Not Spare the Years - Chapter 126

During dinner, Zhou Zhenyue seemed to ask casually:

“Under what circumstances would a person be severely injured by his own family?”

The old man swallowed the food in his mouth and said, “Every family has their own scriptures, which is uncertain. What, what happened?”

“nothing.”

Zhou Zhenyue took another bite and chewed it for a long time.

After swallowing, he casually said again:

“…Saw a girl beaten and said it was her family.”

The old man looked at her meaningfully: “Oh—is it the girl you like?”

Zhou Zhenyue lowered her head to eat, and denied indifferently, “I don’t like her.”

The old man shook his head and smiled without saying a word.

A few days later, Zhou Zhenyue’s mobile phone was never disturbed by strange calls.

She called Xiao Ai: “Go and investigate Mu Xueyi’s family situation.”

Xiao Ai looked at her with a smile: “Mr. Zhou, you seem to be very concerned about that Miss Mu.”

Zhou Zhenyue: “…I just see how she can bear it. I’m afraid she will be bullied again at home, but she doesn’t dare to come to me.”

Xiao Ai was thoughtful.

“Afraid? But… Except for the company turmoil when the old man was critically ill, you don’t seem to be afraid of anything.”

Zhou Zhenyue was stunned.

That afternoon, she meditated in her chair for three hours. After thinking about it for a long time, I found that what Xiao Ai said was right.

Afraid that Mu Xueyi would be bullied, it was the only time she had the emotion of “fear” except for that crisis.

After get off work, Xiao Ai rushed over and took the results of the investigation.

“It’s incredible, Mr. Zhou, I thought that girl was an ordinary family who wanted to climb high branches, but I didn’t expect that she was actually the second young lady of the Mu Group!”

Zhou Zhenyue frowned: “An adversary?”

Xiao Ai shook her head: “She is an illegitimate daughter, not the same as the Mu family’s father and daughter who are against you. She has no power or power, and she cannot be petted. She has had a miserable life, and even the Mu family’s servants can bully her.”

“…” Zhou Zhenyue suddenly remembered something, “By the way, why do I think she looks familiar. I saw her at a business party before, with her father and sister…. It’s true that she is not welcome. children.”

She remembered that night, the solitary Mu Xueyi was holding an empty plate.

He couldn’t help but ponder, “The opponent’s illegitimate daughter… why did he approach me?”

Xiao Ai shrugged: “Maybe she really likes you? After all, Mu Guocheng is not so much her father as she is her enemy. Your enemy is also Mu Guocheng. As the saying goes: the enemy of the enemy is a friend, It’s normal for her to want to be close to you.”

Zhou Zhenyue: “Just in case, you can dig deeper about her.”

It took Xiao Ai a few more days to dig Mu Xueyi upside down.

But digging deeper and deeper, only to find more and more tragic experiences belonging to her.

When reporting to Zhou Zhenyue, Xiao Ai spent a long time talking about the case of Mu Xueyi being bullied. Those things are like fish fry in a net pocket, and they can’t be fished out. But all the servants of the Mu family would show off bullying the second young lady as a humiliating achievement.

That’s horrible.

It was so miserable that even Xiao Ai couldn’t help feeling that this second lady was not as good as an ordinary person like herself.

For the first time, Zhou Zhenyue realized so clearly that some people are really different from themselves.

She was born in the light.

But that person was born on the back of the light.

When Mu Xueyi was pursuing her for the third month, Zhou Zhenyue stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at Mu Xueyi who was teasing stray dogs, and asked Xiao Ai:

“Xiao Ai, have you ever thought about what is the meaning of your life?”

Xiao Ai laughed: “This problem is too big. Don’t say it’s me, most people in the world probably don’t know what the meaning of life is.”

Zhou Zhenyue said, “No, in fact, everyone knows it, and you know it too. For example, you work so hard, you really want to make money, right?”

“Yes!” Xiao Ai nodded, “I want to make money to buy a house.”

“Then making money to buy a house is the meaning of your life.” Zhou Zhenyue said, “As long as there is desire, desire will become a meaning.”

Xiao Ai suddenly realized: “It turns out that you can think about it like this.”

“…But my life seems really meaningless.”

Zhou Zhenyue glanced downstairs lightly.

“I have everything. Grandpa’s health is getting better and better, he has laid off another batch of employees, and there will be no more turbulence in the company in the future. My life is similar every day. Day after day… Even watching her tease the dog, It’s all a mechanical repetition…”

Xiao Ai didn’t understand what Zhou Zhenyue said and scratched her head.

Zhou Zhenyue suddenly curled the corner of her lips, raised her hand, and pointed at the girl downstairs who was feeding sausages to stray dogs.

“Do you think she can be the meaning of my life?”

Xiao Ai opened her eyes slightly.

“She is so bitter in the Mu family, so she must need me very much, right?”

There was light shaking in Zhou Zhenyue’s eyes.

Xiao Ai suddenly understood and smiled: “Mr. Zhou, are you really looking for someone who needs you?”

Zhou Zhenyue said softly, “being needed…is a very meaningful thing.”

