Fall in love with your enemy

Chapter 495: The road ahead is unclear (Part )

Continuing from the last time, my brother suddenly mentioned that Chen Yining was going to send Zhou Zhi to study abroad. He himself was not sure and not in a hurry, so he came to ask me what I thought. I paused. In fact, what's the point of telling him? Zhizhi and I both knew that this was inevitable. After all, Lao Hou ran into Lu Zeyun when he returned to Linjiang the next day, and Zhang Ji was so terrified when he caught a flying knife. It was impossible that Lu Zeyun did this himself.

Old Fu is still alive, which is undoubtedly the biggest threat to the second house. Zhou Zhi is still the grandson of the second house after all. It's better to think about it, so that he won't be like Shu Yi in the future. I raised this child, but I love him even if others don't. So I'll just send him away. It'll be safer if we don't meet.

So I lowered my head and said, "Brother, how can I interfere in this matter? You parents should make the decision. As long as Zhou Zhi is willing, I have nothing to say. Besides, I am also sick. Even if he stays, I am powerless to take care of him..."

The elder brother sighed and thought, "Forget it. I can't take care of it. Your sister-in-law is already five months old. If you get sick again, you should stop bothering Zhou Zhi. Let the couple take care of it themselves."

Brother Qingyun turned his head and said, "But Zhou Zhi is only six years old. He is going to study abroad so soon? His parents haven't come with him yet. After all, the old lady from the Lu family is not his real grandmother. After she recognized our family, how much real affection can be left? Don't you care at all?"

My brother was helpless and raised his eyes to point to his sister-in-law's room. I think he was in a difficult situation. He was forced to break up with Chen Yining, and within half a month, his sister-in-law had to marry him pitifully. Chen Yining also married Lu Zeyun with her belly full. They were a second marriage couple. The two who "took over" were innocent enough. Now that life is hard to settle down, who dares to mention the past? It's just a pity for Zhou Zhi. He can't please both sides. It's also unfortunate that the Chen family has no close relatives. Otherwise, Zhou Zhi could have been raised in the Chen family's old house near the river.

The elder brother thought for a while before saying, "It's up to Zhou Zhi to decide. If he doesn't want to go, then don't go. I'll buy him another manor and assign more stewards to take care of him. You can visit him often, but don't let him stay around Xingyun too often. She'll worry too much when she's pregnant."

Zhizhi couldn't stand it any longer, so she found an excuse to pull me away. She didn't vent until we were alone, and pounded the wall hard, "What do they mean? Chen Yining returned to Linjiang with your help, and Lu Zeyun also gained a foothold because of your connections. Now you're just walking away after using them up! You raised Zhou Zhi and brought him back to the Fu family! You risked offending Madam Xuan to fight for a share of the family property for Zhou Zhi, and now they've become considerate and loving parents? They quietly took Zhou Zhi away without saying a word!"

I was also very embarrassed, but in this situation I had no choice but to persuade him: "Okay, children's affairs are different from other situations. Shu Yi is an example. If it was my child, I would also be ruthless and take him away. All parents are like this. What's more, the attitudes of the Chen and Lu families are not clear yet. I am just a cousin. If I say that I love Zhou Zhi, don't I use him as a hostage? Since we are using each other, let's stop when it's beneficial and don't blame anyone. Forget it."

"Cousin, when I forced the boat into your hands without caring about anything, I didn't think about the fact that you were just a cousin." Zhizhi snorted coldly, still with a bad face, but she calmed down after all, so I could ask her something else.

"So what's the situation in Jinhai now?"

"My uncle is still building momentum, uniting all the relatives of the third room to throw dirty water on my uncle. Of course, my uncle doesn't admit it. I heard that they had quarreled privately. My uncle said that there was no need for him to hurt Shu Yi in the same way, because it was too obvious. My uncle retorted that if it wasn't an accident, he didn't know that my uncle would use allergies to deal with you. The allergy caused an asthma attack and suffocation. Such a murder couldn't be more perfect. But my uncle also said that he had reasons for bullying you, but it was completely unreasonable for him to target Shu Yi. Li Zi didn't hear what my uncle said afterwards, and he was called away."

I made some judgments and leaned against the wall with a sigh of relief. "Dissatisfaction is the most important reason. My uncle's attitude has always been ambiguous. Although my second uncle and I are not evenly matched, neither of us can easily swallow the other. My uncle is the key link. Who he helps will determine the outcome. How can I sit back and watch? He harmed Shu Yi and put half of the suspicion on me."

"Then even if Second Uncle denies it, it won't work. After all, who would believe the explanation of a murderer?" Zhizhi smiled coldly, and then he turned his head to me and said in a more gentle tone: "I just feel sorry for you, but the price is too high."

