72. Zhao Pingping's request

Zhao Ruozhi lay in Zhou Yi's arms, enjoying the calm after the passion.

"Hungry?" Zhou Yi buried his head in Zhao Ruozhi's hair.

"I'm a little hungry."

"I'll cook you some rice soup."

"Okay."

Zhou Yi walked out of the door, but saw Zhao Pingping probing his brain at the staircase.

"Hello Auntie!" Zhou Yi had a smile on his face and greeted Zhao Pingping gently.

"Why do you young people hide in your room as soon as you come back? Come down and eat. Zhao Pingping greeted Zhou Yi warmly, "What about Ruolin?" Why didn't she come out? ”

"She's a little tired, so I'll go to bed first, and I'll make her some rice soup to drink later."

"Is your stomach bad again?" Zhao Pingping didn't know that Zhao Ruozhi didn't go home a while ago because she was hospitalized, but she was too busy with work and couldn't come back. "I'm just young for this problem and that problem, she doesn't listen to what I say, you can help me persuade her more, don't work so hard, just have enough money to spend."

"I know, Auntie, let's go down to eat first."

Zhou Yi first went downstairs to wash the rice and put it in the pot, and then ate with Zhao Pingping.

"Zhou Yi, I think you are a policeman, about my brother, I want to ask you for help." Zhao Pingping has always wanted to know how her brother has always acted with conscience, has always been upright in business, and has no enemies, how could he be punished by God overnight and ruin his family.

"Auntie, if you have any requirements, just mention it, as long as it can be helped, I will definitely help."

"I don't know where to start, I always felt that my brother's death didn't seem like an accident."

"Then what do you think ......?"

"I think someone is trying to kill him." Zhao Pingping finally mustered up the courage to say the speculation that had been hidden in her heart for many years. Before he had an accident, I heard from my sister-in-law that in addition to the ghosts in the company, my brother had been investigating. Do you think it could be that someone doesn't want to be found out, so they have to ......"

Zhao Pingping knew that once she said such a conjecture, it would involve those old people ten years ago. Ten years ago, those who were once loyal due to the collapse of the Zhao family, and they were also scattered, and they took the money to stand on their own, and there were not a few who left the country and never came back.

"Do you suspect that Uncle Zhao's death was not an accident?" Zhou Yi didn't expect that the woman in front of him who didn't dare to speak loudly in front of Li Lianchun would dare to say such a thing.

Zhao Pingping's hands trembled slightly, and her eyes became red and swollen because of fear: "I'm not sure, I just think my brother is not the kind of person who will take his life as a child's play." ”

Zhou Yi remembered that the statement to the family back then was: Zhao Feng and Lin Mei came back from other places in the middle of the night, and Zhao Feng was drunk and drove without wearing a seat belt, resulting in a car accident and death. Because their daughter was home alone, they were in a hurry to go back to accompany their daughter, which led to the accident. And the "daughter who is alone at home" fell to her death because she was playing on the balcony.

Zhou Yi and Zhao Pingping both knew that Zhao Ruozhi was the only one in the know. But after that night, Zhao Ruo couldn't even say anything because she was hit so hard, let alone describe the causes and consequences she saw in the Zhao family's old mansion.

Zhao Pingping has been suspicious for so many years, but she didn't dare to ask Zhao Ruozhi, for fear that she would touch the forbidden area in her heart. Zhao Pingping finally came out of her brother's death, and she was even more reluctant to mention the past easily.

So for the next ten years, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the events of the year, did not dare to communicate the doubts in their hearts, and lived on their own new tracks as if that incident had never happened.

The core party also seems to have forgotten what happened that night. No one mentioned it, and no one touched the wound in his heart that had just crusted over.

"My parents gave birth to me and my brother. White-haired people send black-haired people, my dad didn't take long to have a cerebral hemorrhage and became a vegetative person, and my mom also died of cancer last year. If they're still around, they might know something. I don't know anything about the company, and I don't even have an eyebrow. ”

"Is Mrs. Zhao's family still alive?"

"Lin Mei has a twin sister in the United States. After Lin Mei left, her sister took the old man to the United States for retirement. Zhao Pingping said, "Lin Xue went to the United States when she was in college, and she came back when her brother and sister-in-law got married." I have the impression that Lin Mei and Lin Xue looked exactly the same at that time, and if they were strangers standing together, they would not be able to distinguish them at all. ”

Just like when Hao Hao sent Ruozhi to his house, the neighbor didn't know that it was not Ruolin, but Ruozhi. Ruolin was raised by me since childhood, and her personality is completely different from Ruozhi, and I can tell at a glance who my daughter is. When the child came back, he was frightened, he didn't want to say anything, and he always banged his head on the bed board in the middle of the night, which made people feel distressed. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yi's heart also pinched.

