Chapter 94 has arrived!

  Zhang Ziheng looked around the painting room and smiled: "How come I've never heard you mention this before? You can also paint?"

  Zheng Jie smiled and said: "Of course, this is my favorite place. Except for Yu Xuan, you are the first man to come here. My dad hasn't even been here."

  "Hehe, should I feel very honored?" Zhang Ziheng smiled and said, looking at the works on the wall corner and easel. Zhang Ziheng smiled slightly and said: "Zheng Jie, your paintings are not bad, have you learned before?"

  "It's nothing, just something I like to draw for fun." Zheng Jie said as she put a sketch into a large frame, attached glass to it, and then wiped off the dust on top of it before nodding her head in satisfaction.

  Zhang Ziheng walked over, took a look, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He laughed in surprise: "This... is this painted by you? Haha, it looks just like him, almost identical to the chairman."

  Upon hearing Zhang Ziheng's comment, Zheng Jie smiled and said: "Of course, I spent a whole week drawing it. I originally wanted to give it to my dad on Christmas, but it looks like I have to give it to him earlier." After finishing speaking, Zheng Jie put the painting into a large cloth bag and laughed, saying: "Let's go, help me close the door."

  After coming out of the painting room, Zhang Ziheng wanted to help her when he saw Zheng Jie struggling to carry the painting. He patted her shoulder and stretched out one hand. Zheng Jie turned around, looked at him for a moment, and thought to herself that he was being unusually helpful. She smiled slightly and said, "What are you doing? It's broad daylight, don't let others see."

  "What? Draw for me, if it's not heavy, you can take it yourself. Geez. Looks quite slender, didn't expect the strength to be considerable." Zhang Ziheng shook his head and smiled, saying.

  What was originally a romantic idea was suddenly doused with a bucket of cold water, and she thought he wanted to hold her hand. Zheng Jie's face immediately fell, pouting, and forcibly stuffed the painting into Zhang Ziheng's hands, saying displeased: "Give it to you, take it if you want." After that, she didn't bother with him anymore and walked away.

  "Hey, what's with the attitude? I'm helping you and it's still not right? Geez." Zhang Ziheng said inexplicably. "Hey, I even helped you carry your paintings, can't you thank me a little? If you want to thank me, take me out to watch a movie. Oh well, forget it, how would you ever invite me to the movies anyway? Why don't I invite you instead? What movie do you want to see?"

  Speaking of watching movies, Zheng Jie slowed down her pace, pursed her lips and smiled secretly, thinking that he wasn't stupid after all. "Cough cough, what's up?"

  "What's up? What movie are you watching? How about a romance film? What do you say?" Zhang Ziheng suggested.

  Zheng Jie smiled awkwardly, covering her face with her hands and said: "What's that? I don't know, let's go, let's go."

  "Hey, wait a minute, what's going on? Hey..."

  After returning home, looking at Zheng Jie's mother busy with something in the living room, Zhang Zi Heng whispered to Zheng Jie: "Hey, make up some excuse to your mom, and then we'll go watch a movie, okay?"

  Zheng Jie bit her lip and smiled, but didn't say anything. Seeing that her daughter was back, Zheng Jie's mother hurriedly stood up and waved her hand to call her over. "Zheng Jie, mom has something to tell you."

  "What's going on?"

  Zheng Jie's mother glanced at Zhang Ziheng and said softly, "Yu Xuan is in trouble. Last night he got drunk and somehow got into a fight with a group of thugs. I heard he was seriously injured and is now lying in the hospital."

  "What? Mom, is that true?" Zheng Jie asked in surprise.

  "Oh, why did I deceive you? Anyway, I'm not clear about the specific situation either. You'd better go to the hospital and take a look, it's safer that way. Oh, right, don't let anyone know about this, just go by yourself, got it?"

  Zheng Jie nodded and said, "Alright, mom, I know. I'll go now." As she spoke, Zheng Jie turned around and pulled Zhang Ziheng to the side, saying, "About going to watch a movie later... it's not possible anymore."

  "Huh? What's wrong? What happened?" Zhang Ziheng asked.

  "Uh... actually nothing much, just... something about the company, I have to go see a client, it's pretty important." Zheng Jie said.

  "Shall I go with you?"

  "It's okay, I can handle this myself. That... you go back to the room and help me put away the painting, then... right, haven't you bought a gift for dad yet? Take this opportunity to go buy one." Zheng Jie said.

  Zhang Ziheng nodded and said, "Mm, okay. By the way, what does Uncle usually like?"

  "It's fine, just buy whatever you want. I won't tell you again, I'm leaving first." After finishing speaking, Zheng Jie waved her hand and hastily went out the door.

  "What a client! Insisting on meeting at this time, honestly." Zhang Ziheng shook his head and said.

  Zheng Jie didn't dare to waste a single moment, and rushed to the hospital in her car. When she arrived at the ward, she saw Yu Xuan lying pale on the bed with an oxygen tube inserted into his nose, his eyes slightly open, looking very weak. Xiao Meng sat beside him with a worried face, and from the smudged makeup on her face, it was clear that she had cried.

  Seeing Zheng Jie, Xiao Meng stood up and said softly: "Zheng Jie, you're here."

  "Hmm, Xiaomeng, what's going on? How did it end up like this?" Zheng Jie asked worriedly.

