When Zhou Musheng returned, he felt a tightness in his chest, and the thought of Xiaohua spending almost every day and night with her ex-husband made it even harder for him to calm down.
He couldn't understand why they were still so close after their divorce. He and his ex-wife had practically never spoken to each other since their divorce.
He kept waiting for Xiaohua to come to him, but Xiaohua never came.
After his anger subsided, he still took the initiative to find Xiaohua, bringing with him a check for two million yuan.
However, he was clearly too late; Xiaohua had already solved all the problems.
His two million seems particularly ironic.
When Zhou Musheng pushed the check in front of Xiaohua, Xiaohua looked at the check in front of her.
He had mixed feelings, and he felt that it would have been better if he hadn't taken out the money during their meeting, as that would have saved face for both of them.
She still needs money. After all, He Yu's money was borrowed from someone else, but she's not in a hurry to pay it back. He Yu said she's not in a rush to pay it back in two or three years.
Since the school doesn't have any extra money in its accounts, if something happens in the future, the school still won't have the money in its accounts and will still have to borrow from others, so it still won't have any ability to withstand risks.
So Xiaohua and Heyu plan to open about ten more classes and collect more tuition fees. Opening new classes and buying desks, chairs and other miscellaneous things also requires money.
This time, however, she didn't want to rely on Zhou Musheng anymore. She had relied on Zhou Musheng too much, so when things happened, she had no ability to withstand the risks.
She needed the money, but it didn't appear when she needed it most.
He refused to do the favor that was meant to help him in his time of need.
“Mr. Zhou, I won’t take the money. The main problem has been solved, and I can handle the minor issues myself. Money is a bit tight, but we can manage.”
She was just telling the truth.
Zhou Musheng's expression changed slightly.
"Xiaohua, are you getting distant with me?"
Xiao Hua quickly shook her head: "No, no, I will never forget Mr. Zhou's great kindness to me. It's just that I feel that if I rely on one person too much, my own abilities will become less and less. I want to build a big company, and I can't indulge myself like this."
She explained.
“I told you that you can always rely on me, and that’s true. Do you not trust me anymore? Or are you blaming me? It’s just because I didn’t see you then; I was held up by something urgent.”
Xiaohua shook her head again.
She quickly explained, "Really, no, I didn't think that way. I believe Mr. Zhou must have had other more important things to do at the time. I understand, and I didn't mean to blame you."
What's so important that she doesn't even have time to listen to her assistant? Does she not even have time to ask her assistant to get some money from finance?
Xiaohua understood everything and knew everything. She didn't resent him or blame him because she had no right to, and simply had no right to!
What she meant was, "How could I possibly blame you? Helping me was a favor, not helping me was my right. You did nothing wrong."
Why should I be so shameless? It's just that because of this incident, their relationship is somewhat different from what it used to be.
"Xiaohua, why don't you ask me why I didn't see you back then?"
Zhou Musheng couldn't hold back any longer and took the initiative to expose the slightly insincere pleasantries between the two.
Xiaohua's fingers were turning white as she gripped the coffee cup, showing how hard she was using her strength.
Taking a deep breath, she said, "Mr. Zhou is the owner of a large company and has very important things to do every day. If he can't see me, it must be something very important. I understand."
"Enough! Stop being so hypocritical!"
Zhou Musheng suddenly rebuked him in a low voice.
Xiaohua was a little frightened and looked at Zhou Musheng with a terrified look. She had never seen Zhou Musheng like this before.
"I'm not seeing you not because I have important business, but because I don't want to see you. Nothing is more important to me than your business, Ye Xiaohua."
He was angry, his face cold.
Xiao Hua wondered, if he said that nothing was more important to him than her, then why didn't he want to see her?
She might be a little foolish; she simply couldn't understand it.
"Keep asking me why I don't want to see you?" Zhou Musheng said forcefully.
He changed his usual gentle and refined demeanor.
Xiao Hua was genuinely startled; this side of Zhou Musheng truly frightened her.
"Speak up!" Zhou Musheng shouted angrily, slamming his fist on the table.
Xiaohua trembled slightly from fright.
She took a deep breath and faced him directly: "Mr. Zhou, please speak frankly. Forgive my ignorance, but I really can't figure out why you're so angry."
Asking directly left Zhou Musheng speechless once again.
How should he explain why he was so angry? Because he was extremely jealous.
Jealous to the point of losing my mind!
After calming down for a while, Zhou Musheng reached out and grasped Xiaohua's small hand, which was resting on the clumsy surface.
Xiao Hua's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively tried to break free, but Zhou Musheng held on tightly.
She couldn't break free.
"Little Flower, do you understand what I mean?"
Xiaohua is stupid. But even after he's done this, she still doesn't understand.
"But...didn't Mr. Zhou have no interest in me?"
She was completely confused. She had confessed her feelings before, albeit in a half-joking manner, but he had rejected her, also in a half-joking manner.
So what is his intention in doing this now?
Are you just teasing her?
She's not a three-year-old child, nor is she a kitten or puppy that can be summoned and dismissed at will!
"At that time, I hadn't thought it through. I'm the kind of person who, once I've made a decision, won't change it and will take full responsibility."
Zhou Musheng spoke with some awkwardness and a hint of guilt.
“I’ve been thinking about our relationship for a while now.”
After Zhou Musheng finished speaking, he gently rubbed the back of Xiaohua's hand with the pads of his fingers!
However, this made Xiaohua even more puzzled. If he had feelings for her and she had feelings for him, why didn't he see her back then, and why was he angry with her?
She really couldn't understand it.
Xiaohua thought and thought, could it be that she didn't agree to learn with him on Valentine's Day, and he saw her having dinner and watching a movie with her child and ex-husband, so he was angry?
Just for this?
Xiao Hua didn't think this was something Zhou Musheng would be angry about!
Zhou Musheng had always given her the impression of being a very magnanimous person.
I am not a narrow-minded person.
"Do you still stand by what you said before?"
Zhou Musheng held her hand tightly.
Xiaohua was conflicted. First, she did have feelings for him; second, she didn't want to rely on him too much and wanted to become stronger.
Third, she has lost interest in romantic relationships and wants to focus on her career.
After this experience, she finally understood that relying on others would ultimately lead to destruction, while relying on oneself would bring eternal life.
