However, Zheng Pianqing didn't think that taking care of Wen Qi required Zheng Linxu to completely sacrifice his feelings and push Fu Xiaozhi away.
Zheng Pianqing was lost in memories for a long time. After she came to her senses, she looked at Zheng Lin again and said, "It seems like we haven't chatted like this since you took over the company."
Zheng Linxu smiled, "Really?"
Zheng Pianqing: "Yes, so I don't know what you think now."
Zheng Lin said: "She and I are not suitable."
Zheng Pianqing: "Isn't the age appropriate? In fact, you are not very different. Now there are many..."
"No." Zheng Linxu denied, "You know her background."
Zheng Pianqing: "So what? Isn't it common for politics and business to combine?"
Zheng Linxu smiled helplessly after hearing Zheng Pianqing's words, "You don't understand many things."
"How do you think I defeated those people back then?" He asked several questions in succession, "Do you think the Zheng family is really innocent and can withstand all the scrutiny? Do you think that the people I dealt with back then were Won’t those people take this opportunity to make a comeback?”
Every time Zheng Linxu asked another question, Zheng Pianqing's face became more solemn.
As Zheng Linxu said, she has never participated in the company's affairs in these years. Even after her eldest brother passed away, Zheng Linxu protected her better.
Among the things Zheng Lin asked about, the only thing Zheng Pianqing knew about were some rumors about the Zheng family's origins.
But that was a matter for three generations upwards. Even if there were really layers of scrutiny, there was no way to blame Zheng Linxu.
So the problem is not that -
Zheng Pianqian pursed her lips and said, "Those people in the company back then, are they still staring at you?"
Zheng Linxu smiled lightly and was noncommittal.
Zheng Pianqing: "How did you deal with them in the first place? They have no power and power now, how could they..."
"People like this are the most terrifying." Zheng Linxu interrupted her, "Because they have nothing to lose, understand."
Zheng Pianqing fell into silence after being spoken to.
This is really the case.
People who have no escape route and no nostalgia will really risk their lives with others.
Just when she thought of this, Zheng Pianqian heard Zheng Lin say again: "I once thought they couldn't find any water flowers."
Zheng Pianqing: "What... did they do?"
Zheng Lin said: "After Ji Jingxi, I dated two girlfriends, and one of them broke up when she was about to get married. Do you remember?"
Zheng Pianqing: "I remember, the separation was so sudden. I thought you..."
"She was kidnapped by rescuers and almost raped." When talking about this matter, Zheng Linxu's eyes turned gloomy.
Zheng Pian got goosebumps.
Zheng Linxu was lucky that time and rescued the person.
The people who responded were taken away by the Hong Kong police, and the matter was handled fairly cleanly.
But Zheng Linsu still broke up with his girlfriend who was already talking about marriage at the time, and he never had a relationship at all after that.
Zheng Pianqing was silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally reacted: "You haven't gotten married all these years... is it because of this?"
Zheng Lin said: "You never know how many eyes are staring at you from behind."
Zheng Pianqing: "Then you and Ji Jingxi are..."
"Acting." Zheng Linxu took over her words, but did not explain the starting point.
Zheng Pianqing: "Is it because of Wen Qi?"
Zheng Lin said: "Half and half."
Zheng Pianqing: "...don't tell me that you want to use this method to motivate Zhizhi to get engaged."
——
Fu Xiaozhi and Jin Yangshen stayed in Hong Kong City for three days, and then returned to Beicheng with Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li.
As the New Year approaches, the Fu family is already preparing for the Spring Festival.
Mr. Fu has been particularly lively since he retired. He started decorating his home more than half a month before the Spring Festival. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he could see strings of lanterns.
According to past rules, Fu Xiaozhi would go back to Fu's house during the Spring Festival, and Jin Yangshen would also go back with his parents to celebrate the New Year.
This also means that the two of them will spend the Spring Festival separately.
Jin Yangshen's parents did not live in Beicheng, so he flew to Jincheng after the holidays.
During the Spring Festival, Fu Xiaozhi and Jin Yangshen entered into a brief long-distance relationship.
Fu Xiaozhi is quite adaptable. She and Jin Yangshen are not the kind of couple who stick together every day. It's good to separate occasionally to keep things fresh.
On New Year's Eve, the weather in Beicheng was good, the sun was clear, cloudless, and the afternoon temperature was not too low.
Fu Xiaozhi was bored at home, so she went out to ride a bike.
There were very few people on the road during the Spring Festival. Fu Xiaozhi rode smoothly and soon arrived in the city.
Feeling a little hungry, Fu Xiaozhi found a coffee shop and sat down, ordering a sandwich and latte set.
The set meal had just arrived, and when Fu Xiaozhi was about to eat, he saw a familiar figure walking into the coffee shop.
Fu Xiaozhi's movements stopped in mid-air, her arms stiff.
She would not recognize the man wearing a dark gray woolen windbreaker even if he turned to gray.
Zheng Linxu came alone. Fu Xiaozhi had no intention of observing him carefully, but his fatigue and frown were too conspicuous.
Not only that, his face and lips were pale, and he looked sick.
Zheng Linxu must have been too uncomfortable. He kept walking with his head down, and he happened to be coming towards the direction where Fu Xiaozhi was sitting.
When Fu Xiaozhi saw Zheng Linxu covering his stomach with one hand, he immediately understood something——
Zheng Lin said that he had a bad stomach. She had seen him suffer from gastric attacks several times before. Logically speaking, he should bring medicine with him.
Fu Xiaozhi raised his head and looked at Zheng Linxu.
This time Zheng Linxu also saw her.
The moment their eyes met, Fu Xiaozhi saw surprise in Zheng Linxu's eyes.
Then, Fu Xiaozhi saw Zheng Linxu put down the hand covering his stomach, and his body, which was originally a little rickety, straightened up a bit.
However, after doing this, his face turned even paler.
At this time, the waiter came up and asked him what he wanted.
Zheng Lin said: "American style."
Fu Xiaozhi: "A cup of hot oat milk, thank you."
Their two voices sounded at the same time.
The waiter looked at the two of them with a troubled expression, not knowing who to listen to.
Zheng Linxu did not expect that Fu Xiaozhi would speak at this time and looked towards her.
Fu Xiaozhi said directly to the waiter: "I know him, listen to me, go ahead."
The waiter finally listened to Fu Xiaozhi, served a cup of hot oat milk, and placed it on the seat opposite Fu Xiaozhi.
Zheng Linxu sat down opposite Fu Xiaozhi, his eyes fell on her, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Fu Xiaozhi lowered his head and ate the sandwich, with no intention of chatting with him.
Zheng Linxu took a sip of oat milk and said proactively: "Thank you."
Fu Xiaozhi: "You pay the bill yourself."
Zheng Linxu called the waiter, paid for Fu Xiaozhi's set meal, and ordered her a cake as dessert.
Fu Xiaozhi took a big sip of latte.
When she was about to scold Zheng Linxu for being incomprehensible, the man opposite him covered his stomach again with a very painful expression.
Fu Xiaozhi immediately changed her words as she spoke. She frowned: "Have you brought any medicine?"
