The heroine, she ruled all kinds of dissatisfaction

Chapter 164 The First Chestnut You Gave Me

Wen Qiao's words didn't sound alarmist, and Zhi Huai could see how serious he was when he said those words.

He was not very clear about Ye Fei's experiences in Nanzhou.

But when her memory recovered two days ago, Zhi Huai met Shen Qingli with Ye Fei.

From the conversation between the two, he also had some guesses.

"When I met her, she was working in an underground hospital in Nanzhou. She was a very capable little doctor."

At that time, Ye Fei lived a pretty good life.

Later, he brought Ye Fei back to Nanhui.

"She lost her close relatives and wandered for many years. People who never believed in feelings finally lost their colleagues who fought side by side with me. I chose to hide her memory."

The scariest thing about a person is not that he has never owned it, but that he has it and lost it.

Wen Qiao did not hesitate to tell the truth about Ye Fei's memory loss.

Now that the potion has expired, she has remembered everything she should have remembered.

"That's her past. Whether it's pain or happiness, it's up to her to decide. Others have no right to interfere." Zhi Huai raised his eyes and glanced at him.

He could hear what Zhi Huai meant. When he chose to inject the reagent, Chu Xi was the first to jump out and object.

But nothing could stop him from going his own way.

He knew it was unfair, and it was even more cruel to Ye Fei.

But he had no choice but to take this path for her.

"I originally thought to let her forget, as long as she has no memory, she won't pursue it, but I didn't expect it to be a failure."

Originally, Ye Fei was asked to return to Jiangcheng, but it was only because she was injured, to let her relax.

The second is to let her find something to do so that there will be no bigger problems.

But he didn't expect that Ye Qingcheng's matter would involve K country in the end.

If it wasn't for the message from Jing Chu.

He would let Ye Fei stay in Jiangcheng for six months as agreed, and even as long as she wanted, she could stay in Jiangcheng forever.

Wen Qiao only wanted her to be happy.

"So, what secrets does Country K have?" Zhi Huai stared at the person in front of him.

What kind of secret could make someone like Wen Qiao feel like an enemy.

He shook his head, "I can't say, you just need to know that I will never harm Ye Fei, that's enough."

Zhi Huai stared at him for a while, then raised the tea cup in his hand.

"I believe you."

His eyes don't lie.

The tea cup in Wen Qiao's hand touched his, "I'll leave it to you."

The two seemed to be chatting pretty well, and Jing Chu here was dumbfounded.

I didn't expect to see the picture of the two of them coexisting in such harmony.

"Boss, what do you think Boss Wen will say to Mr. Zhi?"

The only topic these two have in common is probably Ye Fei.

But everyone in Nanhui guessed that Wen Qiao liked Ye Fei, this was already public information, and there was nothing to talk about between rivals in love.

"If you're curious, come and listen."

Ye Fei said while swinging on the swing.

Jing Chu shook his head, what fun did he have in the past.

The two chatted for nearly half an hour, and when they finally got up and shook hands, Ye Fei saw the smile on the corner of Zhi Huai's lips.

"Young Madam?"

Zheng Bo didn't know when he came to Ye Fei's side.

"Uncle Zheng, what are you doing here?" Ye Fei asked after stopping the swinging swing.

"I'll bring something over." Uncle Zheng said and put over the fruit carried by the servant behind him. "You happen to be here. Try it. This is the fruit of the chestnut tree in the backyard. It's quite sweet."

It was almost the season of chestnuts, and Zheng Bo had picked some before and kept them.

Ye Fei took a look, there was a piece of peeled chestnuts over there, which looked bright yellow, round and beautiful.

Noticing Ye Fei's gaze, Zheng Bo explained.

"This is for sir, he likes chestnuts best."

Ye Fei smiled and took the chestnuts given by Zheng Bo, the difference was that hers still had shells.

The plate sent to Zhi Hanke has been stripped clean.

"Boss, I'll peel it off for you."

Jing Chu sat obediently at the table and began to shell the chestnuts.

Ye Fei and Zhi Huai sent Wen Qiao to the door together, and when he said goodbye to Ye Fei, his expression lost the tension he had when he first arrived.

"I'll go back first, you have to take Zhi Huai to Nanzhou to meet those boys."

If Ye Fei didn't take Zhi Huai back, those boys would probably explode.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Wen Qiao rubbed her head, "Your wedding will be held in Nanzhou."

