Ji Jingxi has asked Zheng Linxu the same question many times in the past few days.
Although he didn't answer directly, he already had various assumptions in his mind.
Seeing Zheng Linxu's silence, Jiang Mingzhu continued: "You should know better than me. In a family like theirs, once Zhizhi and Jin Yangshen are publicly engaged, marriage is a certainty, and the Fu family will not allow any accidents to occur later."
"So, you don't have much time." Jiang Mingzhu said every word, as if she was giving him an ultimatum.
Zheng Linxu's lips pursed into a line and she didn't speak for a long time.
Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li were both so smart, and they had probably figured out the answer from his silence.
Zhou Li: "Since you can't bear it, face it head on."
Zheng Lin said: "This is unfair to Jin Yangshen."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Then what do you think is fair? After they got married, you suddenly regretted it and gave him a cuckold?"
Zheng Linxu: "...She is not that kind of person."
This "she" is Fu Xiaozhi.
Even he himself didn't realize how obviously protective the words were.
But both Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li heard it. They looked at each other, and then Zhou Li said: "The time of the engagement has not been announced to the public. It's too late now. You can think about it yourself."
——
Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li stayed at the Prime Minister's Villa for almost an hour, and before leaving, Ji Jingxi came back.
Although she knew that Ji Jingxi was acting with Zheng Linxu, the previous stereotype was deeply ingrained and it was difficult for Jiang Mingzhu to be enthusiastic about Ji Jingxi.
But Ji Jingxi didn't care about this. She was very enthusiastic about Jiang Mingzhu, and after putting down her shopping bags, she personally sent her and Zhou Li out.
After stopping at the Prime Minister's Villa, Ji Jingxi glanced at Jiang Mingzhu's belly and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work. You still have to worry about Lin Xu while you are pregnant."
Jiang Mingzhu: "He is my family, as it should be."
Although she said it with a smile, her tone was not warm and could even be described as cold.
Ji Jingxi: "You don't seem to like me very much."
She exposed this point very directly, "I felt it the first few times. Is it because of Zhizhi?"
Jiang Mingzhu didn't expect Ji Jingxi to ask such a question, so she got choked up and didn't respond for a long time.
Ji Jingxi: "It seems that Linxu didn't tell you the conditions for my cooperation with him."
She is so smart, of course she knows the crux: "I have known him for more than ten years, and our relationship has long since deteriorated. He asked me to cooperate because it is impossible for us to be together. He will not find someone who has intentions for him. You’re asking for trouble.”
Jiang Mingzhu: "What are the conditions for your cooperation?"
Ji Jingxi: "Money, he contributes money and I contribute effort. This is the most stable relationship."
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
Ji Jingxi: "Are you here to persuade him today?"
Jiang Mingzhu didn't know the purpose of Ji Jingxi's question. When she was making eye contact with Zhou Li, she heard Ji Jingxi say: "Actually, I have been trying to persuade him these past few days."
This time it was Jiang Mingzhu’s turn to be surprised——
Ji Jingxi saw her eyes widened and laughed again: "Are you surprised?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Jin Yangshen is your cousin."
Ji Jingxi: "It's precisely because he is my cousin that I don't want him to spend the rest of his life with someone who has another man in his heart. It's too hard, isn't it?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
Ji Jingxi: "He deserves a consensual relationship."
Jiang Mingzhu couldn't refute that Jin Yangshen had such a good character. If Fu Xiaozhi never called him, it would be really unfair to live his whole life.
Ji Jingxi: "So I will also help you. Can you add me on WeChat?"
——
After Jin Yangshen went on a business trip this time, Fu Xiaozhi lost contact with him.
I knew this before I left.
Being unable to contact Jin Yangshen gave Fu Xiaozhi time and space to seriously think about this relationship.
Fu Xiaozhi never felt that she was a noble person and she had to go to bed with the person in her heart.
But even if she sleeps, she must at least feel something in her body - she thought that this feeling could be developed slowly. After all, she had kissed Jin Yangshen several times, and she didn't have any particularly bad feelings.
But when it comes to flirting, everything seems to be different.
Fu Xiaozhi felt that she really needed to think about this relationship.
If they can't even achieve a physical fit, then what's the point of getting engaged and getting married, is it just to find someone to accompany them?
Jin Yangshen is also a normal man, and Fu Xiaozhi has felt how strong his needs are before.
It's not fair to him to waste each other like this.
If it can't satisfy his love needs or his physical needs, why continue to persist.
No one is a saint.
Fu Xiaozhi thought about it for three days and finally decided to wait for Jin Yangshen to come back and have a frank chat with him.
Fortunately, the date of the engagement has not been officially announced yet, so there is room for change.
The moment she made this decision, Fu Xiaozhi felt relieved.
When she was about to talk to Jiang Mingzhu about this matter, Jiang Mingzhu's WeChat message also came.
Jiang Mingzhu asked her to go to Yushui Bay in the afternoon.
Fu Xiaozhi happened to have no work in the afternoon, so he drove to Yushuiwan after lunch break. When he arrived, he brought a box of biscuits to Jiang Mingzhu.
Fu Xiaozhi was stared at by Zhou Li for five minutes because of this sweet biscuit.
The biscuits were naturally "confiscated" by Zhou Li. Fu Xiaozhi and Jiang Mingzhu went to the bedroom upstairs. After entering the door, they couldn't help complaining: "Oh, Thursday is becoming more and more like an old woman. She is so controlling. As long as you can tolerate him.”
Jiang Mingzhu smiled: "He is also afraid that I will feel uncomfortable."
Fu Xiaozhi said "tsk", "Come on, I'm talking too much, you are willing to be beaten and the other is willing to suffer."
She sat down with Jiang Mingzhu, "By the way, why did you come to me for this?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Boss Zheng is in Beicheng."
Fu Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then began to calculate the time.
It has been more than half a month, and Zheng Linxu is still here? Then his injury...
Fu Xiaozhi coughed, looked at Jiang Mingzhu and confessed to her: "Actually, I knew about this before."
This time it was Jiang Mingzhu's turn to be surprised: "Before?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "I went out riding on New Year's Eve and met him in a coffee shop."
Fu Xiaozhi told Jiang Mingzhu exactly what happened between her and Zheng Linxu that day.
Including the details of ordering takeout for him after leaving.
After Jiang Mingzhu listened, her beautiful eyes stared at Fu Xiaozhi's face. Although she didn't speak, her eyes expressed her feelings very clearly.
What Jiang Mingzhu expressed was: You still can't let him go.
Fu Xiaozhi did not deny this. She remembered her purpose of looking for Jiang Mingzhu today.
"Zhuzhu, after thinking about it for many days, I still feel that I can't get engaged to Jin Yangshen." Fu Xiaozhi looked into Jiang Mingzhu's eyes and said this.
Jiang Mingzhu's eyebrows skipped a beat: "...Huh? Is it because..."
"It has nothing to do with Zheng Linxu." Fu Xiaozhi said, "Zheng Linxu and I can't be together. I know this very well."
