Chapter 731 There are many ways
When Zhou Mingchen saw Qi Yu, he didn't feel anything, but he felt that this woman was completely different from the image of mother he had imagined.
She looked as if, except for her breathing and her eyes and the overlap in his memory, everything else about her was unfamiliar to him.
Qi Yu saw him, opened her eyes, and kept staring at him. There seemed to be unknown emotions in her eyes, surging and fluctuating.
Zhou Mingchen's eyes were slightly moist, and he just looked at her without saying a word.
After staying for about half an hour, Zhou Mingchen said, "You know everything, Mingxin and I have done our best. As for Minglan, father didn't tell you, right?"
Qi Yu's tears fell, and Zhou Mingchen took a deep breath, "You know I won't say any more."
He no longer needed his mother. He stood up, looked at her deeply, and left the Huo family.
Zhou Mingchen's arrival made Huo Tingyu nervous, and she wished she could monitor him the whole time.
But Zhou Mingchen didn't say anything to Qi Yu, not even any physical contact.
She hid in the monitoring room, deep in thought.
Zhou Mingchen returned to the hotel and met Qiao Na again. He walked around her, but Qiao Na apologized to him, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have helped Tingyu to persuade you before. I regret what I said to you."
Zhou Mingchen didn't look back. "I didn't go to the Huo family because you persuaded me. I didn't cooperate with the Huo family as you imagined."
"I just think you should go meet your mother, not just to help Tingyu."
"It doesn't matter anymore."
Qiao Na felt very uncomfortable and bent down 90 degrees. "Please forgive me, Mr. Zhou. You helped me in Jiangcheng, but I didn't do anything for you. I'm really unable to help you with Tingyu's matter. If Mr. Zhou can ask me to serve you in the future, I will do my best."
"No need."
Zhou Mingchen wanted to stay for one night and then return home as he had to rush to send Xu Yi to the competition.
The door closed and Jonah stood outside for a while.
A group of bodyguards followed her and escorted her away. Just as she reached the hotel entrance, a woman rushed in hurriedly.
The bodyguard stopped Zhou Minglan, and Zhou Minglan rushed over alone to hit Qiao Na.
"Bitch, bitch!"
Zhou Minglan roared at Qiao Na's back, "My brother will not have any result with you, do you want to die, do you want to die?"
Qiao Na had met Zhou Minglan before, and she didn't have a very good impression of her, and she didn't want to talk much to her.
Looks like she's a brother-con.
Zhou Minglan's eyes were red and she scolded Qiao Na excitedly. Qiao Na had to have someone stop her and turned away.
She was so high up that she didn't even give her a glance.
Zhou Mingchen admitted his relationship with Qiao Na, but Zhou Minglan didn't believe it. But if they really had nothing to do with each other, how did she happen to see them?
Zhou Minglan couldn't hold back her excitement and knocked on Zhou Mingchen's door frantically, "Brother, come out, brother!"
After Zhou Mingchen entered the house, he drank two glasses of wine to calm himself down. When he went to open the door, Zhou Minglan rushed over to him, "Brother... I miss you so much, brother..."
Zhou Mingchen pushed her away forcefully, "Minglan, why are you here?"
"As expected, I am no longer a member of the Zhou family. Your attitude towards me has changed. At first it was Zhou Mingxin, and now it is you... You all treat me as an outsider, right?"
Zhou Mingchen understood that she had made up her mind and no explanation would be of any use.
Silence means consent. Zhou Minglan laughed, "In that case, I have something to tell you. Listen carefully."
Zhou Mingchen breathed in the smell of alcohol and nodded, "Go ahead."
"Since we are no longer brother and sister, I might as well tell you that I like you. You are not allowed to be with other women, no matter who they are, whether it's the dead Xia Wenyue, or anyone else, Qiao Na, I don't care who he is!"
Snapped!
Zhou Mingchen raised his hand and slapped Zhou Minglan, "What are you talking about?"
Zhou Minglan covered her face and didn't cry. "Didn't you tell me to be bolder and take the initiative when I like something? Now that I'm taking the initiative, won't you give me some encouragement?"
"you……"
Zhou Mingchen was about to speak but stopped. Zhou Minglan gritted her teeth and continued, "I just like you. I'm telling you the truth. I've known since I was a child that I'm not from the Zhou family. I've been growing up in fear. I'm not a fool. I've noticed that everyone ignores me... I'm afraid I'll lose it all at any time."
She was in tears. "You know how that feels? Sometimes I hate Zhou Yuancheng so much. He was the one who brought me to the Zhou family. I thought that you, Zhou Mingxin, and I were no different. But when I found out that we were different, I hated him so much. I hated everyone... I seemed so out of place."
So since she was a child, she has liked to attract the attention of adults.
I always want to attract more attention from adults.
"In essence, Xu Yi went missing and suffered a lot. In fact, before that, I was the one who suffered. I had been suffering silently until Zhou Yuancheng died and Qi Yu went missing. Only then did I feel relieved. In this way, the secret could be buried. But I didn't expect that you all knew about it. You, Xu Yi, you all knew about it... I was the only one who was a fool."
Zhou Minglan laughed, very excited, "Finally, it's all right, the truth is out. I am not a member of the Zhou family, I don't care, I can like you openly!"
Snapped!
Zhou Mingchen slapped him again.
"You can hit me, you can scold me, you can say I am shameless, you can say anything about me, I am willing to risk it all, if Xu Yi hadn't drugged Song Yanming, she wouldn't be in this situation today, they can do it, why should we..."
Snapped!
Zhou Mingchen slapped her again without hesitation.
After a few slaps, Zhou Minglan's face was swollen. "I let someone abuse Xia Wenyue. I thought you would like me, but I didn't expect you would rather be single. You wouldn't even look at me. What am I to you? You know I'm not your sister."
Even though I know she is not like that, I still treat her as my sister and as a family member.
"Zhou Minglan, you should take care of yourself. The Zhou family is no longer your shelter, and neither am I. The Zhou family has protected you for so many years, and you should go out and have a look, try your luck, and think about what you really want."
After saying that, Zhou Mingchen pushed her to the door and closed it. Zhou Minglan knocked on the door, "Zhou Mingchen, do you want to chase me away? Do you want to hide from me? Forget it!"
"Don't even think about being with that foreign woman. I've already taken care of Xia Wenyue. I have plenty of ways!"
Zhou Mingchen was not surprised that Zhou Minglan kicked the door.
He guessed it and felt it.
When Xu Yi proposed this hypothesis, he didn't believe it and thought it was ridiculous. After all, he was slapping himself in the face and it really hurt.
