Chapter 1109 Slight Changes

At the door of 2201, Ye Zhenzhen rang the doorbell.

Not long after Wang Yan left, her parents called her. During the call, she seriously criticized her parents for being overly caring and said that they should never do that again.

Her parents agreed without hesitation, but she also knew that it would be difficult to avoid it in the future. She herself believed that her family had persecution paranoia, and she also had some to a certain extent. Otherwise, in an international metropolis like Shanghai, where she went in and out of busy places, the possibility of encountering a "wolf" was actually extremely low.

But she has lived peacefully for nearly 30 years, and even though she studied in Europe for many years, where the overall social security is not as good as in China, she never thought about practicing martial arts, nor did she make the anti-wolf spray that appeared many times in the play. But after He Minhong was secretly photographed, she suddenly became afraid of snakes and scorpions, and soon made anti-wolf spray and carried it with her...

After she finished talking to her parents on the phone, she thought about it and decided that she should come to Lucy to express her sincere apologies, so she came over and rang the doorbell of room 2201.

After a while, Lucy opened the door and looked at Ye Zhenzhen in silence.

Ye Zhenzhen said: "I'm sorry, Lucy, I..."

"Come in and talk." Lucy made way.

Ye Zhenzhen looked at Lucy with some surprise, then nodded and walked into the house.

Lucy took a glass of water and placed it in front of Ye Zhenzhen, then sat on the sofa and looked at her.

Ye Zhenzhen felt a little depressed. She let out a long breath and said, "Lucy, what I said outside before was the truth. My parents..."

"I understand." Lucy waved her hands and said with a smile, "I envy you for loving your parents so much. Let me tell you a story..."

Then, Lucy told her story. Of course, Lucy burst into tears when she talked about it again.

In fact, whenever she thought about the scene at that time, the helpless fear and despair that came over her, and then recalled her circumstances of the year, she couldn't help but want to cry.

Just like when she told Wang Yan, she wanted to say it lightly, but when she really said it, she couldn't help but tears welled up in her eyes...

As the one who was listening quietly, Ye Zhenzhen's eyes also turned red. She sympathized and felt sorry for Lucy's experience.

After Lucy had almost finished telling the story of what happened and how she was misunderstood afterwards and everyone was blaming her as the victim, Lucy's secret was finally revealed.

Ye Zhenzhen let out a long breath, easing her fluctuating emotions, and said, "So you used someone else's identity just to find an opportunity to make that person get punished and pay the price?"

"more or less."

"Lucy, I don't quite understand why Wang Yan said that he is also a participant now?"

Lucy wiped her tears and actually laughed: "He is quite innocent. It was because of me. But I won't tell you too much."

Ye Zhenzhen frowned and thought for a moment: "You are not following him for revenge..."

"No." Lucy smiled and shook her head.

"You are so beautiful, and he is such a scumbag. I can't think of any other reason except that he is after your beauty."

"I'm being too clever." Lucy said no more, "There has been no real progress so far. Can you please keep it a secret for me?"

"Don't worry, I'm not a talkative person. Wang Yan, that damn scumbag, doesn't believe me." Ye Zhenzhen said confidently, smiling, "But I have to remind you, you must be careful of Wang Yan, he is not a good man, he really wants to eat people."

"I know, but thank you for reminding me anyway."

"Okay, I'm leaving then." Ye Zhenzhen stood up and was sent out by Lucy.

The door closed with a clang. Ye Zhenzhen, who was walking slowly forward, turned around and looked at the tightly closed door. Then she shook her head and sighed, and returned to her room 2203...

On this weekday, in the evening, Zhu Zhe got off work early and went to pick up his younger brother and sister, his younger brother's girlfriend, and his girlfriend's mother. The five of them returned to 2202 of Ode to Joy. With so many people entering, the small house was filled up in an instant.

Ye Zhenzhen, He Minhong and others were all aware of the arrival of Zhu Zhe's family. Zhu Zhe also put all his things with Wang Yan.

Just like in the original drama, Zhu Zhe showed a very shabby appearance, all of which were ugly old clothes and torn sheets. She told her brothers and sisters that she saved money for their education and even took out a loan and worked hard to pay off the debt.

