Chapter 78 - Obsession that cannot be achieved

Xia Zhuozhuo's voice was as clear as a spring. She gently opened her red lips and said to Du Zhengguo: "Mr. Du, just call me Zhuozhuo from now on. I don't want my identity to be known by too many people." There was a bit of indifference in her eyes, as if the troubles in the world had nothing to do with her. Hearing this, Du Zhengguo nodded quickly, with a smile on his face: "Okay, okay, Zhuozhuo, this name is very good." He thought to himself that although Xia Zhuozhuo was born in the ruined Xia family, his medical skills were unparalleled in the world, and even he, an old man who had seen countless people, had to admire him. Du Zhengguo felt a little guilty. He looked at Xia Zhuozhuo, trying to ease the slightly stiff relationship between the two due to past misunderstandings: "Zhuozhuo, I have always felt guilty about you. Haoran is a child who is ignorant and has caused you a lot of trouble." Xia Zhuozhuo smiled lightly, with a bit of alienation in her smile: "Mr. Du, you are too serious. I don't take the past to heart." Du Zhengguo sighed and continued: "Haoran mentioned on the phone that Si Shenxing has made you his fiancée. But the one from the Si family in Kyoto is a famous snobbish person. Although the Xia family It was once glorious, but now it is gone. How could they like a daughter-in-law like you? " He changed the subject, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "But I am different, Zhuozhuo, I don't despise your background. If you and Haoran can get together, it will be a happy thing for everyone." Xia Zhuozhuo raised his eyebrows and smiled playfully: "Mr. Du, your words sound like charity." Du Zhengguo was stunned, and then smiled awkwardly: "Zhuozhuo, you misunderstood, I have no such intention." Xia Zhuozhuo stopped talking, just glanced at Du Haoran lightly. There was no ripple in his eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger. Du Haoran's heart tightened, and he tried to force out a smile: "Miss Xia, I hope you can forgive my previous mistakes. From now on, let's just pretend that it never happened, how about that?" Xia Zhuozhuo chuckled, with a bit of disdain in her laughter: "Mr. Du, I can forgive some people. But for some people, from the first time I saw him, I knew that we could never be friends. You belong to the latter." Du Haoran's face instantly became extremely ugly. He didn't understand why Xia Zhuozhuo could be so kind to his father but so cold to him. Just then, a hurried female voice broke the silence: "Haoran, why are you here?" Xia Liuli hurried over. She had just finished a design competition and thought she performed well, so she couldn't wait to find Du Haoran to share her joy. When Du Haoran saw Xia Liuli, he inexplicably felt a little guilty. He coughed dryly and asked, "Why did you come out so soon?" Xia Liuli tried to calm her inner emotions and nodded to Du Zhengguo calmly, but from an angle they could not see, her eyes stabbed at Xia Zhuozhuo like a knife, full of threats. Xia Zhuozhuo was speechless. She didn't understand why Xia Liuli looked at her with such eyes. Did she think she would steal her boyfriend? It was ridiculous. She didn't want to stay any longer and said to Du Zhengguo, "Mr. Du, I have something else to do. I'll leave first." After that, she turned and left without a trace of nostalgia. Du Zhengguo looked at Xia Zhuozhuo's back and felt a little unhappy. He wanted to say a few more good words for his father's friend and let Xia Zhuozhuo consider his relationship with Du Haoran, but Xia Liuli's appearance disrupted everything. He asked Xia Liuli with a dark face: "Why did you come out so quickly? I saw that no one else came out yet. Did you give up the competition?" Xia Liuli hurriedly explained: "No, I didn't. One hour is enough for me. Plagiarism and imitation do not require any effort for me. I just need to restore the design in my mind. So, I am the first one to come out." Du Zhengguo's face eased a little after hearing this: "In this case, let's wait for the results together." Xia Liuli vowed: "Don't worry, the championship this time must be mine." Du Zhengguo looked at Xia Liuli's confident look, and his dissatisfaction temporarily subsided. And Du Haoran, because of Xia Liuli's confidence, temporarily forgot the thorn in his heart. There were many other noble sons on the field. Du Zhengguo greeted them one by one, leaving only Du Haoran and Xia Liuli. Du Haoran tried to change the subject: "Are you hungry? Do you want some dessert?" How could Xia Liuli have the heart to eat dessert? Her focus was all on the barely perceptible resentment in Du Haoran's eyes when he looked at Xia Zhuozhuo just now. She took a deep breath and couldn't help asking, "What were you talking about with my sister from the countryside just now?" Du Haoran subconsciously corrected her, "Don't say that about her. Miss Xia's identity is definitely not as simple as an ordinary village girl." Xia Liuli's face turned pale, and she looked at Du Haoran in disbelief, "Haoran, are you scolding me for her?" Du Haoran suddenly came back to his senses and shook his head, "I'm not scolding you for her, but if my dad hears this, he will inevitably be dissatisfied with you again." Xia Liuli pursed her lips and forced a smile, "Oh, I know." But the doubts and uneasiness in her heart became stronger. She couldn't help but ask again: "You haven't told me yet, what were you talking about with her just now?" Du Haoran scratched his hair in annoyance: "Nothing, it's just that my grandfather has a friend who wants to ask her for treatment. My dad is worried about this matter." Xia Liuli frowned: "Haoran, don't you also believe that she is a miracle doctor? Why are you starting to..." Du Haoran interrupted her: "But now grandpa's health is indeed much better, this is a fact. I have to admit that her medical skills are indeed extraordinary." Xia Liuli was so angry that she trembled all over. She looked at Du Haoran, her eyes full of disappointment and anger: "Du Haoran, you have changed! You are no longer the Du Haoran who belongs to me alone!" Du Haoran was stunned. He looked at Xia Liuli, and an inexplicable irritability and guilt surged in his heart. He wanted to say something to comfort her, but he opened his mouth and couldn't say anything. Just then, the result of the competition was announced. Xia Liuli won the championship without any suspense, but there was no joy on her face. She looked at Du Haoran, her eyes full of complexity and confusion. Du Haoran also looked at her, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that there was a rift between them, and this rift might never be repaired. After leaving the stadium, Xia Zhuozhuo did not go home directly. She strolled in the bustling streets, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She recalled the things about Du Haoran and Xia Liuli, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart. She understood that some people are destined to be only passers-by in life. And she has long been accustomed to loneliness and loneliness. As the night deepened, Xia Zhuozhuo's figure gradually went away under the neon lights. She didn't know where the future would go, but she knew that no matter how bumpy the road ahead was, she would go on bravely. Because, Xia Zhuozhuo, she has never been a person who gives up easily. She clenched her fists, her nails engraved into her palms without feeling, and secretly vowed to hold on until the results of the game were announced. At that moment, whether it was Du Zhengguo or everyone else, they would look at her with admiration.
