Zhu Weidong sat on the sofa holding his daughter. He was stiff and dared not move. Niuniu stretched out her little hands in his arms and grabbed upwards. He lowered his head and let his daughter's little hands touch his face.
He was the only one in the living room, no one else was there. Ji Ling sat down next to him, leaned over to look at her daughter, and asked, "Where are grandpa and grandma?"
"Going out for a walk." Zhu Weidong looked up, his eyes were deep. Being stared at by him, it seemed like he was filled with deep affection, which would make your heart tremble slightly.
Ji Ling inexplicably recalled the madness that the two of them had just experienced in the afternoon. Zhu Weidong seemed to be a cold person, but in terms of married life, he was passionate and crazy, like a wild beast that had been trapped in the abyss for a long time. The greed that burst out of his eyes could penetrate directly into your bones.
At this moment, the man looked at you indifferently, affectionate but ruthless, with a gentle smile.
"I heard from Yaowu that you made new friends when you returned to Beixian this time?"
"Yes, cousin Zheng Shi is also from the capital, working in the Ministry of Finance. He looks quite young, but I didn't expect him to be such a high-ranking official."
Zhu Weidong said, "It seems like we can get along well."
This is an affirmative sentence.
Ji Ling admired the man in front of her, savoring his handsomeness, his calmness, and his temperament, and didn't notice at all that the man's smile was becoming increasingly gentle.
If Zhu Yaowu saw this at this moment, he would definitely be alert at the first moment.
His eldest brother was very unhappy, very unhappy.
"A very calm person, very similar to you." Ji Ling was 'seduced' into saying what was in her mind.
But Zhu Weidong clearly felt that her tone paused.
He leaned closer, his voice a little hoarse, and gradually guided her, "Anything else?"
"Looks like a friend of mine."
At this time, Ji Ling was completely mesmerized by the beauty. "He gave me the Jade Dew, and my friend also gave me a pot of it. Isn't it a coincidence that we look alike and gave each other the same flowers?"
The two were close, close enough that they could feel each other's breath.
Ji Ling looked at Zhu Weidong and smiled at her. With his gentle tone, her face slowly turned red.
"I just felt like we could get along well." She blushed and felt guilty.
For some reason, she felt that he had seen through all the little thoughts in her heart, from her previous life.
Zhu Weidong sat up straight, his eyes dimmed, and his tone was also indifferent, "He looks like an old friend, and he gave me the same flowers. It seems like we can get along well."
When Ji Ling heard the statement, she felt a chill on her back.
She glanced over secretly and saw that Zhu Weidong's expression was no different from usual. She thought she was being too suspicious. How could he be angry?
Just like that, the two of them suddenly fell silent.
Fortunately, the doorbell rang, breaking the silence.
Ji Ling ran to open the door, feeling strange as to why she used the word "escape".
When the door opened, Ji Ling was stunned to see the person standing outside, as she didn't recognize him.
But she is a great beauty.
She still asked politely, "Hello, who are you?"
The woman just glanced at her indifferently, looked past her at the figure in Puti's living room, pushed Ji Ling aside and walked in.
Ji Ling opened her mouth slightly, closed the door, and followed slowly.
Zhu Weidong stared at the person who came. He didn't rush to speak, and the beautiful woman didn't say anything either. The two of them looked at each other. Others might misunderstand that they were affectionate towards each other, but Ji Ling knew Zhu Weidong's problem and guessed that he was trying to identify who the other person was.
But the beauty obviously misunderstood. Her beautiful face slowly turned red and she called out softly, "You don't recognize me, why are you looking at me like that?"
Ji Ling was also curious about the relationship between this beauty and Zhu Weidong. Judging from the fact that she went straight to Zhu's house and was talking to Zhu Weidong at this time, she must be very familiar with Zhu Weidong.
After looking at the beauty, she looked at Zhu Weidong again.
Zhu Weidong still didn't speak. He looked at the other person quietly and indifferently. However, Ji Ling inexplicably noticed something different. Zhu Weidong was staring at the beautiful woman in a daze. It was not that he didn't know her, but that he recognized her and fell into deep thought, as if he was recalling their past.
Ji Ling knew that this was not her illusion, because the beautiful woman also noticed this. The beautiful woman, who had been smiling before, suddenly had red eyes and rushed over. Fortunately, she still had some sense and knew that Zhu Weidong was holding a baby in his arms, so she leaned on Zhu Weidong's shoulder and sobbed.
Oh no.
Whatever the case may be.
But from Ji Ling's perspective, she was already in a bad mood.
She was looking at Zhu Weidong at this moment, staring at his face and his expression, observing his expression changes, waiting for him to speak, or waiting for him to explain to her.
But after a long time, all I heard was his gentle voice, "Yi Yi."
Zhu Weidong's voice was very low, but the room was very quiet. These two words, which seemed like a murmur, hit Ji Ling's heart hard and hurt her.
After hearing his voice, the beautiful woman hugged him from behind and laughed.
She was very close to Zhu Weidong, and her laughter rang right beside Zhu Weidong's ears, bright and charming, even with a bit of naivety.
After seeing and hearing this, Ji Ling couldn't help but take a few more glances, let alone a man.
At the same time, an idea suddenly rushed into Ji Ling's brain.
It’s not that Zhu Weidong can’t remember people, he remembers the Yi Yi in front of him.
This scene was so hard to break, and she was the superfluous one.
As this realization formed in her mind, Ji Ling's chest began to feel tight.
Fortunately, Mrs. Zhu and her group came back and broke the situation.
The beautiful girl was called Song Yiyi. She also used to live in the compound and grew up with Zhu Weidong. The Zhu and Song families had a very good relationship, and he also took good care of his sister Song Yiyi. However, the Song family did not have good luck in those few years. First, old man Song passed away, followed by Song's father. There were only three women left in the Song family. Old lady Song took her daughter-in-law and granddaughter back to her hometown in the south.
It was inconvenient to contact each other at that time, and we haven’t been in touch for more than 20 years since then.
Now that Song Yi Yi suddenly came to their door, the Zhu family felt emotional and happy. The news that Song Yi Yi brought also made them feel more distressed for her.
After returning to their hometown, Old Mrs. Song passed away not long after, leaving only Song's mother and Song Yiyi and her daughter. Now Song Yiyi has become an actress, and Song's mother's health has been ruined by raising her daughter over the years. This time the mother and daughter returned to the capital, and it was Song Yiyi who strongly requested her mother to come back in order to treat her mother, otherwise her mother would never return to this sad place.
Niu Niu fell asleep, and everyone in the room gathered together. Ji Ling went upstairs under the pretext of sending Niu Niu back to her room.
Zhu Weidong was always hugged by Song Yiyi around the waist. She leaned her head on Zhu Weidong's shoulder. When talking to the Zhu family, she called Zhu Weidong "brother" from time to time.
The Zhu family was so busy being happy that no one noticed the faint smile on Ji Ling's face.
