Cheng Xi stepped into Zhou Jingchen's private residence for the first time late at night.
Shades of grey, white and blue.
Minimalist furniture.
Very lonely.
But not monotonous.
His taste has always been that of the upper class among men.
"Let me down." Cheng Xi swung his legs and let go of his neck.
"do not move."
Zhou Jingchen held her in his arms and changed into slippers in the entrance hall, then pushed her against the wall, supported her waist with one hand, took off his coat and pulled off her shirt with the other hand.
The cut feet never touched the ground.
Cheng Xi remembered that Zhong Wen praised the captain of the school basketball team for being tall and powerful, and her boyfriend was extremely powerful.
In fact, Zhou Jingchen is.
It's a pity that Cheng Xi will never be able to experience his boyfriend's powerful side in the future.
Belongs to any woman but not her.
Zhou Jingchen put her on the big bed in the master bedroom and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
After taking a shower and going back to the room, Cheng Xi curled up in bed, exposing her feet and tiny cuts.
"Is your wound stretched?"
His collar was open just now, and she noticed that there was blood oozing from the gauze.
Zhou Jingchen didn't answer. He poured a cup of hot water in the living room and brought some ointment with him, "Apply the medicine yourself."
He took out the blanket from the closet and went to the second bedroom next door.
The cut caused by the glass ballast was very shallow, and after being applied thickly overnight, it basically healed.
The next morning, Cheng Xi opened his eyes in a daze. Zhou Jingchen was neatly dressed and standing beside the bed, "Don't come out."
"Breakfast is on the bedside."
"My mother is here."
The last sentence was like a bomb, shocking Cheng Xi as if she were facing a powerful enemy. She clutched the quilt tightly, "Will Aunt Zhou come in?"
"have no idea."
This residence is very private. Even Mrs. Zhou rarely comes here. If she spends the night here, Mrs. Zhou must be suspicious.
Cheng Xi calmed down for a long time, quietly got out of bed, and opened the door a third of the way. Zhou Jingchen lived alone, so it was strange to close the door during the day.
Mrs. Zhou sat on the sofa in the living room, "You should investigate one thing. Xi'er has a Kelly bag. Who gave it to her."
Zhou Jingchen was selecting tea in front of the tea cabinet. He paused and said, "You can buy it yourself."
"Including the distribution of goods, it costs more than 700,000 yuan. Where will Xi'er get the money?" Mrs. Zhou rested her arm on the armrest of the sofa. "If the goods I ordered are taken from me, I want to see who it is."
Zhou Jingchen chose a can of Dian black tea. It was clear that he was the "holy", but his expression remained unchanged. "If I have the ability to steal it from you, I guess it's a big deal. I won't be able to get the result package back."
"I'm worried that Xi'er has gone astray." Mrs. Zhou squinted her eyes, "Rich and powerful old men covet handsome girls like Xi'er the most."
Zhou Jingchen frowned.
"Cheating on sex and youth."
His frown deepened.
"You don't want to investigate?" Mrs. Zhou's evil fire burned on Zhou Jingchen's head, "Do you know that old man?"
"do not know."
"I'll give you three days."
He sat down across from him, pinching his brows irritably, "Yeah."
"In addition." Mrs. Zhou said solemnly, "Your Uncle Hua passed away."
Zhou Jingchen scooped up a spoonful of tea and said, "The Hua family in the west of the city?"
"How many Uncle Hua do you have?" Mrs. Zhou was angry and he didn't take it seriously. "You went back to the north to study in junior high school. Do you have any impression of Hua Jingjing in the same courtyard?"
"I'm impressed." Zhou Jingchen had slender fingers and cleanly trimmed nails. He used a white jade porcelain tea set to make tea. It was extremely beautiful and beautiful. "When is the day of condolences?"
"He passed away yesterday and will pay his respects tomorrow."
"Is father going?"
Mrs. Zhou shook her head, "Only Mrs. Hua and Miss Hua are left in the Hua family. Your father will not come forward easily. I will attend on his behalf."
Cheng's father also came into contact with many wealthy and powerful people back then. Although he was a small driver, the driver was known as the person who "knows the big boss's secrets" the most. Therefore, before the big boss retired, he would help the driver arrange a job and trade his lifelong secrets. .
