Went on a wrong date and got married to a billionaire CEO

Chapter 162 I promise you
Gu Luo waited for a long time but didn't see her reply and lost his patience. He pretended to comfort him and said, "I know you care about the relationship between sisters, but nothing can compare to your parents."

"Answer quickly." Seeing that she still didn't speak, Gu Luo began to urge her.

"Give me some more time." Zhou Lan bit her lip, her mind was in a mess, she couldn't think of anything clearly, and she could clearly feel the beating in her temples.

"There may not be much time left. If JT releases the evidence first tomorrow, it will be too late to say anything. By then, it will be too late to treat your mother."

No matter how Zhou Lan opened her eyes, there was still darkness in front of her, with no light coming through. The ringtone of her cell phone suddenly rang in the quiet environment.

After fumbling for a long time, he just took out his phone and Gu Luo snatched it away, "Give it back to me!"

Gu Luo took the phone and stared at the screen, "Your mother called. Do you want to answer it? Huh?"

Zhou Lan clenched her hands tightly and concentrated all her strength on her fists.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Gu Luo made a decision for her. The moment the loudspeaker rang, Zhou Lan's clenched hands suddenly spread apart, as if all the strength in her body had been taken away.

"Lan Lan, why haven't you come back yet?" Her mother's voice sounded in her ears, accompanied by a cough. It seemed difficult for her to speak simply.

"Lan Lan?"

"Mom, I'll be back soon. It's a bit late to work overtime today." Zhou Lan tried her best to stay normal in order to prevent her mother from hearing the clues.

"Well, come back early and don't work too hard."

"Okay, you go to bed early and don't have to wait for me."

The phone was cut off. Zhou Lan raised her head stubbornly and held the phone tightly in her hand. If she only relied on herself to make money, she didn't know when her mother would be cured. She felt like a see-saw in her heart.

"I'll give you the last two minutes so that your mother won't worry. You can leave after you think about it."

"No, I promise you."

"You really didn't disappoint me." Gu Luo smiled and shouted toward the door: "Take her back."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone rushed in and held her arm. Based on the smell, Zhou Lan determined that it was the same person who came just now.

Zhou Lan was helped out, and Gu Luo's voice sounded from behind, "Seize the time, I'm waiting for your good news."

When I got to the car, I took off my blindfold. It was still dark around me, and there was no bright light to stimulate me. It was much more comfortable.

Zhou Lan sat in the back like a puppet, staring out the window. When she arrived, she was driven out of the car where she got on.

The car drove away, and Zhou Lan stood there stunned for a long time before preparing to go home.

She felt more and more tired as she walked on the journey she was most looking forward to. Finally, she couldn't hold on anymore and squatted on the ground and cried.

"Lan Lan?"

Zhou Lan suddenly raised her head, her eyes were so sore, she could faintly see her mother with her back hunched over, "Mom, why are you out?"

"I'm worried about you. Come out and see if you've arrived and what's wrong with you."

Mother Zhou took a closer look and saw her swollen eyes. It seemed that she heard the cry just now and it was her daughter.

Zhou Lan stood up, smiled at her mother, and pointed to the road, "I fell just now and it hurts so much. You know I don't suffer pain. I'll squat here and cry."

Zhou Mu glanced at her suspiciously, still worried when he heard that she fell, "Let me see where she fell?"

"It's okay. I've finished crying. It doesn't hurt anymore. Let's go back." Zhou Lan took her hand and led her inside.

Mother Zhou was almost pushed away, "Let me see where you have been?" "It's okay. What if you catch a cold in such a strong wind?" Zhou Lan kept walking.

"Is someone bullying you at work?"

Zhou's mother was afraid that her daughter would be wronged. There were only two people in the family with no power and no one to support her. If she was wronged, she could only bear it by herself.

"Ouch, how is that possible?!"

Zhou's mother was dubious, and when she was almost home, she said again, "You are so tired from working, so you should take a rest."

"I know, Mom." Zhou Lan opened the door and let her go in first. Looking at her mother's little back, she felt like she was being tugged in her heart.

Zhou's mother suddenly started coughing violently. Zhou Lan hurriedly walked over and closed the door, her tone anxious, "Are you okay? Look, you didn't listen to me telling you not to go out to have a good breeze."

Mother Zhou put her hands behind her back and said, "What a big deal, coughing twice won't do anything."

"What about the blood on your hands? There's no point in hiding it, I saw it." Zhou Lan saw the faint redness on her hands, which was particularly dazzling, so he took a tissue from the cabinet and brought her hands over to wipe them clean carefully.

"It's okay, you, don't tire yourself too much, I'm an old man anyway."

Mother Zhou felt uncomfortable seeing her daughter like this.

Zhou Lan exploded almost instantly.

"What an old bone! You're only in your forties! It's all because of me! It's because of me that you're so tired, and I'm of no use. You can't even pay for medical expenses when you're sick."

When the doctor said that Zhou's mother's illness was caused by exhaustion, Zhou Lan realized how much her mother had done to send her to school. She worked day and night for tuition fees. She did all the work that others didn't do, and she endured it for so many years.

"It's all because of me." Zhou Lan's mood gradually collapsed, and she turned around and ran back to the room. The door was slammed shut, and Zhou Lan covered her mouth tightly to prevent her crying from leaking out.

Zhou's mother walked slowly to the door of her room and stood for a long time, "Lan Lan, you are under too much pressure, but mother wants to tell you that it is not because of you, but because of you, I have been full of energy in the past 21 years. With hope, I just hope you can be yourself happily and just be yourself, I know you are very brave."

In the early morning, Su Qiqi was woken up by her alarm. What she had planned to do in the office after following Jin Muchen last night was moved to her home. She stayed up for a long time to finish it, and when she woke up, she felt dizzy.

Su Qiqi couldn't hold it any longer and lay down for a few minutes before getting up.

"Qiqi?" There was a knock on the door, and Su Qiqi was getting up from the bed. She responded in a muffled voice, "Well, I'll get up right away."

Jin Muchen stood at the door and hesitated for a while but still did not open the door and went in. He returned to the dining table and peeled the eggs for her.

As soon as Su Qiqi came out and saw the peeled eggs, she said, "Jin Muchen, I'm afraid I won't be able to do without you in the future."

"Huh? Eat slowly."

"Why have you been so good lately? You let Jin Lin sleep in every day." Su Qiqi didn't see Jin Lin, so she probably was still sleeping.

"Wouldn't it be a good idea for me to wake you up?" Jin Muchen stopped holding the porridge.

"Hey, I'm an adult. What if you don't wake me up and I'm late? What if you deduct my salary?" Su Qiqi was amused by him. The two cannot be compared at all.

After dinner, Su Qiqi didn't have time to pack her things last night, so she ran back to the room and started packing.

Jin Muchen didn't wait for two minutes when he saw Su Qiqi carrying one in her hand and one on her shoulder. He naturally took the bag from her hand, a little casually.

"It's heavy, right? It's a bit hard for even my strongman."

Su Qiqi looked at him with crooked eyes.
