Chapter 829 I Don’t Want to Be Friends with You Anymore
In Country Y, after Zhou Mingchen sent Zhou Minglan to prison, he never visited her once.
Owen had been there a few times, and every time he came back he seemed to be worried. Zhou Mingchen had never asked before, so he didn't know what Owen had said to Zhou Minglan.
After Irving came back yesterday, he has been lifeless until today.
Out of curiosity, Zhou Mingchen asked, "Why are you so sick? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"No."
Owen realized that he was too depressed. He shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
"Don't put on a dead face if there's nothing wrong. It'll affect your work."
"Is it obvious?"
Zhou Mingchen was about to laugh or not, "What do you think?"
Owen lowered his head, "Mr. Zhou, I feel that Miss Minglan is serious about you."
"what are you saying?"
"Miss Minglan likes you very much. She said that even if the Zhou family is in danger, she still wants to go forward and retreat with you. She doesn't care whether you are poor or rich. She also asked you to wait for her."
Owen said this with a serious look on his face, "If the chairman hadn't brought her to the Zhou family, she and you might not have to stick to the brother-sister relationship and could be together openly."
Zhou Mingchen's expression was complicated. "Have you been brainwashed by her?"
"No, I just..."
"You have been brainwashed by her. Go away."
Owen stared at Zhou Mingchen blankly, "She won't lie to me in this situation now."
"Anyone who lies to you will always lie to you. Do I understand her or do you understand her?"
After saying so much, Zhou Minglan was probably just trying to use Owen to whisper in his ears, hoping to make him soften his heart and save her from the predicament.
And Owen was so foolish that he was being used by Zhou Minglan without realizing it.
Zhou Mingchen was almost certain about it, but he would not do it again.
Mingxin has ignored him for a long time now. If she knew that he still released Zhou Minglan, she would probably hate him for the rest of her life.
She is pregnant now and he doesn't want to provoke her.
He also didn't want to be looked down upon by someone in the Song family because of this.
Seeing that Zhou Mingchen was unmoved, Owen nodded and said, "Okay."
"and many more……"
Owen stopped and Zhou Mingchen said, "Next time you go to see her, if you are in a bad mood, you can just not come to the company and don't have to be her messenger."
Owen was stunned, then nodded and left.
Zhou Mingchen worked until very late, and when he got off work, he met Qiao Na at the door.
During this period of time, Joanna came every day. People in the company talked about it and always said that she was his follower. Despite this, she didn't care about the rumors from the outside world.
It was raining outside, and pedestrians coming and going were running in the rain. Some were holding briefcases and handbags to shield their heads from the heavy rain, and some were disappearing in a hurry at the end of the street.
Zhou Mingchen had just opened an umbrella when Qiao Na stood not far from him, looking at him with a smile on her face.
"Where are you going? Are you going to go home directly, or come with me to the restaurant for dinner?"
Joanna always dresses very exquisitely, even in the rain, sheltered by an umbrella, she is wearing a beautiful dress and has fair skin, and her eyes looking at him are like the starry sky and the Milky Way.
Zhou Mingchen looked coldly, "How many times do I have to reject you before you give up?"
"Have you ever thought that maybe if you agree to have dinner with me and get closer to me, I will naturally no longer be interested in you."
What this means is that if you want to avoid her entanglement, the best way is to accept her temporarily.
Zhou Mingchen didn't believe it, so the driver came and passed by Qiao Na right beside him, holding an umbrella.
"I can help you, Mr. Zhou."
Joanna said to his back, "Are you willing to believe me?"
The bodyguard opened the car door, and Zhou Mingchen looked back at her, "What can I do for you?"
"If the Huo family tries to embarrass you again, I can ask my father to help you."
The Qiao Na family and the Huo family are old friends, unless he is crazy.
Zhou Mingchen just glanced at her and got into the car.
It was a cold rain, and Joanna stood in it for a long time.
When she turned around, she saw Huo Tingyu standing not far away with an umbrella.
Joanna was distracted for a moment and thought she had seen it wrong. She looked again and again, frowning slightly, "You..."
Huo Tingyu stood in the rain with a serious face, "It's useless for you to try to please him like this. Zhou Mingchen won't appreciate it. You've wasted quite a while here. Come back with me."
Qiao Na stood still, "I know my own business."
"What do you know? You came here and took the initiative to help him, but he didn't take you seriously at all. And Jonah, if my father and your father knew about this, you know what the consequences would be. I thought Jerry's incident was enough for you to understand a lot of things, but you are still like this..."
Huo Tingyu said word by word, "You disappoint me."
Qiao Na looked at Huo Tingyu, "His pain was caused by the Huo family. At first I thought you were innocent, but now I find out that you are also the murderer. You disappoint me, but in your opinion, your mistakes are also right. You don't even realize your mistakes."
After saying that, Qiao Na turned around and was about to leave, and Huo Tingyu followed her anxiously.
She took off her exquisite dress and wore a suit for most of the time, put her hair up high, caught up with Jonah, and stood in front of her.
The rain splashed from her running and landed on Jonah's skirt.
Jonah brushed the rain off her skirt.
Huo Tingyu took a deep breath and said, "You know very well that everything I did was for protection."
"Everything you did was to preserve the family's reputation, but he lost everything. It was all because of your father's selfishness. If you can sacrifice your own family for the sake of justice, I can still be friends with you."
Huo Tingyu was furious. "What do you mean? Are you accusing me as a bystander?"
She subconsciously grabbed Qiao Na's collar and said, "You know it's hard for me to do this, but you still say this to me. You are my best friend."
Qiao Na's bodyguard came forward and pulled Huo Tingyu away.
Huo Tingyu's bodyguards also came up immediately, and a standoff broke out between the two sides.
In the end, only Qiao Na and Huo Tingyu were left looking at each other.
"Don't worry about my affairs from now on. What happens between me and the Zhou family, or Mr. Zhou, has nothing to do with you. I will not ask about the Huo family's affairs. For your father, you can even ignore your own mother. I am very disappointed in you. Compared with Jerry and I breaking off the engagement, your actions make me feel that I have misjudged you."
Huo Tingyu shook his head, "That's not the case."
"Your mother is dead. Nothing you do can undo this. You have never thought about making amends. Instead, you have reached out your knife to your half-brother and half-sister."
Qiao Na became angrier and angrier. "I don't want to be friends with you anymore."
