A Romantic Night: Get a CEO Home

Chapter 57 Xiaochun Im Sorry

This was the first time she had spoken to Zhao Tianyu in this ma

er in the past three years, as if they were strangers that she had never met before.

"I know you hate me, but I don't have much time left, so you came to see me one last time. Is that not okay?" Zhao Tianyu said in a pleading tone.

"Alright, one last time." Zhou Manzhen gritted her teeth and said. Just as he said the last sentence, Zhou Manzhen also wanted to see him.

"Thank you, Little Pure." Zhao Tianyu's voice carried a bleak smile, causing Zhou Manzhu's heart to ache with pain.

Zhou Man's eyes were completely red. After she hung up the phone, she powerlessly lay down on the reclining chair. As she looked at the spotlights not too far away, her thoughts drifted further away ??

If, on Valentine's Day, Zhao Tianyu hadn't betrayed him, perhaps she and Jin Beisan wouldn't have met, and the Zhou family wouldn't have experienced such an unexpected turn of events. Perhaps everything would have remained the same.

But, it was the will of the heavens that was messing with him!

Zhao Tianyu had changed, she had changed, everything had changed.

Zhou never thought that she would one day break up with Zhao Tianyu, because their relationship never had any problems and they got along very well. She felt that they would walk into the church together and get married.

However, all of this was like an illusory dream. The dream shattered, and Zhou Manzhen completely woke up.

All of a sudden, Zhou Manzhu really missed that i

ocent era, missed that time when little love songs lingered in his ears. In the days when Zhao was studying abroad with her, he would buy breakfast for Zhou Manzhen every day and wait at 7: 30 sharp at the foot of her dormitory. Because they were not professionals, Zhao Tianyu would ride his bicycle to take her to class first, and at the end of class, he would appear at her classroom first.

All the students in the class envied Zhou Manzhen and said that she had a good boyfriend.

In a relationship, holding on for one or two months might not be a big deal, perhaps because of the outburst of hormones, but in these two years, Zhao Tianyu had held on.

People often miss the past, but what about going back? It wasn't necessarily because it used to be so beautiful. Rather, what people remembered wasn't beauty, but regret.

It was only now that Zhou Man finally realized that she and Zhao Tianyu might not even be friends. At least for now, Zhou Manzhen didn't want to be friends with him.

On the day of their parting, Zhou Manzhen had asked Zhao Tianyu for an explanation, but he hadn't said anything. Now, Zhao Tianyu had told her that he wanted to give her an explanation, but Zhou Manzhu didn't want to hear it.

That night, Zhou Manzhen fell into a deep slumber. There were too many things on her mind, and she felt so tired that she couldn't breathe.

Detention facility.

Zhou Manzhen had come to this place once again. The only difference was that the people she had visited the last time were different.

Separated by a sheet of cold glass, Zhou Manzhu saw Zhao Tianyu. He was dressed in prison uniform, and his originally handsome face was covered in stubble. Just a glance at him was enough to make anyone's heart ache.

Zhou Man slightly frowned, but couldn't see it. She calmly sat down. Through the glass, she looked into Zhao Tianyu's eyes. The haughtiness in his eyes was no longer there. What remained was only a trace of regret and nostalgia.

Picking up the phone, Zhou Manzhen quietly waited for Zhao Tianyu to speak first.

"Little Pure, I'm sorry ??" Zhao Tianyu opened his dry lips. His voice sounded as if it was stuck in his throat, making it difficult for him to pronounce the words.

"Don't try to act out a romance with me. Don't you think it's a little late to apologize now?" Zhou Manzhen frowned, and her pretty face began to turn fierce. It was because of him that her life had undergone such earth-shattering changes. Jin Beisen had messed up everything, so who could she talk to about her grievances?!

"I know it's hard for you to forgive me, but I'll tell you what I should and shouldn't." Seeing Zhou Manzhu's intense reaction, a trace of guilt flashed across Zhao Tianyu's eyes. He had personally destroyed Zhou Manzhen's happiness.

If he had let go of his hatred back then, things might not have turned out like this.

"Heh, okay, I'm listening." Zhou Manzhen's face was cold. She frowned slightly and said with determination.

"Fifteen years ago, your father bought my father's company, causing our family to fall into ruin. My parents both jumped off a building overnight, and I became an orphan, living a life under someone else's roof until I entered a high school to meet you." Zhao Tianyu calmly said, his eyes filled with chaos.

With that, Zhou Manzhen froze on the spot. How could this be? She suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe. She looked at Zhao Tianyu and her mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

"So you actually had a purpose for getting close to me from the begi

ing." Her father had bought the Zhao Group, but what did that have to do with her? Why should she carry such a heavy burden?

What's more, things were changing rapidly in the shopping mall, and no one could predict what would happen in the next second. If he couldn't even bear it, then what kind of business was he or she going to be!

"I'm sorry, Little Pure. It's my fault, but I love you very much." Zhao Tianyu appeared to be rather agitated on the other side of the glass. He wanted Zhou Manzhu to believe that he truly loved her.

"Enough, there's no point talking about it now. Zhao Tianyu, if you insist on thinking that it was my fault for buying your family's company by my father fifteen years ago, then I have already obtained your so-called retribution. In the future, let us become strangers." His words were filled with sadness, grievance, and helplessness. Zhou Man sniffed; she could not cry!

"Xiaochun, I know you hate me and I know how despicable my actions are. In the future, please live a happy life and I will reflect on it. I only hope that when I come out, you can forgive me." Zhao Tianyu lowered his head and said with a shameful expression.

"Don't worry, I won't mess up my life for someone who isn't important." Zhou Man turned his face away, but the pain in his heart was as sharp as a needle.

Zhao Tianyu smiled and said in a low voice, "This is for the best. Xiaochun, forget about me completely and start a new life for you."

"Haha ??" Zhou Manzhen sneered, but her eyes were filled with tears. She asked in a disappointing ma

er, "How many years do you want to go to jail?"

"The lawyer said eight years." Zhao Tianyu's smile was as gentle as the clouds in the sky. He seemed to have already seen through life. The following days, he would be walking on the edge of a blade, as though he was treading on thin ice.

Eight years. Not long, not short, not short. How many years could he live for?

Zhao Tianyu was currently at his prime, and his career was on the rise. However, because of his hatred for his, his eyes had been blinded, and for the next eight years, he would have to spend the rest of his days in an ice-cold prison.
