The...
Chapter 90 is good.
Suddenly, Zhou Mingshi reached out and touched the top of her head.
She looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“A few petals have fallen,” he said, picking off a petal to show her.
A gust of wind swept by, and pink petals fluttered everywhere.
Some landed on her, some landed on him...
Lin Yi'an smiled at him and said, "We both have flower petals on us."
Zhou Mingshi's gaze fell on her smiling eyes, and he stepped forward to embrace her: "Do you want me to take them off?"
Lin Yi'an said, "Lower your head..."
Before she could finish speaking, he silenced her with a kiss.
Lin Yi'an opened her eyes slightly.
After a moment, he released her, pressed his forehead against hers, and said in a low, gentle voice with a hint of helplessness, "You should close your eyes now."
Lin Yi'an glared at him: "...You're too sudden, I didn't react in time."
Looking into her slightly reproachful eyes, Zhou Mingshi felt a surge of pleasure and whispered to her lips, "Okay, it was my fault."
As soon as he finished speaking, his lips touched hers again.
Gu Tingyu, her older brother, and her future sister-in-law Wu Jingjing came to visit their father over the weekend.
Aunt Tan went to instruct the kitchen to prepare the meal. She and Wu Jingjing heard that the cherry blossoms in the back garden were in bloom, so they came to the back garden.
Turning the corner, I looked up and saw two people passionately kissing under the cherry blossoms.
Gu Tingyu almost shouted it out, but Wu Jingjing covered her mouth.
Gu Tingyu removed her hand and stared blankly at them.
Wu Jingjing nudged her, and Gu Tingyu snapped out of her daze. The two of them didn't dare to disturb them and hurriedly ran away.
When Zhou Mingshi noticed the commotion, he only caught a glimpse of their backs out of the corner of his eye before looking away, thinking they were being sensible.
Lin Yi'an: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Mingshi: "It's nothing."
After saying that, he picked a pink magnolia that was reaching out from the side, tucked it behind her ear, looked at her, and praised with a smile, "You are more beautiful than the flower."
Lin Yi'an also picked a magnolia blossom and tucked it behind his ear: "It's only fair to reciprocate."
Her occasional mischief pleased Zhou Mingshi. He led her outside without taking off the flower she had personally put on his hair, and they walked into the courtyard. Even though it might embarrass him, he seemed quite happy to do so.
Tan Qingwen came out of the kitchen and saw the flowers on the young couple's ears, and couldn't help but smile: "Beautiful."
Ms. Wu found it amusing; this was truly a case of a loving son and daughter-in-law, praising each other regardless of beauty or ugliness.
However, Qingwen's son and daughter-in-law are indeed good-looking.
Zhou Mingshi said casually, "Your daughter-in-law put it on me."
Tan Qingwen went along with his words and praised, "Anything An'an wears is naturally good."
Zhou Mingshi smiled and said, "Mm."
The two sat down. Gu Tingyu thought of the scene she had just witnessed and couldn't help but glance at them a few times. Unexpectedly, she met Zhou Mingshi's expressionless eyes.
She gave an awkward smile, but he immediately looked away expressionlessly. She stopped smiling, clearly realizing that her scrutiny had displeased him.
She felt a little uncomfortable and stopped making any unnecessary movements.
On the Zhou family's side, Zhou Kanghui led his men to the next house.
When Sun Yurong saw him coming, her expression stiffened, and she asked, "I'm moving, what are you doing here with people?"
Zhou Kanghui didn't even want to see her now, let alone talk to her. He didn't say anything, but ordered people to move his things: "Move all the ornaments and antiques in the study to the next room and put them in the old man's study."
His original study was taken over by his son and used as a pharmacy for An'an, so he no longer has a study.
His son occupies his study, so he occupies his father's study; it's perfectly reasonable.
Upon hearing his words, the maid carefully went over and packed the items into the box.
Zhou Kanghui: "The wine on the wine cabinet also needs to be moved over there."
When Sun Yurong moved, her family came to help. When Sun Yurong's older brother saw his ex-brother-in-law arrive, he didn't even greet him or look at him. He was so angry that his face turned ashen.
His son, Sun Caijie, thought it was normal. He was a young master from a wealthy family, and even if he was over fifty, he was still a young master from a wealthy family, so he would naturally have the temper he was supposed to have.
