"Oh, he's Mr. Shi's son." Zhou Manchun answered with a smile. She didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
"Oh, you even know Mr. Shi's son in such a short time. Xiaochun, you're really popular with the opposite sex." Weng Jingjing teased.
"Sister Weng, don't make fun of me. There's nothing between us. I just said hello when I saw him."
"Well, I know. You don't have to explain." Weng Jingjing had an "I understand" expression on her face. She was extremely cunning.
Zhou Manchun really wanted to kill herself. What did she do wrong?
In the evening, Zhou Manchun went home directly after work. Jin Beisen called home at around five o 'clock.
"Hello, Boss Jin." Zhou Manchun picked up the phone respectfully and smiled.
"Little girl, how are you today?" Jin Beisen lay on the sofa and rubbed his temples with his thumbs. He felt a little tired.
These days, he worked hard and almost didn't rest much. He just wanted to go back and torture Zhou Manchun as soon as possible.
"Everything is fine, but … I saw your cousin in the hospital today." Zhou Manchun said with a smile.
Jin Beisen's shrewd eyes suddenly became alert. He asked deeply, "What did he say to you?"
"Nothing. I just saw him when I went to check the ward this morning." Zhou Manchun answered truthfully. She really didn't say anything to Shi Mingge. Although Shi Mingge said he would treat her to a meal, Zhou Manchun thought it was just polite words. Of course, she wouldn't believe it.
"You stay away from him." Jin Beisen's cold words came with a hint of warning. Zhou Manchun suddenly remembered that in the hospital corridor, Jin Beisen also warned her with the same attitude.
Zhou Manchun shivered and said obediently, "Yes."
"Did you miss me?" After a while, Jin Beisen's tone suddenly softened as he asked gently.
In a place where Zhou Manchun couldn't see, Jin Beisen was curled up on the sofa. The coldness and malice in his eyes were long gone, replaced by deep affection.
"No." After two seconds of silence, Zhou Manchun replied.
Because she really couldn't say those words, it felt so pretentious!
"Heartless woman." Jin Beisen's eyes narrowed, and his face was instantly covered with a layer of haze.
"Um … When are you coming back?" Feeling that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Zhou Manchun changed the topic in order to ease the atmosphere.
"I'm not coming back." Jin Beisen joked.
"I couldn't ask for more." Zhou Manchun had an expression that said 'you better not come back'.
"Don't worry, even if I really don't come back, I'll make you come here to accompany me." His thin lips curled into a sinister smile.
Zhou Manchun, don't even think about leaving me in this life!
"Aunt Wang is done cooking. I'm hungry, so I'm going to eat first." Zhou Manchun didn't want to continue chatting with Jin Beisen. Her mood was very complicated. At this moment, her mind was full of Jin Beisen's shadow. Why didn't her brain follow her heart?
"Go." After Jin Beisen finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Listening to the "du du du" busy tone on the phone, Zhou Manchun's heart was in a mess.
Aunt Wang made a table full of dishes. Zhou Manchun looked at it and drooled, but she suddenly missed home.
A faint light flashed in her gentle eyes. Zhou Manchun sat down. Seeing that aunt Wang was still standing, she smiled and said, "Aunt Wang, sit down and eat with me."
"Ah, how can I do that? Miss Zhou, don't make it difficult for me. "Aunt Wang said with some restraint.
"Aunt Wang, this is an order. Sit down and eat with me. I don't like to eat alone." Zhou Manchun muttered.
Aunt Wang sat down with fear and trepidation. She was extremely embarrassed.
"Aunt Wang, you don't have to be afraid of me. Don't worry, I won't tell Jin Beisen. I just hope that you won't be so nervous in front of me. If it's possible, we can be friends." Zhou Manchun smiled considerately, like an angel.
"Miss Zhou, this isn't very good." Aunt Wang was still a little hesitant.
"Aunt Wang, if you do this again, I will be angry. There is no one else here, just you and me. In the future, when Jin Beisen is not here, you will eat with me, okay?" Zhou Manchun said with a sweet smile. There was a trace of innocence in her eyes.
"Okay. Thank you, Miss Zhou." Aunt Wang looked at Zhou Manchun gratefully.
"Aunt Wang, do you have children?"
"I used to."
"Ah?" Zhou Manchun was eating prawns. When she heard the word "used to", she stopped what she was doing.
"My husband loved gambling. When my daughter was seventeen, she was diagnosed with leukemia. We didn't have money for treatment, so we dragged it on until she passed away … I was sold to a casino to work. It was Boss Jin who saved me. Miss Zhou, Boss Jin is really a good man!" Aunt Wang's eyes were filled with tears when she mentioned the sad past.
If it wasn't for Jin Beisen, she would have been long dead.
"I'm sorry." Zhou Manchun's face was full of regret. Maybe she shouldn't have brought up this topic.
Aunt Wang wiped away her tears, smiled and looked up. "Miss Zhou, please don't say sorry to me. It was Boss Jin who saved me. He is a good man, and so are you."
Looking at Aunt Wang, Zhou Manchun seemed to think of something. Speaking of saving, she was also one of the people who was saved by Jin Beisen. Maybe, she should really thank him.
After dinner, Zhou Manchun went back to her room. She stood on the balcony, enjoying the wind, and her thoughts drifted to that distant place.
The villa was very big. Zhou Manchun hadn't visited it yet. She didn't like to do so. After all, this wasn't her home. She felt that it was better to stay in her room.
The starry sky on a summer night was always very beautiful. Zhou Manchun looked up and quietly counted the stars in the sky. She sat quietly like this for a long time.
Her phone rang at the right time.
Zhou Manchun glanced at the caller ID. It was a string of numbers that she didn't recognize. After hesitating, she still picked it up.
"Xiaochun, it's me." A deep male voice came from the phone.
As if struck by lightning, Zhou Manchun held the phone and froze on the spot.
Hehe, it was Zhao Tianyu. She laughed at herself and wanted to hang up immediately.
"Xiaochun, don't hang up. I have something to say to you." Zhao Tianyu was familiar with Zhou Manchun's character. After all, they had been together for so many years. They already knew each other's temper like the back of their hands.
After taking a deep breath for three seconds, Zhou Manchun still felt a little uncomfortable. She stood up from the recliner, pressed her hand on her heart, and said coldly, "Say it."
"Tomorrow is Saturday. Can you come to see me? I have something to say to you. "Zhao Tianyu said quietly, but he couldn't suppress the pain in his heart.
A sour feeling came from the tip of her nose. Zhou Manchun opened her eyes wide and let the wind blow. Why did she want to cry so much?
