Chapter 32 Have you ever considered having a child with Uncle Zhou?

In fact, Zhou Zexi was just guessing, and there was no evidence to prove it. He didn't have the courage to doubt Zhou Jinbai and Su Li.

After all, these two people rarely say a few words when they meet, but Zhou Jinbai is indeed too good to Su Li. Even when they divorced, most of the property was given to Su Li.

Zhou Zexi felt that even if he had done something wrong first, Zhou Jinbai, as his biological father, should not blame others. Putting all this aside, he, Zhou Zexi, was not someone who needed those properties, so he would just give them to Su Li.

But since the divorce, Su Li's career luck has suddenly improved. First, she won the leading role in "The Merchant Daughter of the Qin Family", and then became the chief spokesperson for the luxury brand "Jingzhihua" in the Asia-Pacific region. As a grassroots actress, Zhou Zexi did not believe that Su Li had this ability.

He couldn't help but suspect Zhou Jinbai, but Zhou Jinbai was cleared of everything with Su Lizhe, and he couldn't catch any scene of them having any contact at all.

He felt that he was worrying too much, and he hoped that he was worrying too much. If his ex-wife had an affair with his father, he might as well die. It couldn't be that his divorce was just to make Zhou Jinbai and Su Li happy, right?

The more Zhou Zexi thought about it, the more frightened he became. If his guess was correct, then when did Su Li and Zhou Jinbai get together?

Before or after the divorce, if it was before the divorce, then Su Li's acting skills can be said to be first-class.

Zhou Zexi didn't dare to think about it anymore. He could only put his hope on Zhou Jinbai. Based on his understanding of Zhou Jinbai, he was not a man without virtue.

He reassured himself, thinking that if they were really having an affair, there would definitely be clues, and he would pay more attention in the future.

Unsurprisingly, the endorsement of Jingzhihua was won by Su Li, and all the stars and actors who came to the meeting became runners-up. When the brand said that a spokesperson had been chosen, some people started to complain about the sour grapes and made outrageous remarks.

"How amazing is that? The last person to take on an endorsement, Zhu Caiqing, had her reputation fall apart within a year. Wasn't her status higher than anyone else? She was still banned after the fall and there's been no news from her at all. Let's see how long this one can hold on."

"With so many famous people here, they're not looking at it, but they're hiring an 18th-tier unknown. I don't know what they were thinking. I want to see what kind of beautiful person got the endorsement?"

"Who is the big boss who's promoting this person? Please, look at their abilities and stop promoting just any little guy. The threshold to enter the entertainment industry is really low."

"When I came in, I saw a golden dragon running across the decorative lights outside the hotel. As everyone knows, the characteristic of this hotel is that every time a big shot arrives, there will be a different animal pattern. The golden dragon represents a top big shot, and there are only a handful of top big shots in Beijing."

"It's really the capital that's supporting them. We're just runners-up. I want to see who's so amazing that the capital bosses are spending money like water. It must be a celestial being, right?"

Zhou Zexi listened to their words and looked for Jiang Wen for a long time. At the meeting, he announced that the spokesperson had been selected. After everyone left in twos and threes, Jiang Wen appeared.

Zhou Zexi looked around and saw that most of the reporters had left. He cautiously approached Jiang Wen and asked, "Is the top boss here today my dad?"

Jiang Wen nodded respectfully, "The master is busy with work and has no time for such occasions. He is working overtime."

Zhou Zexi couldn't help but ask, "Then why did you come here with Su Li? Are you two such a close friend?"

Jiang Wen's emotions were calm and composed, worthy of being Zhou Jinbai's follower. Even if the sky fell, his expression would not change.

He simply said, "The young mistress suddenly asked for help and needed a male companion. She happened to meet me and told me about it. I asked the master, and he agreed, so I came."

Zhou Zexi, “…”

Jiang Wen told him not to overthink it. "My relationship with the young mistress is innocent. She treated me well when she was in the Zhou family, so I'm happy to help her. Young Master, don't overthink it."

Zhou Zexi didn't believe his nonsense and left before he finished speaking. Jiang Wen sent a message to Zhou Jinbai.

Zhou Jinbai originally wanted to wait until the meeting was over before leaving, but Jiang Wen suddenly sent a message saying that Zhou Zexi came to interrogate him again. Zhou Jinbai knew that this guy was not giving up yet.

