It was four o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at Zhong's house. Liang Yin looked at this familiar place through the car window, his eyes trembled.
Since she moved here with her grandmother when she was fifteen years old, Zhong's house was a place she often visited. Grandma and Mrs. Zhong are close friends in the boudoir. They have no one to rely on in their later years, so they meet to live together. Mrs. Zhong has no children, and the only thing left by grandma is her granddaughter. She lived here one vacation after another, and the Zhong family even had her exclusive room.
But she never thought that she could come back. It may not be easy to change from "the Zhong family's little sister" to "Zhong's wife", but it is really too difficult to return from "Zhong's wife" to "the Zhong family's little sister".
Zhong Mingzhen drove the car all the way to the door and stopped. Someone came to open the door. Seeing that it was her coming down, there was a momentary accident, but soon he smiled and shouted: "My wife is back." Naturally, they all knew that the husband and wife divorced But when they saw them coming back together, they still called "Ma'am".
Zhong Mingzhen did not inform them in advance that they would come back.
They are all old people of the Zhong family. Watching Liang Yin grow up, and seeing her marry into the Zhong family, their relationship has been deep for so many years.
Liang Yin lowered his head and smiled, but did not respond.
The driver had also parked the car on the side, got out of the car, and opened the trunk. When I came back, I went to the hotel to pack my things, so I naturally knew what was inside. Zhong Mingzhen also walked over and took down the luggage inside for him. When he saw the bag next to him, he turned around and asked, "Do you want to take this up?"
Liang Yin had already followed, saw what he was holding, took it and said, "I'll do it myself."
This is a bag full of snacks that Zhou Jianchen bought for her.
Zhong Mingzhen glanced at it, but didn't care - in her impression, she didn't seem to eat snacks.
The driver had already walked in with the luggage, Zhong Mingzhen turned around and said, "Let's go."
Xiao Tian had already taken the bag from her hand, and Liang Yin followed suit.
Walking inside, the old lady of the Zhong family came out in a wheelchair, "Yinyin is back!" She said with obvious surprise on her face. She is a very kind old lady, graceful and peaceful. She is over 70 years old this year. She fell down when she came down the stairs a few years ago, and she has been sitting in a wheelchair since it was cold.
Liang Yin called "Grandma" and handed over the gift in her hand. The gift was bought when she came back. In a friend's jewelry store, she picked out a pearl brooch inlaid with gemstones, which cost hundreds of thousands, but in the end it was Zhong Mingzhen who swiped the card.
The old lady of the Zhong family took the gift, and turned back to tell the servant, "Quick, quick, let Wu Ma prepare a few more dishes and make Yinyin's favorite food!" After finishing speaking, she took her hand again, "When you come back All right, just come back."
Zhong Mingzhen didn't inform her, and she only thought that they would not come again this year.
Liang Yin felt a little heavy in his heart when he heard this.
"Go in and talk." Zhong Mingzhen spoke again from behind.
The servant hurriedly pushed Mrs. Zhong to the living room, and Liang Yin followed.
Along the way, the servants called her "Madam" when they saw her, but Liang Yin still didn't respond.
Dinner was ready quickly, and there were only four people sitting on a table. The old lady of the Zhong family sat in the main seat, Zhong Mingzhen and Liang Yin sat on both sides, and Xiao Tian sat next to Liang Yin. Oda was a little cautious, the old lady only greeted her enthusiastically, and Liang Yin also picked up food for her with serving chopsticks.
Although Oda is an assistant, she is also a guest here, even though she is also a guest.
The dishes on the table were very rich, all of which she liked, and Liang Yin was in a bad mood while eating.
After dinner, they were busy again, Xiaotian was taken to his guest room, Zhong Mingzhen also went upstairs, Liang Yin stayed behind, and sat in the small living room to talk with the old lady.
The old lady's legs were covered with a blanket, and there was pity in her eyes, "Yinyin, can't you and Mingzhen remarry?"
Liang Yin just lowered his head and shook his head again.
The old lady looked at it and sighed heavily again.
