Jiang Zhimiao's ears were buzzing.

She didn't even know when Huang Juan left.

She only heard the door click and close, and then Jiang Yunyun knocked on her door tentatively and asked if she was awake.

At just the right moment, there were the sounds of the door lock turning.

Fortunately, before Jiang Zhimiao went to sleep today, she subconsciously locked the door out of habit, so Jiang Yunyun couldn't get in. After trying several times, she simply asked Jiang Zhimiao.

The best way now is to pretend to be asleep and then make an excuse by saying that you didn't hear it.

Jiang Zhimiao blinked his eyes and said with a choked voice , " Aunt Yun? What happened?"

As he spoke, there was the rustling sound of someone getting out of bed and opening the door.

Jiang Zhimiao slipped on her slippers and opened the door. Perhaps because she was woken up, her eyes were a little red and she looked a little listless.

She asked again , " What's wrong? Is it a leak?"

Jiang Zhimiao looked out along her shoulder.

Jiang Yunyun looked at Jiang Zhimiao who was sleeping soundly. He must have been woken up by her and definitely did not hear her conversation with Huang Juan.

She smiled, put her palm on Jiang Zhimiao's forehead, touched it lightly, and then left.

"Nothing. I was afraid you might have caught a cold, so I came to check on you. But you locked the door, so I got a little worried."

Jiang Zhimiao , " I'm just too tired. It's nothing serious. Don't worry."

It's almost three in the morning now.

Jiang Zhimiao yawned, rested his head on Jiang Yunyun's head, squinted his eyes, and felt drowsy. "I want to eat corn tortillas tomorrow. I just dreamed about it."

Jiang Yunyun's doubts about Jiang Zhimiao were dispelled. Seeing her acting coquettishly towards him, she no longer had any concerns and said indulgently , " Okay, I'll make it for you tomorrow morning. Do you want to bring some to your colleague?"

Jiang Zhimiao nodded.

Jiang Yunyun looked at her reproachfully, pushed Jiang Zhimiao onto the bed, and went to sleep.

Before leaving, she touched the mattress and found it was warm, so she guessed that she had just woken up from bed.

Jiang Yunyun's attitude towards Jiang Zhimiao became increasingly gentle, with a hint of guilt in it.

Jiang Zhimiao pretended not to see it.

Jiang Yunyun made the bedding and left. She closed the door and walked into her bedroom.

Hearing the sounds of two doors closing, Jiang Zhimiao slowly opened her eyes. Facing the empty and dark roof, she let out a long breath and covered her left atrium with her other hand. Her heart was beating happily and her back was soaked with cold sweat.

Jiang Zhimiao's lips were slightly pursed. She no longer felt sleepy at all. All she had was a huge amount of information that was difficult to digest.

This amount of information was like fists, hitting her head again and again, making her dizzy.

But no matter what Jiang Yunyun did wrong - she must have done it to protect her.

And she also has to protect Jiang Yunyun and prevent her from doing anything wrong.

At dawn, wisps of morning light spread from the clouds. The sound of wind passed through the window and blew throughout the room. After a while, Jiang Zhimiao heard the sound of boiling water and making corn tortillas in the kitchen. She stayed in bed for a while and then got up.

Jiang Zhimiao didn’t sleep all night yesterday and looked at himself in the mirror.

The whites of his eyes were covered with red bloodshot, which looked quite scary.

She pulled the corners of her lips, but found that she couldn't force a smile, so she turned and left the bathroom to look for eye drops in the bedroom.

After applying the eye drops, Jiang Zhimiao felt much more relaxed.

Jiang Zhimiao walked out of the room and saw Jiang Yunyun packing food for her, and the corn tortillas were also stuffed into the thermal box.

Jiang Yunyun pointed to the pancakes on the table, "You eat first, I'll put your colleague's portion in the thermos box for you. Then you can see if Mr. Shen eats it, and give it to him when the time comes. One serving.”

Jiang Zhimiao , " Mr. Shen may not like it."

Jiang Yunyun didn't take it seriously, "He is who he is, and we have to show our attitude."

