“Back then, I was stubborn and misjudged people, which broke your and my brother’s hearts.”
For two whole years, my daughter didn't set foot in the capital even once, but I never expected, I never expected it would end like this...
Zhou Zhenguang turned to look at Zhou Shiying, who had lost a lot of weight. When she got married, her face was still round and full of radiance.
I have now lived in Pingyang City for only two short years.
His face was haggard, and his eyes had dimmed considerably; he no longer possessed his former glory.
It goes without saying.
The betrayal by his bedmate was a devastating blow to Zhou Shiying.
If she hadn't been strong-willed and ruthless enough to put the Zhou family and her brother first, she probably would have risked everything and gone down in a fight to the death once the true nature of the Marquis of Pingyang was exposed.
Fortunately, it's all over now.
"Stop talking about it, it's all in the past." Zhou Zhenguang reached out his hand, his eyes, full of fine lines, glistening with tears. He touched Zhou Shiying's face tenderly: "Child, you've suffered so much."
"From now on, you and Cheng'er will be well."
"There were other hidden reasons behind the matter between Lin Jiaoyun and Cheng'er back then. Cheng'er didn't want to do it that way either, but for the sake of the Zhou family and his relatives, he had to lower his dignity to please Lin Jiaoyun. He suffered more than any of us."
Zhou Shiying nodded with tears in her eyes: "I know, Dad. Cheng'er told me everything. I was foolish. I'm sorry to him."
"It's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up. Your brother has been looking forward to your return for the past two years. Don't act impulsively again in the future."
“............”
The scene of the father and daughter reuniting moved all of Zhou's close relatives and friends present.
However—
Standing beside Zhou Cheng, Cheng Xianyi lowered her eyes and glanced at Zhou Shiying several times with half-closed eyes.
Ziyan also gave Zhou Shiying a deep look, then secretly glanced at Zhou Cheng, her mind filled with confusion and doubt: Had she misheard? Was there another reason? What reason?
Everyone in the capital knew how much Mr. Zhou loved Lin Jiaoyun.
But it seems the Zhou family is implying... things aren't that simple?
There was a reason why Young Master Zhou fawned over Lin Jiaoyun so humbly, and he had to do it... Why?
"master?"
Ziyan whispered in Cheng Xianyi's ear, "Did you just hear that? General Zhou just said that Young Master Zhou only tried to please that woman for the sake of the Zhou family."
"He suffered a lot for this, even more than Zhou Shiying."
"What does this mean?"
"Could it be... that Young Master Zhou has never had feelings for Lin Jiaoyun?"
Cheng Xianyi's heart skipped a beat when she heard the last sentence.
Countless details from the past flashed through my mind in an instant.
She thought of all the scenes from her time in the capital...
Ah Cheng once said that he had never liked Miss Lin, and that his engagement to her was only because he was Cheng Xianyi, not to make Miss Lin jealous...
Ah Cheng also said that he didn't care who Miss Lin married at all; even if Miss Lin died right in front of him, he wouldn't even blink an eye...
so!
so? ! !
Her dark, curly eyelashes trembled slightly as she turned her head to stare directly at Ziyan, her gaze clear, all her attention focused on this one sentence: "You also think that Acheng has never liked Miss Lin?"
Ziyan: "???"
What do you mean by "I think"?
"Isn't this what General Zhou is saying? Master, you are Young Master Zhou's fiancée. Shouldn't you know more about this than an outsider like me?"
