The Whole Family Was Sent Down to the Countryside, She Emptied the Family Fortune and Followed Them

Zhu Qinghao died, drowned in a urine bucket by her scumbag husband. With no one to collect her body, she became a wandering ghost.

During her time as a ghost, she witnessed her family members...

Chapter 159 A Belated Embrace (1/2)

Upon realizing this possibility, the two grown men instantly and tacitly softened all their movements, barely daring to breathe.

After a while, Zhu Qingyun finally noticed the two men standing there, barely daring to breathe.

Moreover, after she glanced at them several times, the two people didn't notice at all, and just stared at each other, seemingly lost in thought.

"What are you two doing? You've been standing there without making a sound since you got back. What happened?"

Zhu Yanzhi coughed lightly, glanced at Zhao Cheng, signaling him to take the lead, while he himself remained silent.

Zhao Cheng didn't dare to ask the two of them in front of everyone if they had quarreled, nor could he not answer, so he stammered:

"Cough, we're fine, we're fine."

Zhu Qingyun frowned, not believing this explanation at all.

Zhenzhu also noticed that something was wrong between the two of them, and looked into her man's eyes with an unyielding gaze.

"Yanzhi, tell me, what's wrong between you two?"

Zhu Yanzhi carefully observed his wife and sister, and after thinking for a moment, he finally spoke up.

“Ah Zhu, we’re really fine. We didn’t say anything because when we came back we noticed the atmosphere here was a bit off, and both of them looked unwell…”

Zhu Qingyun immediately realized the problem and hurriedly asked:

"So you all thought my sister-in-law and I had a fight?"

Zhao Cheng was taken aback and looked at his wife, who had a smile on her face.

"Isn't that so?"

Zhu Qingyun chuckled and poked Zhao Cheng's head with her slender white fingers.

"You know, if you encounter something you don't understand, just ask. If you're not smart enough, don't make wild guesses."

In all these years, when have my sister-in-law and I ever had a serious argument? Do you two not trust me or her? How stupid…”

Only then did Zhao Cheng and Zhu Yanzhi realize that they had misunderstood each other, and their expressions became somewhat unnatural.

"Uh, well, it's not that I don't believe you..."

Zhao Cheng wanted to offer a few words of explanation, but he didn't know how to say it, and could only secretly regret that he had overthought things.

The people present, including Zhu Qingyun, found Zhao Cheng's scratching and rubbing appearance somewhat amusing.

Zhao Cheng is capable of handling any situation with ease, including his time in politics, where few people have ever seen him looking overwhelmed.

Only in front of Zhu Qingyun does he easily become like a helpless child, sweating profusely at the drop of a hat.

Moreover, this special relationship didn't begin after they got married; it had been like this since they were children.

Over the years, nothing has changed. They're almost grandparents now, and they're still the same.

Zhen Zhu and Zhu Yanzhi smiled at each other, then left the house hand in hand, leaving the couple alone.

After her brother and sister-in-law left, Zhu Qingyun couldn't help but laugh and throw herself into Zhao Cheng's arms.

Zhao Cheng knew they were laughing at him again, so he gently hugged the person in his arms and stroked her hair with utmost tenderness.

Not to mention others, even he himself was smiling helplessly.

He didn't know why, but he seemed to be born afraid of displeasing Zhu Qingyun. In front of Zhu Qingyun, he could never be confident and assertive.

Zhu Qingyun laughed for a long time, but then something seemed off, and she gradually became unusually quiet.
