Rebirth of the Superpower Queen

Chapter 213 The so-called love at first sight

"It's better to keep it a secret as long as possible than to tell him now!" Xu Ziyi suddenly turned around and said excitedly.

"But……"

"Don't say buts or nos. If you dare to say anything later, you will have to bear the consequences yourself. He can't be provoked anymore. I beg you." The first half of the sentence was quite strong, but it became less and less confident as it went on, and turned into a plea.

Meng Zhiling frowned, not knowing why Xu Ziyi was so excited.

"What happened after Jiahang was hospitalized?"

"Don't ask so many questions. In short, just do what I say. Although I don't have a good impression of you, I just want to help Jiahang." Xu Ziyi said lightly, not wanting to say too much, and then turned around.

Meng Zhiling also gave a bitter smile and quietly followed her into the ward.

"What are you talking about? You're so mysterious." Cheng Jiahang greeted me with a broad smile as I entered. (Regarding Cheng Jiahang, the author of the previous chapter, who was so ruthless, changed his last name to Li. I felt so uncomfortable when I was typing today. I just checked and realized I made a mistake yesterday. I'm so sorry everyone.)

"It's nothing, just a conversation between girls. What? Are you interested too?" Xu Ziyi answered first, looking relaxed and without any sign of anything unusual. Meng Zhiling also nodded slightly and accompanied Xu Ziyi in "acting".

"Haha, okay, Ziyi, could you please ask the doctor for me how long it will take before I can be discharged? Zhiling and I want to talk."

Xu Ziyi nodded. Cheng Jiahang had made his meaning so clear, it was impossible for her not to give him face. Even if she didn't like Meng Zhiling's contact with Cheng Jiahang, she still gave them time and space to talk alone.

"Zhiling, thank you for coming to see me." After Xu Ziyi left, the smile on Cheng Jiahang's face gradually faded, and he looked at Meng Zhiling seriously.

That look and tone made Meng Zhiling's heart skip a beat. She had a feeling that what he was going to say next might not be so light-hearted and pleasant.

"As long as you don't blame me for not visiting you and taking care of you for so long, it's fine. Why are you still saying thank you? I should be the one saying thank you. After all, you were injured while saving me." Meng Zhiling lowered her head. For the first time, she felt so sad about owing someone a favor.

"No need. I think anyone else would have saved you and would not have left a girl like you behind. I only did what I thought was right. You don't have to feel guilty about my injury. After all, it was not caused by you, and it is not your responsibility. Also, I'll give this back to you. There is really no need to do all this." After saying this, Cheng Jiahang took out a piece of paper from under the pillow and handed it to Meng Zhiling.

As soon as Meng Zhiling opened it, she was stunned. She was usually eloquent, but she suddenly didn't know what to say.

After a long while, Meng Zhiling smiled coldly and said, "Cheng Jiahang, what do you mean?"

"Don't get me wrong, Zhiling, I really can't take this money. I've already said that I only did what I thought was right. Whether I get hurt or not has nothing to do with you. You don't have to feel guilty, and you don't have to compensate me. I know that this money was obtained from you by my mother saying some unpleasant things. I'm not angry with you, I really can't take your money, let alone such a large amount." Cheng Jiahang said sincerely.

It turned out that the piece of paper was the check that Meng Zhiling gave to Mrs. Cheng that day. It seemed that after Cheng Jiahang woke up, he must have had a small conflict with his mother. Otherwise, his mother loved money more than her son and would definitely not give out the money she had already obtained.

"Jiahang, I didn't give the money to your mother out of anger. Please accept it as a way to comfort my guilty heart, okay? Otherwise, such an accident wouldn't have happened that day." Meng Zhiling choked up, and that was all she could say.

"Haha, you'd better take it back. I had a big fight with my mom and dad because of this money. Now my dad is on my side, and my mom is divorcing my dad. Now the family company is also facing huge problems. If my mom leaves, she will definitely take away some old customers and old employees. She can make a comeback in a minute. But my dad has not been in charge of the company for ten years because of heart problems. It's hard to say..." Having said this, Cheng Jiahang paused, his eyes full of melancholy, without any sunny temperament.

"Excuse me for being blunt, but isn't it just right to take the money back? Your mother will be happy and won't divorce your father. Your family will still be a harmonious and happy family. Why not do it? Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to sympathize with you. I really just want to make up for my little guilt." Meng Zhiling raised her eyebrows. Although she was angry in her heart, she still spoke carefully.

