Chapter 57 Guilt is soft and long-lasting



Xie Jing held her chin in her hand as she listened to Zhou Jiyun's words. She seemed to see a little boy who, in order to make his mother happy, changed into a little skirt he didn't like and cooperated with his mother to take pictures...

"Would you dislike me saying this?" After briefly talking about his past interactions with his parents, Zhou Jiyun suddenly thought of Xie Jing and her distant relationship with her family, and worried that this would touch Xie Jing's sensitive spot.

Xie Jing shrugged. "No, I'm not that sensitive. I really enjoy hearing you say this. In fact, I'm envious. I envy the relationship between you and your parents. It's so touching."

Zhou Jiyun held Xie Jing's hand and said, "I'm glad I didn't make you feel bad. I don't really like to talk about my parents. After my dad passed away, my grandfather rarely mentioned him. Every year around the anniversary of my parents' death, my grandfather would get sick."

Xie Jing: "Hearing you say that, Grandpa is worried. Last time you told me that Mom and Dad's death wasn't purely an accident? If it really was an accident, Grandpa should have let it go after all these years."

"But now that Grandpa is so concerned about it, I guess there's something behind it."

Zhou Jiyun frowned. "Yes, but I haven't got any evidence yet. The people I sent out haven't found the person yet. And grandpa won't say anything. The police also closed the case as an accident."

"I always feel that it's done too cleanly, and precisely because it's too clean, it's more worthy of suspicion."

Xie Jing understood what Zhou Jiyun meant: "If it was really your second uncle who did it, he is not easy to deal with."

Zhou Jiyun snorted coldly: "I've known for a long time that he's not easy to deal with. If Fang Qin's evil is out in the open, then Zhou Zhida's evil is hidden within. He's like a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows. He either doesn't strike, or when he does, it's a fatal blow."

Take him, for example. Didn't he die at the hands of Zhou Zhida in his previous life? Even Xie Jing's accident was inextricably linked to Zhou Zhida's family. Almost everyone in his family had died because of Zhou Zhida's family, and this blood debt must be paid.

Xie Jing: "Grandpa has been in charge of the family company for so many years, and he didn't hand it over to him, and he has no objection? He can actually tolerate it?"

Zhou Jiyun also fell into deep thought: "I think my parents' accident has something to do with him. If it's not related, he has worked diligently for so many years and has managed the company well. Why would grandpa have to hand the company over to me?"

Xie Jing also figured out the logic behind this: "So you suspect Grandpa knows something, and he insists on you taking over the family company as a way to make amends to you?"

"It's highly likely. I can't think of any other reason besides this." Zhou Jiyun smiled and said, "Guilt is a soft and long-lasting emotion. It will exist for a long time, appearing from time to time to remind you of its existence."

"When we were little, Grandpa was very fair to Zhou Jiwen and me. Whatever I had, Zhou Jiwen also had. But since my parents passed away unexpectedly, Grandpa has given me more and more things."

"Shares, luxury cars, famous watches, yachts, villas, etc., as long as he can think of it, grandpa gave me everything. On the contrary, Zhou Jiwen has none of these. With this comparison, I vaguely guessed that grandpa wanted to make it up to me."

Xie Jing deliberately made the topic lighter: "Rich people, I envy them just by hearing that."

"Rich people listen to you," Zhou Jiyun also smiled. "If you're willing, I'll transfer all this to you later. From now on, I'll work for Jingjing, and Jingjing will just give me some pocket money every day."

Xie Jing scratched his chin like she was petting a cat. "Really? Aren't you afraid that if others find out, they'll say you're henpecked?"

"I'm happy to," Zhou Jiyun said with a smile, "Jingjing, you're willing to take care of me. I can't tell you how happy I am. If you don't care about me, who would bother with others?"

"I like you to control me. It would be even better if I could take you with me wherever I go."

Xie Jing was overwhelmed by Zhou Jiyun's stickiness and greasiness. She withdrew her hand and said, "So you kept all these things that Grandpa gave you?"

Zhou Jiyun was particularly happy: "Since Grandpa dared to give it to me, I dared to accept it. Even if I don't use it, I don't want Zhou Zhida's family to get it for free."

"Then your second uncle's family will be furious. Your second aunt doesn't look like a tolerant person."

Zhou Jiyun said calmly, "She's the most competitive and strong-willed person. When my parents were still around, she often argued with my mom. Didn't I tell you? Ever since my parents passed away, there's been an endless stream of people around me."

"These are all Fang Qin's work, and of course Zhou Zhida's help is also indispensable."

Xie Jing thought about it and nodded. "Now that I think about it, you're quite determined. Tell me, are those people pretty?"

Zhou Jiyun's will to survive is always online: "I can't remember many of their faces, they should all be good-looking, right? But when I think about the disgusting interests behind them, how can I possibly get involved with them?"

Xie Jing raised her eyebrows, feeling that Zhou Jiyun never forgot to tell her that he had never been moved by anyone, and his desire to survive was really invincible.

"Liu Liming and Xie Xuerong were not good to me. I'm not talking about material things, but spiritual things." Xie Jing stopped asking about Zhou Zhida and talked about her own experience.

Zhou Jiyun nodded slightly: "I can see that they care more about your younger brothers and sisters. Of course, they love Xie Wuyang the most. They say they love him, but in fact, all their money and energy are given to Xie Wuyang."

Xie Jing chuckled, "Yes, Xie Wuyang is the most beloved person in the Xie family. Xie Xuerong was afraid that I would compete with Xie Wuyang, so he made me study art since I was young. I obviously didn't take the art exam route, but took the college entrance examination normally, and even my scores were very good, but in the end I still got into the music department."

Zhou Zhiyong's Adam's apple moved up and down: "So... do you want to change your major? Study your favorite major again?"

Xie Jing thought about it and shook her head: "After all these years of studying, I have developed feelings for it. Forget it, I found that I seem to have some talent."

"It's more than just a few points! You're so talented!" Zhou Jiyun rubbed Xie Jing's head with his backhand: "You're really talented. Every time I listen to your songs, I always wonder, how can you create such beautiful songs?"

Xie Jing was stunned: "You know my song?"

"Lin Jing, of course I know you." Zhou Jiyun said without hesitation: "I often listen to your songs. I have been following you since you started releasing songs in your sophomore year."

To be honest, his relationship with Xie Jing in his previous life only started to heat up after he discovered that Xie Jing was actually Lin Jing. After discovering Xie Jing's pseudonym, he and Xie Jing gradually had more topics to talk about and gradually became close.

So how could Zhou Jiyun not be familiar with Lin Jing's account?
