Since I understand the path I must take in the future…
I should start by doing something.
Zheng Yixu decisively took out his phone, opened a web browser, set it to incognito mode, and then visited a well-known forum. He directly posted a thread: “#How can I divorce without hurting both sides’ feelings?#”
Afterward, Zheng Yixu promptly closed the webpage, turned off his phone, and planned to check again the next time he went to the bathroom. Even if Zhao Louqin had installed monitors in the bathroom, he would probably just think Zheng Yixu was reading a novel.
“Why don’t you guys chat first? I’ll go out for some fresh air and order a dish,” Zheng Yixu said as he stood up.
“We’ve already ordered the dishes,” Zhang Jianxin replied, looking up. “I ordered everything you all like.” After he finished speaking, a “praise me, praise me” expression appeared on his face.
It’s often said that In a pair of twins, one is smart and the other is dumb. He didn’t believe it before, but now he truly does. When they were in their mother’s womb, Zhang Jianxin’s brain was definitely occupied by Zhang Jianli.
“I’ll add one more dish,” Zheng Yixu said coldly. “I’m sure you didn’t order this one!”
“Little Sunshine, I’ll go with you,” Zhao Louqin said, about to get up. “You’re not familiar with this place.”
“I’m just amnesiac, not directionally challenged,” Zheng Yixu waved his hand, reluctantly “admitting” his amnesia. Sure enough, hearing this, Zhao Louqin stopped insisting, “Alright, dear. If you need anything, just call the waiter. It’s fine to look around.”
“Dad, how about…”
“No need, I’m just going to the restroom and taking a quick look around. It won’t take more than a few minutes,” Zheng Yixu cruelly rejected the pretty boy’s offer. Under normal circumstances, he definitely wouldn’t refuse such a lovely companion.
After speaking, afraid that this father and son might cause some trouble, Zheng Yixu quickly opened the door and left.
“Tsk tsk, even though he has amnesia, he’s still as decisive as ever,” Zhang Jianxin said, his eyes shining. “Truly the head of the household! Zhao Louqin, if you want to play the nurturing game, hmm, you’d better give up on that idea. Once your little Sunshine regains his memory, you’ll definitely end up wearing out several keyboards kneeling in apology!
”Gu Yanqiu couldn’t help but laugh as well. “Your son is already this grown up and you still haven’t given up on that idea?” Although she had long known that Zhao Louqin was quite persistent in certain matters, this seemed a bit too much.
“Hmph, you single dogs should deal with your own lifelong matters first,” Zhao Louqin said angrily, turning his head away. “This is a heaven-sent opportunity for me. The doctor said there’s nothing wrong with Little Sunshine’s memory center, and his memory will surely recover gradually. The joy of watching a loved one grow slowly in your own hands is something you won’t understand.”
Zhao Louqin had always been dissatisfied with not having occupied Zheng Yixu’s childhood memories. Now that Zheng Yixu’s memory was blank, it was simply a heaven-sent opportunity. Even if Little Sunshine punished him by making him kneel on a keyboard in the future, he would accept it.
Zhao Jiusi, seeing his father being so childish about this nurturing game, didn’t voice his opinion. Ahem, in fact, he was also a little excited, very much looking forward to the days when his father would be punished by dad. Hmm, that scene would definitely be interesting.
Zheng Yixu asked a waiter for the location of the restroom. As he slowly walked and looked around, he took out his phone.
Before he even reached the restroom, the door of another private room opened, and a girl rushed out. Yes, rushed out directly towards him. Seeing Zheng Yixu, she looked as if she had seen hope and immediately tried to grab his hand.
Having just been ambushed earlier, Zheng Yixu reflexively leaned to the left, avoiding the girl’s grasp.
The girl missed her target and looked at Zheng Yixu with a resentful expression. “Little Uncle.
”Hmm?
She looked somewhat familiar.
Hearing her call him “Little Uncle,” Zheng Yixu finally remembered that this seemed to be his niece, Zheng Qiuyan.
“Little Uncle, please help me,” Zheng Qiuyan urgently pleaded, grabbing Zheng Yixu’s hand. Another person emerged from the private room, a man with a beer belly, resembling the stereotypical overbearing middle manager often depicted in schools. He had several gold rings on his fingers and looked like a nouveau riche.
