Please let me see him
"You're not one of the employees here, are you?" The security guard looked me up and down, distrust in his eyes.
"I'm here to do something." I said to the guard who had stopped me.
"What is it?" the security guard asked again.
I glanced at him and didn't answer.
The security guard slanted his eyes at me and pointed to the front desk, "Go over there first."
"Thank you." I nodded and walked towards the reception that he pointed to.
"Hello, I'm here to see Zhou Ze." I said to the pretty receptionist in overalls.
The receptionist looked at me and said, a little awkwardly, "Do you have an appointment?"
"Nope."
"My apologies, Miss. If you don't have an appointment, you are not allowed to see Boss Zhou." The tone of the front desk young lady was as distant as Zhou Ze's, and as haughty as Zhou Ze's, "If possible, please make an appointment and come back later."
I looked at the front desk girl and suddenly smiled. I said, "Please help me tell Zhou Ze that I want to talk about his brother with him."
I stood in front of the receptionist and looked straight at her, hoping she would help me make the call.
Maybe the receptionist realised that I was too insensible, or maybe I really had some background, in the end she still helped me call Zhou Ze's office.
"Miss, what is your name?" the receptionist asked me very politely.
"Xia Ying, thank you." "No," I said.
The front desk miss answered the phone and said, "Boss Zhou, there is a young lady called Xia Ying looking for you." She hesitated, then said, "She wants to talk to you about your brother."
"Alright, I understand." After hanging up, the receptionist looked regretful as she said to me, "I'm sorry, Miss Xia. Boss Zhou said he doesn't know you."
… ….
You are ruthless.
"Thank you." Although his heart already tore Zhou Ze into pieces, his face still carried a smile.
"You're welcome. Please come back after your next appointment." The receptionist said.
No matter how unwilling Zhou Ze was to see me, he would at least leave from here. Even if there were other doors, I would still bump into him if I stayed here for a few more days.
As I thought about it, I thought I must be crazy.
I thought back to the night I was in the hospital when Zhou Jin came looking for me. He told me to give up everything and go with him.
I closed my eyes and thought back to Zhou Jin's expression. Why didn't I notice the despair in his eyes?
In retrospect, the cold liquid that dripped on my face at that time was clearly Zhou Jin's tears.
I wanted to kiss him on the cheek. I wanted to tell him that I wanted to go with him as long as he was okay.
From the moment they started working, I had been sitting on a chair by the front desk. I stayed there until the end of the night and also called Zhou Ze from time to time, even though the only response I got was a busy signal.
Finally, at ten-thirty in the evening, three days later, Zhou Ze stood in front of me.
"How long are you going to wait?" Zhou Ze asked me coldly. He was still wearing the same black suit, so he probably bought dozens of the same suit.
He must have just finished his shift. He looked tired.
"I just want to see Zhou Jin." I looked at him and said, in fact I was very tired these few days, I had always had a hopeless thought, I did not know whether Zhou Ze would let me see Zhou Jin or not.
"Didn't you get rid of him first?" Zhou Ze's tone was full of ridicule.
"I only got rid of him because of you."
After hearing what I said, Zhou Ze's face turned pale white. I think that very few people would speak to him like this on a normal day, but he truly looks like a person now.
Zhou Ze swept a glance at me and went straight out. I was stunned for a moment before I followed him.
I saw him open the door and get in, and I followed him into the passenger seat.
He turned to look at me but didn't push me out of the car.
"How is Zhou Jin?" I asked Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze didn't answer me. Ever since I tried to get rid of him earlier, he had always treated me as air.
I curled my lips in my heart and asked, "Is Zhou Jin awake?" How is he? "
Zhou Ze still did not speak.
I lost interest in talking to him and kept quiet.
I leaned on the car window and turned to look at Zhou Ze. Zhou Ze's face looked very similar to Zhou Jin's, both were very beautiful, not handsome at all.
Zhou Ze tilted his head and looked at me. The disgust in his eyes was extremely obvious. I know I'm the one who hurt his brother.
Zhou Ze brought me to a private hospital. The service and medical standards here are pretty good, but the price is equally high.
Zhou Ze went straight to the top floor, and I also jogged to follow him. He never thought that if he walked slowly, he would modestly give me a hand.
After all, I was the one who hurt his brother so much.
I followed Zhou Ze to the front of a sickroom. I slightly leaned back and let Zhou Ze stand in front of me.
He looked at the door and then opened it, as though he wanted to enter, I followed behind him wanting to enter too, but Zhou Ze stopped me.
"Wait a moment." He turned his head and gave me a complicated look. I think he's hiding something.
I obediently stood by the door and didn't go in. He was the first to walk in. I stood at the door and looked in.
It was already very late, Zhou Jin had already gone to sleep, and the only light in the room was a small night light.
Zhou Ze quietly walked in, he was standing beside Zhou Jin's bed and looking at him. Although I could only see his back for the time being, I didn't know why, but I could feel his love for Zhou Jin.
I looked at him and decided to enter as well. I walked lightly to Zhou Ze's side, and I don't know if it was because my steps were too light, or because Zhou Ze was too engrossed with his thoughts, but when I walked to his side, he found that I had entered.
He frowned at me and motioned me out. I shook my head.
I saw Zhou Jin lying on the sickbed. He was thinner than before, almost out of shape. He was frowning slightly, as if he was experiencing something painful.
Maybe because Zhou Jin felt Zhou Ze and I's gazes on him, he smacked his lips and turned around.
Get out. Zhou Ze used his eyes to signal me. His eyes were ice-cold, and the moment his gaze fell on me, I couldn't help but shiver.
I nodded.
I followed Zhou Ze out of the room, and just as I was about to leave, I looked back at Zhou Jin, she had turned around and I thought that she saw me, but she did not.
"Alright, you've also seen Zhou Jin. In the future, don't ever show up in front of us again." At the corner of the corridor, Zhou Ze said to me with a serious face.
I raised my head to look at Zhou Ze, and the way he looked at me was ice-cold, and his brows were knitted tightly. Ever since he called me to tell me about Zhou Jin committing suicide, I realized that Zhou Ze's attitude towards me had changed.
More accurately, it had become even colder.
What did Zhou Jin say to Zhou Ze before committing suicide? I thought to myself, "Of course, it could also be because I caused Zhou Jin too much trouble. This is the grudge he has against me as his own brother."
"I'd like to see him during the day." "I promise not to disturb him."
After Zhou Ze heard what I said, the coldness in his eyes grew even deeper. He said, "No."
"Then I will just stay here and not leave." I picked up my handbag and was about to sit down.
Zhou Ze stared at me, rubbed his temples and said, "No."
"I just want to see him again." I said, "I know my request is too excessive, but I don't feel that there is anything wrong with me. Just consider it as my thick skin. I just want to be together with Zhou Jin."
Zhou Ze faintly swept a glance across him, and said, "From the first time we met, I've let you take your place, but until now, you haven't learned it, you've only learned how to push your luck."
"I know." I know I was wrong.
Zhou Ze slightly pursed his lips. When he saw my appearance, a complicated look flashed past his eyes, but he still said, "No."
I looked up at him and said, "Please."
Zhou Ze saw the slight hesitation in my eyes and said, "Actually, even if you were to see him, it would be meaningless."
"Why?" I asked curiously.