Cheng's father once said that Zhou Huaikang made a verbal engagement between Zhou Jingchen and a girl from the Hua family as a joke. Later, the Zhou family became more and more prominent and the Hua family gradually lost power. No one mentioned the marriage tacitly.
Zhou Jingchen opened the lid of the teapot and said, "Now that Uncle Hua is dead, do you still like Miss Hua?"
Mrs. Zhou was stunned, "Did you eavesdrop on the conversation between me and your father?"
"There is no need to eavesdrop, you can't hide your thoughts from me." Zhou Jingchen stirred the boiling tea soup, "Miss Hua is indeed more beautiful than Guan and is more suitable to be a wife."
"As long as you understand." Mrs. Zhou rummaged through her bag to find her cell phone, "Xi'er also went to the Hua family's funeral. She showed up more on such a grand occasion. After getting married and becoming a wife, socializing is indispensable."
Cheng Xi ran to the bed in a panic, took out his cell phone from under the quilt, and quickly turned it to silent.
My foot accidentally kicked the bed frame, making a clanging sound.
"What sound?" Mrs. Zhou frowned.
Zhou Jingchen didn't expect something to happen in the master bedroom. He immediately got up from the sofa and covered Mrs. Zhou's sight, "I got a dog."
"You never keep pets." Mrs. Zhou was doubtful.
His expression was calm and magnanimous, "It's a retired military dog, and my friend asked me to take care of it."
"Why don't you call?"
"I'm old, mute."
Fortunately, Mrs. Zhou didn't dwell on this. Just as she was about to call, Zhou Jingchen said, "Let me inform her. She should be in class and won't have time to answer the call."
Mrs. Zhou didn't stay long after drinking tea and left.
As the car drove out of the community, Cheng Xi followed Zhou Jingchen downstairs. He waited in the car for a while to make sure that Mrs. Zhou was really gone and started the engine.
"That bag...what do you say after checking it?"
Zhou Jingchen controlled the steering wheel with one hand. She was nervous, but he was fearless, "Afraid she will find out about you?"
Cheng Xi said truthfully, "Aunt Zhou wants to investigate, there is nothing that cannot be found."
He said nothing.
For a moment, "Going to school?"
She hummed.
During the morning rush hour of the Jiangbei Bridge, water was blocked from the beginning to the end of the bridge. Zhou Jingchen clenched his fists and propped his chin up, staring at the ice under the bridge.
Smoked yellow lights shine out of the bridge hole, and couples are frolicking and skating on the ice.
"Can you skate?" he asked.
"Won't."
"I teach you."
Cheng Xi silently counted in her mind that he would teach her how to swim and skate...
Zhou Jingchen's mobile phone screen flashed at this moment.
Guan Liang’s call.
He glanced and answered.
Cheng Xi opened the car window, stuck his head out, and breathed in the wind by the river. He breathed it into his lungs, and it was cool.
.......
In the afternoon of the next day, Zhou Jingchen went to the old house to pick up Mrs. Zhou and Cheng Xi.
Cheng Xi came early and had dinner at the old house. Zhou Jingchen wore a plain black suit with white flowers. Mrs. Zhou wore a white suit. She didn't have a formal suit. She wore Wanli's work uniform, which was quite formal. Mrs. Zhou handed her a white flower. , "You call Mrs. Hua."
She understands the ways of the world, and there are three, six, and nine levels of guests. Her family is not well-known in the world. Even though the Zhou family brought her there, she is not qualified to call her Aunt Hua.
The condolence hall is located in the exhibition center, covering a three-story restaurant, and is very grand.
People from the city's business circles and educational circles came to the scene one after another, and more than 20 security guards erected a crowd wall to prevent media reporters from approaching.
Cheng Xi helped Mrs. Zhou register at the guest desk. The Hua family did not accept wedding gifts, so Zhou Jingchen gave a jade Ruyi as a gift to be buried in the tomb.
Suddenly there was a commotion from the exit not far away. Cheng Xi turned around subconsciously. A crowd of people gathered in the VIP aisle. In the center was a man walking hurriedly. He was wearing a thin gray suit with dark patterns, a pure black shirt, and a slim figure. Zhengzheng was also much taller than the men and women around him. Cheng Xi turned around too late and only caught a glimpse of his profile.
"Ye Bonan also came to express his condolences."
Mrs. Zhou stared at the car.
Cheng Xi was stunned.
It turned out that the man was the eldest son of the Ye family.
A blind date she has never met.