But Zhu Zhe's brothers and sisters didn't understand at all and were still thinking about taking money from him. Although Zhu Zhe had accepted this result, he still felt disappointed.

Yu Chuhui and He Minhong acted together to express their dissatisfaction with these people being here. After such a farce, Zhu Zhe's brother and sister couldn't stand it anymore and said they wanted to find a hotel near the hospital to stay. Even in this situation, Zhu Zhe's brother still wanted to borrow money from Zhu Zhe to stay in the hotel, but he had no intention of paying back the money, and he didn't even have the consciousness...

He Minhong told Ye Zhenzhen about the situation in Room 2202. When she heard that they were leaving, Ye Zhenzhen offered to drive them to the hotel.

In the corridor on the 22nd floor, Ye Zhenzhen patiently explained to He Minhong that she was going to drive there to send them off because she didn't want Zhu Zhe's brothers and sisters to remember the address of Ode to Joy and prevent them from visiting in the future.

"So that's how it is." He Minhong suddenly realized and said, "Oh, by the way, Zhenzhen, there are five people including Sister Zhu. You can't pull them all together, right? And if you are caught, you will be fined and have to pay points."

This time it was Ye Zhenzhen who was surprised: "You can even think of this?"

He Minhong pouted and looked at Ye Zhenzhen with a look of resentment, "Zhenzhen, am I stupid?"

"Well, I mean you shouldn't pay attention to these things."

"I have a driver's license, okay?"

"Ah...haha." Ye Zhenzhen laughed and asked, "Does Sister Zhu have a driver's license?"

"We talked before, and Sister Zhu said she didn't have time to learn how to drive, and she never thought she would buy a car."

"I see. I hadn't thought about this issue at first, but now that you mentioned it, I think about it again. I definitely can't let a scumbag have it easy at this late hour, so I decided to let him run as well."

As she spoke, she took out her cell phone and made a call.

"Where is the scumbag?"

"Then you can come down. Gigi's brother and sister are here. They are going to a hotel near the hospital. There are five of them, and Gigi can't drive. I can't take them all by myself. Please help them."

After saying these two sentences, Ye Zhenzhen waved her phone at He Minhong: "Come down right away."

"Brother Yan is really enthusiastic." He Minhong said.

"I'm not enthusiastic?"

He Minhong chuckled: "Zhenzhen, you are more enthusiastic."

In less than a minute, Wang Yan staggered down.

Ye Zhenzhen nodded in satisfaction: "Sure, it's very fast."

“There comes a time when you know whether it is slow or fast.”

"Hmph~" Ye Zhenzhen glared at Wang Yan in reproach, then said, "Don't say anything later..."

"I know that Zhu Zhe's brothers and sisters are worthless. We can't expose the fact that Zhu Zhe is a big manager and doing well."

"You're smart."

He Minhong interrupted, "But Brother Yan, I think what Sister Zhu did is a bit..."

Noticing Wang Yan's look, He Minhong stopped talking and said weakly, "I just feel that..."

"We are all family. No matter what, they are Zhu Zhe's biological brother and sister, right?"

"That's what I thought."

"You've heard Zhu Zhe talk about their family situation, right?"

"But that's Sister Zhu's one-sided statement."

"Now you know you can't just listen to one side and believe it? Didn't you see them asking Zhu Zhe for money in their implicit words just now?" Wang Yan shook his head with a smile, "Xiao He, when will you shut up? If you can't figure it out right now, then think about it slowly. Don't rush to express your opinion. I've told you no less than three times."

"I'm sorry, Brother Yan..."

"You just say sorry out of habit, right? But in fact you still don't understand what the problem is. You really need to go to the train station and the hospital."

Ye Zhenzhen said, "Well, Honghong, go tell Jiji that Wang Yan and I will drive them there."

"Oh..." He Minhong pursed his lips and turned back to room 2202.

Watching He Minhong leave, Wang Yan bumped Ye Zhenzhen with his shoulder: "You think I'm too idle, so you have to assign me work, right?"

"Who asked you to come down?"

"If I don't come down, then my image as a righteous person will be shattered, right?"

