Wife, baby, and a warm bed.
Married by circumstance + love after pregnancy + doting love + everyday sweet moments + raising children + male lead's hidden crush comes true.
Outwardly...
Chapter 86: Unwilling! Unwilling! Unwilling!
Zhou Jibai asked Shi Huai to go back to sleep first, as he had other things to deal with.
Shi Huai was a little reluctant, so he hugged Zhou Jibai's neck and kissed his face a few times: "The baby and I will wait for you to come back."
It was hard for Zhou Jibai not to feel soft-hearted when he saw his wife being so sweet and obedient to him.
He reached out and pinched the tip of Shi Huai's nose, and smiled: "Okay."
…
The next day, Haoting Group posted a Weibo.
Congratulations to our little lady for having her painting successfully exhibited at the Louvre! She also won the Most Popular Painting Award!
The picture below shows Zhou Chaolu sitting in the studio with an elegant and dignified posture, carefully sketching the painting with a brush.
The rumors are self-defeating!
Guangnan University students previously abused Zhou Zhaolu with the greatest malice, calling her a "socialite"
I didn’t expect that Zhou Chaolu was actually a real daughter!
The daughter of the most powerful family in the capital, Changjing! A true daughter, adored by all! A true socialite!
I didn’t expect that this young lady is so low-key in her daily life!
Does she need to be supported by a rich old man? Is there anyone in this country who is richer than the Zhou family?
Those who had followed the crowd and joined in cursing Zhou Chaolu felt their faces slap and it hurt terribly.
But the Zhou family will not easily let go of those who hurt Zhou Chaolu!
Anyone who participated in the online violence, rumors, and insults against Zhou Chaolu was sued by the Zhou family. What the Zhou family lacked the most was money, time, and connections.
Those who indiscriminately and with the utmost malice speculate and curse Zhou Chaolu face the risk of imprisonment, compensation, and expulsion.
Who dares to complain and curse Zhou Jiahao for being inhumane in the forum? They just made a casual comment, why are they so angry?
Comments will disappear in the blink of an eye once sent, and a lawyer's letter will pop up immediately in the text message.
The Zhou family suppressed the incident, and it disappeared without a trace. No negative comments about Zhou Zhaolu could be found. No one dared to mention it anymore.
As for Yan Hao, he is the real instigator behind this rumor.
He faces jail time and huge compensation.
The Zhou family finance department quickly sorted out how much money Zhou Chaolu had spent on him in the past year.
In just one year, Zhou Chaolu had spent millions on him! Although this amount of money seemed insignificant in the eyes of the Zhou family, it was enough to crush Yan Hao, a rotten bastard with nothing.
When the bill was sent to Yan Hao's mobile phone, Yan Hao had just finished taking the statement and was hiding at home, staring at the mobile phone screen with red eyes full of hatred.
Guangnan University also sent him a warning of expulsion. Within two days, what awaited him was seven years in prison and a future that he had destroyed himself.
Originally, the Zhou family wanted to arrest him immediately and make sure he would never be able to turn over a new leaf in his life, but Zhou Chaolu spoke up.
Give Yan Hao the last two days to return all the gifts she gave him to her, and then take him away after dealing with these things. He is now like a grasshopper in autumn, and he can't jump for a few more days.
Yan Hao fell into deep despair and lay on the shabby wooden bed.
He thought Zhou Chaolu was a wealthy young lady, but he never expected that she was the eldest daughter of the Changjing Zhou family!
That's the Changjing Zhou family! One of the world's top wealthy families!
A feeling of grief and unwillingness spread in Yan Hao's heart.
He can't just sit there and wait for death!
Most of the expensive gifts Zhou Chaolu had given him had been sold off by him. Now, all he had left were letters filled with girlish thoughts and some worthless handmade gifts.
Yan Hao took a deep breath, and the extreme and vicious thoughts once again emerged in his mind.
Zhou Chaolu, this ungrateful bastard! How dare she treat him like this!?
He had clearly tried his best to tolerate her, endure her temper, and love her. He hadn't expected this would be the result?
He was unwilling to accept this! He was unwilling to accept this! He was unwilling to accept this!
Isn’t he doing all this for Zhou Chaolu?