He gave Hou Jiangyong some instructions and left. Nothing major happened at the venue, so there was no need for him to worry. He was afraid that these people would embarrass Su Li, so he came to watch in person.

After finishing his work, he went home early before Zhou Zexi returned home.

Just as he expected, he had just arrived at Zhou's house and changed into home clothes when Zhou Zexi's Bugatti entered the Zhou mansion.

Zhou Jinbai took a look from the second-floor window, sneered, and prepared to go downstairs.

The nanny was cleaning the living room, doing the final cleaning of the day and getting ready to go home.

As soon as Zhou Zexi entered the room, he asked, "Is the master home? Is he working overtime at the company?"

Just as he finished asking, Zhou Jinbai came down from the stairs and looked at him with cold and indifferent eyes.

"What did you come back to me in such a hurry to confirm?"

Zhou Zexi was stunned and thought it was impossible. If the top boss going to "Gao Shan Liu Shui" today was Zhou Jinbai, then he should not have withdrawn from the brand by now.

So if the big boss going there today is not Zhou Jinbai, then who could it be?

Who is supporting Su Li?

Which capital tycoon?

Zhou Zexi felt like his teeth were about to break. After looking at Zhou Jinbai for a long time, he finally suppressed his anger.

He calmed down before answering Zhou Jinbai, "It's nothing, Dad. Something unexpected happened today and I feel uncomfortable."

Zhou Jinbai's expression remained unchanged. He walked to the sofa and sat down, saying indifferently, "Tell me."

Zhou Zexi sat across from him, feeling like he was about to burst his anger. He paused before looking up at Zhou Jinbai, "I went to the brand's meeting today and met Su Li. She was with Butler Jiang."

Zhou Jinbai hummed without any emotion, "Well, Jiang Wen said that the young mistress asked him for help and was short of a male companion, so I asked him to go. What's wrong?"

After Zhou Zexi confirmed that the boss was not Zhou Jinbai, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, I don't know. I thought... I'm sorry, I was so angry when I sent you a WeChat message. I thought it was you."

Zhou Jinbai's lips curled up inexplicably, but his expression remained stern. "Do you suspect I'm having an affair with her?"

Zhou Zexi quickly denied it, "No, I just said that because I was angry and confused. Don't bother with me, Dad."

Zhou Jinbai showed no emotion. "So now you've come to a conclusion?"

Zhou Zexi thought for a moment and scratched his hair irritably. "I don't think Su Li and I can remarry. She must be supported by some capital, otherwise she wouldn't have so many good things happen to her."

Zhou Jinbai asked, "And then?"

Zhou Zexi's expression was a little distorted. "Don't you think she's a terrible person? For so-called resources, she climbed into the big boss's bed in the blink of an eye. How disgusting."

Zhou Jinbai asked again, "What about you? Do you think cheating on your spouse is disgusting?"

Zhou Zexi was stunned by his question. He looked at Zhou Jinbai for a long time without saying anything.

Zhou Jinbai's expression remained as stern as ever. "Before you blame others, ask yourself first. I, Zhou Jinbai, have accumulated virtue and done good deeds throughout my life, but I have never done anything like this. As my son, the young master of the Zhou family, you've become arrogant after gaining a little fame, and no one is worthy of your attention. You think her status doesn't match yours, so you don't treat her as a human being. Now that she has an opportunity and a shining point, you feel unwilling to accept it. But how many opportunities are there in this world for you to regret?"

Zhou Zexi, “…”

Zhou Jinbai's emotions were always quite stable, and his tone didn't even change. "If you don't cherish her, don't blame others for not giving you a chance. She left you for a better place, that's her ability. She can let others pamper her, that's also her ability. If you don't accept it, you can only hold it in, because you don't have a chance anymore."

Zhou Zexi sighed heavily, "I want to keep her. I still have feelings for her."

Zhou Jinbai looked at him coldly, "But just like you said, she has become someone else's guest."

Zhou Zexi clenched his fists. "I won't give up easily. That person is in the dark and can't even see anyone. Su Li is in the entertainment industry. She knows that unspoken rules can ruin all a person's efforts. If she's exposed as having a sponsor right after she becomes famous, I don't think she'll get far."

Zhou Jinbai, "..."