“You ungrateful bitch, just because you have some connections, you think you can ditch me? No way!” The man with the beer belly glared viciously at Zheng Qiuyan and then at Zheng Yixu with the same hostility. “Who are you? Her new sugar daddy, or just another actor?”
“Mr. Wang, let’s part ways amicably, there’s nothing unspeakable about it,” Zheng Qiuyan said, likely gaining confidence upon seeing Zheng Yixu present. “This is my uncle, so watch your mouth.”
“Clean? Where was your cleanliness when you climbed into bed begging for a role?” Wang sneered. “Uncle? I think he’s your little lover. I have no issue with parting ways amicably; you’re not a goddess, and I don’t need to cling to you. But of all people, you had to cozy up to my arch-enemy. One moment you’re in bed trying to get information out of me, the next moment you’re at my rival’s place. And you call that parting amicably?
”Zheng Qiuyan’s face turned pale, unable to utter a single word.
At this point, Zheng Yixu was almost certain that the issue lay with Zheng Qiuyan herself. She probably tried to please both sides but lacked the skills and got caught. After all, Zheng Qiuyan was only eighteen…
One has to admit, this circle is indeed messy.
I wonder how Zhao Louqin, with a face similar to the current Zhao Jiusi, managed to survive in the entertainment industry back then?
“Uncle…” Zheng Qiuyan choked up as she looked at Zheng Yixu. “I… I really didn’t mean to. I didn’t know about their relationship. That person was good to me, so I…”
“This has nothing to do with me,” Zheng Yixu said, removing her hand. In his past life, he had just entered society as a novice, and his cunning probably couldn’t match that of Zheng Qiuyan. Moreover, it was clear that the fault lay entirely with her. Zheng Yixu wasn’t familiar with her and saw no need to help her.
However, the other party was just a newly adult girl and his niece at that. He couldn’t completely ignore her; young people make mistakes.
“Mr. Wang, isn’t it? I’m sorry, as you can see, my niece just turned eighteen this year and might really be unaware of many things. Moreover, she definitely can’t match your cunning. How about this: someday, I’ll have her visit you, have a meal together, and apologize. Let’s put this matter behind us, considering you two had some sort of relationship,” Zheng Yixu said with a smile.
“This isn’t really a big deal,” Wang said, his anger slightly subsiding. “It’s just that her dramatic reaction made it seem like I did something terrible to her.”
“She’s just a kid who doesn’t know any better. It must be your imposing presence that made her react like that,” Zheng Yixu said, flattering him a little.
“Solving this issue is simple. I’m a bit of a playboy, and who knows what I might have said in bed. I won’t let this go without venting my anger. Either she stays quiet and out of the spotlight for three years, or she compensates me for my loss. She went to my rival, and the deal I had got snatched away. I don’t believe there wasn’t some foul play!”
“Mr. Wang, that’s a bit much to say. What could a young girl possibly know? This is a place for dining, and arguing would only spoil the mood.
”Huh? Where did this person come from?
Zheng Yixu turned his head slightly and saw a handsome young man with rosy lips and white teeth, his beauty was truly MAX. His attractiveness was only slightly lower than Zhao Louqin’s according to Baidu. However, he had a completely different style compared to Zhao Louqin. In terms of the aesthetic preferences of younger girls, he might even score higher.
A beauty, truly a beauty!
Zheng Yixu looked at him several times with an appreciative gaze.
Zheng Yixu’s gaze was probably a bit too intense, and the young man seemed somewhat uncomfortable at first, but he quickly composed himself.
“I didn’t expect Mr. Lin to be here,” Wang said, his expression immediately improving. “In that case, I’ll give Mr. Lin some face. I’m sorry for disturbing your meal. Next time, it’s on me.
”With that, Wang left calmly, even somewhat cheerfully. It seemed that this Mr. Lin had a powerful background.
“Thank you, Mr. Lin,” Zheng Qiuyan said softly, bowing her head. “No need to thank me,” the beautiful Mr. Lin said nonchalantly. “By the way, why is Mr. Zheng here?”
Ahem, so they’re acquaintances?
The original host seemed to know a lot of beauties, how nice.
Zheng Yixu felt a bit awkward. “I just came out to use the restroom.”
“It seems Mr. Zheng truly has amnesia. Nice to meet you, I’m Lin Ninghua.”