Zhou Chaolu is the daughter of a wealthy and powerful family, while he is just a poor student from a poor family!
If he didn't do this, if he didn't destroy Zhou Zhaolu, causing her to become inferior and degenerate, and only be able to rely on him! If he didn't destroy her, with Zhou Zhaolu's wealthy family and noble status, could they be together?
He did all this for Zhou Zhaolu and the future of their love! How could Zhou Zhaolu not be able to tell good from evil?!
Since he couldn't get Zhou Chaolu, and couldn't let Zhou Chaolu become an ordinary person and stay by his side...why not, just destroy her!
After nightfall, Zhou Chaolu received a message while lying in bed.
It was sent by Yan Hao.
[Yan Hao]: Chaolu, I know I was wrong.
[Yan Hao]: I know the damage I have caused you is irreversible, and I am willing to accept all punishments.
[Yan Hao]: I have sorted out our past memories. Would you like to meet me for the last time?
[Yan Hao]: This may be the last time we meet in this life.
[Yan Hao]: I know you hate me, and it doesn't matter if we don't meet. But I really want to personally hand over the traces of our love into your hands.
[Yan Hao]: Yan Hao will feel sorry for Zhou Chaolu for the rest of his life.
Zhou Chaolu saw a few messages and her tears soaked her pillow again.
She was not crying for Yan Hao.
I am crying for myself.
Such a good little girl actually met such a bad person.
The lover you thought you were closest to was actually the one who hurt you the most.
Zhou Zhaolu threw her phone aside, not wanting to pay attention to it. But as soon as she closed her eyes, all she could think of were the experiences she had with Yan Hao.
She likes old-fashioned dates, but Yan Hao is stingy and always wants to spend money here and there. He always has a sad face when they go on dates.
She likes to wear short skirts and has bright and bold clothing styles, but Yan Hao said he doesn't like it, saying that she was almost bullied before because of wearing these clothes.
She has a plump figure, but Yan Hao said she is too fat and should eat less.
Now thinking back, she realized that this man had always been so evil, full of poisonous sores. But she had always held the so-called white moonlight filter for him, repeatedly accommodating him, wronging herself, and ignoring her true feelings.
She is not a puppet to be manipulated by others, and she should not give in repeatedly for someone.
She is the daughter of the Zhou family and the apple of the family's eye.
Zhou Chaolu sat up from the bed.
After thinking things through, Zhou Chaolu became much more sober.
She wanted to say her final goodbye to Yan Hao.
Say goodbye to your unbearable first love.
…
Zhou Jibai has been busy with Zhou Chaolu's affairs recently and came home very late.
Shi Huai was waiting for him alone at his grandmother's house.
Zhou Chaolu has been under strict surveillance recently. Shi Huai sent her a message, and from her brief words, one could sense her unhappiness.
It is inevitable for a girl to feel depressed after a breakup.
Zhou Zhaolu was betrayed and hurt by the person she loved, so it was normal for her to be unable to accept it for a while. Shi Huai glanced at the time. It was only eight o'clock in the evening. Why not go and chat with Zhou Zhaolu and stay with her for a while.
She was very efficient in execution. As soon as the idea came into her head, she changed her clothes and called a taxi to go out.
Shi Huai sent a message to Zhou Chaolu, but Zhou Chaolu did not reply for a long time.
Normally Zhou Chaolu wouldn't be asleep at this time. Even if she was feeling down, she would always reply to her messages immediately.
A bad premonition crept into Shi Huai's heart. She felt uneasy and always felt as if something was about to happen.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the Zhou family’s detached villa in Guangnan.
Shi Huai glanced at the bodyguards guarding the villa door and asked where Zhou Chaolu was.
The bodyguards replied: "The young lady is in the house."
Since Shi Huai wanted to come in, they naturally did not dare to stop him and took the initiative to make way for him.
Shi Huai walked to Zhou Chaolu's bedroom with ease and knocked on the door gently, but was met with infinite coldness and silence.
The silence was too strange, Shi Huai frowned and pushed the door open.
What meets the eye is a desolate darkness.
The lights came on, and the empty room set off alarm bells in Shi Huai's heart!
Oh no! Zhou Chaolu is missing!
