Chapter 205 "If you've been with me long enough, can you please accompany me too?"
Lin Shuang raised her head in surprise and looked at the man at the door.
She said doubtfully, "Mr. Xie...is it Xie Siyan?"
She vaguely recalled that she had received a phone call last night while half asleep and half awake. It turned out that the call was not a dream—someone really had called and told her to hold on a little longer.
The security guard lowered his voice and urged, "Ms. Lin, please follow me immediately. The people arranged by Master Zheng downstairs have been temporarily diverted. I will take you out now."
Lin Shuang turned around, hesitated for a moment, quickly grabbed her phone from the table, held it tightly in her hand, and then turned back to nod at the man:
"let's go."
——
The next day, before China Construction Group held a press conference to announce its response plan to Xie Siyan's love affair, a press conference regarding the "Zheng Pingzhou illegal imprisonment incident" was held first.
At the press conference, the heroine Lin Shuang raised her hand to show the scars on her body.
Countless spotlights focused instantly.
She looked calm and slowly recounted the story of how she was imprisoned by Zheng Pingzhou.
The flash lights at the scene kept flashing. No one expected that less than a week after Zheng Pingzhou's scandal subsided, such a horrifying incident would break out again.
Lin Shuang spoke in a calm tone throughout, and she carefully recalled her childhood memories with Fang Hui and how she met Zheng Pingzhou by chance at a party at Fang's house.
The other party fell in love with her at first sight. After trying to flirt with her many times but failing, he finally sent someone to lure her over when she was out alone and put her under surveillance.
That villa is a cage that imprisons myself.
When she mentioned that Fang Hui and Zheng Pingzhou were actually cousins, the whole audience was shocked.
"Doing such a dirty thing to your brother's wife is simply outrageous to both humans and gods!" People at the scene were discussing it.
But along with this scandal, the Zheng family's image of harmonious family life that they had always created for the outside world completely collapsed.
Who would have thought that the Zheng family had illegitimate children since the previous generation - the so-called wealthy family is nothing more than a place where filth and dirt are hidden.
Public opinion quickly fermented.
——
It was originally a two-day cruise.
Before the cruise was halfway through, they hurriedly returned to the voyage. As the actual controller of the cruise ship, Zheng Pingzhou angrily called Xie Xiao on the way back and asked, "Who leaked Lin Shuang's home address?"
Xie Xiao was a little surprised when he suddenly received his call.
He was not familiar with the name Lin Shuang...
Zheng Pingzhou didn't bother to talk nonsense and said directly, "Watch the news..."
Xie Xiao immediately shouted, "Someone, turn on the TV for me."
Zheng Pingzhou couldn't help but frown as he heard the sound of sweet voices and laughter coming from the other side.
The next second, the sound coming from the TV overlapped with the faint noise on his side—
Lin Shuang's cold voice came through the live broadcast signal, with a hint of distortion from the flow of radio waves.
She was slowly telling about her past with Fang Hui.
The four words "childhood sweethearts" touched the hearts of countless people in front of the screen, and also clearly reached Zheng Pingzhou's ears through the receiver.
He lowered his eyes and spoke in a low voice, seemingly speaking to the person on the other end of the phone, but also as if talking to himself:
"That's enough."
"Thank you, Master..."
Xie Xiao frowned, but still waved his hand patiently, "Go down."
"OK."
Xie Xiao was completely unaware of this, and another figure immediately appeared in Zheng Pingzhou's mind.
Even if Xie Xiao was slow-witted at this moment, he knew that something big had happened. He vaguely heard the Zheng family on TV.
Zheng Pingzhou was an important helper in his journey to power.
He had originally hoped to exchange resources with Zheng Pingzhou through the project, and take advantage of Xie Siyan's announcement of their relationship to use the cooperation project with Zheng Pingzhou to prove his business ability to his father. Now everything has come to nothing, and Zheng Pingzhou's reputation has been ruined.
This move undoubtedly hits the vital point.
Xie Xiao could only pretend to be calm and reassure her: "Don't worry, I'll check on Lin Shuang's matter right away."
——
Zheng Pingzhou had no intention of dealing with him, so he hung up the phone and sat back heavily in his chair.
What's the point of checking now?
His eyes were fixed solemnly on the TV screen - the woman who had sometimes been subservient to him and sometimes treated him coldly was now appearing in front of the camera, calmly showing the scars on her body to the reporters, playing the role of a complete victim.
He knew very well that Lin Shuang had neither the intention nor the courage to openly oppose the Zheng family.
Even Fang Hui didn't dare to refuse, let alone she was a woman who wanted to marry into the Fang family.
There must be someone behind her who is scheming and manipulating everything in secret, and that is the person who took her away from the villa.
Xie Siyan...
Zheng Pingzhou narrowed his eyes and smashed a cup to the ground.
The assistant outside heard the sound, walked in timidly, and reported in a low voice: "Madam, please..."
Before he could finish his words, Zheng Pingzhou interrupted him harshly: "Get out!"
Why go back home now?
What good fruit can I get when I go back?
He took great pains to find a crack, then broke into Zhou Xu's social circle and approached Mu Jia, just to reach a cooperation with Xie Xiao and exchange resources.
But I didn't expect this illegitimate child to be so incompetent——
He hadn't taken any action yet, but the legitimate wife's son had already grasped all the information and made the decision. Why was he still fighting for Xie Xiao?
Such incompetent people should have given up the idea as soon as possible.
——
In the dead of winter, it gets dark especially early.
Mu Jia accompanied Song Mingxi for several hours outside, and both of them were carrying a lot of shopping bags.
On the way back, Mu Jia carefully asked Song Mingxi about his plans. Song Mingxi was firm and refused to live with Zhou Xu.
Mu Jia had no choice but to call Vice President Zhang of the group to help arrange accommodation.
Fortunately, the other party was prepared and said that the occupancy rate of the hotel booked by China Construction Group was very low at present, and her friend could go there at any time.
In the evening, Mu Jia did not choose to go back to the hospital, but accompanied Song Mingxi to buy supper and returned to her room together.
The two of them leaned on the bed and watched the show.
Song Mingxi has spent almost the past year pregnant, giving birth and taking care of the baby, so it's rare for her to have such a free time.
The two of them chatted and watched TV series, as if they were back in college, and the air was filled with a long-lost sense of ease.
Mu Jia asked tentatively, "Is there... any misunderstanding between you and Zhou Xu? I don't think he is the kind of person who would cheat on his wife."
Song Mingxi was still angry and vowed that he would never forgive him easily this time.
She was about to take out her cell phone to share the so-called "evidence" with Mu Jia when there was a light knock on the door.
Mu Jia got out of bed puzzled, put on his slippers and opened the door.
Xie Siyan was standing outside in neat clothes, covered in frost and snow, and still wrapped in coldness, as if he had just come back from outside.
Without glancing inside the room, he reached out and closed the door, then gently pulled Mu Jia over. His voice was low and a little tender, "Have you been with her enough?"
Xie Siyan half-held Mu Jia in his arms.
"If you've had enough of company, can you please accompany me too?"