Zhou Zexi's tone didn't sound like a joke. "If she's willing to remarry me, then I won't be in the entertainment industry anymore. I can go home and inherit the family business, and let you enjoy your old age."

Zhou Jinbai said nothing and got up and left.

Zhou Zexi continued behind him, "I'm telling the truth. Haven't you been looking forward to my return home for a long time? As long as Su Li remarries me this time, I will definitely come home."

Zhou Jinbai only gave him four words, "Come back if you want."

In the past, he felt that his efforts were enough for a lifetime. When Zhou Zexi grew up and his son started a family, he would give all his life's work to Zhou Zexi, let him fight, and prepare to retreat to the second line.

But this rebellious son never gave him face, especially now, he suddenly lost that thought. Now he has hope and can continue to struggle for at least twenty years.

For someone like Zhou Zexi, even if you give him the whole world, he will still be defeated.

I used to want to give him all the best, but now I don’t think that way.

If Su Li is willing to marry him and they have another child, then all the property will belong to his biological son in the future.

It has nothing to do with Zhou Zexi.

If Su Li is unwilling to marry him or have a child with him, then all his efforts over the years will be given back to society when he is too old to work hard.

People like Zhou Zexi really don't deserve to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. Let him know how hard it is to make money and how hard it is to eat shit. Then he will know how hard it is for him to have everything he has now.

Zhou Jinbai ignored Zhou Zexi again. Zhou Zexi stayed at home for a while and went to take a look at his and Su Li's wedding room. He had taken apart all the things related to Su Li, including the wedding photos.

When they just got divorced, he was really stubborn. He felt that he would never look at Su Li again in his life, so he burned all their wedding photos.

Now he frantically searched for Su Li's things at home, but found nothing. It seemed that even the memories between them had become a past that was too painful to look back on.

Zhou Zexi couldn't find Su Li's things, so he started smashing things in the bedroom. The servants all heard it, but no one dared to stop him.

Just as they were smashing the things, Jiang Wen came back and everyone asked him to go see Zhou Zexi.

Jiang Wen thought about Zhou Zexi's condition today and silently chose to ignore it.

Zhou Zexi left after smashing the things. Jiang Wen ordered someone to clean the room, and he went to find Zhou Jinbai to report the results of the meeting.

"The young lady has returned to Jiangshan Film Studio. Boss Hou was with her during the meeting. The brand didn't make things difficult for her. They just said they would see the results. If the results are not good, they can terminate the contract at any time."

Zhou Jinbai just nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

Jiang Wen talked about Zhou Zexi again.

"The young master was smashing things downstairs. Did you hear it?"

Zhou Jinbai didn't feel any emotion.

"Let him smash it. I'll see if he can tear this house apart."

Jiang Wen said nothing more and left according to the rules.

Zhou Jinbai waited until Jiang Wen left before picking up his phone, his WeChat messages were about to explode.

Some are from Zhang Qingchi, some are from brands, and some are from Lin Youqin and Su Li.

The WeChat messages showed 99+. He skipped those messages and directly clicked into Su Li’s WeChat dialog box.

She asked Zhou Jinbai: [Is Uncle Zhou coming tonight?]

Zhou Jinbai casually replied: [Aren’t you afraid of being discovered?]

Su Li quickly replied: "I've already gone home. If you're scared, you can come later."

Zhou Jinbai lowered his eyes: [Then I'll come later. If you're sleepy, go to bed first.]

Su Li replied: [I'm not sleepy, I'm very energetic, I'll wait for you.]

Zhou Jinbai asked: [What if I don't come?]

Su Li: [If you don't come, I'll keep you from getting up next time.]

Zhou Jinbai chuckled: [So fierce?]

Su Li: [It's really fierce, you know that.]

Zhou Jinbai: [I like your fierce look, it's full of energy.]

Su Li hugged the quilt and looked at Zhou Jinbai's reply, feeling as sweet as honey.

She didn't know whether Zhou Jinbai would come. Zhou Jinbai asked her to lock the doors and windows, and if he came, he would come before twelve o'clock.

Su Li was waiting for him.

I was bored and sent a message to the group of four sisters.

[You guys have been very quiet lately? What's going on?]

After a while, Li Manman looked at her through the window.

[Susu, didn’t Xinyi tell you? ]

Su Li had a bad feeling.

What's going on?

