Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Why Did Zhou Lin Develop Genuine Feelings for Cheng Zhiwei?

For Seo Zhenzhen, destroying everything Cheng Zhiwei cared about was more important than gaining Zhou Lin’s affection.

At that time, Cheng Zhiwei was loved by her parents, her family was harmonious, she always received lots of love letters, and there were those confessions on the confession wall.

So many eyes surrounded her.

That was something Seo Zhenzhen had never experienced; she stood by Cheng Zhiwei’s side, and was treated as Cheng Zhiwei’s lackey, directed to pass on love letters and ridiculed behind her back as Cheng Zhiwei’s maid.

Just because of different circumstances of birth, how did she become just an accessory and lackey to Cheng Zhiwei? She had thought the Cheng family was such a good family, but the sponsorship was just a tactic to fish for fame and reputation.

Seo Zhenzhen closed her eyes and looked at her reflection in the glass window.

As she gazed, she suddenly reached out to touch her face, then her hand moved to the corner of her eye, her entire face nearly pressing against the window.

She horrifiedly discovered that there seemed to be a wrinkle there.

She stumbled into the room and looked at the corner of her eye in the mirror.

Upon closer inspection, there indeed was a wrinkle.

Wrinkles...

Seo Zhenzhen suddenly smashed the mirror, sat down blankly, eyes reddening.

She threw herself onto the bed, reached for her phone, and the light from the screen cast a cold glow in her eyes.

She opened another WeChat, opened Huang Ye’s chat, and sent a message.

[When do we act?]

She then irritably went to the living room, sat on the sofa, and lit a cigarette.

The phone vibrated.

Huang Ye:[There are people around her; it’s not a good time to move. Wait a bit longer.]

Seo Zhenzhen scoffed and quickly typed while biting on her cigarette: [You better be quick, or I might have second thoughts, and you’ll miss out on the money.]

After sending the message, she threw the phone aside and a sharp cough seized her as she inhaled a lungful of smoke.

Tears emerged from her coughing, her gaze suddenly falling on the scar on her knee, and she fiercely grabbed a pillow and smashed it down on the sofa, her expression ferocious and ugly.

How could Zhou Lin actually develop real feelings for Cheng Zhiwei, while he was just frivolously playing with her?

Why.

Just as she was completely exhausted, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Seo Zhenzhen paused, then rushed barefoot to open the door.

She had arranged to meet He Lanzhi tonight.

But upon opening the door, she didn’t see He Lanzhi; instead, an unexpected person was standing there.

"Ah Lin..." Seo Zhenzhen frantically wiped her tears with the back of her hand, disbelief still evident in her eyes.

How could he have come?

"Mommy." Zhou Ruoki threw herself into Seo Zhenzhen’s arms, sweetly hugging her neck, "Mommy, Qiqi missed you so much."

Seo Zhenzhen hugged Zhou Ruoki tightly, yet her gaze was entirely on Zhou Lin, "Ah Lin, why did you come?"

Zhou Lin frowned and scanned her from head to toe, finally fixing his gaze on her face, his voice cold and clear, "You’ve been smoking?"

Panic flickered through Seo Zhenzhen’s eyes, "Sorry, Ah Lin, I just... just..."

She couldn’t find the words, and tears immediately began to fall.

She clung tightly to Zhou Ruoki.

Zhou Ruoki lifted his small hand to wipe Seo Zhenzhen’s tears, his voice full of defense, "Mommy must have been missing Qiqi, that’s why she smoked."

He was so young, yet he already knew to make excuses for the mistakes of adults.

Seo Zhenzhen quickly said, "Yes, I was missing Qiqi, Ah Lin, I won’t smoke again."

Zhou Ruoki looked hopefully at Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin’s eyebrows relaxed slightly, a rare occurrence when he wasn’t angry, "Qiqi said he misses you, so I brought him over."

His tone was very light, but compared to his indifferent attitude all this time, this mild tone could almost be considered tender.

Seo Zhenzhen felt a long-lost dreamy sensation, and murmured subconsciously, "Ah Lin."

Zhou Lin reached out and touched Zhou Ruoki’s head, "Qiqi, I will come to pick you up tomorrow morning."

Zhou Ruoki obediently nodded, "Okay, Daddy."

Zhou Lin turned to leave, walked a few steps, then suddenly turned back to look at Seo Zhenzhen, speaking unhurriedly, "Wear shoes at home, don’t catch a cold."

After he finished speaking, he strode away.

Seo Zhenzhen didn’t react, standing dumbfounded at the door with her child.

His last words, were they out of concern?

"Mommy, I want to sleep." Zhou Ruoki leaned on Seo Zhenzhen’s shoulder, rubbing his eyes softly.

Seo Zhenzhen came to her senses and carried Zhou Ruoki inside.

Because of Zhou Lin’s sudden expression of concern, she was especially patient with Zhou Ruoki, personally accompanied him during his nightly routine, and when Zhou Ruoki was in his little bed, she whispered, "Qiqi."

Zhou Ruoki blinked his eyes, "Mommy."

Seo Zhenzhen controlled her emotions well, asking softly, "Why did Daddy suddenly bring you over?"

He had said not to let her near Zhou Ruoki, but now he suddenly brought Zhou Ruoki over, even delivering him personally.

Could it be that he reconciled with Cheng Zhiwei and didn’t want Zhou Ruoki anymore?

Thinking this, Seo Zhenzhen’s face changed, and she suddenly gripped Zhou Ruoki’s delicate arm tightly.

Zhou Ruoki’s face turned pale from pain and he started crying softly, "Mommy."

Seo Zhenzhen leaned close to him, staring at his face intently, and asked harshly, "Did your father abandon you?"

"No."

"How can you be so useless." Seo Zhenzhen grew irritable, letting go of Zhou Ruoki and paced back and forth in the room, her expression grim, "I told you to stay with him, why did you run back here?"

Zhou Ruoki cautiously sat up from the bed, clutching the blanket, "Mommy, I didn’t."

Sharp fingernails pressed heavily on Zhou Ruoki’s forehead, the force making him fall back onto the bed, crying out in pain, "Mommy, it hurts."

"Serves you right, for being useless." Seo Zhenzhen breathed heavily, glaring hatefully at Zhou Ruoki.

Even if he does look a bit like Zhou Lin, it’s still not enough to hold that man’s heart.

Useless trash.

Just then, the room’s door was suddenly pushed open, and He Lanzhi walked in, her face changing slightly upon seeing Zhou Ruoki crying.

He quickly went over and held Zhou Ruoki in his arms, comforting softly, "Qiqi, don’t cry, don’t cry, what’s wrong?"

The red mark on Zhou Ruoki’s forehead was particularly glaring under the light.

"What’s going on?" He Lanzhi asked angrily, looking at Seo Zhenzhen.

Seo Zhenzhen sneered, never hiding her dislike of Zhou Ruoki in front of He Lanzhi.

"This useless thing was sent back by Zhou Lin."

He Lanzhi frowned, "He is your son."

How could you speak to him like that.

Seo Zhenzhen burst into mad laughter, "My son? I don’t have such a useless son."

He Lanzhi became completely angry, "Do you only see him as a tool to get closer to Zhou Lin?"

"What else is he good for?"

"Seo Zhenzhen, he is also my..." He Lanzhi caught herself mid-sentence.

Zhou Ruoki was also here, those words should not be said.
