Chapter 293: Zhou Zhilei, Are You Tired Of Living?
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
From the age of 18-31, Zhou Dayuan had lived for this woman named Jian Han.
She had disappeared for six years, and he had searched for her for six years. Even if she had walked out in his most difficult years, even if she had betrayed their best times, he did not forget. He still remembered their agreement.
Later, she appeared as the proud student of hypnotist Master Bill. She was Young Master Tang’s girlfriend; everything was so ridiculous.
Turns out that he had been the only one standing in the same place. She had led such a good life!
Jian Han pressed her hand over her mouth and cried bitterly. Memories of their past appeared in front of her eyes. Once, they had been so happy.
The hand on her shoulder slowly loosened, Zhou Dayuan stood upright. His white coat hung down, and he recovered the quiet, calm composure he had during the day. He turned around, put one hand on the door handle, and calmly said, “Dr. Jian, congratulations, happy breakup, and I wish you happiness.”
Breaking up had always been her unilateral att.i.tude. He had not agreed before, but today, he agreed.
Happy breakup.
He went out.
When the man left and the door of the changing room closed again, Jian Han slowly slid down against the wall behind her. She sat on the ground, curled up her legs, buried her face, and cried bitterly.
Traitor?
Jian Han was laughing in her heart. He could never understand her pain!
…
Ning Qing stayed in the corridor. About 10 minutes later, the door opened and Zhou Dayuan came out.
“Brother Dayuan.” Ning Qing looked at the man. There was no emotion on the man’s face. His handsome features were calm and composed. His s.h.i.+ny leather shoes made a steady sound on the cold floor.
“Ning Qing, why haven’t you returned to the ward yet?” Zhou Dayuan stopped beside her and asked.
Ning Qing pouted her pink lips in embarra.s.sment. “Brother Dayuan went into the women’s dressing room. I was afraid someone would go in. This is the hospital where you work. If gossip spreads, it would not be good for you and Jian Han’s reputation.”
Zhou Dayuan lifted his lips and smiled warmly. He looked at the girl who was one head shorter than him. Somehow, there was always an inexplicable closeness to her in his heart.
He could not help but reach out and touched Ning Qing’s head. “Go back, it’s all right. Shaoming’s going to look for you if he doesn’t see you soon.”
“Alright…” Ning Qing hesitated and looked back at the dressing room. “Sister Jian?”
Zhou Dayuan withdrew his hand, but his eyebrows did not move. “If you’re worried about her, go in and have a look.”
He walked away.
…
Ning Qing went to the door of the women’s dressing room. She hesitated to knock. Judging by Zhou Dayuan’s appearance just now, the two must not have reconciled.
She was about to raise her hand and knock at the door, but the door opened, and Jian Han walked out.
Ning Qing looked at her. Jian Han’s mood was calm, similar to Zhou Dayuan’s, but her eyes were red, and she looked like she had just cried.
“Sister Jian,” Ning Qing blinked twice and whispered, “I think I must have made a mistake. I’m sorry.”
Jian Han sniffled, stretched out her hand, and rubbed Ning Qing’s small head. “I’m alright. It’s all in the past. It’s alright after we’ve talked it out. Doctor…Zhou and I will have our own lives, but, Ning Qing, you are not allowed to let men into my dressing room in the future,” Jian Han joked.
Ning Qing looked at Jian Han’s gentle and beautiful eyes and thought that when she had first met Jian Han, she felt a little aloof, but in fact, Jian Han was a very gentle little woman deep down.
She must have been a very young and naïve girl when she fell in love with Dayuan.
Her small head had just been touched by Zhou Dayuan, and now it had been touched by Jian Han. Both of them have a lot of tacit understanding in character and action.
After all, how many people would change in six years?
Ning Qing was very sorry. In her heart, Zhou Dayuan gave her a sense of security similar to an older brother’s. If only Jian Han could be her sister-in-law.
But feelings could not be forced. She was an outsider and did not have a say.
“Alright.” Ning Qing nodded and reached for her slim arm. “Jian Han, let’s go.”
…
They went out, Jian Han was going to take Ning Qing back to the ward and leave, but when they reached a corner, they heard someone talking at the entrance of the corridor.
Ning Qing felt that the voice was familiar when she heard it.
Zhou Zhilei!
Jian Han stopped beside her. She was no stranger to the voice either. She put her little hand hanging by her side in her coat pocket and then clenched it in a death grip.
Ning Qing looked at the entrance of the corridor. The door of the corridor was half-hidden. She saw Zhou Dayuan and Zhou Zhilei standing face to face. Zhou Zhilei was very agitated.
“Brother, what’s this? I heard that Brother Ming has recovered his memory? Did you arrange a hypnotic treatment for him? Did you restore his memory?
“Brother, how could you do this to me? I’m your sister. You know I like Brother Ming, and I’ll only marry him. But instead of helping your sister, you helped an outsider. How could you help Brother Ming recover the memory of Ning Qing.
“Brother, how can you harm me like this? Is your surname even Zhou? Are you from our Zhou family?”
Zhou Dayuan frowned and lightly replied, “Zhilei, Shaoming and Ning Qing love each other very much, and they are husband and wife. No one can break them apart. As I’ve said earlier; Shaoming doesn’t have any feelings for you. You guys are not suitable. Don’t spend your time and effort on Shaoming anymore.