She already knew the "insider situation" of their divorce, and this question was just a fluke. Ming Zhen never brought back the one named Qiao Shan, and this time he came back from abroad to worship with her, she thought, maybe there is still a chance. But she also knew how much Zhong Mingzhen liked the girl named Qiao Shan back then. If they really got back together, it would be impossible.
The old lady met Qiao Shan. It was many, many years ago. She came here with his friends. She didn't like this kind of girl, she was too active and impetuous, but Ming Zhen liked it. She could only Smile and welcome.
She has been in Zhong's family for decades, and she seems to be stable, but it's just right.
She knew that Zhong Mingzhen would have the final say in the future of the entire Zhong family, so she could only cater to her, not against her. The eldest room drove away the second room, although she was accommodated later, it was not friendly after all. She took care of Zhong Mingzhen for several years, and his temper was not in her control after all.
In those years, it was not without selfishness that she treated Liang Yin kindly. She had no heirs, so she had no foundation in the Zhong family. If she could let Liang Yin marry into the Zhong family, she would have something to rely on. She looks so good, it makes people feel distressed, maybe she will fall into Zhong Mingzhen's eyes, and she has no relatives except a grandmother.
Later, she got what she wanted, and she didn't reveal too much, she was the happiest in her heart.
Only now, it's all gone.
Mrs. Zhong was a little confused. She was selfish at the beginning, but after all these years, why didn't she have any real feelings.
After a while, Mrs. Zhong went back to her room. After all, she was old, and although she was pampered, she was not as good as ordinary people. Liang Yin sent her to the room and settled her down before going out.
"Madam, the room has been packed." Outside the door, the servant was already waiting.
Liang Yin nodded and followed her upstairs. Mrs. Zhong's legs and feet are inconvenient, and she has been living downstairs since then, but her room is upstairs.
It was past eight thirty, and it was very quiet upstairs. In fact, the Zhong family has always been very quiet. The Zhong family house is very large, but there are really too few people.
Father Zhong was at odds with the old man, so he moved out early, and later resigned, and simply moved abroad to recuperate, and Mother Zhong naturally followed; Zhong Jianian didn't live here, and once Father Zhong left, he seldom came back.
The Zhong family's house is very big, but it is really too deserted.
If they hadn't come back, apart from the servants, there would be only the old lady left.
Going up the escalator and walking through the aisle, the servant stopped in front of a room door on the right, opened it, turned around and asked, "Madam, do you want some hot water for you?"
Liang Yin looked at it, but paused.
What the servant opened was Zhong Mingzhen's room, which was later their bedroom.
Liang Yin didn't move forward, the servant might have forgotten the fact that she was no longer Mrs. Zhong, but she still remembered. When she came up, she just wanted to go back to the room she used to live in.
Her room is still in front.
The servant looked at her and paused, only to reply: "This was arranged by the young master just now, he said that he will let you live here later."
Liang Yin was stunned when he heard this.
At this time, the door of another room next to the corridor was opened, and Zhong Mingzhen walked out from it. Seeing their footsteps stagnate for a moment, they quickly closed the door and walked over.
This is his study, and he was working in it just now.
"Master, madam, then I'll go down first." Seeing this, the servant said again. Although they are already divorced, she doesn't know the truth. Some things should be resolved by themselves.
Zhong Mingzhen responded, and Liang Yin watched her coming, but did not speak.
Zhong Mingzhen put on a nightgown and put a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looked a little tired, but he quickly returned to normal.
He rarely wears glasses, that is, when he is particularly tired and needs to work.
He came back by plane after getting the news. He didn't catch the direct one, and changed planes twice. He arrived in Rongcheng in the early morning of this morning, and came to the cemetery without resting for a few hours. After that, he drove back here for a few hours.
Liang Yin looked at him, her eyes shaking a little. She liked the way he wore glasses very much, and it was only at this time that he made her feel that the distance was not so far away.
Zhong Mingzhen had already stopped in front of him, and said again: "You can live here tonight."
Liang Yin lowered her head, paused, and replied: "No need." She knew why he did this, he was afraid of embarrassing her.
