Zhou Zi smiled and said, "It's quite sour!"
Later, Zhou Zi accepted an invitation from a friend in Jiangcheng, saying it was a college reunion.
Zhou Zi hasn't been to Jiang Cheng for a long time. Jiang Cheng, she is both afraid and misses him. However, her best friend from school days has been urging her to go, saying that there won't be many people going this time. Zhou Zi, you were the boys' dream girl back then, and now you are a famous anchor. If you don't come, there will be no atmosphere. Is that appropriate?
Zhou Zi thought about it and it made sense. Ever since she went to the United States, she had only been to Jiangcheng. When she was looking for a job, she then came to Fengcheng, which was very far away from Jiangcheng and almost on the opposite diagonal of the motherland. Now that her best friend was not insisting, she might as well go.
She told Qiao Ke that she wanted to go to Jiangcheng.
"If you're not afraid of nightmares, that's all!" Qiao Ke said without hesitation.
"I thought about it. Jiangcheng is my hometown after all. Even if I am afraid, it doesn't matter! I have to get up from where I fell. The more afraid I am, the more I have to face it." Zhou Zi said.
Qiao Ke said nothing, turned around, and thought, even if he went, Zhou Xianrong would be gone.
Fengcheng and Jiangcheng are still some distance apart, but it only takes more than three hours by plane. Zhou Zi plans to stay in Jiangcheng for one night and go to Fengcheng on the next day.
Before Zhou Zi booked the plane ticket, she received a call from Cui Qin, who wanted to have dinner with her and said that she would go to Jiangcheng tomorrow.
"I also want to go to Jiangcheng to attend the class reunion. It can't be that strange, do you want to go too?" Zhou Zi asked.
"Yes, I'll come tomorrow afternoon. What time do you want to book your flight? I'll ask someone from the company to book it for you." Cui Qin said.
"Well, we can stay close this way. I'll transfer the money to you later. If you don't have time to go, why don't you accompany me to the class reunion?" Zhou Zi asked. "I haven't been for a few years, and I'm a little scared! It's not good to have another close friend."
Cui Qin actually agreed readily and helped Zhou Zi book a plane ticket.
On the plane, Cui Qin was blindfolded all the time. Zhou Zi felt a little uneasy. She was afraid that Qiao Zhengye would go this time as well. But when she thought about it, he had no reason to go. He ran away abroad without saying a word and didn't even tell his classmates his contact information. She probably wouldn't go.
Zhou Zi was afraid that if he went there, his classmates would make fun of them.
You know, the classmates spare no effort to match their past lovers, because they are still stuck in the love at that time, and neither know nor have any feelings for their later partners. Even if others are married, they still want to match their former lovers. This is not abnormal, it is probably a kind of nostalgia for youth.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon when we got off the plane, and it was five o'clock when we arrived at the high-end club where the classmates had a reunion. The party had just begun, and the classmates were chatting, eating and drinking.
Zhou Zi was peeling an apple with a knife. Although she was silent, she was still the focus of her classmates. Everyone asked Zhou Zi who she was with now. Zhou Zi said she was with someone who worked in new energy.
"Wow, Qiao Zhengye had no chance back then?" After all, Zhou Zi and Qiao Zhengye were a beautiful sight on campus at the time. People saw them together every day. Zhou Zi was a rich lady, and Qiao Zhengye was a poor boy. No one paid attention to them at the time, but Qiao Zhengye had the energy to eat the swan meat.
Cui Qin is next to Zhou Zi.
After a while, a man came into the club and everyone looked over.
Zhou Zi also saw that it was the person she had hoped for - Qiao Zhengye.
Everyone looked at Zhou Zi, then at Qiao Zhengye, and after a long moment they said, "Say Cao Wei, Cao Wei, that's it!"
Cui Qin sat next to Zhou Zi, while Zhou Zi sat there peeling apples, and the days passed like years!
No one cared whether they had new lovers or not, they were still making fun of Zhou Zi and Qiao Zhengye.
Zhou Zi simply lowered her head and cut apples without paying any attention.
We were having a great time joking around when the door of the club rang. It might have been ringing for a long time, but it was drowned out by the noise of the classmates.
To ease the embarrassment, Zhou Zi hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll go open the door!"
The door opened and Jiang Jingcheng stood outside.
Zhou Zi was so stunned that she couldn't speak. She still held the water knife in her hand, with the tip of the knife facing outwards.
Jiang Jingcheng glanced down at Dao and said with a smile, "You want me to die?"
Zhou Zi hurriedly put away the knife. "No, that's not what I meant. It's just that—I forgot! Why are you here?"
"Why are you here?" Jiang Jingcheng asked instead of answering.
"I'm here for a class reunion! You're here to find—" Zhou Zi asked.
Jiang Jingcheng looked up at the house number and said with a smile, "Sorry, I went to the wrong place. It should be upstairs!"
Then he turned and left.
The classmates in the room were also looking at Zhou Zi and the man at the door. Most people knew that this was Zhou Zi’s husband at the time - Jiang Jingcheng, a famous wealthy businessman. Who wouldn’t know him?
Everyone thought that Zhou Zi married Jiang Jingcheng out of spite, and later couldn't live with him anymore, so she divorced him a month later and went to the United States to find Qiao Zhengye. They all thought that Jiang Jingcheng was just an episode in Zhou Zi's life, and Qiao Zhengye was the real person.
"Why don't you give me a kiss? Don't be embarrassed!" The classmates started to make trouble again.
