"That's why we have to keep a closer eye on Zhou Jiwen," Xie Jing said matter-of-factly. "Even if they don't meet in person, he still uses various communication apps to contact them, right?"
"I'm afraid he's too cautious," Zhou Jiyun sighed. "It feels like there's a cloud of fog surrounding us. When will we be able to completely clear this fog?"
Xie Jing was open-minded: "Don't worry, I'm too concerned about my own safety. With Huang Juan and Li Li around, I won't go to any noisy places. Even if someone really wants to harm me, it's broad daylight, what can they do?"
"The security of our community is very strict."
Zhou Jiyun managed to relax a little: "Yes, you are right. The reason you had an accident is because the villa is relatively remote and there are not many people around, so others have the opportunity to take advantage of it."
"As long as you stay at home and have bodyguards with you, I can rest assured about your safety."
Xie Jing: "Instead of pinning our hopes on Zhou Jiwen, we should place our hopes on Si Xi. Let's assume that the longevity lock is mine..."
Zhou Jiyun: "I've been thinking for a while now that the longevity lock should be yours. Think about it, how many elders would keep a child's blanket and a longevity lock with them?"
"Did Xie Wuyang and Xie Wuyou all have their own longevity locks? Did the Liu family members of your generation also have them? If so, why did Li Ercui only keep this longevity lock and the blanket?"
"And they're hidden in such a secluded place? They must have some ulterior motive. Other than it being related to your background, I have no other guesses."
Xie Jing held up her chin. "That seems to make some sense. I still say the same thing. We should remain unchanged in the face of change and protect ourselves well. Then, no matter how many storms there are in the outside world, I won't be afraid."
Zhou Jiyun: "There's one more thing. Brother Fan said this morning that Zhou Jiwen and Jiang Cha both went to Yueming Villa. I was wondering, how could I have fallen into the hands of Zhou Jiwen, who is so impulsive and narrow-minded?"
Xie Jing patted his head, as if patting a dot: "Didn't I say it? It's because you are too upright. Often, people who are too upright will suffer when dealing with such villains. It's understandable that you suffered losses before."
Zhou Jiyun sighed: "I just feel that I have wronged you. Why is my family so terrible?"
"How could that be?" Xie Jing hugged him. "Your parents are so wonderful! Even though they're gone, they're still very good people in my heart. How well did they raise you? You were honest, kind, and responsible."
The smile on Zhou Jiyun's face became more and more obvious: "Am I so good in your eyes?"
"Of course, you have always been a good person." Xie Jing said seriously, patting Zhou Jiwen on the shoulder: "Although you have suffered a lot of hurt, you still maintain your inner bottom line, which is very rare."
"Even though you knew Zhou Zhida and Zhou Jiwen weren't good people, you didn't think of resorting to extreme measures. This is what I admire most about you."
"Of course, you hired someone to keep an eye on Zhou Jiwen and the others. Although it was a bit over the line, I understand you. Because these are things that haven't happened in the future yet. You are just trying to protect yourself, not to actively harm others."
Xie Jing said softly, "Many people turn evil and seek revenge after being hurt. I'm not saying their behavior is wrong. But I think in a society ruled by law, no matter who they are, they have no right to judge others. Everything should be left to the law."
Zhou Jiyun said hoarsely: "Thank you for understanding me."
Xie Jing: "Are you stupid? I'm definitely on your side."
She yawned as she spoke: "Are you relieved now? I plan to sleep a little longer. Do you want to get up or..."
Before she finished speaking, she was picked up by Zhou Jiyun: "I'll take another nap with you."
Xie Jing rolled her eyes. Once this man's worries were put aside, he began to think about cultivating a relationship with her. Who wanted him to accompany her? She was so comfortable occupying such a large bed by herself.
Zhou Jiyun ignored Xie Jing's weak protests and insisted on taking a nap with Xie Jing before leaving the master bedroom. Li's mother usually didn't come over on weekends. She knew that this was Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing's private time, and she was not the kind of aunt who was inconsiderate.
When Sixi went north to investigate Xie Jing's life experience, Lao Feng, with whom he had formed an unintentional good friend, was the first to deliver a message.
Brother Fan: "His son's medical treatment requires a large sum of money. Uncle Feng is an honest man, so he wanted to repay you. He also knows that you have everything you need, so I asked him about some of the Liu family's events from over 20 years ago."
"Old Feng is a very honest man. He's worked for the Liu family for over ten years, though not the longest. He was introduced by his uncle. It's said that his uncle, Feng Gui, used to be Mr. Liu's driver for almost thirty years."
"Feng Gui suffered a lumbar disc attack two years ago, and he couldn't do his job as a driver anymore, so he retired from the job. Now Feng Gui lives with Old Feng's family."
Zhou Jiyun was surprised: "Feng Gui has no children? Living with his nephew's family?"
Brother Fan knew that Zhou Jiyun was particularly good at grasping the key points: "Yes, Feng Gui was in a car accident when he was driving for Mr. Liu. In order to protect Mr. Liu, Feng Gui's fertility was affected. He got married and then divorced."
"He saw that Feng Xiao was honest, hardworking, and kind, so he introduced Feng Xiao to work for the Liu family. Of course, Feng Xiao will also be responsible for Feng Gui's retirement, as he has a son."
"We just didn't expect Feng Xiao's son to suddenly develop such a disease. It really caught us all off guard."
Zhou Jiyun understood: "So have you met this Feng Gui?"
Zhang Yifan chuckled, "I did see him, but this old man must have seen a lot of private things over the years. He also saw that I was prying for information and insisted on seeing the real person. Of course, he guessed it was Xie Jing."
"Besides, he wants money."
Xie Jing raised an eyebrow. "It's understandable that he wants money. His nephew has such a serious illness. It's uncertain whether he can provide for him in his old age. It's even doubtful that he can outlive him. I understand why he wants to save some money for himself."
Zhang Yifan: "The boss lady is really generous. Then I'll bring him over. He's in the parking lot downstairs. Given the state of the two of you, it's not appropriate to meet outside. It's better to be at home in seclusion."
Xie Jing stood up and said, "Let's go down with you. You're such an old man, I feel a little embarrassed if we just wait at home."
Zhou Jiyun was also very polite: "Let's go together. Even if he doesn't know anything, he is so old, we should still follow the proper etiquette."
Zhang Yifan thought to himself, this couple are really decent people.