I didn't reply to the second half of his sentence. Fortunately, Zhizhi was used to it and just focused on discussing the plan. I felt relieved and continued: "So now, even if Second Uncle takes action, we have to give him a push secretly. What about William? Any news?"

Zhizhi shrugged, "He doesn't show up much, and if there's any problem, it's Wang Fusheng and his people who take care of it. Liang Sen is very tight-lipped, so I can't get any information from him. But I think he's just starting with those ships. I heard a rumor recently that the search and rescue team found the remains of the ship, and in addition to the explosion residue, they also found some dirty things on it. They're more ruthless than us, and it will be a bit troublesome for the government. I think he just wants to contain Second Uncle and make him unable to cope, and he doesn't plan to go any deeper."

I nodded, "That's enough. By the way, don't keep it secret from my brother. If anyone from the second room comes to see him, we shouldn't stop them. Just keep an eye on the things on his computer at all times. If there are any inappropriate articles, get rid of them immediately. If there are any more inappropriate things, it's none of our business."

"Don't worry, the news about the contraband is a secret. I only learned about it after asking around. There's no way an article will be published anytime soon."

"That's not necessarily true. Wen Ke is too close to Second Uncle now. If he is desperate and lets Wen Ke leak information, then my brother will not sit idly by and watch the family be confiscated. In a hurry, he will do something that catches us off guard. We will regret it then."

Zhizhi frowned in distress, and after a while he sighed with amusement and helplessness: "That's right, but I just don't understand, what on earth does Wen Ke like about Second Uncle? Why is she so devoted to him? She's fine, she's just in her early thirties, and Second Uncle is almost sixty..."

I couldn't hold back my laughter, and immediately gritted my teeth and gently hit her: "Stop it! Don't expose it. I don't want to have a second aunt who is only a few years older than me..."

“You’re much better now. Your brother is the one who collapsed. Wen Ke is only three years older than him. Hahaha…” He let go all at once and tried very hard not to laugh so loudly. His facial features were distorted, and I was no less embarrassed.

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed that Wen Ke seems to be the same age as Liang Sen. If we follow seniority, Liang Sen has to call her Second Aunt, hahahaha..." The more I thought about it, the more immoral it seemed. It was very difficult for me to stop, and I coughed twice while covering my mouth. "Okay, okay, after all, we haven't even started dating yet. I think Second Uncle is still very loyal and he won't sacrifice his lust for her. As for Wen Ke, she was so badly betrayed by her father, she must be lacking fatherly love. Second Uncle is helping her so much in her career, it's really easy for her to fall into it, right?"

"If you lack fatherly love, you should want to call your second uncle dad. Why can't you just call him husband? I think Brother Qingyun is very normal. He lacks love but treats him as a son." Zhizhi bit his lip and restrained himself after saying this. He took a deep breath and returned to the topic: "Okay, okay, what about Liang Sen...why don't you go ask him?"

"Didn't Liang Sen say that he was tired enough? I won't cause him any trouble. Since I can't get anything out of him, I'll just find someone else." I pulled the corners of my mouth to smile. I finally made it to this day. Some things can't be delayed any longer: "Tell General Nata that we will go to Mada in a week. I will go there to apologize to him sincerely."

Zhizhi raised her eyebrows and roughly understood what I meant, and raised her chin towards the outside: "What about Fu Shuyu?"

"Call him back. He's not leaving in this situation. He doesn't look like he's just here to watch the fun. The people above are fighting, and it would be best if our eldest branch could withdraw. No matter who wins or loses, it's none of our business." I said a little tiredly.

"There are trees in the garden?" Zhizhi paused for a moment, feeling a little gloating, but then became distressed again: "But now is a good opportunity. You know Fu Shuyu's ambitions. Can he be obedient?"

"I have my own way." I had just said this when the "little actor" happened to arrive.

The sound of bare feet walking came from the end of the corridor. Soon, Yangyang came over holding the little bear and rubbing her eyes: "Sister, I can't sleep. Can you hold me?"

"Hey, you're already a grown-up kid, and you still ask your sister to hold you. Aren't you ashamed?" Zhizhi said with disgust, and only behaved himself after I hit him.

I leaned over but didn't hug him. I just brushed my fingers across Yangyang's fair cheek and slowly moved them to his knees: "Yangyang, do you remember what your sister told you? Now only you can protect your sister, will you be your sister's little man?"

Although Yangyang was still confused, he nodded. He was six years old and understood many things. I told him how to get out of an extremely chaotic "battlefield"? In addition to relying on his own ability, he could only disguise himself as the fuse of the war. We are victims and have nothing to do with blood and disputes. We are just a reason for several forces to break the peace and criticize each other. When they are too busy to take care of themselves, they will temporarily ignore the vulnerable groups, and then in the end, they can let the fishermen benefit from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam.

