Zhou Jingchen signaled Cheng Xi to apologize with a smile, a serious smile with a hint of impropriety, "Cry a little, Aunt Zhou has softened her heart and won't scold you."
"If I scold her again, she won't go back to Zhou's house." Mrs. Zhou didn't appreciate it.
Cheng Xi cried softly, "I don't dare anymore..."
"Okay, you go back to the house and rest." Zhou Jingchen winked.
Just as she was about to leave, Mrs. Zhou stopped her, "We have a dinner date with the Geng family on Sunday, will you go?"
Zhou Jingchen drank hot tea and did not interrupt.
He wasn't going to care.
Cheng Xi nodded, "I'll go."
"Did I force you to go?"
She shook her head, "I volunteered."
Mrs. Zhou was speechless.
"Where's my father?" Zhou Jingchen changed the subject.
"It's time to go to the grassroots level. The Geng family will accompany you."
Mr. Geng's position is one level lower than that of Zhou Huaikang, and he is a deputy. This is the reason why the Zhou family wins over the Geng family. They belong to the same boat in official matters, but in personal matters they are closely tied together, which is beneficial to the Zhou family.
Zhou Jingchen finished his tea and was about to go to the study when Mrs. Zhou suddenly asked, "Why are your trousers dirty?"
Cheng Xi's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
He stopped, leaned over and took a look, and said in an understatement, "I forgot why it was dirty, just wash it off."
"Come here." Mrs. Zhou didn't give up.
Zhou Jingchen took two steps back.
The stuff was sticky, and after it dried, it was a light white spot, which was especially obvious against the black pants.
When the nanny was on the phone, it had already splattered on her pants.
He didn't notice.
Discovered by Mrs. Zhou.
"Did you take a woman out of town?"
Zhou Jingchen said nothing.
"Xi'er." Mrs. Zhou looked at her suspiciously.
That look was dangerous and probing as never before.
Her heart pounded.
Zhou Jingchen's eyes narrowed and he sat down again, "Are you checking the post?"
"Isn't it okay to check the post?" Mrs. Zhou said sternly, "You are engaged to the Hua family. Except for Jingjing, you are not allowed to have contact with other women."
He leaned against the back of the sofa and simply stopped hiding it. His right leg was propped on the edge of the coffee table, and three large stains were clearly visible.
Cheng Xi remembered that night in the bathroom, she took a bath, and Zhou Jingchen took the initiative to wash her. She was not used to it and resisted him. He didn't even wear underwear, squatting on the edge of the bathtub, and there was a rush of arrogant hormones in his waist and abdomen.
"Wash it again."
She didn't understand, but she obeyed and washed it a second time.
Later, Cheng Xi went back to school and asked An Ran secretly. An Ran told her that men's sizes are larger, the quantity is larger, and there are more residues, so they need to be washed more often to get them clean.
She asked An Ran again if there was any scientific basis.
An Ran said that Zhong Wen showed off that a certain boyfriend was 18, which was so popular.
Cheng Xi didn't know what size Zhou Jingchen was.
In short, he is quite proud.
"You didn't ask Jingjing, what if it was her." Zhou Jingchen looked calm and unhurried.
Mrs. Zhou was dubious, "Is it really He Jingjing?"
"Then who do you suspect?" Zhou Jingchen and Madam Zhou looked at each other, looking carelessly on the surface, but in reality they were full of excitement.
Very tough.
However, Mrs. Zhou couldn't guess and her aura was weak, "I'm reminding you that you and Jingjing are not married yet. You must be loyal in the first few years of marriage. The stronger the relationship foundation, the better. If you make a mistake in middle age, Jingjing will always be there for you." She is willing to forgive you for those years of love."
Cheng Xi breathed out quietly.
Mrs. Zhou's ears and eyes were sharp, and she noticed that she was relieved at the side, and her heart sank inexplicably.
When there was no one in the living room, he quickly called Zhou Huaikang.
"I have a feeling something big is going on at home."
Zhou Huaikang was in a meeting with his subordinates, "You are thinking wildly again."
"Jingchen and Xi'er are most likely..." She really couldn't say the word adultery.
It was as if a movie was playing in front of Mrs. Zhou's eyes. From the incense burning at Puzhong Temple, to the blind date with the Ye family in Huiyuan, to the visit of the Geng family as guests, scenes unfolded. With all the ministers present, Xi'er always felt awkward and uncomfortable. , Mrs. Hua even asked her after the funeral whether their brother-sister relationship was close...
Why bother asking about these things for no reason?
The Hua family has never interfered with the Zhou family's family affairs.
Mrs. Zhou clutched the phone cord of her landline phone, her heart sinking even more.
...
Ye Bonan worked overtime at the company all night and rushed back to Ye's house at dawn.
Yezhai is a large courtyard in the Jin style, with orange-tiled sloped roofs and green-lacquered wooden beams. It is gorgeous and retro. It is said that the great-grandfather of the Ye family was from Shanxi, one of the top ten famous Shanxi merchants, and his descendants. The descendants have settled in other provinces one after another, but they still like the Jin family's house. Mr. Ye spent a huge sum of money to renovate Ye's house, which is worth hundreds of millions.
It is known as the "Tan Palace" in the north.
Mrs. Ye was cutting flower branches on the balcony of the living room. He walked over and got straight to the point, "I hope you will come forward for me and go to Zhou's house to discuss my engagement with Cheng Xi."
"Are you crazy?" Mrs. Ye's eyes widened. "Cheng Xi has a master. You and Geng Shiqing are robbing women. Do you think the Ye family is living in peace and want to provoke the Geng family?"
Ye Bonan had expected that Mrs. Ye would explode, so he remained calm, "The Ye family has been in business for generations, and if we can't ask for help from the Geng family, it doesn't matter if we offend her."
"Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials!" Mrs. Ye got up from her chair, "You can't ask for help from the Geng family, but your brother is working in the Geng family's circle and making a living. You, the elder brother, don't support him, but you still Will it drag him down?"
"Bowen won't blame me."
"The Ye family blames you!" Mrs. Ye firmly did not allow him to become an enemy of the Geng family.
Ye Bonan unbuttoned one button after another, took off his coat, and then took off his jacket, putting it on his arms.
"Cheng Xi's first blind date was me, with the Ye family first and the Geng family second. Since the Zhou family arranged for me first and proved that they recognized my conditions and I fell in love with her, Geng Shiqing must let me go."
