Chapter 107: Perplexity

  The child said that a violent storm is coming! Before, it was especially calm. At this time, the office was quiet, and the two people, Xiao Tian and Cheng Qing, didn't even dare to breathe loudly. After a long while, Zheng Jie stood up and said expressionlessly: "How's that? Was the crash fun? Do you want to smash the computer case too? There's also a water dispenser, tea set, and sand over there. You can smash whatever you want, I won't stop you."

  Seeing Zheng Jie's fearless expression, Wang Xue gritted her teeth and said angrily: "You think I don't dare? Let me tell you, don't push me, I can do anything."

  "Hmph, fine, what else do you want? Zheng Jie hummed and said casually."

  "Me?" You," okay, fine. Xiao Tian, give me the lighter, quickly!" Wang Xue said angrily.

  "Huh? What are you going to use the lighter for? Wang Xue. Calm down, don't do anything rash." Xiaotian said nervously, protecting his shirt pocket.

  Wang Xue glared at him, disregarding everything, and went up to tear open his clothes, reached in and pulled out the lighter inside, walked to the sand, and was about to light it. Xiaotian and Cheng Qing looked at each other, this won't do, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

  Zheng Jie stood by, unmoved, watching them like a spectator. After a while, Zheng Jie spoke up and said, "Have you had enough? Shouldn't we be leaving? If not, I'm going to leave." As she spoke, Zheng Jie picked up her handbag.

  Wang Xue took one look and hastily walked over to block her way, saying: "If you don't give me an explanation today, then don't think about leaving this place."

  Zheng Jie nodded, took out her phone from her handbag and said: "Alright, this is also what you forced me to do." She dialed a number. "Hello?" An old man's voice came from the other end of the line. "I have someone causing trouble here. They've broken many things and it looks like they're going to hit me too."

  "What are you doing? Do you think I'm afraid of calling the police?" Wang Xue angrily snatched Zheng Jie's phone and slammed it to the ground.

  Zheng Jie didn't think much of it and picked up the phone on her desk. She said, "Xiao Hei, call the police and tell them there's someone causing trouble."

  "You really think I'm afraid of you? Zheng. You're done for today, I'm going to kill you." Wang Xue said, picking up a small paper cutter from the table and stabbing it at Zheng Jie's face.

  Xiao Tian saw this and jumped into the car, hastily pulling her back, saying: "Wang Xue, don't be reckless. You know that if you stab him now, the consequences will be severe. If Zi Heng can't be found later, you'll be the one to go in first. Calm down, calm down a bit, give me the knife."

  "In this case, I won't be calm. Anyway, today is either her death or my survival. I'm going to fight with her," Wang Xue said while struggling.

  Cheng Qian seized the opportunity, quickly snatching the paper cutter from her hand and throwing it on the table. Then, with an apologetic smile at Zheng Jie, she said: "Sorry about that, she's just a bit agitated. Don't call the police. We'll leave right away, we're leaving right now."

  "What did you apologize to her for? I'm going to kill her today, don't any of you stop me." Wang Xue was so angry that she almost cried.

  Zheng Jie's expression turned cold and she said, "You have one minute to leave immediately. If you don't, then wait for the police to come and arrest you."

  "Alright, alright, let's go." Xiaotian hastily nodded and said. Then he left the office with Cheng Qing pulling Wang Xue along.

  Although Wang Xue looked very angry, Zheng Jie was also furious, she just didn't vent it out like Wang Xue did. As soon as the three of them left, Zheng Jie let out a deep breath and sat down, looking at the messy floor with a displeased face.

  At this time, the female staff member who had just walked in looked around and then stammered to Zheng: "Director Zheng, um, do we still need to call the police?"

  Zheng Jie shook her head and said: "Never mind, find someone to come over and clean up here, then call the maintenance department and let them bring a new monitor over."

  "Ah, yes, Director Zheng, I'll go take care of it right away."

  Actually, for someone like Zheng Jie to force Zhang Zi Heng into marriage is something she would normally never do. But after what just happened earlier, she knows that if she doesn't take action now, she will definitely regret it later. She's not afraid of being snatched away by others, but rather that once he regains his memory and recalls the past, he won't love her like he does now. For her own happiness and to be able to stay with him forever, even if others call her despicable, she doesn't care.

  Today, the birth of Wang Xue has further strengthened Zheng Jie's confidence. As soon as she got off work, she rushed home in a hurry, eager to know Zhang Ziheng's reply. However, when she returned home, she found that Zhang Ziheng was not at home. After asking her mother, she learned that Yu Xuan had taken him out.

  In the restaurant, Zhang Ziheng and Yu Xuan were sitting alone, each holding a cigarette in their hand. From the expressions on their faces, it was clear that they were both feeling depressed.