He thought that since he would become like Zhou Mingshi in the future, he should get used to this kind of life as soon as possible.
Sun Yurong ran over and questioned, "You're taking all these things with you? You don't plan to leave any for Mingyuan and Jiajia?"
Zhou Kanghui then looked at her properly: "I will naturally give Mingyuan his things. I came to move my things today mainly to keep an eye on you. Who knows if you will take my things while you are moving?"
“You… Zhou Kanghui, you underestimate me. I, Sun Yurong, have my pride. I wouldn’t stoop so low as to take all your things.”
Sun Yurong blushed with anger and refused to admit that he had seen through her thoughts.
They're divorced, and Zhou Kanghui's things are still there. She originally planned to move today and take some with her, but she didn't expect this man to be so wary of her.
Watching the servants carry things out one by one, her heart was bleeding. She was extremely annoyed. She had been so focused on fighting with He Xishan the past few days that she hadn't thought to move her things out ahead of time, and now she could only watch helplessly as they took everything away.
Seeing her expression change repeatedly, He Xishan couldn't help but ask, "Are you regretting not moving your things out little by little a few days ago?"
Sun Yurong was already furious, and this only added fuel to the fire, so of course she didn't give her a pleasant look and glared at her fiercely.
Zhou Kanghui said, "That's no use. Everything I own is recorded. There are cameras all over the house. If anything is stolen, I will ask her to compensate me."
Sun Yurong looked at him and sneered, "You actually believed her? You've always been easily swayed. I didn't expect you to not even see through a little girl's tricks? You deserve to be fooled by me for so many years."
Now that things have come to a head, she's too lazy to hide anything anymore.
He Xishan glared at her angrily, then subconsciously looked at her father-in-law. Of all the Zhou family members, she liked this father-in-law the most. He never looked down on her or brought up her status. She cared a lot about what her father-in-law thought of her.
Zhou Kanghui said indifferently, "Anyway, I won't rely on them for my old age. I have An'an and Mingshi to take care of me. I don't care what tricks she has up her sleeve, as long as she doesn't provoke me."
Zhou Mingyuan looked at him sadly: "Dad, you don't plan to have me as your son anymore? You won't even let me take care of you when you're old?"
Zhou Kanghui said irritably, "Isn't it better if I don't let you interfere?"
“I’ve given all my shares to An’an. An’an is filial, and with her taking care of me, you can rest assured.”
Everyone will know that An'an got the shares in the future; he doesn't intend to keep it a secret.
He Xishan was surprised to hear this. She remembered that when Lin Yi'an got married, her father-in-law gave her two percent of the shares. Now he was giving them to her again? Wasn't it supposed to be given to Zhou Mingshi? Why was it given to Lin Yi'an?
Does your father-in-law really like Lin Yi'an as his daughter-in-law?
Zhou Mingyuan forced a smile, looking dejected. His father preferred to believe that his daughter-in-law would be filial to him rather than believe that he, her son, was the one he was looking for. What else could he say?
Zhou Jia remained silent. She already knew from last time that her father had given the shares to her second brother. As for whether it was given to her second brother or her sister-in-law, what difference did it make?
Anyway, she didn't get any.
Hearing this from the side, Sun Caijie wanted to step forward and question why the shares had been given to Lin Yi'an.
But he wasn't Zhou Mingshi yet; he wasn't qualified. He could only swallow his anger, cursing Zhou Kanghui to death in his heart—a useless old man who couldn't even manage the shares properly, giving them to an outsider instead of his son, a damn old bastard...
And then there's the Lin family woman, so greedy. Not content with just two percent of the Zhou family's shares, she also took the remaining three percent from Zhou Kanghui. A woman like that, once she becomes Zhou Mingshi...
After dinner, Gu Boyuan's son, Gu Xiangming, explained his purpose: "Jingjing and I are getting married on May Day. This is the invitation. Aunt, Mingshi, and your sister-in-law will all be there."
Tan Qingwen accepted the invitation. Ming Shi and An An were getting married, and Gu Boyuan had given a wedding gift. She would simply return the favor with a gift. As for attending in person, it wouldn't be appropriate for her status, so she had no intention of doing so.
If she doesn't go, Mingshi and An'an are even less likely to go; as long as they send their gifts, it will be fine.
After delivering the invitations, Gu Xiangming and his group took their leave.
After they left, Zhou Mingshi and Lin Yi'an also went back.
