Tang Siyao was utterly shocked!
Not interested in won?!
No wonder she had been batting her eyes at Zhou Jinyuan nonstop, nearly getting a cramp in her eyelid, yet Zhou Jinyuan showed no reaction.
It turns out the gender didn’t match up!
She had been flirting with a "blind" man!
Tang Siyao glanced at the handso face of the man and asked with indomitable spirit, "Auntie, does his preference for gender really have to be set in stone?"
So handso and rich, yet not the right audience for her.
It seems all the good-looking n are already taken...
Zhen i Qiu sighed with an expression that spoke volus, "Yes, otherwise why would he be nearly thirty and not even had a girlfriend..."
Tang Siyao took the two gifts reluctantly, "Alright then, Auntie, you’ve suffered."
Zhen i Qiu: "Auntie can’t do you wrong, with such good conditions like yours, you’ll definitely et a better man."
Tang Siyao, seeing Zhen i Qiu’s genuinely upset deanor, was eventually forced to accept reality.
She, Tang Siyao, was not adamant about marrying into wealth, but her man had to be the best!
Beside her, Xu Nianying was frowning deeply, Zhou Jinyuan seriously not an option?
Then what’s the deal with Zhou Jinyuan and Chen Xixi?
Could his guess have been wrong?
Once the Xu Family got back in the car, Father Xu glared at Xu Nianying, scolding him sharply, "Didn’t you say Zhou Jinyuan was fond of Chen Xixi? If it wasn’t for you, we wouldn’t have co here today and lost such face!"
Xu Nianying rubbed his temples irritably, "I didn’t expect him to not like won."
He had thought of ten thousand possibilities for Zhou Jinyuan to tactfully reject the marriage, but he had never considered this one.
It caught him completely off guard!
An eerie silence fell inside the car.
Suddenly, Tang Siyao spoke up, "Cousin, why don’t you take one for the team and give it a try? By then the Zhou Family could be yours too."
After saying this, Tang Siyao felt a little excited just thinking about it; what’s with this thrilling feeling?
Plus, her cousin was quite handso, and so was Zhou Jinyuan. Two handso guys might actually make a good pair.
Tang Siyao also pointed to the two presents in the trunk that couldn’t be bought on the market and continued, "I can sell those two gifts to you at a low price. I saw Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou seed to really like them; you can bring them tomorrow and give it another try."
As soon as Tang Siyao finished speaking.
Father Xu and Mrs. Xu both turned their eyes towards Xu Nianying.
The look on Xu Nianying’s face suddenly turned irate, he coldly said to Tang Siyao, "Stop talking nonsense! Wouldn’t that an our family line ends?"
Tang Siyao was intimidated by Xu Nianying’s fierce expression, she shrank her neck, timidly suggesting, "Isn’t there still Xu Mu?"
Xu Nianying: "..."
Tang Siyao had already planned it out for him.
Xu Nianying said coldly, "I think you’ve spent too much ti abroad and all your brains are filled with filthy thoughts!"
Tang Siyao pursed her lips; her mind was very clean, filled only with handso guys and six-pack abs, not the slightest trace of any other ssy thoughts.
Xu Nianying turned his gaze to Father Xu, speaking earnestly, "Dad, do you think Zhen i Qiu could be deceiving us? This could just be her way of rejecting us. I’ve never heard anything about Zhou Jinyuan having such inclinations. If it were true, it would’ve surely spread in our circles."
Father Xu pondered seriously for a mont, "Hard to say, even if it’s true, it’s normal to keep such a matter hidden, as it’s not sothing to be proud of. But how co Chen Xixi suddenly appeared at the Zhou Family’s place? When did she beco so close to the Zhou Family?"
Xu Nianying frowned deeply and remained silent.
He felt the turn of events seed to be increasingly unfavorable for their family.
...
Zhou Family.
Chen Xixi never expected that the wealthy lady would go so far as to drive the Xu Family away for her sake.
