Chapter 147 The hatred she carried was greater than we imagined.
After Tan Haoyu and Zhu Ziqing left the psychological clinic, the office door was pushed open again.
A woman walked out from inside. She looked somewhat like Xiao Xingyi, and her eyes and brows exuded a cold and beautiful aura.
She watched Zhu Ziqing's retreating figure and sighed deeply: "Brother, is that the second daughter of the Zhu family?"
Xiao Xingyi nodded, a hint of emotion in his voice: "Yes, I didn't expect to see her here."
A complex look flashed in her younger sister's eyes as she whispered, "There's a lot hidden in her eyes."
Xiao Xingyi smiled, his tone carrying a deeper meaning: "Yes, hatred, pain... she carries more than we can imagine."
The younger sister was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Brother, are you planning to help her?"
Xiao Xingyi's gaze deepened, a hint of amusement in his voice: "Help? Perhaps. But I'd rather see how far she can go."
The younger sister frowned, a hint of worry in her voice: "Brother, don't play with fire. The matter between the Zhu family and the Wan family is no joke."
Xiao Xingyi smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
……
Zhu Ziqing pushed open the door to the room, her steps were a little heavy, but she had a relaxed smile on her face.
Tan Haoyu immediately came forward, his eyes full of concern: "Ziqing, how are you? Are you feeling better?"
Zhu Ziqing looked up and smiled, feigning ease: "Yes, Dr. Xiao is very professional. I feel much better after our consultation. However, his fees are really expensive, so you'll have to pay for me."
Hearing her relaxed tone, a hint of relief flashed in Tan Haoyu's eyes.
He gently ruffled her hair, his tone indulgent: "Okay, as long as you're happy, any amount of money is worth it."
Zhu Ziqing's heart trembled slightly as she felt the warmth of his palm, and a warm current surged through her heart.
She knew that Tan Haoyu genuinely cared about her.
Zhu Ziqing gently tugged at Tan Haoyu's sleeve, her tone slightly coquettish: "Haoyu, I'm a little hungry. Could you ask Aunt Chen to prepare something to eat?"
Tan Haoyu glanced down at her and said gently, "Okay, I'll have her prepare it right away."
Zhu Ziqing nodded, but her gaze unconsciously drifted back to what she had discussed with Xiao Xingyi that afternoon.
She didn't want Tan Haoyu to have too much involvement with Xiao Xingyi.
In her heart, Tan Haoyu was a sunny and upright man who should not be influenced by her revenge plans.
After Tan Haoyu left, Zhu Ziqing sat alone in the room, gazing out the window, her heart filled with unease.
"Xiao Xingyi...who exactly is he? Why would he mention the Wan family's illegitimate son?" Zhu Ziqing's heart was filled with doubt and vigilance.
She knew her revenge plan was fraught with danger, but she had no other choice.
"Haoyu, I'm sorry... This time, I have to go on my own." Zhu Ziqing thought to herself, a resolute look flashing in her eyes.
Tan Haoyu walked in at this moment and looked at Zhu Ziqing, who was deep in thought.
He glanced at her sideways and asked gently, "Ziqing, what are you thinking about?"
Zhu Ziqing snapped out of her daze and forced a smile: "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."
Tan Haoyu gently held her hand, his tone firm: "Don't worry, I'm here."
Zhu Ziqing leaned on his shoulder, but her heart was far from calm.
The next day, Tan Haoyu got up early as usual.
After returning from Xiao Xingyi's place, Zhu Ziqing's mental state improved significantly.
Her appetite returned, she started to smile, and she even took the initiative to talk to Tan Haoyu.
"Haoyu, today's breakfast is delicious. Aunt Chen's cooking skills are getting better and better," Zhu Ziqing said with a smile while eating a fried egg.
Tan Haoyu looked at her, his eyes full of relief: "I'm glad you like it. I'm relieved to see that your appetite has improved recently."
Zhu Ziqing nodded, her tone relaxed: "Yes, it's probably because of Dr. Xiao's psychological counseling. I feel much more relaxed now."
Tan Haoyu gently ruffled her hair, his tone indulgent: "That's good. As long as you're happy, I'm relieved."
Zhu Ziqing's heart trembled slightly as she felt his concern, and a warm feeling welled up inside her.
She knew that Tan Haoyu truly loved her.
However, Zhu Ziqing harbored a secret.
She decided to take action, targeting Wan and Zhu Shigou.
"I will get back everything they owe me," Zhu Ziqing thought to herself, a cold glint in her eyes.
She took out her phone, found a phone number, paused her finger on the screen for a moment, and finally pressed the dial button.
"Beep—beep—" The sound of the phone connecting rang in her ears, and Zhu Ziqing's heart began to beat faster.
She knew that once she dialed that number, there would be no turning back.
"Hello, who is this?" A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone.
Zhu Ziqing took a deep breath and said calmly, "It's me, Zhu Ziqing. I need your help."
The other party hummed in agreement and then hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, Tan Haoyu was preparing to go out on business.
He walked up to Zhu Ziqing and said gently, "Ziqing, I have something to take care of today. Shall we have dinner together tonight?"
Zhu Ziqing looked up, a faint smile on her face: "Okay, you go ahead and do your work, I'll wait for you at home."
Tan Haoyu nodded and gently kissed her forehead: "Then I'm leaving. Call me if you need anything."
Zhu Ziqing watched him leave, but her heart was filled with unease.
She knew that her plan had begun, but the road ahead was fraught with unknown dangers.
……
Tan Haoyu's car was parked in front of the Sunshine Group building.
As soon as he got out of the car, he was surrounded by a group of people and walked into the building.
Just then, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
"Haoyu... no, Muzhi, can you give me a few minutes?" Zhu Yahan stood in front of him, her tone filled with a hint of nervousness and anticipation.
Tan Haoyu frowned slightly, his tone indifferent: "Miss Zhu, is there something you need?"
A hint of disappointment flashed in Zhu Yahan's eyes as she whispered, "Muzhi, I know there's been some misunderstanding between us. I left you back then because I thought you didn't care about me. But... but I found out you married Zhu Ziqing, and she looks so much like me... Do you... still have feelings for me?"
Tan Haoyu's gaze turned cold, his tone carrying a hint of aloofness: "Miss Zhu, I think you've misunderstood. I married Ziqing because I love her. As for you... it's all over between us long ago."
Zhu Yahan's face turned pale instantly, and her voice trembled: "Muzhi, please don't do this... I know you still have feelings for me, otherwise you wouldn't have married someone who looks so much like me..."
A hint of impatience flashed in Tan Haoyu's eyes, and his tone was icy: "Miss Zhu, I hope you understand that my wife is Zhu Ziqing, and that will never change."
