Zhou Shufen devoted her entire life to the Zhao family, only to become a burden to her children in the end. The five siblings fought each other fiercely over their interests. Her daughter-in-law cu...
Chapter 69 Narcissist
Zhou Shufen was tidying up the dishes on the table with her head down, her brows slightly furrowed.
"I've noticed that I get attention wherever I go, I'm really popular! Just now in the mall, several young girls secretly turned around to look at me!"
Zhou Dajun glanced at her, then showed off.
"oh?"
Zhou Shufen raised her head, a feigned innocent look of confusion on her face.
"Are you very popular in our family? Everyone is eager to talk to you?"
"Of course, it's not just at home!"
Zhou Dajun raised his chin slightly, looking smug.
"I advise you to cherish these days while I'm still by your side. If you miss this opportunity, it will be hard to find someone as charming and charismatic as me again! By then, it will be too late to regret it!"
Zhou Shufen rolled her eyes inwardly, but forced a smile on her face.
"Really? You're really amazing."
But Zhou Dajun didn't notice her perfunctory attitude at all; instead, he became more and more enthusiastic as he talked.
The following period was pure torture.
He never stopped talking, constantly emphasizing how charming and popular he was.
From female colleagues at work to elderly women in the neighboring community.
From young girls to retired aunties, he can tell you a story of "ambiguous interaction".
Even if they felt nauseous, they could only force themselves to nod and agree.
I was afraid of accidentally angering this "narcissist".
"To be honest, being too attractive can also be a problem."
Zhou Dajun sighed as he ate, feigning a troubled expression.
"But don't worry, I will definitely stick to my principles this time. If the temptations outside are too great, don't blame me too much. After all, I'm just an ordinary man."
Zhou Shufen finally couldn't take it anymore.
She slammed her rice bowl down and immediately stood up.
"I've finished eating, I'm going to rest now. Guifang, you're not feeling well, you should go to sleep early too."
"knew!"
Guifang quickly stood up, understanding immediately, and hurried back to her room.
Over here, Zhou Dajun continued to talk non-stop.
He was radiant, as if he were standing at the pinnacle of life, receiving the worship of the masses.
But when he turned around, he found that all the audience members had run away.
Zhou Dajun suddenly felt listless, and the passion he had felt earlier vanished.
But when he turned to look at Zhou Haiqing, who was still sitting on the sofa, his eyes darted around, and he put on a "meaningful" expression.
"Come here, Dad will teach you some useful tips today. Even if you only learn half of them, it will be enough for you in the future!"
Zhou Haiqing had no way to refuse, so he could only slump stiffly on the sofa, inwardly groaning.
Inside the room, Zhou Shufen gritted her teeth, her lips almost pressed into marks by them.
She kept telling herself to be patient, to stay calm, and not to cause a scene at this time.
In order to get rid of this mess completely in the future, we can only endure it for now.
But no one expected that Zhou Dajun would come up with a new trick the very next morning...
As usual, Zhou Shufen got up at dawn to make breakfast.
Then she quietly packed her things, preparing to go to class.
Just as she picked up her bag to leave, Zhou Dajun suddenly appeared at the door, blocking her way.
"You're leaving so early? Shall I go with you?"
Zhou Shufen was too lazy to pay attention to him.
"Get out of the way."
But Zhou Dajun grabbed her arm with such force that she almost stumbled.
"Didn't you say you forgave me? It would be nice if I gave it to you, and it would also show others that you have someone taking care of you now, so they won't have any bad ideas."
Hearing this, Zhou Shufen felt nauseous and even her breathing became heavy.
But if they don't agree now, they probably won't even be able to leave the house.
Zhou Shufen suppressed her irritation and nodded reluctantly.
"Alright, then you should leave now."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Dajun immediately walked forward triumphantly.
But after walking a few steps, I realized that I had no idea where I was going.
In the end, Zhou Dajun could only turn around with an embarrassed smile and wait for Zhou Shufen to point him in the right direction.
The two walked in silence until they finally arrived at the place where they were studying.
Just as Zhou Shufen was about to step inside, Zhou Dajun reached out and grabbed her hand again.
She looked down at the other one and instinctively tried to break free.
But when he thought about his own plans, he had no choice but to control himself.
"you……"
Suddenly, a trembling voice came from behind me.
Zhou Shufen turned around abruptly and saw Guo Zhenyi.
Guo Zhenyi stood a few steps away, his gaze sweeping back and forth between her and Zhou Dajun's clasped hands.
His eyes betrayed his heartache and disappointment.
Just as Zhou Shufen was about to explain, Zhou Dajun spoke first.
He raised his chin and looked at Guo Zhenyi with a smug expression.
"Oh, it's you! You even hit me at the door the other day."
"What a pity, all that effort wasted."
He continued, his voice laced with sarcasm.
"She couldn't live without me, so she took the initiative to bring me back. Not only do we plan to remarry, but we also want to live a loving and harmonious life together forever!"
Zhou Dajun knew that Guo Zhenyi had feelings for Zhou Shufen.
Moreover, he knew in his heart that Guo Zhenyi's character and qualities were far superior to his own.
That's why he pierced Guo Zhenyi's heart with every word he uttered.
Just to make them completely give up on their hopes.
Guo Zhenyi felt sullen, and anger surged in his eyes.
He really wanted to rush up and punch that disgusting smile to shatter it, and kick away the hand that was holding Zhou Shufen.
But he ultimately restrained himself from moving.
Guo Zhenyi wanted to respect Zhou Shufen's choice.
Moreover, he was unsure whether Zhou Shufen had any ulterior motives.
So even though I felt wronged and heartbroken, I restrained myself, hoping not to cause her any trouble.
"Showing off something like this? That's ridiculous."
Guo Zhenyi tried his best to suppress the turmoil in his heart and keep his tone as calm as possible.
Then, he walked past Zhou Dajun, his gaze fixed on the entrance of the building, and walked in step by step.
"Stop pretending to be high and mighty! You can't have her, so you say she's generous? You'd better stay away from Shufen. I don't have your good temper. If you really push me too far, I'll get angry!"
Zhou Dajun shouted loudly at his back, his tone filled with provocation and disdain.
Guo Zhenyi paused slightly, his body stiffening almost imperceptibly.
But he never looked back; he just kept his head down and moved forward.
Throughout the entire incident, Zhou Shufen remained silent.
She kept her head down, like a puppet on a string, letting Zhou Dajun hold her hand.
All the hard work of the past few days cannot be ruined by a moment of weakness.
She couldn't take that risk, even though it hurt like her heart was being cut by a knife.
"I'm sorry... I'll explain. But right now, I have to keep up the act in front of him. Don't blame me... don't hate me..."
Zhou Shufen said silently to herself, her lips trembling slightly.
"Alright, done with all that fuss? Happy now? I'm off to school, I don't have time to waste with you!"
Zhou Shufen suddenly shook off Zhou Dajun's hand, her tone cold and hard.
She then turned around abruptly and rushed into the building.
"Still pretending to be reserved!"
Zhou Dajun stood there, grinning, his eyes full of self-satisfaction.
He felt that what he had just done was absolutely perfect.
He not only suppressed Guo Zhenyi, but also stabilized Zhou Shufen, and publicly demonstrated his "presence".
Then, satisfied, he patted his pants, turned around, and swaggered away.
