Chapter 158 If You Don’t Want to Forgive, Then Don’t Forgive
8
On the way back, Xu Ge couldn't help laughing when he thought of the shocked look on the young couple's faces.
She turned to look at Zhou Chen and winked at him, "Do you think they were scared by me?"
Zhou Chen glanced at her and said, "Now you know better than to joke around next time."
"I'm not joking, I'm just telling the truth."
"Your words could easily lead to misunderstandings."
Xu Ge curled his lips, "Do you remember the first time I met you?"
"Remember."
When she saw Zhou Chen for the first time, she felt that she had never seen such a handsome man.
He was young and handsome, so she subconsciously called him brother.
Zhou Chen smiled at her at that time, a very friendly smile.
Having always lived under someone else's roof, Xu Ge learned to read other people's faces at a very young age.
I know this smile is very pure.
But she never thought that he was Uncle Ping's biological brother, so she could only change her words and call him uncle.
In fact, she couldn't say it at first because she was not used to it.
She really couldn't bring herself to call him brother, as he was just a teenager. It would have been more appropriate to call him brother, but their generation gap was there.
Zhou Chen probably knew what she was thinking, so he asked her to call him uncle.
This call lasted for many years.
When they arrived at the apartment, Xu Ge couldn't help but find it funny to see him get out of the car.
"Will you come up with me?"
Zhou Chen looked at her, "Is there any problem?"
Xu Ge shook his head. "It's fine with me, but is it okay for you to live with me?"
"No problem." Zhou Chen took her hand and glanced at Han Wen and said, "You don't have to pick me up tomorrow."
Han Wen didn't need to ask why, just nodded.
"Aren't you going to the company tomorrow?"
"No."
Xu Ge didn't ask any more questions, she wasn't curious anyway.
"I'll take you on a date tomorrow."
This made Xu Ge stunned for a few seconds, and she turned her head to look at him.
"Take me on a date?"
Zhou Chen gently played with her fingers, one by one, "Hmm."
Xu Ge glanced at his fingers, although he didn't know what was so fun about them.
"Miss Chi is still in Paris, right?"
Zhou Chen couldn't help but look up at her when she suddenly mentioned Chi Yan, "Yeah."
Xu Ge looked puzzled, "Don't you need to go back to accompany her?"
"Need not."
Xu Ge shrugged and didn't ask any more questions.
Aunt Hong was not surprised to see the two of them walking in hand in hand, and even looked at them with a smile.
"I'm back. Wash your hands and you can eat."
Xu Ge then shook his hands and said, "Let go, wash your hands."
Zhou Chen then let go of her hand, and the two of them went into the bathroom one after the other.
While eating, Xu Ge suddenly thought of a question. She looked at Zhou Chen and then at Aunt Hong.
So after dinner, Xu Ge looked at the person coming out of the shower and suddenly asked.
"It was Aunt Hong who put drugs in the wine."
Zhou Chen paused in wiping his hair, but it only took three seconds for him to return to normal.
Xu Ge had been observing his facial expressions, but did not see any other emotions on his face. The few seconds of pause seemed to be just a reflex of consciousness.
So she sat up and stared at him, "So you knew this a long time ago? When?"
Zhou Chen put down the towel and turned to look at her, "Is this important?"
"certainly."
Xu Ge's tone was a little solemn. This was a matter concerning her innocence, how could it not be important?
"You must have known this all along...2_22%%2"
Xu Ge's face changed when he thought of this possibility.
Zhou Chen held her wrist and said, "Don't get excited. It's not what you think."
Xu Ge took a deep breath and tried to pull his wrist back but failed, as he held it tighter.
"So, what is that?"
Zhou Chen rubbed her wrist gently without saying anything.
But Xu Ge thought a lot. He was obviously very cold towards her when she just came back.
"I was wondering why you suddenly changed your temper. Is it because you knew I was innocent and wrongly accused that you feel guilty?"
Xu Ge pulled his wrist away with force and sneered, "Why, you're not with me because you feel sorry for me, are you?"
Zhou Chen frowned slightly, "No."
Xu Ge still believed what he said, so he just stared at him for several seconds without saying anything, then turned over and lay down.
"I'm going to sleep alone tonight."
Zhou Chen looked at her back for a few seconds before lying down beside her, but she got up as soon as he lay down.
"If you like this room, then I'll leave it to you. I'll sleep in the guest room."
Zhou Chen hugged him and asked, "So angry?"
Xu Ge wanted to struggle but he held her tighter. "Auntie Hong has been in the Zhou family for more than 30 years."
Xu Ge really stopped struggling. Zhou Chen lowered his eyes to look at her, kissed the top of her head soothingly, and continued.
"My mother's health wasn't very good when she was pregnant with me, and the doctor didn't recommend keeping the baby."
Xu Ge was a little surprised, but still listened to him quietly.
Go on.
"Where do you start?"
Xu Ge waited for a long time but he didn't speak again, so he couldn't help but turn around and look at him.
"Are you going to tell the truth or not? What's the point of the lawsuit?"
Zhou Chen pinched her cheek and said, "My parents' marriage was arranged by arrangement. They had never even met before they got married."
Xu Ge was indeed surprised, after all, she knew that they had a good relationship.
"My eldest brother was born six months after they got married. At that time, they were rarely together and their relationship wasn't very deep. It was only later that they fell in love. I was born when their relationship was very strong, but my mother's health was not very good at that time. The doctor recommended not to keep the baby, but they couldn't bear to let him go, so they kept him."
"Later, my mother accidentally fell into the lake. She could swim, but because she was in her late pregnancy, she couldn't save herself. If it weren't for Aunt Hong, I'm afraid my mother and I would have met with misfortune. Aunt Hong is our lifesaver."
Xu Ge's eyes flickered as he heard him continue, "Actually, Aunt Hong is a distant relative of Mother's, a cousin. Aunt Hong has always been by Mother's side, and they have always had a good relationship. That's why when Mother was seriously ill, she asked that Aunt Hong stay with the Zhou family forever, even if she gets married in the future."
Xu Ge was silent. How could he repay the life-saving grace?
"so what?"
Zhou Chen held her tighter, "So, I can't do anything to her. Even if it's for my mother's kindness in taking care of me and growing up, I can't just abandon her."
Xu Ge pulled the corners of his lips and nodded in agreement. "I agree with you. Aunt Hong has done you a favor, so you will forgive him, but I won't. She did take good care of me in the past, but this little favor is not worth the weight of her ruining my life."
Perhaps because he saw her expression becoming increasingly cold, Zhou Chen patted her back soothingly.
"Well, if you don't want to forgive then don't forgive."
Xu Ge's eyes narrowed as he looked at his familiar gaze and indulgence. For some reason, he felt inexplicably blocked in his heart.
"I make my own decisions, that's all."
"Yeah, that's right, go to sleep."
