Unexpectedly, Zhang Shimei was not angry, but sneered and said: "I know that Zhou Zheng is in a hurry now, and the money owed to others must be repaid, right?" That's right, of course he wants one more stupid woman to follow him to repay the money, only you, Jiang Yao, you were led by the nose and played around, and you also helped others count the money! I look at this Zhou Zheng, he is young, and he thinks a lot about it! ”

Jiang Yao gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, what are you living here now?" Everybody is this Goofy house......"

"What happened to Goofy's house?!" Zhang Shimei instantly raised her voice: "People have houses!" Willing to marry my daughter! I can't fulfill him yet? Once you've moved in, you'll know it's a lot better than your little shabby house. Will the man next to you allow you to live in this area? It's hard to rent, right? ”

Zhou Zheng lowered his head, his fingertips clenched into fists at his side, and all kinds of humiliating words basically smashed towards him, smashing him a little dizzy, not knowing what to do.

"Let me tell you Jiang Yao, don't think about what to do with me! Me and Goofy are one attitude! Did Zhou Zheng break the vase! Yes! Isn't that what it takes? Wait to lose money! Zhang Shimei laughed.

Jiang Yao looked at Zhang Shimei's face in disbelief, and suddenly felt very unfamiliar.

This person...... Is it her mother? Why did she have such a mother? Why is it that everyone can be happy, but her love affair is ruined again and again?

"It's your decision, right?" Jiang Yao stretched out his hand to pull Zhou Zheng and finally said.

Zhang Shimei's laughter gradually became quieter, her bitter expression did not converge at all, her eyes swept over her face, and she snorted coldly: "What about it?" I warn you, get back to me as soon as you've figured it out! Is more than a million a small number? Can you afford it? What do you rely on? As long as you are contaminated with Zhou Zheng in this life, you will be finished! ”

"Zhang Shimei, I'd really rather ...... myself" Jiang Yao opened her mouth, but she didn't spit out the cruel words she wanted to say.

"What do you call me?! Rather what?! Say! Zhang Shimei stared at Jiang Yao angrily.

This look completely angered Jiang Yao, she only felt that she was standing in front of the abyss, and a pair of big palms behind her pushed her fiercely.

"Never had you as a mother." Jiang Yao shook off a sentence, turned around and pulled Zhou Zheng away.

Zhang Shimei stomped her feet hard behind her, gritted her teeth and said, "Don't say it too early!" You're going to come and thank me someday! ”

Jiang Yao didn't look back, and took Zhou Zheng out of the door of the apartment all the way before stopping.

Zhou Zheng looked at her back from the side, didn't dare to step forward, and only reached out for a while, gently pulled her over, and when he looked down, he saw her face full of tears, and his heart suddenly pinched together.

"What's wrong, Yaoyao? Don't cry...... Don't cry...... really" He reached out and hugged her into his arms in a panic, helpless not knowing what to do, and any words of comfort seemed to be invalid in this instant.

It was at this moment that he really realized his incompetence and let the girl he liked solve everything for him, but he could only watch.

"Don't cry, let's go back first, okay?" Zhou Zheng said.

Jiang Yao whimpered, her cry slowly amplified, and she shook her head and said, "What should I do...... Zhou Zheng, I'm so scared......"

Zhou Zheng's fingertips tightened even tighter, as if he was holding a rare treasure, and wanted to express his feelings vigorously, but he didn't dare to use force, for fear of screwing her to pieces.

"Don't cry, don't cry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" he muttered.

"It's terrible...... Jiang Yao sobbed, "Why are they like this?" Why does this ...... us?"

This question is also something that Zhou Zheng has been thinking about for so long, and he has also not figured it out.

Does money really mean everything? If you have money, can you trample on others at will? Can you make others suffer and live in pain? Although I don't want to admit it, judging from the current situation, it seems that this is really the case.

I don't know how long I cried, Jiang Yao finally stopped, nestled in Zhou Zheng's arms, and sniffed quietly.

Zhou Zheng hugged her and stretched out his hand to block the sun for her, and after a long time, the talent in his arms finally moved.

"I'll go ask for leave later, discuss with Nianyu, and see how much vacation I can get." She whispered.

"Leave?"

"Well, I'm with you. Let's get the store out first, right? Jiang Yao wiped away her tears, pursed her lips and said, "The two of us have no way to run this shop now, no matter what we do, Gao Fei will do it." And Zilin said that crying can't solve the problem, so I stopped crying. Haven't we tried everything yet? Then try all the methods first, and how much can be saved. ”

Zhou Zheng nodded movingly and hugged her into his arms again.

In the next few days, Jiang Yao and Zhou Zheng tried hard to sell the store, and there were a lot of people who asked, but because the reputation of the store was bad recently, the price was very serious, and there was no good price, and there was no point in subleasing it. They have also tried to attract investment, but with little success, and no one wants to invest in such a small steakhouse.

After trying all the possibilities, Jiang Yao and Zhou Zheng began to get tired.

In the evening, the two walked towards Zhou Zheng's residence one after the other, because they went out together in the past few days, Jiang Yao sometimes slept directly at Zhou Zheng's, and also saved money for the bus, and all her wages added up to only pay off next month's rent.

"Tired or not?" Zhou Zheng turned his head, looked at Jiang Yao and smiled, trying to ease the sluggish atmosphere.

Jiang Yao shook his head, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled reluctantly, and said, "I'm not tired." ”

Zhou Zheng turned around and opened the door, and said, "Go and rest first, I'll go downstairs and buy something to eat." ”

"Order takeout, right?" Jiang Yao stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes.

"There is a delivery fee for takeout, and I will buy whatever you want to eat." Zhou Zheng said gently.

Jiang Yao pursed her lips, and after a moment of silence, she spoke: "I don't have much appetite now...... Peel me an apple, will? There are also apples I bought yesterday in the fridge. ”

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, you rest first." With that, he turned around and walked into the kitchen with a fruit knife.

Jiang Yao sat on the bed for a while, and her phone suddenly lit up.

It's Goofy's message.

"Have you thought about it? You are always welcome to talk to me. ”

Jiang Yao couldn't help but roll her eyes, flipped over her phone angrily, turned her head and got up, and walked to the kitchen, but her footsteps suddenly stopped at the door.

Zhou Zheng covered his face and sat on the courier box on the side, without any movement, just sitting quietly for a long time.

The light from the window came in and scattered around him, but it was as if it could not shine on him, only the place where he sat was cold and damp, as if he had never seen the sun in his life.

Jiang Yao pursed her lips, tears surged again, her heart hurt so much that her breathing tightened, she raised her legs and slowly retreated, sat on the bed again, and covered her face to be quiet.

She knew that Zhou Zheng didn't want her to see him collapse and vulnerable, otherwise she wouldn't have to stay alone in the kitchen.

After a while, she slowly changed to a side-lying position, curled up together, and took out her mobile phone again.

The message sent by Gao Fei just now was still lit up on the screen, glowing with a glowing ghostly light.

She thought about it for a long time before she finally typed those words: "Meet you." ”
