Chapter 361 I only have this one wish
Perhaps it was because it had been too long, so long that she had forgotten that she had ever made such a promise to Lin Zhou.
At that time, Zhang Shuai was hospitalized in critical condition, with no one to care for him. The high hospital bills left her at a loss. It was Lin Zhou who stepped in to solve those problems.
She knew Lin Zhou wasn't doing this for Zhang Shuai, but because of her. Out of gratitude, she didn't think too much about it at the time and made him such a promise.
"The first one, do you remember?" Lin Zhou asked her: "I said I wanted to eat the food you cooked!"
How could I not remember?
The meal was not pleasant because of Lin Hai. The two had a big quarrel. Although the meal was prepared, Lin Zhou was busy trying to stop the quarrel and did not eat a single bite.
"Remember."
"Well, do the last two unfulfilled promises still count?" Lin Zhou asked again, "Do you acknowledge them?"
"recognize!"
Tian Xin said firmly: "Let's talk about this outside."
"Mom, stay with Auntie for a while. I'm going to the village committee. Don't think too much about what happened today. I'll be back before dinner and I'll explain it to you when I get back."
"Auntie, I'm sorry, I know why you came today. But the matter between Lin Zhou and I has to be resolved by ourselves, don't you agree?"
After explaining all this, she glanced at Lin Zhou, turned around and walked out the door.
It’s a long way from home to the village committee.
Ever since Zhang Shuai's accident, she has been traveling back and forth on this road alone and has become accustomed to it.
Today, with Lin Zhou by my side, I feel uncomfortable.
We passed many fields along the way and met villagers who greeted us.
Lin Zhou opened his mouth to ask, but was interrupted several times.
Finally they reached a deserted place, he couldn't help it and reached out to stop her.
"I have only one wish. If you can grant it, I won't have to ask for the third one."
Lin Zhou's gaze was firm, and he didn't dodge or retreat when he looked at her. He seemed very strong. But she could see the pleading behind this strength at a glance.
Yes, beg.
His hands were shaking.
The same goes for lips and shoulders, without exception!
"You said, as long as I can do it, I agree!"
He knew how to control her. He saw through her soft-heartedness and her disguise at a glance.
"Don't break up! Okay? Give me another chance."
Lin Zhou suddenly reached out and hugged her: "I have obtained the company's shares and separated from my father. From now on, he will not use you anymore, nor will he interfere in our affairs. And Liang Xiao, I have made it clear to his father. This kind of thing will not happen again. Believe it..."
"what happens?"
Before she could express her determination, a big hand suddenly appeared and forcibly pulled Tian Xin out of Lin Zhou's arms.
Lin Zhou Yi turned around and saw Zhang Shuai standing there angrily, pulling Tian Xin behind him.
"What are you doing here?" Lin Zhou looked unhappy.
"I was going to ask you something. What are you doing here? Don't you think she's sad enough?"
Zhang Shuai clenched his fists and gritted his teeth while asking questions, ready to beat Lin Zhou up at any time.
In his opinion, Lin Zhou deserved a beating for still coming and pestering him at this time.
As soon as Tian Xin saw his behavior, she knew what she was going to do and quickly pulled him aside: "What do you want to do?"
"He deserves a beating. He dares to come here at this time." Zhang Shuai shook her hand away and stepped forward, pointing at Lin Zhou and asking, "What wish did you just say? What did you want her to agree to? If it's not Lin Zhou, what right do you have? Who gave you that sense of superiority? You've already broken up, so why are you asking her for anything? Does she owe you anything?"
Isn’t it just what I owe him?
Who owes the debt?
Lin Zhou sneered, "Why? I'll tell you why. Just because she promised me for you..."
"Okay, stop arguing!"
Tian Xin shouted, interrupting Lin Zhou's next words.
"Stop talking, this one won't work, you...you change it."
"Change it?" Lin Zhou looked at her in disbelief. After a moment, he suddenly smiled bitterly, his face half helpless and half sad, but he changed his tone: "I won't change it. This is the only one. If you feel you can't agree to it, then forget it. Don't take it to heart in the future. I'll pretend you never said anything."
After saying that, he let go of his hand on Tian Xin's shoulder and took two steps back.
These two steps widened the distance between the three people.
"You..." Tian Xin was a little helpless: "I mean, besides this..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense with him. What did you promise?"
Zhang Shuai interrupted again, "Lin Zhou, please explain clearly. What did you mean? Why did she do this for me..."
"Don't you know why?" Lin Zhou was also angry. He took two steps forward to force Zhang Shuai to retreat. "During those days when you were dying, lying in the hospital, who paid for your hospital bills? Who ran around and took care of you without caring about anything else? You ask me what qualifications I have? I'll tell you what qualifications I have..."
"What do you mean? My mom has already returned the money to you. Is there any need to keep holding on to it?" Zhang Shuai interrupted him again: "You're using this to pressure the boss now. Is that fun?"
"I forced her?"
“Isn’t it…?”
"Oh, okay? Stop arguing!"
Tian Xin shouted again: "I didn't force him. I promised him."
"I don't blame anyone for this. I'm responsible for what I say."
After saying that, she turned to Zhang Shuai and said, "I want to talk to Lin Zhou alone. You go back first!"
"I'll go back?" Zhang Shuai pointed at himself, a look of disbelief on his face. "You're not the boss, can't you be more capable? You agree to everything he says. Who was it just now crying and shouting that he didn't want to see him again..."
"Stop talking and go!"
After this sound, the three of them fell into silence for a short while.
After a moment, Zhang Shuai sighed, turned around and left!
Although he left, he kept looking back, worried that Tian Xin would be wronged again.
He couldn't understand why it was always like this. Between him and Lin Zhou, his boss always sided with Lin Zhou. Regardless of who was right or wrong.
It was obvious that he was the first one to meet the boss at the beginning.
It was also they who accompanied each other through the most difficult times.
When did all this start to change?
Zhang Shuai couldn't understand.
But he didn't understand, Lin Zhou knew everything.
Just like now, as soon as Zhang Shuai left, he could already guess what Tian Xin was going to say to him.
"Actually, you don't have to shut him up," he said. "I know I was wrong to you before. You care, and I care too, so I don't expect your forgiveness. But can you please not break up with me?"
"You know what I care about?"
“…Wh…what?”
"Then do you know why I have to break up?"
"Because of what happened last night? Or was it Liang Xiao before..."
"Look..." Tian Xin looked up at him and smiled bitterly: "This is the problem between us."
"..." Lin Zhou was confused: "What's the problem? What... are you talking about?"
"Before, I was indeed angry about Liang Xiao. You clearly know how important this shopping festival is to me. Such a serious problem had occurred, but you knew about it but didn't investigate, and even though you knew it was her fault, you didn't pursue the matter."
"That's because..."
"Okay, even if it's difficult for you to speak up because of the relationship between your two families, fine. I admit it. But what happened to you last night? You said you were drunk and didn't know anything. Then how did she get into your room? You two slept alone all night, are you sure nothing happened?"
"I swear, I didn't. Didn't you say you believed me? Why are you bringing this up again?"
Lin Zhou was anxious and angry, and tried to hug her.
Tian Xin took a step back and looked at him coldly: "Lin Zhou, you don't understand what I really want. I don't blame you or me for bringing us to this point today. It's my own wishful thinking. I can grant you this wish."
"I can promise you not to break up, but Lin Zhou, from this moment on, I will no longer allow myself to love you!"