Zhong Mingzhen looked at her and seemed to have something to say, but in the end he just lowered his eyes and said, "The things have been put in for you."
Then he said, "Go to bed early."
With that said, he turned around and walked downstairs.
Liang Yin looked at his back, her heart trembled, she turned her head, and her things had indeed been placed in the bedroom.
When the servant put the luggage on, she was taken to the living room, but he walked up with him. She didn't care at the time, but now, he should have ordered this matter...
Walking into the room, nothing has changed inside, what it used to be like now is still the same now, she looked at it, but her heart sank even more.
Five years ago, she had that time with him here.
And that time happened on this day.
The day before grandma's birthday.
If she had been more determined at that time, if nothing had happened at that time...
Liang Yin took a deep breath, her eyes turned red, but in the end she just walked to the table, took her things, and left the room.
Zhong Mingzhen wanted to give her dignity, but they were already divorced.
She took the things to the room that belonged to her, pushed open the door, and pressed the intercom again.
Chen Ma quickly connected, Liang Yin just said softly, "Chen Ma, please come up and help me tidy up my room."
Chen Ma was tidying up in the living room, she was a little dazed when she heard the call, she turned her head to look at Zhong Mingzhen who was at the side, but Zhong Mingzhen just drank the water in the cup without saying anything.
It was just the eyes, which became silent for a moment.
The room was quickly tidied up, Chen Ma backed out and closed the door again.
Liang Yin took out the contents of the suitcase, and his heart became empty, yet at ease.
At this time, the screen of the phone lit up and turned on, and it was Zhou Jianchen who sent a WeChat message.
"It's finally over, I'm exhausted."
Looking up, there are several more.
"As soon as you leave, it's snowing here." In the photo, there are snowflakes in the sky.
"I checked the weather in Rongcheng, it's below zero today, and it's still raining, so don't freeze."—It was ten o'clock in the morning.
"Have you eaten yet? I forgot to tell you. There is something in that bag called milk fritters. I heard from my manager that it's delicious. You can try it." — This is at noon.
"As soon as you left, the progress was obviously slowed down." - It was three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Old Du said he missed you." - It was six o'clock in the evening.
"I miss you too." - This is followed.
Liang Yin looked at them one by one, with a smile on his lips, but tears in his eyes.
Today she has been on mute, she has not looked at it, and has not responded.
Open the bag on the side, it is still full of things. He asked her to take it on the road, but she didn't have the habit of eating snacks, so she kept it on.
Take it out one by one, there is everything in it, bread, biscuits, cakes, potato chips, beef jerky, yogurt, milk, drinks... There is even a box of chocolates, a box of candies.
He seemed to treat her like a little girl, and he would buy her whatever she wanted to eat.
Liang Yin couldn't help but shed tears. Ever since her father died, no one has spoiled her so much, like a child, buying her cakes, candy, and other things that other children like to eat.
"Are you asleep?" Zhou Jianchen sent another message.
Liang Yin picked up the phone and finally got a reply, "Not yet."
…
That night, each could not sleep.
Until the next morning, they got up early again.
Mrs. Zhong changed into a more attractive dress, with a smile on her face, and also pinned the brooch that Liang Yin sent yesterday on her chest. Although her birthday will always be these people, but they are here, she is satisfied. As for the sadness of last night, she had already put it down.
When Liang Yin came down, Mingzhen had already come down. He was standing sideways in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and was talking on the phone. When he saw her come down, he turned his head and quickly looked away.
Seeing this, Liang Yin looked away, walked to the living room, and came to Mrs. Zhong.
"Grandma, happy birthday." She bent down and hugged her, wishing her birthday.
"Okay, okay." Mrs. Zhong also hugged her, very relieved. Then he said, "Sit down and have breakfast first, Mother Chen is ready."
"Okay." Liang Yin and Xiao Tian sat down, and then Zhong Mingzhen came back.
He didn't look at her again, with a strange expression of silence. Liang Yin felt it, but just didn't know it.
After breakfast, Zhong Mingzhen returned to the study, while Liang Yin and Xiaotian talked with Mrs. Zhong again. Just wait until eleven o'clock, and start lunch again.
