After leaving Ling Yiheng's room, Mika came to Strasbourg, partly because she wanted to take a walk, partly because she had just heard that the Eyre was a beautiful place, and partly because it was a tourist attraction in France.
She arrived in Strasbourg in the evening and had dinner alone in a restaurant by the Eyre River.
He looked at his phone and received a few greetings from his aunt, but he couldn't find the person he was waiting for.
Ye Zichen smiled wryly, then put down the phone.
Indeed, big brother Yi Heng wouldn't take the initiative to look for her.
As she walked along the river, her mind was filled with memories of her past with Ling Yiheng. Those intimate memories seemed to have occurred only yesterday, but in fact, many years had passed.
If only he could go back in time and stay where he was, if only he could be so good to her.
She turned her gaze to the source of the voice and saw a familiar figure walking towards her.
"Scholar?" Mika couldn't help but yell out, thinking that she had seen wrongly.
It wasn't until Zuo Zixian lifted his head to look for the source of the sound that Mika was sure it was her.
"Mika, why are you here?"
She was obviously surprised to see Mika in Strasbourg. However, thinking of her and Ling Yiheng, he could roughly guess that they were probably here to find Ling Yiheng.
The smile on her face was mixed with embarrassment, and Mika invited her to take a walk with her.
"Zhi Wu, why did you come out from the intermediary position?" Mika suddenly asked, a look of surprise flashing through her eyes, but she didn't show it.
Zuo Zixian was stunned, he didn't expect Mika to see him coming out from the agency.
Seeing that she looked embarrassed, Mika immediately thought of what had happened in Boston, and with her intelligence she quickly guessed.
"Zhi Wu, did you encounter some difficulty?" she asked, her voice full of genuine concern.
Zuo Zizhi silently bit his lip, wanting to hide something, but he didn't know what to say.
"Zhi Wu, if you still treat me as a friend, just tell me if you have any difficulties, at least I can help you think of a way."
Hearing Mika's words, Zuo Zixian hesitated for a moment, but he still told her about the trouble the winery was facing. He didn't hide the fact that he wanted to sell the house to save the winery.
In her heart, Mika had helped her friend in any way, so she was willing to tell her about herself.
"You want to sell the house? Does your parents know such a big thing? " Mika looked at Zuo Zixian in astonishment, unable to believe her decision.
Zuo Zixian smiled bitterly, "You also know about my dad's condition, my mom is still taking care of him in America, how can I let them worry about him at a time like this?"
Mika was stunned, seeing the worry in Zuo Ziqian's eyes, but then she smiled, "Zixian, why don't I help you, how much do you need?"
Although her family didn't have the background of Ling Yiheng's family, they still had a certain status in the business world, so it wasn't difficult for her to take out some money.
Besides, she had her plan.
Zuo Zixian looked at Mika's sincere face, wanted to refuse but couldn't say it out, so he blurted out, "About ten million dollars."
"A dollar?" "Okay, I can give it to you in about three days."
"Really? Mika! Thank you so much! "I, I don't even know how to thank you, but don't worry, I will definitely return the loan agreement to you as soon as possible!"
Zuo Zixian did not think his father's old friends who had known him for many years would refuse to lend him so much money, but Mika, who had only known him for a few months, would be so generous.
While this made her feel grateful, it also deepened her guilt toward Mika.
Ling Yiheng was her fiance, how could he snatch away her beloved?
Silently, he made up his mind that he must think of a way to get rid of the relationship between him and Ling Yiheng.
"Zhi Wu, no need to be polite, we are good friends, if anything happens to you, I will definitely not sit by and do nothing." However … I also have a favor that I want you to help me with. "
A light flashed in Zuo Ziqian's eyes, seeing the cautious look on Mika's face, there was confusion in his eyes.
Without waiting for her to ask, Mika opened her mouth and spoke. Her words made Zuo Zixian feel as if someone poured a bucket of ice water over his head, instantly draining half of the gratitude he had towards her from the bottom of his heart.
"That's right …" Can you please don't see Yi Heng again? " Mike said with some difficulty.
In fact, she knew that this request was unreasonable, but Ling Yiheng's attitude towards her had already reached the point of refusing her at a thousand miles away. If she continued to let him and Zuo Zixian develop, she would definitely be the one out.
She also didn't want things to turn out like this, but she couldn't lose Ling Yiheng, her fiancé.
Zuo Zixian lowered his ghostly eyes and silently replied, "Mika, I... I can guarantee that I will never take the initiative to see Ling Yiheng. "But, it's not like you don't know what sort of character he has, I …"
She almost couldn't hold it in and wanted to tell him about the deal she had made with Ling Yiheng. However, in the end, she managed to hold it in.
