Chapter 248: Chapter 248: How Much Do You Know About What Happened That Year?

While choosing a shirt, a conversation suddenly came from opposite, "Zhenzhen, is that really you?"

The name Zhenzhen was extremely sensitive, and Cheng Zhiwei immediately looked up to see, indeed, it was Seo Zhenzhen, standing there with a man with yellow hair and an earring on one ear.

Very familiar.

That was...

Cheng Zhiwei reacted quickly, pulling Cheng Zhiyin behind a rack of clothes and at the same time, took out her phone to start recording.

"Huang Ye, what are you doing here," Seo Zhenzhen’s tone was a bit panicked.

Hearing this name, Cheng Zhiwei had some impression, that was a classmate from her university.

But was he close with Seo Zhenzhen? Cheng Zhiwei couldn’t remember.

She always couldn’t recall anything about Zhou Lin and Seo Zhenzhen, yet that had little effect on other things.

The joy of old classmates meeting after many years was evident in Huang Ye’s tone, "Long time no see, Zhenzhen, your leg is already healed, you can really stand up now?"

Seo Zhenzhen was somewhat uncomfortable, "Yeah, what are you doing here?"

Huang Ye sighed and said, "After the incident, I was afraid that if Zhou Lin found me, he’d eventually trace it back to you. Just when my parents arranged for me to go abroad, I left the country."

Seo Zhenzhen’s complexion changed slightly, and after looking around and noticing there was no one nearby, she forced out, "I have things to do, we’ll talk another time."

Huang Ye held onto her, his eyes full of admiration, "Zhenzhen, you said you liked me before, now that your leg is healed and I’ve returned to the country, can we be together?"

"Huang Ye, I’m sorry," Seo Zhenzhen immediately refused, "I cannot agree to that."

"You still like Zhou Lin?"

"I..."

"After all you did to scheme against him, do you think he would still want you if he found out what you did?" Huang Ye’s voice suddenly turned sinister, "Seo Zhenzhen, because of you, I haven’t dared to return to the country all these years, and this is how you treat me?"

"Huang Ye, don’t get excited, I didn’t say I liked him," Seo Zhenzhen quickly regained her composure and sighed softly, "But as you can see, I still need to rely on his resources to get by in the entertainment industry, I can’t afford to offend him now."

"We can still see each other privately," Huang Ye moved closer to her, holding her hand with a suggestive tone, "Even though I am already married, you have always been my goddess. You’re the one I like the most, Zhenzhen, do you understand what I mean?"

Whether Seo Zhenzhen understood or not, Cheng Zhiwei did - Seo Zhenzhen had something that Huang Ye could hold against her, and Huang Ye was threatening her to become his mistress.

Cheng Zhiwei lowered her eyes slightly, thinking of the time netizens cursed her, saying she was the slut who messed around with her best friend’s boyfriend.

The best friend was Seo Zhenzhen, the best friend’s boyfriend was Zhou Lin, and it seemed like the affair had happened in a hotel.

Could it be the incident Huang Ye was referring to?

Over there, Seo Zhenzhen placated Huang Ye with a few perfunctory words and then left.

And Huang Ye stood there for a moment before leaving.

Cheng Zhiwei saved the recording on her phone, turned back to Cheng Zhiyin, and asked, "Sister, how much do you know about what happened back then?"

Cheng Zhiyin shook her head, "I only know that you and Zhou Lin had relations, and then both families discussed marriage, but as for how those relations came about, I have no idea."

Cheng Zhiwei held her phone tightly; memories related to Zhou Lin and Seo Zhenzhen were locked away, completely inaccessible to her.

"However, I believe someone must know."

"Who?"

"Xu Tian."

After Cheng Zhiwei started losing her memories related to Zhou Lin, her impression of Xu Tian had become much more distant. Plus, Zhou Lin had deleted all the frequently contacted people from her phone, so she hadn’t been in touch with Xu Tian for a long while.

"Was I close with her?" Cheng Zhiwei asked.

Cheng Zhiyin said softly, "She was with you during your hardest times."

That’s what a very good friend is.

"When can I see her?"

"I’ll make arrangements," Cheng Zhiyin patted Cheng Zhiwei’s arm, signaling her not to worry. Now, they couldn’t do anything that would alert Zhou Lin, so she had to plan carefully.

But soon, they met Xu Tian.

Cheng Zhiwei picked out two shirts according to Zhou Lin’s size and then went to the jewelry store with Cheng Zhiyin.

Cheng Zhiwei wanted to prepare jewelry for the baby in her belly as a gift for their first meeting.

It just so happened that they ran into Seo Zhenzhen.

By her side was He Lanzhi, and the two seemed quite close, picking out rings together.

"Zhiwei," Seo Zhenzhen greeted Cheng Zhiwei with a smile and looked towards Cheng Zhiyin, "Sister Zhiyin got out of jail?"

She knew Cheng Zhiyin hadn’t been to prison, but she said it on purpose, considering Cheng Zhiyin had been close to getting arrested before.

As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, two of the attendants immediately showed looks of disdain and even put away the jewelry on the counter, as if afraid Cheng Zhiyin might steal something.

Cheng Zhiyin fought to contain the humiliation, grasped Cheng Zhiwei’s hand, and whispered, "Zhiwei, let’s go."

Cheng Zhiwei had amnesia, so those things had never been mentioned to her by Cheng Zhiyin, because she didn’t want Zhiwei to get hurt for her sake again.

If she had known earlier, she would have left the moment she saw Seo Zhenzhen.

However, Cheng Zhiwei frowned, "What ’jail’?"

"Let’s talk about it at home," Cheng Zhiyin held her hand firmly.

Cheng Zhiwei understood and didn’t ask further, turned around, and prepared to leave.

Seo Zhenzhen laughed mockingly, "Zhiwei, you don’t know? I can tell you, Sister Zhiyin used to be a teacher, and she was arrested for stealing..."

"Enough, Seo Zhenzhen." With a look of contempt, Cheng Zhiwei pulled Cheng Zhiyin behind her, staring coldly at Seo Zhenzhen, "Stop spouting nonsense here."

Seo Zhenzhen curled her lips, not daring to say too much for fear of angering Zhou Lin, but she had already said what she wanted to.

Stealing is shameful, and for a teacher to steal is even more shameful.

An attendant approached, saying disdainfully, "Excuse us, both of you, please leave."

Looking at Seo Zhenzhen’s triumphant expression, Cheng Zhiwei felt angry, "Customers are supposed to be valued, are you telling me to leave?"

She wanted to see how much weight the identity of Young Madam Zhou carried, whether it was influential enough.

The attendant rolled her eyes, "Can you afford it? Don’t let us catch you with sticky fingers."

Cheng Zhiwei laughed out of exasperation, "Isn’t there a surveillance system here?"

Glancing around, she pointed at a newly arrived attendant who still looked rather youthful, "You there, come here, I want to pick something out."

The new attendant was oblivious and hurried over, while the older ones didn’t warn her; they figured it wasn’t their problem.

"Madam, what style would you like?" asked the new attendant softly and sweetly.

Cheng Zhiwei, not wishing to discuss her child in front of Seo Zhenzhen, simply asked for the most expensive item.

While waiting for the new attendant to fetch the items, she glanced coolly at Seo Zhenzhen, "Picking out rings?"

Her tone purposefully drawn out, "Young Master He is the precious and esteemed eldest son of the He family. Buying you a ring, yet not custom-made but from a jewelry store, such ordinary goods?"
