Chapter 511 Husband and Wife United
Zhou Xiye braced his foot against the door: "Zhizhi, let me explain first."
Jiang Zhizhi sneered: "What's there to explain? Keep lying to me, Zhou Xiye. You've gotten so bold now, you actually lied to me!"
Zhou Xiye pushed the door open, looking pitiful: "I really didn't mean to. Please open the door first, otherwise it will disturb Mom and Aunt."
Jiang Zhizhi snorted, but still took a step back to let Zhou Xiye in.
After Zhou Xiye entered the room, he first put down the pillows and blankets, then quickly came over to close the door, and pulled the sulking Jiang Zhizhi to sit down on the bed.
"I didn't mean to hide this from you, I just didn't want to be distracted if you found out."
Jiang Zhizhi turned her body around, her back to Zhou Xiye, refusing to look at him or listen to him speak.
Zhou Xiye shifted his position, pressed on Jiang Zhizhi's shoulder, and made her look at him: "I met someone a while ago, Qin Hongmei, she used to be in the cultural troupe..."
Jiang Zhizhi glared at him: "Wow! Zhou Xiye, you actually know a girl from the performing arts troupe? What, she's really pretty, so you went on the date? I remember, the phone call I made to your house before, it was a woman. You said she was a colleague, is she also that girl from the performing arts troupe?"
"It seems you've lied to people more than once or twice..."
Zhou Xiye paused for a moment, feeling that the more he tried to explain, the less clear it became: "No, it's because she told me some things, and I need to investigate them."
Jiang Zhizhi snorted coldly: "What could she possibly have done, being from a performing arts troupe? Men's excuses are really something else. Alright, you don't need to explain anymore."
"After being married for a long time, things lose their novelty. Besides, the grass is always greener on the other side."
"If it were something perfectly legitimate, would you need to be so secretive? You could even have a date while you were picking me up. You're truly a master of time management..."
Zhou Xiye was already no match for Jiang Zhizhi, and now, after being bombarded with her barrage of words, he was at a loss for words to explain himself.
But he knew that if he didn't explain things clearly today, Jiang Zhizhi would never believe him again.
She quickly said, "It's not what you think. Qin Hongmei told me that you are not the original Jiang Zhizhi. Your soul belongs to another world. You used to be a very powerful warrior."
"In the end, because of money and profit, he betrayed his comrades and caused the death of his entire team..."
Jiang Zhizhi's eyes widened, somewhat shocked, but even more so angry. How could she be a traitor?
Also, how did such a thing get out?
Zhou Xiye reached out and grasped Jiang Zhizhi's shoulder: "I didn't tell you this not because I believed what they said about you being a traitor, but because I believed that you were truly a warrior."
“I don’t know what happened in between, but I want to find out who spread the rumors.”
Jiang Zhizhi stared at Zhou Xiye without saying a word.
She was beyond shocked; how could anyone be so brainless as to spread such a rumor?
Is it Chu Fenghe?
Zhou Xiye looked at Jiang Zhizhi, who was not responding, and felt a little helpless. He called out cautiously, "Zhizhi? Zhizhi?"
Jiang Zhizhi snapped out of her daze, gritting her teeth; "This is utter nonsense! Why didn't you tell me? Take me to find that Qin Hongmei, I want to confront her."
Zhou Xiye quickly tried to dissuade her: "Qin Hongmei said she was just helping to pass on a message. She also said that the person would be coming to Beijing soon and asked me out a few times, but the person always stood me up."
He frowned as he spoke, "I'm not willing to give up. I want to resolve this before I go to work, so you won't be distracted by it."
Jiang Zhizhi reached out and pinched Zhou Xiye's cheek, somewhat annoyed by his lack of self-control: "You...aren't you trying to take this opportunity to go out and date Qin Hongmei? Do you think that after she does this again and again, you two will end up alone together?"
Zhou Xiye quickly explained, "I didn't say much to her; I was just waiting for someone in the teahouse."
Jiang Zhizhi snorted coldly: "Outsiders don't think that way. Someone as smart as you would make such a foolish mistake! You must want to meet with that Qin Hongmei."
"After all, she's from a performing arts troupe, so she must be very good-looking."
Zhou Xiye couldn't explain it clearly; when he first heard about it, he was shocked and disbelieving.
Later, I remembered all the unusual things about Jiang Zhizhi, including the training programs she knew.
After some initial skepticism, I considered asking Jiang Zhizhi, but I was more inclined to deal with the person who spread the rumors first.
I don't want such a shady person to plot against Jiang Zhizhi behind her back.
Jiang Zhizhi was no longer angry and could understand why Zhou Xiye had kept it from her.
If it were her, she might also have kept it from Zhou Xiye and investigated the truth of the matter first.
He resolved it in secret and then kept it buried in his heart for the rest of his life.
Zhou Xiye, fearing that Jiang Zhizhi was still angry, continued to explain, "I really didn't want to see Qin Hongmei; I just wanted to catch the person behind me."
Jiang Zhizhi frowned and pressed Zhou Xiye's arm: "Why don't you suspect Qin Hongmei's purpose? Have you ever suspected that her purpose is to get close to you?"
Zhou Xiye shook his head: "I did suspect her at first, but through her narration, I can conclude that there is someone behind her, and this person deliberately distorted the facts in order to sow discord between you and me."
"Think about it, if you told someone about something so absurd, they would definitely think you're crazy. How could such an absurd thing happen?"
Jiang Zhizhi was also unsure, since Zhou Xiye had already heard about and analyzed her bizarre experiences.
She didn't hide anything and nudged Zhou Xiye's shoulder: "Go get me a glass of water."
Zhou Xiye obediently went out to pour a glass of warm water and returned to hand it to Jiang Zhizhi: "I have to go to work soon. If Qin Hongmei asks me out again, I'll take you with me."
Jiang Zhizhi waved her hand with a mischievous smile: "No need. You go yourself, acting like I don't know anything. Let's see what they're really thinking."
As she spoke, she pulled Zhou Xiye to sit down and briefly recounted her experiences, observing Zhou Xiye's expression as she spoke.
Zhou Xiye's expression didn't change much, but he showed a little anger when talking about being betrayed and the complete annihilation of his army.
His identity and responsibilities made him hate those who betrayed their comrades and their country even more.
After Jiang Zhizhi finished speaking, she took a sip of water: "The reason I hate Chu Fenghe is because he looks exactly like the commander who betrayed us, and even his way of doing things is the same."
"It's just that the name is different, which makes me wonder if he was also from another time?"
"If he is from another time, my appearance and name haven't changed, so it would be easy for him to target me."
Zhou Xiye was somewhat surprised: "Chu Fenghe?"
Jiang Zhizhi nodded, then suddenly became excited: "If it's him, that's great! Perfect, he can avenge me and my teammates!"
In this way, there will be no regrets!
