Chapter 345 is the beginning of heartbeat

...

Many years passed, and Zhou Zongzheng no longer cared how much time had passed.

He had already withdrawn the spies who were stationed around Xie Shiyuan, and also removed the bodyguards.

It was that time when he secretly went to Country K and saw that scene when he stood in front of the window. He suddenly understood why Xie Shiyuan was so persistent in choosing Bai Jiashu.

Lovers will eventually get married.

He finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

For a long time afterwards, he focused on his work. The Zhou Group has always been at the top of the world. No one can threaten him anymore, and no one can compete with him. He has become a guest of honor in various countries, and he controls the politics of various countries and the world's economy behind the scenes.

He always takes pleasure in controlling everyone's destiny, as if he is rich enough and powerful enough just to control everyone's destiny.

Even the former cabinet minister, such an arrogant man, was eventually forced to hang himself at home because of the scandal.

Along the way, Zhou Zongzhen eliminated all his opponents and enemies. No one could anymore target his weaknesses and use them to control him.

He finally became the most terrifying and feared existence.

This year, Zhou Zongzhen was already 47 years old.

Reporters called him the youngest world figure, but also the loneliest.

He has not married yet and is still single, without even a female companion.

His love life and scandals formed the most extreme contrast with his dirty and bloody hands.

A reporter once plucked up the courage to ask him whether he had ever had a crush on someone and whether he considered marriage and having children.

For a moment, Zhou Zongzheng considered answering this question, but when the words he wanted to say came to his lips, they ended up as a sneer.

There is no one I like.

There is one girl who is given special care.

After so many years, she should no longer be called a girl, and that winter, he gave her freedom.

From then on, he never asked about her whereabouts again.

Even if Xie Tingke occasionally mentioned this person, he would deliberately avoid talking about her.

He didn't want to know any news about her since she was an irrelevant person to him.

The fact that he and she met was itself an outrageous thing.

After several decades, the girl's voice, appearance and smile have gradually faded with time. How could he care about a woman who has nothing to do with him?

On this day, Zhou Zongzhen attended social events as usual, and the guests were all dignitaries from various countries.

One of the middle-aged men was followed by a female translator who had a pure and beautiful appearance, especially her eyes, which were extremely smart, with the corners of her eyes raised upwards, just like a cunning fox.

The female translator was very good at speaking and was proficient in various languages. It was originally a solemn dinner, but after she said a few words at the beginning, the scene immediately became relaxed and harmonious.

The middle-aged man saw Zhou Zongzheng looking at the female translator for a few more times, so he smiled and said, "I recruited her from the Foreign Languages ​​College as an exception. She is very capable and smart. She will be amazing in the future."

Zhou Zongzheng didn't say anything, just stared into the female translator's eyes.

These extremely smart fox eyes seemed to evoke the shadow of someone deep in one's memory.

"Mr. Zhou, you have come from afar. How about I lend Xiaoyu to you for a few days and let her take you around the local area?" The middle-aged man was very considerate. Everyone knows how to lend flowers to offer to Buddha.

"No need." Zhou Zongzheng shook his head.

"Did I do something wrong to make Mr. Zhou unhappy?" Upon hearing this, the female translator's bright eyes dimmed a lot, as if she had just been talking and actively performing just to get a look from the man.

"I don't need a female companion." Zhou Zongzhen said coldly. Over the years, the news about him and Xie Shiyuan had leaked out. In fact, there was nothing between them.

That is to imprison Xie Shiyuan for a while and then set her free.

But these people got Xie Shiyuan's photos through various means, and they liked to deliberately select people who looked similar to Xie Shiyuan on certain special occasions.

And those people who are similar to Xie Shiyuan always get his attention. Even a glance will make these powerful people excited, thinking that there is a chance and they can place spies through a woman.

What a smart guy.

He and Xie Shiyuan have not yet developed into a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship...Why do they think that a woman who looks similar to Xie Shiyuan can win his favor and be married to him?

Are you playing the role of Bai Yueguang's stand-in?

Zhou Zongzhen was not interested in this.

Many years passed, and Zhou Zongzhen still hadn't married. His former subordinates all had grandchildren, but he was still single.

In this life, he has no youth and has never loved anyone.

But once upon a time, there was someone who was almost making my heart beat.

Zhou Zongzheng finally admitted his thoughts when he was young.

This is because Xie Tingke sent him a letter.

Inside the envelope was a simple photo.

A family photo of three.

A beautiful wife, a gentle husband, and their lovely daughter.

The photo has yellowed.

I guess Xie Tingke must have kept it for a long time before he was willing to share it with him when he was old.

This photo was taken the second year after he left Northern Xinjiang.

That year, Xie Shiyuan gained his freedom and left the border town with Bai Jiashu.

Soon, she became pregnant.

She gave birth to a girl who looked very much like her, no, it was a little fox.

The curved fox eyes, the high nose bridge, and the palm-sized face are exactly like Xie Shiyuan.

The little girl is wearing a headband on her head. If you don’t look carefully, you would think it is a pair of fox ears, pointed and furry, growing on her head.

Bai Jiashu is the happiest man in the world.

He had a dark childhood and a miserable first half of his life. He lost his loved ones, was abandoned by his family, and almost lost his life.

However, he met the best person in the world, Xie Shiyuan, who never left him.

Then, there is one more relative in this world...

Zhou Zongzhen secretly thought that although he had obtained supreme power and unlimited wealth, he had become the loneliest person in this huge castle.

He wanted to laugh at himself and took out a jade pendant from his pocket.

Over the years, he never took off the jade pendant. He didn't know whether he was missing his deceased mother or the girl who married someone else... But he suppressed these feelings so deeply that he didn't dare let anyone find out.

He is a complicated person. He dares not love, does not have the courage to love, and is not qualified to accept love.

Because of his past experiences, he cannot trust anyone in his life, so how can he believe in illusory love?

so.....

So...he looked at the yellowed family photo, and those words echoed in his ears again, as if the girl had already told him the predetermined ending.

——Some things need time to settle, and the development of some things will only be completed at a certain moment after many years.

closed loop.....

It turns out to be love.

After many, many years, those memories that he could not erase were the beginning of his heartbeat...