  Xiao Meng shook her head and said, "Brother was drinking a lot of wine at the restaurant last night. On his way home, he saw some underage hooligans smoking on the street corner. He went up to them and said a few words. Because he was in a bad mood, his language was a bit too much, and those little hooligans didn't know that brother was a police officer, they thought he was just a drunkard who came from nowhere, so they started cursing each other, and finally even fought. The little hooligans saw that brother was drunk, so they took advantage of him not paying attention, stabbed him twice and ran away. Luckily, there were passersby who saw it and called the police, which is how he ended up being sent to the hospital."

  Only then did Zheng Jie understand that it must have been her words last night that stimulated him, so he would be like this. "What did the doctor say? Is everything okay?"

  "It's good that the delivery was timely, there is no danger to life. This morning, my brother's colleague came over, took a statement and left. Zheng Jie, come and talk to him, he wants to see you the most right now." Xiaomeng said as she turned around and walked out of the ward.

  Zheng Jie sighed and sat down, looking at the current state of Yu Xuan. Her heart was filled with sorrow. "Yu Xuan, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

  Yu Xuan smiled slightly and shook his head, saying: "This is not your fault, it's my own bad luck. Hehe, it's quite ironic when I think about it. When facing those who have committed serious crimes, I've never been so miserable before, but unexpectedly, I was beaten by a few minors, do you think I'm the biggest joke in the world?"

  "No, how could that be. You must have been drunk to say something like that. If you were sober, those kids wouldn't stand a chance against you. In the end, it's all my fault, Yuxuan, why are you so stupid? Is it worth it?" Zheng Jie sighed and said.

  "Haha, was it worth it? I remember when our colleague in the office got heartbroken, he was just like me now. I asked him back then, 'was it worth it?' Now it's my turn, and I finally understand that it's not about whether it's worth it or not, but rather something you can't control. Zheng Jie, do you know? In the office, many female colleagues had a crush on me, but I didn't think much of them because my heart only belonged to you. It wasn't until yesterday that I realized I was always unrequited in love, and now I finally understand how those female colleagues felt. Haha, maybe this is just karma." Yu Xuan said with a self-mocking smile.

  "Yu Xuan, don't be like this, okay? I... really don't know how to tell you, in my heart, you've always been my brother. I respect you, admire you, and look up to you. However... but I really don't have those kinds of feelings between a man and a woman towards you. When we were young, if someone bullied me, you would definitely stand up for me at the first moment and help me deal with those people who bullied me. When I encountered setbacks, you would also appear by my side at the first moment to comfort me. This made me feel that having a brother is really great. As I grew older, I gradually felt your true thoughts. The reason I didn't tell you was because I didn't want to ruin this brother-sister relationship we've had all along. Do you understand?" Zheng Jie said.

  Yu Xuan smiled and nodded, saying: "I understand, I get it."

  "Yu Xuan, if not for others, then just for me, cheer up, okay? I'm begging you."

  Yu Xuan let out a deep breath and said, "Alright, I promise. From now on, I won't do this again. Who knows, once I'm better, I'll find you a sister-in-law right away, hehe."

  Zheng Jie smiled slightly and said: "Alright, it's settled then. But I'll tell you this, if you really find one, be sure to bring it back for me to see. I won't agree unless I think it's good, got it?"

  "Hehe, don't worry, definitely." Yuxuan smiled and said.

  After this conversation, the two people finally untied the knot in their hearts. Yu Xuan also understood that loving someone doesn't necessarily mean possessing her; as long as she's doing better than me, nothing else matters. The two chatted for a while longer before the nurse said the patient needed to rest, and Zheng Jie left then.

  When she was about to leave the hospital, someone suddenly blocked her way. Zheng Jie was slightly stunned and took a closer look, it was a very pretty girl, about the same age as herself.

  "Excuse me, is there something I can help you with?" Zheng Jie asked.

  The girl didn't speak, and then another woman appeared in front of her, even more beautiful than the previous girl, but looking a bit older.

  "Hello, sorry, we have something to ask you, can we find a place to talk?"

  Zheng Jie frowned at these two people and said: "I don't even know you guys, what's there to chat about?"

  "Hehe, I'm Xu Jiajia, this is my business card. I'm the design department manager of an advertising company. Her name is Wang Xue, and she's also from our company. I know it's a bit presumptuous, but don't worry, we don't have any malicious intentions."

  Zheng Jie took the business card and looked at it, saying: "Advertising company? What do you want me for? I don't shoot commercials."

  "What's with all the nonsense? Let me tell you, today you have to chat whether you want to or not, got it?" Wang Xue said impatiently.

  Xu Zong hastily pulled her behind him, apologetically smiling and saying: "Sorry about that, she's just like this, don't mind her. So, recently in F City, didn't you save a boy who fell into the water? Wearing jeans and a black jacket, looking to be around her age?"

  Zheng Jie was slightly taken aback and looked at them with some vigilance, saying: "What do you mean? What does this have to do with you?"

  "Just say it, is there so many problems?" Wang Xue asked again.

  Xu Zong chuckled and said: "If so, please tell us where he is. We are his friends."

  Friends? What friends? Zheng Jie looked at them with confusion, while thinking to herself, whether what they said was true or not. If they were really friends, then what kind of relationship would that be?
