Chapter 46
“Su Chen, take the clothes upstairs first!”
Zhou Wanqiu found an excuse to change the topic.
Zhao Guirong said, “Su Chen just came back. Why are you in a hurry to go upstairs? Su Chen, I’ve prepared some fruits and milk for you. Come and have some.”
As she spoke, she pushed Su Chen onto the sofa.
Then, she brought the fruits and milk over.
“Su Chen, eat first. Do you want to soak your feet?” Zhao Guirong asked.
“Mrs. Zhao, I’ll do it myself!” Su Chen quickly said.
As he spoke, Su Chen quickly took a basin of water and sat down to soak his feet.
If he didn’t do it himself, Zhao Guirong would really help him get the water.
Su Chen ate fruit, drank milk, and soaked his feet.
He sighed to himself.
Mrs. Zhao was definitely a good wife and mother in the traditional sense. She had a gentle temper, a good personality, and was very caring towards others!
But Zhou Wanqiu didn’t inherit any of it.
Thinking of this, Su Chen turned to look at Zhou Wanqiu. Then, he quickly turned away in fear.
At this moment, Zhou Wanqiu’s eyes were burning with anger.
This b*stard, Su Chen!
He spent all day drinking, and now everyone at home was treating him like a big shot.
Zhou Wanqiu was furious.
“Wanqiu, come with me to the study,” said Zhou Pingjiang. “Let’s discuss some company matters.”
“Alright, Dad!”
Zhou Wanqiu responded and followed him into the study.
She didn’t want to stay in the living room any longer. Su Chen really annoyed her.
In the living room…
Zhao Guirong was watching TV.
Zhou Rongchang chatted with Su Chen.
Suddenly, Zhou Rongchang said, “Su Chen, when will you hold your wedding?”
Su Chen was shocked.
He thought quickly and found a good excuse. “Grandpa, my grandfather isn’t around right now. I don’t know when he’ll be back. I’d like him to be present for such a big event.”
Hearing this, Zhou Rongchang smiled and nodded.
“Yes! I didn’t consider that! You’re a sensible child!”
Su Chen thought to himself, ‘I’m not being sensible, I’m cherishing my life!’ ‘Your granddaughter wants to eat me up! We have a fake marriage certificate.’ ‘If we really have a wedding, Zhou Wanqiu will kill me.’ In the study room…
Zhou Pingjiang looked at Zhou Wanqiu and asked curiously, “Wanqiu, those clothes…”
Zhou Wanqiu was stunned and explained, “Yes, I bought them for him! I think it’s quite awkward for him to keep wearing your clothes!”
Zhou Wanqiudidn’t mention Su Chen’s lover.
“Alright then!”
Zhou Pingjiang nodded. “Anyway, you should be careful. Don’t fall for Su Chen!”
Hearing this, Zhou Wanqiu couldn’t sit still anymore.
“You think I have feelings for him? Dad, stop kidding around! I am now the CEO of Zhou Catering Group!”
“Besides, even if I wasn’t the CEO, I wouldn’t fall for Su Chen. I wouldn’t fall for him even if the only other choice is starving to death or jumping down from a tall building!”
Zhou Wanqiu vented, airing the anger she felt!
Zhou Pingjiang smiled. “I thought so. My daughter wouldn’t have such bad taste.”
“I called you over to ask about the food center project in Binjiang Entertainment City. Have you found out where the Yao family’s old master is staying?”
Zhou Wanqiu shook her head and said dejectedly, “I heard that this time, the Yao family’s elderly leader went on a simple trip. He didn’t bring many people with him, so it’s really hard to find out.”
“Even if we find him, I doubt that he’ll give us the time of day! The Yao family is too out of reach for us!”
“I’m afraid we won’t be able to get this project.
To be honest, I’m very curious about what Gao Renhuai is offering the Yao family!”
Zhou Pingjiang sighed. “I’m not sure either. He probably won’t reveal it until the contract is officially signed!”
The father and daughter looked at each other helplessly.
Su Chen went upstairs after soaking his feet. Taking advantage of Zhou Wanqiu’s absence, he quickly took a shower and changed his clothes.
Then, he unpacked his new clothes. Before long…
Zhou Wanqiu returned.
