"Qiu Ye, I know you are doing this for my own good. I thank you for your kindness, but please forgive me. I don"t want to see him." Jiang Zhixin shook her head and cried.
Qiu Ye was surprised by her reaction, "Do you have any other difficulties? If so, you can tell me. I might be able to help you. "
"No, you can"t help me. a.s.sistant Qiu, I am already very grateful for what you have done for me. "I"m working hard to earn money right now, I already have eight hundred thousand dollars saved up. I think if I try a little harder, five million will be enough sooner or later."
"A little more effort? How are you going to work? Drink hard? Are you tired of living? " Qiu Ye was a little angry.
"There"s nothing bad about drinking alcohol. It comes with money, and you don"t have to pay the price for it. Don"t you think Zhou Yi is generous just by looking at him?" Jiang Zhixin said with a smile as she wiped away the tears on her face.
"Do you really think so?" Qiu Ye looked at her in disbelief. "Do you know that your stomach is bleeding today? If you were sent to the hospital later, would you have died?"
"a.s.sistant Qiu, do you know? I am not afraid of death at all now. Death is a release for me. "
"Since you are not even afraid of death, then why are you afraid of meeting Second Young Master? What are you resisting? "
"I …" Jiang Zhixin fell silent. After a long time, she suddenly raised her head, looked at Qiu Ye with her bright eyes, and said, "You really want me to go see him, don"t you?"
"Yes." Ye Qiu nodded without any hesitation.
"Why? Why are you so good to me? "Why do you care so much about me?" she asked, her voice choked.
He had never thought that he would encounter a man who cared about him so much in his current state.
Even the former Jiang Zhixin had never met a man who truly cared about her.
Zhou Yi was the man she stole from Luo Qingyun. Although he loved her at that time, he still chose to retreat under the pressure of his parents.
In the end, she even started to doubt whether Zhou Yi had really loved her or if he had only used her as a subst.i.tute for Luo Qingyun and had given up on her just like how he gave up on Luo Qingyun.
Qiu Ye did not expect her to suddenly ask such a question. In fact, he had asked himself that question before, but he did not have a clear answer.
In other words, he didn"t know why he cared so much about her.
"Just treat it as I pity you." He could think of no better excuse than this.
When Jiang Zhixin heard this answer, she stared at his face for a few seconds as her eyes glittered. Then, she slowly nodded. "Alright. I promise you, I will go see Su Qize."
Seeing that she agreed, Qiu Zhu seemed relieved, "Okay, when you are discharged from the hospital, I will arrange for you to meet with him. It"s getting late, you should rest first. I"ve hired a nurse for you, and I"ll take care of you here. I"ll be leaving first. "
"Qiu Ye." Jiang Zhixin stopped him.
"Anything else?" Qiu Zhu asked.
"Thank you." she said.
"Rest in peace." She turned and left the room.
As Jiang Zhixin watched his departing figure, tears silently rolled down the corners of her eyes.
In the Grand Court Hotel.
Today was the appointed day to meet the Zheng couple.
Zheng Bao Zhu was initially worried that Su Chen Hao would change his mind. When she brought her parents to the hotel"s dining hall and saw Su Chen Hao and Bai Ci beside her in the host"s seat, the stones in her heart finally dropped.
"Ci Ci, we haven"t seen each other in a long time. Have you used any new beauty products lately? Why does she look so young? " Mrs. Zheng joked as soon as she saw her best friend.
When Bai Ci Hui heard her best friend praise her like this, an elegant smile appeared on her face. "Filial piety is the best form of maintenance. I, thanks to our Chen Hao, am now."
"That"s right, Chen Hao is indeed a good kid. Look at the number of rich second generations in our circle, who can compare to him now? Now that the Hao Ting Corporation had been handed over to him, he had managed it so well. It was truly enviable. Han Bo finally has a successor. " Mr. Zheng added.
"Aiya, Daddy"s Mommy, you just keep praising Brother Chen Hao, and you"re not praising me either." At this time, Zheng Baozhu intentionally acted like she was jealous, and said this to her parents coquettishly.
"That"s right. Our daughter is also very outstanding, especially when it comes to finding a husband. She"s much better than me." Mrs. Zheng said with a smile.
Mr. Zheng pretended to be angry when he heard that. Are you unhappy with me? "
"No, no. You"re great, too. " Mrs. Zheng quickly coaxed.
Bai Ci Hui saw the mutual affection between the two of them and felt a burst of jealousy in his heart.
In the past, wasn"t she and Su Hanbo an enviable couple?
If that woman hadn"t appeared at that time, perhaps they would have fallen in love until they were old, just like the Zheng couple.
But unfortunately, she probably wouldn"t have such good fortune in her lifetime.