Xiaoai: “However, there are actually many people who really need you. Why did you never think about others, but instead think about her?”

Zhou Zhenyue was speechless.

Xiao Ai smiled and said, “You are just looking for an excuse for yourself to accept her. In fact, you already like her, right?”

“…I do not like her.”

Zhou Zhenyue bent down with her straight waist, lying by the window, frowning like an ordinary woman. His ears were a little red, and his voice was soft and soft.

“But… try to like her, and… it’s okay too.”

She murmured vaguely.

Xiao Ai laughed: “I’ll help you invite her to dinner!”

In the restaurant, the last course of dinner was served, and the waiter bowed deeply to the two ladies at the table.

With a very comfortable smile on Mu Xueyi’s face, she looked at Zhou Zhenyue, who was sitting opposite.

“This seems to be the second meal we ate. You invited me last time, so this time I will invite you?”

Zhou Zhenyue said straight to the point: “You are Mu Guocheng’s daughter.”

Mu Xueyi was stunned for a moment, then his expression relaxed, and he said calmly: “Yes.”

Zhou Zhenyue: “Your father is my enemy, why are you pursuing me?”

Mu Xueyi rubbed the cup and glanced at the ground.

“…because…want to be your girlfriend.”

Zhou Zhenyue: “That’s all?”

Mu Xueyi still stared at the ground and nodded lightly: “Well.”

Zhou Zhenyue: “Based on the relationship between our two families, even if you and I are together, the future is very uncertain, and there may be many detours. Are you serious?”

Mu Xueyi lowered her eyes and nodded again: “Well.”

Zhou Zhenyue frowned slightly and coughed dryly.

“To be honest, I still haven’t liked you so far.” She said frankly, “However, I’ve thought about it for a long time. I think if I really want to like someone, it’s not bad to like you. We can try Give it a try. Try to get a little closer, try… can I end up liking you.”

Mu Xue’s clothespin dishes stopped.

Didn’t move for a long time.

“…Okay.” She pursed her lips and smiled, her cheeks a little red under the candlelight.

Zhou Zhenyue: “But this is very unfair to you. If I still fail to like you in the end, it will be a waste of your time and energy, and delay your pursuit of other correct people. Think carefully before answering me. .”

“it does not matter.”

Mu Xueyi’s eyes were gentle and soft, with a reassuring tolerance.

“I can wait for you.”

Zhou Zhenyue blushed, “…Then let’s talk about it?”

Mu Xueyi: “Well, we agreed.”

Zhou Zhenyue took out a printed booklet from her bag and handed it to Mu Xueyi.

“This is the plan I wrote. Take a look. If there is no problem, we will strictly follow this in the future.”

Mu Xueyi took it and opened it.

Zhou Zhenyue: “Make me a bento every day. Watch a movie once a week. Take me home from get off work every night, and hold hands on the way home. You can try hugging after a month, but only in a place where no one is around. Three You can try kissing after a month, but only on the face.”

Mu Xueyi smiled: “Why do you want to write this out? Just let it go.”

Zhou Zhenyue was silent for a while before replying softly: “I’ve never been in love, so… I don’t know what ‘natural’ is in ‘go with the flow’. This is a plan that I wrote after asking many friends. , there should be no mistake.”

Mu Xueyi closed the booklet and lowered her eyes, “Okay, I will listen to you.”

Zhou Zhenyue curled her fingers on the table.

The voice turned lower: “Why don’t you seem to have no emotional ups and downs?”

There was a hint of disappointment in his tone.

Mu Xueyi pursed her lips and raised her eyelashes tremblingly.

“…actually quite nervous.”

She unbuttoned the cuff on her left wrist, and rolled up her sleeve twice, revealing her white wrist.

She raised her wrist in front of Zhou Zhenyue, her eyes dodged a little, and she murmured very softly:

“You can… feel my pulse.”

Zhou Zhenyue stared at the wrist, hesitated for a moment, and stretched out her hand.

Carefully and gently, I supported it with my index and middle fingers, and my thumb pressed against the pale cyan blood on the inside of my wrist.

The accelerating pulse under the thumb is actually the same frequency as the beating heart in his chest.

What a thin wrist, and the bones are really beautiful.

As delicate as a work of art.

When releasing her, Zhou Zhenyue said, “I will give you a bracelet.”

Mu Xueyi fastened the button, “Why?”

Zhou Zhenyue lowered her hand and gently rubbed the index finger and thumb that had just pinched the opponent’s wrist.

“No reason.”

She picked up her chopsticks and put a piece of bamboo shoots on her plate.

“…Let’s go back today… holding hands?”

asked quietly.

Mu Xueyi buried her head and couldn’t see her expression clearly, only to hear her reply numbly:

“it is good.”

Zhou Zhenyue thought, this may be the most willful thing she has done in the past 25 years.

It is too dangerous to decide to further develop with the daughter of the opponent.

She’s been doing this sort of out-of-reason thing lately.

But…

very happy.

In the past 20 years, everything she did was done by her grandfather, and only today is dominated by her own will.

For the first time, like today, she made a decision just because she “wanted”, not because she “should”.
