Shen Manjun, who was hiding outside the wall, collapsed.
Especially when the sounds inside the wall became quieter and quieter, and everything returned to normal, Shen Manjun's mood not only did not feel relaxed at all, but instead became heavier and more desperate.
What's wrong.
Was he ambushed
Otherwise, why haven't you come out yet
The fragile Shen Manjun was thinking wildly. The more he thought about it, the more desperate he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he collapsed.
Suddenly. She stood up, no longer worrying about whether there would be a chance to come out after going back. He rushed towards the Zhao family gate like crazy. I want to know if Xiao Zheng is okay. He was dead and escaped.
"I risked my life to save you. You don't want to throw yourself into a trap."
Suddenly, a relaxing voice came from the dark corner. He held a cigarette between his fingers, and after each puff, he would quietly put it behind him to prevent anyone from noticing the red light in the darkness.
"You're not dead." Shen Manjun rushed over and hugged Xiao Zheng's body tightly. Trembling. "I thought,, thought you,,"
"Thought I was killed by him." Xiao Zheng raised his head, took a puff of cigarette easily, and said in a deep voice. "I'm not afraid to tell you. I did want to go over and kill him just now. But the environment didn't allow it, and there were too many people around him."
When Shen Manjun heard this, her body trembled involuntarily. Then, she subconsciously took two steps back and looked at Xiao Zheng with a pale face.
She heard clearly.
I heard that Xiao Zheng said that he wanted to kill his father, the Fourth Master Zhao who even he hated.
However, no matter how bad he was or how desperate he was, Shen Manjun never wanted him to die. After all, no matter how hateful and hateful he is, he is still his father.
How can any daughter in this world expect her father to die
"You,, want to kill him." Shen Manjun's lips trembled slightly and his eyes were distracted as he asked.
"Is there any problem?" Xiao Zheng asked cruelly. "He's already killed me once. And, I'm sure it won't be his last."
"Why can't we sit down and talk." Shen Manjun defended weakly. "He once admired you so much and hoped for you so much,"
"Can you deceive yourself with these words?" Shen Manjun shook his head lightly and took a puff of cigarette. "He appreciates me. Maybe. If he doesn't appreciate me, how can he entrust me with such an important matter? If he doesn't appreciate me, how can he dare to lie alone in bed and let me help him settle all this."
Shen Manjun said tremblingly: "He is old after all, and one day he will leave,"
"Ha." Xiao Zheng discovered that Shen Manjun had no IQ at all when he defended Fourth Master Zhao. I can't even find a reason for such a funny thing. Xiao Zheng, who was a bachelor and had no relatives, really couldn't understand it. "Can we believe that a bad person will not do bad things again just because he is older? Have you ever heard of a saying? It's not the old people who become bad. It's the bad people who get older."
Shen Manjun said with a dejected face: "I know that no matter what I say, you can't forgive him, but I hope,"
"What do you hope for? What would you do if you were me?" Xiao Zheng asked rhetorically.
"Me," Shen Manjun said blankly. "I don't know either,,"
"You know." Xiao Zheng said every word. "You just don't dare to face it. After all, you are not me."
Shen Manjun was no longer able to defend himself, and Xiao Zheng also realized that his words would undoubtedly cause great harm to Shen Manjun. Perhaps, it is precisely because Xiao Zheng has no relatives that he cannot put himself in Shen Manjun's shoes.
What would I do if the bad guy was not Mr. Zhao, but the old dean. Xiao Zheng thought, even if he was deceived by the old dean a thousand or ten thousand times, for the sake of raising him, he probably would not have any thoughts of killing.
Thinking about it this way, Xiao Zheng felt that he was too inhumane and too reckless. He couldn't help but break the silence and asked softly: "Where are you going?"
Shen Manjun also slowly cleared away the confusion and annoyance in her mind. She knew that she and Xiao Zheng would never be able to reconcile on this issue. I can never convince him. I had to let go of the fear that would never go away and whispered, "I don't know."
"After leaving home, you have to find a place to stay." Xiao Zheng asked. “Is the Empire State Building still liveable?”
"Since I left, it's naturally impossible to go back." Shen Manjun said bitterly. "Speaking of which, he removed me from my position as general manager a few days ago. Now, I am alone and no longer have any burden."
"Then let's find a hotel to stay in first." Xiao Zheng said calmly.
"Yes." Shen Manjun nodded and followed Xiao Zheng into the car.
With Mr. Zhao's energy, once Shen Manjun uses her ID card to stay in a hotel, she will be able to find out her whereabouts as soon as possible. Therefore, Shen Manjun would never use his ID card to book a room. Secondly, Shen Manjun came out in a hurry. Not to mention a change of clothes, I didn't even bring any money. So I could only use Xiao Zheng's ID card to book a room and have him pay for it.
"Open two rooms." Xiao Zheng smiled at the lady at the front desk.