"Don't worry, your image as a scumbag will never be shattered." Ye Zhenzhen bumped into Wang Yan with even greater force, and found that the latter was as still as a mountain. She slapped him unconvincedly and said, "I haven't told you yet. After you left that day, I went to apologize to Lucy again. She told me those things, but she didn't tell me why you became a participant. Can you tell me?"

"What about gossip? Knowing too much is not good for you." Wang Yan smiled, "I am more concerned about whether you washed your face that day?"

"What else are you going to say? I let you take advantage of me, you damn scum." Ye Zhenzhen was so angry that she started to punch Wang Yan.

Just as the two were playing around, the door of 2202 opened and Zhu Zhe walked out with his younger brother, sister and others.

She said, "Zhenzhen, Wang Yan, thank you for coming here so late."

Ye Zhenzhen said: "Nothing, I can't sleep anyway, so it's nice to go out for a walk. Isn't it?"

"She's right." Wang Yan nodded in agreement and said, "Shall we go now?"

So everyone took the elevator to the underground parking lot. Wang Yan drove the S8 and took Zhu Zhe and her younger brother and sister, while Ye Zhenzhen drove her car and took Zhu Zhe's younger brother's girlfriend and his girlfriend's mother.

On the way, Zhu Zhe continued to deceive his brothers and sisters, which made her feel very poor. Although her brothers and sisters restrained themselves in front of Wang Yan, an outsider, they were not polite and complained about Zhu Zhe.

Even at night, the traffic volume in Shanghai is quite huge. The generally late working hours and the rich nightlife in the metropolis have caused this situation.

So we drove for more than half an hour before we finally arrived at the destination.

While waiting for Zhu Zhe to take his people away, Wang Yan said to Ye Zhenzhen, "Don't you have to go to work tomorrow? Go back first. I'll wait for Zhu Zhe and take her back."

"You're sensible." Ye Zhenzhen yawned and got into the car. "Then I'll leave Gigi to you. I'm going to go back to sleep. I may have to work all night tomorrow, so I need to get enough rest." "Let's go. Drive slowly and be careful."

Wang Yan helped to close the car door, and Ye Zhenzhen waved her hand, put the car in gear and left.

He lit a cigarette, sat in the driver's seat, sent a message to Zhu Zhe, and then listened to music and played with his mobile phone.

About twenty minutes later, Zhu Zhe opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"Thank you, Wang Yan. It's so late. I'm sorry to bother you to come here."

"You said this before you came." Seeing that she had fastened her seat belt, Wang Yan shifted gears and drove onto the road, heading back to Ode to Joy.

In the car, Zhu Zhe was very silent and sad.

Wang Yan smiled and said, "I'm not in a good mood."

"It's a wonder they can get a high school degree. You've heard me all along. I worked hard and saved money to send them to college, but they still ask me for money in secret. Although I thought about it, it still feels very uncomfortable when it really happens. I can't do anything about it.

I can't explain the reason, nor can I talk about money. I still have to fulfill my responsibility to support my parents, and my parents will still favor my brother. My sister still doesn't care about me. What can I do?"

"There is no way, you are bound by family ties. If you want to break away, you have to be a renunciation of all relatives. But your parents finally raised you without any illness or disaster. The conditions back then were indeed like that. If you didn't go out to work, you might have married early. Now that you have experience and culture, you can understand your parents' feudal ideas. Sometimes you feel lucky, after all, there are always many people who are more unfortunate than you.

Complaints are real complaints, understanding is real understanding, and helplessness is real helplessness. It's so contradictory, isn't it? "

"That's right. If my parents abused me, that would be a good thing. I wouldn't have to feel so bad..." Zhu Zhe sighed, feeling helpless.

"There's no way to solve bad things, so it's better not to think about them. Live your life well, that's the most important thing. Come on, smile."

Zhu Zhe looked at Wang Yan with a smile on his face.

"It doesn't look good."

"You are so real."

"You just found out about this?" Wang Yan raised an eyebrow at Zhu Zhe and asked, "By the way, did Chen Zufa harass you again?"

"How dare he? He's scared by your beating." Speaking of Chen Zufa, Zhu Zhe really laughed, "He is now ruining my reputation among my fellow villagers."

