How long and how short was a week? Chu Yin, Xu Zi 'ang, and Lin Xiaoyu did not know either. However, it was torture for every single one of them. Even Zhang Man and Qin Fan. No one knew who he was torturing, but in the end, no one could object to such a hasty decision. The next day, Chu Yin brought a large and small bag of gifts to meet Mother Zhang. With his current wealth, he could not take out too many gifts, and he was unwilling to ask for them from his parents. Fortunately, Zhang Man understood that Mother Zhang was very grateful to Chu Yin for not abandoning her, so she naturally did not care about those superficial gifts. After his rebirth, Chu Yin had never thought of relying on his previous experience to earn money. In his mind, stability was the most important thing, but now it seemed that that was not the case. When you don't have money, you'll be controlled by others too often. Should you still work for Zi Ang in the future? Or should you open your own advertising company?
In her previous life, she had been told that she was Lin Xiaoyu's freeloader so many times that she had become numb to it. Now that she thought about it, she still could not accept it.
The two people who were about to get engaged had just knocked on the door of the Zhang family when they were shocked. Their expressions changed at the same time. Chu Yin was surprised and a little angry. He could not help but ask the person in front of him,"Zi Ang, you actually found this place? What do you want?"
When Xu Ziang heard his words, a trace of hurt flashed across his eyes, but his expression did not change. He only said indifferently,"I'm just giving you your salary in advance to your mother-in-law. I'm not that bored.”Chu Yin looked at Xu Zi 'ang's expression and felt a little upset. He could always easily sense the emotional changes of his childhood sweetheart. Now that he had misunderstood him, he felt both guilty and touched. Decades of friendship could be easily resolved even if it was a huge estrangement and misunderstanding. Friendship was different from love. One wrong step could turn the world upside down. Therefore, for Xu Ziang, regardless of whether he was selfish or not, regardless of whether he had ever wavered, he had always been and could only be his best brother. That was all. Some debts could not be repaid, so they pretended not to know. This was good for both of them. Chu Yin was neither a fool nor a retard. He was just too smart.
Zhang Man was still a little bewildered. After receiving Chu Yin's comforting gaze, she put on a smile and walked into the house. She felt even stranger when she saw her mother's beaming face. Although she did not know what Xu Ziang wanted to do, she was thankful that her mother did not know about her matters. After all, she had been working hard to support this family. She had been her greatest pride since she was young. Zhang Man could not bear to let the perfect daughter in her heart become such an unbearable person. If her mother, whom she relied on for survival, collapsed, she would definitely not be able to live on.
Zhang Man threw herself into her mother's arms and hugged her tightly. She inhaled the breath that had made her feel at ease for decades. Suddenly, she felt a wave of reluctance for some reason. Mother Zhang comforted her daughter with her loving hands. She whispered to her daughter that although Director Xu had come to give the betrothal gift, she was still glad that Chu Yin had such a loyal brother. The current situation at home was also a little difficult to talk about. The child's father had fallen into someone's trap and was now in prison and owed a large debt. Mrs. Zhang, who had experienced all kinds of storms and hardships, was actually not afraid of these setbacks. It was just that she, the apple of her eye, had to suffer along with him. She really felt guilty. But fortunately, her daughter had such a good boyfriend. It did not matter whether he was rich or not. The key was that he was sincere enough to not leave her in times of crisis. That was enough.
Xu Zi 'ang's expression could not be seen clearly at the door. Chu Yin was shorter than him, so he did not dare to look up at him. After all, he had been hiding too obviously for the past two days. Moreover, he had misunderstood him just now. He did not know what to say for a moment. Xu Ziang spoke first, but there was a strong sense of fatigue in his words."Ain, I know I have no right to question you. However, as a friend for so many years, I think I should be qualified to know why you did this. If you don't think it's necessary, I won't force you. However, you don't have to hide from me. I've never been interested in other people's family affairs. Most of the time, all I care about is whether you're well or not. I won't go in and say goodbye to auntie. I'm too redundant to stay here with your family.”These words made Chu Yin's heart tighten, let go, and tighten again and again. He suddenly felt that he was a complete failure. Even if he had come back to life, he would still not be able to handle anything around him well. He would always hurt someone inadvertently and could not be saved. In the end, he could only nod his head with difficulty and say in a somewhat cryptic manner,"I'm sorry." Then, she continued," I'll go back to your place today. Some things can't be hidden forever.”Xu Ziang nodded and didn't say anything else. He turned around and left. He walked in a hurry as if there was something unclean in this place. Staying any longer would be torture for him.
Chu Yin looked at him and felt a wave of sadness in his heart. Why would someone like him make them work so hard? Where did his qualifications come from? He was just a stubborn and stubborn fool who surrounded himself with layers of fences.
After having dinner and talking to his future mother-in-law for a long time, the sky finally darkened. Mother Zhang warmly invited Chu Yin to stay, but the latter kindly shook his head and insisted on going back, saying that there were still some things that had not been settled. Mother Zhang couldn't accept it and had no choice but to send him away. Zhang Man followed behind. There was no sign of happiness or unhappiness on her smiling face. She was just as quiet and docile as a kitten, smiling gently.
Chu Yin did not have the time to worry about that. His mind was already in a mess. He did not know what to do or say later. He had promised to be honest, but he was worried about the consequences. He was so conflicted that he was about to die.
Chu Yin, who was about to take a taxi, had yet to reach out to call for a taxi when a silver-gray Porsche sports car stopped in front of him. The door slowly opened, and Chu Yin naturally sat in the front passenger seat. The next second, he felt that something was wrong. He turned around in shock and saw that it was not Xu Ziang who he thought was there, but someone in a red suit with his fringe down. She subconsciously wanted to escape, but she was held tightly in that person's arms. No matter how hard she struggled, it was useless. Chu Yin did not dare to make too much noise. Zhang Man and Mother Zhang had not gone far. What if they came back and saw all this? Thinking about it, he became nervous. Perhaps it was not because of this. Perhaps it was enough as long as Lin Xiaoyu appeared in front of him. Before the struggle ended, the person whispered in her ear. Zhang Man and the others seemed to be walking over. Are you sure you want to get out of the car? Chu Yin became obedient with just one sentence. He said helplessly and hatefully," Let go of me then." Lin Xiaoyu still hugged him tightly and did not let go until a low voice said," Hurry up and drive." Only then did Lin Xiaoyu let go. He stepped on the accelerator, and the silver-gray sports car sped away like a wild horse that had lost its reins.
That night, no matter how Xu Ziang tried to call Chu Yin, no one answered. The same silver-gray sports car was parked in front of an apartment that was as cold as the night. No one knew what the owner of the car was thinking.
So that night, Zhang Man stood in front of the cold house and did not go in. Her eyes kept staring in the direction of the silver-gray sports car that the owner of the red suit had left. She stood there in a daze for a long time until the breeze blew so hard that her eyes hurt and she could not hold back her tears. The soft murmurs were blown into the wind, but the big tree beside him still heard them.
She said,"Is it because you shouldn't be greedy for things that aren't yours?"