The princess of Nanhui got married, so she couldn't just do it quietly.

Surely the most spectacular wedding in all of South Africa.

"Let's talk about that later."

Ye Fei replied.

She doesn't have time to worry about the wedding now, and she doesn't like those complicated etiquette.

It's good that it's so simple.

"No, the wedding must be held." Wen Qiao said and looked at Zhi Huai.

The man stepped forward and promised, "I will not wrong her, I will give her the grandest wedding."

This is a promise to her.

"Take good care of her. If she is wronged, I will definitely take her back." Wen Qiao looked at Zhi Huai.

The latter nodded and reached out to shake hands with him.

"I can."

The two headed towards the main hall, the servants have been busy welcoming the winter for the past two days.

Before the first snow falls in winter, some green plants in the house that are not cold-resistant need to be protected.

In some old houses, anti-skid, snow removal and roof cleaning work need to be done in time.

So these two days the people in the old house were very busy coming and going.

The old man is sitting in the yard basking in the sun at the moment, and he has already put on a thick jacket.

"Your brother is gone."

The old man asked a question.

Ye Fei and Zhi Huai sat down opposite him, watching him carefully peel the chestnuts.

"Try it."

The old man handed her a peeled chestnut.

"Why did you remember to eat chestnuts today?"

Ye Fei took it and put it in her mouth, the sweet and glutinous chestnut fragrance spread in her mouth.

"When people get old, they always have to find something to do, and they are idle anyway."

The old man said and handed another one to Zhi Huai.

"I just heard that you two plan to travel far away?"

Ye Fei looked at Zhi Huai, then at the old man, and denied it.

"It's my plan to go far away, Zhi Huai is not going yet."

Just being left behind, Zhi Huai raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl beside him.

"Young people, it's a good thing to go out and see more. It will broaden your horizons and broaden your mind."

The old man didn't care where they were.

When a child grows up, he always wants to fly out, just like a bird.

It is impossible to stay by the elder's side forever, just like Zhi Huai in the past.

"When are you going to leave?"

Ye Fei thought for a while, "After a year."

The New Year came soon after winter, and she wanted to stay in Jiangcheng to celebrate the New Year.

After the youth left Jiangcheng, she never went back to Jiangcheng for the Chinese New Year, which seemed to be a very long time ago.

Besides, for the elders, the New Year means family reunion, and she still wants to stay here.

"Tonight, don't swing on the swing at the gate of Qingheyuan. You are swaying around in the middle of the night, which is scary."

The old man looked at Ye Fei and said.

She nodded, "If you say no, I won't go."

The old man finished peeling the last chestnut, wiped his hands and got up.

"Take the chestnuts with you when you leave, I think Ye Fei likes them a lot."

Zhi Huai and Ye Fei looked at each other in blank dismay, the old man was kicking him out.

Why didn't you have dinner at Bitanju today?

……

Late at night, full of darkness.

The huge Zhi's house was lit up by street lamps one by one, except for the servants on duty who were still walking around.

In the whole courtyard, there are only the sound of fish jumping out of the water from time to time and the sound of fallen leaves being swept by the wind.

In front of Qingheyuan, a group of people came slowly from the east.

After seeing the person in the middle clearly, the person in charge of the guard reached out and unlocked the lock and pushed open the courtyard door.

"Father."

Zheng Bo signaled the people who came with him to stand guard at the door, and he accompanied the old man into the courtyard.

These few days, Zhi Hanke himself is unwilling to go out, and spends his days writing and reading.

The yard is cleaned every day, but there are still many fallen leaves piled up on the ground after nightfall.

When entering the door, only one light was on in the huge courtyard.

Zhi Hanke is sitting in the hallway reading a book at the moment, and there are half-eaten chestnuts on the table beside him.

There is also a teacup that is slowly steaming.

Zheng Bo stopped under the porch and did not go up. He turned his back to the two and looked up at the moon.

Winter is coming soon.

The old man was sitting next to Zhi Hanke, and there was a round table between them. On the table were chestnuts peeled by the old man himself.

The two are on the left and the right, one looks down at the book, and the other looks up at the moon.

No one spoke, and there was silence all around, only the sound of pages being turned.

After a while, Zhi Hanke's voice was heard.

"You don't want to talk to me anymore?"

The sound of turning pages stopped.

"You have already made up your mind, you still plan to dispose of my cheap son."

The old man didn't respond, he just closed his eyes, and tapped the armrest with his fingers a few times.

