Hey! The CEO who just scolded me met someone on a blind date.

That day, Su Zimu had just got off work. As soon as she got in the car, she noticed Jiang Huaizhou's low mood. She first turned her head to look at Nic, who was playing with the toys in his hands and didn't look like he had done anything wrong.

Without an answer in her mind, she asked while waiting for the traffic light, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Jiang Huaizhou sighed inaudibly, "Let's talk about it when we get home."

"Oh." She responded, but she was worried in her heart. It seemed that it was not a good thing.

Sure enough, as soon as they got home, Jiang Huaizhou first let Nic play by himself for a while, and then called Su Zimu to the room.

"What's going on? Why are you talking so mysteriously here?" Su Zimu said with a smile, "Did Nic cause any trouble?"

"Ye Baiyao is dead."

……

There was a blank space that lasted for dozens of seconds, and the surroundings suddenly fell into silence. Su Zimu even had a smile on her face that she didn't have time to retract. She only saw the lips of the people in front of her touching, but could not hear any sound.

From silence to sound, she only heard him say: "The body was found in his own villa, and the murderer has not been found yet."

Her throat was so tight that it hurt. She tried to squeeze out a voice that was unusually calm. "When did it happen?"

Jiang Huaizhou shook his head, "When he was found, it might have been... more than three days."

More than three days...

Su Zimu nodded mechanically. She wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. She just sat quietly beside the bed.

Seeing that she was not too sad, and even looked the same as usual, Jiang Huaizhou sat down next to her and held her hand with his cold big hand, "I didn't expect it to be like this." Although he didn't like him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart when a life suddenly disappeared. What he was more afraid of was that Su Zimu could not hold on.

"I didn't expect that either." Su Zimu said calmly, "I was wondering why he didn't answer the phone or reply to the message. It turns out something happened."

Her tone was too calm, as if she was talking about someone who had nothing to do with her.

"Can you cry for a while?" Jiang Huaizhou gently held her in his arms. Her reaction really scared and distressed him.

"I don't want to cry," she said calmly, but with less breath than usual.

Jiang Huaizhou was worried, so he kept his distance from her and looked at her with eyes full of heartache.

"I really didn't cry." Su Zimu said, and he reached out to touch the corner of his eyes to show him, "Look, I really didn't cry." It turns out that people really won't shed tears when they encounter great sorrow.

"Don't hold it in, cry." Jiang Huaizhou was worried about her like this.

"You go take care of Nic, I want to be alone." Su Zimu said, with the corners of his mouth even raised in a nice little arc.

Jiang Huaizhou nodded. Nic was still young and needed someone to take care of her, and she also needed an independent space to vent her emotions.

After Jiang Huaizhou left, Su Zimu felt that the surroundings were too quiet. She wanted to walk out of the room, but was afraid to see Nic. She didn't know what would happen if Nic knew that he would never see his uncle who loved him again.

He is only in his early twenties, how could God be so unfair?

She recalled the scene when they first met. He approached her on purpose, soiled her clothes, and caused her to sprain her ankle, but he always protected her unintentionally. He and she also had the same blood...

He would protect her even at the cost of his own life...

Also, how good he is to Nic...

He had done so many bad things, was God punishing him? But she had already forgiven him, why...

The cell phone suddenly rang. Su Zimu picked it up and saw that it was Qi Yan.

The call was connected, and the other party paused for several seconds before speaking: "Mu Mu, Xiao Bai..."

Before she could say anything, Qi Yan's voice came again: "Don't cry, don't cry..." As he spoke, his own voice choked with sobs.

Su Zimu was about to say that she didn't cry, but he found that she had been crying so much that she couldn't speak at all.

When Jiang Huaizhou told her the news, she was stunned. She knew that Jiang Huaizhou hated him, but he would not joke about such things. Despite this, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, maybe he was wrong. But Qi Yan's call undoubtedly shattered the only remaining fantasy in her heart.

"That guy is really something. He clearly said he would treat me to barbecue this weekend, but he dared to go back on his word." Qi Yan said.

Su Zimu wiped away his tears and said, "He is just a little brat, do you still expect him to keep his promise?"

Qi Yan: "Isn't it? He's just a child who hasn't grown up yet. He said a while ago that you learned a new dish and invited me to come and taste your cooking skills."

Tears rolled down Su Zimu's eyes, but he chuckled, "He is just like that. Only he doesn't despise my craftsmanship and even promotes it without fear of losing face." The more Su Zimu spoke, the more tears flowed.

Qi Yan's voice was also strange, "He doesn't feel ashamed, in his heart, his sister is the best."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Su Zimu could no longer hold back and burst into tears, covering his mouth.

Qi Yan was also feeling uncomfortable, and he choked up while trying to comfort her: "He hates to see you cry. He would be so upset if he knew you were crying."

Su Zimu put his phone aside and vented his emotions.

Qi Yan did not hang up the phone. After calming down, he said, "The police will follow up on the case. Now there is a difficult issue that I need to discuss with you. You must be mentally prepared."

Su Zimu guessed that it was related to Ye Baiyao, and tried to calm herself down. She asked, "What's the matter?"

Qi Yan sighed, "According to Xiao Bai's will, the only heir is Nic."

Hearing this, Su Zimu couldn't hold back her tears again, "What is he doing? Why is he making a will at such a young age? He must be crazy." She even suspected that he was cursing her like this.

Qi Yan continued, "The Ye family will soon know about Nic's existence, and they will also know about your existence, so you should be mentally prepared."

"I don't want them to know about Nic. I want to give up..."

"Don't." Qi Yan interrupted her, "These are all Xiaobai's hard work. He must have considered this arrangement carefully. Think about it again and don't jump to conclusions."

Qi Yan added: "I don't recommend you to give up. If you give up, there's no guarantee that others won't fight to the death for this benefit. I don't think Xiao Bai would want to see this."

The two hung up the phone, and Su Zimu promised that she would seriously consider it.

When Su Zimu opened her eyes again, the room was already dark. Just as she was in a trance, Jiang Huaizhou pushed the door open and walked in, holding a bowl of porridge in his hand.

"Wake up, come and eat something."

Su Zimu was a little confused, "Where's Nic?"

Jiang Huaizhou: "It's late at night, he fell asleep long ago."

Su Zimu sighed that he has taken good care of Nic and he doesn't need to look for his mother at any time.

Jiang Huaizhou saw through her, "He has been clamoring to find you since dinner, and I said you were sick and needed to rest, so I managed to trick him into thinking you were sick."

Su Zimu nodded gratefully at him, paused for a few seconds and said, "I want to go back home."