Xinyi got pregnant before marriage, and her husband was irresponsible. She has attempted suicide several times, but has not yet had surgery and is waiting for compensation.

【……】

We all tried to persuade her to be more open-minded, but she just wouldn't let us talk to you.

Su Li felt that there was something wrong with Shen Xinyi, and it turned out that this was the problem.

It hasn't been long since we last contacted each other and she got pregnant.

Su Li and Li Manman exchanged a few words and planned to take advantage of the two days of free time to visit Chen Xinyi.

She fell asleep while waiting, but she didn't dare to sleep too deeply, for fear that no one would open the door for Zhou Jinbai when he came.

At about half past eleven, she heard the sound of a car downstairs and suddenly woke up. After waking up, she looked at her mobile phone and saw that Zhou Jinbai had sent her a message.

[I'm downstairs. If you don't reply to me within ten minutes, I'll go back. You should have a good rest.]

Su Li immediately got up and went downstairs to open the door for him, her hair all messy.

Seeing that she was still waiting for him so late, Zhou Jinbai felt warm in his heart again.

He had lived for most of his life, and no one had ever waited for him late at night.

Su Li took his hand and walked into the house, locked the courtyard door and the room door, turned off the lights, and took him to the bedroom on the second floor.

It can be seen that Su Li is in a good mood because he can come.

Zhou Jinbai picked her up at the bedroom door and asked, "Do you want to see me so much?"

Su Li didn't hide her longing for him, "I miss you so much. Did you go to the venue tonight?"

Zhou Jinbai smiled gently, "What do you think?"

Su Li pinched his face with both hands, "Of course he went. I saw your assistant, Qin."

Zhou Jinbai sat on the sofa holding the person and took a deep breath. "You figured this out? You seem quite smart."

Su Li nodded, "Of course, I'm definitely smart. Do you think I won't know where you are if you don't show up?"

Zhou Jinbai watched her chattering non-stop, his eyes never moving away. "Did they give you any trouble?"

Su Li shook her head. "No, look at that venue. It's full of A-list celebrities. I'm afraid they'll surround me."

Zhou Jinbai chuckled, "It's not that exaggerated."

Su Li hugged his neck tightly. "You don't understand. People's jealousy is terrible. Just wait and see. As soon as I cooperate with this brand, I will definitely become a frequent visitor to the hot searches. Everyone will dig up my negative information."

Zhou Jinbai asked casually, "What black material do you have? Did you marry a top star and get cheated on?"

Su Li looked into Zhou Jinbai's eyes for a long time, then laughed out loud, her clear laughter sounding like a silver bell.

"Isn't it a domineering father-in-law and a pretty daughter-in-law?"

“…”

Seeing Zhou Jinbai frown, Su Li laughed even more wildly.

"By then, I won't be the only one being attacked. Maybe even Zhou Zexi's career will be in jeopardy."

Zhou Jinbai grabbed her hand and gently stroked her fingers. "You don't look worried at all. You're smiling so happily. It doesn't look like you've been exposed for any scandal."

Su Li said generously, "Let's wait until someone finds out. Besides, our Uncle Zhou has supernatural powers, how can they find out? If I were to be found out, Uncle Zhou would have no chance of staying in Beijing anymore."

Zhou Jinbai was amused by her, "It seems you have great confidence in me."

Su Li nodded, "You're too confident. I feel so strong now. Who can be as mighty as my tree?"

Zhou Jinbai looked at her proud and adorable face and was fascinated. "Since your Uncle Zhou is so powerful, have you ever considered having a child with him and inheriting his wealth in the future?"

Su Li was stunned for a moment, blinked and looked into Zhou Jinbai's eyes, meeting his gentle and calm gaze, "You want a child?"

Zhou Jinbai's long eyelashes drooped. "Although some of these words sound selfish, they are indeed what I really think. If I say that I don't want anything from being with you, that would be a lie. I want your beauty, your body, your heart, everything about you. I want to use every possible means to prove that I once had you. Do you understand?"

Su Li calmed down, looked at him for a few seconds, and frowned, "Who provoked you? Could it be your son again?"

Zhou Jinbai's hand slipped under the edge of her pajamas and rested on her flat belly. "I've worked hard for half my life, and I don't want him to get away with it. If you give me a child, and the family fortune falls into the hands of my own child, wouldn't that be a better way to get back at him? He'll definitely be devastated."
