhu touched her chin: "What if the old man likes you?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "Impossible."
She answered so firmly that she didn't even have time to hesitate.
Jiang Mingzhu became more and more curious about what Zheng Linxu said when she rejected Fu Xiaozhi.
She vaguely remembered that after her birthday that day, Fu Xiaozhi got drunk and it was Zheng Linxu who took her back to the hotel.
It was probably at that time that Fu Xiaozhi confided in Zheng Linxu.
——
After lunch, Jiang Mingzhu and Fu Xiaozhi returned to the Sesame Foundation together.
She didn't have any work plans in the afternoon, so she stayed here to help Fu Xiaozhi.
At around four o'clock, Jiang Mingzhu received a call from Sansan.
Sansan: "Zhuzhu, are you busy?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "No, what's wrong?"
San San: "Then can you come and play with me and Xiao Zuo Xiao You? We are going to have barbecue tonight~"
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
Sansan was brought back to Zhou's house by Zhou Yi yesterday. From the tone of her voice, she must have had a lot of fun. She is similar in age to Xiao Zuo and Xiaoyou.
Xiao Zuo Xiaoyou is very excited every time he sees her.
Sansan didn't go back to Zhou's house many times, and everyone in the Zhou family was very kind to her. She was very happy every time.
But Jiang Mingzhu hasn't been to Zhou's house yet.
Coupled with the previous entanglements between her and Zhou Li, she didn't know how to face the Zhou family.
During Jiang Mingzhu's silence, Sansan continued: "Zhuzhu, come on, I've already bragged to Xiao Zuo and Xiao You, saying you would definitely come."
"Yes, yes, can you bring Zhizhi with you? I miss her too!"
Unable to withstand Sansan's insistence, Jiang Mingzhu finally agreed to her request.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mingzhu and Fu Xiaozhi talked about the matter.
Fu Xiaozhi also misses Sansan very much. Sansan is now at Zhou's house and without Zheng Linxu around, this is her best chance.
So Fu Xiaozhi agreed to Jiang Mingzhu's proposal without hesitation.
After getting off work at five o'clock, Jiang Mingzhu got into Fu Xiaozhi's car and went to Zhou's house.
It was the first time Jiang Mingzhu visited the Zhou family's old house. She had only heard Fu Xiaozhi mention it a few times before, but it was only after she actually came here that she realized how big the Zhou family was.
It's like a huge manor with several villas in it.
There are many flowers and plants planted in the yard, and there is also an independent flower room.
This configuration reminded Jiang Mingzhu of the Zheng family.
Fu Xiaozhi: "The Zhou family is not divided. His grandfather's three sons all live here on Thursday."
Jiang Mingzhu nodded.
Being able to keep the family together shows that the relationship between the whole family is quite good.
This can be seen from the relationship between Zhou Li, Zhou Ren and Zhou Yi.
Fu Xiaozhi parked the car and Jiang Mingzhu came down with her. As soon as she reached the door, someone came to greet her.
He is a middle-aged man who looks very kind.
After Fu Xiaozhi said hello to him, she took Jiang Mingzhu into the yard.
As soon as I came in, I heard the chirping sounds of several children.
Jiang Mingzhu and Fu Xiaozhi took a few steps forward, and the three children saw them.
Sansan put down the toys at hand and rushed towards the two people, holding one with each hand, "Zhuzhu, Zhizhi, you are here."
Jiang Mingzhu said something to San San, and then Xiao Zuo and Xiao You came over.
Jiang Mingzhu and Xiao Zuo Xiaoyou have not seen each other for more than two years, but they have changed a lot.
I have grown up a lot.
After Xiao Zuo and Xiao You saw Jiang Mingzhu, they stopped where they were and pushed each other. They both looked hesitant.
Jiang Mingzhu smiled and asked, "Don't you recognize me?"
"Know!" Xiao Zuo and Xiao You said in unison.
After hearing Jiang Mingzhu's words, they both ran over.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Long time no see. Xiao Zuo and Xiao You have grown taller."
Xiaozuo: "I'm 3 centimeters taller than him!"
Xiaoyou: "So what, I will definitely surpass you in the future, huh."
The two brothers began to quarrel because of their height, but there was no tense atmosphere like a quarrel.
Jiang Mingzhu was so cute that she covered her mouth and laughed.
While Jiang Mingzhu was playing with three children here, Zhou Ren, Ming Yue and Zhou Yi came out.
Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Yi had met before and didn't feel embarrassed.
Zhou Ren and Ming Yue hadn't seen each other for a long time. Jiang Mingzhu nodded and said hello stiffly.
Zhou Ren: "How are you lately?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Yeah, pretty good."
Ming Yue: "That's good. I see you look much better than before. Let's stay and have barbecue together in the evening. There are more people and it will be lively."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Okay."
As soon as she agreed, she heard Ming Yue's slightly surprised voice: "Fourth, why are you back?"
