Would you like to have a meal with me?

"What happened to her?" I asked him. He knew that I had always been at odds with his mother, and I thought it was very odd that he should make such a request.

"She regretted it." Xie Zongming said from the other side of the phone. His tone was very agitated, as though he was trying his best to pretend that he loved me, but he failed, "She knows you're good, she said the things that I told you before because she was too impulsive, she knows what you did for her family. As she thought about it, she immediately got sick, she's lying in the hospital, hoping that you could come and see her."

Would Xie Zongming's mother get sick from thinking about me? No matter how she thought about it, it was impossible.

I scoffed in my heart, but on the surface, I even said, "Sorry, Xie Zongming, I really don't have a way to see you right now. You know, no matter what, I can still be considered as my grandparents and parents who were daintily raised, and have always been very timid. When I saw you, and heard your voice, I couldn't help but think about everything you had done to me.

"I'm sorry." Xie Zongming's tone was full of regret, but I knew that he didn't regret it at all. I still remember those eyes of his that didn't have any love, and he probably wanted to hit me a long time ago. Xie Zongming tentatively asked me.

"Forget it, Xie Zongming." I sighed. "We can't go back." I said goodbye.

Xie Zongming is lying to me, what is he planning?

Maybe he's planning to rob me of my family property. It's not much, but it's also the root of my life.

I won't let him take it.

I remembered that I used Xie Zongming's name to lend me a loan of 5 million, and hoped that it could be completed.

I was thinking about this when my cell phone rang.

I looked at the clock on the wall. It was after midnight, and who would call so late?

The name displayed on the phone was Zhou Jin.

I hesitated, then picked up the phone.

"Xia Ying..." Zhou Jin sounded a little weak, "You don't want me anymore?"

His voice was very gentle, just like before.

I thought of his bright eyes and his slightly flushed cheeks when I kissed him.

"Yes." Still, I steeled my heart and said, "You and I are finished."

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Jin seemed to smile. However, his smile sounded somewhat sad. "My brother came today. Did my brother tell you to leave me when he asked me to go home?" There was a little hope in his voice. "How much did he give you?"

"No, he did come looking for me." "But he didn't give me any money."

"Then why did you leave me?" Zhou Jin said, "Didn't we say we were going to be together? I'll stay with you whether you get divorced or not. "

I was a little touched by Zhou Jin's words. He was still a very young boy. My fingers tightly gripped my clothes as I tried to resist the pain in my heart. "Because I'm already tired of you."

Zhou Jin was silent on the other end of the phone, but I could still see his expression. It was a look of patience and pain. He was not good with words. Even if there was pain, it would only remain in his heart.

"You know that." "I was just looking for you because I didn't want to be lonely. I just wanted to find a man I liked to sleep with, and I've been getting tired of you for so long."

"So what you said before was all a lie?" Zhou Jin said he suppressed his emotions and asked me.

"Right." I said, "I'm a cheating woman. I don't have any moral bottom lines, and I don't have to take my words seriously."

Zhou Jin was silent for a while, before finally hanging up.

I leaned back on the couch, feeling a little tired.

On the second day, I saw Xie Zongming guarding the entrance of the shop, he would look in from time to time, Xiao He was so scared that she wanted to call the police. I stopped her, I think Xie Zongming might not be that stupid today, but just in case, when I went out to talk to Xie Zongming, I had a carving knife hidden inside my sleeves.

"What's the matter?" I asked Xie Zongming.

Xie Zongming's appearance changed again. He became skinnier, his face blacker, and the clothes he wore was also dirty. The gaze he used to look at me made me feel a little afraid.

"My mom is sick. She wants to see you." Xie Zongming lowered his head and said, "She's very sick, I hope you can come and see her."

"Forget it." I said, "It's not like you don't know the relationship between your mother and me. We've always been at odds, and if I go, it might make her even worse."

When Xie Zongming heard my words, he immediately waved his hands and said, "My mom doesn't know how to express herself either. Actually, she really likes you."

I still shook my head and pretended to be sincere as I said, "Xie Zongming, I really don't have the courage to walk together with you right now. I even have to muster the courage to talk with you."

Xie Zongming looked at me and the expression in his eyes changed. He took a step forward as if he wanted to pull my hand, so I took a step back to avoid it.

He stopped and then came forward to grab me, and I was afraid of him.

"Xie Zongming, do you want to hit me again?" I cried.

But Xie Zongming turned a deaf ear, he still wants to catch me.

Just as I was about to take out my carving knife, a man suddenly blocked my way. He grabbed Xie Zongming's wrist and asked, "What are you doing?"

I looked up. I thought it might be someone I knew, but I had never seen this man before.

"She's my wife and I'm talking to her. What does it have to do with you?" Xie Zongming said. He seemed to want to struggle free from the man's arm, but he didn't manage to do so even after shaking him twice.

"If this beautiful lady is your wife, then you should treat her with gentleness." The man said that although the man had done a good job, why did his words sound a little disgusting?

I took a small step back.

"Heh." Xie Zongming sneered and turned to leave.

I looked at his back and thought he was getting more and more uncomfortable.

"Are you okay?" the man who helped me block Xie Zongming asked me, his tone was a little frivolous.

"I'm fine." "Thank you."

The man standing in front of me was handsome and stylish. He looked like the kind of man who'd chased a lot of girls.

"That's good." The man in front of him laughed and said, "My name is Qiao Rui."

"I am Xia Ying." I took a small step back. I wasn't quite used to his enthusiasm, and I didn't think the man in front of me would be interested in me, because he looked to be in his twenties. I was probably an old woman to him.

Qiao Rui noticed my movements and said with a smile, "Are you interested in eating with me?"