"Don't come over!" Zhou Zi said, "No, I have a boyfriend now."
Everyone started to boo even louder.
"Okay, I'm Zhou Zi's friend and I know Zhou Zi's new boyfriend. If you continue like this, I will tell her boyfriend and you will be responsible if it causes family conflicts!" Cui Qin said half-jokingly.
The classmates were all very disappointed, "You came here to bring a girlfriend, and that's your purpose!"
The awkwardness was finally relieved, and Zhou Zi and Cui Qin smiled at each other.
After the class reunion, Zhou Zi wanted to stay at Cui Qin's house, but Cui Qin hesitated and said, "Not today. Someone very important is coming to my house today."
"Who is it? Are you trying to get me out?"
"You don't know me."
Zhou Zi was particularly disappointed. The Zhou family's mansions were now owned by the Jiang family. All the houses in the Zhou family were sold to the even richer Jiang family to raise money to pay off their debts. She had nowhere to go.
A person who has no house in his hometown has to stay in a hotel.
A car stopped by the roadside. "Want to get in?"
It was Jiang Jingcheng's voice.
It's always better to have someone to talk to than to be alone. Zhou Zi got in the car, and she had some questions to ask him.
After fastening her seatbelt, Zhou Zi asked, "Why did you suddenly come to Jiangcheng? And you showed up at the club where our classmates were having a reunion?"
Jiang Jingcheng glanced at Zhou Zi and said, "Is it strange? I'm originally from Jiangcheng, and my business is both here and there. This club is where I usually go for social events, so it's not surprising that I ran into you."
Zhou Zi nodded, that's indeed the case.
"Where are you going? To the Wu family?" Jiang Jingcheng asked.
Zhou Zi paused, "In Jiangcheng, I no longer have a home!"
Jiang Jingcheng said nothing, sent Zhou Zi to the most luxurious hotel in Jiangcheng, and charged the money with his own card.
"No, it's not like I'm short of money." Two people were talking at the front desk.
Jiang Jingcheng leaned sideways, his elbow resting on the marble table at the front desk. He smiled, "Isn't this the most gentlemanly thing to do?"
"Are you the same way with the women you had before?" Zhou Zi asked.
"Which woman was I with before?" Jiang Jingcheng asked with a faint smile.
Well, if we don’t get along, there’s no point in talking. Zhou Zi went upstairs under the guidance of the waiter. She flew today and attended a class reunion. She was tired, but she couldn’t fall asleep!
The Zhou family’s miserable state five years ago is still vivid in my mind.
It is very far away from the hotel, the Jiang Family Villa, a villa in the suburbs.
Jiang Jingcheng's mother, Xue Mingmei, sat in a wheelchair and glanced at the babysitter who usually took care of her with a sinister look. "Where's Jingcheng? Why don't you come stay here today?"
"Mr. Jiang is staying at the Jingyun Club again tonight!" said the nanny.
Xue Mingmei sat by the window, muttering to herself, "No way—the Jiang family owns at least fifty houses in Jiangcheng, and more than ten villas. Maybe he just doesn't want to live in this house, and doesn't want to live with a disabled person like me!"
The little nanny looked at the old lady helplessly and thought: Why deceive myself?
At ten o'clock the next morning, Zhou Zi prepared to go to Fengcheng.
At my mother's house, while having dinner with Wanwan and Qiao Ke, Wanwan said in a very gentle and soft voice, "Mom, Uncle Zeng came over last night."
"Are you coming to see me?" Zhou Zi asked in confusion. She had already told Zeng Jin that she was going to Jiang Cheng to attend the class reunion.
"No, he said he was afraid that I would be lonely, so he came to accompany me. But, Mom, there is something I want to tell you." Wanwan said mysteriously.
"What? Grandma doesn't want me to know?" Zhou Zi glanced at Qiao Ke.
"Yes, Uncle Zeng and I made an appointment not to tell anyone, but I couldn't hold it in any longer, so I told you!" Wanwan waved to Zhou Zi, and Zhou Zi put her ear close to Wanwan's lips.
"Uncle Zeng asked me who my father is!"
Zhou Zi's face changed and she thought, Wanwan herself doesn't even know who her father is, how could she tell Zeng Jin?
Therefore, she was not worried at all that Zeng Jin would know about Zhou Zi and Jiang Jingcheng's past.
It’s not that Zhou Zi deliberately concealed it, but she didn’t want to mention her past with Jiang Jingcheng at all.
Since no one in Fengcheng knows about it, let's keep it a secret.
The next day, when Zhou Zi went to work, she wanted to find Zuo Dan to sign, but unexpectedly, Zuo Dan was not there.
When I came out, I ran into the director, who said Zuo Dan was on a business trip and might come back today.
Zhou Zi nodded.
"It only takes three hours to fly between Jiangcheng and Fengcheng. I guess they will arrive tomorrow," the director added.
Zhou Ziwei frowned, "Jiangcheng? She went to Jiangcheng?"
"Yes, she will be hosting the event on location this time," said the station director.
Zhou Zi's eyelids twitched instinctively. Although Zuo Dan was said to be on location, Zhou Zi always felt that her scene was "related to Jiang Jingcheng's ex-wife" and felt quite uneasy.
She couldn't get anything done in the office, and since there was nothing to do in the afternoon, she went home early.
At home, Qiao Ke was sitting alone on the sofa watching TV. Zhou Zi asked, "Mom, where is Wanwan?"
