Qin Lie had just returned from the Haicheng branch and was on a business trip to New York. Zheng Pian Ting simply listened to his conversation and found that his work seemed to be going well.
For Qin Lie, Zheng Pianqian has always been very grateful in her heart - or in other words, Qin Lie has special meaning to her.
If Qin Lie hadn't been by her side for more than a year, she might have tried every means to fall. But giving up on oneself was never the answer. If she had done that, she would have become even more disgusted than before. Own.
It was Qin Lie who stopped her and grabbed her as she fell.
Based on this alone, Zheng Pianqing couldn't turn her back on him, but she still had some concerns about getting along with Qin Lie - after all, they had been separated for more than a year, and Qin Lie was in his early thirties, so he might already have a daughter. Friends.
Therefore, when Zheng Pianqing first got on the plane, she spoke cautiously, even a little stiffly.
Later, Qin Lie noticed her concerns and said to her with a smile: "I'm still single now, so you don't have to be so restrained."
With Qin Lie's words, Zheng Pianqian felt a lot less psychological pressure when talking to him. The two of them chatted almost all the way, and even watched "The Bridge of Lost Dreams" together.
After the flight landed, the two walked out of the airport together.
Zheng Linxu and Sansan were waiting for Zheng Pianying at the airport, and saw Qin Lie beside her.
"Mom~" Sansan saw Zheng Pianying from a long way away and couldn't wait to call her, raising his arms and waving to her.
After Qin Lie heard the voice, he looked across. He had seen Sansan's photo before, so he recognized her at a glance. She was much taller than she looked in the photo, but her face and facial features had hardly changed. ,so cute.
Today she was wearing sportswear, with her hair in twin ponytails, and a small schoolbag on her back. She was standing there waving excitedly, her cheeks flushed.
Qin Lie and Zheng Pian Ting walked up to San San together. San San rushed forward and hugged Zheng Pian Ting. After holding her face and giving her a big kiss, San San noticed the man next to Zheng Pian Ting.
Sansan raised her head and looked at Qin Lie, blinking: "Mom, is this handsome uncle your boyfriend?"
Only then did Zheng Pianqing remember to introduce Sansan, "This is Uncle Qin Lie."
Like a little adult, Sansan stretched out his hand towards Qin Lie: "Hello, uncle Qin Lie, I am Sansan. Nice to meet you."
Qin Lie looked at San San and smiled, then shook hands with her cooperatively, "Nice to meet you."
Zheng Linxu knew Qin Lie. Zheng Pianying had mentioned it to him many times, but today was the first time they met.
After Qin Lie shook hands with San San, he looked at Zheng Linxu and greeted him proactively. Zheng Linxu responded politely and said "thank you".
There is so much information contained in just two words.
Qin Lie didn't make a fuss about it, he just said with a smile: "It should be."
Zheng Lin said: "Are you coming to New York to work? If you have time, I'll treat you to a meal."
Qin Lie nodded, "Okay, thank you first, Mr. Zheng. I'll contact you when I'm free."
——
After Zheng Pianqing returned to New York, she caught a cold for a week due to jet lag and the fatigue of traveling. She was afraid of infecting Sansan, so she simply lived alone in a nearby villa.
Zheng Linxu arranged for someone to take care of her daily life, and he would come over to see her every day.
During dinner that day, Zheng Linxu came over again, but his face was very serious, as if something had happened.
When Zheng Pianqing saw Zheng Linxu's expression, she suddenly had an ominous premonition: "Brother, what's wrong? Is it Sansan..."
"Don't worry, Sansan is fine." Zheng Linxu interrupted Zheng Pianqing's random thoughts first, and then said: "What I want to tell you is another thing...about Chengguang."
Zheng Pianqing was stunned for a moment after hearing this name that she had not mentioned for a long time, "Have you found Chengguang?"
Zheng Lin said "Yeah" and then told a cruel fact: "Chengguang is no longer here."
Zheng Pianqing clenched her fists.
Zheng Lin said: "Your situation was not good in the past few years, so I never told you about this matter. Mingzhu is the sister Chengguang recognized in the orphanage. When she came to me, Chengguang had already left."
Zheng Pianqing's voice was trembling: "How did you leave?"
Zheng Linxu's expression became more serious - this was the most difficult part to speak.
He has been hiding it from Zheng Pian Ting in the past few years because this matter involves the Zhou family. Although Zhou Yi and Zhou Li are just cousins, whenever they are mentioned, it will definitely bring back Zheng Pian Ting's bad memories.
Before, Zheng Pianqing lived in Zurich all year round, and Zheng Linxu could hide it. Now that she has returned to New York, Jiang Mingzhu has been investigating the matter, and it cannot be hidden.
Zheng Linxu had been thinking about his words in the past few days, so after a period of silence, he truthfully told Zheng Pianqing the whole story, Pei Ye's kidney, Zhan Yubai's deception and murder, and Zhou Pianqing's story. The relationship between Li and Zhou Yi.
After Zheng Pianqian finished listening, she fell into a long silence.
To be honest, after separating from Zhou Yi, Zheng Pianqian never thought that their lives would intersect again, although they had encountered each other several times.
They are not from the same city, nor do they have a common circle of friends, so it will be difficult for them to interact with each other again in this life.
What I didn't expect was that the Zhou family and the Zheng family would actually get involved because of this matter.
"There is insufficient evidence now. Zhan Yubai is involved in a major case of illegal experiments, and the Zhou family is also investigating." Zheng Linxu thought about it and added the following paragraph: "I will try my best to avoid him appearing, but Pianying, you also need to be mentally prepared."
Zheng Pianqing nodded: "Okay."
When Zheng Lin mentioned that the Zhou family was investigating this matter, Zheng Pianqing knew that Zhou Yi must be involved.
If it was only Zhou Li who was investigating, there was no need for Zheng Linxu to tell her in such a serious manner.
Zheng Pianqing's reaction was much calmer than Zheng Linxu expected.
Apart from being surprised, Zheng Linxu was even more relieved that after all these years, she finally saw her coming out of the shadow.
Zheng Linxu thought of Qin Lie.
He asked Zheng Pianqing, "Have you been in contact with Qin Lie these days?"
Zheng Pianqing: "Well, I sent a few messages."
Zheng Linxu didn't say anything more, just stared at Zheng Pianqing.
But Zheng Pianqian understood what he meant immediately, "Brother, I'm fine just the way I am."
With Zheng Pianqing's words, Zheng Linxu naturally couldn't push her any further, "Okay, the most important thing is that you feel comfortable."
The two of them did not continue the topic. Zheng Linxu began to chat with Zheng Pianqian about Sansan's "birthday" plan, "Tianzhuzhu will also come back tomorrow. I have already booked the restaurant. We will go there together."
Zheng Pianqing nodded, "I'm almost fine. I'll take Sansan to school tomorrow morning."
Sansan had expressed to her many times before that she hoped her mother would take her to and from school.
Zheng Pianqing has also been thinking about it for a long time.
