Chapter 35

No one knows exactly what happened on the construction site that day.

The workers who were being examined only saw the woman who looked like a secretary beside Mr. Zhou suddenly leave the site without looking back, and only Mr. Zhou, who had no expression on his face, was left in the same place.

Mr. Zhou is still the same Mr. Zhou, who was born as a superior and doesn’t need to empathize with people who don’t have an easy life.

Indifference is the nature of their kind of people.

Those construction parties who had previously rejoiced and thought they would be able to take on more work had a look on their faces like they were treading on thin ice.

They are afraid that what they are waiting for is not a potential partnership, but a bloodbath unlike any they have seen before.

Zhou Yinchu tries to prove that it’s business as usual, but he doesn’t realize how deep his face is, thinking that this woman at least has a heart, and that he’s glad that she’s here to break up all the barriers between them–

It was all an act.

He wanted to ask Wen Ning if every moment she spent with him lately, including her behavior in bed, was carefully designed by her, just for the sake of that dead Li Yuanzhe–

Who the hell is he?

He’s dead, how dare he come out at this time?

Zhou Yinchu had never felt such a deep dislike for a person before. In his established knowledge, since he was a dead ghost, he couldn’t stand in the way of the living.

Since they are dead, they should lie in their coffins in peace, and don’t move around to annoy people.

Wen Ning’s behavior is simply lard.

It is absolutely impossible to forgive her.

After he had created the illusion that everything could go back to the past, the woman was not shy to tell him in the cruelest way that this was an illusion that she had created with great care.

It wasn’t fair.

“Wenning, where are you?”

But when he returned to the hotel suite and realized that the empty area was devoid of the woman he was expecting to meet, his heart subconsciously tightened.

This place for him, every memory for him, is an unbearable humiliation.

The woman on the other end of the line made no sound.

But he heard the noise of the other travelers in the traffic, and it gave him a headache.

“You’re leaving?”

Without even the barest of goodbyes, he’d left without saying a word. He didn’t expect her to wait hard for her at the hotel, but he also didn’t expect her to turn around so quickly and without attachment.

This was Wen Ning, the woman who had made him think about her for half his life.

“How am I clear …… on whether you will still reach out for help.”

The voice of the woman on the other end of the phone was extremely subtle, so subtle that it could almost be treated as inaudible.

“I naturally won’t!”

It was unlikely that Zhou Yinchu would let up when it came to matters related to Li Yuanzhe.

“I’d either be fucking crazy for me to allow you to trample on my self-respect to go in order to prove another man’s innocence.”

As for what this guy Li Yuanzhe had actually committed and how he had come to the end of his rope, to a dead end, he really didn’t care at all.

He even vaguely hoped that Wen Ning was equally oblivious to this.

The name itself was a taboo.

If time could be turned back, he wished that this man had never come between him and Wenning at all.

Even if he had taken some special, disdainful and despicable measures, he wouldn’t have minded.

The man who himself was not considered noble was unable to hold himself calmly in this matter, “Wen Ning, he has no relationship with me whatsoever.”

Then, there is no more.

That phone call was followed by a busy signal, knowing the other party’s purpose and ambition, and also knowing the established fact that he was being used.

But Zhou Yinchu could not accept that the woman in front of him was realistic to such an extent that she could hang up this call without mercy after learning that he had no desire to help her.

Zhou Yinchu angrily smashed his cell phone into the distance.

Yet again, because he accidentally skimmed over the phone when he noticed a light, he went straight back to fetch it near the nightstand again, mistakenly believing that the woman’s conscience had played a trivial role.

It turned out to be an irrelevant text message from a meeting.

Nothing to do with her.

At first, Zhou Yinchu tried to convince himself that they probably weren’t really in the right place to be communicating at this point in time, but, in the immediate aftermath, he had to admit that he longed to see her name flashing on his phone, and that he always felt like she should have something to say to him, even if it was just a few feeble and pallid explanations –

if she was willing to coax him a little.

Wen Ning knew from Zhou Yinchu’s emotions that it was harder than ever to get Zhou Yinchu to help in this matter.

