Chapter 109 A Kiss Will Make It Stop Hurting (Bonus Chapter)
Yang Fengmei washed her hands with satisfaction, carefully put away the photos, and then took out the knitted sweater, holding it up against Jiang Zhizhi.
“Perfect timing, I knitted you a V-neck sweater. I saw a female educated youth wearing a V-neck sweater the other day, with the collar of her white shirt peeking out, it looked so pretty.”
Jiang Zhizhi touched the thick sweater, feeling a little embarrassed: "Auntie, this is a gift I bought for you, but I'm the one wearing it now. I feel so bad about that."
Yang Fengmei said happily, "These nice things are meant for you young people to wear. It would be a waste for someone my age to wear them. By the way, why don't you stay for dinner tonight? I'll make you some fermented noodle soup."
Jiang Zhizhi refused: "No, he has things to do with his team. He can come another time."
Yang Fengmei was disappointed, feeling that Jiang Zhizhi and the others wouldn't come often in the future: "When Dazhuang gets married, you must come to the wedding banquet!"
Jiang Zhizhi laughed and said, "Okay, I'll definitely come then."
...
As Jiang Zhizhi left Yang Fengmei's house, she hugged her sweater and said happily to Zhou Xiye, "My aunt has been so good to me since I came here. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to establish myself here so smoothly."
She kept repeating how good Yang Fengmei had been to her.
As they passed by the river, they suddenly saw Sun Xiaoyue squatting by the river washing clothes. They immediately reached out and patted Zhou Xiye's arm: "Quick, stop the car, I have something to ask Sun Xiaoyue."
Hearing Jiang Zhizhi's excited tone, Zhou Xiye had no choice but to step on the brakes and stop.
As soon as the car came to a stop, Jiang Zhizhi rushed out impatiently.
Zhou Xiye watched as Jiang Zhizhi ran to Sun Xiaoyue's side before getting out of the car and standing by the car watching.
Seeing Jiang Zhizhi running towards her, Sun Xiaoyue immediately stood up warily and kept a distance from the water's edge to prevent her from pushing her into the water again like a madwoman.
His eyes were full of suspicion: "What are you going to do?"
Jiang Zhizhi smiled innocently: "What could I do? Aren't we sisters? I just wanted to chat with you. By the way, Sun Sanjin is here. Did you tell him I was here?"
Sun Xiaoyue said anxiously, "I didn't say that. I'm not that free."
He was also a little curious: "He's your biological father, isn't it only natural that he comes looking for you?"
Jiang Zhizhi scoffed, staring at Sun Xiaoyue: "I think it's your real father."
Sun Xiaoyue's eyes darted around in panic: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm a child of the Jiang family!"
Jiang Zhizhi waved her hand: "You don't need to shout so loudly, I can hear you. Otherwise, you're just feeling guilty. But if you tell me how Sun Sanjin got here, I'll leave immediately and won't bother you at all."
Sun Xiaoyue's voice rose several decibels: "Jiang Zhizhi, are you sick? I already said I didn't call him here, how would I know how he got here?"
Jiang Zhizhi stared at Sun Xiaoyue without saying a word, her eyes fixed on her without any emotion, making Sun Xiaoyue feel uneasy. She quickly went to pack up the basin and prepare to go back.
Jiang Zhizhi is acting like a lunatic right now; she definitely shouldn't provoke her directly.
Jiang Zhizhi stopped her, asking, "Back then, how did you and Sun Sanjin get to Beijing? Who did you meet first when you arrived?"
Sun Xiaoyue was stunned. Why would Jiang Zhizhi think of asking this?
She definitely can't tell the people who helped her.
Jiang Zhizhi had already started rolling up her sleeves: "If you don't tell me, I'll push you to the river to sober up."
Sun Xiaoyue took a step back, somewhat alarmed: "You... I didn't know. Sun Sanjin and the others took me there. How would I know?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Zhizhi rolled up her sleeves and reached out to push the person into the river.
Sun Xiaoyue struggled in the water for a while, then crawled to her feet and yelled at Jiang Zhizhi in a tearful voice, "Are you sick... Jiang Zhizhi!!"
Jiang Zhizhi pointed at her and said, "Think about it carefully. If you don't tell the truth next time, I'll push you again."
Sun Xiaoyue stomped her feet and splashed water in anger, but she couldn't do anything about Jiang Zhizhi.
Jiang Zhizhi didn't expect to get any useful information from Sun Xiaoyue, but from her flustered and guilty expression, she could tell that it was all a trap from the moment she went to Beijing to look for her relatives.
Completely ignoring the fact that Zhou Xiye could see everything clearly from the mountain ridge, she ran over happily, saying, "We can go now."
Zhou Xiye glanced at Sun Xiaoyue, who had just climbed ashore from the river, and then at Jiang Zhizhi, who looked happy. In the end, he said nothing, walked around the front of the car, and got into the driver's seat.
Jiang Zhizhi looked at Sun Xiaoyue's disheveled appearance through the car window and burst out laughing.
Then she turned to Zhou Xiye and said, "Sun Xiaoyue is probably not a daughter of the Jiang family. She may have come to impersonate my mother because someone discovered that she looks like her."
"And the person behind this must be plotting something big."
Zhou Xiye was a little surprised that Jiang Zhizhi was so quick-witted and immediately grasped the key to the problem.
He didn't start the car in a hurry, but turned to look at Jiang Zhizhi: "Then tell me, what kind of conspiracy could it be?"
Jiang Zhizhi suddenly leaned closer and blinked: "Want to hear? Then give me a kiss?"
She closed her eyes, pouted, and leaned closer.
Looking at her fair face and soft, pink lips that were close to hers, Zhou Xiye was at a loss for what to do. He reached out and poked her forehead with his index finger: "Stop being naughty, sit down properly first."
Jiang Zhizhi giggled and sat down, glancing at Zhou Xiye with a smile: "This kind of arrangement is nothing more than for power. Besides, my dad used to work at a research institute."
Zhou Xiye nodded: "That seems reasonable, but Uncle Jiang has already been demoted and has no power. Why would Sun Sanjin appear?"
Jiang Zhizhi glared at him playfully and muttered, "Why are you calling me Uncle Jiang? Call me Dad!"
Zhou Xiye was speechless again; his thoughts could never keep up with Jiang Zhizhi's erratic thinking.
Jiang Zhizhi continued, "Then it must be that the plan wasn't completed and they want to change their target. But I can't tell who they're targeting."
He sighed and said, "This matter is actually quite simple in a way. It's just some backstabbing and infighting in officialdom. In a way, it's also simple. Someone has played a game of chess, and my dad and I are the pieces on that chessboard."
She pointed at Zhou Xiye and said, "Maybe you are too..."
A quick glance revealed a flash of light in the woods a few hundred meters away.
Driven by instinct, having guessed what was going on, he lunged at Zhou Xiye even faster.
The car was cramped, and when Zhou Xiye tried to protect Jiang Zhizhi, she had already pinned him down with her body.
With a loud bang, the bullet pierced through Jiang Zhizhi's shoulder blade...
"Zhizhi!"
Zhou Xiye held Jiang Zhizhi, who was limp in his arms, and blood gushed out through his fingers.
Jiang Zhizhi twitched the corner of her mouth, thinking to herself, "Damn, this hurts so much."
But she still forced a smile at Zhou Xiye: "It's okay, a kiss from you will make me feel better..."