  Yu Xuan shook his head and sighed, saying: "Alas. Why? Why is it so hard to find someone to marry? How come every blind date ends in failure?"

  "Alas, why? Why must I be forced into marriage when I truly don't want to get married now?" Zhang Ziheng said from the side.

  Yu Xuan glared at him and said, "You're really annoying. You're not even willing to get married when Zheng Jie urges you to, but now you're everywhere looking for a partner who likes me? Are you intentionally trying to annoy me?"

  Zhang Ziheng sighed and extinguished the cigarette in his hand. "It's not that, but..." Ah, how can I put it? Now I just want to achieve something, not too big, at least have some savings, be able to afford a house. That's all. And I'm still so young now, I always feel like getting married is really too early for me, feeling like nothing is ready yet.

  "Hey, what's wrong with you? You're young and don't want to get married, but I want to get married just because I'm old? Zheng Jie is doing the same thing, it's very normal. All women hope to have a happy family, and getting married can fulfill their wishes. It's a simple matter, just agree with her." Yu Xuan said.

  Zhang Ziheng looked at him and shook his head, saying: "Things are not as simple as you think. This is very complicated. You think getting married is just a matter of registering, having a wedding, and going on a honeymoon? There are many responsibilities involved here, and to be honest, I'm not mentally prepared for these issues. In short, I'm a bit scared."

  Afraid? What are you afraid of? Let's not mention Zheng Jie's family background, as a woman, what doesn't she have? She has looks, she has quality, she is elegant and virtuous, suitable for a noble hall. And, uh, it seems like she can't cook, but that's okay too, what else do you want?" Yu Xuan asked.

  "It's not that I don't want to, but I'm afraid of what she wants, and I can't give it to her. I myself am a person with nothing. Everything I have now is given by Zheng Jie, what can I give her? I always feel like I owe her too much, just getting married isn't enough to repay her. It's even like I'm taking advantage of her by marrying her, do you understand?" Zhang Ziheng asked.

  Yu Xuan nodded and said, "Mm, makes some sense."

  If Zheng Jie were to suddenly leave you, you would once again become a person with nothing. It can be said that your marriage to her is equivalent to finding security for yourself, not her. So you're a bit embarrassed about it, aren't you?

  "Right, right, it can be said that way. Think about it, after getting married... what can I give her? Money? Status? Of course, she already has all these things, and she doesn't even care about them... but I always feel like I'm useless."

  "Hey, when it all comes down to it, it's just your male chauvinism acting up. But it's normal for men to have this kind of thinking, yeah, you thinking like this proves that as a man, you're still pretty qualified." Yu Xuan nodded and said.

  "So, if you were me, would you immediately agree with Zheng Jie?" Zhang Ziheng asked.

  Yu Xuan was taken aback, shook his head and said: "I don't know, maybe I'll be like you too. Ah, your situation is too special, it's really hard to explain clearly for the time being."

  Zhang Ziheng sighed, lit another cigarette and took a puff. "Calculating the time, Zheng Jie should have arrived home by now. She still wants me to give her an answer, what can I do?"

  "Hmm, well, yes. Speaking of which, tell me the truth, aside from the reasons you mentioned earlier, is there another reason? For example, your background, do you have any concerns?" Yuxuan asked.

  Zhang Ziheng looked up at him, nodded and said: "Hmm, a bit. I thought about it for a long time last night. It's gotten me into a dilemma. Yuxuan, help me come up with an idea, I don't know what to do anymore."

  "You've already made up your mind not to investigate this matter anymore, so just forget about it thoroughly. I think Zheng Jie is forcing you into marriage because she's afraid that if you remember something, you'll leave her." Yu Xuan said.

  "Yes, that's right, I've decided not to poison anymore, but, but this..."

  "Alright, alright, no need to say anything else. I understand. However... As a friend, I advise you, it's better to investigate the matter clearly, this is being responsible for yourself and others. And as Zheng Jie's brother, I think you should just forget about it and spend the rest of your life with her in a muddle, isn't that good enough? What do you say?" Yu Xuan said.

  Zhang Ziheng thought carefully about what Yu Xing had said, then nodded. "Alright, I understand, thank you."

  "Alright, it's getting late too, I'll head out first, what about you?" Yu Xuan said as he picked up his coat.

  I still want to sit for a while. It's too early to go home, Zheng Jie will definitely make trouble with me.

  "Um, okay, I'll go first." After Yu Xuan left, Zhang Ziheng sat alone for about 20 more minutes, looked at the cigarette box and found that all the cigarettes were gone. He patted his body and suddenly pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket. Zhang Ziheng was slightly stunned. When he opened it, it was a phone number. After thinking carefully, this number belonged to that woman named Xu Jiajia, which was Wang Xue's phone number.

  Zhang Ziheng stared at the note for a while, thought about it for half a day, and finally picked up his phone and dialed the number on it.