On the second class seat of the high speed train, there was no shortage of noisy, raucous voices from all directions.

As a result, it seemed that no one would ask questions of the passenger who looked strong and not to be messed with, but instead, as soon as someone raised their eyes, they aimed them at her without any good grace, “Stop calling.”

Admittedly, Wen Ning wasn’t all that eager to hang up that call immediately.

Zhou Yinchu’s words hadn’t been finished, and even if their relationship was on the verge of breaking, she couldn’t be so blunt with him in the end.

In this way, it appears that she is utilitarian, at the time when the man love can not be helped, she hung up without explanation, even to the point of a few cold hearted cold lungs.

But in the way of the habit of not wanting to affect the bystanders, Wen Ning subconsciously strangled this call.

While continuing to sustain this call, the two had almost nothing to say.

After all, she didn’t know what else she could communicate with Zhou Yinchu outside of the case about Li Yuanzhe.

If put into the present, she knew that deliberately and unabashedly caring about his recent situation would at any time be taken as a means to get close to him and use him –

If she had to care about him in a superfluous way, then if she fell into a man’s ears, she would be making a joke out of him for no reason.

Also thought of sending a “can not continue to call” text message, explain the reason, but the worst thing has been done, these are also meaningless.

She was the one who was looking for him with a purpose that wasn’t very bright; she was also the one who had unconsciously blurred her initial thought of going to find Zhou Yinchu.

It was precisely because she did not understand her own confused heart at the moment that she eagerly wanted to make that one thing clear with Zhou Yinchu.

Her request was not met.

Despite knowing it in her heart, the various manifestations regarding Zhou Yinchu’s behavior in the matter concerning Lee Yuanzhe were more emotionally volatile than she had imagined.

In other words, her own past, for Zhou Yinchu, was not something that could be accepted in its entirety.

It was on top of this kind of psychological foundation and perception that Wen Ning really thought that it would be difficult for them to go back to the past, and the illusion that she had almost created by spending time together all these days made her completely strangle it in the cradle.

They briefly circled the adult world for a while, but returning to reality, she had Chuchu, a person who had once started a small independent family.

As for Zhou Yinchu, the freshness that had momentarily developed after this reunion was always worn down as the days passed.

When that time came, she might have to start worrying again about whether or not a man with that high of an eye would use her past to humiliate her.

Wen Ning was afraid of this cruel assumption, so she preferred that she cut her ties this morning.

As for the matter of Li Yuanzhe, in fact, she was not completely helpless, Wen Ning since she did not pay such a large sum of tuition fees for Chuchu, the money saved is not impossible to consider a new legal counselor …… is not necessarily to rely on that man.

Wen Ning admitted that she insisted on taking this road to go to Zhou Yinchu, in fact, it has also long been mixed with her unspeakable and unrecognizable selfishness.

Fellow passerby: “I just want to shout you ‘don’t call’, so that others around the quiet point, but also not intentionally to ……”

Tears hazel eyes, I do not know when and covered with a layer of water mist, only hovering in the bottom of the tears, never a drop fell down.

At this stage, Zhou Yinchu and all things related to him were forcefully put aside by Wen Ning.

She quickly adjusted, only to say nothing about all the things that had happened between the man and her in her mother’s occasionally expectant gaze.

It was the first week of Chulch’s transfer.

She, the mother, had already missed the important occasion of sending him to his new school and meeting his new classmates, and she was unwilling to miss out on other related matters.

Therefore, when Li Che mentioned this week’s “garden party”, Wenning agreed without even thinking about it.

Li Che was also sharing about his new life at school in the past two days: “The new school playground is huge, I like it very much.”

Of course, a child from a poor family wouldn’t just be interested in “having fun”, the real reason for Li Che’s interest was elsewhere.

“If you’re willing to participate in the activities organized by our school, there are also a lot of interesting competitions …… many of which you can get prizes for.”

“Prizes”, that’s what her children are most concerned about the focus.

