Aunt Li brought out the dishes and said, "I think the Second Young Master is right. I've seen that Lin Nan, she's not as innocent as she appears. She was discharged from the hospital last week, and I heard that Zhou Zhida directly moved her into a large house under his name."
"I heard that Lin Nan didn't want to disturb her and wanted to stay in a hotel or go out. But Zhou Zhida was very adamant and wouldn't let her stay in a hotel. How can a hotel be as comfortable as home?"
"He even hired a nurse for her. Just think about it, she's lying in bed, barely able to move, yet Zhou Zhida can be so attentive and considerate to her. How could he be just an ordinary person?"
Xie Jing's focus wasn't on Lin Nan. She was a little curious: "Have you been to the hospital recently?"
Li Ma wiped her hands and said, "I'm free anyway, so I'll go to the hospital occasionally. After all, Lin Nan doesn't know me."
"There's a lot of gossip in the hospital, especially about the rich."
Yun Xu was a gossiper. He approached Li Ma and asked, "Anything else? Li Ma, can you tell me more?"
Mother Li thought for a moment and said, "No, it's mainly about how attentive and considerate Zhou Zhida is to Lin Nan. I didn't hear anything else."
"But I just heard you say that Lin Nan had met Qi Yan before, which is interesting. As for Fang Qin, we all know that she's not very thoughtful. She's probably only slightly better than Liu Limin."
"Even if Zhou Zhida is usually very good at hiding his thoughts, can he keep it a secret from everyone? I guess Lin Nan must have had some leverage over him a few years ago. I even have a darker thought, could this be a factor behind Zhou Zhida being so considerate to Lin Nan now?"
Li Ma wiped her hands with a rag and said, "These days, you can't trust a man's sincerity or true love."
Zhou Jiyun just pushed the door open and came in. When he heard this, his hands froze: "Auntie Li, what did I do again?"
He quickly recalled everything. He hadn't done anything, so why did he hear such an aggressive remark from Li Ma when he returned? Zhou Jiyun panicked, his eyes drifting towards Xie Jing.
"Is my son-in-law back?" Li Ma's round face lit up with a smile. "Let's get ready for dinner."
Hearing the familiar word "son-in-law", Zhou Jiyun felt relieved immediately. If he had really done something, Aunt Li would have called him "Mr. Zhou".
Xie Jing came over and took his hand: "Auntie Li is talking about Zhou Zhida and Lin Nan."
She quickly recounted the incident of Lin Nan threatening Qi Yan. Zhou Jiyun fell into deep thought: "Qi Yan...what does she look like? Have I ever seen her?"
Yun Xu laughed: "Have you ever seen it? Don't you know it yourself?"
Having said that, Yun Xu quickly found Qi Yan's photo. Zhou Jiyun stared at the photo for a long time, "I feel like she looks familiar. I seem to have seen her somewhere before."
"Let me think..."
Zhou Jiyun had an excellent memory, the kind that could even remember the faces and names of his elementary school classmates. After staring at Qi Yan's photo for a long time, Zhou Jiyun finally dug out this person from the depths of his mind.
"I remember... I think I met her once when I was twenty. She went to see Zhou Zhida at that time, and I never saw her again after that."
He gestured at the length of his hair, "As far as I can remember, she was quite... in today's terms, she looked like a womanizer, and her behavior was frivolous..."
Yun Xu: "Xiao Xiao has some news. It is said that Qi Yan used to work in this field."
Zhou Jiyun understood: "Qi Yan probably came to Zhou Zhida to ask for money at that time. Unfortunately, when I wanted to find Qi Yan again later, I couldn't find her anymore."
"I didn't expect that she was actually Liu Jun's lover and even gave birth to a son for him."
Yun Zhao quickly connected the dots: "In other words, Lin Nan might have some leverage over Zhou Zhida. When Lin Nan left City S, Zhou Zhida might have felt relieved."
"But now, Lin Nan is back and has reunited with Zhou Zhida. Zhou Zhida is so considerate to Lin Nan. It's very likely not because he loves Lin Nan so much, but because Lin Nan knows too much."
Xie Jing had some conspiracy theories: "Let's think about it from another angle. When Lin Nan left Zhou Zhida, was it really because Zhou Zhida wanted to get rid of her, or was it because she sensed danger and wanted to escape quickly?"
"Sister, you're really bold," Yun Xu slapped his thigh, "But... thinking this way, it seems to make sense."
Xie Jing: "It's not that I dare to think about it, think about it, if Lin Nan left Zhou Zhida because she foresaw the danger she was about to face, then why did she return to S City now?"
"Why did she dare to come to S City again? I don't think she wanted to give Zhou Jida a better education as she said. If she really wanted to do it for the good of the child, she should have been self-reliant over the years and not squandered all the money she got from Zhou Zhida."
Yun Zhao followed Xie Jing's lead and guessed, "Because she feels like she has a protective amulet?"
"Zhou Jida?" Zhou Jiyun raised an eyebrow: "Does she think that with Zhou Jida around, Zhou Zhida won't dare to really break up with her? Because in Zhou Jida's heart, she, his biological mother, is the most important?"
Yun Xu spread his hands and said, "This is the most reasonable explanation. So, is there something interesting to watch next?"
"If Zhou Zhida and Lin Nan start a fight, can we just sit back and reap the benefits?"
"Lin Nan is still a patient, and she's now living in Zhou Zhida's house... That doesn't make sense. Why did she insist on staying in a hotel before? Was it just to avoid Zhou Zhida? At least staying in a hotel would make her feel more at ease."
Xie Jing couldn't help but shake her head as she thought about it: "With all these conspiracies, is there any love between Lin Nan and Zhou Zhida?"
Zhou Jiyun didn't care: "Who knows? But Lin Nan and Zhou Zhida, it's clear now that neither of them trusts the other. Perhaps only by putting Lin Nan in front of her can Zhou Zhida feel at ease?"
"I'm just curious now. What secrets does Lin Nan know about Zhou Zhida? Considering what Qi Yan said, could she have direct evidence of Zhou Zhida's murder?"
Yun Xu and Yun Zhao nodded in unison: "It's very possible, but now that Lin Nan has gone to Zhou Zhida, it won't be that easy for us to get close to her, right?"
"Let's put it another way. Even if we get close to her, will she be willing to send Zhou Zhida in? Compared to all this, at least Zhou Zhida being alive would bring her greater benefits, right?"
"After all, she and Zhou Zhida have a son. She definitely hopes that Zhou Zhida is alive so that her son can have more."
Zhou Jiyun laughed: "Even if Zhou Jida has more, it can't be Lin Nan's. The Zhou family has a complete trust organization. Once Zhou Jida goes in, the property that Zhou Jida can get will be managed by the trust organization before he comes of age."
