Li Shanmei's words were like a stone thrown, causing an unexpected ripple in Zheng Zhihui's silent heart.

But soon, that feeling was forcibly suppressed by her.

"There has been another woman around him recently."

Although he said he spread the scandal with her to help Liu Ying, he agreed without saying anything to dedicate himself to making news. Doesn't this mean that he has special care for Liu Ying?

"And the second young lady of the Xie family, he is also very kind to others." Zheng Zhihui lowered her eyes and murmured, "I am not that special existence to him."

Seeing her acting like a jealous young daughter-in-law, Li Shanmei asked with a smile, "He cares so much about any woman around him. Do you still have expectations for him?"

Hearing this, Zheng Zhihui suddenly woke up and shook his head quickly, "No, I am self-aware."

She knew her identity and also knew that Zhang Boxuan would not like her.

"I just... followed your topic and told the truth."

Li Shanmei looked at her trying to hide her emotions and couldn't bear to ask any more questions.

"Then what are your plans in the future?" She changed the subject.

Zheng Zhihui breathed a sigh of relief.

"After my dad's affairs are over, I want to open a piano studio of my own like my piano teacher, study piano music with a group of people with similar interests, recruit some students who are interested in piano, and do my best to improve myself. Pass on what you have learned.”

She said it with a look of longing in her eyes at the end.

That kind of life must be very interesting.

Although she will no longer have love, she still has a brother.

When the time comes, let her brother also start a small business, and the two brothers and sisters will support each other. Even if it is no longer the life of wealth and wealth, even if there is no longer...him in the life, they can still live a peaceful life... Bar.

The only thing she hopes for now is——

Her father's appeal was approved by the court and the death penalty was commuted to life imprisonment.

In this way, she was satisfied.

She didn't dare to ask for anything else.

However, things often backfire—

The first court session was very unfavorable for Zheng Jianxiang. Seeing that there were still three days until the next court session, Zheng Shaoyuan became even more anxious and upset.

In the past, when Zheng Jianxiang was here, he always taught him that the more difficult and important things he encountered, the more he should be calm and composed, but Zheng Shaoyuan just couldn't do this. The greater the pressure, the more irritable and impulsive his thoughts became.

Without his father to offer advice and advice, he could only smoke to calm his messy emotions.

Seeing him standing sadly on the balcony smoking all night, Zheng Zhihui felt uncomfortable.

Seeing the starry night on the horizon gradually fading, Zheng Zhihui walked to the balcony holding a glass of milk.

"elder brother."

She handed him the milk and said, "Stop smoking."

Zheng Shaoyuan glanced at her and took the cup without drinking or speaking.

The two stood in silence for a long time before she asked, "Is dad's case really... hopeless?"

"The current situation is very unfavorable to us. Unless that bastard Zhang Boxuan lets go, otherwise..."

Zheng Shaoyuan angrily smashed the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and crushed it, as if he was stepping on someone.

Zheng Zhihui looked at him venting his anger and stood aside without saying anything. She just frowned and fell into her own thoughts.

night.

It was already past ten o'clock when Zhang Boxuan left the company. He drove home alone. Before he reached the door, he saw a small figure squatting outside the door.

Zheng Zhihui waited at the door of his house for nearly five hours. By now, she was too tired to stand and could only squat aside.

In the darkness, car lights came over her. She turned around and saw Zhang Boxuan's car and stood up quickly. However, her feet were numb from squatting for too long and she staggered.

Then, the car stopped in front of her.

Seeing that Zhang Boxuan was willing to stop, she breathed a sigh of relief. The next second, she felt a little embarrassed and nervous.

Just as he was adjusting his emotions, the driver's door was opened, and then the tall man got out of the car.

"...Mr. Zhang."

Zheng Zhihui walked over and called him in a low voice, somewhat embarrassed.

Hearing this title, Zhang Boxuan frowned slightly, but he didn't do much to correct it. He just looked at her and asked, "Why are you here so late?"

Zheng Zhihui's hand holding the hem of her skirt became a little tight. She swallowed with a dry throat before looking up at him, "I want to talk to you about something, is that okay?"

Her pleading tone was a little weak.

After all, she was rejected the last time she came to him. It was only because of the rain that he mercifully gave her a chance to talk.

Zhang Boxuan looked at those careful beautiful eyes and said, "Go in and talk."

"No, you don't have to go in." Zheng Zhihui quickly waved her hand and declined. She was self-aware and knew that he didn't like her to enter his house.

"Just a few words, I'll leave after I finish."

Zhang Boxuan actually knew why she came to him, "Tell me."

Zheng Zhihui's fingertips trembled slightly, and she mustered up her courage before speaking:

"I know that my father deserves it, and I also know your hatred for our Zheng family. You want him to die... it's right. But, but..."

Her voice gradually choked up, and the draft she had written early in the morning became incoherent when she spoke it:

"Can I beg you, let him go? We are not trying to evade responsibility. My brother and I just want my dad to be commuted to life imprisonment. If you are willing to let go, my brother and I will leave Yancheng from now on. , I will never show up in front of you, okay?"

Just a life sentence?

It seemed that she had no idea that Zheng Shaoyuan was planning to acquit Zheng Jianxiang.

Besides, why did he ever say that she was an eyesore to him?

Looking at the girl whose eyes were full of tears and whose face was full of pleading, Zhang Boxuan felt that his heart was stuffy and uncomfortable. For a moment, he didn't know what to say without hurting her.

Seeing his silence, Zheng Zhihui thought he was unwilling, and felt ashamed and embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I know my request is shameless, but... I have no other choice."

She looked up at the man and suddenly took two steps forward, "I will kneel down and kowtow to you on behalf of my father. Please give him a chance..."

Seeing that before she finished speaking, she bent her knees and knelt towards him. Zhang Boxuan's pupils trembled, and he hurriedly reached out to hold her arms and help her up.

"do not do that."

He looked down at the plain face full of tears, and there was a flash of pain and distress in his eyes. He couldn't help but raise his hand to gently wipe the tears on her face.

"I'm sorry." His voice was low and hoarse.

"I can promise you anything else, but this is the only thing... I can't."

He swore in front of his parents' graves that he would send his enemies down to make amends to them.

Therefore, no matter how cruel it is, I can only reject her.

Zheng Zhihui's moist long eyelashes trembled twice, and then slowly lowered her head.

"……I see."

She said weakly, gently pushing away his hands holding her arms.

"I'm sorry to bother you so late..."

Seeing her turn around and leave as if her soul had been drained, Zhang Boxuan reached out and held her wrist, "I'll take you back."

Zheng Zhihui had already been stuffed into the passenger seat before she could say "no".

The two of them were silent all the way until the car stopped at the entrance of the City Garden Community.
