Chapter 111 There are no good things without reason in the world.

Chapter 111: Chapter 111 There are no good things without reason in the world.

The words had barely left her lips when suddenly, her chin was seized.

Cheng Zhiwei had to raise her head, locking eyes with Zhou Lin. His eyes, which were always cold towards her, were strangely serene at this moment.

Zhou Lin lowered his hand, replacing it with fingertips that gently caressed her cheek, "I will handle Bai Zhuzhu’s matter."

"Zhou Lin."

"Before Zhenzhen came yesterday, I told her that pleading with you would be futile, but she still wanted to try. Her heart is set on Bai Zhuzhu, and I could only agree." Zhou Lin explained calmly.

Cheng Zhiwei turned her face away, his intimate gesture making her feel sick, "I understand."

Zhou Lin’s fingers paused, then withdrew, his tone indifferent as usual, "I know you don’t believe me, but what I am saying is true. Towards you, I will respect everything about you as my lawful wife, so you need to be obedient."

Be obedient...

Just these three words added another layer of cold to Cheng Zhiwei’s heart. She lowered her gaze, slightly closed her eyes, thinking he must fear her going to Seo Zhenzhen, or perhaps inciting Lin Yu to trouble Seo Zhenzhen.

It seems, Seo Zhenzhen won’t be going abroad after all.

What a trouble for him, having to lower himself before her for Seo Zhenzhen’s sake.

"Why don’t you marry her?" Cheng Zhiwei slowly opened her eyes, calmly facing Zhou Lin, "Are you worried your parents won’t agree? But I think that as long as you insist, they wouldn’t really make it difficult for you."

Zhou Lin’s impassive expression grew slightly darker.

Cheng Zhiwei said, "After all, look, if you get married, she would be the legitimate Young Madam Zhou, who could also go out into the world without anyone gossiping."

Zhou Lin’s profound gaze fixed tightly on Cheng Zhiwei, as if trying to see right through her.

In the past, whenever they touched on this topic, Zhou Lin would get angry.

But now, he managed to control his emotions very well. His voice might have been a bit cold, but it carried no heat, "Don’t talk like that again in the future. I don’t like to hear it."

Cheng Zhiwei was silent for a few seconds, then nodded faintly, "Alright."

If he didn’t want to talk about it, then fine, she didn’t enjoy saying those words either.

"You didn’t sleep well last night, I’ll have Wang Mei bring up some medicine for you. Rest a bit more, okay?"

Zhou Lin’s inquiry was so meticulous and gentle, something Cheng Zhiwei had longed for quite a while.

Now, however, she only felt fear, as if in the next second he could fly into a rage and beat her senseless.

The domestic abusers on TV were just like that, tender one second and throwing punches and kicks the next.

Of course, Zhou Lin would never stoop so low, he had many other methods of tormenting someone without resorting to such brute physicality.

But still, a fear that she couldn’t control surged from deep within.

Cheng Zhiwei lay down as told.

Zhou Lin pulled the quilt over her, tucking her in carefully.

When the sound of the door closing reached her, Cheng Zhiwei pulled the quilt over her face and took deep breaths.

Fortunately, it was Wang Mei who came to bring the medicine.

After taking the medicine, Wang Mei’s smile was genuine as she sincerely congratulated Cheng Zhiwei, "Young Madam, your suffering has turned to joy."

Thinking of the scene she had witnessed before, Wang Mei felt happy for Cheng Zhiwei.

"Where is he?" Cheng Zhiwei asked.

"He took a phone call and went out." Wang Mei helped Cheng Zhiwei lie down comfortably, saying with a smile, "The Young Master instructed me before leaving to make soup for you."

"Okay," Cheng Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief, her tone lightening, "then I’ll take a nap first."

Wang Mei left with the water cup, thought for a moment, and then made a phone call to Lin Yu to tell her about what happened today.

Lin Yu was also somewhat pleased and instructed Wang Mei to take good care of Cheng Zhiwei.

After hanging up the phone, she turned around and threw herself into Zhou Chenyuan’s arms, satisfied at heart, "Our son has finally come to his senses."

Zhou Chenyuan supported her to prevent her from falling, comforting her, "Now you can rest easy."

He could guess to some extent what Zhou Lin was scheming, but he didn’t know exactly what he was up to, after all, there are no free lunches in this world.

Of course, Lin Yu didn’t need to know that.

...

After taking her medicine, Cheng Zhiwei still didn’t sleep well, with strange dreams draining her spirit, and her complexion looked even worse.

When she finally broke free from the dreams, she was drenched in sweat.

She took several deep breaths quickly to suppress the palpitations, and her heartbeat gradually returned to normal.

Just then, the nightstand suddenly started playing a tune.

Cheng Zhiwei was startled, waited a few seconds to realize it was her own phone, and reached out to take it. The screen displayed an unknown number.

"Hello?"

"This is Central City Hospital..."

By the time Cheng Zhiwei reached the hospital, Cheng Zhiyin was still in the operating room. Mother Gao was at the side, incessantly nagging, "Can’t even keep a pregnancy stable, still had to have injections in the hospital for so many days, really useless... I knew it, we should’ve never married such a woman... bad luck..."

Gao Wei glanced at Cheng Zhiwei and whispered to his mother, "Say a little less."

Mother Gao immediately looked displeased, her voice louder, "What’s wrong with me saying a couple of words? Oh, the daughters of the Cheng Family are golden babies, are they? Not allowed to speak of them? I told you before, don’t marry her, but you didn’t listen. Look now, you’re thirty-two, and you don’t even have a child, it’s so embarrassing to say it out loud."

Between her words, everything was Cheng Zhiyin’s fault.

Cheng Zhiwei swept over them with an expressionless face, "How did my sister fall down?"

"She couldn’t sit still at home and insisted on going out, fell down the stairs," Mother Gao huffed, "Pregnant and still wanted to go shopping, such a bad habit."

Shopping?

Cheng Zhiwei knew how much Cheng Zhiyin cherished that child, she had even been receiving injections in the hospital for a week, how could she possibly go shopping?

It must be related to them.

With a cold glance over them, she said icily, "I heard that the brother-in-law picked up a woman at the bar, who’s been pregnant for more than two months. It’s a wonder if he’ll still be happily promoted after this news gets out."

With such people, you have to grasp their lifeline.

As expected, Gao Wei’s face changed, "It must be you."

Mother Gao, enraged, rolled up her sleeves, "It was you, this little slut, who caused my grandchild to be lost, I’ll beat you to death..."

Cheng Zhiwei scoffed, "You’re quick to admit."

Mother Gao immediately realized, "You little slut, you did this on purpose."

Cheng Zhiwei indeed did it on purpose. The child in the belly of Xiao Ru was already gone, and she wouldn’t admit it, the Gao Family wouldn’t admit it. Even if Cheng Zhiwei pierced the sky with it, she couldn’t stir up any trouble. It could even backfire and make Cheng Zhiyin carry the blame.

Unfortunately, Mother Gao was uneducated and let it slip with just a single sentence.

"You think my sister can’t have children, so you can divorce her, keep a mistress outside, and try to shift the blame for the divorce onto her. Does the Gao Family think the Cheng Family has nobody left?" Cheng Zhiwei watched Gao Wei with a cold smile, "Reading so many books, must have read them into the belly of a dog."
