After the divorce, Mrs. Zhou proposed to remarry with her three children.

Cheng Zhiwei was forced to have lunch with Zhou Lin, choosing a remote location at a restaurant near the company.

When Zhou Lin orders dishes, he always orders them according to Cheng Zhiwei's taste.

Listening to the name of the dish, Cheng Zhiwei thought for a while. In fact, she didn't remember what Zhou Lin liked to eat, so she simply said nothing and let Zhou Lin make arrangements.

Half an hour later, amid the melodious music, Zhou Lin put down his chopsticks, with a touch of warmth on his stern features: "Why are you here so suddenly?"

Cheng Zhiwei paused with his chopsticks. In the past three months, although he had been considerate in every way and his tone was gentle every time he spoke, she always felt that something was missing.

Just like now, he behaves flawlessly, is gentle and considerate, but there is always a little lack of feeling.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the rice in the bowl: "What is your relationship with Xu Zhenzhen...?"

After all she asked, she actually felt it didn't matter, even if Xu Zhenzhen was the one he raised outside...

"He Lanzhi's friend." He chuckled, "I thought you wouldn't ask."

"Oh." Cheng Zhi blushed slightly and lowered his head to poke at the rice.

Zhou Lin saw the blush on her cheeks and knew that if he didn't say anything, she wouldn't continue to ask, so he deliberately sighed and teased her: "I thought you would ask yesterday, but I didn't expect you to endure it until today."

"I heard someone say that she is yours, so I'll ask more questions to avoid doing anything inappropriate in the future."

She said it calmly, raising her eyes to look at him without hesitation.

She was calm, but Zhou Lin's expression changed.

Cheng Zhiwei saw that he had a bad look on his face, so he added, "If you like her, just tell me."

Zhou Lin's eyelids turned cold, "No."

"Oh." Cheng Zhiwei put down his chopsticks and stood up, "Then I'll go back first."

Zhou Lin stood up, sighed, took her wrist, frowned and said, "You should say it yourself, or should I ask Secretary Zhang to check it out."

Cheng Zhiwei was silent for a few seconds. She didn't really want to say anything because she was afraid that Zhou Lin would take that spot back for her, which would always mean bullying others.

However, Zhou Lin looked like he would not let her go without telling her. She was actually a little happy in her heart, so she pursed her lips and said: "You also know that I study music, and there is an anime ending song for me. I went to give it a try and agreed to sign a contract, but when I went there today I found out that they had settled on Xu Zhenzhen and said she was yours."

Zhou Lin rubbed her hair and softened his tone, "You want to sing?"

"Ah."

"Isn't it good to be a wealthy and idle person? Raise flowers, play cards, and go shopping with mom, eh?" Zhou Lin said unhurriedly.

Cheng Zhiwei's heart sank, and a sense of absurdity suddenly emerged. Where did she get the confidence to think that she could use his power to bully others.

"But I want to sing." Cheng Zhiwei lowered his voice, but was extraordinarily persistent.

"I'll let Secretary Zhang handle this matter."

Cheng Zhiwei hesitated for a few seconds and then agreed: "Okay."

She didn't want to argue at first, she just wanted to ask for details, but Zhou Lin's attitude made her want to argue to see what their relationship was.

After putting Cheng Zhiwei in the car, Zhou Lin knew the whole story within half an hour. He looked at the messages on his phone with a calm face and asked Secretary Zhang to make an appointment with Xu Zhenzhen for dinner.

Xu Zhenzhen walked a little slowly, and was carefully supported by the nanny.

"Alin, I thought you would never see me again." Xu Zhenzhen raised a smile, neither deliberately trying to please nor alienating her, as if she had completely let go of the matter.

Zhou Lin turned the wine glass with warm eyes, "I will give you a living allowance every month to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing. I can also give you resources to support you. Can you go to live in another city?"

Xu Zhenzhen's expression froze on her face, "Alin..."

"You shouldn't appear in front of Cheng Zhiwei." Zhou Lin said coldly.

Xu Zhenzhen's lips were trembling and her face was pale, "So you came to question me because of Cheng Zhiwei? I just gave you a ride in your car a few days ago, and she went back to get angry at you?"

Xu Zhenzhen burst into tears, "At first, you didn't have a girlfriend, so I thought about trying to fight for it. Even when I first approached you, I just wanted to be by your side silently. Later, you confessed your love to me, and I didn't want to destroy you." Feelings."

She knew the truth about Zhou Lin's confession to her, but if she didn't tell him, she wanted to make Zhou Lin feel guilty towards her.

It was all because of him that caused her misfortune.

Zhou Lin swayed his wine glass, the emotions in his eyes were blurred. The reason why he confessed his love to Xu Zhenzhen in the first place was not because he liked her very much, but because he knew she liked him, and he also wanted a female companion he could take with him.

The consequences of young and frivolous mistakes are unbearable.

"If you don't like me, you can just tell me that we can break up peacefully. But you and Cheng Zhiwei are together. Do you know that for me, that scene is like the sky is falling apart?"

"In the past three years, I have been sitting in a wheelchair like a loser. It was you who said you liked me that gave me the confidence to stand up and desperately want to come back to you." Xu Zhenzhen lay weakly on the table, crying hard. , "You clearly said that you would divorce her when the Zhou family's affairs were over. Why did you break your promise?"

Zhou Lin looked gloomy, "What happened three years ago was a misunderstanding. I was sorry for you, and it had nothing to do with Cheng Zhiwei, and she needs me now."

"I even lost my only sister and have nothing left. What do you want me to do?" Xu Zhenzhen stood up emotionally.

"You just had surgery not long ago, don't get excited." Zhou Lin frowned and reassured.

Xu Zhenzhen took a deep breath, "Okay, now you say that Cheng Zhiwei needs you... Even if you say that you have fallen in love with her, I can accept it, but Zhou Lin, I am also a person with integrity, and I cannot be like a beggar. By accepting your charity, I just want to fulfill Zhuzhu’s dream and live a self-reliant life.”

"It's just such a small wish, do you want to cruelly deprive it of it?"

Tears fell, Xu Zhenzhen covered her face, tears kept falling from between her fingers.

Zhou Lin took out a tissue and handed it over. Xu Zhenzhen took it and then threw herself directly into Zhou Lin's arms, hugging his waist tightly.

Zhou Lin struggled subconsciously, and Xu Zhenzhen's voice became hoarse from crying: "Zhou Lin, I have already paid the price for the wrong things I did back then. Please, don't force me, otherwise I really won't be able to survive. "

"Zhenzhen."

After a few seconds, Xu Zhenzhen took the initiative to let go of Zhou Lin, wiped her tears, and apologized with red and swollen eyes, "I'm sorry, I was too excited."

"It's okay." Zhou Lin said calmly.

"I'm sorry for Cheng Zhiwei, but my lover became her husband and my legs couldn't stand up for three years. This is enough to repay her."

She wiped her tears clean, raised her chin, and said with a wry smile: "If you are afraid that she will misunderstand, I will never say a word to you in the future and treat us as strangers. But Zhou Lin, if you want me to leave here, I Can't do it."

"Zhou Lin, tell me, do you really fall in love with her, or do you just feel that you misunderstood her back then, have been sorry for her all these years, and want to make up for her?"

"I..." Zhou Lin pursed his lips. He couldn't answer, so he fell silent.

Xu Zhenzhen smiled miserably and fainted in Zhou Lin's arms.
