412 Please Respect Yourself

"No, Comrade Zhou, please respect yourself."

Su Taotao: "..." Is this something she can listen to? Should she wait a while before going out?

Zhou Weining pursed his lips. Self-respect? So his behavior was disrespectful in his eyes?

Zhou Weining gritted his teeth and said, "Comrade Zhang, I like you. I know you don't have a partner, but I don't want to give up."

Zhang Jing'an half-closed his eyes, spat out the cigarette butt in his mouth, and crushed it with his shoe.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in dating and you're not my type."

I was hurt so badly by women in my previous life.

Zhang Jing'an was not lying. He had finally gotten rid of that woman in his life and had just escaped from the wolf's den. He had no intention of falling into another trap.

He really had no intention of dating anyone.

It is still unknown whether I will stay in the country in the future, at least I have no plans to do so for the time being.

The last time Zhou Weining suffered a setback was because of Fu Zhengtu. It wasn't because she gave up easily, but because she knew that Fu Zhengtu had Su Taotao. No matter how much she liked him or how shameless she was, she couldn't possibly cling to a married man.

Zhang Jing'an is one of the few people she likes besides Fu Zhengtu. Zhou Weining knows what it means to like someone, and she knows how rare it is to like someone, just like she knows that she doesn't like Mo Jiazhe, so this time, she doesn't want to let go easily.

"Think about it carefully. I'll wait for you."

After Zhou Weining finished speaking, he turned and left.

Su Taotao had no time to retreat and ran into her face to face.

Zhou Weining's face turned pale, but he was relieved when he saw it was Su Taotao. He shook his head at her, gritted his teeth, took her hand and walked out.

I walked until I reached another empty place where no one was around and then let go.

Zhou Weining said self-deprecatingly: "You heard everything, didn't you? Do you think I'm particularly shameless? Do you want to make fun of me?"

Su Taotao shook her head: "How can it be shameful for an unmarried man and unmarried woman to like someone? You are very brave, you have expressed it, you have fought for it, you have no regrets whether you succeed or not, how can I laugh at you?"

Zhou Weining is a very careless and neurotic girl most of the time.

But in essence, it is a rare liveliness in this era.

Her good family background gave her great confidence. She has no inferiority complex and dares to love and hate. She has everything and does not want to settle. She just wants to find someone she likes to be with. Many people are jealous of her, so how can it be a joke?

Zhou Weining didn't expect Su Taotao to say that.

She curled her lips and said, "But what's the use? I feel like my feelings are always out of place. I don't like the people who like me, and the people I like don't like me. It's always out of place, oh!"

Su Taotao couldn't respond to this. The last person Zhou Weining liked was her husband, and the one who liked her but she didn't like was today's groom...

"Love is about mutual affection and cannot be forced. One-sided willingness will not produce results." Considering her relationship with Zhou Weining, it was already a sign of their deep friendship to talk about this. For the sake of Fu Zhengtu and Zhou Zheng, it would be impolite to continue the conversation.

"I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

Zhou Weining nodded and said sincerely, "Thank you."

She still wanted to try again, but if it didn't work she wouldn't keep fighting.

Su Taotao returned to the parking lot and saw Zhang Jingan still smoking there, with a few cigarette butts on the ground.

"Would you mind giving me a ride?" Zhang Jing'an asked casually.

Su Taotao got into the driver's seat and said, "Come on in."

"Thank you." Zhang Jing'an got in the car, closed his eyes tiredly, and said nothing.

Su Taotao naturally wouldn't rush to ask.

When the car left the sentry post, Zhang Jingan suddenly opened his eyes and said hoarsely: "You heard everything, didn't you?"

Su Taotao glanced at the rearview mirror and lied with her eyes wide open: "I didn't hear anything. I'm not interested in anything other than work."

She is not an expert in relationships, and she chats with Zhou Weining for Zhou Zheng's sake.

Zhang Jingan gave her a very strange feeling. They were not that familiar with each other, and she had no intention of getting involved in this mess.

Zhang Jingan laughed at himself and muttered to himself: "You are different from before, very different, like a different person."

Su Taotao frowned, that strange feeling came back again. Judging from the original body's memory, they were not familiar with each other. Judging from the original plot, it was "Su Taotao" who abandoned her husband and children and returned to the city to marry Xu Jiadong. After Zhang Jingan and Xu Jialian got married, they began to have more interactions.

Before this, there shouldn't have been much interaction between them.

Every time Zhang Jing'an gave her the feeling that they were very familiar with each other in the past, and being with him often made Su Taotao feel an uncomfortable sense of questioning and probing. It might not be malicious, but it just made people feel uncomfortable.

"People always change. We weren't very familiar with each other before, so it's normal for me to change so much." She is Su Taotao no matter what, there is no point in questioning her.

Zhang Jingan rarely showed his emotions. When he realized it, he felt a little regretful: "Sorry, that's not what I meant. By the way, there is still a small problem with the land deed. Someone disagrees..."

Zhang Jingan cleverly changed the topic and got back to work.

Su Taotao naturally cooperated and kept chatting until they got to the factory. When Zhang Jingan got out of the car, Su Taotao remembered something she had been ignoring:

She did not abandon her husband and children and return to the city to renew her relationship with Xu Jiadong because "Su Taotao" had a new heart.

What about Zhang Jing'an?

Why didn't he marry Xu Jialian? He also gave up his promising job as a Public Security Bureau secretary and came to work as a secretary in her small, shabby factory.

Why is this?

Is it because her appearance changed the plot, that "Su Taotao" did not marry Xu Jiadong, did not become sister-in-law with Xu Jialian, and caused Xu Jialian and Zhang Jing'an to be unable to become husband and wife?

But the plot of "Su Taotao" seems to have nothing to do with Zhang Jing'an. The original novel doesn't seem to mention it much, and she really can't remember the direction of Zhang Jing'an's plot.

But in the original novel, Zhang Jing'an was the secretary of the Public Security Bureau and was married to Xu Jialian. Even if they divorced later, he should have no emotional connection with Zhou Weining, right?

Since I can't figure it out, I won't think about it anymore. It has nothing to do with her anyway.

Her parents and brothers have seen it all, and there is nothing wrong with it. Su Taotao no longer has to worry about the future. Living a good life now is more important than anything else.

Even if Zhang Jingan was reborn, it had nothing to do with her.

Rebirth?

This thought suddenly popped up in her mind, and Su Taotao's eyebrows jumped.

The possibility of Zhang Jing'an's rebirth is actually very high, otherwise he and Xu Jialian were childhood sweethearts and were about to get married, so why didn't they get married?

It is very likely that he did not jump into the fire pit because he knew in advance who Xu Jialian was.

Then his doubts and explorations of "Su Taotao" would be valid.

Because "Su Taotao's" life trajectory is completely different from her previous life.

This also explains why he gave up his position as Secretary of the Public Security Bureau and came to work as Secretary for "Su Taotao".

Because the difference between this Su Taotao and that "Su Taotao" is so huge, he is probably full and has nothing to do, so he wants to figure out what is going on.

This also explains Zhang Jingan's sophistication and composure that are not suitable for his age.

Su Taotao was almost certain that he was reborn.

His life in his previous life was not satisfactory, and he might have wanted to live a life different from that in his previous life, so he came to her, the "variable", to seek a new way of life.

What is going on?

Su Taotao pinched her painful brows.

It seems that she was still careless. She needs to be extra careful with this man in the future and not let him catch any handle on her, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.
