    ?

    Once such an idea came up, Xiaoshi seemed to be unable to wait any longer, and couldn't wait to meet each other and pour out everything in his heart.

    She checked the bus route with her mobile phone, and then squeezed onto a bus with nervousness and anticipation.

    Xiao Shi came to Wutong Manor after a while, and the security in the villa area was very strict, so they stopped her at the door.

    Xiao Shi immediately rolled up the scarf that covered half of his face, and reported the room number of the residence.

    The security guard stared at her for two seconds and remembered.  There are very few people living in this neighborhood, and there are only a few faces coming and going. Yan Xiaoshi's and Zhou Shaoting's faces are both eye-catching, so they are naturally not unfamiliar.

    It's just that the way he looked at Xiaoshi was a little strange. He heard that the house she was going to was a bit hesitant to talk, but in the end, he didn't say anything and just let her in.

    Everything in the place is familiar, the warm yellow halo of street lamps shrouds the silent corridor, and the wind makes intoxicating sounds through the branches of sycamore trees.

    Xiaoshi could walk to the house full of warm memories even with her eyes closed, but now that she has approached, she doesn't feel any warmth.

    All the windows were darkened, creating a desolate and desolate place.  Xiaoshi's heart went cold in an instant. Although she knew that there must be no one inside, she still walked to the door unwillingly and rang the doorbell.

    The bells rang through the villa one after another, like an earnest call, but they couldn't call out a miracle.

    Xiaoshi lowered his hands in frustration, feeling infinitely terrified.

    Did they move out in less than two weeks?  Why are you in such a hurry?

    Yes, yes It seems that Zhou Shaoting really has made up his mind.  Since he has decided to let go and is not prepared to turn back, of course there is no need to keep this residence.

    Xiaoshi's heart sank suddenly, and she even staggered her steps. She leaned her back against the door panel, facing the dark night, without any luck.

    She leaned quietly for a while, and then mustered up a little more courage, fumbled for the phone with numb hands, and called up the most frequently used contact.  His fingers trembled slightly and hovered over it, but he couldn't touch it no matter what.

    Since they were discharged from the hospital, they have never been in contact with each other. They just live in the same city, living in peace and not disturbing each other.

    Xiaoshi suddenly became timid, as if he didn't dare to break the precept, hesitated left and right, and finally called Jin Xin.

    The moment the other party answered the phone, Xiao Shi was almost grateful for the existence of such a person.

    "Hey, Jin Xin, it's me. Are you with Shao Ting?" Xiao Shi spoke softly, as if afraid of being heard by someone, and also very slowly, because her lips were frozen and she couldn't control herself.

    "Wait a moment," the other party said, as if he had taken a few steps, probably trying to avoid something deliberately.  I don't know, is it to avoid Zhou Shaoting?

    Xiaoshi waited anxiously until another kind voice came from the phone: "Okay, let's talk."

    "I" Xiao Shi hesitated, feeling her throat was congested, she swallowed, and then asked, "Shao Ting, is he busy?"

    Jin Xin avoided the corner of the dining room, cast a glance at the mother and son at the dining table, and said in a normal tone: "Ah, yes, I'm busy. When he finishes his work, I'll tell him and ask him to call  you."

    When Xiao Shi heard what he said, she suddenly became nervous and said in a panic: "Well, that's no need, I'm fine."

    "Really?" Jin Xin didn't believe it.

    "Hmm" Xiao Shi racked her brains to think of an excuse, "I seem to have lost something, and I wanted to ask him if it was left there. Then, I found it again. That, you  I really don¡¯t need to tell him, I will contact him again if I have something to do.¡±

    "Where are you now?" Jin Xin asked abruptly.  He listened to the background sound on the other end of the phone, which was very empty, unlike indoors, and it was getting late at this time.

    Xiaoshi hesitated for a moment, then said vaguely, "It's outside."

    "Where? I'll pick you up." Jin Xin's voice was anxious.

    Xiaoshi's heart suddenly swelled, what familiar words, what a familiar feeling, but unfortunately, she could never go back to that so-called "home".

    Seeing that she didn't answer, Jin Xin picked up the microphone and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Shi, are you listening?"

    "Oh, yes, yes," Xiaoshi recovered and said gratefully, "Thank you, but don't bother, I'll be home soon."

    Jin Xin didn't insist anymore.  When he hung up the phone and turned around from the corner, he was looking at Zhou Shaoting's gaze, which was so clear, as if it could penetrate everything.?

    Zhou Shaoting watched Jin Xin walk into a small side hall next to the dining room.  Zhu Ping didn't like to eat at the same table with Jin Xin's mother and son, and it happened that they didn't care to eat with her either.  Therefore, as soon as Zhu Ping came back, Jin Xin's mother and son moved to the side hall to eat with other servants, so as not to dislike each other.

    Zhu Ping coughed lightly, and then Zhou Shaoting looked back at his mother who was sitting across from him.

