This was probably because Xing Zheng had gone back on his word so many times before that Lin Mei no longer had any trust in him. She came this time not because she believed what he said, but because she had no choice.
She also thought about how she would deal with it if he didn't abide by the agreement this time. Now, with him "finishing ahead of schedule" like this, she didn't know how to deal with herself.
Aunt Wen packed the suitcase for her and brought her many side dishes and canned fruits. Before leaving, Aunt Wen took Lin Mei's hand and said to her, "If you want to be more open-minded, the child will come again."
Yes, Ah Zheng told me that you are separated and Auntie knows that she shouldn’t care about you young people’s affairs, but Ah Zheng really loves you."
"He just doesn't know how to express himself. I brought him up since he was a child, and he never said a nice word to me. He just arranged my life properly..." This is the first time Aunt Wen has talked with me in more than ten days.
Lin Mei talks about Xing Zheng.
Lin Mei knew her intention, but was unable to respond. Aunt Wen said no more, "If you don't like it, I'll apologize to you first."
"It doesn't matter." Lin Mei shook her head, "I'm leaving, you can go back."
After Lin Mei returned to Nanjiang City, she was still resting at home on vacation. As Xing Zheng said, he had never harassed her again. In fact, in the past few days, Lin Mei had rarely seen news about him and Jiang Chubi.
People who usually feel uncomfortable if they don't "show affection" in a high-profile way are now suddenly keeping a low profile.
Lin Mei watches the news every day. The police have formally arrested Zhao Jianghe. After investigation, a court hearing will be held. With such emphasis, the circumstances should be very serious, but the truth is not known to those who watch the news.
.
On this day, Lin Mei went to the Nanda Affiliated Hospital for a follow-up visit. As usual, he came to Zhou Yue's office, but met Xing Zheng.
It had been more than a month since we last met. When we last saw him, he looked tired. Now it seemed to be more serious. Lin Mei saw that the cuffs of his shirt were rolled up and there were scars on his arms. Before she looked carefully, the man had already
Put down the sleeves.
Lin Mei stopped looking and asked Zhou Yue softly: "Dr. Zhou, are you busy? I'll come back later."
"No, you go and sit inside, I'll be right away."
Zhou Yue arranged for Lin Mei to go to the consultation room, but Xing Zheng said nothing and never looked at Lin Mei.
It wasn't until he heard the door closing that he looked over. Zhou Yue saw him staring at the door intently, with various complex emotions intertwined and surging in his eyes.
"Don't worry, her condition is much better, and her treatment attitude is also very positive," Zhou Yue told Xing Zheng about Lin Mei's condition, "It's best for both of you to stay apart for a while in your current situation."
Xing Zheng remained silent, and Zhou Yue said no more, "I'll go in first. I'll have a safe trip tomorrow. I'll let you know when I get there."
Xing Zheng said "hmm" and left the office. Zhou Yue then went to consult and treat Lin Mei.
Lin Mei finished today's consultation. When she came out, Xing Zheng was no longer in the office. She took the prescription and went downstairs to queue up to get the medicine.
While waiting, my mind was filled with the image of Xing Zheng in the office just now, and his unfamiliar attitude.
Maybe it's not even a stranger. From beginning to end, he seemed to have never looked at her. She should be happy, right? This man who always goes back on his word finally fulfilled his promise like a gentleman this time. He said he wouldn't bother her, and he stopped bothering her.
.
But she felt as if a piece of her heart was missing, as if something important had been blown away by a strong gust of wind. Even if she tried hard to catch up, she could not get it back.
Lin Mei had never felt this kind of loss and irreparable feeling before.
After coming out of the hospital, Lin Mei received a call from Xie Qujia, "Lin Mei, are you busy? Can you do me a favor?"
Xie Qujia's voice sounded very weak. Lin Mei hadn't contacted her for a long time. Recently, she was busy with many things and couldn't take care of herself, so she couldn't think of any of this. "What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
"I'm on Changhong Street now. Can you let me stay at your place for a few days?"
Lin Mei didn't know what happened, but since Xie Qujia had called for help and was in such a weak state, she couldn't just stand by and watch.
Lin Mei drove the car and went to Changhong Street to pick up Xie Fanjia. Xie Fanjia was wearing furniture clothes, her hair was messy, and she was covered in sweat. She looked embarrassed. Lin Mei helped her into the car and handed her some water.
"Why are you here?"
With tears in his eyes, Xie Jinjia told Lin Mei what he had experienced recently. Xing Sha and Xing Zheng both said that Zhao Jianghe killed Xing Yan. Xie Jinjia did not want to believe it, but Zhao Jianghe had been arrested by the police.
, Xie Jinjia is aware of it, right?
She fell into guilt after thinking about him. She wanted to investigate the truth and return Zhao Jianghe's "innocence". "He is Ayan's best friend. Ayan has died with his eyes open. I can't see him being framed like this..."
Lin Mei fell silent. The murder case Zhao Jianghe was carrying... was actually the car accident that year?
If this is true, it is reasonable for Xing Zheng to target Zhao Jianghe like this, but Zhao Jianghe... did he design the car accident because he knew his identity?
Does Xing Zheng know at this time that Zhao Jianghe may be his half-brother...?
Lin Mei remembered the photo saved in her phone. She wanted to help him at that time. After so long, the photo had not been sent. Lin Mei couldn't agree with Xie Qujia's words, so he had to calm her down for the time being.
Such a situation would definitely be unsafe outside.
Xie Qujia followed Lin Mei back home, took a shower, and fell asleep tiredly. Lin Mei covered her with a quilt. When she came out, she happened to hear Xie Qujia's cell phone ringing. It was Xing Sha's call.
, "Where have you been?"
"Don't worry, Aunt Xie is here with me," Lin Mei considered and asked Xing Sha, "Do you know what happened to Aunt Xie in the past?"
"What do you know?" Xing Sha's voice became serious, and Lin Mei told him truthfully, "I have seen a photo. I will talk to you in detail after you come."
When Xing Sha came, Xie Qujia was still sleeping soundly. Lin Mei went downstairs with Xing Sha. She found the photo from her phone and gave it to Xing Sha.
It was the photo of Xie Qujia and Liu Qinye. He had seen it many times before. When he was about to ask, he heard Lin Mei say, "I saw this photo in Zhao Jianghe's study. This man...
He seems to be Zhao Jianghe’s biological father.”
"You guessed it right, he is indeed Zhao Jianghe's biological father." There is no need to say the second half of the sentence, the two of them understand each other tacitly.
The guess was finally confirmed. Lin Mei suddenly remembered the passport he had seen accidentally. On the passport, Zhao Jianghe was three years older than he actually was. No wonder.
Xing Sha asked Lin Mei, "Why did you check these?"
Lin Mei fell silent, and Xing Sha got the answer from her embarrassment, "Do you want to help Xing Zheng?"
Lin Mei was even more embarrassed. She once said that she didn't like Xing Zheng and that such behavior was a slap in the face.
Xing Sha saw what she was thinking, "Don't worry, I won't interfere with your feelings anymore." This chapter has been completed!
