Jiang Mingzhu's words gave Zhou Yi an idea, and he immediately remembered the scene when he first met Zheng Linxu.
That should be the third year after Zheng Linxu took over the Zheng family, and the internal struggle within the Zheng family had just stabilized.
Before meeting, Zhou Yi had heard too many things about Zheng Linsu from Zheng Pianqing.
The two siblings have always had a good relationship. When the accident first happened, Zheng Pianqian talked about Zheng Linxu almost every day.
As a boyfriend, Zhou Yidu was often annoyed even after knowing that they were siblings.
What Zheng Pianqing often says is "Zheng Linxu has sacrificed too much for the Zheng family", "The second brother is not like this", and "The second brother has no interest in business at all".
According to Zheng Pianqing's description, Zheng Linxu has been a person who loves freedom since childhood and is not interested in family business.
I heard that he learned horse riding and shooting when he was very young. He started rock climbing and engaged in outdoor sports when he was in middle school. He also met his girlfriend in college because of outdoor sports.
At this point, Zhou Yi paused and explained to Jiang Mingzhu: "Oh, it's the Ji Jingxi who is engaged to him."
Jiang Mingzhu held the water glass with a complicated expression on her face.
Zhou Yi asked her with a smile: "Don't you believe it's him? The first time I saw him in person, I didn't think it was the same."
Jiang Mingzhu laughed dryly, not because she couldn't believe it, but because she couldn't associate those adjectives with Zheng Linxu.
Jiang Mingzhu has always felt that Zheng Linxu is a very typical leader of a wealthy family. He should have followed the steps all the way. He has received the best education since he was a child, shouldered his responsibilities, and would never be deviant.
Zhou Yi: "Don't you know? The heir designated by the Zheng family at the beginning was the eldest son, your brother's father."
He explained the situation he knew to Jiang Mingzhu, "Then something happened to the couple, and the Zheng family was in constant strife. He was the only male left, so he had to take over. He should have been twenty-three or twenty-four at that time." .”
Regarding the difficulties and obstacles Zheng Linxu encountered after taking over the Zheng family, Zhou Yi mostly knew it from Zheng Pianqing's mouth. It was not exhaustive, but he still remembered some of the more critical things.
For example: "Qingcheng Capital is too big. When something happened to Boss Zheng, there were many people who wanted to get a share of the pie. Zheng Linxu was in trouble from all sides. Later, it was said that an elder helped him a lot and he was able to survive."
Hearing this, Jiang Mingzhu blurted out a name: "Wenqi."
Before, she only knew that Wen Qi's uncle had helped Zheng Linxu, but she didn't know what the specific matter was.
Now it exactly matches what Zhou Yi said.
What Mr. Wen did to Zheng Linxu can no longer be simply described as "helping". Listening to Zhou Yi's meaning, without him, Zheng Linxu would have been deceived and would have nothing.
No wonder Zheng Linxu is so indulgent towards Wen Qi.
Zhou Yi talked intermittently about a lot of things that Zheng Linxu encountered when he first took over the Zheng family. Jiang Mingzhu was frightened when he heard this.
"When I first met him, those people on the surface had almost been dealt with."
Jiang Mingzhu: "On the surface? That means there are still people watching him secretly?"
Zhou Yi: "Of course, it can't be destroyed. The big tree attracts the wind."
He fell into memories, "I heard that he had a girlfriend who was talking about marriage at the time. The group of people targeted her and kidnapped her, and almost had an accident. Fortunately, Zheng Linxu found out in time, and she survived. But the two finally broke up, and I haven’t heard of a woman around him since then.”
Jiang Mingzhu's hair went numb when she heard it, and she held Zhou Li's hand.
There was sweat on her palms. After Zhou Li felt it, he held her with his backhand.
After listening to so much, the two of them had already made a rough judgment in their hearts - why Zheng Linxu allowed Wen Qi to make trouble, and why he didn't fall in love and get married for so many years.
And... why should you push Fu Xiaozhi away.
Jiang Mingzhu turned to look at He Zhou Li and communicated with him with her eyes.
Obviously, Zhou Li also thought of these things she thought of, and there was such a tacit understanding between them.
Seeing the two of them looking at each other like this, Zhou Yi couldn't help but joke: "You asked me to come over to watch you show your affection, right?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Thank you, second brother, for telling me this."
Zhou Yi: "You're welcome, but... Zheng Linxu never mentioned the past to you?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Never."
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Yes, I want to act like an elder in front of you."
"Not only to you, but also in front of your sister-in-law. She was complaining to me a few days ago that Zheng Linxu didn't tell her when he was injured. If he hadn't been found in Beicheng..."
"He's in Beicheng?!" Before Zhou Yi could finish speaking, Jiang Mingzhu interrupted him.
Zhou Yi: "The Spring Festival is just around the corner. I'm recovering from my injury. Don't you know?"
Jiang Mingzhu's face turned even darker.
Zhou Li: "When we paid New Year's greetings, he said he was in New York."
——
After sending Zhou Yi away, Jiang Mingzhu couldn't sit still at all: "Zhou Li, go and help me check which hotel he is staying in. I'm going to find him to find out."
As she spoke, she walked towards the cloakroom, ready to change clothes.
Zhou Li took her wrist: "Do you think he will stay in a hotel?"
Jiang Mingzhu suddenly realized.
Also, if Zheng Linxu is so afraid of people discovering that he is in Beicheng, he will definitely not be so high-profile as to stay in a hotel.
Then there is only one place...
"You can send me to the prime minister's villa now." Jiang Mingzhu looked into Zhou Li's eyes and said this word by word.
Zhou Li glanced down at her belly and said in a deep voice, "Calm down, the doctor said you can't get excited."
Thinking of the child in her belly, Jiang Mingzhu immediately took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down: "Okay, I'll try my best."
It's really hard to stay calm when things like this happen.
Jiang Mingzhu put on a coat and flat shoes and went out with Zhou Li.
On the way to the prime minister's villa, Jiang Mingzhu said to Zhou Li firmly: "I think he is looking for Ji Jingxi to act, just like you were looking for Xu Yingfei."
Zhou Li: "..."
In fact, you don’t need to take him with you.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Although I don't know why Ji Jingxi is willing to act with him, he probably wants to stimulate Zhizhi and Jin Yangshen to get engaged in this way."
Zhou Li: "Yeah."
Jiang Mingzhu: "He was afraid that those people would find Zhizhi again, what do you think?"
Zhou Li: "It's possible."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I just said he likes it! He will regret it sooner or later!"
In less than twenty minutes, Zhou Li's car had stopped at the entrance of the Prime Minister's Villa.
After Jiang Mingzhu got off the car, she went straight to the door. She stood in front of the password lock at the door. When she was about to raise her hand to enter the password, the door was opened from the inside.
Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li met Ji Jingxi.
Ji Jingxi's heart skipped a beat when he saw the two of them. After being stiff for a moment, he finally managed to smile.
"I came to Beicheng for a business trip for a while. I will stay here temporarily. I hope you don't mind." She never mentioned Zheng Linxu.
Jiang Mingzhu looked directly past her into the yard, "Is he in there?"
