After a long time, Zhu Ziqing spoke first. "Mayor Chen, you go back first. We both need some time to calm down."
Zhu Ziqing's words stunned Chen Xing. He looked up at Zhu Ziqing and sighed. "Yes, we both need to calm down."
"Okay, I'll go back first." After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xing stood up.
They didn't talk much. Zhu Ziqing walked Chen Xing to the door. They looked at each other. Chen Xing didn't say anything in the end. He got in the car and left.
It could be said that today's reunion was a failure, but Chen Xing knew that what Zhu Ziqing said was not completely unreasonable. Perhaps it was just wishful thinking on his part. Even if he could reunite with his daughter and let her know that she had a father like him, so what? Would he let his daughter live as an illegitimate daughter for the rest of her life?
Thinking about this, Chen Xing was still a little absent-minded when he drove away from the villa. The car drove on the street outside. After a while, a car suddenly cut in from the side. Chen Xing was shocked. He was a little distracted, so he hurriedly stepped on the brake and rushed forward. His chest directly hit the steering wheel. Fortunately, he was wearing a seat belt. Otherwise, he would have been sent to the hospital.
Looking around, Chen Xing found that his car was completely on the main road. Even though he was a little distracted just now, the car didn't deviate from the main road, which meant that the fault was on the front side of the car.
Seeing that the car in front of him also stopped and didn't slip away, Chen Xing was angry. When he was about to get out of the car and question the driver, he saw the driver get out of the car in front of him and walk towards him. Chen Xing took a closer look and was stunned. Wasn't that the man who went to Zhu Ziqing's house just now?
Yes, it was Zhu Zhiping who deliberately stopped Chen Xing's car. He used this method to force Chen Xing's car to stop.
Looking at Chen Xing's license plate, Zhu Zhiping's eyes flashed with a trace of disdain. He calmly walked to the driver's seat and squinted at Chen Xing. What's your relationship with Ziqing?
Who are you to ask about my relationship with her? Chen Xing looked at him coldly. Did you deliberately not want to get into my car?
That's right. Why? Are you unhappy? Zhu Zhiping smirked and looked at Chen Xing threateningly. "I'm warning you, no matter what your relationship with Zhu Ziqing is, you'd better stay away from her. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble."
Zhu Zhiping said and pointed to the license plate. I remember your license plate. Don't think that I can't find you.
Threatening me? A cold light flashed across Chen Xing's eyes.
That's right, threatening you. Zhu Zhiping sneered. 'If you're not convinced, feel free to come and find me. I'll never change my name or surname. My name is Zhu Zhiping.'
After Zhu Zhiping finished speaking, he glanced at Chen Xing a few more times before leaving slowly.
Zhu Zhiping drove away. Chen Xing looked at Zhu Zhiping's license plate and repeated his name. He smiled coldly. 'Are some people so arrogant nowadays? Do they think they're the best in the world?'
Chen Xing continued to start the car. Chen Xing also left. After thinking for a while, Chen Xing called Deng Erming. The two of them arranged to meet at the teahouse last time. Chen Xing drove there.
Deng Erming arrived very quickly. As soon as Chen Xing arrived, Deng Erming also arrived. Seeing Chen Xing, Deng Erming smiled politely. 'Hey, Mayor Chen, you're here too.'
'You're not slow either.' Chen Xing smiled slightly. He turned here halfway, but Deng Erming almost arrived at the same time as him. Deng Erming was not slow either.
'I didn't dare to delay your call for a moment. I didn't want to keep Mayor Chen waiting for too long.' Deng Erming grinned and said, 'Mayor Chen, please come in.'
The two of them found a small private room and sat down. Deng Erming ordered a few snacks and looked at Chen Xing with a smile. 'Mayor Chen, did you come here for work last week and you haven't gone back yet?
I came here again today. ' Chen Xing looked at Deng Erming with a playful smile and suddenly said, 'Mr. Deng, you know a lot about Zi Qing's daughter, don't you?
Of course, Zi Qing and I have been friends for many years. When her so-called adopted daughter was brought back from abroad, I met her. It can be said that I have also watched little Niannian grow up in the past two to three years. As for her … 'Deng Erming said with a smile. As he spoke, Deng Erming saw Chen Xing's expression and his heart skipped a beat.' Something seems wrong? '
Deng Erming was not stupid. On the contrary, he was very smart. Chen Xing's expression made Deng Erming realize something. After thinking about it carefully, Deng Erming broke out in a cold sweat. He was too smart for his own good. Previously, he thought that knowing that Chen Xing and Zhu Ziqing had such a 'daughter' was equivalent to knowing their secret, and he could use this to further his relationship with Chen Xing. However, after thinking about it carefully, with Chen Xing's identity and status, how could Chen Xing feel at ease if such a 'secret' was known by outsiders?
After thinking it through, Deng Erming instantly felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He secretly scolded himself for being too meddlesome. Even if it was true that Zhu Ziqing and Chen Xing had a daughter, it would not do him any good if he knew it. The smartest thing to do was to pretend that he didn't know anything. However, he actually took the initiative to get involved. Wasn't he stupid?
'That … that, Mayor Chen, actually, I don't know anything.' Deng Erming looked at Chen Xing and laughed dryly.
It seemed that Mr. Deng was a smart man. Chen Xing smiled slightly. Deng Erming was not stupid. He had reacted so quickly.
Mayor Chen, I'm not a smart man. I'm too stupid and easily confused. But don't worry, Mayor Chen, I have one good thing about me. I'm tight-lipped. I won't say anything that I shouldn't say. Otherwise, Mayor Chen, you can punish me. Deng Erming lowered his voice.
The two of them were sitting in the private room, and there were no outsiders beside them.
Chen Xing was very satisfied with Deng Erming's words. One reason he asked Deng Erming to come out was to beat Zhu Zhiping. The other reason was that Chen Xing wanted to know what was going on with Zhu Zhiping.
Mr. Deng, do you know Zhu Zhiping? Chen Xing asked.
Zhu Zhiping? Yes, he is the son of Deputy Mayor Zhu. Deng Erming nodded.
Deputy Mayor Zhu? Chen Xing frowned. In his memory, when he was still the mayor of Nanzhou, there was no Deputy Mayor surnamed Zhu. But it was not strange. He had been transferred away for several years. Deputy Mayor Zhu should have been transferred here after he left office.
