Chapter 209 Willingness
Chapter 209 Willingness
Along the way, Zhou Niantang hugged him tightly, buried her head in his shoulder, and cried with sobs.
Where she couldn't see, Pei Shi's face had turned as black as ink.
He clearly heard from Yun Zhi yesterday that Zhou Niantang had been back home from the hospital for several days.
She was discharged directly from the hospital the same day they met, which was a good sign of improvement.
It's only been one day and she's been bullied like this, and there's no one around her!
After he carried her to his lounge and put Zhou Niantang on the bed, he wanted to stand up, but she still held him tightly.
But her injuries had to be treated, so I could only pat her back gently and comfort her with a voice that was a little hoarse because of the heartache.
"I won't leave. I'll stay here and help you take care of your injuries first, okay?"
Feeling Zhou Niantang shaking her head in his arms and crying even harder, he went straight to the bed, lay down beside her, and held her tightly in his arms.
He knew that she needed to vent her emotions, and all he could do now was to accompany her.
He had no intention of asking Zhou Niantang what had happened. Letting her recount the bad memories herself would only add another layer of hurt to her.
He would check it out himself and then punish those who bullied her.
Life is better than death.
After a long time, the person in his arms gradually stopped crying. Pei Shi thought she was tired of crying and might fall asleep. After patting her back for a while, he thought of letting her go, but she hugged him tighter again.
He didn't know that after Zhou Niantang finished crying, his mind became much clearer.
She was trembling with tears from just crying. "Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming bullied me. He tricked me into going to the company and asked me to sign something. If I didn't, he would strangle me."
Her voice became more and more aggrieved, so she stopped and took a long while to calm down.
Pei Shi stroked her back and told her softly, "You don't have to tell me. I'll know even if you don't tell me."
But Zhou Niantang continued: "He also pulled my clothes and pinched my hands, and then, I hit him with an ashtray."
She suddenly felt that she had always said that Pei Shi was bullying her. She felt that she had been bullied badly.
After all, she has never been beaten in her life!
She was bullied by that beast Zhou Ming today, and she didn't regret hitting him with an ashtray at all, not even if she killed him.
After she finished speaking, she started crying again, talking as she cried.
"I don't know what happened to my dad. I can't find him. Did they lock him up?"
This idea came to her mind while she was waiting downstairs.
There is no doubt that something must have happened to Zhou Tonglin, and the news was blocked by them just to make her sign that thing.
She suddenly remembered the dream she had on the day of tomb-sweeping day.
Pei Shi felt her body trembling with fear, and reached out to stroke her face, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Perhaps other words could comfort Zhou Niantang.
The only thing is that when it comes to caring about Zhou Tonglin, she can't calm down if she can't see him in person.
Pei Shi was clearly aware of all her emotions. He stroked her hair and continued to coax her.
"How about you take a nap first? Once you wake up, I'll take you to find your dad."
Zhou Niantang finally nodded, she loosened her arms around him and looked up at him.
"besides……"
"what else??"
She bit her lower lip, feeling that if she told him, he would not agree, and might even think it was too much and would not even help her find her old father.
"Looking for my sister... She went abroad."
As soon as she finished speaking, she lowered her head guiltily, not daring to look at him.
She felt that she was taking advantage of his love for her and asking him to do this and that.
It was obvious that he was not having a good time in the Zhou family, but she asked him to go find Zhou Yunqi, who had made things difficult for him for four years.
The guilt came over me again.
But she had no one else to turn to now. In City A, apart from Pei Shi, she couldn't think of anyone else who had the ability to settle this matter.
Pei Shi sighed, as if he understood a little more why Zhou Niantang was depressed.
She is soft-hearted and thinks too much.
For one thing, she could just state her request directly, and the people who loved her would naturally help her handle it.
But she always worries about this and that, and is afraid of disappointing either party, so she finally chooses to put herself in a difficult position.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine after a good night's sleep."
It was still that gentle tone, like coaxing a child.
Zhou Niantang grabbed his clothes and said in a tearful voice, "I have been letting you down."
If she had rejected him and stayed away from him like she did in the beginning, just like now, even when she encountered problems, she didn't think of coming to him for help.
She wouldn't have such a strong sense of guilt.
Pei Shi could also gradually fade away his love for her as time went by.
But later, she took the initiative to approach him again and again, carried him to the beach, asked him to carry her on her back, and hugged him.
She also gave him information that allowed him to contact her, insisting on sticking to him.
She is an absolute scumbag who has been keeping him hanging and taking advantage of him.
Pei Shi reached out his hand again, lifted her face slightly, looked at her with watery eyes and said, "I didn't let you down, I did it willingly."
After he said that, Zhou Niantang wanted to cry even more.
His selflessness makes her seem even more shameless!
Especially since he added, "Don't think too much, just accept it with peace of mind."
Zhou Niantang raised his eyes to look at him. He was apparently a very cool and upright person outside, but now, his beautiful eyes were filled with her.
She quickly lowered her head. If she looked at him again, her guilt would have deepened.
She discovered that not only had Pei Shi's character collapsed, he had also become a love-brained person.
Although it was inappropriate to have such an idea at this time, this was what she thought in her head.
After a long while, Pei Shi really let her go, got off the bed, and took off her shoes.
His eyes fell on the place where her heel was rubbed and his gaze darkened.
He pulled the quilt over her and stroked her red and swollen eyes: "If you don't dare to sleep alone, can I ask Yun Zhi to accompany you?"
He knew that she had been feeling very insecure recently, especially now that she was in a strange place.
She shook her head, what she actually wanted to say was that she couldn't sleep.
In recent days, her sleep has not been very good and she has to rely on medicine to fall asleep every night.
But speaking out loud will only make people worry.
So she closed her eyes and pretended that she was really going to fall asleep.
Maybe because she was frightened, walked too long, and cried for so long, she fell asleep not long after closing her eyes.
Pei Shi sat beside the bed and waited until her breathing became steady before he got up and left.

Qian Jin left work early today. As Pei Shi's first assistant, his ability is unquestionable.
He didn't even need his boss to tell him what to do. After seeing Zhou Niantang appear like that, he immediately started to check Zhou Niantang's whereabouts today.
Afterwards, we found out that the matter was far from simple.
"Chairman Zhou is still in Zhou Qi's hands, and several of his assistants and secretaries have also been taken into custody. This is clearly an illegal occupation, and it has been planned for a long time."
"Zhou Yunqi went to Country H a week ago, and nothing happened. However, she probably didn't know that there was a problem within the Zhou Group, and the news was blocked very tightly."
Qian Jin stopped here and glanced at the door of the lounge. He wanted to say that if Pei Shi wanted to use this opportunity to acquire some shares of Zhou Corporation, now would be the best time.
But thinking about the boss’s attitude towards Miss Zhou Er just now, I guess he won’t do that.
Sure enough, Pei Shi said in a calm tone: "Go find Zhou Yunqi's contact information."
He wanted to talk to her in person.
