"But not only did you not reject me, on the contrary you took the initiative to walk towards me. It is always happier to be together than for only one person to take the initiative."
Xie Jing traced Zhou Jiyun's eyebrows with her index finger: "You're so expressive now? Where did you go for further studies?"
Zhou Jiyun opened his mouth and bit Xie Jing's index finger, then released it after a light bite. "I'm just like the people around me. My wife is a very talented woman, so I can't be too lame."
"After staying with you for a long time, I'm bound to learn something."
"That's not just a little bit," Xie Jing stroked his cheek, "That's really impressive."
Zhou Jiyun smiled and squeezed Xie Jing's hand. "The company is holding an annual meeting this Friday. There will be various performances. Why don't you come with me? I guess this will be my last annual meeting at the family company."
Xie Jing lowered her eyes to look at him, and suddenly laughed: "Are there any surprises?"
Zhou Jiyun knew that he couldn't hide it from Xie Jing, so he smiled and said, "Yes, I prepared a little show, I hope you like it."
Xie Jing's lips curled up slightly: "Okay, I'll go."
She suddenly began to look forward to the annual meeting. What gift had Zhou Jiyun prepared for her? High-profile displays of affection were not Zhou Jiyun's style, and he wasn't the kind of person who was so ostentatious.
So what would he perform? Piano or violin? Or singing? Xie Jing's thoughts were clearly scattered. Zhou Jiyun looked at her helplessly: "Jingjing, think about it again, you have figured out the answer already..."
Xie Jing immediately stopped thinking: "Okay, then I'll wait until Friday comes."
"Then let's talk about something else. Your grandfather must be very angry, right? His health isn't very good either." Xie Jing changed the subject: "Didn't Zhou Jida say that last time? The old man died of anger before."
"He could hold on," Zhou Jiyun said softly, "He passed away five years later. Compared to now, his health was undoubtedly still good. At most, he was just a little angry, but he didn't die of anger."
Xie Jing half-hugged his shoulders: "Why don't you contact the old house? After all, you are his grandson..."
Zhou Jiyun smiled and said, "No, I guess the old man will take his anger out on me. Think about it, Zhou Jida left us, and then Jiang Cha's child was gone. Wouldn't he think we were the ones who ordered him to do it?"
Xie Jing thought about it and agreed with this statement: "That Zhou Jida is quite good at passing the buck. The old man knew that Jiang Cha was pregnant, it must have been Zhou Jida who told him. He should have sold you out."
"Whether it's sold or not, that's all," Zhou Jiyun said indifferently, "Since I said it, I thought of this. Now that Zhou Jiwen's child is gone, how do you think Zhou Jiwen feels when he finds out?"
Xie Jing: "When you say that, you sound like a villain."
Zhou Jiyun raised his eyebrows: "So we are taking the villain's path and leaving the villain with no way out?"
Xie Jing: "Maybe. After knowing that he was also reborn, I suddenly felt that your life was really not easy."
Zhou Jiyun smiled and said, "It wasn't easy, but I made it through. I'm so glad you were always here. Do you know how happy I was when you chased Zhou Jida away in person? You really did it. You always sided with me, which really touched me."
Xie Jing kissed his forehead: "If I don't take care of you more and favor you, how lonely you will be?"
Zhou Jiyun brought the topic back to the old house: "Grandpa appears to be partial to my parents, but in fact, his preference is given to Zhou Zhida. Now that Zhou Jiwen is also under investigation, he will not think about what Zhou Zhida and Zhou Jiwen have done in the past. Instead, he will think that the two of them have suffered so much torture and do not deserve it. He will be even more partial to them."
"That's why he was so considerate to Jiang Cha," Xie Jing continued in tacit understanding, "But he never expected that Jiang Cha's child would be gone. He had her right in front of him, and yet something happened."
"Fang Qin must be so angry. Do you think she will blame the old man?"
Zhou Jiyun seemed to have thought of something and suddenly smiled: "There must be resentment in her heart. Even Fang Qin must have been dissatisfied with Grandpa for a long time."
"I remember that not long after my parents passed away, Zhou Zhida was ambitious to get the upper hand. He tried every possible way overtly and covertly over the years, but grandpa just wouldn't give in."
"I guess Fang Qin has been accumulating a lot of resentment towards Grandpa for a long time. Otherwise, why would she run around for Zhou Jiwen all these years? Helping him find daughters from various wealthy families?"
Xie Jing paused as she touched Zhou Jiyun's hair. Zhou Jiyun smiled and said, "I'm fine. I've gotten through any difficult times."
Xie Jing sighed: "I feel like you were just a small person back then, but you had to deal with so many calculations."
Zhou Jiyun is used to pretending to be pitiful: "Then Jingjing, please love me more in the future, and I will love you too. I won't let you make all the sacrifices alone."
Xie Jing laughed: "I only prefer you."
Zhou Jiyun smiled complacently: "Then when you go to the capital, if you see Xiao Bo, you must not look at him too much."
Xie Jing was speechless: "I don't even know Xiao Bo."
Zhou Jiyun made a very good point: "I have asked Brother Xu about this. He said that the Xiao family had intended to arrange a marriage with the Yun family. If you hadn't had these things happen to you, you would have been Xiao Bo's fiancée."
"But I'm married to you now," Xie Jing said softly, "This is fate destined by God. I'm your wife, and I only see you. I won't see anyone else."
"No matter how outstanding Xiao Bo is, or how close the Xiao and Yun families are, we are already married. And we are good together, and no one can destroy our relationship."
Zhou Jiyun was immediately coaxed by Xie Jing: "Really? Even if you meet Xiao Bo in the future, you won't look at him differently?"
"Really?" Xie Jing patiently reassured him, "Am I the kind of person who's fickle?"
"Of course not," Zhou Jiyun finally smiled: "I don't feel very secure, and I always feel that I am not worthy of you. Your parents are very good, and you have very good relatives."
"And I'm practically alone now. I have a little money, but you're rich and talented too... Now looking back, I feel like I'm not worthy of you in any way."
"No," Xie Jing said seriously, "When I was the eldest daughter of the Xie family, even though the Xie family was considered wealthy, in terms of material conditions, compared to you, I was still out of my league."
"Have I ever thought that I'm not worthy of you? No, I never thought that I was above your level."
"So don't have those thoughts. Even if you're alone now, it's not your fault. If your parents heard this, they would be heartbroken."
"They can't grow up with you, not because they don't want to, but because they can't. Besides, you're not alone, don't you still have me? We agreed that we'll always be together."
Zhou Jiyun's depressed mood immediately disappeared: "Yes, I am not alone now."