At the dining table, Chen Xixi looked at Zhou Yuhua, whom she was eting for the first ti, and greeted him cautiously.
Zhou Yuhua’s facial expression was indifferent, just as cold and aloof as Zhou Jinyuan had just been, truly indicating they were of the sa mold.
Zhen i Qiu nudged Zhou Yuhua’s arm and frowned, "Why do you have that expression? Smile more, don’t scare the young lady away!"
Zhou Yuhua then revealed a smile.
It was clear that Zhou Jinyuan’s father was quite afraid of his wife.
Zhen i Qiu picked up a piece of fish and placed it into Chen Xixi’s bowl, speaking with a smile, "The only reason I asked you over today was to have you co sit at our ho and get familiar with it. Whenever you have ti, do co over more often, maybe accompany Auntie to fetch so eggs or the like! Don’t be shy, just treat it like your own ho!"
Chen Xixi’s eyes curved into a smile as she politely thanked her, "Thank you, Auntie."
Zhou Jinyuan’s father didn’t talk much, but Zhen i Qiu genuinely liked Chen Xixi, and the al proceeded in harmonious delight.
However, at the end of the al, Zhen i Qiu suddenly transferred a sum of Money to Chen Xixi, with the mo saying: "He’s not in a good mood today, can you stay the night?"
Not in a good mood?
Chen Xixi lifted her head to look at Zhou Jinyuan sitting beside her, his lips curled upward and his face flushed with health, seemingly in very high spirits.
Then the next second, Zhou Jinyuan slightly furrowed his brows, and his smile dipped again.
Perhaps he really wasn’t feeling too well?
What Chen Xixi did not know was that, just monts earlier, under the dining table, Zhen i Qiu had kicked Zhou Jinyuan in the foot.
Anyone suddenly kicked for no reason would be in a bad mood.
Zhou Jinyuan silently looked at Zhen i Qiu, who directly turned her head towards Zhou Yuhua, smiling as she shifted the topic, "Old Zhou, co out with for a walk to clear the mind!"
Zhou Yuhua imdiately stood up, "Alright, you guys keep eating."
Then Zhou Yuhua went to get a coat for Zhen i Qiu to wear, and the two of them left just like that.
In an instant, only Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan were left in the dining room.
Chen Xixi set down her chopsticks, turned to look at Zhou Jinyuan, and teased, "Congratulations President Zhou, it looks like you’re entering into a marriage alliance."
Zhou Jinyuan poured a glass of juice and handed it to her, "Do you agree?"
"Why wouldn’t I?"
"Good, then let’s celebrate our official marriage alliance success."
"?"
Zhou Jinyuan suddenly laughed, and slowly spoke, "Can’t you tell my mother really likes you?"
"I can," she said.
"And she doesn’t like the Xu Family."
"Why not?"
"My mom isn’t foolish; she knows very well the nature of the Xu Family better than we do. Even if there were to be a real marriage alliance, it wouldn’t be with the Xu Family."
Chen Xixi thought it made sense and then asked, "Why were you in a bad mood today?"
"In a bad mood?" Zhou Jinyuan’s expression paused for a mont; indeed, he had been a bit upset earlier, but that was because the Xu Family ca uninvited, which annoyed him.
As for now, he was in a very good mood.
"Yes, Aunt Zhen said so."
Zhou Jinyuan understood. His beloved mother had started making up stories for the sake of his happiness again.
Zhou Jinyuan looked at Chen Xixi and asked, "What else did she say?"
Chen Xixi finished her juice and truthfully replied, "She transferred so Money, asking to stay and keep you company."
Zhou Jinyuan’s lips curved slightly, "Do you wish to stay?"
Chen Xixi pursed her lips, looked towards the dining room door, "Your family’s house is so big, surely it’s not possible that there’s only one room left, right?"
Zhou Jinyuan smiled, "Of course not."
Chen Xixi assud she would stay in the guest room, but Zhou Jinyuan led her into his own bedroom instead.