"How did it get corrupted?"

"What else can I say? Just say that I'm with a rich man like you and don't recognize old friends. You know what, recently more and more people have called me to borrow money."

"How can this be considered corruption? Am I not a wealthy man? Am I not worthy of your attention?"

Zhu Zhe said with a smile: "Just give up your magical powers. Can I afford to rely on you? Although what Chen Zufa said is unpleasant, it still makes sense."

"What's the reason? I want to change my taste. I'm the kind of person who is irresponsible and dumps people after having fun?"

"I don't deserve it."

"Look, back on that, you just don't have enough confidence in yourself. You are no worse than others. Don't always dwell on your education, diploma, age, marital status, and your progress step by step to where you are today, and the skills you have acquired over the years allow you to deal with many situations. You have to be confident that you are a strong person."

Zhu Zhe laughed when he heard this: "Has anyone ever told you that you can make a lot of money by being a success lecturer?"

"You've already said that? I haven't even used my power yet." Wang Yan said, "Do you want me to talk to Chen Zufa again?"

"No, it won't have any big impact."

Just like that, the two of them chatted and laughed and replied to Ode to Joy. Zhu Zhe's mood was not so bad. She was a person who could adjust herself, not to mention that there was Wang Yan as the audience...

It was another Saturday, and Ye Zhenzhen slept until she woke up naturally, feeling very happy. The only bad thing was that she dreamed of a bad guy again yesterday.

She picked up her phone and saw that David had sent many messages early in the morning. She replied to one and the other party replied almost immediately.

The two chatted for a few minutes on the phone. David said he had something to talk to Ye Zhenzhen about, and asked for Ye Zhenzhen's address. He bought breakfast and came over, and talked while eating. Ye Zhenzhen did not refuse.

Not long after, David came in a taxi, bought a bouquet of flowers on the way, and bought a meal at the breakfast shop outside the community. He found 2203 and rang the doorbell.

Ye Zhenzhen, who had already washed up and was wearing home clothes, opened the door, took the flowers, and then turned back: "Come in, you are looking for me so early in the morning, what's the matter?"

"Hey, do you think my appearance has recovered to 90% now?"

“Can appearance be used to make a living?”

"Yes, why not? Oh, that's not right..."

David, who was looking around the room, reacted and put his breakfast on the kitchen island. He looked straight at Ye Zhenzhen with his eyes behind his glasses and asked curiously, "I say, is this still the Yan Zhengyi I know? Why do I seem to not recognize him? What, has he changed his personality and doesn't like handsome men anymore?"

Ye Zhenzhen smiled and said, "I mean you are a little shameless."

"I didn't talk to you much when I came back last time, but now I realize that you have changed a lot in the past few years."

"Is it possible that you're not handsome enough?"

"How is that possible?" David said firmly, "No matter if it's a man or a woman, whenever they look in the mirror, they will think they are handsome and beautiful. I admit that there are handsome men and handsome women, but I'm not bad either, okay? These years, I've been approached by people wherever I go."

"And then? Are there any erotic and beautiful encounter stories?"

"I told you last time that when I was playing outside, I was so exhausted that I didn't have the energy to think about anything like that."

"Who knows?" Ye Zhenzhen said, "Tell me what you want from me. Hey, didn't you have breakfast?"

David laughed and said, "Why else would I buy so much?"

"Then let's eat together and tell me your story."

"It's like this. I wrote a novel on the Internet, and I didn't expect it to be a big hit. Now the editor of the website wants to sign a contract with me. But I don't want to expose myself. So I want you to take me and sign a contract with them under your name."

"Hehe..." Ye Zhenzhen smiled at David, then her face turned serious, "No!"

"Why?"

David anxiously explained various reasons, saying that he couldn't bring himself to admit that he was a homebody who was typing away at home, that Ye Zhenzhen had studied abroad and had just returned to China, and that she was a researcher at a research institute, so she met all the requirements, and that he had to save face. If someone discovered that Ye Zhenzhen was an imposter, he could still ensure that he would not be exposed, and so on...

Seeing Ye Zhenzhen laughing, David also smiled and said, "Do you agree?"

"No."

