After writing her letter of rejection, she swallowed half a bottle of sleeping pills, lay on the bed, and fell asleep quietly...
Mother and daughter were connected. The child who was less than one year old sensed something and kept crying. Zheng Fenlan sent a message to her trusted friend in advance. When the friend arrived, she found that there was no response no matter how she called her.
The friend tentatively put his finger on her nose. Her breath was gone, and only a letter was left on the table.
Zheng Fenlan was sent to the hospital to no avail, so her friend handed the letter to Zhou Run. There were a few wrinkles on the paper, and it was easy to imagine that she had shed tears on it.
When the heartache is too much, it is impossible to shed tears. Zhou Run held his whole body against the wall and unbelievingly peeled off the white cloth on her face. No matter how much he shouted, it was of no avail.
"Ferner, look at me!"
Zhou Run was so sad that he fainted. Zheng Fenlan's friend with red eyes persuaded him, "You should cheer up. The top priority now is to get the child back from the Zheng family."
Zheng's mother had been ill for more than half a month because of Zheng Fenlan's death. When the servant went to clean up Zheng Fenlan's room, she saw a bottle of medicine for depression left in the corner.
Only then did Zheng's mother regret what she had done. If she had been more tolerant, wouldn't Zheng Fenlan have chosen to commit suicide and leave this world...
Zhou Run kept going to court to appeal and litigate to get the child back. The lawyer cited that he did not provide financial help or companionship to Zheng Fenlan during her pregnancy.
Very wisely, the child was awarded to the Zheng family.
Zhou Run knelt in front of Zheng's mother and said humbly, "You stopped me and Fen'er back then. Now, please consider that the child has no mother and let her have father's love!"
Mother Zheng burst into tears, took a step back and said, "You can come over to see your child anytime you are free."
Zheng Fenlan's death also had a great impact on Zhang Hongming. His character itself was relatively dark, and this time he vented all his grievances on his children.
No matter how many people tried to persuade him, he persisted in saying, "Fern'er suffers from postpartum depression, so she blames Zhou Run and his child!"
Zhou Run named the child Zhou Chiyue. He was so pitiful on the pond and by the bridge.
Zheng Fenlan once joked with him and said, "Zhou Run, can you pluck the moon from the sky and give it to me?"
He shook the crib and shed tears, "Ferner, I have already taken off your moon for you."
In order to give Zhou Chiyue a better life, Zhou Run spent most of his time on tour. Zheng's mother did not give up on her work, and the children were taken care of by a special nanny.
The nanny was carefully selected by Mother Zheng and she had 10,000% trust. Everything was fine until Mother Zheng needed to go on a business trip for a week.
The nanny reported the child's condition to her normally, but when she rushed home, she found that the child and the nanny had disappeared completely.
Zhou Run went abroad for more than half a year. When he heard that his child was missing, he hurriedly returned to the country before the time was up. Zheng's mother used all her connections and financial resources but could not find Zhou Chiyue.
More than ten years passed by, and Zheng's mother sadly passed away, leaving only Zhou Run to continue looking for Zhou Chiyue.
For more than ten years, he was young and promising. Many people recommended women to Zhou Run, and many recommended themselves as pillows.
But he still couldn't forget Zheng Fenlan and thought that the others were just making do.
Zhou Run got the hospital's test certificate and he was 100% sure that Lin Zi was Zhou Chiyue.
He couldn't wait to open the door and prepare to go to Lin Zi to tell her the truth of the matter. The car behind him always seemed to follow him, as if it deliberately wanted him to find out, and followed him aloofly...
When he drove to Linda, the owner of the car behind him opened the car door and walked out without any hurry.
Qi Yang stood in front of him and said, "Uncle, I want to talk to you."
Zhou Run's face was full of impatience. He didn't know Qi Yang, so he didn't know what he wanted to talk about.
Qi Yang slowly added, "Lin Zi is my girlfriend now. If you tell her that you are her biological father, it will not bring her a surprise. It will only put pressure and sadness on her."
Zhou Run froze. He had indeed heard Lin Zi talk about her boyfriend, and his surname was Qi.
The two walked to a nearby teahouse. Zhou Run calmed down and felt that what Qi Yang said did make sense. He spent too little time with Lin Zi and telling her hastily would only cause more harm to her.
Zhou Run thought that he could only let Lin Zi feel his father's love bit by bit...
Qi Yang poured him tea. Zhou Run was quite satisfied with his future son-in-law. He observed him calmly, asking several questions like he was checking his household registration.
"How did you catch Lin Zi?"
"How many people do you have in your family? What do they do?"
"Do you have a car and a house? Do you want to have a future with her?"
"Can you bear the loneliness when Lin Zi goes abroad?"
Qi Yang's eyes were open and he answered one question after another in an orderly manner.
"Your daughter is very good, but she shamelessly caught up with her."
"We run a small business at home, and we have five people."
"I have a car and a house, and I think about her future all the time."
"Uncle, you can rest assured that I am a person who would rather be in need than in excess. If it were not for Lin Zi, I would not fall in love with anyone."
Zhou Run smiled with complete satisfaction. Qi Yang said goodbye and left not long after. Zhou Run went out and looked up at the blue sky.
He smiled and said, "Ferner, our daughter has found someone who loves her."
Lin Zi went out to go shopping by herself to relieve her boredom. She saw all kinds of strange-shaped rings on the street stalls, which looked very fancy.
She fell in love with a ring at a glance. The silver-white ring didn't have too many patterns on it, but it gave people a sense of calmness and self-power.
Lin Zi thought it matched Qi Yang's temperament very well, so he bought it.
It's not expensive, it only cost fifteen yuan.
In the evening, Qi Yang took her to dinner and took out the pink diamond necklace that he had prepared to give to her at an overseas auction.
One look at it and you'll know it's worth a lot.
Qi Yang put the pink diamond necklace on Lin Zi's neck. The pink diamonds on his head made his whole body beautiful and clean.
Lin Zi wanted to reciprocate the gift and found the ring she bought for fifteen yuan from her pocket. She touched the necklace around her neck and felt a little guilty. After all, the difference in value was not even a tiny bit.
Qi Yang noticed that her expression was very unnatural and asked with concern, "Are you feeling well? Or do you still not like what I gave you?"
Lin Zi shook her head. She put the ring in her palm and asked carefully, "Qi Yang, do you like it?"
Qi Yang held it in his palm and observed it carefully. Lin Zi's heartbeat was beating fast. She knew that he looked down on this cheap little thing.
Lin Zi stood up and went over to grab it, "Forget it if you don't like it, I'd better keep it for myself to play with!"
Qi Yang quickly put the ring on his ring finger, took her waist and held her on his lap. His voice was pleasant, "Baby, who told you that I don't like it anymore?"