Jiang Zhimiao pursed her lips. She looked at her vibrating phone and turned off the screen. "What's your attitude?"

"If he is interested in you, of course you have to express that you are interested in him." Jiang Yunyun said , " Otherwise, if people look at you with a cold face and lose all interest in you, how can you marry him?"

These words are usually harsh, but today they became particularly harsh.

Jiang Zhimiao tried to hold back, but found that she couldn't hold back any longer, so she asked , " Why should I marry him? Doesn't my mother's story mean anything?"

Jiang You'er married Xu Chun, who was known to have great prospects at the time, but was beaten half to death.

Moreover, in the end - Jiang Youer still thought that this was a manifestation of Xu Chun's love for her.

They called the police and contacted the Women's Committee, but Jiang You'er turned them away and told them to mind their own business.

Jiang Zhimiao's original name was not Jiang Zhimiao, but Xu Zhimiao.

The name was also changed after they had a car accident because she didn't want to follow the man's surname.

Jiang Yunyun couldn't persuade her, so she helped her change it.

The words hit the ground heavily, splashing up a silent and invisible cloud of dust.

The living room suddenly became quiet.

Jiang Yunyun's lips moved , " Did you hear it yesterday?"

Jiang Zhimiao raised his head, mostly with impatience on his face, and a bit of confusion in his eyes, "What did you hear?"

She paused and took a deep breath , " Aunt Yun, I don't mean to be mean to you, but you know, my parents' marriage is already very unfortunate, and I don't want to rashly step into this grave of marriage again."

Jiang Zhimiao would not hide anything from Jiang Yunyun and would tell her directly everything.

Moreover, the expression on Jiang Zhimiao's face now does not seem fake.

After a long silence, Jiang Yunyun said , " Zhizhi, I know it's not easy for you. I'm just too worried about you being alone."

Jiang Zhimiao stepped forward and helped Jiang Yunyun sit down.

She softened her voice and coaxed him soothingly, "It has nothing to do with you. The main reason is that I am actually quite scared. I am afraid of getting married and marrying a man like my father again."

When she mentioned this, a hint of fear appeared on her face.

Now, Jiang Yunyun didn't care about anything else and pulled Jiang Zhimiao to comfort him.

Xu Chun not only beat Jiang Youer, he also beat Jiang Yunyun and Jiang Zhimiao.

It can be said that he beat everyone in the family.

Therefore, Jiang Yunyun understood Jiang Zhimiao's fear. She lowered her eyes and said, "Then let's take a look."

Jiang Zhimiao curled his eyes, "Okay, but Aunt Yun, you just asked me what I heard, are you hiding something from me?"

There was a long period of dead silence.

The moment she met Jiang Zhimiao's gaze, she suddenly came to her senses and stammered , " No, I hid something from you, nothing."

Looking at Jiang Yunyun like this, Jiang Zhimiao could only sigh and say nothing.

Before going to work, Jiang Zhimiao still brought a lunch box. After she shared the corn tortillas with Song Rou, she went to the HR department to cancel her leave.

Song Rou waited for her to come back and told her the gossip in the company these days.

Actually, it's not a big deal. From what I heard, it's just that someone slept with whom in the company, and the man is married, or there's a new person in the department, and it sounds like the person has a very strong background.

In addition, news about Jiang Zhimiao's handling of the East Coast project was also leaked, and now no one thinks that she is just a pretty face.

Jiang Zhimiao never cared about such rumors. She sorted out documents while listening to Song Rou.

She hasn't come to work recently because she has a lot of things to do.

After sorting out the documents, Jiang Zhimiao stood up and went to take them to the office.

Song Rou held her back, "Mr. Shen didn't come today, and Assistant Tang didn't come either, so you don't have to work anymore."

Jiang Zhimiao , " Not coming?"

Song Rou pursed her lips, "Look at the office."

Jiang Zhimiao raised his head and glanced at the office. There was really no one there.

After standing for a while, Jiang Zhimiao was about to sit down.

A male colleague squeezed through the aisle between her and Song Rou and sneered , " Don't expect Mr. Shen to come. He checked into a room with someone yesterday. Didn't you know?"