"Why?"

  "You can't lose face, but you still have to save face? I don't understand why it has become a shameful thing. If you feel ashamed, why do you write it? At worst, can't you just not sign the contract? If this platform doesn't let you post it, then go to other platforms to post it. Don't you want people to see it? It's enough for people to see it, why do you care whether there is a contract or not?

They also said that I am a scientific researcher, which fits the character of a stay-at-home person. Brother, I am very busy, okay? I don’t have the time, nor the leisure. Speaking of the issue of identity exposure, what is it that I said I am a woman and it is impossible for me to write a stallion novel? Then there are still rotten girls’ novels? Aren’t there homosexuals? Aren’t there people who go to clubs to find ducks?

  And I am a scientific researcher. If people know about this, how will they look at me? Not my peers, but netizens. They will think, how can a scientific researcher have so much free time? How can he write a novel while getting paid and not working?

If they find out that I am from a wealthy second-generation family, wouldn't that be even worse? They would think that everything I do is funded by my family, and I am just sitting there doing nothing. That would not be a good thing for me or my family. If I don't admit it, it doesn't mean I wrote it? It's not that easy. No one knows how this kind of thing will develop, and it's even harder to explain.

Besides, it's not necessary for me to do it. I definitely won't do it, so you should just give up on it and find someone else."

Ye Zhenzhen stated the reasons for her refusal very clearly, understandably and directly, and made a decision that was different from the original drama.

Just as Ye Zhenzhen said, David's reasons were full of loopholes.

This is understandable and can be explained. David wanted to establish a connection with Ye Zhenzhen and wanted to get closer to her, but he couldn't find any other reasonable excuses. This happened, so he just said it out loud.

In the original drama, Ye Zhenzhen agreed, obviously because she didn't dislike it and didn't care about those things. But why did IQ take the upper hand now, why didn't she agree? This is obvious.

David wisely stopped pestering me, and just looked pitiful: "Well, okay. Since you don't want to, I can't force you. It's a pity that such a handsome and sunny sporty boy like me will be regarded as a nerd who stays at home and codes. All the boasts I made in the past will also be exposed."

"What's there to expose? After all, these are your real experiences. I really don't understand what you are thinking. It feels very hypocritical."

"Well, I'm such a strong man, but you call me hypocritical. I'd better not say anything. Do you have anything to do today?"

"I ran a half marathon yesterday afternoon and I plan to take a break today. What's the matter?"

"It's okay. I'm free anyway, so I thought I'd go out for a walk with you. I guess you haven't been around Shanghai much since you came back to China. It's a good opportunity for us to keep each other company and get familiar with the environment. But since you want to rest, forget it. We'll talk about it another day."

Ye Zhenzhen shook her head and smiled: "Actually there's nothing to see. I occasionally drive out for a spin. There's nothing interesting about driving aimlessly."

"What can you look at while driving? Just the cars. It's so congested. You still have to be down-to-earth, visit different places, and try different foods. I found a noodle shop two days ago. The pork liver noodles are really delicious. Oh, yes, I'll share it with you. Go try it when you have time. It's absolutely delicious. You can't eat these abroad."

"That's true. I was forced to learn how to cook. Can you believe it?"

"You make it sound like I can't do that." David sighed and said, "How about we make an appointment for next week?"

"What?"

"Chongming Island is great. It's the mouth of the Yangtze River and has been developed for many years. I think the scenery is great. Let's go for a run, ride a bike, watch the sunset, have a barbecue, and drink some beer. How relaxing it is. What do you think?"

Ye Zhenzhen's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly: "That's a good idea."

"Then you see, how can I not understand you?"

Glancing at him, Ye Zhenzhen said, "But it would be a bit boring if it's just the two of us. And I'm not sure if I'll have time next week."

"Then put it in the plan first, and you can find some people. I just came back, and after all these years, I really don't have many friends in China. I'll ask you again on Friday. If you have time, let's go there on Saturday. Stay there for one night and come back on Sunday. Wake up and go to work refreshed, isn't that wonderful?"

"It's really beautiful." Ye Zhenzhen smiled, "Okay, that's it, I'll tell you on Friday whether you want to go or not."
