Zhou Yi was speechless and asked sharply: "Then why did you book it just in time for Jiang Mingzhu to return to Beicheng?"
Zhou Li: "Whether she comes back or not has nothing to do with me."
"Okay, I really belong to you." Zhou Yi laughed at Zhou Li's harsh words, "Then you can figure it out yourself. Just make yourself popular later and don't come to me to cry."
Zhou Li hung up the phone directly.
Zhou Yi put away his phone and shrugged his shoulders. When he turned around, he happened to find Zheng Pianqing standing behind him, as if she had been standing for a while.
Zhou Yi: "Are you looking for me?"
Zheng Pianqing: "Were you on the phone with Zhou Li just now?"
She moved her lips, "I just saw the news. Is he engaged?"
"I don't know where I found someone to act with him." Zhou Yi smiled helplessly, "Lao Si has been a tough-talking person since he was a child. His previous anger has not subsided, and he keeps getting angry."
Zheng Pian frowned and thought carefully for a moment, not quite believing it: "How can you be so sure it's acting?"
"How about we make a bet?" Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows.
Zheng Pianqing: "What are you betting on?"
Zhou Yi: "Let's bet on whether he is acting."
"I heard your brother say a few days ago that he is going back to Hong Kong City next month to attend the wedding anniversary banquet of Mingzhu's parents. Mingzhu will definitely go back then."
Zheng Pianqing nodded, "What then?"
Zhou Yi: "According to my understanding of the fourth child, he will panic as soon as Mingzhu leaves Beicheng."
"If he shows up, even if I win, you give me a gift next time on my birthday; if he doesn't show up, even if you win, I will give you three months of free work." When he said this He was beaming with joy, like a naughty boy who had not grown up.
Zheng Pianqian thought about it for a moment and realized that it didn't matter whether she lost or won the bet, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay, let's bet."
Zhou Yi raised the corner of his lips: "Then, I will book a flight to Hong Kong City later and take Sansan with me?"
Zheng Pianqing: "...?"
Zhou Yi: "The bet is so big, why don't we fly over in person to witness it?"
Zheng Pianqing reacted and frowned, feeling like she had been deceived.
Zhou Yi smiled and waved, explaining to her: "I admit that I tricked you, but you have been too tired recently. It is good to change the environment and relax. I just happened to take Sansan back to Hong Kong City for a walk. She has no impression of Hong Kong City. .”
What Zhou Yi said was reasonable and well-founded, and the anger that Zheng Pianqing had just emerged disappeared immediately because of his words.
She glanced at Zhou Yi and said lightly: "Your mouth can turn black into white."
Zhou Yi readily admitted and patted her shoulder, "No, this mouth can just help you solve things you don't want to solve. That's great. We are called complementary."
Zheng Pianqian didn't answer his question and brushed his hand away.
Although he was pushed away, the smile on Zhou Yi's face did not diminish. After getting along with Zheng Pianqian for several months, Zhou Yi also found a lot of fun in this mode. Although Zheng Pianqian seemed to be indifferent to him overall, Yes, but she would not turn against him as mercilessly as before for his occasional "excessive" behavior.
For example, the matter of the bet and return to Hong Kong City just now, if it were placed at the time when the relationship was most tense, Zheng Pianqian would never let this matter end easily - unknowingly, she was a lot more tolerant of him.
Zhou Yi is a person who can easily find a way out in adversity. As long as there is one or two points of positive feedback, he will spare no effort to continue.
This trait is optimistic at best, and shameless at worst. He has heard others comment on him like this since he was a child, but he doesn't really care. Shamelessness doesn't matter. Zheng Pianqian's attitude is Change doesn’t lie.
——
After getting Zheng Pianqing's permission, Zhou Yi booked a flight to Hong Kong City for a family of three that night.
At that time, Zhou Yizheng, Zheng Pianqing, Zheng Linxu and Sansan were sitting in the restaurant eating.
The painting exhibition ended successfully. This meal was a celebration banquet hosted by Zheng Linxu for Zheng Pianqing. Zhou Yi followed him unnoticed.
Zheng Linxu was already used to Zhou Yi's shameless behavior and did not chase him away.
However, Zheng Linxu still frowned after hearing the news about booking a flight from Zhou Yi.
He looked at Zheng Pianqing: "Why didn't you tell me that you were going back to Hong Kong City?"
Zheng Pianqing: "..."
Zhou Yi: "It's a temporary decision. We want to take Sansan back for a walk. We've been so busy recently that we don't have time to spend time with her."
Zheng Linxu's expression softened slightly: "When will you return?"
Zhou Yi: "Next month, I should be able to attend Mingzhu's parents' wedding anniversary banquet with you."
Zheng Linxu: "Why are you joining in the fun?"
Zhou Yi raised the corners of his lips, "Mr. Zheng, if I don't go, who will take the fourth child in?"
Zheng Linxu's brows that had just relaxed furrowed again. He reacted very quickly and could immediately hear what Zhou Yi meant.
"Zhou Li is going?"
Zhou Yi: "As expected of Mr. Zheng, he is so smart."
Zheng Linxu: "Isn't he engaged?"
Zhou Yi laughed, "With Mr. Zheng's high IQ, it's not difficult to guess that he is acting, right? The fourth child has such a bad temper and loves to hold things up. If someone really runs away, he will panic. "
"So, I went over and gave him a chance to step down." Zhou Yi nuzzled his chin, "They will correct the results as soon as possible. We are all happy, right?"
Zheng Linxu chuckled, "You are really good at rubbing."
Zhou Yi: "Thank you, Mr. Zheng. I'm just a little smart, but I can't compare with someone like you who does big things."
Zheng Linxu: "..."
Zheng Pianqian was eating salad quietly on the side. Listening to Zhou Yi's words, there was only one sentence left in her head - a person is shameless and invincible.
In Zheng Pianqing's memory, it was rare to see Zheng Linxu being teased until she was speechless.
——
There is no holiday in October, so Sansan set off after asking for leave from school.
Zhou Yi booked a flight a few days earlier than Zheng Linxu. Zheng Linxu had work on hand and could not leave early, so he had to let the family of three leave first.
Naturally, it was impossible to stay in a hotel when returning to Hong Kong City. Zheng Linxu arranged for someone to take Zheng Pianqing and Sansan to their old house.
As for Zhou Yi, he didn't care.
The flight landed in the port city, and Zhou Yi pushed two suitcases and walked out behind Zheng Pian Ting and San San.
As soon as we arrived at the pick-up gate, the driver from the Zheng family's old residence had already greeted us, "Miss Third, Miss Miss."
Zheng Pianqing nodded, and after greeting him, she pointed to Zhou Yi behind him: "The luggage is here, you can load it into the car first."
The driver complied.
While the driver was carrying the luggage, Sansan asked curiously: "Mom, where are we going?"
Zheng Pianqing: "Go to my home."
She said, "You have been to the place where your uncle and aunt and I lived since we were young, but you just don't remember it."
Sansan nodded: "Dad, are you with us?"
Her question reminded Zheng Pianqing.
Zheng Pianqian looked back at Zhou Yi and said to him, "Take a taxi back to the hotel."
Zhou Yi: "What hotel?"
Zheng Pianqing: "...Didn't you book a hotel before coming?"