Liang Yin had to rush back today, and Director Chen gave her two days off, but she had already delayed for a while.
Mrs. Zhong was very reluctant, but in the end she was helpless. Liang Yin had already left, so she could only respect her choice.
Zhong Mingzhen had someone prepare a cake, and when candles were lit, although there were fewer people, it was still more lively. It's just that after a meal, we have to say goodbye.
Xiaotian had already taken the luggage, Liang Yin changed his clothes, and said goodbye to Mrs. Zhong for the last time. When I looked up, I saw Zhong Mingzhen also changed his clothes and came down.
"I happened to be on the way, let's see you off." He walked up to her and said again.
Liang Yin was a little dazed, Zhong Mingzhen had already taken the luggage in her hand and walked out.
Along the way, there was some silence. He was still driving his car, and the driver was driving her car. After the previous conversation, she also somewhat knew the reason why he sent her. It was snowing on the set, so he was worried that Xiao Tian would drive her back.
It is said to be on the way, but in fact it is still a long way away.
Oda's driving skills are very good, but in their eyes, she is a little girl after all.
Liang Yin really wanted to say something, but what else could she say.
The car was speeding all the way, fast, but steady. Zhong Mingzhen's driving skills have always been very good. He played racing cars when he was young and never lost. Over the years, his edges and corners have been worn away more and more, and that kind of sharpness can no longer be seen.
Zhong Mingzhen's eyes have changed a bit. Over the years, he has had a lot, but he seems to have gained nothing.
In the rearview mirror, Liang Yin fell asleep with his eyes closed, quietly, without a single sound.
But the phone rang again soon, Zhong Mingzhen came back to his senses, and Liang Yin woke up for a moment. He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Ruona calling.
"Hello?" Liang Yin was a little surprised.
Ruo Na will always keep in touch with her these two days, and she also knows that yesterday was the anniversary of her grandmother's death. As for the previous rumors on the Internet, after Director Chen responded, she also reposted them as soon as possible. At that time, it aroused a lot of heated discussions.
Now everyone knows that she has an unusual relationship with her, but none of them has revealed what it is.
I just don't know how she would call now.
This time Ruona's voice was a little softer, "Yinyin, are you with Zhong Mingzhen now?"
Liang Yin was a little surprised, "How do you know?"
Ruona replied: "The photo of you and him was taken..."
Liang Yin's heart stopped beating as he listened. Yesterday she thought that person was a reporter, and then she paid attention to Weibo, but until last night, nothing happened, so she thought it was just a coincidence, but unexpectedly...
Ruona asked her to check Weibo first, then hung up the phone. Liang Yin opened Weibo, and her name appeared on the hot search list again.
Click in and take a look. In the morning, someone broke the news that Liang Yin, the movie queen, went to the cemetery to sweep the grave, accompanied by a strange man. Afterwards, Liang Yin got into the man's car and drove for a few hours. They entered a luxurious villa together. On that day, he did not leave again.
In the photo, one is Zhong Mingzhen walking back together with an umbrella for her; the other is that she is getting into his car; the other is that they entered Zhong's house together.
Looking at those photos, Liang Yin couldn't help feeling flustered. She raised her head and said to Zhong Mingzhen, "Mingzhen, I'm sorry, our photos have been posted on Weibo."
Zhong Mingzhen listened, paused for a moment with the hand holding the steering wheel, and quickly replied, "It's okay."
"But..." Liang Yin felt a little guilty, the Zhong family was so low-key...
She thought he couldn't bear to blame her.
Zhong Mingzhen looked at her anxious look, and said with relief: "It's okay, you don't have to worry." His voice was very calm, as if he really didn't take it seriously.
Liang Yin didn't know what to say, so she could only read along Weibo first.
This breaking news was sent out at ten o'clock in the morning. As soon as it appeared, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. Although Chen Huaen's response earlier shattered the rumors of "hidden rules" and suppressed the enthusiasm for "abandoned wives from wealthy families", the question of "which wealthy family Liang Yinghou married to" is a mystery after all. Now that the photos have been exposed, it is natural attracted a lot of attention.
