Zhou Shian narrowed his eyes, neither admitting nor denying.
"Let's go."
He put Mrs. Zhou on the train and said before leaving: "Stop trying to let Meng Weiyi replace Wen Qian. It's impossible now and even less likely in the future. There's no harm in saying more good things about Wen Qian in front of Uncle Zhou."
Mrs. Zhou listened to her son.
She also felt a little regretful. In fact, the girl Meng Weiyi was also quite good. The family had no power but no shortage of money. Unfortunately, she had a brain problem. She was just taken back to the capital by her family yesterday, and she probably went to the hospital to recuperate.
This time it was completely out of the question.
Originally, Zhou Feng felt ashamed of Meng Weiyi, so he tried every means to give her to Zhou Shilin. Now that Wen Qian has such a prestigious family background, not to mention one Meng Weiyi, not even ten Meng Weiyi can compare with her.
Meng Weiyi still lost this fight.
"Son, mom is gone."
"Pay more attention to your health, don't work too hard, and... don't worry about people who don't belong to you."
The train gradually moved away.
The smile on Zhou Shian's face also disappeared completely. Someone who shouldn't be worried about him? Ever since he was little, he has always given way to Zhou Shilin. Why...
***
The end of the year is approaching.
Jiang Muyun and others were preparing to return to Xiangjiang.
After being together for such a long time, Wen Qian was somewhat reluctant to leave. When they parted, her eyes were red. She took Jiang Muyun's arm and leaned gently on her shoulder, saying, "My dear mother, I don't want you to go~"
"Mom will come back after a while."
When mother and daughter had just met, Jiang Muyun was naturally reluctant to leave. She really wanted to take Wen Qian back to celebrate the Spring Festival, but it was not appropriate to leave her son-in-law to celebrate the New Year alone, not to mention Zhou Shilin's identity. We cannot go to Xiangjiang easily.
I can only wait until next year to see you again.
"You and your son-in-law are fine, don't bully others."
Wen Qian: "..."
Why did she bully Zhou Shilin?
Besides, someone is willing to be bullied.
"I know, we will be fine for sure. You should also take care of yourself and say hello to Uncle Lu for me."
"good."
Jiang Muyun patted his daughter's hand and turned to look at Lu Zhendong.
"Zhendong, come back with us."
Lu Zhendong hummed. It was the end of the year and he had to go back to deal with the backlog of work. He happened to be taking Xu Mianmian out for a walk, but when he looked at Xu Mianmian, the rabbit-like woman lowered her head and avoided his eyes. sight.
Thinking of her guarding him like a thief, a sigh of relief suddenly filled his chest.
Wen Qian and the others were busy chatting and didn't notice anything strange about Lu Zhendong. Xu Mianmian even took the fruit plate and hid in the kitchen. The moment she closed the door, she let out a long sigh of relief.
She understood Lu Zhendong's thoughts.
But she is self-aware. For her, Lu Zhendong is just a temporary novelty. The gap between the two is too big and there will be no results. She has already had a failed marriage, and she does not want to and cannot entrust herself to the wrong person again.
Besides——
What can Lu Zhendong give himself?
money?
She can earn her own money and spend her own money with peace of mind.
right?
What's the use of having rights as a woman? As for status, the status of a person like Lu Zhendong is naturally extraordinary, but only his wife can match it. She knows how much she weighs and takes it lightly, so she keeps it even more guarded. live.
Stay safe.
Guard your heart.
While I was thinking wildly, the kitchen door suddenly opened.
Lu Zhendong walked in with one hand in his pocket. He seemed to prefer dark clothes. The black sweater made his face look cold and handsome, especially his pair of dark eyes, which were very intimidating when they looked at each other.
Xu Mianmian immediately turned around and turned her back to him.
Pretending to be busy, she stirred the soup in the casserole. Perhaps because she was flustered, she stirred too much, and a few drops of scalding hot soup instantly splashed onto her hands, and her white fingers suddenly turned red.
The pain made her tremble.
The next second, Lu Zhendong directly grabbed her hand and reached to the edge of the sink, turned on the faucet and started flushing, calling her a fool while flushing.
Xu Mianmian: "..."
She was indeed stupid, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to escape.
Seeing her red eyes like a soft rabbit, Lu Zhendong couldn't help but get closer and teased: "Such a small injury will make you cry. Xu Mianmian, why are you so soft and crying?"
They were very close to each other.
The man's clear breath sprayed out, and Xu Mianmian subconsciously ducked back. This move directly aroused Lu Zhendong's dissatisfaction. He snorted and moved closer with evil intentions.
"I want it, do you think you can hide it?"
He knew that Xu Mianmian was timid and had been giving her time to adapt, but this woman seemed to be deliberately going against him, always shrinking into her own shell. If this continued, his patience would soon be exhausted.
Xu Mianmian knew she couldn't escape.
But how will you know if you don’t try.
She raised her eyes slightly, stretched out her slender fingers and tugged on Lu Zhendong's sleeves little by little, and said softly: "Mr. Lu, I don't want to go to Xiangjiang, I'll just wait for you at home, okay?"
As she said that, she shook Lu Zhendong's hand.
Looking like she was being coquettish, Lu Zhendong suddenly felt soft in his heart. After taking a deep look at Xu Mianmian, he unexpectedly agreed.
"Okay, I'll be back after the new year."
***
After Jiang Muyun and others left, Wen Qian concentrated on the business of the clothing store. She was busy until the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month before closing the store. If it didn't close, there would be no goods to sell, and basically all the clothes in the store were sold out. .
Pay wages to three clerks.
Wen Qian started preparing new year's goods.
This is the first Spring Festival that she and Zhou Shilin have officially celebrated together. Although there are only two of them, there is still a sense of ceremony. It will be New Year's Eve in two days, and the streets are full of people, almost the entire county. Everyone was mobilized.
Those doing New Year shopping, visiting relatives, and walking on the streets.
It’s almost crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder. The busiest part is the New Year’s Street that merchants have formed spontaneously. There are all kinds of snacks, candies, roasted melon seeds, and all kinds of fried meat.
Wen Qian bought from one end of the stall to the other.
After buying something, he handed it back. Not long after, Zhou Shilin's hands were full of delicious food, which made the women around him look envious and jealous.
How much does it cost to have so many things?
Whose prodigal son is out on the street? They are really jealous and they want to buy it too!
After buying new year's goods, the two were ready to go home.
Because the bicycle faucet and the back seat were filled with New Year's goods, Wen Qian planned to sit on the front bumper. She wore a lot of clothes because of the cold weather, and her whole body was wrapped into a round rice dumpling. She couldn't sit properly even after trying once. Shi Lin smiled dullly.
When he smiled, Wen Qian glared at him fiercely.
"Smile, smile, I'll eat you if you smile again. If you don't hurry up, pick me up."
Zhou Shilin raised the corner of his mouth and held her on the front bumper with one hand. He arranged her scarf and hat at the same time. Then he easily pedaled the bicycle forward. When he passed an alley, there was a sudden sound inside. Come the sound of punches and kicks.
