Zhou Yi had already guessed that Zhou Li would ask this question. He smiled brightly and replied leisurely: "Why do you suddenly care about me?"
Zhou Li said nothing.
During the silence, Zhou Yi heard the boarding reminder coming from the receiver. It was probably because Zhou Li was in the VIP lounge and the surroundings were quiet enough, so the airport announcement was very clear.
Zhou Yi heard clearly that the destination was Hong Kong City.
Zhou Yi: "You want to come too?"
Zhou Li: “Let’s board the plane first.”
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
Zhou Yi was already accustomed to Zhou Li's awkward behavior, and he didn't get angry after being hung up on. Instead, he smiled even brighter.
Seeing Zhou Yi hang up the phone so quickly, Zheng Linxu frowned again: "That's it?"
"He's just like this, he's used to it." Zhou Yi said, "He's already at the airport getting ready to board the plane."
Zheng Linxu: "What about the others?"
Zhou Yi: "This means you don't understand him anymore."
He touched his chin, feeling that everything was under control, "The fourth man called me to remind me first. He concluded that I could guess his thoughts. In this case, it was me who took the initiative to ask him, not him who took the initiative to ask me."
Zheng Linxu chuckled, "I really can't tell that you are a family."
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Zhou Yi and Zhou Li's personalities and behaviors are at two extremes. One is too pretentious, and the other is shameless.
"I often hear this." Zhou Yi spread his hands, "But Mr. Zheng doesn't know something. The fourth child is the anomaly in our family."
Zhou Yi could tell that Zheng Linxu was dissatisfied with Zhou Li because of Jiang Mingzhu's incident, so he said a few more words, "Mr. Zheng, don't blame the fourth child. He has never been in a serious relationship before. It's not easy to meet him." It's normal for someone I like, but he was hurt like this in the end, and it's normal for him to have a temper. It will be fine once he gets over it."
Zheng Linxu gave a two-word evaluation: "Childish."
Zhou Yi deeply agrees with this.
——
Facts have proved that Zhou Yi’s previous speculation was completely correct.
The day before the banquet, Zhou Yi received a call from Zhou Li again.
This time, Zhou Yi deliberately did not take the initiative to speak, waiting to see what Zhou Li would say.
After five seconds of silence, Zhou Li finally said: "Are you in Hong Kong City?"
Zhou Yi was almost amused by this blunt opening statement. He suppressed his laughter and said, "Are you here?"
Zhou Li: "...it's Jiang Mingzhu's parents' wedding anniversary tomorrow."
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows with a surprised expression. He originally thought he would have to hold it in for a while, but he didn't expect to say it so happily. He must have been greatly stimulated.
"I know," Zhou Yi took over his words casually, "At Bishui Villa, Pian Ting and I will take San San there with us."
Zhou Li: "Can you go?"
He was a little surprised, but also a little unwilling, as if asking: You can actually go? Why do you go?
Zhou Yi: "How about it, do you want to go? I can take you."
Zhou Li didn't quite believe it: "Can you do it?"
Zhou Yi didn't explain much to him, "Just bring your gifts and wait for me at Bishui Villa tomorrow. That's it for now. I have other things to do."
This time Zhou Yi didn't give Zhou Li a chance to respond and hung up on him directly.
After answering Zhou Li's call, Zhou Yi returned from the yard to the living room to find Zheng Pianqing.
When he came in, Zheng Pianqing was sitting in front of the sofa reading a magazine.
Zhou Yi sat down opposite Zheng Pianqing excitedly. Zheng Pianqing raised her eyes and looked at him after hearing the noise, and put down the magazine in her hand, "Are you looking for me?"
Zhou Yi: "I won."
He shook his cell phone and said, "Fourth will be there tomorrow."
Only then did Zheng Pianqing realize that he said it was about the bet. Although he lost the bet, Zheng Pianqing was more concerned about: "Did he come to see Mingzhu? Did he talk to you about his thoughts?"
When talking about Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li's relationship issues, Zheng Pianying became more talkative and warmer.
Zhou Yi was quite pleased to see this. After all, he rarely saw Zheng Pianqian caring so passionately about anyone.
"We didn't chat for a few words, but don't worry too much," Zhou Yi suppressed his appetite and comforted her: "Since he is here, it means that he is ready to surrender. Mingzhu will give him a step, everything will Solved easily."
Zheng Pianqian nodded after hearing this, but there was still worry written in her eyes.
Zhou Yi: "You like Mingzhu very much?"
Zheng Pianqing: "She is very lovable. She was with Sansan when she was a child."
For Zheng Pianqing, Jiang Mingzhu is no longer a blood relative to her. She habitually cares about her and protects her, and does not want her to be wronged or suffer.
"Since she is so popular, you don't have to worry anymore," Zhou Yi changed the subject, "Do you still remember our bet?"
"Boss Zheng, remember to fulfill your promise. I'm waiting for your birthday gift." Zhou Yi stood up, walked to Zheng Pianqing, and patted her shoulder, "Remind me, my birthday is two months away."
Zheng Pianqing did not forget the bet, "What do you want?"
Zhou Yi smiled and asked, "Who asks the other person what they want before giving them a gift? How insincere? You shouldn't think about it seriously?"
Zheng Pianqing: "..."
Zhou Yi: "But I'm an easy-going person. I like whatever you give me. I'll wait for you."
Zheng Pianqian held it in for a long time and didn't know what to say. She could only spit out two words: "Boring."
In the past, when Zheng Pianqing was left speechless by his glib words, she would use these two words to deal with it. She was also the only one of his many girlfriends who had such a cold attitude towards him. Due to her personality, she was not good at using words. When expressing his feelings and falling in love, he didn't even say "I love you".
Zhou Yi used to tease her about not knowing how to act coquettishly, but now, he found that he was like a bitch. Hearing Zheng Pianqing's cold words to him would make him excited for a while - how could he have thought of himself a few years ago? One day.
——
The next afternoon, Zheng Pianqing took Sansan and Zhou Yi to Bishui Manor.
Zheng Linxu didn't go with them. He went there early in the morning. Jiang Mingzhu's parents had worked at Qingcheng Capital for more than 20 years. Zheng Linxu and them had long been friends. The company's executives would have dinner together at noon.
When Zheng Pianqian, Zhou Yi and Sansan came over, many guests had already arrived.
Zhou Yi had contacted Zhou Li on the way, so as soon as the three of them got off the car, they saw Zhou Li carrying a gift.
Zheng Pianqing and Zhou Li's eyes met, and Zhou Li nodded politely.
He originally wanted to call someone, but after thinking about it, he didn't know what to call Zheng Pianqing.
"Fourth uncle?!" Sansan didn't know that Zhou Li would come. After seeing him, she was very surprised: "Long time no see!"
"Long time no see." Zhou Li responded to San San's words.
"I'll take Sansan in first." Zheng Pianqing left these words and took Sansan to find Jiang Mingzhu.
Jiang Mingzhu greets guests at the entrance.
As soon as Sansan saw her, he rushed up to her and gave her a big hug, "I miss you so much, Zhuzhu!"
"I miss you too." Jiang Mingzhu kissed Sansan on the face and looked at Zheng Pianying: "Sister-in-law."