"If you are pampered from an early age, you will have what you want. Ruolin lived a hard life at home, and our two working parents couldn't afford to give her a good life, if it weren't for my brother who would always give me some money, saying that the child would spend a lot of money, and this life would be a little more nourishing. ”

"It's okay if our family Ruolin just goes, at least they don't have to continue to live a hard life with us. It's just that Ruozhi is suffering, and he has no parents at such a young age, so he can only live under Ruolin's name. The old man in the family is not working hard, and he has to gamble if he loses the family, so he can only let Ruozhi pay off his debts. I feel sorry from the bottom of my heart, and I have always treated her as my own daughter. ”

Zhao Pingping began to sobble as she spoke: "It's me who is sorry for her." She is so strong, and in the end she still suffers herself. ”

Zhou Yi had never heard Zhao Ruozhi mention her childhood, and she didn't mention it intentionally or unintentionally. Now I know from the photo that I feel choked in my throat, and I can't say a word for a while.

"Look at me, talking and talking about these unhappy things. It's no wonder that Li Lianchun doesn't like to listen to me say this, and he can't talk to outsiders. Now when I come across someone who can say it, I say too much at once. ”

"It's okay, I love to hear whatever you say, Auntie."

"Then you'll listen to me a few more words." Zhao Pingping wiped away her tears, "Whether you or Haohao are my sons-in-law, I only want my daughter to be happy." ”

"Auntie, don't worry, I won't hurt Ruozhi, I will definitely make her happy."

"Ah-Yi! What are you talking to my mom about for so long, I'm starving to death. Zhao Ruozhi stood at the top of the stairs and shouted Zhou Yi, I don't know how long she had been standing there.

Zhou Yi came to Zhao Ruozhi's room with rice soup, and Zhao Ruozhi found that his eyes were a little red.

"What's wrong with you? Embarrassed by my mother? Zhao Ruozhi held Zhou Yi's face and looked at it carefully.

"No, she told me something about when you were a kid."

Zhao Ruozhi lowered his head: "I don't remember a lot of things when I was a child, what did she say?" ”

"Drink the rice soup first, and I'll tell you when I'm done."

Zhao Ruozhi took a sip and was so scalded that his tongue was sticking out.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi took the initiative to help her cool the rice soup, picked up the bowl and drank it herself.

"Huh? My dinner, how are you-"

Zhao Ruozhi's words were blocked by Zhou Yi's mouth, and the rice soup flowed into Zhao Ruozhi's mouth through Zhou Yi's lips.

"You've gone too far!" Zhao Ruozhi was given goosebumps by Zhou Yi.

"Is it good?" Zhou Yi wiped the rice soup from the corner of his mouth and looked at her with a smile.

"Stinky rascal!"

"It's you who said that my kissing skills are not good, and I have to practice it now when I have the chance, not for you?"

"When did you learn to be so flamboyant?" Zhao Ruozhi grabbed the bowl and drank the rice soup quickly.

"Drink slowly."

"I want to finish drinking quickly and help you hone your kissing skills." Zhao Ruozhi didn't have time to wipe his mouth, and took the initiative to send himself to Zhou Yi's mouth, "Come on." ”

Zhou Yi saw that Zhao Ruozhi rarely took the initiative, and he was even more excited, picked up Zhao Ruozhi and walked to the bathroom.

"What are you doing? What do you want to do? ”

"Remember the first time we met?"

"The time I broke into your room drunk?"

"I didn't get a good shower that time, and I want you to make it up to me this time." Zhou Yi smiled evilly.

"You soaked me in the bathtub and threw me out, causing me to catch a cold and fever, you should have compensated me."

"Okay, then you won't ask me for a while."

Zhao Ruozhi blushed after hearing this: "Do I have ......?"

Zhou Yi patted Zhao Ruozhi's ass and said with a smile: "The little wild cat is crazy, I like it very much." ”

The bathroom is full of steam, the sound of water gurgling, and the sound of pleasure.

Outside the window, the night was quiet, the crickets in the grass chirped tirelessly, and the wild cats in the trees stared and wandered from branch to branch, looking for a chance to feed.

The dew condensed on the leaves, secretly reflecting the bright moonlight.

A night breeze blew, the crickets suddenly stopped chirping, the wild cats vigilantly stretched out their claws, and the freshly formed dew was blown away by the wind and dissipated into mist in the night.

The wind stopped, and everything returned to its former tranquility. The crickets began to chirp again, the wild cats let their guard down, and the leaves still hung high in the branches.

On a private airport not far away, a small private jet flying from the United States roared to the ground.

A woman in a tight short skirt, burgundy high heels, and a luxury leather bag came down from the plane. The high-heeled shoes stepped on the carpet and almost stepped on millions of carpets to get holes, but the hostess of the high-heeled shoes didn't seem to care. She twisted her waist and got into the black car that had come to pick her up.

There was already an old man sitting in the back seat, closing his eyes and recuperating.

"Old man Qian, long time no see. I am back. ”

The red lips opened lightly, as if reciting a spell, bringing to C City, I don't know what kind of storm it will be.

"It's good to be back." The old man opened his eyes and stared straight ahead, no one knew what he was looking at. "Zhou Yi, that kid, I'll leave it to you."

"Yes."

The woman has no expression, as if she were a professional businessman negotiating in a business arena, without any emotion.

What they didn't know was that just a few hours after that, Zhou Yi took Zhao Ruozhi and got on a passenger plane to Bali to start their honeymoon journey.
