Chapter 39: Please come back with me
Ever since Zhu Zilin told me about Bai Xue last time, we haven't seen each other for almost half a year, let alone contact him. He didn't know why he was so calm when he called me this time.
However, based on my experience with him, it was better to be careful.
Because I was very familiar with Li Menghan and the others, I directly answered Zhu Zilin call in front of them.
"Anan, have you eaten yet?" Zhu Zilin smiled.
The restaurant was full of people, so I didn't waste time talking to him." We' re having dinner." "What, you're looking for me?"
From the outside of my words, it seemed that he was not welcome. Zhu Zilin also had good eyesight," Then you should eat first. I have something to ask you. "Why don't I look for you when you get off work?"
I frowned. What could he ask me to help him? Even if he had something to do with me, it would be good if I didn't hate him and wanted me to help him? Beautiful!
"We don't have anything to do now," I said. "Don't say that I ca n' t help you. Even if I can help you, I don't want to help you."
The moment Zhu Zilin heard this, he became anxious and quickly explained," I know I... ."
Before he could finish, I coldly interrupted him and said without any hesitation," You don't have to tell me. We' ve already returned to the bridge. It's better to break it clean." After that, I hung up.
Li Menghan looked at me and asked," Is it that man?"
I nodded." He called and asked me to do him a favor. I directly rejected him."
Li Menghan nodded in agreement and supported me," That should be the case. Otherwise, if you help him this time, he will come looking for you next time." "Besides, he's not worth your help."
Zhou Huan was dumbfounded as he asked," Sister Lin, Sister Li, who are you two talking about?"
Li Menghan and Zhou Huan actually knew about my marriage, but Li Menghan was just a little bit clear. Zhou Huan was often a little stunned. They weren't on the same channel as us.
Li Menghan glanced around and tapped the table with his finger. He smiled at Zhou Huan," Hurry up and eat. Don't interrupt when it comes to adults."
After all, there were other colleagues around. Li Menghan was afraid that others would discuss my personal matters after they knew about it, so they quickly stopped Zhou Huan and continued asking.
Zhou Huan pouted in dissatisfaction and ate a mouthful of food." If you don't say it, I can guess it. I guess it should be Sister Anan..." ."
Before Zhou Huan could finish, Li Menghan patted his Zhou Huan lightly and asked," Why are you hitting me?"
I couldn't help but laugh. Li Menghan also laughed and shook my head. I was angry and amused at Zhou Huan.
Seeing the two of us like this, Zhou Huan rarely understood. She smiled embarrassedly and stopped asking.
Who would have thought that Zhu Zilin would continue to call me a few more times. I was a little annoyed, so I directly dragged him down.
At work this afternoon, Ye Jinyan called me and said that Bai Xue was feeling a little unstable. He said that he wanted to go take a look and ask for my opinion.
"What's wrong with Bai Xue?" "Is it serious?" I asked Ye Jinyan a few more questions because I knew that Bai Xue illness was mostly fake.
She might have really fallen ill because of that incident before, but now, I could clearly confirm that she was basically fine.
She wasn't sick right now, but she had been pestering Ye Jinyan. Did n' t she just want to be with Ye Jinyan? But now Ye Jinyan her parents already knew that Ye Jinyan and I had received the certificate, so she should know. Then why was she still pestering Ye Jinyan?
I couldn't figure it out, so I decided to wait and see.
Ye Jinyan replied," She seems to be sick again. She locked herself in the house and didn't let anyone else in. "Auntie Bai and the others are very worried."
I laughed coldly in my heart. This Bai Xue trick had been tried repeatedly. I just didn't know where to put her face after it was exposed.
"Since she locked herself in the room and no one is seen, what can you do?"
Ye Jinyan was silent for a moment. Then, he said," In the past Bai Xue I was the one who tried to comfort her. This time, she seems to be a little serious. Auntie Bai called personally, so I was just thinking about it."
Ye Jinyan momentary silence made my heart suspicious. Ye Jinyan wasn't a hesitant person. He was definitely hiding something from me.
However, I didn't intend to expose his lies. Instead, I said," You better go." Bai Xue Your illness has been repeated. After all, you are her good friend. It's human nature to go and have a look."
Although I had already agreed, Ye Jinyan still assured me," I'm just going to take a look and do me a favor. As long as Bai Xue's mood stabilizes, I'll be back."
Ye Jinyan had always been a talker. Hearing his words, I felt somewhat relieved.
Because Ye Jinyan went to see Bai Xue in the afternoon and Qin Lang was still working overtime, I went back by car after work. As soon as he got downstairs, he saw Zhu Zilin sitting on the stairs.
