Zhou Jing said âXiaokouâ twice before realizing Xiaokou had no intention of responding to her. She sat down next to her to wait. When Liang Doukouâs crying turned into sobbing, she pulled out two tissues and patted Liang Doukouâs shoulder. âItâs all right. Donât cry anymore.â
Liang Doukou leaned on the steering wheel as she continued to sob. She did not respond to Zhou Jing.
After a minute, Zhou Jing patted her shoulder again and sighed. She lifted Liang Doukou off the wheel by her shoulders and gently wiped her tears from her face with a tissue. âOkay, donât cry anymore. Crying is not going to help you solve the problem.â
Liang Doukou tried to say something, but nothing came out of her mouth. She only nodded and took the tissue from Zhou Jingâs hand and wiped her face.
Zhou Jing grabbed a bottle of water and passed it to Liang Doukou.
Liang Doukou twisted the cap off and took two sips before she could talk in a hoarse voice. âThank you.â
Zhou Jing did not say anything. She took a seat and watched Liang Doukou.
After many years of working together, Liang Doukou knew Zhou Jing was waiting for her to tell her what had happened. After she had finished half of the bottle of water and calmed down a bit, she told Zhou Jing what had happened between Gu Yusheng and herself. As she was finishing the story, Liang Doukou sounded helpless. âZhou Jing, what do you think I should do? Gu Yusheng doesnât want anything to do with me. The marriage certificate is fake.â
Zhou Jing stared through the window and didnât say anything.
Her silence made Liang Doukou panic even more. âHe kicked me out. He will go find my body double. If he finds her, thatâs it!â
âNo.â Zhou Jing had been quiet, but she suddenly looked at Liang Doukou, who appeared shocked and remained silent to hear her out.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âGu Yusheng will never be able to find her. I planned everything, and the day she agreed to be your body double I ensured that all connections between you and her were eliminated. No matter how resourceful Gu Yusheng is, he will not be able to find out anything, unless you or I tell him. There is no third party who knows who this girl is.â
âYou planned this from the beginning?â asked Liang Doukou, who knew Zhou Jing was thorough but had underestimated her foresight and abilities.
âYes. Donât be sad. That poor girl is gone. After she heard our conversation on the recording, sheâll never return to see Gu Yusheng. And heâll not be able to find her, so theyâll never meet again. The only thing different about Gu Yusheng is that girl is in his heart.â
Zhou Jing lifted her hand up and rubbed Liang Doukouâs shoulder to comfort her. âDonât you still have his grandpa on your side? As long as you continue to kiss up to him, youâll have a chance to reconnect with Gu Yusheng.â
Hearing what Zhou Jing had made Liang Doukou feel better. âZhou Jing, as long as I have you, I can handle anything.â