    Zhu Ping looked at her son with dissatisfaction in her eyes, "Why are you absent-minded? Did you listen to what I told you?"

    Zhou Shaoting gave a "hmm" and reached out to pick up the vegetables.

    "Don't be so errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, you have to take it to heart!" Zhu Ping looked at her son's chopsticks¡ªanother pile of vegetarian dishes, and she frowned.  What's wrong with this kid?  In the past two days, I haven't seen him eating meat much.  In the past, there was no pleasure in meat, could it be because of a bad appetite?  still¡­¡­

    Zhu Ping looked serious, cleared her throat and said, "There are some things I didn't want to ask you at first. I think you are old enough to have your own space and privacy. But now, thinking about it, I feel uneasy."

    Zhou Shaoting took a bite of the food in his mouth, slowed down his chewing, and only heard his mother ask in a low voice: "I heard that you haven't been home for a while, and you live outside?"

    Zhou Shaoting didn't seem to be surprised. He continued to finish the mouthful calmly, and then said in an inexplicable tone: "It's nothing. Who did you listen to? You also saw that I am at home well."

    Naturally, Zhu Ping would not reveal how she knew it, but Zhou Shaoting already knew it.  Over the years, whether it is in life or work, whenever he has a big movement, he can always be heard by his mother.  He's used to it.

    As for the house in Wutong Manor, although Xiao Shi had already moved out, Zhou Shaoting always went back to live in it.  He always has a feeling that as long as he stays where he is, that "home" is still there; as long as he keeps a lamp, there is hope for the one who returns home

    But his mother's return made him unable to persist, and he didn't want to cause trouble at this time.  So, as soon as they got the news, they informed Tao Yuru, hurriedly packed some frequently used clothes, and all three of them moved back to the old house in Jing'an temporarily.

    As soon as Zhu Ping came back, seeing that the family was complete, she didn't want to pursue it any further, so she just turned a blind eye.  But now, she was worried again.

    Zhu Ping obviously couldn't believe her son's answer, so she snorted softly, but she looked at him with some mother's connivance, "Stop pretending to be crazy with me. Anyway, I can't control you anymore, but I have to give you some advice."  Wake up, at this juncture, you'd better not cause any scandals, because a small loss makes a big difference, and you end up taking advantage of others!"

    Zhou Shaoting recalled the deep meaning hidden in his mother's words, and it seemed that his attitude towards his "extramarital affairs" had eased.

    However, he is too aware of the nature of this relaxation, which is a temporary concession based on special circumstances.  Because, they are now facing a common enemy and a more difficult predicament.

    The next struggle will undoubtedly be a tough one. The interests of their mother and son are closely related, and they are allies in the same trench, just like Cheng Yongsheng and his son.  Therefore, neither of them wants to lose the support of the other at this time.

    Zhou Shaoting is well aware of this truth, and immediately softened his momentum in cooperation, and said with a teachable smile: "Got it."

    Zhu Ping finally showed some satisfaction, and persuaded thoughtfully: "As for Sun Xiaonan, you should restrain yourself recently, don't go too far." She glanced at the unfinished food on her son's dinner plate  Vegetables, pulled the corner of her lips, "That girl is not a vegetarian, I have seen it before."

    What she was referring to was Sun Xiaonan's insistence on abortion, that is to say, since then, she began to have a growing dissatisfaction with this ruthless and decisive daughter-in-law.  Thinking about it now, Zhu Ping still felt unreasonable, with lingering fears in her heart, and her face became a little gloomy.

    "If you really push her too hard, she can do anything! If she doesn't do it well, she will have to divorce you and divide your shares before the listing node. In that case, you will push her hard  Your listing plan is dangerous! Moreover, your influence in Yijiang will inevitably drop greatly, and that old fox Cheng Yongcheng will take advantage of it again"

    Zhu Ping took a deep breath, as if it was unimaginable, and then played the family card again, looked at her son deeply and said, "Mom is not greedy for anything, but just doesn't want to see our Zhou family's patience and persistence for so many years in vain. Your father  He didn't close his eyes before he died, and I know that he was worried about us, my wife. What he left for us is now in Yijiang."

    "Mom, don't talk about it." Zhou Shaoting couldn't listen anymore, he felt that his body and mind were all heavy, but he just said lightly on his face: "I know what to do."

    Zhu Ping nodded slowly, feeling a little sore in her heart, because of the pressure and helplessness of her son.  But he still didn't show any weakness, his eyes were firm, and his words were earnest, "If you can endure what others can't, you can achieve what adults can't."

    After the meal, Zhou Shaoting waited for his mother to go upstairs, he greeted Jin Xin, and asked him, "Whose phone was just now?"

    Jin Xin was surprised, sure enough, nothing could be hidden from the eyes of the elder brother.  He didn't dare to hide it right now, and said honestly, "Yes, Yan Xiaoshi."

    Zhou Shaoting pretended to be normal, but his eyes still showed special concern, and his tone was slightly urgent, "What's wrong with her?"
