Chapter 156: Astringent

Qing's sister-in-law has always had a grudge against Zhou Yanqing, and she is still haunted by her daughter's death to this day and can't let go.

Zhou Yanqing could naturally feel her hostility towards herself, smiled slightly, and said firmly: "You won't." ”

Sister-in-law laughed, and the laughter was full of sarcasm. He raised an eyebrow, "Then why are you sitting here now?" I'm just a very ordinary servant, and you're the fifth master." Why do you want to sit in front of me with condescension?"

Her eyes swept over the things he had placed on the table and wrapped in plastic bags, and said with a smile: "I can't imagine that there is such a thing in the back mountain, what could it be?"

Zhou Yanqing didn't care what she said. I only picked up the cup and took a sip, moistened my throat, and said lightly: "I know that you hate me very much, in your eyes, Xun Xun died because of me, and I also feel very sorry, this matter has also been in my heart, and I can't let go." ”

Sister-in-law Qing sneered, her eyes full of contempt and resentment, "Really, how do I think you've been doing very well all along?"

He raised his eyes, there was not the slightest smile in his eyes, he only looked at her quietly, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Don't you want to know who caused the car accident? Shouldn't the person who really killed the flood be the one who designed the car accident?"

Sister-in-law Qing only smiled and did not speak, only bowed her head and touched her gloved hand. It doesn't seem to care who is behind this. Throw wood blood.

"If I say that the person who designed this car accident was my father, Zhou Jingyang. ”

Sister-in-law Qing's hand moved, and the expression on her face froze.

Zhou Yanqing opened the cool white in his hand back to the table, "The person who wants me to die is my father, but it's a pity that ......"

"Shut up for me!" Sister-in-law Qing slapped the table hard, glared at him for a moment, then laughed, and said, "You want to provoke the relationship between me and the master? Do you think I will believe you in this way?"

"Besides, what if the old man did it? Damn it, it's you, not Xun Xun! You also said it, the old man is going for you, why don't you die! Why do you want Xun Xun to replace you! Don't you think it's ridiculous to tell me this now?"

Sister-in-law Qing was a little excited. The expression on his face also became a little hideous and terrifying, holding the cup tightly in his hand, and the whole person leaned forward, as if he would pounce and bite in the next second.

Sister-in-law Qing hated him in her heart for many years, and this hatred had long seeped into her blood and bones, and now she can do everything.

Zhou Yanqing was not afraid at all, "Xun Xun is my own sister, right?"

Sister-in-law Qing pursed her lips and did not answer.

"He could have reminded you, didn't he? But why didn't he do it? You should know very well that I was walking with Xun Xun at the time, and the car was driving towards the two of us, but my mother only pulled me, and Xun Xun went to pick up things. ”

"The driver can stop. Why don't you keep stop? Do you really think that my father will let a child who will affect his reputation at any time stay in this world? You turned against my mother, isn't it because of this incident? In the end, didn't my father use you to completely disintegrate the power of the Dou family from within the company?"

The corners of his lips twitched, "Do you really think that you have affection? Do you really think that a person like my father will have a sincere heart?"

Sister-in-law Qing's face became more and more pale, and she didn't even have the ability to refute his words.

Zhou Yanqing stretched out her hand and tapped the position of the index finger and middle finger of her glove, which were empty, and tapped the ring finger again, which was still empty.

"You still lost to my mother in the end, didn't you?" Zhou Yanqing smiled, "No, it should be said that you never won." Everything you want to see, Zhou Jingyang will never help you achieve it, you should know it very well in your heart. ”

Before the words fell, Sister-in-law Qing raised her hand, slammed the cup in her hand on the ground, sharpened her throat, and said, "Don't say it!"

Zhou Yanqing shut up in response, but he also said it very clearly.

"Xun Xun died in place of you! She died in place of you! If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have died at all! If Dou Lanying could pull one more person, she wouldn't have to die! But Dou Lanying didn't! No! She also pretended to tell me that she would take care of our mother and son, and would treat Xun Xun as her own daughter! But what happened? Xun Xun was killed by your mother and son!" Her eyes were full of tears, her eyes were slanted, her neck was stalked, and she looked a little nervous.

Her eyes widened, and the resentment in her eyes deepened, "Dou Lanying deserves to die, you deserve to die! Cheng Xunxun deserves to die too! Your children also deserve to die! Flood Xun is dead, why do you live a good life! You deserve retribution! Retribution!"

