Chapter 890
Chapter 890
Zhou Hanzhi is really annoying.
I was just politely asking about his situation as a friend, but because Zeng Zhi's acting was so realistic, my reaction was a little bit intense, and he actually took this opportunity to laugh at me and tease me.
He is still talking nonsense, who is his wife, who cried for him? How shameless!
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Hanzhi was still laughing, but his laughter didn't last long and he stopped immediately: "Okay, no more teasing, the old lady's matter hasn't been resolved yet. I sneaked out because I heard Zeng Zhi say you called, and I have to go back soon."
My relaxed heart was not so relaxed anymore, because it turned out that Zhou Hanzhi had sneaked out, and Madam Zhou had not finished scolding him.
He really didn't know the importance of the matter. His elder was angry, but he dared to sneak out to make a phone call.
"Okay, go back soon, I'm hanging up." I hung up the phone immediately.
But I regretted it the moment I hung up the phone. In fact, I still want to ask about the details, such as how did Mrs. Zhou scold him? What did she scold him for? Was it really just a few words of scolding?
He rushed here from overseas in a hurry, not only delaying important business, but also broke into Xiao Ye and my engagement party and took me away, causing everyone to talk about it and damaging the reputation of the Zhou family. Because of taking me away, he offended the Zhang family and the Yuan family and brought trouble to the family. After so many mistakes, can Mrs. Zhou really just scold me and let it go?
But Zhou Hanzhi's tone just now was so relaxed and casual.
Perhaps, Madam Zhou is old now, and she is not as strict in disciplining the younger generations as before. Perhaps, it is because she has feelings for Zhou Hanzhi, and Zhou Hanzhi is indeed the most outstanding one among the younger generations, so she cannot bear to blame him too much.
Anyway, I'm glad Zhou Hanzhi is okay.
I could finally relax, but after I put my phone down, I looked up and met Wu Ling's doubtful eyes.
She didn't say anything, just looked at me quietly, and her eyes already asked what she wanted to ask.
She wanted to ask me, Xuxu, did you rush back to Beijing and Hong Kong because of Zhou Hanzhi? Are you worried about Zhou Hanzhi? Did you cry for him?
I was instantly embarrassed, as if I had been caught thief. I quickly turned my eyes away from Wu Ling, bent down to pick up the crutch on the ground, and tried my best to look nonchalant: "I'm not doing this for Zhou Hanzhi, sister, please don't misunderstand me."
Wu Ling silently supported me and sat me down on the chair, but still said nothing.
But I felt even more cramped and embarrassed. I looked so ugly just now that I didn't even care about my injured foot. I just walked out, crying and asking to go back to Beijing-Hong Kong. I didn't even want to take the high-speed train and insisted on taking a plane to go back as soon as possible.
At that time, Wu Ling even thought that I was going back to discuss the termination of the contract with Zhao Feihan, and she comforted me, but what was the result?
In the end, I have to go back to Beijing and Hong Kong for Zhou Hanzhi.
I was talking to Zhou Hanzhi in front of Wu Ling. We were so close that Wu Ling must have been able to hear Zhou Hanzhi's voice over there. She must have also heard Zhou Hanzhi's laughter and the words Zhou Hanzhi teased me.
What a shame.
I usually speak so righteously in front of Wu Ling, repeatedly saying that I don't want to have anything to do with Zhou Hanzhi, and even don't want Wu Ling to mention Zhou Hanzhi's name in front of me.
What was the result? I cried for Zhou Hanzhi...
Wu Ling must be laughing at me right now, saying one thing and thinking another.
But I really didn’t say one thing and mean another. I had to explain this matter clearly, so I asked her again: “Sister, please tell me, don’t you believe me at all?”
"I believe you, and I didn't misunderstand you." Wu Ling heaved a sigh of relief after checking my ankle, straightened up, sat down next to me, picked up the teapot and poured two glasses of water, and handed me two tissues, "I know that you care about Zhou Hanzhi not out of love, but out of friendship."
"What?" Wu Ling's answer surprised me. I never thought that she thought this way.
She really stole my line. This is what I originally wanted to explain to her.
But when these words came out of her mouth, I felt so uncomfortable and it always felt weird.
"Don't worry, Xuxu. I really didn't misunderstand and didn't think too much about it. You said last time that Zhou Hanzhi saved Nannan and you. This is helping you. You owe him a favor. As a friend, it's only natural for you to care about him. This is all reasonable. I understand." Wu Ling continued, patting my shoulder in fear. "Besides, you're already engaged to Xiaoye, and you've already made it public and decided to get married. You can't have anything to do with Zhou Hanzhi anymore. I understand, so I won't misunderstand."
This analysis is really clear and reasonable, and it can be said that it fully expresses my thoughts.
There is no need for me to expend any extra effort to explain.
But why? Why don’t I feel relieved at all? Instead, I feel so uncomfortable.
It's even more awkward.
I always felt that Wu Ling was deliberately saying sarcasm to irritate me, but the look in her eyes was so calm and her tone was so natural, and I also knew that Wu Ling was not the kind of person who would irritate me.
She really seemed to think so.
“Sister, I just…” I opened and closed my mouth again and again, but when I spoke again, I was obviously lacking in confidence.
"I know Xuxu, you were indeed crying because of Zhou Hanzhi just now, but you have always been this kind of person, sincere and chivalrous, treating your friends' affairs as your own. When your friends are in trouble, you will definitely be anxious and sad. It's not like I just met you, I know your character, you are like this because you regard Zhou Hanzhi as a friend." Wu Ling once again interrupted me and said seriously.
It's the same again. Why does she always interrupt me and take over my lines, leaving me speechless.
My throat felt like it was blocked, and I felt so suffocated, but I couldn't utter a word.
"It's okay. Didn't Zhou Hanzhi just say that he was just reprimanded by Old Madam Zhou? Nothing else happened, so you don't have to worry." Wu Ling didn't seem to notice my depression. He smiled and pulled a tissue to wipe my face. "Your eyes are a little swollen. I'll ask Old Man Sun to boil an egg for you while I make dinner."
He seemed so considerate, but why did I feel even more uncomfortable listening to him?
The feeling of being suffocated became more obvious.
I felt really uncomfortable, but I couldn't say it. I could only nod my head resignedly and found another topic: "Sister, you just said that we can terminate the contract with Zhao Feihan smoothly?"
