Chapter 52: Buying Land (1)
When Tang Zizheng saw Duan Yixin standing outside the gate, his eyes turned slightly red.
Tang Zizheng walked up to Duan Yixin and called her softly, "Xin Xin."
Just when his fingers were about to touch Duan Yixin’s hand, Duan Yixin frowned slightly and took two steps back. Seeing her clear rejection, Tang Zizheng froze on the spot.
Duan Yixin looked at his aggrieved expression, her brows furrowed deeper, and she thought to herself, ’He acted as if I am the one who abandoned him and not him who abandoned the original owner. The original owner is really blind to love this kind of man.’
Just as she was thinking about it, Chi Xinru stood in front of her and glared at Tang Zizheng, "Tang Zizheng, please respect yourself. Don’t you think you are reading those books in vain? What is your relationship with Xin Xin now that you dare to call her by her nickname?"
Hearing Chi Xinru’s sharp words, Tang Zizheng came back to his senses. He clenched his hands, slowly put them down, and said, "I’m sorry. I offended you, Miss Duan."
Duan Yixin nodded but didn’t say anything. Seeing that Duan Yixin’s expression had softened, Chi Xinru looked at Tang Zizheng and said, "We are not here to find you but to find the village chief."
Tang Zizheng was reluctant to distance himself from Duan Yixin. But he knew that if he didn’t do so, Duan Yixin would only hate him more.
He lowered his eyes and reminded himself, ’Be patient. When I find the evidence, I will explain everything to Xin Xin. I’m sure she will forgive me when she knows I was forced to hurt her.’