Everyone wanted to know who the person above was, so everyone started to inquire. And when Zhong Mingzhen's identity was uncovered two hours later, the revelation instantly detonated the entire Internet.
Everyone only knew that the actress Liang Yin married into a rich family, but no one thought that the actress Liang Yin married into the Zhong family, the Zhong Group!
Who is the Zhong Group? Maybe many people have never heard of it, but when all its information is listed, it is enough to shock people!
It started as an industry, first involving cultivation, finance, shipping, mining, railways, brewing and other industries, and then involved in real estate, electronic information, high-tech and other fields. You may not have heard of its name, but the industry it designed Perhaps it has already been integrated into your daily life.
The Zhong Group looks very low-key and seems not famous at all, but carefully speaking, it can be called a wealthy family among the wealthy!
Zhong Mingzhen's photos were also exposed immediately. He rarely appeared in front of the media, but there were some omissions in the end. It was a picture of him listening to a report at an international chamber of commerce. He was sitting upright in a black suit, turned sideways, raised his head slightly, and looked focused. The soft light hit his face, handsome And calm. There were countless people in the auditorium, but at that moment, he became the focus.
When this picture came out, everyone cried.
The photo in the news is a bit far away. Although the face can be seen clearly, it is not so clear.
No one could have imagined that the head of the Zhong Group could be so handsome. With such good looks, there were no doubt how many people there could be in the entire entertainment circle.
Rich and beautiful, how could Liang Yinghou marry such a person!
Moreover, they don't look like they are divorced!
—Didn't it mean that Liang Yinghou was abandoned? You tell me, there is no sign of abandonment here!
—Abandoned, can I accompany you to visit the grave? Abandoned to hold an umbrella for her? Abandoned can take her home together? If this is abandonment, please be abandoned every day!
—You say this is a joke? Why are you saying that she is an abandoned wife, who would want to play tricks with you!
-Oh my God! So what the hell is going on here? Did Liang Yinghou get divorced? Who was the one who broke the news before!
— Does anyone know the truth, does anyone stand up and say something.
——Mr. Zhong holding an umbrella for Liang Yinghou looks really nice...
—…
If there were people who believed that Liang Yin was an abandoned wife of a wealthy family before, but at this moment, no one dared to believe it anymore.
The label of "a wealthy abandoned woman" seemed to be stripped off her body in an instant.
Liang Yin watched, her eyes trembling constantly. Seeing this, she finally understood. Understand why Zhong Mingzhen came back, understand why he appeared in the cemetery, understand why he took her home, understand why, when he told him yesterday, he just said "it doesn't matter", and when he told him just now, he was so calm...
Because everything is arranged by him.
No reporter would follow her all day and night to take pictures of her; no reporter would post only those three photos after following her for a day and night, but missed the time when they went back to the hotel together, had dinner together, or even picked out jewelry together picture.
She didn't realize it at first, but after watching the whole process, she understood everything.
"Ming Zhen, you also know what happened on Weibo before, right?" Liang Yin asked, holding back tears.
Zhong Mingzhen turned the car around without answering.
Liang Yin's tears fell instantly, and if he didn't answer, he acquiesced.
"You didn't have to do that."
Those things have long passed, and she won't take them to heart at all. He has no need and no obligation to wash everything for her before exposing others.
The Zhong family has always been so low-key, and he has always been so low-key.
Zhong Mingzhen stopped the car, was silent for a moment, and only replied: "It's okay."
It doesn't matter, he is willing to clean up all the grievances she has suffered because of him.
"Yinyin, let's remarry." After a while, he said again.
Liang Yin didn't answer, she just raised her head and looked out the front window with her eyes wide open.
On the steps ahead, Zhou Jianchen was walking down, when he saw her, he stopped on the spot.
His eyes were a little cold, filled with endless sadness, but he quickly withdrew his gaze, and just led A Zhao to continue walking forward.
Ah Zhao looked back, his eyes were extremely complicated.
Zhong Mingzhen's car arrived in front of the hotel at some point.
