C43 (1/2)

”Xiao Ye …”

Zhou Zijin's hand gently rested on my face, and I subconsciously took a step back.

Tears fell onto my hands, and I realized that remembering the past could easily make me cry.

Sensing my resistance, Zhou Zijin awkwardly retracted his hand.

”I'm fine …”

I turned my face away.

Those so-called past, in fact, has never had a past with me.

The pain of losing Lin Mu, was still tormenting me up until now.

”Are you thinking about Lin Mu?”

He looked at me and said calmly.

I nodded slightly. This was no longer a secret.

”Xiao Ye, let me ask you, if one day you find out that Lin Mu is still alive and well in this world …”

”Impossible!” I answered without thinking.

There can't be two people who look the same in this world, and I saw Lin Mu's ashes with my own eyes.

”Why is it impossible? Maybe he was still alive? When he threw himself into the water, the body that he brought out would no longer be the same. How can you be so sure that the corpse was Lin Mu? ”

I looked at Zhou Zijin and shook my head. He was a lot older than me, but he was even more unrealistic than me.

”Zi Jin, I don't want to talk about this anymore.”

As I said that, I pushed my Crab Bag to the side. Remembering my unhappy past, even when the food was brought to my mouth, I didn't have the strength to continue talking.

He didn't say anything. He just looked at me.

After a while, Jiang Yu faxed the contract to me and I passed the contract to Zhou Zijin.

”Since you chose to believe him, then you don't need to show me these things. I believe you. ”

He seemed to have forgotten about his disagreement with Jiang Yu, which surprised me a little.

I set aside the contract Jiang Yu passed over to me, when Zhou Zijin suddenly opened his mouth and said, ”I'm very curious, how did you meet him?”

I leaned back in my chair, half-closed my eyes, and said casually, ”I did him a small favor. He was very grateful to me, so he worked under me.”

I didn't lie. I simply simplified the process.

As for how to explain it, that was Zhou Zijin's problem.

”So that's how it is …” Zhou Zijin smiled slightly, picked up the document I placed at the side and said: ”From this document, it seems that he is quite a talented person, to be able to scheme over such matters at such a young age, without a few years of experience, it would be difficult to achieve such a feat …”

After all, no matter what, Jiang Yu was someone I had personally picked myself.

But for some reason, I keep having the feeling that Zhou Zijin's words contained some hidden meaning. He sounded as if he was praising Jiang Yu, but it seemed more like he was expressing something else …

”Although this Jiang Yu is good, he still has his shortcomings.” Zhou Zijin paused as he spoke.

”He … ”Not steady enough …”

I nodded in agreement.

In the period of time he had interacted with Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu was indeed a talented person, and seemed to be proficient in every aspect.

But perhaps it was because I had just met him, and for a long time he had shown me a polite estrangement, a feeling that was the easiest to beguile.

However, he seemed to have revealed his true colors recently …

Perhaps it was because he had been with me for so long that he began to show me the emotions and sorrows that a normal man should have, and the real him was far from what I had imagined him to be.