Mrs. Zheng realized that Bai Ci Hui"s expression had changed, so she cleared her throat and stopped joking with her husband. She looked at Su Chen Hao seriously: "Chen Hao, Bao Zhu told us about the two of you. You know that your Uncle Zheng has always admired you, so for your marriage, we are one hundred percent in favor. Our Jewel Master isn"t that young, and it"s time for us to start our own family. "Ci Hui, what do you think?"
"As parents, we all have one goal, and that is to make sure our children are good. "That"s why I completely respect Chen Hao"s wishes in this matter." When Bai Ci Hui said this, he did not forget to look at Su Chen Hao.
"Chen Hao, what do you think?" At this moment, Mrs. Zheng looked at Su Chenhao, who was standing diagonally across from her.
"Since uncle and aunt have already approved of me, then you two can choose the wedding day. I have no objections." Su Chen Hao said calmly.
Although Bai Ci Hui knew that his son would probably agree to the marriage, she didn"t expect him to agree so readily. For a moment, she felt that it was inconceivable.
Mrs. Zheng immediately said, "Actually, before we came, we also wanted to see the master to see the calendar. The eighth day of next month is a good day for marriage, so why don"t we set a date for the eighth day of the next month? What do you think?"
"The eighth of next month? Was it too fast? Chen Hao has just recovered from his serious illness and needs to rest more. Since the wedding is going to be held, of course, we have to do it properly. Bai Ci Hui asked immediately.
"So it"s like that …" When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she glanced at her husband beside her.
Mr. Zheng understood what his wife meant, so he asked, "When does Mrs. Su think it"s appropriate?"
"In my opinion, it would be better if it was the end of the year. This way, we would have plenty of time to consider things over long term and organize a new and luxurious wedding. Secondly, Chen Hao"s injuries were all healed by then, and his body had also recovered. No matter how tired he was, he could still endure it. Jewel, what do you think? " After Bai Ci Hui said this, he looked towards the expectant Zheng Bao Zhu.
When Zheng Baozhu heard Bai Ci - hui"s request for her opinion, she naturally did not dare to refute her words.
She knew in her heart that Bai Ci Hui was not as fond of her as she used to be, so at this critical moment, she could only submit to Bai Ci and curry favor with her. This would help her to build a good relations.h.i.+p with her in the future.
Understanding this point, she immediately smiled and looked at Bai Ci Hui, "Hmm, I think what Aunt Ci says is very reasonable. Anyway, my wedding dress needs three months" time to be ready. At the end of the year, there will be plenty of time for the wedding."
Seeing that her daughter had already said so, Mrs. Zheng could only nod and say, "Alright, since my daughter thinks so, let"s go to the end of the year then. "Ci Hui, once you"ve chosen your date, find someone to send to my house. We will also quickly prepare the pearl and pretend to be it."
"That"s all right." Bai Ci Hui smiled, but in his heart, he was extremely unwilling.
The two families exchanged a few more words of greeting. At this time, the waiter came over to serve the dishes and everyone started to eat again with their chopsticks raised.
Su Chen Hao remained silent throughout. He did not say anything. Although Zheng Baozhu did her best to find a topic to talk to her, his att.i.tude was still indifferent, causing others to not be able to tell what he was thinking.
After finis.h.i.+ng their meal, Su Chen and his family were escorted out of the hotel. Then, he got into his car and drove Bai Ci Hui towards the direction of the mansion.
In the car, Bai Ci Hui was silent for a long time before speaking up slowly: "Chen Hao, have you thought it through clearly? Do you want to marry the pearl?"
"What is it? You are not satisfied with this marriage? " Su Chen Hao asked casually.
"I just think marriage should be done with caution." Bai Ci"s expression flickered for a moment before she replied.
Isn"t the pearl the daughter of your good friend? "The Zheng Family is a well-informed family, what do you need to be careful of?" Su Chen Hao asked deliberately.
Bai Ci could not retort and could only say, "I saw that you had yet to recover your memories and was afraid that you would make a decision that would make you regret your decision."
"What are you trying to say? Isn"t the pearl my fiancee? Since I already have an engagement with her, why would I regret it in the future? " Su Chen Hao could see that Bai Ci"s att.i.tude was a little strange from her words. He could not help but become even more confused when he heard her words.
Could it be that Bai Yiyi did not like Zheng Baozhu that much now?
"Mom just wants you to be happy. Actually, Mom has already thought through a lot of things these days. In this world, there is nothing more important than your happiness. Mom will tell you the truth. In fact, Zheng Baoyu is not your fiancee at all, she lied to you. " Bai Yihui had made up his mind and finally decided to tell Su Chen Hao the truth.
She did not want to one day see Su Chen recover his memories and find out that he had married a woman he did not even love. She believed that if that day really came, she would not have the courage to bear the consequences.
She was afraid that when the time came, not only would she never want the respect from her son, their relations.h.i.+p as mother and son would also be severed.
