Chapter 198 Fear of Strangers
Chapter 198 Fear of Strangers
The trip to H City was never mentioned again.
Zhou Niantang felt that after his illness, everything returned to the way it was before.
Zhou Yunqi never mentioned the fact that she ran away, nor did she talk about Pei Shi.
He even asked her to stop associating with Yun Zhi.
Even if Yun Zhi came to see her occasionally and they met, they would always keep silent.
After a few days, when she felt better, she started receiving psychotherapy.
No one told her why they did this.
She didn't ask, but she knew that she must be sick in her heart, so she couldn't control her sadness.
The treatment did have a certain effect, and perhaps it was also because of the company of her family and friends. After nearly a month, she didn't cry as much as at the beginning.
But when I can't sleep at night, I always think of someone.
Many times, she wrapped herself in the quilt, holding her phone, and repeatedly read the chat records that Pei Shi had sent her before.
She had released him from the blacklist a long time ago, but she never had the courage to send him a message.
He said that if she didn't want to see him, he wouldn't appear in front of her.
Every time I think of this, my heart aches.
Obviously, the current situation is what he has always wanted. He has the company of family and friends, and he doesn't have to have anything to do with Pei Shi anymore. He doesn't have to worry about Zhou Yunqi finding out.
But she just couldn't be happy.
She found herself to be a very greedy person, wanting this and that.
But life is not perfect, there will always be some regrets in some things.
The weather is gradually getting warmer.
Ever since her health started to improve, Aunt Zhang or Luo Luo would take her downstairs for a walk every day. When she started to sweat slightly, they would take her back.
With proper exercise and improvements in all aspects, she began to gain back the weight she had lost.
In the evening of that day, facing the sunset, she saw Liu Xiaoyun, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, downstairs.
Originally, she and Luo Luo were planning to go back, but in the reflection of the glass wall, she saw Liu Xiaoyun standing not far behind her.
Only then did she remember that she had been in the hospital for such a long time and so many people had visited her, but Liu Xiaoyun had never come to see her. And this was the Liu family's hospital, so it was impossible for her not to know about this.
She turned around and walked towards Liu Xiaoyun. Luo Luo wanted to follow her, but she stopped her, "It's Xiaoyun. I'll go find her."
Luo Luo didn't stop her again, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
Zhou Niantang didn't pay much attention. She trotted over to Liu Xiaoyun, pulled her aside and asked, "Why didn't you come to see me?"
Liu Xiaoyun smiled awkwardly: "I've been a bit busy lately."
Zhou Niantang expressed her disbelief. Everyone knew that this man was a rich second-generation who just lived a life of idleness and waiting to die. When had she ever been busy!
"You have someone else outside, so you changed your mind about me."
Liu Xiaoyun: ...Where did these quotes from a complaining woman come from? Also, didn’t her father say that Zhou Niantang was suffering from moderate to severe depression?
Judging from the way she spoke, it didn't seem like that, but Liu Xiaoyun still felt relieved.
"I'm really busy. Something happened at my mom's beauty salon, and she's been dragging me to work lately."
Speaking of Liu's mother, Zhou Niantang no longer had a good impression of her, but since she was her good friend's mother, he still asked out of concern: "Is the matter resolved now?"
"It's solved, no big deal."
Liu Xiaoyun was just about to say that she had something to do and had to leave first, but Zhou Niantang grabbed her arm.
"So you're done with your work and you're here to see me today? If you're here, why don't you come and see me? I just happen to be bored today."
Liu Xiaoyun clenched her other hand. She had always been a outspoken person, but her father had warned her many times that there were some things that Zhou Niantang could not know.
In fact, she wanted to visit Zhou Niantang when she had been in the hospital for only a few days, and she did come.
Moreover, after the blind date incident, her mother realized that she was wrong and wanted to take this opportunity to ease her relationship with Zhou Niantang.
So the mother and daughter came together, but they couldn't get in and were stopped by the bodyguards.
Afterwards, her father told them not to disturb Zhou Niantang again.
But Liu Xiaoyun didn’t understand. How could visiting a good friend be considered a disturbance?
Later her father said that it was because he took the initiative to find Zhou Tonglin to apologize and told him about the blind date, which eventually ended up being known to Zhou Yunqi.
Then Zhou Yunqi called personally and told them not to let the mother and daughter disturb Zhou Niantang anymore.
Liu Xiaoyun could understand the parents' anger, but she could not agree with Zhou Yunqi's one-size-fits-all approach.
And her mother is her mother, she and Zhou Niantang have known each other for many years!
When she heard that her good friend was sick, how could she not come to visit her? So she endured for many days, and today she found an excuse to wait here, just to see how she was doing recently.
Unexpectedly, he was caught red-handed by Zhou Niantang.
Liu Xiaoyun sighed inwardly, thinking that Zhou Niantang was really heartless. She must not know that her sister was secretly not allowing them to interact with each other.
She smiled awkwardly: "I just arrived and you saw me."
Then she was pulled away by Zhou Niantang: "That's perfect, let's have dinner together tonight. It's been a long time since we last met, almost two months, tell me more gossip about you and Qiao Kai."
Zhou Niantang has long wanted to know what the relationship between Liu Xiaoyun and Qiao Kai is. At first, she said she was her brother's friend, but it turns out that these two seem to have a close relationship?
But Liu Xiaoyun stopped where she was and held her back.
Zhou Niantang turned around and looked at her in confusion.
Liu Xiaoyun was a straightforward person and was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and let the cat out of the bag, so she wanted to find an excuse to leave.
But Luo Luo quickly came over and said to Liu Xiaoyun with a smile: "Miss Liu, come up together. I'll have someone prepare dinner for you."
Liu Xiaoyun: ??? She was allowed to associate with Zhou Niantang again?
Until she returned to the ward, Liu Xiaoyun still didn't understand what was going on.
Of course she would not listen to her father and say not to associate with anyone, but she had to consider their family business.
After all, the Zhou family under Zhou Yunqi's leadership does have the capital to cause trouble for others.
Liu Xiaoyun accompanied Zhou Niantang for dinner. During the whole process, she didn't feel that Zhou Niantang looked any different from before.
If I have to say something, it's that I have indeed lost a little weight.
But soon, she discovered that something seemed to be a little different.
The two started chatting after the meal. After all, they hadn't been in touch for more than two months, so there was a lot to talk about.
At around eight o'clock, Liu Xiaoyun got up and prepared to leave.
Zhou Niantang sent her to the outer room, and at this time, the door of the outer room was opened from the outside.
Zhou Ming walked in with a girl. The girl was tall and looked delicate and sexy.
However, Liu Xiaoyun didn't know these two people, so she turned around and wanted to ask Zhou Niantang who they were.
But Zhou Niantang actually hid behind her, with a look of helplessness on his face.
Liu Xiaoyun's brain froze for a moment. Could it be that these two people had bullied her?
Then she thought it was impossible, because there were two Zhou family bodyguards outside, who would dare to bully her?
Soon, Liu Xiaoyun suddenly felt nervous. She realized that Zhou Niantang was really depressed.
Because she remembered the information she had read before that some people with depression are afraid of strangers.