Originally thought that, in the face of different classes of family circumstances, Wenning worried about the child’s psychological changes, however, Chuchu was not afraid to face this not-so-small gap head-on, but also tried to find ways to alleviate her financial burdens, it was impossible for this matter not to make Wenning touched.

“If mom doesn’t win the contest ……”

The main thing is that she doesn’t want her children to stretch their expectations too high, and Wen Ning always felt that her mediocre talent would make it difficult for her to win the so-called grand prize.

Li Che acted as if he had a full and comprehensive understanding of the competition: “Among them, there is a cooking competition.”

“Mom, your cooking is not generally good.”

The child’s eyes are always bubbling with a hidden light, she can not turn a blind eye to his expectations.

Probably because of accompanying their own growth …… have not seen much of the world, not to mention tasting foreign restaurants, the domestic several major dishes are not within the scope of their involvement.

Jiangcheng this place, in fact, in the final analysis are fresh seasonal dishes, to say Hen cooking food, Wen Ning can not talk about superior craftsmanship.

She thought that she might have agreed too quickly.

However, it is rare not to have to perceive the child’s emotions from amongst the pushed words, but to see new joy in those young, fluttering eyes.

No mother can fail to notice keenly the transformation found in her child.

Chul looked much more liberal than he did at that time in Center Street Elementary School, and these sharing desires did not seem like they were specially prepared to comfort a mother, but were like the natural thoughts of every person unfolding a new life.

So, on this initial option of finding Zhou Yinchu, Wen Ning never regretted.

What she regretted was that the two had been entangled for such a long period of time, at one point causing her to get lost in a forest she couldn’t see the end of.

“Chuchu, then mom reluctantly gave it a try.” Returning to her senses, Wen Ning said stiffly.

Despite the fact that Wen Ning wasn’t actually a sociable person with a serene nature and wasn’t outgoing, she was able to go to a meeting on a mountain of daggers for the sake of her own child, so how could she back down for the sake of a mere parent-child garden party and cooking two meals.

She, like all mothers under the sky, thought hard about which dress to wear early in the morning.

Zhou Yinchu could not be said to have been put out of her mind, but could only be said to have been put aside for the time being; a mother, especially a mother who has to attend a campus event for her child, is often too late to attend to her own personal feelings.

Wenning, who thought that she had ended this topic, suddenly realized that today’s Li Che was a bit different from usual, hovering at the stairway all the time, wandering around in a daze.

He hadn’t seen such uncertainty in his usual chess games.

Wen Ning did not pursue the question.

The well-behaved and understanding boy seemed to have hesitated on this matter for a long time, and finally slowly opened his mouth, “Mom, I want to team up with my classmate Qin Xi Yue, can you contact the other party’s parents?”

In the past, it seemed that Che Che’s relationship with his little friends were all considered good, but to say that the ones who were really close actually weren’t.

And when that prematurely matured child changed schools and suddenly had more close classmates around him, as a mother, it was impossible not to be relieved.

She rubbed Cheol’s hair, but when she asked him about his classmate, Li Che, who had always been very responsive, stammered.

“Is it a female classmate?”

Knowing one’s son is like a mother.

Li Che didn’t deny it and nodded numbly, even his ears shabbily became red.

“This is a good thing, regardless of whether it’s a classmate of the opposite sex or not, you shouldn’t be excluded from interacting with them, and there’s no need to feel embarrassed.” Wen Ning, who was awkward in the face of emotional issues herself, was not generally patient and gentle in guiding the child.

She thought that Chuchu was still a young child, but after a blink of an eye, he seemed to be growing into an adolescent with his own worries.

Wen Ning did not have any idea of dominating her son, never thought it was a taboo for single-parent families, if as a mother she was strong and overly interfered in the child’s life, that the future is not conducive to Che Che to manage his intimate relationships.

At this point, Wen Ning had foresight.

She didn’t continue to side-step and interrogate other details, but instead went to the imported snack store on the next street, and not knowing what flavors the other child liked, she took some in bits and pieces.

Wen Ning, who came out of the snack store carrying a large bag, swiped a string of unfamiliar numbers on her cell phone, “Hello, my name is Qin Yi.”