Seeing that I was back, Zhu Zilin was overjoyed. She quickly ran over and smiled at me." You're back," she said. "I'm afraid I' ll come to your office to disturb you, so I'll wait here for you."
I took a few steps back and kept a safe distance from him. I asked him," Haven't we been separated?" "Why are you looking for me?"
Zhu Zilin rubbed his chin and smiled at me." I know we've cleared up. I should n' t have bothered you again." But I did have an urgent matter with you. Only you could do this. "Please help me."
His face couldn' t hide his anxious expression. He had always begged me, changing his usual cold and arrogant expression.
I remembered that I had something to ask for Zhu Zilin, and he also told me back then. She even reminded me to Bai Xue carefully, so my attitude unconsciously softened.
"What's the matter with you? Just tell me now." Afraid that he would pester me, I quickly made up my request in advance." I'm just listening to what you' re doing first. I'm not sure I can help you."
Zhu Zilin was overjoyed when he heard this. He hurriedly nodded and said," Alright, alright. I'm just going to tell you. Whether you go or not depends on yourself."
I didn't expect Zhu Zilin to be so easy to talk to now. So, I said," Then tell me."
"It's like that," Zhu Zilin quickly explained." My mom was sick a while ago. She's pretty serious. I'm afraid she wo n' t be able to survive the past few days."
When I heard this, I was a little worried. Zhu Zilin mother treated me quite well. When I was with Zhu Zilin, she didn't let me do housework every time she came, but she bought me something she could n' t bear to buy.
"Auntie, are you in a bad situation right now?" I couldn't help but interrupt Zhu Zilin and ask him.
Zhu Zilin smiled. Her eyes lit up as she hurriedly said," After all, she's already old. She suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage a while ago and is still paralyzed in bed. "My sister has been taking care of her at home."
Hearing Zhu Zilin's words, I felt more at ease. It would be good if someone took care of her.
"My mother kept talking about you. You know it," Zhu Zilin said as she rubbed her nose in embarrassment." You know that although I'm a little shameless, I' m still filial. "I've never dared to talk to my mother about our matters. I' m afraid she'll get sick from anger."
He was indeed like this. Back then, he had treated me like a normal person, but he still cared a lot about his mother. He always mailed them to his home.
"That's why I was wondering if you could accompany me to my hometown tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Seeing my mother for the last time would also reassure her."
After saying these words, Zhu Zilin stared at me with burning eyes. The hope in his eyes was undisguised.
I originally wanted to refuse, but it was difficult to say anything. It wasn't that Zhu Zilin and I could n' t face each other, but Zhu Zilin mother treated me very well. She wouldn't be able to live for a few days now. With this small request, should I agree?
At this moment, Zhu Zilin phone rang. He quickly answered the call. I could vaguely hear Zhu Zilin mother calling him. They seemed to have mentioned me. Zhu Zilin held the microphone in one hand and whispered to me," My mom wants to talk to you. Look... ."
I nodded and answered the phone. I heard Zhu Zilin his mother say to me," Anan, are you busy with your work? I really miss you. "When will you come back?"
At this point, Zhu Zilin mother coughed a few times and continued," You and Xiao Lin are busy working. It's fine even if you do n' t come back. My body will slowly recover. Don't worry too much when you' re there."
Her words were a little sour. Thinking back to her current state, my tears almost fell.
When I heard Zhu Zilin mother's weak words, I quickly tried to persuade her," Ah... "Don't worry, Mom. I' m not busy with my work. I'll go back to see you tomorrow."
When Zhu Zilin's mother heard this, she smiled weakly and said," Alright, alright, as long as you have the heart." "You guys are busy with your work. It's fine if you do n' t come back."
After hanging up, Zhu Zilin thanked me again and again. I calmed down and thought of my impulsive behavior earlier. I immediately regretted it. However, he couldn't take back the words he said. 2
I sighed and said to Zhu Zilin," I only agreed to it because of your mother. "You helped me once before, so I'll treat you as a favor."
After saying that, I went home. When Zhu Zilin left, she was overjoyed and shouted to me," Then I'll leave tomorrow morning. Otherwise, it' ll be dark."
The more I thought about it, the more I regretted it. However, I had already agreed. I called Ye Jinyan to tell him about this.
Ye Jinyan had just answered the call and didn't wait for me to speak." Bai Xue's mood has just stabilized. I've already taken some medicine. "I'm going home now."
I swallowed my words. I was worried that if I told Ye Jinyan I was going to Zhu Zilin hometown, Ye Jinyan would disagree. After all, in his heart, Zhu Zilin had caused Bai Xue to become like this, and I had also suffered a lot from Zhu Zilin.
