The Fake Heiress's Husband Reborn

For Xie Jing, it seemed she was always a supporting character. Though the eldest daughter, her parents favored her twin younger siblings, Xie Wuyi and Xie Wuyou more. In terms of family affection, ...

Chapter 78 The Butterfly Effect

Zhou Jiyun: "We will investigate quietly among ourselves. This matter should not be made known to too many people."

Xie Jing: "Don't worry, I know what to do. Unfortunately, I don't have any available staff, so it's a bit difficult to get things done."

Zhou Jiyun understood what Xie Jing meant. He lowered his head and chuckled twice: "I'll tell Brother Fan later."

Seeing Xie Jing's puzzled look, Zhou Jiyun tugged at his tie and said, "Brother Fan used to be a scout and had quite a few people under him."

Xie Jing understood: "Okay, then you can talk to Brother Fan. Do you want me to meet with Brother Fan?"

Zhou Jiyun: "Please invite Brother Fan to come to your house on the weekend. Some things can only be discussed face to face."

"Thinking about our difficult fate, I feel like God is playing a huge joke on us." Looking at the bands of light formed by the streetlights on both sides of the road, Zhou Jiyun sighed softly, "A huge mystery lingers around us."

Xie Jing raised an eyebrow: "Solving puzzles is quite interesting. Besides, no matter what the secret is, we already know a lot of it now."

"But speaking of which, has the marriage between your second uncle and the Shen family started so early?"

Zhou Jiyun narrowed his eyes. "No, as far as I remember, it was in the third year of our marriage that Zhou Jiwen and Shen Yaozhi gradually became familiar with each other. It was only after you became pregnant that Zhou Jiwen and Shen Yaozhi got engaged."

Xie Jing pondered, "The butterfly effect. It shows that even if we have to do it again, not everything will go according to the established trajectory."

"I guess the variable is that you showed how much you valued me."

Zhou Jiyun: "I guess so. If we don't have the next generation for the time being, or even if our relationship is not good, Zhou Zhida can naturally slowly make plans. But if our relationship is good, once we have children, Zhou Zhida's chances of winning will be even smaller."

"He is now eager to cooperate with the Shen family. He probably wants Zhou Jiwen to get married sooner. If Zhou Jiwen has a child before us, he can use the Shen family to compete with us."

Xie Jing listened intently. Now that she and Zhou Jiyun were in the same boat, they naturally had a common enemy. So no matter what, she and Zhou Jiyun had to find the hidden enemy.

"There's no rush for the baby," Xie Jing said, also having her own pace: "I don't want her to be born at such a dangerous time. I want to wait until everything is settled."

Zhou Jiyun held her hand: "I understand. I can't bear to have a child at this time. If something happens to us, how difficult will it be for her to live alone?"

He laughed as he spoke: "I especially like you telling me about children. It means you are planning our future."

Xie Jing's ears flushed: "Don't look at me, look at the road. I'm just saying this to follow your wishes."

She knew that this guy would not be serious for more than three seconds, and would definitely try to tease her after three seconds.

"Besides, we're still a long way off before we even think about having a baby," Xie Jing said calmly. "We need to proceed step by step. You're moving too fast."

Even though Xie Jing knew that she was Zhou Jiyun's wife in her previous life, she couldn't suddenly be honest with Zhou Jiyun. After all, in Xie Jing's opinion, she and Zhou Jiyun had only known each other for less than two months.

Zhou Jiyun didn't force her. Although his body was almost dry from thirst, his spirit was rich. Because Xie Jing didn't stay away from him because of his secret, she even softened her heart towards him.

This is a good thing.

Zhou Jiyun never believed in liking someone for no reason. He even guessed that Xie Jing liked him out of pity. But so what? Emotions just accumulated bit by bit, day by day.

As long as Xie Jing was soft-hearted towards him, he could seize this opportunity to occupy a larger position in Xie Jing's heart. He admitted that this was a bit calculated, but if it wasn't calculated, would his wife take the initiative to jump into his bowl?

What made Zhou Jiyun even happier was that Xie Jing clearly saw through his temptation, but not only did she not escape or get scared, but she acquiesced to his behavior.

This made Zhou Jiyun even happier. There was someone who accepted everything about you. Even if she knew that you were not as good as you seemed, she would still only favor you.

"Actually, if you don't have time, you can ask Aunt Li for help." Zhou Jiyun suddenly made a suggestion: "Although Aunt Li is an aunt, they also have their own small circle."

"I see that Aunt Li is very tight-lipped and likes you so much. If she knew about this, she would definitely help you."

Xie Jing hesitated. "But our situation is too dangerous. I don't want to involve Aunt Li. She's been living well on her own. What if she gets into danger if I drag her into this?"

Zhou Jiyun: "That's all I'm saying. If you're worried about Aunt Li getting into danger, then let's not talk about it. You're right, the fewer people who know about our situation, the better. Let's just wait for news from Brother Fan."

Xie Jing couldn't help but be curious: "You and Brother Fan...how did you know each other? You've never been in the military before, so how did you know Brother Fan?"

Zhou Jiyun's eyes were filled with sorrow. "Brother Fan opened a private detective agency after retiring from the army. Of course, it was a shady business. Later, his reputation got better and better. You..."

He paused and said, "I don't believe this fire was caused accidentally, but the police didn't find any more evidence and could only close the case as an accident, so I found Brother Fan."

Xie Jing parked the car and asked, "So my life story and my parents' accident were all clues that Brother Fan found?"

"Yes," Zhou Jiyun nodded: "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. It hurts here every time I talk about it."

He nodded and wanted to smoke a cigarette, but when he saw Xie Jing beside him, he put the cigarette box back.

"Smoking is harmful to your health." While waiting for the elevator, Xie Jing took out a cigarette case and lighter from his coat and waved them in front of Zhou Jiyun's eyes: "I'll confiscate them. You are not allowed to smoke in the future."

"Okay," Zhou Jiyun agreed good-temperedly. He hugged Xie Jing from behind like a big monkey, wishing every inch of his skin could fit tightly against Xie Jing's. "I just like you to control me."

"I don't usually smoke, but I just felt upset and wanted to smoke one."

Xie Jing tilted her head slightly: "Don't smoke anymore in the future. Tell me if you have any troubles. Even if I can't help you, I can still accompany you like this."

"You've been with me all this time, which is a great help." Zhou Jiyun smiled and touched his pocket. "I remember asking Special Assistant Lin to bring my car back today. There's a document left in the car. I need it for the meeting this morning. I'll go get it."

Xie Jing didn't want to move, so she waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

But after waiting for two minutes, it was Zhou Jiyun who called: "Jingjing, come over here, something happened."

Xie Jing was stunned, and heard Zhou Jiyun's seriousness: "Here I am."