If Mika knew that she was involved with Ling Yiheng for such a reason, it would only make things more chaotic and complicated. Therefore, he might as well choose to remain silent.
Mika pursed her lips, her eyes filled with tears, "You mean Yinheng is wooing you?"
Although she had already seen through Ling Yiheng's actions, as well as the small details between him and Zuo Ziqian, she still couldn't believe that her fiance would do such a thing behind her back.
She even thought that even if they rarely met, he would at least treat her as his fiancée and safeguard the marriage agreement between them.
However, when the undisguised reality was placed before her, she discovered that the marriage contract was actually so laughable. It wasn't as indestructible as she had once thought.
Zuo Zixian didn't say anything. She was thought to be tacitly agreeing with Mika, but she just didn't know how to answer.
The two of them faced each other, but did not speak for a long time. One of them didn't know what to say, while the other was sad and angry. He couldn't say anything for a while.
"Mika, I really don't know how to tell you about Ling Yiheng. But you can ask him, I can't explain all this. "
After a long while, Zuo Zisheng finally said these words.
Mika's eyes were misty and her nose was sniffing. She wanted to say something, but Zuo Zixian said: "I will take care of my family matters. You don't have to worry about it. Thank you. Rest assured, I will definitely not take the initiative to look for Ling Yiheng. I do not wish to disrupt your relationship. "
With that, Zuo Ziqian pursed his lips, and with a dull expression, he passed Mika and left her side.
Looking at the disappearing figure of Zuo Zixian from afar, Mika stood on the spot with a complicated look in her eyes.
At this moment, the phone in her handbag rang. She happily took out the phone, thinking that it was Ling Yiheng calling.
But when he turned on the screen, it said Aunt Jane.
Mika picked up the phone with a sense of loss but tried to sound happy.
"Hello, Auntie, what can I do for you?"
On the other end, Luo Yunjie seemed to be in a good mood, but upon hearing Mika's question, she couldn't help but tease, "What's wrong? "You played so much in France with Yiheng that I couldn't even find you to say a few words, could I?"
Hearing her mention Ling Yiheng, Mika's heart dropped as well. The happiness she had built up with great difficulty was extinguished, and her voice became a little hoarse.
"No, Auntie, I wanted to call you later. Oh right, do you want me to bring you a present? "
Luo Yunjie had grown up with Mika and had long treated her like her own daughter, so she knew her well. Hearing her voice, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"I don't want any presents. It's not like I haven't been to France. But what's the matter with you? Do you want to tell your aunt? "
Hearing Luo Yunjie's serious question, Mika was a bit shocked. She stuttered as she replied, "I, I'm fine."
However, how could this kind of arrogant tone be able to hide from Luo Yunjie, who knew everything about her?
"Darling, tell me, did something happen between Yiheng and you?"
Upon hearing Luo Yunjie call him "darling", Mika knew something was wrong. Usually, at times like this, Luo Yunjie would never stop until she had achieved her goal.
She had no choice but to tell him that Ling Yiheng wanted to break the engagement with her. It was just that she had hidden the part about him and Zuo Zixian.
She didn't want her aunt to think that Ling Yiheng was a distracted man who would affect their marriage. Furthermore, she had been unwilling to believe that there was anything between Zuo Zizhen and Ling Yiheng, so she had purposely avoided this matter.
Hearing Mika's words, Luo Yunjie was unexpectedly calm. It was not like what Mika thought before, she would be shocked or even feel injustice for her.
Luo Yunjie was silent for a long time, then she let out a faint sigh and whispered into Mika's ear, "Child, everything is fine, you just don't know how to hold a man's heart."
"Ah?" "What?" Mika thought she had misheard and wasn't prepared for what she said.
"I say, you don't know how to get along with your fiancé, don't you? Actually, I had already expected this to happen. "
Hearing Luo Yunjie's knowing tone, she was even more astonished. "Auntie, you knew from the beginning that Big Brother Yi Heng wanted to break off the engagement with me?"
But if her aunt knew, why hadn't she told her earlier?
"Of course, it's just that you don't understand. I thought you would slowly grow, but I didn't expect you to have no improvements at all." Your years of reading have been wasted. " Luo Yunjie had a look of sorrow and anger in her tone.
Mika frowned. "Aunt, what do you mean? "Then what should I do now?"
Luo Yunjie almost vomited blood on the spot. She didn't know how, as a myriad of men were mesmerized by her, she was able to bring up such a white-eyed niece.
