The super rich starts with the self-discipline challenge

Chapter 184 Secret
"I...have eaten."

Shi Xiuhe looked at Zhong Yun sitting opposite her, her eyes moistened. When she received his call just now, she felt a sense of unreality.

Now, hearing him ask her in a calm tone, "Have you eaten?"

It's like a dream.

Her voice was choked up.

Zhong Yun nodded and continued eating. He finished the rice in the bowl in two or three bites, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, then picked up the water cup and took a sip.

Then he said, "You can tell me now, what do you want to tell me?"

Shi Xiuhe had imagined this scene countless times, but when it came to the point, the only words on her lips were, "I'm sorry."

Zhong Yun asked, "Anything else?"

Shi Xiuhe said, "I didn't expect my parents would do that, I..."

Zhong Yun didn't want to hear her say this, so he asked a sharp question, "Then let me ask you, why didn't you resist at the time? Afterwards, when the police came, you didn't explain. How can I believe that you didn't do it on purpose?"

"I……"

Shi Xiuhe was a little speechless and stammered, "I really didn't intend to harm you..."

It's that rhetoric again.

Zhong Yun interrupted her and said calmly, "If you just want to atone for what happened before, fine. If you want to pay back the money, I have no objection. But please don't disturb my life anymore, okay?"

"When you see me in the future, just pretend you don't know me. Don't come and pester me like you did today. It's ugly. Let's save some dignity for each other."

That was all he had to say, and he stood up to leave.

When Shi Xiuhe saw him leaving, she felt anxious and stood up suddenly, blurting out, "Because I like you!"

Zhong Yun was stunned and looked at her with strange eyes.

As soon as the words came out, Shi Xiuhe felt a strong sense of shame, and her face felt like it was on fire. However, since she had said it, she decided to just let it go. "I have always liked you, since junior high school. I know this is wrong, but I just can't control myself."

"I just wanted to keep this relationship deep in my heart and silently wish you and my sister the best. Until that night, when you hugged me, my mind went blank..."

Shi Xiuhe wiped her tears while speaking, "I didn't dare to make a sound, I was afraid that you would scold me after you found out that I was not your sister..."

"Then, the lights in the room were suddenly turned on and my parents appeared. I was shocked."

"You asked me why I didn't explain to the police? I didn't dare. I didn't dare to say I liked you in front of my parents and my sister."

"I really didn't expect things to become so serious. The next day, my parents sent me back to my grandfather's house. Later I found out that you almost went to jail, and my parents asked your family for so much money..."

"It's all my fault. Because of my selfishness, you almost went to jail and your family spent so much money. You and my sister couldn't get married. You were misunderstood by so many people and you dared not go back to your hometown..."

Shi Xiuhe choked with sobs, "So, you hate me, ignore me, even if you beat me and scold me, I don't blame you. This is what I deserve."

After hearing her words, Zhong Yun felt a little complicated.

To be honest, it's not that he hadn't thought about this possibility, but he thought it was a bit absurd. In comparison, it was more convincing that she had deliberately set up a trap at the instruction of her parents.

Zhong Yun silently took out two tissues and handed them over. Looking at Shi Xiuhe who was crying, he recalled many of the times they spent together in the past.

He made some kind of decision in his mind and said, "Actually, you don't have to blame yourself."

"Do you know why I have been afraid to go home in the past two years? I changed all my contact information and dared not contact my old friends and relatives. I went to a place where no one knows me and started over again."

"Because I am too embarrassed to see them."

Zhong Yun pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. When he was about to light it, he realized that this was a public place, so he held back and put down the light.

He looked at the water glass in front of him and said, "That night, I really didn't realize it was you at first. Your sister and I hadn't been intimate for a long time, and I had drunk a lot of wine, so I didn't know it was your sister. But -"

"Later, I woke up. When my hand reached into your clothes, I knew it wasn't your sister, so it could only be you. But I didn't stop..."

When Shi Xiuhe heard this, she became gradually shocked.

Zhong Yun said self-deprecatingly, "At that time, your sister was always at odds with me and we were in a cold war. I was actually angry. At that time, I was thinking about taking revenge on her."

"Besides, I was full of blood and energy at that time, and I had been holding it in for too long. I couldn't control myself in that situation. So -"

He let out a long sigh and said, "I can lie to others, but I can't lie to myself. Of course I hate you, your sister, and your parents. But I also hate myself. This is my own fault. I don't have the face to see them." After Zhong Yun spoke out the secret hidden in his heart, he felt much more relaxed. Finally, he looked at the dazed Shi Xiuhe and said, "So, you don't have to blame yourself too much. In the final analysis, it was me who couldn't control myself."

"From now on, you don't need to work so hard to make money to pay me back. That's it."

He had said everything he needed to say and stood up to leave.

Suddenly, he felt his waist tighten, and Shi Xiuhe hugged him from behind, holding his waist tightly.

No, what else do you want?

She said in a tearful voice, "I know you said these things to make me stop blaming myself, right?"

"..."

Zhong Yun never expected that she would say such a thing.

Are you serious?

The next moment, he felt a warm sensation on his back, and heard her choking and saying, "Brother-in-law, does this mean that you have forgiven me?"

Zhong Yun felt something was wrong. There was something wrong with her mental state.

"Release your hands first."

He wanted to say something to her, but suddenly his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Secretary Yao calling, "Brother Yun, when will you return to the company?"

He said, “It will take about an hour.”

"Then hurry up."

After he hung up the phone, he said to Shi Xiuhe, "I still have work to do, so I have to leave."

She said hurriedly, "Then go and do your work, don't worry about me."

After Zhong Yun left, she also went back to school. When she returned to the dormitory, Zhao Sumei rushed over and asked, "How is it?"

"Meimei!"

Shi Xiuhe hugged her, crying and laughing, "He forgave me."

"Really? That's great."

When Zhao Sumei heard this, she was also happy for her.

To be honest, she felt that her best friend was almost going insane because of this matter. It was a good thing that she could finally untie this knot.

She asked, "What did he say?"

Shi Xiuhe was about to speak, but when she looked at the time, she exclaimed, "Oh, it's almost two o'clock. I have to go."

"Wait a minute."

Zhao Sumei pulled her back and said, "Hasn't he forgiven you? You don't have to go to work, right?"

Their class happened to have no classes this afternoon, and as long as there were no classes, Xiuhe would go to work.

Shi Xiuhe said seriously, "He has forgiven me, so I will work harder to make money and pay back the money I owe to his family as soon as possible. I am leaving now."

"..."

Zhao Sumei couldn’t understand why she had to pay back the money since the other person had already forgiven her?
PS: Maybe I am a bit of a literary youth.

In the initial character design, Shi Xiuhe and Meng Jiaen were originally one character, but after careful consideration, they felt that this character might not be very likable, so they were split into two.

Later, when writing about Xiu He's role, many readers said that they had no feelings for her. But after so much preparation, it's time to give an explanation.

Before writing this chapter, I was actually a little hesitant. But I still wrote it. I felt like I was sick. I was writing a system story and should pursue excitement, but sometimes I would still be entangled with rationality and write some unpleasant plots.

I would feel really uncomfortable if I didn't write down this kind of bloody plot.

Finally, it has reached 500,000 words. Please give me your monthly votes.
