After hearing all this, Ruan Xingwan was stunned for a few seconds before saying: "This matter should be quite secretive, and it has been so many years. No one should be in advance. How did Mr. William... know about it?"
Just when she asked this question, the waiter brought drinks.
William smiled lightly and did not answer, but picked up the coffee and took a sip.
Zhou Cishen said calmly: "Mr. William used to be from Nancheng."
This sentence reminded Ruan Xingwan.
This matter happened more than 20 years ago, and William probably knew about it at that time.
It's just that even twenty years ago, it was impossible to publicize this matter to the outside world. The only people who could know about it were people related to it, or people who might know it.
What kind of thing is William?
But at least, what is certain is that William knew such details, and his identity at that time was definitely not simple.
Just when Ruan Xingwan was lost in thought, Zhou Cishen's voice sounded again: "But I'm also curious about how Mr. William knows so many details."
William put down the coffee cup and said slowly: "Because my wife and Mrs. Zhao are also friends, and I accidentally learned about her fake pregnancy.
The rest was just a casual guess after I heard someone mention it later."
Zhou Cishen said: "I didn't expect that Mr. William's guess was quite accurate."
"I can only say that I'm pretty lucky."
Hearing what they said to each other, Ruan Xingwan was a little confused: "Then...since Zhao Qianqian's biological mother has been away for so long, why did she suddenly come back?
And for choosing a day like today, she shouldn't be stupid, knowing how much impact her appearance will have on Zhao Qianqian."
William looked into the distance, his expression showing no emotion: "Maybe it's just a coincidence."
Zhou Cishen said slowly and calmly: "Mr. William is right. If she hadn't plotted against you, she might never have had the chance to know that her biological mother was someone else. Maybe there wouldn't be such a coincidence."
Ruan Xingwan felt that he was even more confused after hearing this. Is this how the coincidence was originally explained?
"Then Zhao Qianqian's father and biological mother..."
"He is not innocent. If he had not allowed Zhao Qianqian to do those things, there would not have been such retribution.
As for her biological mother, why do you think she suddenly appeared after disappearing for so many years?"
Zhou Cishen said, picking up the cold drink in front of her and taking a sip, speaking slowly: "He is not the only one who has a daughter. Am I right, Mr. William?"
Ruan Xingwan didn't pay attention to what he said at the end, but looked at the cold drink in his hand: "Don't you have some? Why are you drinking mine?"
"Yours is sweeter."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
William: "..."
William raised his hand and pressed his temples, directly ignoring Zhou Cishen's question: "It's getting late, I have something else to do."
After a pause, he said again: "I'll take Miss Ruan back."
Ruan Xingwan probably didn't expect him to say that. She was startled before shaking her head: "No, Zhou Cishen will give it to me."
William nodded slightly: "Then I'll take my leave first."
After William left, Ruan Xingwan withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhou Cishen without saying a word.
Zhou Cishen met her gaze, his dark eyes darkened a bit.
After a few seconds, he suddenly came closer.
Ruan Xingwan stepped back a little: "What are you doing?"
Zhou Cishen leaned back in his seat and calmly said, "Didn't you say that when a couple looks at each other, they can't help but kiss each other?"
Hearing this, Ruan Xingwan's entire face turned red visibly, he lowered his head and bit the straw, and said vaguely: "I just read what was said on the Internet."
"Really? I think it makes sense."
Ruan Xingwan didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he changed the subject directly: "What do you mean by what you and William said?"
Zhou Cishen raised his eyebrows: "What?"
"I always feel that there is something behind your words, but I don't quite understand it."
The corners of Zhou Cishen's lips curled up: "It's okay if you don't understand. It won't do any good for you to know these things."
Ruan Xingwan curled his lips and said, "But there is a point I understand."
"Um?"
"You said Zhao Qianqian's mother suddenly appeared after disappearing for so many years. Was she found by someone, for money or something else?"
Zhou Cishen said slowly: "I don't know much anymore."
Ruan Xingwan said: "Then you pick the one who knows."
Zhou Cishen said: "Don't go back tonight?"
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
She turned her head and said, "I don't want to talk about it, but I don't really want to know."
Zhou Cishen continued: "Lin Zhiyuan is not in the country these days. Even if you don't go back, there will be no problem."
"How did you..."
Ruan Xingwan originally wanted to say how he knew, but halfway through, he felt that it was unnecessary. He was always staring at Lin Zhiyuan, so he must have known it for a long time.
After thinking for a while, she added: "Then do you know what Lin Zhiyuan did when he went abroad?"
Zhou Cishen said: "The answer to this question is the same as the one just now."
Ruan Xingwan looked at him with a hint of dissatisfaction and disgust.
After a long while, she hesitated and said, "I didn't bring any clothes or toiletries."
Zhou Cishen asked: "Is this also your reason?"
Ruan Xingwan pursed her lips and had only one request: "Don't go to Xinghu Mansion."
Lin Zhiyuan was not here, so Lin Zhiyi set up a trap for her to jump, and she didn't really want to go back.
Zhou Cishen answered almost without hesitation: "Okay."
On the way, Ruan Xingwan couldn't help but ask again: "Can you tell me now?"
Zhou Cishen said calmly: "What's the rush? We have all night tonight, we can talk slowly."
Ruan Xingwan always felt that when he said the words "talk slowly", he could pause for a moment and have a clear meaning.
Haha, you are a dog man with ulterior motives.
Not long after, the black Rolls-Royce stopped in the basement of the community.
After going upstairs, Zhou Cishen poured her a glass of water and gave her a set of his own clothes from the bedroom: "Wear this first, and I'll have someone deliver the clothes tomorrow."
Ruan Xingwan nodded, took the clothes and entered the bathroom.
Even though Zhou Cishen rarely lives here, everything is very complete.
After Ruan Xingwan finished washing, he found a hair dryer to dry his hair. He looked at the bathroom again and prepared to buy some things he needed when he came back tomorrow.
Lin Zhiyuan didn't know how many days she would be away. If nothing unexpected happened, she would stay here for the next few days.
When Ruan Xingwan went out, Zhou Cishen was standing in front of the French window making a phone call. Ruan Xingwan vaguely heard something that seemed to be related to the demolition of Anqiao Long Street.
She sat cross-legged on the sofa, took out her mobile phone, and sent a message to Pei Shanshan, briefly talking about today's situation.
After she finished sending it, she hugged her knees again, blinked and looked at Zhou Cishen's back.
