Chapter 113 Your Colleague
Lin Mei felt Zhang Hanzhou's resistance to her, and was afraid that he would hang up the phone the next second, so she quickly explained: "No, I don't need you to do anything. I have something important to tell you. Can you go to a place where there is no one?"
Zhang Hanzhou frowned deeply, "Just tell me directly, there's no one around me."
Lin Mei lowered her voice and said in a negotiating tone: "Hanzhou, your father... Zhang Guangzhi already knows that you are not his biological child."
"What?"
Zhang Hanzhou's heartbeat suddenly quickened.
Lin Mei briefly recounted what happened when she met Zhang Guangzhi that day, and emphasized that Zhang Guangzhi wanted to kill her. She hoped that Zhang Hanzhou would stay away from Zhang Guangzhi and never touch Zhang Guangzhi's reverse scale.
But Zhang Hanzhou calmed down after hearing this. He sneered, "If you want to make up a story, at least make it decent. Do you think I will believe it?"
"Everything I said is true. I am your biological mother. Wasn't everything I did over the years for you? Think about it carefully, how could I harm you?" Lin Mei said anxiously.
Zhang Hanzhou was embarrassed to make others wait for him too long, so he said impatiently: "Okay, since there is nothing else, I will hang up."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Lin Mei's response.
Zhang Hanzhou looked at the call records on the mobile phone screen, pondered for a moment, and then he sneered.
It was too untrue. How could such a thing as murder happen in a society ruled by law? And if his father knew all this from the beginning, why would he raise him as his own son, or even train him to be his successor?
This is probably another new trick that Lin Mei came up with.
She probably regretted it and wanted to scare him so that he would leave the Zhang family and come back to her.
But that's impossible.
Inside the sanatorium, two people squatting at the door chewing bread looked inside blankly.
"She seems to be going crazy again." The young man said, "How many times has this happened?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and lost count. He felt that he should not be taken to a sanatorium but to a mental hospital.
They both really regretted meddling in other people's affairs now.
Young man: "Do you think this is illegal detention?"
"It's nothing to do with her. We are just watching her movements from outside. We won't stop her from walking around if she wants to. She just doesn't dare to go out."
There was a sound of something falling in the room, and two staff members on duty pushed the door open and rushed in.
Lin Mei smashed everything she could get her hands on.
It has been almost twenty years, and she has always thought that she had done everything perfectly and fooled everyone, but now it seems that she has fallen into a trap set by Zhang Guangzhi.
Zhang Hanzhou's distrust became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Now that he thinks about it, Zhang Guangzhi must have been pretending to be stupid before, thinking that he would push her out to take the blame if the truth came out. Now that she knows the secret, he wants to kill her to silence her.
The staff on duty stepped forward and stopped Lin Mei from continuing to smash things in the room.
The young man squatting outside the door took out his cell phone and opened his calculator. "Several hundred dollars have been lost. Do you think we have to pay for it ourselves?"
The middle-aged man sighed, "Otherwise, the boss didn't ask us to save her."
After venting, Lin Mei's chest heaved violently.
The staff on duty warned her that she would be kicked out if she smashed things again, and Lin Mei gradually calmed down.
She sat back on the sofa and suddenly thought of something.
Since Zhang Guangzhi already knew that she had swapped the baby, did Zhang Mian, who has been married to him for so many years, also know about it?
Then what was the reason why Zhang Wan didn’t say anything... Was it the same as Zhang Guangzhi, or had she seen through Zhang Guangzhi a long time ago and was doing it on purpose?
Lin Mei was almost choking on her breath, she covered her chest tightly, and not eating or drinking made her lips as pale as her face.

Ji Zhou looked at the ring on Yu Chucheng's hand for the nth time, his eyes scanning Yu Chucheng's body.
Yu Chucheng was clearly in his own home, but he felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at by him. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore, "Tsk, have you seen enough? Have you not seen me or have you not seen the ring?"
Ji Zhou tentatively pointed at the book next to Yu Chucheng with his pen, "Is this a gift from Duan Huaijin?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Ji Zhou took out his phone and quietly took a picture, then searched the price online. "Fuck, tens of thousands of dollars."
Although this amount is not even a fraction of Yu Chucheng's pocket money, it is still a considerable sum for ordinary students like them.
Yu Chucheng didn't expect that when he pulled Ji Zhou's phone over, he found it was the most expensive one of this brand.
Yu Chucheng was silent for a moment, then took off the ring.
"What are you doing?" Ji Zhou looked at him curiously as he walked towards the bedroom.
Yu Chucheng took out a necklace he had bought a long time ago from his drawer. He took off the pendant in the middle and then put the ring on it. "It's easy to lose it if you wear it on your hand."
Ji Zhou: “…”
Brother! You threw away a ring worth three hundred thousand yuan before, but now you are afraid of losing a ring worth tens of thousands of yuan? Isn't this a bit too hypocritical?
Ji Zhou pushed his homework book forward and said, "You can get married when you are 20 years old now. Don't tell me that I will be attending your wedding with Duan Huaijin next year. I don't have the money to give as a gift."
"What are you thinking about? Not so fast." Yu Chucheng hung the necklace around his neck, but he had to pull open the collar of the high-necked long-sleeved sweater he was wearing to put it in.
Ji Zhou accidentally glanced at the marks on Yu Chucheng's neck and suddenly felt that Yu Chucheng's words were unconvincing.
The moment the ring touched his chest, the cold touch made Yu Chucheng shudder.
Ji Zhou changed the subject abruptly, "Hey, have you received the notice for our high school's 90th anniversary celebration next week?"
"I got it, but I'm not going."
"No." Ji Zhou said with a bitter face, "I'll be so bored if you don't go. There will be a cultural performance, let's go and see it together. Maybe we can meet classmates who used to play games with us, and we can go to the Internet cafe together to play games in the evening."
In fact, the main reason why Yu Chucheng didn’t want to go was that the last two years of high school could be considered his dark history.
Almost everyone in the grade knew that he was Hao Jia's bootlicker.
Although everyone was polite to him on the surface, he knew that many people were laughing at him behind his back.
Ji Zhou tried hard to persuade him, saying that he missed the spicy hot pot at the back door of the school, and then he missed the days when he and Yu Chucheng stood outside the corridor as punishment. He wanted to recall the good times and use this to motivate himself to work hard to get 60 points in the final exam.
Yu Chucheng's ears were filled with Ji Zhou's mosquito-like buzzing, which made him uneasy. Thinking that what Ji Zhou said made sense, he reluctantly agreed to go with him.
But they all forgot one thing...
On Friday, the auditorium of Kyoto Daini High School was packed.
Yu Chucheng and Ji Zhou arrived a little late and it took them a long time to find their class in the crowd.
After a few months, many people in the class have changed.
Yu Chucheng had a scarf around his neck and followed Ji Zhou with his hands in his pockets.
Sitting next to Hao Jia were several of his good friends, one of whom was a boy from the next class.
A few people were talking and laughing, when suddenly someone reminded them, "Yu Chucheng is here."
The boy immediately looked up, and his face darkened the moment he met Yu Chucheng's eyes.
Yu Chucheng asked Ji Zhou in a low voice, "Why is he so hostile to me? Do I know him?"
Ji Zhou: "He was your former colleague."
"What's the meaning?"
"He was one of Hao Jia's many suitors, and he was the one who licked her the most. Your appearance blinded everyone's eyes and pushed him away."
“…”