“Brother, how can you say that?” Zhou Zhilei broke down when she heard those words. She went up and pulled at Zhou Dayuan’s clothes with both hands. “I have spent so many years on Brother Ming. You’re asking me to stop now? Have you ever thought about me? I don’t want to! Brother, please help me. Help me find a way! Aren’t you a doctor?”
Ning Qing’s eyes blazed. She knew what Zhou Zhilei’s “aren’t you a doctor?” implied. How could her heart be so poisonous?
With a whoosh, Ning Qing burst out and pushed open the door. “Miss Zhou.”
Zhou Dayuan glanced at her and frowned slightly, but he looked very calm, however, when Zhou Zhilei saw Ning Qing, she was shocked.
Ning Qing sneered, “Miss Zhou, don’t put your brother in a bad spot. Your brother won’t help you. I’ve already told you a long time ago that if you want Lu Shaoming, you might as well come and beg me. Maybe I’ll see your how pitiful you are and sympathize with you.”
Zhou Zhilei released Zhou Dayuan and stepped forward with a vicious glare in her eyes. “Ning Qing, don’t be so smug so early. You’re going around with such a big belly now. You might be in danger at any time. You’d better be careful.”
Was this a threat to her?
Ning Qing remembered the last kidnapping incident in the wooden cabin. The main envoy behind the scenes must have been her!
Zhou Zhilei was also desperate. She used to push her mother-in-law Song Yajing forward as a s.h.i.+eld. Now, her mother-in-law doesn’t even want to look at her. She couldn’t enter the Lu family anymore. Lu Shaoming wouldn’t let her get close to him. She was desperate and unpredictable.
She had watched her get Song Yajing’s approval step by step, followed by the Lu’s family’s approval, and now that Lu Shaoming had recovered his memory, she was almost mad with jealousy
She was even using her own brother now.
Ning Qing wanted to speak, but a slim arm blocked her. Jian Han, who was next to her, took a step forward to s.h.i.+eld her.
Jian Han looked at Zhou Zhilei and said in a cold voice, “Miss Zhou, it’s you who should be careful. That sentence you just said poses a threat.”
When Zhou Zhilei looked at Jian Han, she laughed and sneered. Her eyes were full of scorn and sarcasm. “I thought, who is this person? It’s the sparrow who wanted to fly up to the branches and become a phoenix six years ago. Miss Jian, we haven’t met for six years; how are you doing?”
“Zhou Zhilei, that’s enough!” When Ning Qing and Jian Han both wanted to speak, Zhou Dayuan came in and said, “Leave yourself a little dignity. Go.”
“Brother, why do you always protect these outsiders? Do you still like Jian Han? Why can’t you bear it when I scold her a little? Brother, you are still the same as before. This Jian Han is not worth it. She abandoned you six years ago. Who knows how many men she has been with in these six years.”
“Zhou Zhilei!” Zhou Dayuan stared at Zhou Zhilei with dark eyes, then looked at Ning Qing. “You guys, leave quickly.”
“Brother Dayuan.” Ning Qing wanted to speak.
“Ning Qing, forget it.” Jian Han shook her head. “You can’t talk sense into this kind of person. Let’s go.”
Jian Han took Ning Qing away.
Zhou Zhilei watched the two people go, and she quickly went after them. “Ning Qing, Jian Han, don’t go, I haven’t finished speaking yet. Indeed, birds of a feather flock together. I didn’t expect you two to become good friends. You both come from humble backgrounds but want to rise in social status by seducing n.o.ble gentlemen. I despise people like you the most.”
Zhou Zhilei chased them as if she had gone mad. As long as she saw Ning Qing’s nine-months-pregnant stomach, she would become agitated. It was a pity that the last straw-house kidnapping didn’t kill her.
She lifted her bag and smashed it against Ning Qing.
Jian Han witnessed Zhou Zhilei’s crazy action. “Ning Qing!” she cried and quickly embraced Ning Qing from behind.
The sound of the bag hitting someone rang out, but Jian Han didn’t feel any pain, because a hand had been placed gently on her soft waist, and the cool scent that she was obsessed with rushed through her nose.
Zhou Dayuan was behind her, protecting her.
Jian Han froze. Suddenly she felt warm liquid dripping on the sleeve of her coat. Looking sideways, she realized that it was blood.
Jian Han quickly turned around. Zhou Zhilei’s bag had hit Zhou Dayuan’s forehead. His forehead was injured and bleeding.
Her pupils contracted violently, and she tiptoed quickly. She pressed her finger against the wound. Her voice was trembling. “Your forehead is bleeding. Does it hurt?”
With that, she gently wiped the droplets of blood from the side of his face with the sleeves of her coat and approached him again, blowing gently on his wound.
Ning Qing immediately became angry. She pointed at Zhou Zhilei and scolded, “Zhou Zhilei, are you crazy? You’re even attacking others now!”
Zhou Zhilei was stunned for a moment as she watched the blood on her brother’s forehead, and she decided that she might as well go all in and rushed at Ning Qing immediately. “Ning Qing, it’s all your fault.”
Right then, her arm was clasped by a big, powerful palm, and a deep and emotionless voice rang out in her ear. “Zhou Zhilei, are you tired of living?”
