"It's pretty good." Zhou Man bit her lip, not daring to look into Zhao Lizi's eyes. Since she was young, she had never been good at lying. Every time she lied, she would never dare to look into her eyes.
"Xiaochun, you really haven't changed at all. For so many years, every time I tell a lie, you would not dare to look me in the eye." Zhao Lizi took a sip of the coffee. She felt a bit bitter, so she frowned slightly.
"Mom, I'm not lying." Zhou Manzhen raised her head, but her pure eyes were filled with confusion.
"I went to your hospital last night. I wanted to ask you about your blind date, but I also asked your colleagues about it. Your colleagues said that you don't live in the hospital these days." Zhao Lizi put down her coffee cup and let out a thump. Although the sound was very soft, it was still very clear.
"I... "I moved out with my colleagues to share the rent. I felt really uncomfortable living in the hospital, so she asked me to stay with her since she was closer to the hospital." "" Zhou Manzhen looked nervous. His fingers were fidgeting with the corners of his clothes as his lips trembled.
Zhao Lizi's eyes were very sharp. She smiled and said, "Really? Which of your colleagues? A man or a woman? "
Zhou Manzhu was unable to withstand such a question, so she could only choose to stay silent.
"Xiaochun, then tell me, did your blind date go smoothly last night at the coffee shop? I heard that someone calls you sister-in-law? Whose wife are you? How come I didn't know? " Looking at the silent Zhou Manzhen, Zhao Lizi's anger couldn't help but burn. She had taught Zhou Manzhu the best education since she was young, and now her precious daughter was lying to her. How could she not be scared?
Zhou Manzhen's face instantly turned white. She helplessly bit her lips and stuttered, unable to say a word.
The anger in Zhao Lizi's eyes deepened. Zhou Manzhu was her daughter. She knew her best. Whenever she lied and couldn't think of an explanation, she would frown and remain silent.
"You still won't tell?" Zhao Lizi was furious. She slammed her palm on the tea table, making a muffled sound.
The atmosphere around them began to turn heavy. Zhou Manzhen lowered her head, not knowing what to say. However, she still held on to one thing in her heart, and absolutely could not say it!
Zhou Manzhen casually smiled and said, "Mom, it's true. If you don't believe me, you can ask my colleagues."
"Is that so? "But I'm asking you now who's calling you sister-in-law." Zhao Lizi said with an ice-cold tone.
"Mom, I don't recognize that person. That person was randomly called that by others." Zhou Manzhen tried to deny it, but she really didn't know that person. Thus, the expression on her face was rather lifelike.
"Tell me, who the hell are you living with?!" Zhao Lizi's body was trembling. She couldn't take it anymore, and her whole face was filled with terrible anger.
This was the first time since Zhou Man had grown up that Zhao Lizi had become so angry with her.
"My colleague." Zhou Manzhen was adamant and vowed not to move.
"You ?? "You unfilial daughter, did you do something shameful in secret?!" Zhao Lizi couldn't control her anger. A hint of disdain even appeared on her face. This expression deeply hurt Zhou Manzhu's heart.
"I didn't."
"Whap." A loud and clear sound echoed throughout the entire office.
On the other hand, Zhao Lizi retracted her hand. Her hand was still trembling slightly. Her heart was in pain and she was disappointed in Zhou Manzhen.
She was already sad that she quarreled with Jin Beisheng last night, and now her mother was still misunderstanding her. Even if she really did something despicable, it was all for the sake of this family, what was wrong with her?
"Your appearance is truly despicable. Get out of here and reflect on it yourself. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. You better think carefully how you are going to explain it to me." Zhao Lizi's sixth sense was always accurate. Even though she had personally given her daughter a slap, her heart still ached.
Zhou Manzhen's eyes were filled with tears. Her eyes were trembling like a lamp that was about to be extinguished ?? A mist blocked her view, and she had never felt so wronged before.
Clutching her face, Zhou Manzhen almost ran out of the group.
The members of the Zhou Group looked at Zhou Manzhen's dazed expression and guessed in their hearts that Zhou Manzhen was in no mood to care about the opinions of others. She wanted to dig a hole and dig it out.
Tears flowing out of her eyes, Zhou Manzhen crazily ran on the sidewalk as the cars passing by honked their horns.
Zhou Manzhen almost hit a car. The driver stuck his head out the window with a sullen face and cursed, "You're crazy! You're courting death! Do you really want me to live?!"
She stared at the car with red eyes, but her tears kept falling, causing the driver to be stupefied.
Bitter tears dripped onto the corner of his mouth. A salty, sour feeling spread from his heart ??
Zhou Manzhu didn't know how long she stood there stupidly, but a powerful force suddenly pulled her over. She thought she was going to die, so she closed her eyes in despair.
When she opened her eyes, she fell into a warm embrace with the scent of cologne. The man above her was looking at her with a worried expression.
It was Shi Mingge!
Zhou Manzhen panicked even more. She wiped her tears away with her hand and lowered her head with a miserable expression, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Doctor Zhou, what a coincidence, we'll meet you here." Shi Mingge said with a warm smile.
Zhou Manjing was silent. She felt like she had no face to see anyone. After a long time, she softly said, "Thank you."
"Doctor Zhou, even if you don't want to cry, don't joke about your own life. Everyone only has one chance, you are a doctor, you should understand the value of life, how many people in the hospital hope that you can live healthy, what's the point of that?" Shi Mingge's refined face carried a serious expression as he spoke in a serious tone.
After hearing Shi Mingge's words, Zhou Manzhu felt somewhat ashamed, but she was truly sad.
"Sorry, I have to go back now." Zhou Manzhun stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes. After she steadied herself, she said to Shi Mingge.
"I'll send you off. Even I can't rest at ease with your appearance." Shi Mingge took the initiative to speak.
"No need, I can do it." Zhou Manjing shook her head. She didn't want to owe Shi Mingge a favor.
A hint of worry surfaced in Shi Mingge's eyes. His black pupils rolled as he asked, "Can you really do it?"
"Mm, okay." Zhou Manzhu collected her emotions and squeezed out a smile from the corner of her mouth with great difficulty.
Shi Mingge sighed in his heart and shook his head, "You're really stubborn."
Although he couldn't send Zhou back to the hospital, Shi Mingge escorted her all the way back until she safely entered the hospital.