Zhou Yanqing looked at her quietly, and when she finished venting, she smiled slightly, stood up, picked up the bag stained with mud on the table, looked at her condescendingly, and said: "You shouldn't go back to Zhou's house, you have such a good relationship with my mother, and you are pregnant with the child that Zhou admired, I don't know what the purpose is." Knowing whose child Flood is and you still have to insist on coming back, you know what the purpose is. ”

"Sister-in-law Qing, do you dare to say that you have always been frank and have a clear conscience?"

Zhou Yanqing didn't wait for her to answer, she took her things and prepared to leave.

"I won't let Xun Xun die in vain! You're sorry for her! You're the one who killed her!" Qing's sister-in-law stood up abruptly and roared at his back.

However, Zhou Yanqing did not stop at all, and left straight away.

The glass door closed, and when his figure completely disappeared in front of him, Sister-in-law Qing whimpered, sat down on the chair, looked up at the roof of the glass flower room, tears slowly slipped from the corners of her eyes, and after a while, she shouted heartbreakingly, and stopped shouting until she couldn't make a sound at all.

After shouting, she leaned softly on the chair as if she had lost her strength, her whole person was a little distracted, and her eyes were full of despair. After a long time, he laughed again, laughing and crying, and then got up and went crazy and destroyed all the plants in the glass flower house, and when the gardener came in, it was already a mess.

But the sister-in-law was like a normal person, sitting abruptly at the table, drinking tea with a teacup, and when she saw the visitor, she said lightly: "Clean up here, be sure to clean it up." ”

Her voice was hoarse and a little unpleasant.

The gardener paused, said nothing, and only buried himself in his work.

……

When An Yu went to the police station, he met Zhou Jingyang and Pan Zhao at the door.

Zhou Jingyang's face was pale, there was no expression on his face, he lowered his head slightly and walked straight out, not wanting to face those cameras.

Fortunately, this was at the entrance of the police station, and those reporters were kept on the periphery and did not have to face their aggressive questions, but they still felt faceless.

"Hello. Anyu stopped and greeted him politely.

Zhou Jingyang raised his eyes and glanced at her when he heard the sound, nodded his head, and then seemed to think of something, looked back at her, and said, "Come to the house at night, I have something to ask you." ”

"Yes. Anyu nodded.

Zhou Jingyang didn't stop long, and quickly left the police station.

An Yu talked to the police, and they took her to see Zhou Yanzhen.

Zhou Yanzhen is still dressed in a straight suit, and he stayed in the detention center for one night, and he didn't even mess up his hair. The two sat in the interrogation room, and An Yu lowered his eyes and did not look at him.

After waiting for a long time, Zhou Yanzhen didn't take the initiative to speak, but she could feel that his gaze never took off her. This feeling is very uncomfortable.

She clasped her hands between her legs, straightened her back slightly, and finally couldn't hold her breath and spoke, "The lawyer called me and said you want to see me." ”

"Hmm. Zhou Yanzhen only responded lightly.

Anyu thought he would say something, but no, he just answered and didn't speak again, as if he was forcing her with silence. Forced her to take the initiative to speak, forced her to say all this herself.

She frowned slightly and said, "The visit is not long, what do you want to tell me?"

"When the time comes, you will come back tomorrow. ”

She raised her eyes, and met his unfathomable gaze, and she couldn't see his joy or anger, let alone what was going on in his heart. But his eyes were cold, and he didn't have the slightest emotion, so he looked at her like this.

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"There's nothing you want to say?" he asked.

An Lu pursed her lips, her face was very bad when she woke up this morning, her makeup was a little thick today, but she still couldn't hide her paleness.

She looked away and said, "No, I don't have anything to say." I will try my best to save you, and I will cooperate with everything I can. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yanzhen sneered, shook his head, and asked, "Will you?"

Her eyes moved slightly, and she nodded, saying, "I will." ”

"Do you think I'll believe you at a time like this?"

An Xuan pursed her lips and did not speak.

"Anyu, this is the first time I trust you, and the last time I trust you, after all, you still let me down. Zhou Yanzhen's voice was low and deep, without much emotion, only a faint statement.

An Yu's eyes moved, still don't look over, the hands clasped together tightened, and he didn't speak.

After a while, An Yu secretly took a breath, turned his head to meet his gaze again, and said, "It's almost time, I'll go first." In the evening, I will go to Zhou's house and discuss with the old man how to rescue you. ”

She stood up as she spoke, strapping her bag on her back.

Zhou Yanzhen's eyebrows moved slightly, pursed his lips, suppressed his emotions, and said, "Can't you give me an explanation?" I know it's you, and there will be no one else except you. ”

An Yu stopped, turned his back to him and didn't turn around, put his hands in front of him, raised his lips slightly, and continued to struggle, "It's not me." ”

Zhou Yanzhen smiled, "Come to think of it, you won't tell me the truth." I have only one request. ”

She didn't speak, she didn't leave at once, she just waited for him to finish.

