A single name was enough to express his indescribable emotions.
Chen Xing gazed at Zhu Ziqing affectionately. He had thousands of words to say, but suddenly didn't know where to start.
Are you thanking me? Zhu Ziqing looked at Chen Xing tenderly.
You can tell? A trace of surprise flashed in Chen Xing's eyes, and then he smiled. He thought of the words, "Our hearts are connected."
In fact, I also want to thank you. Thank you for giving me a daughter. She is the best gift of my life. Zhu Ziqing smiled. Alright, let's not talk about this between us. Don't be pretentious.
You're right. Chen Xing smiled and nodded. He glanced at his daughter, and Chen Xing couldn't help but kiss his daughter's pink and cute little face.
Zhu Ziqing also called Deng Erming and invited him over for lunch.
Time passed. Ouyang Xuerong and the nanny went to the nearby market to buy groceries and came back quickly. Chen Xing focused on playing with his daughter, trying to make up for the lost time. Although he knew that no matter how much he made up for it, he couldn't satisfy his daughter's fatherly love, but at this moment, Chen Xing only wanted to cherish every minute he spent with his daughter.
Nanzhou City's Imperial Garden District, Deputy Mayor Zhu Zhenxi's home. At noon, his son, Zhu Zhiping, also came over for lunch. The family of three sat together happily.
Zhu Zhiping had his own residence, and usually didn't live with his parents. Most of the time, he only came over when he had something to do.
Zhiping, how's your company now? At the dining table, Zhu Zhenxi casually asked. When his son wanted to start his own business, he wasn't very supportive. However, his son insisted, so Zhu Zhenxi could only let him be. It turned out that his initial opposition was right. According to his own understanding, the Internet financial company his son founded had not made much progress. However, Zhu Zhenxi only knew the general situation. He didn't know much about the specific business situation.
The company's situation was just like that. It was just trying to make a living. Zhu Zhiping replied with a laugh. The company actually didn't make any money. Instead, it was losing money. However, Zhu Zhiping was too embarrassed to tell his father about it. Right, Dad, do you know a person called Chen Xing?
Chen Xing? Who is this person? I've never heard of him. Zhu Zhenxi chewed on the rice and shook his head.
So you don't know either. I thought it was some big shot. Damn, you almost scared me. When I get back, I'll teach him a lesson so that he won't be able to recognize his own father. When Zhu Zhiping heard that his father didn't know this person, he immediately cursed.
Wait, are you talking about Chen Xing? Zhu Zhenxi suddenly frowned. He took out his phone and searched for a photo to show his son. Is this the Chen Xing you mentioned?
Yes, yes, it's this bastard. Zhu Zhiping nodded vigorously.
This was the former mayor of Nanzhou. Zhu Zhenxi sighed. This Mayor Chen had a powerful background.
Zhu Zhenxi looked at his son, and his expression became serious. Did you have any conflict with Mayor Chen?
Dad, this person surnamed Chen used to be the mayor of Nanzhou, then what about now? Zhu Zhiping didn't answer but asked a question instead. His eyes were wide open.
He was now the mayor of Rivertown, a sub-provincial city. Zhu Zhenxi said.
Zhu Zhiping gasped. He didn't expect that he would inadvertently offend such a powerful person. He saw that Chen Xing was young, but he was already the mayor of a sub-provincial city. What did this mean? At this moment, Zhu Zhiping believed his father's "powerful background" without a doubt.
After a short daze, Zhu Zhiping came back to his senses and smiled bitterly. Dad, I might have caused trouble.
What's going on? Tell me the details of the situation. Zhu Zhenxi said solemnly.
Zhu Zhiping smiled bitterly and told his father about today's situation. In the end, he mentioned, "Dad, that Chen guy said that Zhu Yunlai would be able to come out in two days. In the morning, I thought he was just bragging, but now it seems that what he said might be true."
According to what you said, his relationship with Zhu Ziqing is not ordinary. Zhu Zhenxi frowned deeply. Zhiping, we can't continue this matter. We have to disassociate ourselves from Zhu Yunlai's case as soon as possible. Also, as for Chen Xing, apologize to him immediately.
Dad, I have already threatened him in the morning. Is it appropriate to apologize now? Zhu Zhiping's mouth twitched.
How is it inappropriate? You are a young man. Will he stoop to your level? Zhu Zhenxi curled his lips and said.
Dad, the key is, is it useful for me to apologize alone? Will it not be enough? Zhu Zhiping was still a little worried. He glanced at his father. Dad, would it be better for you to go with him?
It's best for you to go alone. It won't be good if I go with you. Zhu Zhenxi shook his head. Alright, just do as I say.
Zhu Zhiping could only nod helplessly when he heard his father's words. Zhu Ziqing had flown out of his mouth just like that. He could no longer covet the Zhu family's wealth. Zhu Zhiping was suddenly filled with reluctance.
Although he was reluctant, Zhu Zhiping looked at the time and said, Dad, I will go to Zhu Yunlai's house after dinner. I guess that Chen guy must be at his house.
Rivertown, Rivertown Hotel.
Zhang Ran sat alone on the sofa by the window. She held a glass of red wine in her hand and looked lonely.
The huge floor-to-ceiling windows allowed Zhang Ran to see the scenery of the whole city. She was on the 32nd floor. At this height, the whole city seemed to be under her feet.
Zhang Ran swayed the red wine in her hand with a face full of melancholy. The red wine that had been delicious in the past was tasteless now.
Zhang Ran had deeply experienced the fickleness of the world in the past two days. When the accident of her parents slowly became a reality, Zhang Ran deeply felt the changes around her. Take the luxurious suite she was living in now for example. When she lived here before, the boss of the hotel couldn't be more enthusiastic and hoped that she could stay here forever. He had never even mentioned the room fee to her. From time to time, he would come over and ask about her needs. But now, just yesterday, a manager of the hotel came over and reminded her that the room fee had to be paid, or the hotel would kick her out.
Zhang Ran was so angry that she almost vomited blood. Before her mother's accident, the boss of the hotel wished that he could come to her every day and even waived the room fee for her. Now that her mother was in trouble, not only did he not show his face, but he also asked his subordinates to urge her to pay the room fee. This man was too f * cking realistic.
Although Zhang Ran was angry, she knew that she was no longer qualified to show her attitude. Her father had been taken away by the Provincial Procuratorate, and there was no news of her mother. But it was definitely not a small problem. According to the familiar practice of the system, the more quiet there was, the more serious the problem was. Zhang Ran didn't even dare to think about how serious the problem was with her mother.
Taking a sip of the red wine, her mouth was filled with a bitter taste. Zhang Ran suddenly felt that she was so lonely. Her parents had met with an accident, and her home was gone. Her marriage had long since ended, and her husband was still in prison. She was now truly alone. She had lived her entire life until now, and she had become a complete failure.
Knock, knock … Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Zhang Ran's depressed thoughts were interrupted. She glanced at the door and got up to open it.
