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, ...
The two were chatting intimately when Zhou Jiyun's phone rang. When he saw the caller's name, his expression became serious: "Brother Fan, what's the news from you?"
Zhang Yifan flipped through the documents in his hand. "There's been no substantial progress, but I have some news. It's said that Xie Xuerong filed for divorce 24 years ago."
"It even got to the point of going to court, but strangely, less than a month after submitting the application, Xie Xuerong withdrew it. Since then, there have been no more legal documents involving Xie Xuerong and Liu Limin."
Zhou Jiyun remained relaxed. "When is the deadline for withdrawing this application?"
"What a coincidence! It happened the day after Liu Limin found out she was pregnant." Zhang Yifan smiled. "What's particularly strange is that the hospital records for Liu Limin's first birth don't exist at all. And the hospital where Xie Jing was born later moved to a new building, and a lot of the information was lost."
"It's very difficult to find out the background of my brother and sister-in-law."
After hearing this, Xie Jing thought for a moment and said, "If it's really difficult, then..."
Zhou Jiyun began to use his money ability: "I'll add money."
This is what Zhang Yifan wanted: "Okay, no matter how difficult it is, I will find out. My sister-in-law is not something that just appeared out of thin air."
Xie Jing: She is indeed too young.
Before hanging up, Zhang Yifan said, "I heard that the old lady of the Liu family is going to hold a party for her 80th birthday this Saturday. I think we should start with the Liu family."
Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun both understood what he meant. Zhou Jiyun said softly, "Then let's go to the Liu family this week. Whether we gain anything or not, we'll keep in touch at any time."
Zhang Yifan whistled: "Okay, we'll keep you posted."
Xie Jing relaxed in Zhou Jiyun's arms: "Actually... whether or not to find my biological parents doesn't seem to be that important. I feel uncomfortable getting along with a strange couple now."
Zhou Jiyun played with her fingers: "Jingjing, I completely respect your idea. But what if? What if your parents have been looking for you all these years?"
"Xie Xuerong and Liu Limin are just small individuals among countless pairs of parents. They cannot replace all parents."
Xie Jing sighed: "I'm a little worried. I'm worried that they might have a new child. I'm also worried about their character. I'm afraid that they might not be..."
Zhou Jiyun understood what she meant. He thought for a moment and said, "That's why we have to look for it quietly. Jingjing, wouldn't you rather know the answer clearly than live your life in confusion?"
"If your biological parents weren't like Xie Xuerong and Liu Limin, you would have two more people who loved you, and you would have a loving parent like everyone else."
Xie Jing lowered her eyes. "I know you want to comfort me, but we've been apart for too long. We've never been together, we don't understand each other, and we don't even know if they're still around...all of this is still unknown."
Zhou Jiyun: "If they are good people, I naturally hope you will recognize them. If they are not good, we can't be disappointed, right? Because there is no love between us."
Xie Jing: "That's true, but when I think about this, I can't help but have some expectations. You know, once you start to have expectations, disappointment is not far away."
Zhou Jiyun knew Xie Jing was a complete pessimist: "I know, so we won't mention them in the future. We'll just quietly wait for the results from Brother Fan's side. If we don't mention them, think about them, or worry about them, then even if we're disappointed in the future, there won't be that many."
Xie Jing seemed to be persuaded by Zhou Jiyun. She thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Then let's do as you say. Do we really have to go to the Liu family on Friday? We've already torn our relationship apart on the day we return home."
Zhou Jiyun was very calm: "It's just a pretense. If we go to the Liu family, can they really kick us out?"
Xie Jing smiled: "Yes, you are not Mr. Zhou anymore, you are Mr. Zhou. The Liu family will naturally rely on you."
Zhou Jiyun smiled: "But Mr. Zhou listens to you. If someone makes my wife unhappy, it will be useless for him to flatter them."
As he spoke, he rubbed Xie Jing's cheek affectionately, but Xie Jing suddenly turned her head away, and Zhou Jiyun's lips gently brushed the corner of Xie Jing's lips. Xie Jing's face flushed instantly, and she frantically tried to get up and run away.
Unfortunately, there was only a small place squatting in front, and the rest of the place was firmly occupied by Zhou Jiyun, so she had almost nowhere to escape.
According to her experience, once you kiss someone once, it becomes a daily routine. Just like kissing someone once in a while before, now it becomes a daily routine.
But how could Zhou Jiyun, who had rarely received such a benefit, let go of this opportunity? He held Xie Jing's waist tightly, refusing to let go. Xie Jing tried to pry Zhou Jiyun's wrist, "Let go."
"Don't let go." Zhou Jiyun would be a fool to let go at this time. Instead, he put his left hand around Xie Jing's knee and picked her up like a princess. The next second, Xie Jing was placed on the sofa by him, and Zhou Jiyun's upper body pressed down on her.
Xie Jing subconsciously turned her head, and Zhou Jiyun's kiss landed on her cheek. Zhou Jiyun chuckled twice, but his right hand cupped the back of Xie Jing's head, forcing her to look him in the eye.
Xie Jing tried hard not to show her fear: "You...you let me go."
Zhou Jiyun would never let her go: "Jingjing, how long have we been married?"
Xie Jing thought for a moment and said, "It's been almost two months. I didn't remember it specifically."
Zhou Jiyun chuckled: "It was fifty-six days. Except for the third day after our wedding when I was away on business for ten days, we were basically inseparable for the remaining forty-six days. Haven't you adapted to it yet?"
"I know that for you, this is just over a month. But for me, this period of time is too long. We were so close...but now we can only..."
He said, clasping Xie Jing's wrist tightly: "I'm too greedy."
Xie Jing was silent. She knew that Zhou Jiyun was good at playing the victim, but she just fell for it.
The long silence made Zhou Jiyun feel a little flustered: "Jingjing, are you angry? I won't talk about this anymore."
Xie Jing suddenly sighed. She wanted to move her arms, but both of them were restrained by Zhou Jiyun. Xie Jing could only raise her upper body and gently kissed Zhou Jiyun on the lips while he looked at her in disbelief.
It's a pity that she is not very active. After just a kiss, she fell on the sofa with a thud. After all, her core strength is really not good enough.
Zhou Jiyun wanted to continue the kiss, but Xie Jing glared at him: "Don't push it any further."
Zhou Jiyun smiled: "Okay, don't push your luck."
