Chapter 135 Perhaps It's Really Fate
Chu Yue, standing behind him, knew how much pressure he was under. She nervously rubbed her thumb against the ring and said, "Are you going to get scolded by Mr. Zhou when you go back? How about I go back with you and admit my mistake?"
The old man hadn't fully agreed to their engagement yet, and Zhou Xingzhi didn't want her to endure those looks. "What's your fault with the group? I'll take you back and then I'll go over. Just have a good meal at home and wait for me to come home."
Chu Yue didn't know whether to be happy or sad. She knew Zhou Kecheng didn't agree with their marriage. She also knew Zhou Xingzhi didn't want her to bear this pressure. But she understood Zhou Xingzhi. He was waiting for him to come home, feeling a bit of the complacency of a captor.
"Let's discuss everything in a good way and don't exacerbate the conflict." She didn't know how to persuade him and could only look at him worriedly.
"What big conflict could there be between father and son? Don't worry." Zhou Xingzhi held her hand tightly to comfort her.
The old man was not only angry with his youngest son, but also with his eldest son Zhou Jihuai. He had raised a child outside and had caused a death. Fortunately, Mo Xiaoxiao hadn't made a big deal out of it. If it had reached the media, Xinghui's stock price would have plummeted in a matter of minutes.
After sending Chu Yue home, Zhou Xingzhi hurried back to the old house. Seeing Li Wanyun there, he felt unhappy and deliberately stayed away from her during dinner. He was an emotional hygienic, and he was most afraid of people with no sense of boundaries.
"What happened in Beijing that required you to leave Singapore behind and make a special trip?" Zhou Kecheng poured out the tea brewed by Li Wanyun, brewed a new pot, and sat in the study to interrogate his youngest son.
"Yueyue's teacher has stomach cancer, so I went to take a look." Zhou Xingzhi has recently been investigating the background of a group of veterans in the company. The old man's attitude is ambiguous and difficult to understand.
"This is not your first time falling in love, don't let a woman lead you by the nose." The old man has a strong desire for control. In his mind, men cannot be controlled by women.
"Dad, why don't you agree with me marrying Yueyue?" Zhou Xingzhi turned the Ru kiln cup in his hand. He really couldn't understand why the old man and mother both liked this girl at the beginning, but now they didn't agree with them getting married.
"Xingzhi, since you took over the group, you should have known how many people are watching us. There is no permanent love in this world, only permanent interests. Besides, your girlfriend is not someone who will give you any trouble."
"What about you and my mom? Since she married you, she has wanted nothing and has been following you wholeheartedly. Isn't that love?"
The old man was very proud of this. His wife's absolute obedience to him greatly satisfied his vanity. He didn't know whether it was love or not, but at least they both got what they wanted.
"Yueyue is very outstanding, I am marrying up to her level. Dad, don't be prejudiced against women." Zhou Xingzhi swallowed the warm tea. "Also, Li Wanyun was just a trick I used to deceive you. She and I are innocent."
"You used her to deceive your mother, and now you're using Chu Yue to deceive yourself." The old man didn't know whether he saw through his vanity or his so-called sincerity. "Can she really treat her father's death as nothing and be with you with peace of mind?"
Zhou Xingzhi knew that Chu Jie'an's car accident was related to Zhou Jihuai, so he took over the subsequent investigation and prevented Chu Yue from interfering. They had already quarreled about this matter last time.
"Dad, you've always known about this, why do you still indulge my brother?"
"Because he's your brother!"
Li Li came up and said to her son, "Wanyun said she's still staying in a hotel. Why don't you rent her a place? It's too late today. You should take her home first."
"Since she can come here by herself, why can't she go back by herself?"
Zhou Xingzhi looked at his watch. It was time to go home. Yueyue was still waiting for him at home.
"How can you talk like that? You're a guest after all, are you polite?" Li Li urged him to go downstairs and see her off.
He stood up and went downstairs, ready to go back to his villa. When Li Wanyun saw him, she thought he was really sending her off, so she put her bag over her shoulder, said hello to Li Li, and prepared to go out as well.
Zhou Xingzhi glanced at her in the garage and said coldly, "Take a taxi back and get the invoice from Secretary Jiang for reimbursement."