"Give birth to him. ”

When An Yu heard this, his heart tightened, he was slightly dumbfounded, he turned his head to look at him suddenly, opened his mouth slightly, but he couldn't say a word, his throat seemed to be stuck with something, and he couldn't make a sound at all.

Zhou Yanzhen tilted his head slightly and looked at her.

Suddenly, she felt her nose sour and her eyes hot, quickly turned her head, swallowed her saliva hard, and tried to calm her mood. She didn't expect him to know.

After a moment, she said coldly, "I don't know what you're talking about. ”

"I see the results. I don't know what you're planning in mind, but I want you to give birth and when I come out, I'll take the baby away. ”

The emotions churning in An Yu's heart were already a little uncontrollable, including the expression on his face. She bit her lip hard, took a breath, and said, "Why?"

"That's my child, and I have the right to it. His voice was as calm as ever, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

An Yu clasped his wrist tightly, his nails digging into the flesh, oozing a little blood. The faint pain in my heart reappeared, and my heart was uncomfortable. She also wanted to ask why, why this child, she thought he would hate her very much, but he was so calm and calm.

She didn't understand it, and naturally she didn't want to understand.

In the end, she didn't say anything and reached out and pulled the door open.

"As long as you give birth to this child, I can care about what you do. ”

She only chuckled and walked away without looking back.

Zhou Yanzhen pursed his lips, took a breath, and closed his eyes. When I opened it again, my expression returned to normal.

In the evening, An Yu did not go to Zhou's house, but only called Zhou Jingyang, saying that he couldn't go back if he had something to do, so he also shirked the past. Listening to Zhou Jingyang's attitude, Zhou Yanzhen didn't seem to say anything to him, just hung up the phone after just saying a few words, and didn't force her to pass.

I don't know if this old fox really doesn't know, or if it's fake.

……

Zhou Chan saw all the experiences of the Zhou family, and finally she couldn't hold her breath, took a stack of newspapers, and went directly to the door.

Just as he was about to ring the doorbell, the closed door opened from the inside.

She was startled, but quickly calmed down, was polite, and said, "Hello, I'm here to find Chen Nanmu." ”

"Zhou Chan?"

Zhou Chan paused, squinted her eyes, looked at the person in front of her carefully, and didn't remember where she had seen this person after thinking for a long time.

"You're back. ”

"Let her in. Chen Nanmu had already heard movement inside.

The person standing in front of Zhou Chan picked his lips, glanced back at the people in the room, and said, "Big brother, you don't have a long memory?"

"It's time for you to go. Chen Nanmu ignored him, pushed the wheelchair and turned away.

"Okay, I'm leaving. Don't be foolish. He glanced at Zhou Chan deeply, then made a gesture and motioned for her to get out of the way.

Zhou Chan could feel his hostility, and quickly took a step to the side, not having the heart to confront him.

Before he entered the elevator, he glanced sideways in the direction of Zhou Chan, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he entered the elevator.

She didn't even change her shoes, she rushed straight to him, threw the newspaper in his face, and said, "You did it, didn't you?"

Chen Nanmu frowned, raised his eyes to look at her, with a trace of anger in his eyes, and said, "What do you want to say?"

Zhou Chan opened her mouth, but Chen Nanmu continued for her, "We can't do this, we have to stop, and if you don't stop, you can tell Zhou Jingyang." Is that so?"

Zhou Chan looked at him with burning eyes, and in just a few words, the arrogance on her body was lost by him, and he only slowly squatted down, covering the back of his hand, almost pleading, and said, "Can you do it in a different way? Do you have to do this? Don't let go of each one?"

Chen Nanmu smiled and said, "At the beginning, my grandfather had three sons and two daughters. If they were all still there, how many people do you think we should have in our family?"

The two looked at each other for a moment, Zhou Chan turned her gaze, slowly let go of her hand, and stood up, "I can't be a cold bystander, those are my relatives, I can't watch them suffer one by one." I'm sorry, Nanmu Chen. ”

"You can't stop it, the plan has reached its final step. Chen Nanmu turned his gaze away, looked away, and said, "Moreover, I didn't tell you everything, and there are things you don't know. Zhou Chan, you can't stop it, you are getting involved now, but you are just killing yourself. ”

Zhou Chan took a deep breath, turned around and walked to his side, facing the floor-to-ceiling window like him, on the dark glass window, the figures of the two of them were reflected, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he said, "If you are just targeting Zhou Jingyang, I won't say a word." ”

"Like you, I hated what my father had done, so I left and I said nothing. But I regret it now, I regret that I left without saying anything. I hurt them, and since none of you will spare them, then I should not be an exception. ”

Her throat moved slightly, lowered her head, and said, "Chen Nanmu, I'm sorry." ”

After a while, she turned around, and when she was about to leave, Chen Nanmu still couldn't hold back and said, "Don't forget, you still have children." ”

"The kid has Mussen. ”

"Zhou Chan!"