So five days after Zhu Siying came back, Yangyang's leg injury relapsed and she rolled down the steps in front of the central courtyard and couldn't stand up. Naturally, I pretended to be extremely anxious and heartbroken before asking an important question. Yangyang's leg had been very stable, so even if something happened, it wouldn't be so sudden. So was there someone plotting against her?

Brother Qingyun took the lead and brought a group of managers to search even the ant holes. They soon found many needles stained with unknown liquids in Zhu Siying's room. They sent them for inspection immediately. The matter could not be concealed and was exposed the next day. Chengcheng went home quickly when he found out, his face full of shock and his eyes almost popped out. Yangyang lay pitifully on the bed with tears streaming down her face.

"Sister, does my brother really want to hurt me? Why? Is it really my brother? I don't believe it, I don't believe it! Why would my brother do this to me..."

I sat on the bed, hugged Yangyang and cried, "No, no, Yangyang, believe me, don't listen to other people's random speculations..."

I cried while waiting for news. After a while, Zhizhi came and whispered in my ear that Qi Cheng heard that Zhu Siying was detained, so he immediately spread the video of the nurse breaking Yangyang's legs in the hospital. Although there was no substantial evidence that Chengcheng had bribed her, it would definitely be dug up and re-investigated if it got out of hand. But I didn't have to worry, because my second uncle found out about it soon after, and he was so angry that he almost beat Qi Cheng to death. Unfortunately, it was too late. My brothers found out about my sophistry, and they all knew that Zhu Siying was sent by my second uncle. Even if Chengcheng was the original murderer, my second uncle was targeting an innocent child in order to sow discord between me and Chengcheng.

My brothers sat on the other hospital bed without saying a word. I had almost cried enough. I rubbed my swollen eyes and coaxed Yangyang to sleep. Then Chengcheng came over, anxious and scared: "Sister, listen to me, it's not me, I really wasn't... I didn't know anything about this! I only chose those who were from the eldest house and whose whole family was in the eldest house. I thought it would be safe enough. I didn't know who ordered Zhu Siying to do this... I'm sorry... I was wrong, sister, I was really wrong, please hit me! I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter, but it really wasn't me..."

"You're still so loud! Are you planning to wake Yangyang up again?" I lowered my voice and shouted at the top of my lungs. After that, I punched Chengcheng on the chest a few times. Finally, I leaned on his chest and cried as if I had lost all hope. Chengcheng hugged me, at a loss. I guess he hated me to death at this moment. He felt very wronged, and there was no way to investigate. He had to take care of my crying first.

The brothers remained silent, except Gao Xinci who knew about the past. He took the time to glare at Chengcheng a few times and then pulled me back into his arms. After a while, Lu Zeyun came in a hurry, and the first thing he did was to check Yangyang's legs. Later, Chen Yining and my second uncle and younger uncle came in one after another. Seeing my appearance, they calmed down their anger and comforted me. I responded while covering my face with a tissue, responding to Lu Zeyun's puzzled look after observing for a long time.

Of course there was nothing wrong with Yangyang. When he saw me like this, he understood that I was very talented in acting. He covered the quilt back and sighed deeply.

Yangyang was woken up again, and looked at Lu Zeyun with tears in her eyes: "Brother Xiaolu, can my leg be healed?"

Lu Zeyun's mouth twitched, and he was probably thinking in his heart that like sister, like brother, this is a really good trick, but after a while, he still showed a gentle smile: "Yes, I believe in you, brother."

He turned around and told me to go out with a heavy face, as if he was going to sign a critical illness notice immediately. Chen Yining was so scared that she was a little dazed. When I stood up, my legs went weak and I almost fell. Cheng Cheng and Gao Xinci hurriedly helped me up. My uncle was so anxious that he stepped forward and pushed Cheng Cheng away to take his place until he handed me over to Lu Zeyun.

"Go and listen, poor Yangyang, you are the only one left now..." said the younger uncle in a hoarse voice, his vicious eyes swept across Chengcheng, and finally moved to the second uncle as I expected.

The second uncle was very calm and looked back at him with a sneer.

I was still crying, gasping for breath, and feeling a little regretful. Fortunately, the effect was very obvious. Before leaving the house, I finally heard my uncle speak without any concealment: "Second brother, are you through?"

The second uncle also turned around with a stern face and said, "There is no evidence, but you put everything on me, Mingyan. I can't help but wonder if you really have justice in your heart or if you have been dissatisfied with me for a long time and are about to explode now."
