"It's pretty good." Zhou Manchun bit her lip and didn't dare to look at Zhao Lizi's glasses. She was not good at lying since she was a child. Every time she lied, she didn't dare to look at the other person's eyes.
"Xiaochun, you really haven't changed at all. After so many years, every time you lie, you don't dare to look at my eyes." Zhao Lizi took a sip of coffee and felt a little bitter. She frowned slightly.
"Mom, I'm not lying." Zhou Manchun raised her eyes. Her pure eyes were filled with confusion.
"I went to your hospital last night. I wanted to ask you about the blind date and asked your colleague. Your colleague said that you didn't stay in the hospital at all these days." Zhao Lizi put down the coffee cup and made a "thud" sound. Although the sound was very soft, it could be heard clearly.
"I … I moved out with my colleague. I don't feel comfortable living in the hospital. Her home is close to the hospital, so she asked me to live with her." Zhou Manchun looked nervous. Her fingers uneasily stirred the corner of her clothes and her lips trembled slightly.
Zhao Lizi's eyes were very sharp. She smiled and said: "Really? Which colleague? Male or female? "
Zhou Manchun couldn't resist such a question. She could only choose to remain silent.
"Xiaochun, then tell me, at the cafe last night, did your blind date go well? I heard that someone called you sister-in-law? Whose wife did you become? Why didn't I know? " Looking at the silent Zhou Manchun, Zhao Lizi didn't know where to get angry. She had let Zhou Manchun receive the best education since she was a child. Now, her baby daughter lied to her. How could she not be disappointed?
Zhou Manchun's face instantly turned pale. She bit her lips helplessly and couldn't say a word.
The anger in Zhao Lizi's eyes deepened. Zhou Manchun was her daughter and she knew her best. Every time she lied and couldn't think of a reason to explain, she would frown and remain silent.
"Are you still not willing to say it?" Zhao Lizi was completely angry. She slammed her palm on the tea table, making a muffled sound.
The atmosphere around them became heavy. Zhou Manchun lowered her head. She didn't know where to start, but there was a belief in her heart. She must not say it!
Zhou Manchun pretended to be relaxed and said, "Mom, it's true. If you don't believe me, you can ask my colleagues."
"Is that so? But now I'm asking you, who is calling you sister-in-law? "Zhao Lizi said coldly.
"Mom, I don't recognize that person. That's a random name." Zhou Manchun tried to deny it, but she really didn't know that person, so the expression on her face was a bit real.
"Tell me, who are you living with!" Zhao Lizi's body trembled slightly. She was so angry that her whole face was full of anger.
This was the first time that Zhao Lizi was so angry at Zhou Manchun since she grew up.
"He's my colleague," Zhou Manchun insisted, swearing that she would not budge.
"You … you unfilial daughter. Did you do something shameful behind my back?" How could Zhao Lizi not be able to control her anger? There was even a hint of disdain on her face. This expression deeply pierced Zhou Manchun's heart.
"I didn't."
"Pa." The sound was loud and clear, echoing throughout the office.
And Zhao Lizi withdrew her hand. Her hand was still trembling slightly. Her heart was very painful, and she was very disappointed with Zhou Manchun.
Zhou Manchun looked at Zhao Lizi with a sullen face. Her eyes were very hurt. She was already sad enough that she quarreled with Jin Beisen last night. Now her own mother even misunderstood her. Even if she really did do something despicable, it was for the family. What did she do wrong?
"You are so despicable. Get out of here and reflect on yourself. I will investigate this matter clearly. You better think carefully about how to explain it to me." Zhao Lizi's sixth sense had always been very accurate. She was also very distressed when she personally slapped her daughter.
Zhou Manchun's eyes were filled with tears, and her pupils were trembling slightly, like a lamp that was about to be extinguished … A layer of mist blocked her vision. She had never suffered such grievances before.
Covering her face, Zhou Manchun almost ran out of the Zhou's Group.
The employees of the Zhou's Group all looked at Zhou Manchun's absent-minded appearance and secretly speculated in their hearts. At this time, Zhou Manchun was not in the mood to care about others' opinions. She wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.
Tears flowed out of her eyes. Zhou Manchun ran crazily on the sidewalk alone. The cars coming and going honked.
Zhou Manchun almost crashed into a car. The driver poked his head out of the window and cursed with a sullen face, "Psycho, you don't want to live. Even if you want to die, I still want to live."
She stared at the car with red eyes, but tears kept falling down. The driver was dumbfounded.
Bitter tears fell from the corner of her mouth. The salty and sour feeling spread in her heart …
Zhou Manchun did not know how long she stood like a fool. Suddenly, a strong force pulled her over. She thought she was going to die and closed her eyes in despair.
When she opened her eyes, she fell into a warm embrace with the fragrance of cologne. The man above her was looking at her with a worried expression.
It was Shi Mingge!
Zhou Manchun was even more panicked. She wiped her tears with her hand and lowered her head in embarrassment like a child who had done something wrong.
"Doctor Zhou, what a coincidence to meet you here," Shi Mingge said with a warm smile.
Zhou Manchun was silent. She felt too ashamed to see him. After a while, she said softly, "Thank you."
"Doctor Zhou, even if you're unhappy and want to cry, don't joke around with your life. Everyone only has one chance. You're a doctor, so you should know how precious life is. How many people in the hospital hope that they can live a healthy life every day? Why do you have to do this?" Shi Mingge's elegant face had a serious expression as he spoke in a very serious manner.
After listening to Shi Mingge's words, Zhou Manchun felt a little ashamed, but she was really sad.
"I'm sorry, I have to go back first," Zhou Manchun said to Shi Mingge after she reached out her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Let me see you off. I can't stop worrying about you like this," Shi Mingge took the initiative to say.
"It's okay, I can do it." Zhou Manchun shook her head. She did not want to owe Shi Mingge a favor.
There was a hint of worry in Shi Mingge's eyes. He rolled his black eyes and said, "Can you really do it?"
"Yes, I can." Zhou Manchun collected her emotions and squeezed a smile from the corner of her mouth with difficulty.
Shi Mingge sighed in his heart and shook his head. "You are really stubborn."