Zhou Chan didn't pay attention to him anymore and opened the door directly, but she didn't expect that this door was like any door, and there was a surprise when she opened the door.

Zhou Yanan was standing at the door, raising his hand to ring the doorbell, Zhou Chan was startled by her, and Zhou Yanan was also startled by her.

The two paused and spoke almost simultaneously.

Zhou Yanan: "Auntie." ”

Zhou Chan: "What are you doing!"

Zhou Yanan was about to say something, but Zhou Chan directly pushed her out, closed the door, and said, "Are you such a faceless girl!"

Zhou Chan looked very serious, with a trace of unconcealable anger in her eyes, like an elder, "What you said last time wasn't clear enough? What about your self-esteem? A girl doesn't even understand basic self-love, who do you expect to love you!"

Zhou Yanan took a step back, and the whole person stuck to the wall, and he didn't react for a while.

"Go back. Zhou Chan raised her hand.

"I want to say a few words to Chen Nanmu. ”

"There's nothing to say, give me back. Stay away from him in the future, do you know!"

Zhou Yanan looked at her intently, for a long time, turned his head away, and said, "This is a matter between me and him." Auntie, you are not qualified to command me, I am an adult and I know what I am doing. ”

"I have all the self-esteem and self-love you said, and I hope you respect my decisions and choices. ”

When Zhou Chan wanted to say something, the door behind her opened, and Chen Nanmu interrupted her and said, "This is a matter between me and Zhou Yanan." ”

"Auntie, I respect you and I hope you respect me too. ”

Zhou Chan's eyes were full of struggle, and finally took a step back and said, "Okay, I'll give you twenty minutes, I'll wait for you outside." ”

Zhou Yanan thought about it, didn't refuse, nodded, and then entered the house smoothly.

She still pushed Chen Nanmu to the living room as before, looked at the coffee table first, and then went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and searched for a long time, only finding an apple.

"You really don't have a nanny at home. She came out laughing, sat down on the couch, took the fruit knife and began to peel the apples.

Chen Nanmu sat beside her and watched her peel.

When the two got along before, Zhou Yanan would buy all kinds of fruits every day, and he would definitely get them for him personally and put them in front of him.

She does everything with all her heart and soul, and Chen Nanmu can feel it.

Even now, the two of them have broken up, he can still feel her feelings for him, maybe she has no intention of restraining at all. It's not like other couples who break up unhappily, they have to hold their heads high in front of each other and be full of hostility.

The atmosphere now is as if they hadn't fallen out at all, or that they were still together.

Zhou Yanan lowered his head and said while peeling apples: "I thought twenty minutes was a bit short at first, I thought I would have a lot to say to you, and then draw a happy end to the relationship between us." But I'm only now realizing that there's not much to say, and twenty minutes is a bit long. ”

Chen Nanmu didn't speak, he hadn't said a word to her since that day, I don't know why, maybe there was nothing to say.

Zhou Yanan glanced at him, smiled, and said, "I don't blame you, and I don't hate you." Actually, I don't think you're taking revenge on her, whether it's before or after being together, you've always kept a distance from me, neither far nor close. So, you didn't deliberately approach me to get revenge on her, as my aunt said. ”

"Actually, you have never taken the initiative to approach me, and I have always approached you. Well, it's definitely not realistic to say that I'm not angry at all, and I'm not that good, and I've been cursing you in circles in my heart a few days ago. But then I thought about it, I'm so angry, if you don't feel it at all, I'm the one who suffers. Slowly, I stopped getting angry, calmed down, and realized that it was always me who stuck to you, not you who seduced me. ”

As the words fell, a long strip of apple peel broke, but the apple was not yet peeled.

She snorted, and when she was about to pick it up, Chen Nanmu bent down one step ahead of her and picked it up and put it on the coffee table.

"Thank you. She smiled at him and continued.

"I don't want to fool anyone, I don't want to fool myself, and I don't want to lie to you. I still like you, but I know we can't be together anymore. Anyway......"

Finally, she finished peeling the apple in her hand and handed it over with a smile.

