Chapter 215: Chapter 215 Self Introduction
Everyone seemed to be very angry.
Faced with such an incident, it seemed that they couldn’t fully accept it.
But they only dared to show their anger after Liu Zheng had left.
They also wanted to ingratiate themselves with Huang Haoxiang.
After all, they had indeed begged for mercy just now.
Moreover, they had done so proactively.
The main reason was that they truly felt unable to hold on any longer; not many people could have gone through something like that.
For them, this also counted as a heavy blow, didn’t it?
If possible, they too wished to flaunt their power.
They also hoped to stand tall and proud.
But now, it seemed that everything had changed.
Huang Haoxiang, hearing this, couldn’t help but recall some of the earlier scenes.
His heart was filled with even more anger.
It was only after he had thrown his drunken tantrum that he was finally supported by these people and taken back.
At this moment, Liu Zheng was also by Chen Xiaoxiao’s side.
Chen Xiaoxiao had been silent the whole way.
The atmosphere felt very tense, and there was a touch of awkwardness.
The main reason was that they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and they didn’t have much of a relationship before.
It was not until Chen Xiaoxiao arrived at her front door
that she turned her head, somewhat embarrassedly, to look at Liu Zheng and then spoke very sincerely,
"I really want to thank you this time. If it hadn’t been for you, I don’t know what would have happened next."
Upon hearing her words, Liu Zheng simply raised his hand and waved it gently.
"It’s nothing, nothing. I see you don’t seem to be in a good state; you should go back and rest first, get some good rest."
After hearing that,
she nodded lightly.
She had wanted to say more,
but the words reached her lips and she still held them back.
After quite a while, she mustered the courage to speak,
"I saw that you drank quite a lot just now. You should really get some rest, hurry up and go to sleep."
"You don’t need to worry about me. I’m fine, and I’m not drunk. You go on in and rest."
Chen Xiaoxiao, standing before him, heard his words and obediently nodded, then finally she went inside.
After the door closed, Liu Zheng took a long deep breath.
He then walked towards his own home.
Honestly, he had never imagined that attending a reunion like today’s, he would encounter such an incident.
But he had no regrets about the choice he made.
These people were indeed very arrogant.
If he hadn’t shown them a lesson, no matter what, they wouldn’t have realized just how despicable they were.
But unexpectedly, as he was nearly home, he found a woman standing at the entrance.
He took a closer look and realized it was the same proprietress from earlier today.
There she was again.
What Liu Zheng found very strange was, what was she doing here?
Could it be she was waiting for him on purpose?
Honestly, this twist of fate was really quite extraordinary.
He found himself encountering her several times out of the blue.
Yet he didn’t even know her name.
This was indeed somewhat ridiculous.
Furthermore,
it was only today that he had found out, she was the proprietor of that restaurant.
He walked to the door, raised his fist to his mouth, and gave a soft cough.
"You wouldn’t be waiting for me on purpose, would you?"
He had only meant to test the waters.
But he hadn’t anticipated that the woman in front of him would step forward with a slight smile and nod her head.
"Yes, I was waiting for you."
Seeing her speak so openly, Liu Zheng opened his mouth but found himself at a loss for words.
He didn’t expect her to be so direct.
Regardless, he was indeed very grateful to her for being willing to pick up the tab for him today.
Soon, he found his voice.
"I really appreciate your help today, but I can pay you back for it."
Yet the woman in front of him refused without hesitation.
"What do you mean by this? You’re being too polite. It’s no problem, just consider it payment for the medical treatment you gave me last time."
"But the medical fee wasn’t that much."
Liu Zheng quickly responded.
After all, there had been a big group of people eating today, and they had drunk quite a bit of alcohol; the bill must have been substantial.
However, the woman in front of him simply waved her hand dismissively.
"Alright, this amount of money is nothing to me. But since we’ve met so many times now, you probably still don’t know my name. I’m Liu Jiaxin."
After saying this, she extended her hand towards him.
"Hello, I’m Liu Zheng."
Liu Zheng immediately shook her hand and introduced himself.
Unexpectedly, the woman merely smiled slightly.
"I know you’re Liu Zheng."
She had initially thought he was him.
Later, she even had someone look into it.
It was then she discovered that this person was not the one from her memory.
They were not the same person.
She remembered watching him die right before her eyes.
How could he possibly come back to life?
Moreover, her former lover had indeed had no siblings.
This Liu Zheng was not related to him in any way.
But exactly because of this, she had come to understand him more deeply.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng felt a bit perplexed.
"I didn’t expect that you would know, it seems you have investigated me secretly."
Liu Jiaxin didn’t hide anything and readily nodded.
"Yes, I have indeed looked into you."
It appeared that she was quite straightforward.
Whatever she had to say would come out, and she likely wasn’t one to hide much.
"But seeing as you’ve come back so late, I assume you must have escorted that young lady home?"
Before Liu Zheng could reply, Liu Jiaxin had already spoken up.
This left Liu Zheng uncertain about what to say.
"The girl is indeed pretty, but let’s leave it at that for now. I should get going."
Seeing her ready to leave after speaking, Liu Zheng’s curiosity only intensified; he had no idea why she had specifically come to see him or what her purpose was.
Was it just to introduce herself to him?
He really couldn’t figure out Liu Jiaxin’s thought process.
However, by the time he came to his senses, the woman had already disappeared from his sight.
Although he didn’t understand what was going on, he did feel quite tired by now and was eager to get some sleep.
So he quickly entered the house, ready to turn in for a good night’s sleep. He would deal with the rest after waking up.
