Chapter 255: The truth is often crueler than reality
Zhou Cishen said: "Answer me first."
Ruan Xingwan frowned and said after a few seconds: "When Ruan Jun died, something was found in the box under his bed."
"There's something there."
"A few photos, a pocket watch, and Ruan Jun's diary."
"What kind of pocket watch."
Ruan Xingwan said: "It's just an ordinary pocket watch. Is there any difference?"
Zhou Cishen said: "Of course there is a difference. The manufacturer and production batch number are both useful clues."
After hearing this, Ruan Xingwan opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
Zhou Ci stared at her for a few seconds, then pursed his thin lips and said, "Don't you want to find her?"
After a while, Ruan Xingwan lowered his head and said, "I just think it's meaningless."
"Ruan Xingwan, this is not a matter of meaning, but you should understand the truth of the past."
"What's the use of knowing the truth? I just want to live a peaceful life."
Ever since he could remember, Ruan Xingwan's biggest wish has been this.
In the past, because of Ruan Jun, the whole family was in a mess. From time to time, creditors would come to the door and yell and curse outside. She could only lock the door tightly, hug Xiaochen tightly, and did not dare to make a sound.
come out.
Later, she met Zhou Cishen, and her already messy life became even worse.
That man was a stranger to her and had no memory. Instead of trying to figure out why her mother took her to marry Ruan Jun more than twenty years ago, it would be better to live peacefully for two days.
.
Zhou Cishen said: "This is not an excuse for you to escape. Although sometimes the truth is often crueler than reality, I will always be by your side."
Ruan Xingwan was slightly startled, did this bitch want the conversation to change so drastically?
Zhou Cishen continued: "Even if you don't care what the truth is, now it has been implicated in a series of things. How can the people involved in it be immune to themselves?"
"I don't understand what Mr. Zhou means."
"Lin Zhiyuan, did you see him today?"
Ruan Xingwan didn't know why he suddenly mentioned Lin Zhiyi's father. He paused and said, "I saw him."
Zhou Cishen said: "Have you ever thought about why your brother has posted a missing person notice for so long, but there is no news at all?"
Ruan Xingwan frowned, even more confused.
When Ruan Chen wanted to do this before, she never thought there would be any news.
But when Zhou Cishen mentioned it now, it seemed that the whole thing was a bit weird.
After thinking about it, she asked instead: "Mr. Zhou hasn't told me yet, how do you know about it?"
Zhou Cishen tapped his knees lightly with his long fingers: "Didn't I tell you that there is nothing in this world that cannot be done with money?"
"Then I have nothing to say to Mr. Zhou, so I won't give it away."
As soon as Ruan Xingwan stood up, Zhou Cishen took her hand and laughed: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I found out when I was investigating Lin Zhiyuan."
Seeing the confusion on Ruan Xingwan's face, Zhou Cishen added: "The truth of the matter may not mean much to you, but you must know what happened in the past in order to be prepared for the unknown."
"...Can Mr. Zhou speak human language?"
She now wants to know what Lin Zhiyuan has to do with this matter.
Zhou Cishen said: "I don't know the reason why Lin Zhiyuan did this, but one thing is certain. He knows the man in the photo, who is your biological father, and he has been preventing the spread of the news and does not want to let the news spread.
You find people.”
Hearing this, Ruan Xingwan frowned tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
She didn't have a deep impression of Lin Zhiyi's father, but he seemed to be a gentle and calm person. Ruan Xingwan really couldn't associate him with the matter related to her biological father.
Zhou Cishen said: "You don't have to think about anything else. I'm just telling you this to prepare you in your mind so as not to jump directly into someone else's trap."
Hearing what he said, Ruan Xingwan was unhappy: "When did I jump into someone else's trap?"
"Do you know what's going on tonight? Are you going to follow Cheng Wei?"
"Then there's nothing wrong with me. Besides, even if I didn't go with Cheng Wei, Mr. Zhou would still let me accompany you. Is there any difference?"
Zhou Cishen said: "Of course."
Ruan Xingwan sneered: "Where?"
Zhou Cishen suddenly laughed: "Ruan Xingwan, do you know why Lin Zhiyuan is only preventing you from finding your biological father and not taking action against you?"
"I……"
"That's because he knows I'm behind you and he doesn't dare to touch you."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
Since when did this dog man become her backer?
Without waiting for her answer, Zhou Cishen continued: "Use your mind and think about why Lin Zhiyuan never thought about letting Lin Zhiyi marry Zhou Junnian in the past many years, but during this period,
He suddenly proposed marriage to the Zhou family.
Guess what he is afraid of?"
Ruan Xingwan didn't understand what happened just now. She didn't know why he changed the topic to Lin Zhiyi and Zhou Junnian's engagement. She was silent before saying, "Maybe I can't stand you."
Zhou Cishen: "..."
He said: "I'm telling you something serious."
"Then tell me directly, why are you going around in such a big circle?"
He also asked her to guess how she could guess it.
Zhou Cishen pursed his thin lips, and then said: "I will tell you a more accurate time. He proposed marriage to the Zhou family after your brother posted a missing person notice."
"You mean, this matter has something to do with me?"
"Or should I say, your appearance made him feel scared."
As for why he is afraid, only Lin Zhiyuan himself knows what he has done.
Ruan Xingwan's heart slowly sank little by little. She now knew exactly what Zhou Cishen meant.
Not only did Lin Zhiyuan know her biological father, but something had probably happened between them, which caused Lin Zhiyuan to think of a certain past event after seeing Xiao Chen go looking for someone with a photo.
It wasn't her that he was afraid of, but her biological father, or rather, the truth from twenty years ago.
That's why he extended an olive branch to the Zhou family and completely tied the Lin family and Zhou family together.
Zhou Cishen's eyes fell on the hand holding hers, and he rubbed it gently: "Are you still not interested in the truth now?"
Ruan Xingwan slowly recovered her thoughts, looked down at him, and then quickly pulled out her hand: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for telling me this. I'm interested now, very interested. I can't wait to rush to Lin Zhiyi's house directly.
Ask her what crazy things her father did back then."
