Chapter 194 Cutting the Trouble with a Quick Sword
The door of the ward was opened. Zhou Niantang turned around and glared at Zhou Ming fiercely.
At this moment, she only felt that this person, like his cousin Zhou Yuan, made her feel disgusted.
Zhou Ming didn't care at all, and even urged her to go in quickly with a smile.
He knew that Zhou Niantang would never have access to the real power of the Zhou family in the future, so he felt that there was no need for him to spend his energy on pleasing her.
Zhou Niantang knew that he couldn't escape anyway, so he could only accept his fate and go in.
The ward door was closed behind him.
Zhou Yunqi was working at the desk in the outermost room. She saw her as soon as the door opened. She walked over and called her softly.
"elder sister."
"Well, have you eaten?" Zhou Yunqi looked up from the documents with a calm expression, and looked her up and down, as if to make sure whether she was intact.
His tone was normal and he didn't look angry at all, which surprised Zhou Niantang.
She had originally planned that Zhou Yunqi would ignore her or question her why she ran out with Pei Shi in the middle of the night.
But from the current situation, it seems that there is no intention to settle accounts with her.
She hadn't eaten anything since last night, and she couldn't eat at all and had no appetite.
But when Zhou Yunqi asked him this, he still answered obediently: "Not yet."
Then Zhou Yunqi asked her to go back to bed and rest, and asked someone to bring her food.
After she had been lying in bed for more than half an hour, Li Jing called her to eat, and she was halfway through her meal.
She then realized a problem.
I haven’t seen Aunt Zhang and Lolo since I came back.
It was obvious that it was always the two of them who took care of her, or at least they took turns.
She asked Li Jing, and Li Jing said, "They are helping to pack up at home so that they can go to H City with you. Someone will take care of you for the next two days."
The person who had always taken care of her suddenly stopped taking care of her, but Zhou Niantang was not stupid.
Most likely it was because Aunt Zhang and the others found out that she was not there, so they did not look for her immediately, nor did they tell Zhou Yunqi.
So they were withdrawn, fearing that they would let her run away again.
As for where she might run to, the answer is self-evident.
She felt that the rice in her mouth began to have no taste again, so she put down the spoon for soup.
"Won't you eat a little more?" Li Jing saw that the food in front of her had just been touched and felt that this second young lady was really tortured by this damn love.
"I'm stuffed."
She went straight back to bed, lay down, wrapped herself in the quilt, closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.
Li Jing didn't say much, packed up the lunch box and went out.
Zhou Niantang fell asleep not long after lying down. She didn't sleep much last night and walked a lot, so tiredness made her sleepy at this time.
When she woke up from her sleep, she found it was dark outside.
My head felt dizzy, and when I stood up I found my legs were sore.
So this is the punishment for being impulsive, she thought.
She could vaguely hear someone talking outside the ward, so she walked over and opened the door a crack.
It was very surprising to find that Zhou Yunqi had not left and was still here.
I originally saw Zhou Yunqi talking to Li Jing and another person, and thought they were discussing work matters, so I didn't want to go over and disturb them.
But the moment she closed the door, she heard the words "H City" and stopped to listen.
"Someone has been arranged to clean the house over there. You can go there at any time. Please check the specific day." A strange voice was speaking.
Li Jing asked Zhou Yunqi: "The original plan was to arrange a flight for tomorrow. Do you think we can leave tomorrow?"
Zhou Yunqi thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait for two more days. Tangtang is still a little weak these two days."
She was afraid of accidents on the road because of the long journey.
"Also, find something for Zhou Ming to do, but don't let him get to the top level, and don't let him get in touch with those important projects."
"Okay." Li Jing replied.
After that they talked about other work.
Zhou Niantang closed the door and sat on the ground dejectedly.
She knew that she would eventually have to go to H City, and her opinion didn't seem to matter.
She remembered what Yun Zhi said, if she didn't want to go, then don't go. She was already that old, she had the most basic right to freedom.
But if I analyze it rationally in my mind, I realize that the situation is already very chaotic.
After she ran away so capriciously last night and was caught in the act, Zhou Yunqi was certain that she and Pei Shi must be together.
She seemed to have dug a big hole for herself invisibly.
It's really stupid.
She sat on the ground for a long time, and only when she heard the sound of a door closing outside did she get up and open the door.
She felt that if Zhou Yunqi didn't settle the score with her today, and maybe had a serious talk with her again, maybe this matter could still turn around.
She couldn't rely on her own guesswork to feel that she had to obey.
After opening the door and going out, Zhou Yunqi immediately noticed her and asked her if she was feeling unwell.
Zhou Niantang shook her head. In fact, she felt a headache and a stuffy chest. However, if she said it out loud, Zhou Yunqi might think that she was just being rude and had to run out in the middle of the night.
Then she will have no reason to say what she wants to say next.
"Sister, can I not go to H City?"
As soon as she said this, she immediately observed Zhou Yunqi's expression and found that she was still the same, with no emotional fluctuations.
She continued to ask with a heavy burden: "Is it okay?"
Zhou Yunqi turned off the desk lamp, closed the document in her hand, put it in her bag, stood up and walked to her sister.
He patted her shoulder and said, "Take a good rest these two days and don't think too much. The air and environment there are very good. You will like it."
The tone was gentle, without any harshness.
But Zhou Niantang still felt heart-sinking.
"I don't want to go, no matter what, why can't I just stay home?"
Zhou Yunqi's expression finally showed some signs of fluctuation, but she still tried her best to remain calm.
"I'm taking you to recuperate, and you won't be alone. I'll be there with you, too. Didn't you always want me and dad to be there with you?"
Zhou Niantang wanted to say that it was a long time ago. Although she still wanted to say it now, the situation was different, completely different.
She felt that she needed to use her trump card.
She reached out and grabbed Zhou Yunqi's sleeve, her eyes filled with tears, and she whispered pitifully, "Sister, please listen to my thoughts. Why do you seem to be unable to hear my thoughts? I said I don't want to go, and I have said it many times."
If it were in the past, Zhou Yunqi felt that she would really give in and agree to Zhou Niantang's request because of the way he spoke to her.
She had been busy last night, and when she saw the message Zhou Niantang sent in the morning, she did think about this issue seriously.
Should she have a good talk with her? As long as she promises to stop associating with Pei, she can temporarily not send her to H City.
But the result was that she actually ran out with Pei Shi in the middle of the night without even taking her cell phone with her, as if she was going to elope.
She originally didn't intend to care about what happened before. After all, she was her own sister, and no matter how angry she was, she couldn't really do anything to her.
But what happened today made her realize that if she continued to be tolerant of Zhou Niantang, she would only end up being completely deceived by that Pei guy, and then foolishly wasting her energy there.
She could see that Zhou Niantang had not been in a very good condition these days. If she continued like this, her health would definitely fail.
In her eyes, only by cutting the Gordian knot can the pain be minimized.
