Chapter 222 I'll Believe in You for the Last Time
His tone was cold and hard. "Even if the child was yours, she took advantage of your imprisonment to make things worse for you. Don't you have any idea about it?"
Zhong Zhiyang secretly clenched his fists. The moment he learned about this, he was heartbroken.
He took the risk for Jiang Nianyue and the child to have a good life in the future, but he didn't expect that she would bite him back when he was in the most difficult time.
Put the unfounded accusation on him.
The pain of having his true heart misplaced was like a thousand needles piercing his heart.
Pain spread throughout his body, and he even felt that his past relationship with Jiang Nianyue was a joke.
He took a deep breath and told his eldest brother his long-made decision, "Neither she nor the child has anything to do with me anymore."
Zhong Heyang patted his shoulder and said, "I'll trust you for the last time."
The Zhong family is not a sucker. Regardless of whether the child is from the Zhong family or not, they don’t want their peaceful life to be disturbed by the mother and daughter again.
What's more, all signs do not indicate that this is Zhong Zhiyang's child.
He is more like a spare tire who is forced to take over.
After returning home, Zhong Zhiyang went straight to Li Guixiang's room. Without saying a word, he knelt down in front of the bed and kowtowed three times. "Grandma, I was wrong... I failed to live up to your expectations of me. I really know I was wrong..."
Li Guixiang was lying in bed resting. When she heard his voice, she was eager to get out of bed to take a good look at her grandson, "Zhi Yang..."
Zhong Zhiyang rushed over and held her down, "Grandma, lie down and don't move."
He held grandma's hand and said in a sincere and firm voice, "I have thought a lot these days. I was a jerk in the past and made you worry about me all the time. I will never do those stupid things again. I want to start over with my feet on the ground."
Li Guixiang touched his thin cheek, "A prodigal son who returns is more valuable than gold. If you can admit your mistakes and correct them, there is still hope. How are your injuries? Let grandma see..."
Zhong Zhiyang didn't want to make his grandmother sad, so he stopped her and said, "They are just minor injuries. They are fine now."
Li Guixiang breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. As long as you are safe and sound, grandma will be relieved."
Outside the door, Zhong Xuexi poked her head out and said, "Grandma, the doctor told you to stay in bed and rest well, and not to worry too much."
After that, she walked in and grabbed Zhong Zhiyang's hand, "Get out quickly after you finish speaking and let your grandma have a good rest."
Li Guixiang was unhappy. "He finally came back. What's wrong with him talking to me?"
"You didn't sleep much last night. Now that he's back, just go to sleep. When you're well rested, you can talk to him as long as you want."
Zhong Xuexi slept in her grandmother's room last night. She was worried that if her grandmother felt uncomfortable at night, she would be the first to know.
As a result, grandma tossed and turned all night and sighed from time to time. She had to comfort her all night and her mouth was dry. It was around four in the morning when the old lady finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.
There was still a layer of dark circles under Zhong Xuexi's eyelids at this moment.
"Grandma, you should get some rest. I haven't told my sister-in-law and the others that I came back yet. Take care of yourself. I will stay by your side from now on and won't run around anymore."
Zhong Zhiyang's voice was gentle, completely different from the dandy young master he used to be.
When Li Guixiang saw her long-cherished grandson, she felt completely at ease.
With tears in her eyes, she smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, don't find me annoying when the time comes."
Zhong Zhiyang smiled and replied: "Of course not, I'm afraid grandma will dislike me for being noisy!"
After coaxing the old lady to rest, the brother and sister went out one after another.
In the yard, Lin Ziqiu and Ruan Qing were peeling peanuts, intending to make a snack for Mr. Li.
Zhong Zhiyang walked over respectfully and greeted, "Sister-in-law, Sister Qing..."
Ruan Qing raised an eyebrow, "You know what, this prison food is good for you! I've lost weight! My facial features have become more three-dimensional, just like a weight loss training camp!"
Lin Ziqiu almost burst out laughing at her words. She held back her laughter and nudged her with her elbow, "Stop teasing him."
Ruan Qing stuck out her tongue, "I think I'm right!" Zhong Xuexi gave her a thumbs up, "You're worthy of it!"
Lin Ziqiu held his forehead helplessly, paused, and said to Zhong Zhiyang: "Don't listen to them. Now that you are back, remember this lesson. In the future, you can discuss anything with your family. Don't act on your own, understand?"
Zhong Zhiyang nodded obediently, "I understand."
Lin Ziqiu asked him: "What are your plans for the future?"
Zhong Zhiyang pursed his lips and said hesitantly: "It's too difficult to find a job. I was too arrogant at the beginning. Can I trouble you..."
"How about this, I recommend you to work as a newspaper delivery boy at a newspaper office?"
It is indeed a bit too 'retired' for Zhong Zhiyang to be a security guard at such a young age. It would be better for him to deliver newspapers. He will be exposed to more people and can get a lot of the latest news and opportunities.
She can go to Boss Dong to try her luck or negotiate some business, and there shouldn't be any problem with this.
"Can I?"
Zhong Zhiyang was rarely interested in this, but he felt a little inferior in his heart, "I... I've been in jail. Will the newspaper really want someone like me?"
"You're so stupid!" Zhong Xuexi patted him on the back of his head. "You haven't been sentenced, you've just been locked up for a few days. Don't worry, Huai'an has already told his cousin about it, and this matter won't be recorded in your file."
Zhong Zhiyang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the light in his eyes finally rekindled, "Really?"
Zhong Xuexi looked at his silly look and couldn't help laughing, "Really? Why would I lie to you?"
Zhong Zhiyang was so excited that he hugged her and even spun around several times, "Second sister! Thank you so much!"
Zhong Xuexi was dizzy from being spun around by him, "Put me down now!"
Zhong Zhiyang quickly let go of her hand after hearing this and scratched his forehead embarrassedly, "I... I'm too excited, hehe, second sister, you're so nice!"
"Now you know I'm fine?" Zhong Xuexi didn't take credit for it, and said bluntly: "It's useless for you to just thank me. Go to the Zhao family later and thank Brother Huai'an."
Zhong Zhiyang was grateful, "Of course, not only my second sister's father, but also my brother Huai Nian. I will cook for them and invite them to my house for dinner!"
"Who wants to treat me to a meal?"
At this time, as soon as Cao Cao appeared, Zhao Huaian's voice came from outside the yard.
Everyone looked back, and Lin Ziqiu was the first to joke: "Your wife just mentioned you and you came. You really come as soon as you are told!"
Zhao Huaian showed surprise on his face and moved closer to Zhong Xuexi, "Wife, you missed me!"
Zhong Xuexi's cheeks flushed immediately and she pushed him away, "I didn't! Stop talking nonsense!"
