Chapter 121: In-Depth Discussion

  Two legs were injured and had not healed, so Zhang Wu Heng could only rely on crutches to slowly make his way to the Zheng residence with Wang Xue. After arriving at the Zheng residence, Zheng Cheng Yang was very unfriendly and stayed in the study, refusing to come down and see him. Zhang Zi Heng sighed, and with Wang Xue's support, he slowly made his way up the stairs, leaning on his crutches.

  Zheng Chengyang glanced at Zhang Ziheng, didn't say a word, and continued reading the book in his hand. Zhang Ziheng stood upright in front of him and said, "Uncle Zheng, I'm here."

  Zheng Chengyang hummed a laugh and said: "You don't even call him dad anymore, but you and Zheng Jie aren't divorced yet, are you?"

  Wang Xueyi wanted to retort, but was stopped by Zhang Ziheng. He nodded and said, "Dad, I'm here. Sorry. I know this is my fault. Hope you can forgive me."

  Zheng Chengyang gave him a glance, put down the book in his hand and said: "Forgive you? Okay, no problem. I don't care if you've recovered your memory or not, but you're still our Zheng Jie's son-in-law. If you want to talk about rules with me, that's fine, no problem. Zheng Jie can visit your parents at home anytime and ask for as much money as she wants. In other words, everything will be done according to the original plan, do you understand?" "What's so great about having money? We have money too, what's there to be arrogant about?" Wang Xue shouted angrily.

  Zhang Ziheng hastily glared at her and said, "Uncle Zheng, you're making things difficult for me. If we must follow the original plan, then Xue'er is my girlfriend, even if..."

  "I don't care, anyway you've already gotten your marriage certificate with Zheng Jie, in the eyes of the law you're a legitimate couple. If you have the guts, you can sue me, and we'll see who's unlucky then. There's one more thing I want to tell you. Don't associate with those shady women again, if you dare to wrong Zheng Jie, I'll make sure you pay." Zheng Chengyang said, glancing at Wang Xue.

  Wang Xue was furious, pointing at Zheng Chengyang's nose and shouting loudly: "Who are you saying is a woman who is not three or four? Your daughter is the one who is not three or four. You're just an old man who won't die."

  Zhang Ziheng pulled for half a day but couldn't pull her back, so he had to shout loudly: "Xue'er, that's enough. Don't say anything more."

  "It wasn't him who scolded me," Wang Xue said with a wronged tone.

  Zhang Ziheng bit his lip and said, "Excuse me, is Zheng Jie at home now? I'd like to see her."

  "You can't see her now, when you cut off all ties with your past, she will naturally see you." Zheng Chengyang said.

  "Uncle Zheng, I want to see her now. I have something to say to her. No matter what, this is between me and her, can you just let me see her?" Zhang Ziheng pleaded.

  Zheng Chengyang slammed his hand on the table and shouted loudly: "How many more times do I need to tell you? You..."

  At this time, the door of the study opened and Zheng Jie walked in, saying: "Dad, don't say anything else, you don't have to worry about this matter, I will handle it."

  Zheng Chengyang slightly furrowed his brow and said: "Zheng Jie. What are you doing? Quickly go back to your room. Listen."

  Zheng Jie shook her head and said, "Dad, I heard what you just said. As **said, this is my business with him, we should solve it ourselves."

  "Dad, don't worry, I know what to do."

  Zheng Chengyang sighed and nodded his head, saying: "Alright. But remember, you must think it through carefully, got it?"

  "Uh-huh, got it, Dad."

  Zhang Ziheng followed Zheng Jie into her room. Zheng Jie glanced at Wang Xue, who had also entered the room, and then looked at Zhang Ziheng without saying a word.

  Zhang Ziheng understood her meaning and said to Wang Xue: "Xue'er, you go out and wait for me."

  "What? I'm going out? No way, I'll stay here." Wang Xue said with a bad attitude and gave Zheng Jie a glance.

  "Xue Er, listen, go out and wait for me, okay?" Zhang Ziheng said softly.

  "No way, I'll just stay here and see who dares to drive me away." Wang Xue hummed and said.

  Zhang Ziheng nodded, suddenly widened his eyes and shouted loudly: "I dare, what's wrong? Can't I let you out? Not listening to me, is that it? My words are useless now?"

  This remark even made Zheng Jie, who was standing beside her, feel quite shocked. As for Wang Xue, she was suddenly frightened by Zhang Ziheng's current appearance and stared at him with a surprised face, as if she didn't dare to believe it.

  "What are you looking at? Can't you get out? Ah?" Zhang Ziheng shouted angrily.

  Wang Xue didn't know why, but a sense of fear suddenly appeared in her heart. She seemed to have never seen Zhang Ziheng like this before. "This, I,"

  "What's wrong with you? Can't you get out?" Zhang Ziheng shouted with his eyes wide open.

