Zhou Chenyan was speechless, "How about you strangle me to death now?"
"I do."
Zhou's mother rolled her eyes at him, impatiently saying, "Stop standing here and getting in the way. Go in quickly. Your dad is waiting for you in the study."
Zhou Chenyan touched the tip of his nose and looked at me, "Ever since you came, I'm almost like someone my mom picked up from outside."
"That's because I'm sensible."
Unlike someone who only makes people angry and disobeys his parents.
Zhou Chenyan's mouth twitched, "Okay, you're the most well-behaved and sensible, okay."
He went upstairs.
Zhou's mother and I sat in the living room and chatted.
Zhou's mother first asked about my work, and then asked about my recent relationship with Zhou Chenyan. I answered honestly.
As we chatted, I calmly led the topic to the part that interested me.
"Why don't I see Gardenia?"
"Today is our family gathering. Why would we ask her to come? She will only cause trouble."
It seems that although Zhou's mother agreed to let Zhou Zhizi come back to live, it does not mean that she has no grudges in her heart.
I'm afraid this bad feeling won't go away for a while.
"After all, Gardenia grew up with her parents, and I believe you treat her as your own. If she can be more sensible, it would be best if the whole family could be reunited."
I gave him some advice.
Mother Zhou shook her head. "When this child first came to our house, she was so cautious, like a pitiful young bird. Ah Yan's father and I always wanted a daughter, but I was injured after giving birth to Ah Yan, so I have treated her like my own since she was a child."
"You and Dad are both kind people."
Mother Zhou chuckled. "What's the point of being kind? I gave her the best education and the best life, but in the end, how did she repay me?"
She got a headache when she talked about this and seemed unwilling to say more.
I asked curiously, "I remember Ayan said that you adopted Zhizi from the orphanage. Why did you choose to bring her back?"
There are so many children in the orphanage who are more well-behaved and sensible than him.
Mother Zhou looked dazed for a moment. "I don't quite understand this either. When Ah Yan's father first arrived at the orphanage, he fell in love with Zhou Zhizi. This child is also very hardworking, well-behaved and sensible, with a pair of sparkling eyes."
She gave a gentle smile.
"In fact, when she was a child, our family also had a happy and joyful time."
This means that when she grew up, she fell in love with Zhou Chenyan, which was unacceptable in the eyes of the Zhou couple.
"I believe Gardenia will figure it out."
Zhou's mother didn't take it seriously. "They've been doing that shit for years and he still hasn't figured it out. His father and I are so against it, but he still refuses to listen. I don't know when he became a different person."
A changed person...
If it were me, no matter how much I liked Zhou Chenyan, I would never ignore the kindness that the Zhou couple had shown me.
It is even more impossible to murder them.
How could Zhou Zhizi have the heart to do that?
"Mom, our company is planning a charity project recently. I have some preliminary ideas and I want to focus on the orphanage..."
Mother Zhou nodded and said, "This is a good thing, then you can go ahead and do it."
"But I need to investigate, and I'm not sure if those orphanages are really as perfect as they appear. Could you tell me which orphanage took in Gardenia? I think we can start with this orphanage, as a way of thanking them for taking in Gardenia."
Mother Zhou sighed, "If you ask me, you are just too kind, that's why you are bullied so often."
I lowered my eyes slightly. "I just wanted to do some good things within my ability. As for the rest... I didn't think much about it. Besides, Gardenia is Gardenia, and the orphanage is the orphanage."
"You always think about others. After Zhizi left the orphanage, she never went back. I didn't think much of it before, but now I think this child is a bit heartless."
I just listened to Zhou's mother's complaints.
It was not mixed in.
Who knows when their mother-daughter relationship will suddenly resurface, and if that happens, I will become Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror.
Neither inside nor outside is a good person.
In the end, Zhou's mother gave me the address.
I couldn't wait to go over there, but Zhou Chenyan and his son, who were discussing something upstairs, came down.
I could only suppress the impulse in my heart.
During dinner, Zhou's mother gave Zhou Chenyan and me a bowl of soup. I could smell its delicious flavor before I even drank it.
Zhou's mother said, "Look at you two. You must have been busy with work recently. You have lost so much weight. You should eat some more."
After we finished drinking the soup, Zhou's mother picked up a lot of dishes for us. We were not allowed to leave the table until we felt full.
At night, as expected, we were in the same room again.
The room was very large, with a small living room and bathroom. I went straight to the master bedroom. As soon as I walked in, I suddenly turned around to look at the person behind me.
"Why are you following me?"
"This is our room for the two of us." He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Of course I need to rest."
I blocked the doorway and said, "There's a sofa in the living room."
"I don't sleep on the couch."
"Then I'll sleep."
As we passed each other, he held my wrist.
I was impatient, "What on earth do you want..."
Suddenly I noticed that his expression was not right.
His skin is very white, a cool white, so it is particularly obvious when his face turns red.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Zhou Chenyan frowned, looked at me with an indescribable look, and suddenly let go of my hand.
Take a step back.