"Zhou Xingzhi, are you sick? Is it because of what I said on WeChat? What did I say wrong? Is it wrong to worry about you?"
"Say I can, don't bring Yueyue into this! And you know, I hate women who have no sense of boundaries the most."
He opened the car door, got in, and drove out of the garage, leaving Li Wanyun standing in the cold wind.
Chu Yue was very worried that Zhou Xingzhi would really quarrel with his father. After dinner, he stared at his phone for a long time, deleted and rewrote the message in the message column, but he didn't dare to send it.
After taking a shower, I paced back and forth in the living room.
"Why are you waiting here? Aren't you cold?" Zhou Xingzhi was changing his shoes at the entrance. Seeing her really waiting for him in the living room in her nightgown, he felt a satisfaction he had never felt before.
Chu Yue heard the voice and quickly walked to the entrance and asked nervously: "Did you quarrel? Did you get punished? Let me see if you are injured?"
As she spoke, she grabbed his clothes and stood on tiptoe to make him spin around for her to see.
"They are not children, so why should they be punished? It's normal to have a few arguments about the group's affairs. Why are you so nervous?" Zhou Xingzhi found her nervous look funny and cute.
He picked her up by the waist and sat her on the sofa. He approached her and asked, "Are you so nervous about me?"
"I'm afraid you'll make your dad sick. How can I not be nervous?" Chu Yue pushed him away and tried to find her shoes. Since she came back safely, everything must be fine.
"Have you... not charged for a long time?"
As Chu Yue just stood up, Zhou Xingzhi grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, sitting her on his lap. It seemed like they hadn't fulfilled their marital duties for a long time.
"What? A tablet? Ah! Speaking of which, the comics haven't been updated for a long time." Chu Yue suddenly remembered and wanted to go to the second floor to get the tablet.
Well, it was long enough, so long that she had forgotten the secret code between them. "How about you charge me first?"
This time Chu Yue understood. She calmed down and asked, "Are you wronged? Let me see you." She held his face, wanting to comfort him.
"How can I not feel wronged? It's already February, and you haven't even given me a proper recharge."
Chu Yue stood up, half-knelt on his lap, facing him, and hugged him, saying, "Like this?"
Zhou Xingzhi buried his head in her neck and shoulders, his nose filled with her orange scent mixed with the flavor of Longjing tea. "Did you spray perfume when you took a shower?"
"No, the body lotion I used was too dry." Chu Yue could feel his heartbeat, calm and strong, but something seemed to be growing quietly under her body.
"Are you cold?" Zhou Xingzhi touched her calf. It was so cold, and she was only wearing a nightgown and a robe, without even putting on more clothes.
"You... seem a little hot." Chu Yue quietly reached out her hand to his chest, trying to move herself away.
"Well, it means the charging is effective." Zhou Xingzhi hugged her tighter, wanting to hold her like this forever.
"Xingzhi...you...hit me." Chu Yue felt a little embarrassed.
"I want to hold you longer."
"How about you... go take a shower first?" Chu Yue was not wearing any underwear, and the double-breasted suit still looked uncomfortable.
"Can you look at me the same way you look at your teacher?" Thinking about it now, he is still jealous.
"What?" Chu Yue had no idea what kind of look she had when she looked at the teacher.
"You admire Teacher Yang very much. You look up to her every time you see her. I'm jealous."
...Just a look.
"Zhou Xingzhi! She's just a teacher, and a female one at that. Are you jealous? Do you think I'll only be with you at home from now on?"
"Well, that's best."
"You are imprisoning and possessing me." Chu Yue wanted to break free and stand up, but he held her tightly and she couldn't move.
"Zhou Xingzhi!" She frowned slightly and tried to get up again, but it was still useless.
"Yueyue, I love you more than you can imagine." Zhou Xingzhi sighed lightly and whispered in her ear. His voice was low and seductive, as if he had a lot of forbearance, and there were also some... dissatisfaction.
"You...your suit buttons are hitting me." Chu Yue didn't want to compromise and just wanted to break free from his arms.
"Help me untie it." He gave her some space to move and watched the movements of her hands.
