When she was young, he said, "When we grow up, I'll marry you, then no one will dare to bully you anymore."
Later, he did marry her, but it wasn't because of that promise; it ...
Chapter 235 Chapter 235 Well, I don't believe it
As Zhou's mother spoke, she couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"But you're already married, Qinghuan. Please persuade Si Nian on behalf of your aunt. He will definitely listen to you."
"I, then I'll try it!"
"Auntie knew you would agree. You are still as well-behaved and sensible as when you were a child. It's fate that plays tricks on you. If your father were still alive, you and Si Nian might..."
Shen Qinghuan lowered her eyes, hiding the darkness in them.
"Auntie, it's all over. Don't worry! I will do my best to persuade him. Even if I can't convince him, I will try my best to stay away from him."
After hearing what she said, Zhou's mother's expression immediately eased a lot, "Thank you for your hard work."
"You're welcome, Auntie! If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
"Okay! Auntie will treat you to a meal later."
…
Shen Qinghuan thought to herself, forget about eating! It’s not like she’s so poor that she can’t afford to eat.
Suddenly she thought of something and curled her lips helplessly. Should she take the initiative to contact Zhou Sinian now?
After all, she had just promised Zhou's mother to help her persuade Zhou Sinian to marry Ren Shuyan as soon as possible.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Qinghuan picked up his phone and sent a message to Zhou Sinian.
Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together?
She originally thought Zhou Sinian was busy and would not reply to her message so quickly, but just as she was about to put the phone down, she heard the familiar message alert tone, and she quickly picked up the phone and opened the dialog box.
[Okay, what do you want to eat?]
[I haven't decided yet, I'll send you the address later! Or you can send me the address of what you want to eat.]
…
Shen Qinghuan went to the east of the city to inspect a house in the afternoon. When she finished, it was already six o'clock.
After the arrival of winter, it gets dark early. At just after six o'clock, the inky night covers the entire city.
Those twinkling lights lit up one after another.
As soon as Shen Qinghuan finished his work, he ran to the roadside to hail a taxi.
She and Zhou Sinian had an appointment at 6:30, but if she took a taxi from where she was now, it would only take more than ten minutes on ordinary days, but now it was rush hour, so it would take at least twenty minutes.
It was obvious that by the time she got to the restaurant, she must be late.
After finally hailing a taxi, she asked the driver to drive faster as soon as she got in.
But despite this, by the time she arrived at the restaurant, she was already ten minutes late.
Shen Qinghuan was still breathing heavily, and apologized to Zhou Sinian embarrassedly: "Sorry! I kept you waiting for so long."
The girl in front of me had a delicate little face that was flushed red. It was obvious that she had run all the way here after getting off the bus.
Zhou Sinian lowered his eyes, a smile curling up at the corner of his mouth, "I just arrived not long ago too."
"By the way, what would you like to eat? It's my treat tonight."
Shen Qinghuan said calmly, extending her hand to beckon the waiter over, "This way!"
Zhou Sinian couldn't help but smile. He took the menu from the waiter and glanced at it casually. "This, this, and this..."
He didn't bother to be polite with Shen Qinghuan at all and ordered three dishes in one go.
Finally, Shen Qinghuan added another dessert.
"Why did you suddenly think of treating me to a meal?" After returning the menu to the waiter, Zhou Sinian looked up at Shen Qinghuan with a slight smile on his lips.
Shen Qinghuan hesitated.
He was secretly thinking, should he tell him directly that he was entrusted by his mother to persuade him to marry Ren Shuyan? Or should he find a suitable opportunity to give him a subtle suggestion?
Unable to make a choice at the moment, I had to go along with what he said, "Didn't I say before that I would treat you to a meal? I happened to be not very busy today, so I called you."
Zhou Sinian, who didn't quite believe it: "..."
She had already moved back last night, so why did she suddenly want to have dinner with him?
Wouldn’t Mr. Jiang mind?
Shen Qinghuan's scalp tingled under Zhou Sinian's gaze. "What's that look in your eyes? Don't you believe me?"
"Well, I don't believe it."
“…”
"Is it obvious?"
Zhou Sinian couldn't help but laugh. "Tell me! What do you want from me? Just tell me directly."
Shen Qinghuan was a little annoyed. Did she really look like she was lying? And yet she was lying.
After a few seconds of silence with his head down, Shen Qinghuan seemed to have figured it out and was ready to go all out. "Forget it! Since you're so sure I have something to talk to you about, I'll just tell you straight away!"
"Your mother has been looking for me."
Zhou Sinian was slightly stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something. His expression changed instantly, and he looked a little nervous, but he pretended to be calm. "What did she say to you? Did she embarrass you?"
As if she could hear the worry in his tone, Shen Qinghuan hurriedly shook her head, "No! She didn't embarrass me, she just..."
Her mouth opened slightly and she paused unconsciously.
Zhou Sinian frowned and stared at her without blinking, afraid of missing any emotion on her face.
Meeting that pair of deep and sparkling eyes, Shen Qinghuan felt inexplicably guilty and looked away without leaving a trace.
She sighed slightly in her heart and said helplessly: "Actually, I didn't say anything. It's not a big deal. I just want me to persuade you. Miss Ren is good in all aspects and is a good match for you. I hope you can accept her instead of resisting her all the time."
Listening to Shen Qinghuan's words, Zhou Sinian suddenly laughed.
This was exactly how his mother did things, and it was something only his mother would do.
Let Shen Qinghuan personally persuade him to accept another woman.
She really thought about it.
Seeing that Zhou Sinian did not respond to her immediately, Shen Qinghuan pulled the corners of her mouth awkwardly, and her thick eyelashes like crow feathers trembled slightly, quickly covering up the helplessness deep in her eyes.
"You, if you really don't like her, then talk it over with your aunt. I don't think she'll force you to marry Miss Ren. She's probably just worried about your marriage, so..."
As Shen Qinghuan spoke, he began to feel a little unconvinced.
It’s simply that Zhou’s mother likes Ren Shuyan and thinks that Ren Shuyan is suitable to be their Zhou family’s daughter-in-law.
Zhou Sinian said nothing and just looked at her leisurely.
Shen Qinghuan forced herself to smile awkwardly, regretting in her heart that she had taken on such a demolition job.
"Huanhuan, do you believe it when you say this?" Zhou Sinian laughed at himself.
Shen Qinghuan's cheeks turned red, and she felt so embarrassed that she wished she could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
But thinking of what Zhou's mother had told her, she steeled her mind and said, "Of course I believe it, Zhou Sinian. Auntie asked you to marry Miss Ren for your own good."
“…”
Changed the name again?
Shen Qinghuan bit the corner of her lip, unable to withstand the look in Zhou Sinian's eyes, but she had no choice. With Zhou's mother's temper, if she didn't help to get this matter settled, she would definitely come to her again later.
"Why don't you agree to spend some time with Miss Ren? What if you find her suitable? Love grows over time. If you spend a lot of time together, the feelings will naturally..."
Before Shen Qinghuan could finish, Zhou Sinian interrupted her with a sneer, "Do you really want me to marry another woman?"