In the middle of the night, he showed a gorgeous beauty to a room, but the young man asked for two rooms. He seems to be a fairly polite man. As a woman, the receptionist's attitude improved a lot and she quickly opened two business rooms for Xiao Zheng.
The front desk lady was pleased with Xiao Zheng's decision to open two rooms, but Shen Manjun was inexplicably strange. Doesn’t Xiao Zheng have a family? Didn't he already live with Lin Huayin? Why did you choose to open two rooms? Could it be that he planned to live here with him.
Perhaps seeing through Shen Manjun's thoughts, or perhaps wanting to explain his behavior, Xiao was waiting to accompany Shen Manjun to the elevator and said, "Your father will not only check your ID card, but I believe he will also check mine. Open two rooms to avoid being found by him at once. Keep an eye out."
When Shen Manjun heard this, the warmth that had just risen immediately dissipated, and she pursed her lips and said, "Understood."
After getting out of the elevator, Xiao Zheng personally opened a room for Shen Manjun, then browsed the layout of the room, and said: "The environment is a bit rough, but the living facilities are quite complete. You can just stay for one night and wait. Tonight, if you have any ideas, just tell me. I will make arrangements for you."
Shen Manjun nodded slightly and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Xiao Zheng smiled and then said slowly. "Then you rest. I'll come see you tomorrow."
After that, he strode towards the door of the room.
"Xiao Zheng." Shen Manjun suddenly said.
"Yes." Xiao Zheng turned his head slightly and smiled. "What's wrong."
"You can," Shen Manjun struggled. "Can you stay with me for a while."
Xiao Zheng's expression changed slightly, and he finally smiled and nodded: "Of course."
After closing the door, Xiao Zheng sat casually on a chair. Next to him was an ashtray, tea-making tools, and a card filled with service phone numbers. Because it was already early in the morning, Xiao Zheng, who had been busy all night, couldn't bear the hunger. Shen Manjun, who was sitting quietly by the bed, asked, "Are you hungry? Why don't I call for some food?"
"Yeah. Okay." Shen Manjun changed from normal and nodded. "I'm hungry too."
"Then let's eat together." Xiao Zheng smiled and called room service.
In the past few days, Shen Manjun was in such a low mood that he rarely even got out of bed, let alone eating. He seemed to be depressed all of a sudden. He couldn't cheer up for anything, and he was even less interested. Now, she was finally brought out by Xiao Zheng. Although a new life will begin from today. But for Shen Manjun, the future of his new life is uncertain. He doesn't know whether it will be smooth or full of thorns. She even didn't know whether to stay in Mingzhu or leave the city where she had lived for many years and go to a brand new place where no one knew about her.
Everything invaded her mind instantly, making her face complex and changeable, unable to calm down.
Xiao Zheng, who was sitting aside, saw Shen Manjun's complex and changeable expression. He couldn't help but light a cigarette, handed it to Shen Manjun and said, "Do you want to smoke?"
"Yes." Shen Manjun took the cigarette, took a deep breath, and then let the smoke circulate in the lungs before spitting it out from her seductive red lips.
After smoking a cigarette, Shen Manjun opened the hotel's built-in wine cabinet, took out a bottle of whiskey, then took out two wine glasses and filled two large glasses.
Gudu.
Shen Manjun drank a large glass of strong wine in one breath and exhaled.
She didn't speak and didn't know what to say to Xiao Zheng. Business. She and Xiao Zheng were destined to be on opposite sides. Even if she doesn't know how to stop him, she doesn't have the ability to stop Xiao Zheng from doing anything. But her identity determines the direction of her thinking.
Will she help Xiao Zheng kill his father? Never possible.
private matters.
If the former Shen Manjun could still find ways to get a chance to get along with Xiao Zheng in private, he would even use various methods to tease him. Seduce him. But now, Shen Manjun no longer has such courage. I don't even feel that way.
who is she.
She is the daughter of Xiao Zheng's enemy. In fact, Xiao Zheng was deceived by Mr. Zhao for several months because of her relationship, and in the end he had to pay the price with his life. She still had the dignity to pretend that nothing had happened and that she and Xiao Zheng had returned to their previous relationship.
When a woman has no way to communicate normally with a man, it is doomed that the woman and the man are destined to die. All is done.
Gudu.
As Shen Manjun drank cup after cup, his heart, which had already cooled down, was instantly shattered, as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Stop drinking."
Xiao Zheng stopped Shen Manjun, who had drunk a bottle of whiskey, with complicated emotions on his face, but said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "The wine here is more than twice as expensive as outside."
Shen Manjun was about to want to pay him back tomorrow, but considering that he was really penniless now and might not be able to be as lavish as before in the future, he couldn't help but put down his glass and said with a wry smile: "I drink two glasses of wine in a row now." I have no qualifications anymore.”
Although she was smiling, her eyes were filled with tears.
Yes.
She has nothing left.
There is no man she likes anymore, no father who dotes on her, no job, no freedom, and even life is gloomy.
