However, it was not because of Zhou Yi that Cheng Pei met Rongyue. They were both in the same school at that time. Cheng Pei and Rongyue have always been good friends. A group of Chinese Americans often played together.
As a result, Zhou Yi and Rongyue got together.
Cheng Pei complained about Zhou Yi at that time, and he really attacked everyone, and the rabbit didn't even eat the grass on the edge of the nest. Later, the two of them broke up as expected. They thought they were no longer friends, but obviously, compared to As a bystander, the two parties were much more calm, and after the separation, they still got along as if nothing had happened.
Cheng Pei's values differences with theirs in terms of relationships between men and women, but it is impossible for friends to agree on everything, so he has developed a mentality of being indifferent to Zhou Yi's love life.
Only this incident aroused his strong curiosity: "The child's mother doesn't want to get along with you now, does she?"
Zhou Yi nodded.
Cheng Pei: "Does the child know your identity?"
Zhou Yi: "I don't know."
He said, "I signed an agreement with her not to mention it in front of the children."
Cheng Pei: "...Then the child doesn't ask about his father's affairs? He should understand at this age."
Zhou Yi rubbed his temples, pondered for more than ten seconds, and then explained the complicated relationship and reasons to Cheng Pei.
With this explanation, Zheng Linxu was naturally mentioned - the Zheng family is very famous in the Chinese circle in North America and has an extraordinary status. Cheng Pei was shocked when he heard Zheng Linxu's name.
Cheng Pei also heard about the rumors about Zheng Linxu's "illegitimate daughter".
Unexpectedly, this child turned out to be Zhou Yi's; even more unexpectedly, Zhou Yi dared to do such a thing to the daughter of the Zheng family.
Even Cheng Pei, who rarely made sarcastic remarks, wanted to say "he deserves it" to Zhou Yi after hearing these things.
——
On the afternoon of the day he was discharged from the hospital, Zhou Yi drove to Zheng Pianqing's residence. Although his behavior was rude, he couldn't contact anyone. This was the best way.
When Zhou Yi arrived, it was around 3:30. Zheng Pianying was about to go out, and Ajiu was following her.
Zhou Yi just met Zheng Pianying in front of the villa. Unlike his fiery gaze, Zheng Pianying looked at him indifferently, then ignored him and left.
Zhou Yi blocked her and asked, "Where's Sansan? I've been sending messages and calling her these past few days, but she hasn't answered it."
Zhou Yi didn't mean to question. He said this out of worry.
But when it reached Zheng Pianqing's ears, the taste completely changed. She stopped and looked at him indifferently. Her voice was not high, but it was strong and sarcastic, "There is no need to pretend to care about her, first of all She’s not the one who doesn’t reply to messages.”
Thinking of Sansan's sad state due to Zhou Yi's sudden loss of contact some time ago, Zheng Pianying couldn't give Zhou Yi a good look. Her attitude towards him was not particularly good at first, but now it has plummeted.
Zhou Yi heard what she said and immediately explained: "I was in the mountains for a few days and my phone was not charged. I didn't see the message until I came out."
In the mountains.
Zheng Pian chuckled, "I have lived in Hong Kong City for more than 20 years, and I didn't know there were mountains there."
Zhou Yi: "I flew to Hong Kong City, but a few hours after I got off the plane, I took the bus to the West Market, where I -"
"I'm not interested in what you did." Zheng Pianqing interrupted Zhou Yi's explanation. Now she didn't want to hear his voice at all. No matter what he said, it would be sophistry to her ears, "I just need you to remember Stay here and don’t disturb Sansan’s life in the future.”
"Where is she? I want to tell her in person." Looking at Zheng Pianqing's attitude, Zhou Yi knew that explaining to her was useless.
But this was just a trap he had made - Zheng Pianqing wouldn't believe a word of what he said.
Zheng Pianqing ignored him this time, walked around him and walked towards the car. Zhou Yi was about to chase him, but was stopped by Ah Jiu.
Zhou Yi simply looked at Ah Jiu, "Where is Sansan?"
Ah Jiu also didn't have a good look towards Zhou Yi: "Sansan's surname is Zheng. The Zheng family will settle her down and you won't have to worry about her as an outsider."
Zhou Yi: "You know whether I am an outsider or not."
Ah Jiu laughed mockingly, "Zhou Yi, the second lady asked you to see the child because she is kind. Now she is just doing what she should do. What are you clamoring for here?"
After Ah Jiu left these words, he turned around and got into the car. Zhou Yi watched the car go away, stood at the door, leaned weakly against the wall, and his head began to hurt again.
Although he was discharged from the hospital, Zhou Yi's pneumonia had not fully recovered, and his symptoms of dizziness and cough were still obvious.
In early July, the temperature in New York was ridiculously high. The sun was shining directly, and Zhou Yi's sweat had already soaked his T-shirt.
——
It had been five minutes since the car drove out. Ah Jiu looked at Zheng Pianying in the rearview mirror and asked tentatively: "Second Miss, are you okay?"
Zheng Pianqian shook her head: "I'm fine."
She had no longer expected Zhou Yi, she just didn't want to see Sansan get hurt because of him again - Sansan liked playing with him too much before, Zheng Pianqian couldn't bear to force her to make a choice, but after what happened this time , Sansan was also a little disappointed with Zhou Yi.
"Then they must not meet again during this period. If he coaxes her, Sansan will probably relent." Ah Jiu asked, "Would you like to arrange for your mother and daughter to travel together?"
Zheng Pianqing also had this intention: "Let's go to Vancouver, it's cooler."
It was just in time for the summer vacation. As long as he was not in New York, Zhou Yi would not be able to take advantage of the opportunity to repair the relationship with Sansan.
Zheng Pianqian's thoughts were similar to Ah Jiu's. Sansan liked Zhou Yi quite a lot. Although this incident made her a little disappointed with Zhou Yi, she could resolve it easily with Zhou Yi's coaxing rank.
But Zheng Pianqian couldn't stand it happening again. Zhou Yi's promise was worthless. As a mother, she might go to see Sansan and get hurt again.
In the past few days, because she couldn't contact Zhou Yi, Sansan was very disappointed and even talked less. Zheng Pianqian later signed her up for a summer camp in order to relieve her mood and divert her attention.
Cell phones are not allowed in the summer camp, and parents can only be contacted regularly through the team leader's cell phone. This is exactly the purpose of Zheng Pian Ting sending San San to the summer camp.
Sansan would talk to Zheng Pianqian on the phone once a day. In the first two days, she would still ask about Zhou Yi, but then she gradually stopped asking, but Zheng Pianqian had no way to confirm that she really played until she forgot. I'm still afraid of getting a disappointing answer, so I'm avoiding it.
The summer camp ended today, and Zheng Pianqing went to the airport to pick her up.
Sansan's flight landed at five o'clock, and Zheng Pianying was waiting at the pick-up gate more than half an hour in advance.
Zheng Pian Ting bought San San a donut at the airport bakery.
Sansan's flight landed on time, and around 5:15, the tour leader came out with a group of children.
Sansan saw Zheng Pianying immediately, opened his arms and rushed toward her.
Zheng Pianqing caught her.
