Chapter Ninety-Seven: Opportunities for Further Study
After finishing speaking, the other party fell silent, obviously thinking about the three conditions that Zhan Xingchuan had just proposed.
It can be said that none of the three conditions is easy to achieve. Before agreeing, everyone must think twice so as not to fall into a passive situation.
"I need a little time, think about it carefully......"
Sure enough, the man hesitated to speak, and seemed to have a bit of a swaying taste.
Unexpectedly, the muscles at the corner of Zhan Xingchuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he immediately interrupted coldly: "You hear clearly, you don't have the capital to bargain with me. If you think I'm begging you right now, you're very wrong. I'm just asking for my share of justice, that's all!"
His expression was hideous, his voice was cold, and he was almost like the way he used to play with the children.
"Justice...... But how can God be fair to me......"
Listening to the sound of old tears coming from the other end of the phone, Zhan Xingchuan felt an unprecedented joy from the bottom of his heart, he hooked the corners of his mouth, smiled and said word by word: "I hope that you are not old and confused enough that you need me to repeat what I just said again." You can choose not to agree, I don't care, you have never had any special meaning to me, you just contributed a sperm. β
He hung up the phone directly, the smile on his lips froze, and then faded away.
Standing in place for a moment, Zhan Xingchuan picked up his mobile phone and turned to open the door.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw a hesitant Ran Xixi standing at the door, as if he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door. His sudden movement obviously startled her, and she took a step back, her eyes wide open, and she looked at him in surprise.
"Ah, IβI just wanted to ask you, I just made tea, do you want to go downstairs and drink some?"
It took Ran Xixi two seconds to finally find her voice back, and asked a little embarrassedly. She didn't expect that as soon as she was about to knock, the door opened, and he was standing close at hand, completely not giving her any time or opportunity to adjust her mood.
Zhan Xingchuan wiped his face and replied to her as easily as possible: "Okay, try your craft." β
The two walked down the stairs silently one after the other and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
The entire first floor is filled with a faint fragrance of tea, which is really good water and good tea, not to be missed. Zhan Xingchuan sniffed hard, and finally smiled, being able to drink a cup of hot tea on a cold winter afternoon was really a great enjoyment.
Ran Xixi poured him a cup of tea, put down the teapot, and she said softly: "I've thought about it, you have a point, I won't think about right and wrong anymore, that's too naΓ―ve." I only want to figure out two things now, one is the real cause of my mother's death, and the other is the real cause of my adoptive father's death. As for the secret of the twins...... Let her go, she can say whatever she wants, I can't control other people's brains and mouths. β
She admits that it wasn't easy to say these things, and she even thought about telling everything she knew to the reporters who were everywhere. Anyway, she was already disgraced enough, and there was no dignity that she couldn't lose.
Zhan Xingchuan's hand to take the teacup paused slightly, stayed in mid-air for a second, and then, he continued to pick up the teacup, brought it to his mouth, and blew it gently, sniffing the aroma in it.
He didn't expect that the woman who had always liked to drill the horns of the bull was not so stubborn this time.
"I'd suggest you'd better not look into these two things again. In case the outcome is something you can't bear, you'll be in more pain than you are now, I promise. β
Although he didn't know what kind of conspiracy was hidden behind the two things, in Zhan Xingchuan's opinion, Diao Chengxi and Ran Tianze were not good men and women, including Diao Ranran, there was no good person at all, no matter what they did, he would not be surprised.
Ran Xixi may be the only one who still retains her conscience, and she should no longer bear the pressure and coercion from them, which is not fair.
"One of them gave birth to me and the other raised me, no matter what kind of person they are, I don't want to be a wolf-hearted daughter. Whether you call me stupid or stubborn, I just want to find these two answers. β
She held the teacup in her hand, and there was a slight tremor in her voice.
"It's very simple, if I were to analyze it, it would be a possibility: your mother had always hoped that your adoptive father would elope with her, but he refused, and she pressed harder and harder, and he finally couldn't stand it, so he found the prescription and caused her to die. After that, your father knew the cause of his wife's death and wanted to take revenge, so he joined forces with Ruan Fan to first bring down the Ran family, and then forced Ran Tianze to commit suicide. β
Taking a sip, Zhan Xingchuan gave his judgment very firmly.
His words were obviously not so beautiful, Ran Xixi frowned, but she couldn't say anything to refute.
