After saying this, Liang Jing suddenly did not know how to continue.
After a moment of silence, she finally calmed down and frowned. “I can understand how you feel, but after so many years, you are no longer a child. At this age, many people may not be like you, still thinking about chasing after some love. I told you, did you really think that there was love between your father and me when we first started?”
Liang Jing usually did not voluntarily talk about her and Zhou Zhenjun, but seeing her son like this, she felt that there might be a need to talk about it.
“In those first few years when your father and I were just married, it was terrible. We were both in a period of adjustment, and it was so serious that we almost got a divorce.”
“My father’s job is just like that, and you’re a doctor, so you don’t spend much time together to begin with. Besides, my father doesn’t know how to maintain his relationships, it’s normal for you two to have problems.”
“See, you know that your father isn’t perfect, and neither are you. No one is perfect, so can’t you…”
“Let’s not talk about this for now. The hospital is just ahead. I’ll pull the car over, and you can get down by the roadside.”
“Zimo…”
The conversation ended on a bad note.
As she watched Zhou Zimo car drive away, Liang Jing’s heart ached for no reason—
She wondered what was up with her child…
…
Half an hour later, at the Traffic Management Bureau, in Su Chen’s office.
“Chief Su, Master Mo is here. He’s heading up!” Secretary He said to Su Chen with a smile as he delivered the documents to him.
At this moment, Su Chen was reading through the documents. When he heard his words, he immediately raised his eyes. His black eyes were filled with surprise—
“Zimo? What is he doing here?”
“He must be here to catch up with you, Chief Su. I’ll leave these documents here for now. They are to be sent out the day after tomorrow.”
As Secretary He spoke, he also placed the documents in his hands in a corner of his desk. Then, he quickly went over to boil water and make tea for the two of them.
As expected, just as Secretary He finished brewing the tea, Zhou Zimo appeared at the door.
“Master Mo!”
When Secretary He left the office, he even greeted him respectfully. Zhou Zimo nodded with a smile and then turned around to close the door.
“Why are you here? I heard from Mother Zhou a few days ago that you weren’t feeling very well. What happened?” Su Chen put away the pen in his hand and walked towards him as he asked.
“It’s just a small cold and fever. How big of a deal can it be? I’m almost better. Where’s Chen? Invite him out for lunch.”
Zhou Zimo’s voice was still hoarse. As he spoke, he coughed a few times, feeling a little uncomfortable. “I’ve been bored at home these few days. My mother has been nagging me about a daughter-in-law almost every day. I’m so tired listening to her.”
“Ah Chen is still in City B at the moment. I don’t think he’ll be back anytime soon. Besides, I’ve been very busy recently. Look at all the documents on my desk.”
Su Chen had been annoyed to death by the pressure from the higher-ups recently. The car accident had a huge impact. The only thing he could do was to handle it impartially. He was also prepared to be reprimanded by the higher-ups.
“Why is he in City B? Did he got visit Lingshi and Ah Mo?” Zhou Zimo asked.
Mu Lingshi, Ah Mo, and the others were all there, and Mu Yuchen seemed to miss them too.
“It’s probably about the project. I went to visit Ah Mo and the others. Oh right, how’s Uncle Zhou doing recently?”
Su Chen suddenly remembered the matter that Mu Yuchen had mentioned before. He could not help but squint at Zhou Zimo and ask tentatively.
“He’s been doing some military research recently, so he’s out so probably won’t be back for a long time. Since he’s not home, the pressure on me is much less now.”
Zhou Zimo did not hide the sense of relief he felt at the moment.
“It’ll get to you sooner or later! I’ve told you before that hiding like this isn’t a real solution. You have to find a way to solve it. I think Ah Chen’s suggestion is pretty good.”
Su Chen touched his chin and took a sip of his tea. He looked at Zhou Zimo with a meaningful gaze.
“It’s not bad, but not every woman can play the role of husband and wife together. If they don’t handle it well and break up, the consequences will be very serious. Especially my grandfather, he’s like your old man, these old guys are all smart.”
Zhou Zimo was extremely annoyed at the mention of this matter.
“I told you that you’re stupid, but you still won’t admit it? No matter how much of a fuss you make, at least the marriage certificate is real. Moreover, it won’t leave any traces of your transaction. Won’t that be a perfect way to smooth everything out? At worst, when the time comes, you can be a little more thick-skinned and say that it’s as simple as a husband and wife falling out.” Su Chen smiled.
“But where can I find a woman like that? At the very least, I have to find a woman who won’t make me feel disgusted. You know that I hate those women!”
Zhou Zimo frowned. “I asked you and Ah Chen to keep an eye out before. Is there still no news?”
“It’s better for you not to make things difficult for your buddies when it comes to finding a woman. You know what type you like best. You might not like our tastes either.”
“Alright, I know your tastes, along the lines of Xi Xiaye and Ji Zitong, you and Ah Chen really fell for that! In the future, I definitely won’t be like you guys, be eaten up by a woman!”
Zhou Zimo looked at Su Chen with disdain and sipped his tea nonchalantly, “Only you guys can handle this matter. You guys are halfway through anyway. I don’t believe that Chen would suddenly think of such a method. I’ve been with him for so many years. Do you guys really think I’m a fool?”
When Zhou Zimo said this, Su Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise—
“When did you suddenly become smart again?”
“F *ck off! Let’s go drink tonight!”
“I’m not going. I promised Zitong that I would be home early.”
“I don’t care what you promised. I have to go tonight. My friend’s store has just opened. I’m going to join in the fun and support. It’s not like I’m asking you to flirt with women. Why are you so nervous? Look at your expression. It looks like you’ve really become a saint of love. Don’t think that I don’t know about you watching those videos with the dorm next door.”
Zhou Zimo gave Su Chen an evil look, but his handsome face was still as calm as ever.
“I really am a love saint. What kind of look is that? Zitong and I often watch it together… If you’re jealous, go find yourself a wife!”
“Why do I always end up with a bunch of bad friends like you! If you keep being so smug, I’ll tell Ji Zitong that your red underwear was stolen by a lecherous woman!”
“Zhou Zimo, choose a pose that will make your death look good!”