  Wang Xue was startled and looked at Zheng Jie, then turned around and left like a pitiful little cat. Zheng Jie shook her head and smiled, saying: "This is the first time I've seen you so domineering, was it always like this before?"

  Zhang Ziheng chuckled and said, "Of course not, this is probably the first time. I don't know why, but whenever I see a girl, I become particularly gentle, unless it's absolutely necessary, I won't easily lose my temper. Actually, just now I didn't mean to yell at her, I just wanted her to leave."

  Zheng Jie smiled slightly and said, "I know, after being in contact with you for so long, I have some understanding of your character." The two sat down, not speaking for a long time. After a while, Zhang Ziheng spoke up, "Zheng Jie, I know that what I'm about to say may be unacceptable to you, but I really can't think of any other way. Maybe it's better to just say it directly."

  "Go ahead and say what you want to say, it's okay." Zheng Jie smiled.

  Zhang Ziheng nodded and said, "Zheng Jie, I really want to thank you for everything you've done for me when I lost my memory. You saved my life, let me stay at your place, and even helped me find a job. All of this, I won't be able to repay in this lifetime. And I can definitely tell you that my feelings for you back then were real, I really liked you, no doubt about it. But... but now that I've recovered my memory, Xue Er is still ahead of you. During the time I was missing, she spent all her energy trying to find me, and became so worn out. If you were in my shoes, what would you do?"

  Zheng Jie bit her lip and didn't say a word.

  Zhang Ziheng sighed, took out a cigarette from his pocket. He wanted to light it up, but thought for a moment and put it back. Zheng Jie saw this and hastily said: "It's okay, you can smoke. Wait." After saying that, Zheng Jie walked aside, took an ashtray from the drawer and placed it in front of him.

  Zhang Ziheng was taken aback and said, "You bought an ashtray?"

  "I thought about it, and I think it will come in handy eventually. Men can quit anything easily, except for smoking. Since it's not easy, then just smoke less, okay? Let's buy it first and talk about it later." Zheng Jie said.

  After hearing Zheng Jie's words, Zhang Ziheng's heart felt a pang of sadness, and tears involuntarily welled up in his eyes. He turned away, composed himself for a moment, then lit another cigarette and started smoking again.

  "Zheng Jie, I know this isn't fair to you. But the same goes for Xue Er. I've already hurt her once and I don't want to hurt her again. Xue Er is a good girl, and so are you. Both of you, I don't want to hurt, but... someone has to get hurt in the end. Honestly, I'd rather it be me. Others would envy me for having two great girls like you both. How nice! But who can understand that I really don't know how to choose? Hehe. Xiao Tian once gave me an idea - remember that guy we saw at the sales hall, the one who was taken away by security? He said, since both girls like you so much, why not just take both of them? Haha. Zheng Jie, don't say that neither you nor Xue Er would agree to it, I wouldn't agree to it either." Zhang Zi Heng laughed.

  Zheng Jie smiled slightly and said: "What? Don't you want to? This is something every man dreams of, don't tell me you don't want it."

  "Haha, of course, this is what every man wants. But if it really happened to me, I wouldn't be able to do it. It's not that I'm pretending, but I know I don't have the luck, and I don't have the qualifications. For someone like me, to have a person who truly loves me, and whom I truly love, to accompany me until old age... then I would be content." Zhang Ziheng smiled.

  Zheng Jie smiled and said: "**, you're a good person, but you're also a man. You have the same problem as every other man, which is that you're all particularly lustful and never satisfied."

  ”

  Zhang Ziheng smiled slightly and didn't say a word.

  "Tell me honestly," Zheng Jie asked, "do I still have a chance?"

  Zhang Ziheng looked at her and said: "Zheng Jie, I'm sorry, I"

  "Alright, I know. Tomorrow I'll go with you to the Civil Affairs Bureau to handle the procedures. Don't worry... The division of property will absolutely not be less than yours." Zheng Jie nodded and said.

  "Zheng Jie, isn't this a slap in the face? I don't want anything, all of that is yours, I'm not worthy of taking it. I've already wronged you so much, if I still want something then I'm not human." Zhang Ziheng said seriously.

  Zheng Jie looked at him and smiled, suddenly reaching out to touch his face, laughing: "You're always so silly. So cute."

  Zhang Zi pinched out the cigarette butt in his hand. Shaking his head, he said: "I'm not stupid, I have a conscience, although it's not much, but there's still some."

  Zheng Jie smiled slightly and suddenly stepped forward to hug Zhang Ziheng. She buried her head in his chest and whispered, "Hold me again, okay? One last time."

  Zhang Ziheng was taken aback for a moment. He sighed, and tightly hugged Zheng Jie in his arms. Zheng Jie tried to hold back her tears, but her eyes were not cooperating, and tears still flowed out from the corners of her eyes, wetting Zhang Ziheng's chest. This was their last embrace, after which they would have to part ways. Zheng Jie wished that all this was just a dream she had, but she didn't know if she would ever wake up from it. To find out what happens next...