When she saw Su Chen sitting cross-legged on the floor in his new clothes, she pursed her lips in disgust.
This b*stard was so annoying! Zhou Wanqiu washed up and lay on the bed.
She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep! A million images were playing in her mind. She saw Su Chen saving her. Then, she saw Su Chen getting into a red Ferrari sports car.
Then, she saw Su Chen getting into a pink Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Then, she thought about Su Chen’s lover calling him, “darling”.
Then, she saw Su Chen wearing all kinds of branded clothes.
Her mind was a mess!
Su Chen was sitting cross-legged, and he could hear Zhou Wanqiu tossing and turning on the bed next to him. He thought Zhou Wanqiu was worried about the food center project of Binjiang Entertainment City.
He coughed. “CEO Zhou, don’t overthink things. Calm down. Everything isn’t that bad. Maybe something good will happen tomorrow!”
Su Chen tried to make his voice soothing, so he wouldn’t agitate Zhou Wanqiu.
However, it seemed like he was lighting a fuse.
“Shut up!”
“Everything isn’t that bad? How much worse could it get? You want to bring your two lovers to my house and sleep on my bed?”
“Something good might happen tomorrow? Like what? Which lover are you going to marry?
Or is the other one pregnant?”
Zhou Wanqiu’s tirades were like machine gun bullets. Su Chen was in a daze.
‘I’m talking about the food center. What are you talking about?’ ‘Why do you think I have two mistresses?’ ‘Who’s getting married?’ ‘With whom?’ ‘What the h*ll is this?’ Su Chen was completely speechless.
The woman was practically a tiger! His grandfather often told him things like this, and he was right!
After Zhou Wanqiu scolded Su Chen, she felt much more relaxed.
She fell asleep very quickly.
As Su Chen cultivated, he listened to her even breathing.
‘What’s wrong with you? If you don’t scold me, you won’t be able to sleep?’ ‘So, you were tossing and turning just now because you didn’t have a reason to scold me?’ Su Chen’s head hurt.
The next morning…
Zhou Wanqiu did not treat Su Chen any better.
But Su Chen was used to it.
Of course, when the two of them sat down at the breakfast table, Zhou Wanqiu still pretended to be nice.
Zhao Guirong didn’t question them. “Come! Su Chen, eat this egg. It’s good for your health!”
“Thank you, Mrs. Zhao!” Su Chen smiled. Zhou Rongchang reminded him, “You’re already married. Why are you calling her Mrs. Zhao? It’s time to call her Mom!” Zhao Guirong was filled with anticipation. Zhou Wanqiu’s expression changed. She pulled Su Chen away and said, “Let’s go. Don’t eat yet! There’s an emergency at the office!” Su Chen had no choice but to be dragged away. Zhao Guirong quickly chased after him. “Take this boiled egg with you. You can eat it in the car!”
Su Chen was touched.
Su Chen got into Zhou Wanqiu’s car and was about to eat the egg.
“Don’t eat in my car!” Zhou Wanqiu said, annoyed. “Oh!” Su Chen said indifferently. Zhou Wanqiu was even angrier. “I’m telling you, I won’t allow you to call my parents Mom and Dad!”
Su Chen asked, “They want me to call them that. What should I do?”
Zhou Wanqiu froze, then she said irritably, “I said you can’t. No means no!”
Su Chen was too lazy to question her further.
The two of them quickly arrived at the office. Su Chen got out of the car early and walked into the building. Coincidentally, there was a woman in the elevator.
It was none other than Zhou Wanqiu, who had already come up from the underground garage. “Hello, CEO Zhou!” Su Chen greeted her.
Zhou Wanqiu glanced at him and didn’t even make a sound. Her face was cold.
Su Chen stood helplessly and obediently in the corner.
If he could, he would rather wait for the next elevator, but he was afraid that Zhou Wanqiu would not like that either. Fortunately, the elevator arrived very quickly.
The elevator door opened, and they were about to separate.
In the end, there was a middle-aged man with a sinister expression standing in the corridor.
Zhou Wanqiu narrowed her eyes and said coldly, “He Zhentian.”
It was He Zhentian, Zhou Catering Group’s rival.
