Mu Chen nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Zheng Pianqing knew that he was curious, so she said a few more words: "I was very depressed at that time, and I would think of bad things when I saw her, so I haven't seen her since she was born. The first time was when I was three years old." See."
Mu Chen was a little stunned after hearing this, "Has your brother always taken care of you?"
Zheng Pianqing: "Yeah."
Mu Chen: "Your brother is so kind."
Zheng Pianqing: "Yes."
Her eyes were a little wandering, "If it weren't for him and my sister, I might have died long ago."
She had no expression when she said this, and even her tone of voice didn't fluctuate at all, but Mu Chen's heart felt sour when she heard it.
Mu Chen took Zheng Pianqing into his arms and said, "When you regain your new life, you must enjoy life and be happy."
Zheng Pianqing: "Okay."
Although she can't remember the last time she was happy, when she mentions these two words now, at least she won't reject or escape them like before.
For a long time, she felt that she would never be happy in her life. When others tried to persuade her to be happy, she would find it ridiculous. What qualifications did a person like her have to be happy?
I'm just glad that time is really good medicine. Even if she still can't be happy now, at least she has some expectations for life - at least, she must be worthy of Zheng Linxu and Zheng Yuemi's dedication to her.
In the evening, Zheng Pianqian and Mu Chen drank some wine while having dinner. The two of them chatted, and then they talked about Zhou Yi.
This was the first time Zheng Pianqian talked about Zhou Yi with people around her - after what happened that year, she never mentioned Zhou Yi's name even in front of Zheng Linxu and Zheng Yuemi.
And they, in order to take care of her feelings, have always avoided talking about this name.
But in fact, everyone knows that true not caring does not mean not saying anything, but being able to face it calmly.
When Mu Chen heard Zheng Pianqing talking about the entanglement between Zhou Yi and his ex-girlfriend, he could already guess the reason for their breakup. Most women couldn't bear this kind of thing.
Mu Chen: "Have you never communicated with him?"
Zheng Pianqing: "It makes no sense."
"I'm no match for him," she said.
Mu Chen: "Did he quarrel with you? Harm you?"
Zheng Pianqian shook her head, "No."
From the time he met Zhou Yi until they ended, Zhou Yi never quarreled with her, nor was he aggressive towards her. He was always gentle and considerate in front of her, and even when she was angry, he was not impatient at all.
But what he did was far more terrifying than arguing and being impatient.
Zheng Pianqing was dizzy after drinking, and she talked more than usual. Perhaps it was because she had been suppressing it for too long. She spent a lot of time telling Mu Chen how Zhou Yi "coaxed" her.
During this period, Zhou Yi's explanation of "security" was inevitably mentioned.
Mu Chen is also a man, and some of Zhou Yi's remarks are understandable to him from a man's perspective.
There is nothing wrong with people liking freedom, and Mu Chen doesn't like being restrained either.
But since he knows that he is this kind of person, he should find a similar person and find a woman who can accept him and his ex-girlfriend as friends instead of provoking Zheng Pianqing.
Mu Chen: "It's wise for you to break up with him. You two are not the same person."
From Zheng Pianqing's words, Mu Chen felt that Zhou Yi and his ex-girlfriend were the best match.
When she mentioned this matter, Zheng Pianqian took another sip of wine, then she shook her head, "I didn't mention it."
Mu Chen: "Did he mention that?"
Zheng Pianqing continued to shake her head, "I'll leave directly."
Mu Chen thought of what Zheng Pianqing had said about depression before, and combined with this incident, he understood everything - she should have been in so much pain that she didn't even have the courage to break up.
Mu Chen thought for a moment and asked her, "Do you still hate him?"
Qin Lie also asked this question.
Zheng Pianqing lowered her eyes and shook her head, "It's just your wish and I have nothing to hate."
——
After dinner, it was Zheng Linxu who personally came to pick Zheng Pianqing away.
After saying goodbye to Mu Chen, the brother and sister got into the car together.
On the way back, Zheng Linxu looked at the slightly drunk Zheng Pianqing and asked her, "How did you meet him?"
Zheng Pianqing: "I met him in Santorini during our last trip."
Zheng Linxu: "Is he chasing you?"
Zheng Pianqing: "No, just for fun."
Zheng Linxu looked at her sideways and did not answer.
Zheng Pianqing: "Brother, you don't have to worry about me, I know what I'm doing."
"It's pointless to fall in love, so that's good. Now I...understand those people who don't want to take responsibility very well." She gave a rare smile, "I'm very happy to live without my baggage."
Zheng Linxu was silent for a long time before asking: "Are you really happy?"
Zheng Pianqing: "Actually, I don't quite remember what happiness feels like, but recently... I don't seem to hate myself anymore."
When Mu Chen took her to the bar to sing, she saw the people in the audience applauding her, cheering her, praising her beautiful singing voice, and suddenly she woke up - few people in the world knew her past, and she even more There is no need to trap yourself.
She is free to do what she wants and she is a valuable person.
Zheng Lin said: "That's good. As long as you are comfortable, you can do anything."
Zheng Linxu never thought about letting Zheng Pianqing fall in love or get married. Neither of these are necessities of life. Now that the Zheng family already has a child named Sansan, it is enough.
"Brother." Zheng Pian Ting lowered her head and thought for a long time. Finally, as if she had made some important decision, she said to him, "I will go to New York to accompany you next year."
"There's no rush." Zheng Lin said, "Sansan is in kindergarten now. Her personality and mental state are very good. You can just focus more on yourself."
——
Zhou Yi did not expect that when he heard Zheng Linxu's name again, it would be from his cousin Zhou Li——
This was even more surprising than him knowing that Zhou Li was cheating on Chen Cang with his fiancée Zhan Yu and Bai Jiang Mingzhu behind his back.
Hearing that Zhou Li was checking Zheng Linsu, Zhou Yi's curiosity was aroused: "Why are you checking the Zheng family?"
Zhou Li took Zhou Yi to the secret room of Yushuiwan Study Room. Zhou Yi was surprised when he saw the dense documents and clues inside.
The Zheng family has been developing better and better over the years, and the information is tightly sealed from the outside world. It is difficult to find out what is going on inside.
What Zhou Yi knew was what he heard from Zheng Pianxing when he first fell in love with her.
He had often heard Zheng Pianqing talking about her little nephew who was missing in a car accident, but he never expected that this person would be related to their Zhou family.
Zhou Li was very worried about investigating this matter. Zhou Yi happened to have nothing to do during this time, so he joined in to help him investigate.
On this day, Zhou Yi met Jiang Mingzhu and Fu Xiaozhi in the mall. Fu Xiaozhi was holding a gold lock in his hand.
Zhou Yi casually asked who he bought it for.
Fu Xiaozhi smiled and said, "Zhuzhu bought it. Her uncle's child is having his birthday soon."
Zhou Yi's face darkened.
Jiang Mingzhu's brother-in-law is Zheng Linxu.
Then his child——