Zhi Hanke knew in his heart that he had vomited out everything about Ye Qingcheng, and the people there also knew the true source of the virus.

The old man did not hesitate to ask Lawyer Xiao to bail him out, just to preserve the reputation of the Zhi family.

Zhi Hanke is still very clear about this.

"Do you know why I like chestnuts so much?"

Zhi Hanke looked sideways at the old man, and there was no cynicism in his tone, just like an ordinary father and son chatting.

"That's because, when I first came here, you gave me one when you peeled the chestnuts yourself."

His father has disappeared since he was a child. When other children are enjoying the love of their parents, he can only participate in parent-child games in kindergarten by himself.

Zhi Hanting's seventh birthday was the first time four-year-old Zhi Hanke came to Zhi's house.

Because Zhi Yuanhong invited children from all the collateral branches of the Zhi family and Zhi Hanting's age to participate.

It was also at that birthday party that he saw for the first time the head of the Zhi family, known as the Wind Caller to the outside world, loving his son.

Zhi Hanke was timid at that time, and when he arrived, he just stayed aside and didn't dare to approach, let alone talk to others.

It was Zhi Yuanhong who noticed the little him in the corner.

He will always remember the picture of the tall man squatting down and coaxing him with chestnuts.

In the Zhi family these years, he enjoyed the love from his father that he had expected in the past. At that time, what he wanted was actually very simple.

It is enough for the family to be happy together.

Unfortunately, it went astray in the end.

"I didn't understand before, why you did such a thing, now I can understand you."

The old man sighed deeply.

When Zhi Hanting was still alive, the relationship between the two brothers was very good.

The voices from the outside world will never be only positive, and most of them dismiss Zhi Hanke as an outsider.

Originally, there were many voices belittling him from the outside world, and these voices reached their peak after Zhi Hanting's death.

Especially when he first took over Zhiyi, those difficult company veterans were even more excessive.

Under such circumstances, in order to feel proud, Zhi Hanke would never allow himself to fail. He urgently needed a victory to prove his ability and establish his status in the Zhi family.

It was also amidst these constant doubts and flattery that he gradually lost his true heart.

"As your father, I failed to notice your changes in time. It was my negligence. If I could pay more attention to you at that time, maybe you would not be like this."

At that time, all of Zhi Yuanhong's thoughts were on Zhi Huai.

The misfortune of his childhood led to his violence when he grew up.

In order for Zhi Huai to return to normal, Zhi Yuanhong took her to Huading Temple for a long time.

It was also because of his prejudice against Zhi Huai that Zhi Bo and Zhi Yuan who were also by his side felt aggrieved.

"I know you are disappointed in me. It is entirely my own responsibility that I have come to this point, and it has nothing to do with you."

Zhi Hanke spread out the book in his hand, and the pages that had turned yellow showed that the book was quite old.

There are three words written on the cover of the book, the words of a gentleman.

"This is the first book you gave me. The first sentence reads, A gentleman can't measure up, and his chest swallows hundreds of rivers."

It was because he was too concerned about the sounds from the outside world that he gradually lost himself.

"I also remember the first time I saw you, such a small child with timid eyes."

He is obviously about the same age as Zhi Hanting, but he has a different temperament.

It was also because of this that the old man felt pity.

"Please apologize to Ah Huai and Ye Fei for me."

The old man got up and stopped after walking down the steps.

After a few minutes, he continued walking as if he had made up his mind.

Zheng Bo supported the old man and slowly walked out the door.

The door of Qinghe Courtyard was closed, and Zhi Hanke reached out and put the remaining chestnuts on the plate into his mouth one by one.

On the way back to Bitanju, the old man stopped by the lake. Looking at the scene in front of him, Zheng Bo knew what the old man was thinking.

He looked at the reflective lake surface under the lights on both sides, and the old man suddenly appeared in front of the old picture.

Accompanied by two half-grown boys, they will go boating to pick lotus pods when the lotus blooms in the lake in midsummer.

The two would quarrel from time to time, overturned the boat during the noise, and fell into the lake covered in mud.

Then we sat by the lake to peel lotus seeds and bask in the sun.

When Noisy passed by him, he would stuff a handful of peeled lotus seeds into his hand.

Today, times have changed.

After winter, there are only withered lotus leaves and root stalks left in the lake.

Looking around, it is no longer the noise of the past, only a bleakness remains.