Because, even she herself has to admit that in fact, his logic does not sound too flawed, and judging from the information they have so far, this is already the greatest possibility.
But she was reluctant to take over the fact that in her eyes, both her mother and adoptive father were perfect people, especially her mother. In Ran Xixi's view, her mother is a victim of marriage, she has to give up her love for the glory of the family, she is restrained and restrained, and she will never become a slut who tries to run amorous in vain.
"If not, so what? You know better than I do that your adoptive parents don't seem to be completely unemotional, and he looks like he's ready to elope with his lover? She has nothing left but love, but even love is going to be lost. In this case, do you think that a terrible quarrel will not break out between them, hating each other......"
Zhan Xingchuan said faster and faster, as if Ran Xixi must accept such an inference.
"Bang!"
She put the teacup in her hand heavily on the coffee table, her face was pale, and her lips pursed slightly.
After a few seconds, Ran Xixi said with difficulty: "It's better to respect the deceased, why do you have to think of them so badly......
Zhan Xingchuan sighed and didn't continue.
However, his words still played a certain role, or rather, he said something that Ran Xixi had thought about many times in his heart, but he never dared to say it.
After all, people tend to be more strict with others and less strict with themselves.
"So, what are you going to do next? Now that you've resigned, you might as well plan ahead. β
Zhan Xingchuan drank the tea in the cup and changed the subject.
She glanced at him, filled his tea again, and replied in a low voice, "My friend Craig helped me apply for an opportunity to study in the United States, with the theme of photography, for six months. It is said that the lectures are all taught by some palace-level masters, and the opportunity is rare...... However, I feel that the time is too long, and it is impossible for me to leave Zhonghai for so long......"
Originally, Craig still regretted her, feeling that she was about to take up a senior position in China Overseas New Company and would definitely not be able to go abroad for further study. Who knows, the plan did not change quickly, and within a few days, he received news that Ran Xixi had been ruthlessly fired by Bonnie Kerrs.
In the past few years, Craig has fantasized countless times about the boss firing this woman, and even several times, he feels that the boss will definitely not put up with it anymore, and this time he will definitely kick her away, but Bonnie Kers has not.
And just when he thought that the boss would never kick her out, Pony Kers miraculously made her leave the NG group completely.
It's amazing.
"But that's fine, Xixi, you can go and learn photography from the top masters! Do you know that in order to help you apply for this place, I went to several professors to help you write letters of recommendation? So, no matter what, you must not waste this golden opportunity! This is my Christmas present for you, remember to go back to Paris and invite me to dinner!"
A few days ago, Craig said in high spirits on the phone.
Only a fool would give up such a good opportunity, so when he heard Ran Xixi say that she had to think about it, Craig was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
"It's really a good opportunity and I advise you not to miss it. If you're worried about Rui Rui, then I can promise you to take care of him for six months until you come back. β
After listening, Zhan Xingchuan pondered for a moment and whispered to Ran Xixi.
She frowned, still hesitating.
"If you choose to go, when will you leave? It must be next year, spring?"
Zhan Xingchuan took out his phone, clicked on the calendar, and glanced at the date on it.
"Yes, the course will start in mid-February next year and officially end in September, and then an exhibition of the students' works will be held. After such a long time, I was really worried that Rui Rui would not agree, and I finally established a relationship with him......"
The more Ran Xixi talked, the more sad she became, and she wanted to give up even more.
He shook his head: "No." You think, he had a crush on you when he first saw you, didn't he? It's only been six months, and it's not as long as you think. β
After speaking, Zhan Xingchuan added in his heart, he has survived three years, and six months is nothing.
"I'll think again. β
Ran Xixi gestured to indicate that she did not plan to continue discussing the topic.
There are too many variables in the world, and she can't be sure if today's thoughts will be the same as tomorrow's, everyone is changing, the world is also changing, and the only thing that remains constant is change.
"Okay, but I still hope you don't give up on your dreams for the sake of Ruirui. Stay-at-home moms are great and are used to sacrifice themselves, but you also have to know that there are many things that a mother has to teach her children, and her children don't want to have a mediocre mother of their own. Also, I don't think there's anything wrong with having a father take care of the children when the mother is busy. Remember, don't let spending time with your children be an excuse for you to escape from reality. β
Zhan Xingchuan raised the teacup in his hand, made a toasting gesture, and then drank it all.
