Hearing this, Jiang Zhirou's eyes instantly lit up. "Really?"
"You said so. You're not allowed to go back on your word!"
Both the front and back yards of Yue Lan were filled with iris flowers planted by Si Moshen. She really couldn't figure out when Si Moshen had become interested in planting flowers.
Previously, she had wanted Si Moshen to clear out the back yard.
Now, before she even had the chance to speak up, seeing Si Moshen bring it up on his own initiative, Jiang Zhirou was of course delighted.
"Really." Si Moshen nodded and said to her with a smile.
Chi Yu, standing not far away, watched this scene in front of him. It was as if his feet were being held down by a huge rock. Clearly wanting to step forward and hug the person in his arms, to tell her that he was wrong. But now he just couldn't move his feet. He could only stand there in the distance, watching the intimate interactions between Jiang Zhirou and Si Moshen like a bystander.
Having received the confirmation, Jiang Zhirou was obviously in a much better mood than before. She no longer cared about the fact that Si Moshen had sent people to follow her. She turned around and was about to walk into the house.
Turning around, she finally noticed Chi Yu standing in the distance.
Jiang Zhirou suddenly met Chi Yu's gaze, and her steps involuntarily paused.
The man in front of her looked as if he had been chased by a ghost. His hair was in a mess, and a large part of his clothes was obviously soaked with sweat.
Since when did Si Moshen start letting poverty - alleviation objects into Yue Lan?
Just as Jiang Zhirou was feeling puzzled, suddenly a large, warm palm landed on her shoulder.
Immediately afterwards, Si Moshen's voice came from above her head.
"Zhi Zhi, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Chi Yu."
"Although Mr. Chi is not very old, he has made great achievements. He was once a well - known figure on Wall Street."
Hearing Si Moshen's words, Jiang Zhirou nodded in understanding.
She couldn't help but feel apologetic for the little wild thoughts she had just had in her mind. She nodded at Chi Yu distantly and politely.
"Hello, Mr. Chi."
Mr. Chi...
She had never called him like this before...
Hearing these three words, Chi Yu's heart felt as if it was being tightly grasped by something. His fingers curled up involuntarily, and his eyes stared at the woman without blinking.
Jiang Zhirou didn't like this kind of impolite staring. She felt a bit uncomfortable and couldn't help but frown. She turned to look at Si Moshen beside her.
"I'll go into the house first. I won't disturb your work."
After saying that, Jiang Zhirou didn't look at Chi Yu again. She turned around and quickly left the front yard.
Chi Yu stood there, his eyes always following Jiang Zhirou's figure. It was not until she was completely out of sight that he slowly withdrew his gaze.
Seeing this, Si Moshen stepped forward.
"I've said that she doesn't remember you."
Chi Yu lifted his eyes and looked at Si Moshen. "I don't care what you've done to her, but I will definitely make her remember."
As soon as the words were out, Si Moshen's look at Chi Yu became a bit more inquisitive. "Chi Yu, she is no longer the Chen Qingmian you liked. She is Jiang Zhirou - my fiancée."
"Bullshit!" Chi Yu's eyes were bloodshot. The hand hanging by his leg was tightly clenched into a fist, as if it would land on Si Moshen's face the next second.
"What fiancée! Did she say she would marry you?!"
"Unless she tells me personally that she wants to marry you, otherwise I won't leave."
Chi Yu had lived for almost thirty years, and this was the first time he was so overbearing and stubborn about staying in someone else's house.
Si Moshen stared at him for a while, then suddenly said, "Chi Yu, how about we make a deal?"
Chi Yu didn't say a word. His look at Si Moshen was filled with a bit of defensiveness.
Si Moshen didn't mind. He just continued on his own.
"You have a one - month deadline. If you can't make Zhi Zhi fall in love with you again within a month, from then on, you're not allowed to appear in her life for any reason. On the contrary, if you succeed, from then on, I won't interfere in anything about her anymore, and I won't appear in front of her either."
Si Moshen looked at Chi Yu calmly. "Do you dare to take this deal?"
Chi Yu bit his lips.
To be honest, he wasn't sure if he could make Jiang Zhirou fall in love with him within a month.
He hadn't forgotten the look in Jiang Zhirou's eyes when she looked at him just now.
It was completely the look of looking at a stranger.
Full of defensiveness and aloofness.
How could he be sure to make this kind of Jiang Zhirou fall in love with him?
His eyes moved on Si Moshen.
Although he didn't know what Si Moshen was up to, if he didn't accept this deal, he would have to leave Yue Lan today.
Seeing that Chi Yu didn't say a word, Si Moshen was just about to turn around and leave when the man's voice suddenly rang out.
"Deal."
Si Moshen paused in his steps but didn't turn back. "Uncle Shen will take you to your room later. You only have one month. Once the deadline is up, you must leave, whether you succeed or not."
At this point, Si Moshen paused for a moment, and then suddenly said, "I wish you success."
Then he took a step forward again and left the front yard.
After Jiang Zhirou returned to her bedroom, she took a shower and then lay on the bed.
Unconsciously, Chi Yu's face flashed through her mind.
For some reason, she always felt that she had seen this person somewhere.
But no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't remember.
"Forget it. I won't think about it anymore." Jiang Zhirou shook her head, trying to shake Chi Yu's figure out of her mind.
Jiang Zhirou got up from the bed and wanted to go downstairs to ask Si Moshen if there was any new clue about the black - robed man.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Chi Yu standing outside the bedroom next to hers, his hand on the doorknob, about to push the door open.
Jiang Zhirou's steps instantly stopped. Her eyes were filled with defensiveness as she looked at Chi Yu.
"What are you sneaking around here for?"
"The security in Yue Lan is very strict. You won't be able to run away even if you steal something. I advise you not to have any funny ideas."
Chi Yu was also stunned for a moment when he saw Jiang Zhirou.
He never expected that Si Moshen would arrange his bedroom next to Jiang Zhirou's.
Nor did he expect that Jiang Zhirou would mistake him for a thief.
He was indeed a bit of a mess today, but he wasn't that much of a thief - looking person, was he?
Looking at Jiang Zhirou's look of a righteous hero, Chi Yu felt as if he had returned to the old days when they used to play around with each other. The corner of his lips involuntarily curled up.
Seeing him smile, Jiang Zhirou became even more vigilant. She took a step back silently. "What are you laughing at!"
"If you don't leave, I'll call someone."
As soon as the words were out, just as Chi Yu was about to speak, Uncle Shen's voice rang out before him.
The man didn't know when he had come upstairs. He walked in Jiang Zhirou's direction while explaining.
"Miss Zhirou, Mr. Chi will be staying in Yue Lan for a month. This is the room arranged by the master. I haven't had the chance to tell you yet, so there has been such a big misunderstanding."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhirou's face instantly turned red.
She had mistaken Si Moshen's business partner for a thief!
It was so embarrassing.
Jiang Zhirou's previous bravado disappeared in an instant. She said stubbornly, "Y - you should have said so earlier. I got it!"
After saying that, she immediately turned around and slammed the bedroom door shut.
