Chapter 278 Inexplicable Smile
Also, what Zhou Zongzheng didn't say is...
At the moment when Xie Zhaode had the accident, the real Xie Tingke was not dead.
"Xie Tingke", who was about to replace the other person's identity, appeared on the scene. "Xie Tingke" looked at the boy coldly. At that time, he was considering what concealment measures to take after replacing the other person's identity.
He also searched the boy's body and saw that he was holding a pocket watch tightly in his hand.
When he opened the pocket watch, he found a photo of a mother and daughter.
The beautiful and dignified woman is Xie Shiyuan's biological mother.
The child in the woman's arms was Xie Shiyuan, who was less than two years old.
The mother told them that this was the real Xie Tingke’s sister.
Zhou Zongren took over this identity, but he must not inherit this emotion. The Xie family was not his family. Their only value was to be a stepping stone and provide him with a safe haven.
However, the mother and daughter of the Xie family are docile, timid and easy to control. As long as he shows friendliness to them appropriately, he will be accepted by the mother and daughter of the Xie family first. With the acceptance of his original wife, his life will be much better.
At that time, "Xie Tingke" disdained this acceptance. He took the pocket watch from the boy and threw it coldly on the ground.
On the day before he went to Xie's house, he had already shown his cold attitude.
He regarded the Xie family as a safe haven. When he was in danger and had nowhere to go as a child, he found a relatively stable environment for him to grow up.
When he grew up, all the crises of his childhood disappeared into thin air.
No one could intimidate or threaten him anymore. Even his elder brother had to rely on his help when he first gained a foothold in the Zhou family.
However, Zhou Zongzheng forced Xie Tingke to the point of falling off a cliff... No matter how you look at it, he is the more shameless one.
No wonder Xie Tingke said he was a despicable person.
He coldly watched Xie Tingke replace someone else's identity to enter the Xie family, coldly watched Xie Tingke compete with other forces in the Xie family, and because he saw that Xie Tingke had gained his mother's love and sister, he ordered him to abandon them.
He has been holding Xie Tingke hostage by claiming to be his brother, demanding that he obey his orders in everything, and repeatedly reminding him with the word "revenge".
In fact, what Xie Shiyuan said was right. In recent years, Xie Tingke was not as glorious as he seemed.
The fact that Xie Tingke finally fell in love with Xie Shiyuan proved his true inner thoughts.
He never gave up on her, he just didn't dare... because he had too many secrets and was afraid that if he took a wrong step, he would be doomed.
"He..." Zhou Zongzheng hesitated for a moment, "You said he won't die?"
"I don't know." Xie Shiyuan shook his head.
Zhou Zongzheng: "......"
She had just sworn that Xie Tingke would not die, but now she doesn't know.
"What would you do if he died?" Zhou Zongzheng said, "After all, he was so impulsive because of you."
"I don't know." Xie Shiyuan still shook his head, "I'm hungry."
Zhou Zongzheng: "......"
An unresolved topic.
"I'm really hungry." Xie Shiyuan pulled the man's sleeve tightly, "I want to see Bai Jiashu..."
Zhou Zongzheng brushed her hand away.
"Go find Bai Jiashu."
Xie Shiyuan curled her lips and stared at the man's back. He walked very fast and she followed his steps, leaving deep pits with each step she took.
Zhou Zongzheng glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, his face was cold, his thin lips slightly raised, as if he was smiling.
Xie Shiyuan stepped even harder, and Zhou Zongzheng couldn't help but quicken his pace.
He looked back at Xie Shiyuan, and Xie Shiyuan stopped halfway.
The little fox's strange eyes were filled with a strong color.
Seeing the twinkling light in these eyes, Zhou Zongzheng seemed to be in a trance for a moment, as if he saw his past self.
"Aren't you hungry? I'll take you to eat." The man's dangerous eyes turned interested, as if he was teasing a puppy.
Xie Shiyuan stood there without saying a word, remaining silent.
Zhou Zongzheng stared at her coldly.
Xie Shiyuan suddenly stepped forward and took his hand.
Zhou Zongzheng was slightly stunned.
Xie Shiyuan held his hand tightly, raised his head and gave the man a faint smile.
Zhou Zongzheng looked at the smile, feeling inexplicably dazed.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at you for being so hypocritical. You said you wanted to kill me, but in the end..." Xie Shiyuan raised an eyebrow, "You didn't want to do this at all. It's strange that I became the person you didn't want to kill."
"Don't think you know me very well." Zhou Zongzheng said sarcastically.
Xie Shiyuan exerted a little more strength and held the man's hand, "Will Bai Jiashu die?"
"Hmm?" Zhou Zongzheng narrowed his eyes.
"He's very good. I don't want him to die." Xie Shiyuan seemed to be confiding, "He's better than all of you. He never bullies me. Why do you all like to bully me?"
Zhou Zongzheng quickened his pace. "Is it appropriate to use the word bully to describe someone who almost killed you just now?"
"Why do you want to kill me? Putting aside the factor of Xie Tingke, what did I do to make you unhappy?" The little fox looked at her innocent big eyes.
Zhou Zongzheng resisted the urge to pinch her cheeks, and clenched his large hands behind his back into fists, "You are so beautiful, I can't help but want to bully you."
"You are very beautiful too, but I don't want to bully you." Xie Shiyuan said boldly.
A fierce look flashed in the man's eyes. "Say it again."
Xie Shiyuan remained silent and turned away his eyes.
Zhou Zongzheng shook off her hand, and she grabbed it again helplessly.
"You really look like Xie Tingke. He is exactly like you. When I grab his hand, he will find all kinds of reasons to shake it off."
"He is not Xie Tingke." Zhou Zongzheng didn't mind the reminder.
Xie Shiyuan pursed his lips and asked, "Did you kill the real Xie Tingke?"
no.
This is the answer.
Zhou Zongzheng said, "So what?"
He paid attention to Xie Shiyuan's expression.
Seeing the unconcealable disappointment in the girl's eyes, he added: "It's been too long, I can't remember clearly."
Xie Shiyuan's eyes lit up.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at the restaurant.
In the suffocatingly quiet environment, the servants held their breath and presented the delicious dishes in an orderly manner.
This time, there were no bloody lamb chops.
These are all Xie Shiyuan’s favorites.
I don’t know where Zhou Zongzhen found so many strange and exotic foods. Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, but there is also a special chef standing by to carefully garnish the dishes.
Xie Shiyuan had never been alone with Zhou Zongzhen in such an environment.
She looked at the man and the man looked at her.
When their eyes met, they seemed to smell a familiar fragrance in the air.
Zhou Zongzheng took a deep sniff and smiled inexplicably.
Xie Shiyuan picked up a piece of bloody steak with a fork.
The smile on Zhou Zongzheng's lips became even more inexplicable.