I really didn't expect Cheng Jiahang's mother to be so evil! It really makes people angry.

"Haha, Zhiling, you still don't understand. In fact, the point is not this check. This check is just a fuse. If it weren't for this check, she would have left us sooner or later. After all, our values ​​are different. Especially in recent years, she has become even worse, which has made my dad even more fed up. I usually never go home because I don't want to see her." Cheng Jiahang didn't take the check handed over by Meng Zhiling, but turned his gaze to the window. Looking at the gloomy weather outside the window, he smiled bitterly in his heart. It was really appropriate.

"why?"

"Because she is not my biological mother. My mother died when I was very young. I had no memory at that time. Later, my father married my current mother so that I could feel the love of a mother. He taught me to call her mother since I was a child. But since she took over all the affairs of the company, she has never fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother to me. I didn't like her very much when I was a child, and later I had no affection for her at all. We became more and more distant. I didn't expect that in the past two years, she has been drifting further and further away from our family. If she wants to leave, no one can stop her." Cheng Jiahang regarded Meng Zhiling as a good person to listen to.

He had never said these words to anyone else, but when he saw Meng Zhiling, he felt that the so-called disguised brightness in his eyes seemed to be seen through by her. In front of her, everyone became a person without any secrets, so at this time, he unknowingly let out the emotions that had accumulated in his heart.

Meng Zhiling just listened quietly, listening to his story, listening to him telling a story that was not really a story in a very expressive way. Beyond his words, she could imagine the sadness in his heart at that moment.

Maybe this is why he needs to pretend. After all, no one will understand these things even if he tells them, so it is better to suppress them deep in his heart. Over time, he hypnotizes himself into thinking that those things do not exist at all, and that the pretended happiness is the real happiness.

Finally, Meng Zhiling smiled faintly, "I didn't expect you to have such experiences. But, it doesn't matter, Jiahang. People with strong hearts will not be affected by these things. I believe in you. You are still that sunny boy."

Cheng Jiahang turned his head and their eyes met. His gaze met her confident eyes and he smiled instantly. Different from his previous smiles, this smile was deeper, more mature and more restrained.

"Okay then, I'll take the money, so you won't say I'm sympathizing with you later." Meng Zhiling put the check into her bag and smiled, which made Cheng Jiahang smile unconsciously.

However, while accepting the check, Meng Zhiling was quickly calculating in her mind. As far as she knew, Cheng Group mainly dealt in department stores, and its status in Linhai City was second only to Qiao and Ming. Of course, this was only in Linhai City. In other places, their family would definitely not be ranked high. At least in Linhai City, their real estate value was even higher than that of Luo Yunsong's family. No wonder Mrs. Cheng had those perverse ideas. She was probably disgusted with Cheng Jiahang and Mr. Cheng for holding her back. She wanted to see what kind of success she could achieve after leaving Cheng!

She is also planning to enter various fields, so helping Cheng overcome difficulties may really be better than giving him a check.

"Zhiling."

"Hmm?" Meng Zhiling raised her head and was met with his tender gaze. Her heart tightened. She was very familiar with this kind of gaze and understood perfectly how he felt about her.

"Actually, you don't have to hide it from me. I know the condition of my own body very well. I have also secretly asked the doctor..." At this point, Cheng Jiahang was speechless again and turned his face away. He really couldn't say the next words. He was always reminding himself that he must not get a limp and lose face.

But his mind seemed to be out of control. From the moment Meng Zhiling entered the door, he had something he wanted to say to her, and the idea was extremely crazy.

But when the words were about to come out of his mouth, he pushed them back. He couldn't ask her if she was willing to be his girlfriend at this time, otherwise she would think he was threatening her, or she would think he was trying to gain her sympathy.

Although he has always known how Xu Ziyi feels about him, if he really has feelings for her, he should have done so a long time ago. They are both talented and beautiful, and Xu Ziyi's family background is also good. If he has feelings for her, they should have become a couple a long time ago.

But ever since he first met Meng Zhiling, he felt that this girl had already lived in his heart. No matter how others discussed her or said anything about her, he always stood behind them and listened silently. Last time, he finally had the chance and the courage to talk to her, and even had the chance to be hurt for her. Only then did he realize that loving someone is not that easy, and it would be better for him to keep her in his heart quietly.
