Chapter 83: Chapter 83: I Said, Get Out

"What’s wrong with Zhou Lin, did he bully you again?" Guo Cuihua asked persistently, her eyebrows tightly furrowed, clearly ready to stand up for Cheng Zhiwei the moment she confirmed it.

Cheng Zhiwei snapped back to her senses and hurriedly comforted her, "He didn’t bully me, it’s just that I..."

She suddenly didn’t know how to say that she didn’t want to divorce.

If she mentioned it, Guo Cuihua would surely think she had lost her mind, wavering between wanting a divorce and not, especially after Zhou Lin had hurt her so deeply and she still didn’t want to separate.

Guo Cuihua would be disappointed.

"Zhou Lin is a child we watched grow up. The two of you are close in age and used to play together, and Lin Yu and I actually had some thoughts about it back then. But as you grew up, Zhou Lin became distant from you, and his personality a bit odd, so I never mentioned it. Who could have imagined that you would end up falling for him?" Guo Cuihua had no choice but to accept the arrangements of fate.

Thinking about it all, wasn’t this a cursed relationship?

"Since you truly want to divorce, it means you already know what’s the best choice for yourself, and I’m very happy about it," Guo Cuihua went on and on, almost wishing Cheng Zhiwei could bring back the divorce papers that very moment, "Don’t worry about your dad, I will persuade him."

Cheng Zhiwei felt extremely embarrassed, and layers of bitterness washed over her heart. Her lips quivered as she spoke with difficulty, "Mom, actually... I don’t want to divorce anymore."

Guo Cuihua’s chopsticks paused as she looked at Cheng Zhiwei. Her expression was incredulous for a moment before it softened, "Why?"

It was obvious that Zhou Lin had not treated her well.

She had clearly been contemplating divorce, so why did she change her mind now?

Cheng Zhiwei, not daring to look at Guo Cuihua’s expression, covered her face, her voice both soft and sad, "I... might still like him, I guess."

Uttering those words, she felt pain herself.

Guo Cuihua couldn’t eat anymore and put her chopsticks aside, her brow furrowed in complete bewilderment, "You still like him?"

"I’m sorry." Cheng Zhiwei felt very sad, seeming to always disappoint them.

Guo Cuihua shook her head, "You make your own decisions. I can’t really advise you, but just consider that Seo Zhenzhen has returned and Ah Lin is sincere towards her. Standing between them will only deepen the misunderstandings between you. Is it worth it?"

Of course, it wasn’t.

But Cheng Zhiwei couldn’t tell Guo Cuihua the truth.

She was afraid Guo Cuihua would confront Zhou Lin, and then Zhou Lin would find a way to hurt her mom.

"Also..." Guo Cuihua still couldn’t help but say, "Meng Qiancheng is truly sincere with you, are you not afraid he’ll stop waiting for you?"

"That would be for the best." Cheng Zhiwei had no romantic feelings for Meng Qiancheng.

Guo Cuihua then knew that whatever she said would be futile and sighed, continuing with her meal.

The caretaker returned right on schedule, and after giving a few instructions, Cheng Zhiwei left, although she really wanted to stay by Guo Cuihua’s side, she knew that she couldn’t.

She couldn’t let Guo Cuihua see through her.

Meanwhile, in the president’s office of Zhou Group.

Secretary Zhang cautiously played a recording for Zhou Lin. In the recording, the nurse who had switched Cheng Zhiwei’s medication was crying, saying she was threatened by Bai Zhuzhu. If she didn’t comply, Bai Zhuzhu would sell her son to the remote mountains to Old Lin.

In front of Zhou Lin’s people, the nurse didn’t dare to lie.

So, the intermittent issues with Cheng Zhiwei’s throat were Bai Zhuzhu’s doing.

Realizing this, Zhou Lin felt a toothache.

The questions and accusations were clearly etched in his mind, and he seemed to see Cheng Zhiwei’s pale, aggrieved face again.

"You see, we need to go find..."

Secretary Zhang’s words were interrupted as he suddenly answered a phone call. After hanging up, his expression turned complex, "The people from the apartment said, Miss Seo went to the hospital."

Zhou Lin frowned, "Where is Cheng Zhiwei?"

Secretary Zhang made another phone call to inquire and soon said, "The Young Madam is also in the hospital."

With a twitch of his brow bone, Zhou Lin said emotionlessly, "To the hospital."

Cheng Zhiwei ran into Seo Zhenzhen in the corridor, her leg resting on a bouquet of flowers while the nanny pushed her wheelchair.

"Zhiwei." Seo Zhenzhen took the initiative to greet her, signaling her nanny to push her over.

Cheng Zhiwei looked at her coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Seo Zhenzhen pursed her lips, her expression inexplicably sorrowful, "Zhiwei, do we have to act like enemies every time we meet?"

Cheng Zhiwei turned her eyes away. Perhaps at the beginning, she had some sympathy and guilt towards Seo Zhenzhen, but now her actions had long since exhausted everything.

"We have nothing to talk about," she said lightly.

Seo Zhenzhen gripped the wheelchair handles tightly, smiled bitterly, "I know you hate me. It was you who fell for him first, and during that time, you helped him through his difficulties, but feelings can’t be controlled."

After waiting a bit, she continued slowly, "You helped him, but that doesn’t mean he has to like you, right? Besides, when you helped him, wasn’t it because you wanted to see him happy?"

"You still know it was me who liked him first. I took you as my best friend, sharing my secrets and my thoughts with you, but what about you? You treated me like a fool." Cheng Zhiwei was somewhat agitated as the past events, when recalled, were heart-wrenchingly painful, "I don’t need your unsolicited advice, leave here."

Seo Zhenzhen bit her lip, looking aggrieved, "Fine, if you don’t let me speak, I won’t. Zhiwei, I came to visit Auntie."

Came to visit Guo Cuihua?

Cheng Zhiwei stood in the middle of the corridor, her face expressionless as she watched Seo Zhenzhen. The last time in An City’s county, she hadn’t even visited Guo Cuihua, so her coming now was obviously with ill intent.

She wouldn’t let her disturb Guo Cuihua.

"My mother is already resting, don’t disturb her."

"Zhiwei, I really just want to visit Auntie. Because of me, she suffered so much, and I really feel terrible about it." Seo Zhenzhen pleaded in a soft voice, "You can’t deny me seeing Auntie just because there’s a misunderstanding between us."

"You also know she suffered because of you, so what right do you have to be here?" Cheng Zhiwei looked at her with sarcasm, refusing to budge an inch.

Seo Zhenzhen held the flowers, sighing softly, "I know Zhou Lin not liking you made you feel embarrassed, but Zhiwei, you have Brother Qiancheng now, right? He likes you so much, he’s even been waiting for you all this time. Can’t you turn back and look at him?"

"My business is none of your concern. I told you, get out," Cheng Zhiwei showed no hint of a good mood.

"But I must see Auntie." Seo Zhenzhen smiled, tilted her head slightly, and looked towards the person who had just appeared at the door of the ward.

Cheng Zhiwei turned around and saw Guo Cuihua being supported by a caregiver, coming to the doorway.

"Mom, why did you come out?" Cheng Zhiwei hurried over, took hold of Guo Cuihua, and shot a sharp glance at the caregiver.

The caregiver didn’t dare meet Cheng Zhiwei’s gaze, feeling guilty.