I was afraid that Ye Jinyan would get angry, so I didn't tell him. I just said," Then slow down on your way home." "I'm going back to chat."
I took a leave of absence for the manager. The manager said a few words to me, probably to say that I often took a leave of absence or something. I quickly promised that I wouldn't return in the future.
The manager we were changing was a powerful woman. She was the most selfless person, but fortunately, she didn't mean anything to us.
Early the next morning, Zhu Zilin picked me up not far from my house. I hurried downstairs and happened to see the Qin Lang of the morning exercise upstairs.
Seeing that I had packed up so early and walked downstairs, Qin Lang asked curiously," It's still early to work. Why are you going out so early?"
As he spoke Qin Lang he saw that I was wearing a casual outfit and said in surprise," Aren't you going to work? Where are you going?"
I happened to be stuck in the corridor by Qin Lang, so I had to tell him everything about yesterday.
When Qin Lang heard that, he frowned and said in disapproval," How could a person like Zhu Zilin change so much overnight? "You'd better be careful. If there's something wrong, call me quickly."
I agreed," I'll return it this afternoon. Nothing will happen."
Qin Lang didn't go upstairs. When I saw him running down, I noticed that he looked worried.
Seeing me running over in a hurry, Zhu Zilin smiled and said," Why are you panicking? I'm waiting for you here." "You're sweating."
He was about to reach out to wipe my forehead when I slapped his hand away and said angrily," Do you still want me to go back see your mother?"
Zhu Zilin awkwardly withdrew his hand and smiled." Of course. Let's go now."
Zhu Zilin's home was in a small village in City A. It would take about four or five hours to drive from the city. I had planned on leaving when I saw his auntie. He would be back tonight.
Along the way, Zhu Zilin didn't have anything to say. However, when he saw that I did n' t pay attention to him, he stopped talking. He just smiled and praised me," I didn't expect that the longer you look, the better you look. I' m the one who's weak."
I didn't answer him either. It was almost noon when I arrived at his house. His sister had already come out to see him when she heard the commotion outside. Seeing that it was us, she grinned and went back.
I didn't take the initiative to talk to Zhu Zihui. I walked straight to Zhu Zilin fucking room and saw his mother lying on the bed. The room was filled with the smell of Chinese medicine.
When she saw that I was back, Zhu Zilin mother was a little excited. She wanted to sit up and look at me. Before I could help her, Zhu Zihui rushed held her mother down." Mom, you're not feeling well. Do n' t move around." "Sister-in-law has come to see you. Let me help you sit up."
I glanced at Zhu Zihui. She didn't seem so filial before.
Zhu Zihui mother seemed to have reacted and said," Alright, help me sit up."
I asked her," Mom, how is your body now?"
As I asked, I observed her face. Although she looked skinny, she didn't have any flesh on her face. Moreover, the strength that she had just heard was not as weak as yesterday.
"There's nothing wrong with me. You do n' t have to worry." Zhu Zilin mother held my hand and asked me to sit down by the bed. After chatting with me for a while, she asked Zhu Zihui to cook for me.
Zhu Zihui became virtuous and agreed to go to the kitchen. I wanted to help. Zhu Zilin and his mother both pulled me and said that there was no need.
I smiled and said," Mom, I heard your voice on the phone yesterday. I thought you were seriously ill this time, but from your looks today, you seem to have gotten better."
Zhu Zilin mother's face was obviously a little awkward. Zhu Zilin quickly pulled at the corner of my clothes and whispered in my ear," I' m afraid my mother will be back in the spotlight. Don't say too much to avoid her suspicion."
After dinner, I said I wanted to go back. Zhu Zilin they told me to stay for a while, after a few hours of observation, I found Zhu Zilin his mother didn't seem to be seriously ill. But I couldn't understand why he lied to me.
Could it be to kill me secretly? I laughed at the thought. No matter how much they hated me, they wouldn't be so bold as to kill and silence me.
After dinner, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. If he did n' t go home, it would be too late. He insisted on leaving.
Zhu Zilin smiled." Do you want to take a nap before you leave?" "I'll see you off later."
My head was indeed a little sleepy, but I still insisted on leaving.
Zhu Zilin felt a little helpless." Then I'll drive. You wait here."
I wanted to follow Zhu Zilin out, but as soon as I stood up, my eyes darkened, as if I wanted to faint. Before I could hold anything, my body fell down.
Before I fainted, I seemed to hear Zhu Zihui laughter and her mother's cry.