After a while, Chen Nanmu raised his eyes, met her gaze, reached out and took the apple in her hand, and accidentally touched her fingertips with his fingers. He paused, and Zhou Yanan didn't let go of his hand.

She said, "Chen Nanmu, have you ever liked me? even a little bit, have you ever liked me?"

She added the word 'pass', and she denied the present and the future.

The two looked at each other for a long time before Chen Nanmu spoke and said, "No." ”

Zhou Yanan's heart sank, tears swirled in her eyes, and finally fell, she smiled and didn't start, not wanting him to see it. She nodded, let go of her hand, and said, "I see." ”

After a moment, she stood up and straightened her clothes that were not messy, "Well, then we can get together and disperse, and we will meet again." ”

Chen Nanmu was silent, not even looking at her.

Zhou Yanan took a deep breath, kept the smile on his face, shook his arm, and said, "Then, then I'll go." ”

"Hmm. ”

"Goodbye. She raised her hand.

Chen Nanmu nodded and replied, "Goodbye." ”

Zhou Yanan took one last look at him, then looked down at his toes, nodded, and said goodbye again before finally moving.

When she walked to the entrance, she couldn't help but look back at him, the apple she had peeled herself, he put it on the coffee table, and it seemed that she had no intention of eating it.

Not throwing it in the trash in front of her is already a lot of face, and she should be happy.

"Thank you, let's break up. She smiled silently, and then opened the door and left.

The sound of closing the door sounded, and the expression on Chen Nanmu's face changed slightly, and he looked sideways at the apple on the coffee table, and reached out to take it again after a while, and took a bite.

It's a little astringent, not sweet.

But he still ate the whole apple in one bite.

Zhou Chan had been waiting outside, and as soon as Zhou Yanan came out, he followed her downstairs, and neither of them spoke during the whole process, but Zhou Chan frowned and looked at her, obviously looking like she had something to ask.

After getting out of the elevator, Zhou Chan finally couldn't help it, stepped forward, and said, "What did you say?"

Zhou Yanan didn't answer, and walked straight out.

"No matter what he says, don't believe him, he has bad intentions. Zhou Chan looked bitter, and kept talking behind her back.

Zhou Yanan couldn't help but be quiet, and finally she couldn't help it, stopped, turned to look at her suddenly, and said, "Auntie, can you leave my business alone?"

She used honorifics, and directly opened the relationship between the two.

Zhou Chan was choked for a moment, and then she stumbled a little and said, "I'm doing it for your good." ”

"I know you're here for my good, but I'm an adult, not a child, and I know what I'm doing! I didn't come to do anything, I just didn't want to end this relationship in a mess, everything has to have a beginning and an end, right?" she smiled helplessly, and said, "Even if I want to have something with him, I have to be willing, isn't it? ”

"We're done, are you satisfied now? Can you not be annoyed? Auntie, you should remember that you are now married, will this kind of behavior not be good now? Whether it is a man or a woman, after marriage, should you pay attention to your words and deeds, and keep a certain distance from your ex. No matter how much you miss it!"

Zhou Chan was stunned by what she said, and when she came back to her senses, Zhou Yanan had already walked away.

In the end, Zhou Yanan still cried, cried all the way, and it was the last way.

……

Cheng Xunchun went home after the entertainment, she is now really serious about doing the company's things, expanding her social circle, knowing all kinds of people, she has goals, so she works hard.

Zhou Yanqing came out of the study when he heard the sound, Cheng Xunxuan turned around and saw him, so he rushed over and hugged him, smiled at him, and said: "Today I personally negotiated a business by myself, although I haven't signed a contract yet, but I think the other party is very satisfied." ”

"Awesome. ”

Although it is only a simple two words, it is very useful to Cheng Xun.

When the two of them were warming up, the doorbell suddenly rang, Cheng Xunxun frowned, and said, "Who will come to the door at this time?"

"I'll take a look. ”

The person who came was Zhou Chan.

After she returned from Chen Nanmu's house, she had been fidgeting, and she wanted to wait for the next day, but she couldn't wait.

"Old Five, I have something I want to tell you. ”

Cheng Xunxun was curious, came over to take a look, and was not surprised to see Zhou Chan, she had heard Zhou Yanan say that Zhou Chan was back, and she said hello politely.

Zhou Chan responded perfunctorily, then grabbed Zhou Yanqing's hand and said, "Can you go out and talk?" ”

Zhou Yanqing did not refuse, turned around and said a word to Cheng Xun, and followed Zhou Chan out.

Cheng Xunxun didn't think much about it, went to take a shower, and wanted to check something on the Internet, her laptop was in the study. However, strangely enough, the door to the study was locked.
