Chapter 84 Tanshan Prison
There was still a lingering smell of burning in the air.
The few words he had just seen accidentally flashed through Ming Zhao's mind, and he tilted his head to hide his smile.
She walked forward and hugged Zhou Tingyun's waist, and a strange feeling of satisfaction enveloped her.
It’s the middle of a summer watermelon, the tip of a plump strawberry, the shiny crispy skin of roast duck, and a fizzy iced cola.
Zhou Tingyun's behavior made her happy instead, and her heart turned into a bird flapping its wings, flying to the branch and singing.
The more he tried to control her, the more his dark side came out, the more she felt her heart rate quicken.
She liked his emotions being affected by her, and liked him pinching her neck and yelling at her when he was angry.
Rules are broken and overeating is common.
What's more, Zhou Tingyun always indulged Mingzhao's hedonism.
It was not until the New Year that the two of them prepared to return home.
The private plane landed in North City and the special car stopped at the Ming family villa.
The courtyard is already filled with red lanterns, and the aunts are pasting blessing characters and couplets.
"Moving abroad?"
In the living room, Ming Zheng looked at the two of them in surprise.
Ming Zhao felt guilty in front of his mother, his ability to lie plummeted, and he secretly pulled at the corner of Zhou Tingyun's clothes.
The man said calmly, "The company has important business expansion, and we need to live there for a long time."
Hearing this, Ming Zheng looked at her daughter.
Zhou Tingyun spoke for her.
"I'm worried about Zhao Zhao being here alone. Come with me so I can take care of her."
Ming Zheng had no objection. "When are you planning to move?"
Zhou Tingyun said: "Let's wait until after the New Year."
She nodded.
At this time, the cell phone rang.
Ming Zheng picked up the phone and heard the secretary's embarrassed voice.
"Mr. Ming, someone has come from Tanshan Prison again, and they want you to come over."
——
Suburban area, Honolulu Prison.
"No. 083, someone is here to see you."
The prison guard's voice echoed in the silent corridor.
After a while, the handcuffs made a crisp sound and the man stood up calmly.
The heavy iron door was slowly opened.
The light in the visiting room was pale and cold, and a man in prison uniform walked in and sat down.
The entourage walked up and handcuffed his wrists neatly on both sides.
Then he nodded slightly to Mingzheng, turned and left.
The footsteps gradually faded away, leaving behind silence.
Zhou Jinzhi had lost his elegant appearance, his brows were shrouded in a hint of gloom, and his dark eyes were unfathomable.
He leaned back in his chair and said slowly, "It must be tiring to pretend for so many years."
Ming Zheng looked at him.
"Aren't you too?"
The two sat opposite each other, but there seemed to be an unbridgeable gap between them. The affection of the past twenty years had disappeared in an instant.
In the quietly flowing silence, Zhou Jinzhi suddenly smiled.
"I'm not," he said.
There is no need to make things too clear between adults.
Ming Zheng understood his implication, but responded calmly, "You called me here just to talk about this?"
Looking at the woman in front of him who inadvertently revealed a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, Zhou Jinzhi never thought that one day he would want to ask such a vulgar question.
But he still asked, even though he already knew the answer.
When Ming Zheng heard the man's words, she felt a little absurd.
He killed Xin Mian and almost killed her, how could he ask such a question?
Ming Zheng only felt endless hatred for him in her heart.
"No." She answered briefly, as if she didn't want to say another word.
"I didn't mean to hurt you." Zhou Jinzhi lowered his head slightly, his wrists handcuffed to the table motionless.
"I know you have a meeting that day and won't be riding in that car."
“But after receiving the notification that the meeting was cancelled, it was already too late.”
That was his first taste of regret.
