Chapter 147 I Don't Want to Talk to You

Back home, Li Mai wanted to help move the flowerpots, but Zhou Songyan pushed her into the house, saying, "I'll do it."

Li Mai glanced at the time and went to the kitchen to make dinner.

After Zhou Songyan moved all the flowerpots to the sunroom, cleaned the car, and went upstairs to take a shower, Li Mai prepared dinner.

Grandma Zhou was still angry that Zhou Songyan didn't take her out, and she didn't give him a kind look throughout the entire dinner.

Zhou Songyan didn't mind and served Li Mai a bowl of soup.

...

The next morning.

Grandma Zhou and Chengcheng sat side by side on the sofa, glancing upstairs from time to time.

Grandma Zhou glanced at the wall clock.

At this time every day, my granddaughter-in-law would have already prepared breakfast.

What's going on today?

Chengcheng sighed, "Ever since Mom started sleeping in the same room as Dad, Mom's biological clock has been completely messed up. She never used to sleep in."

"Your parents sleep in the same room?"

Grandma Zhou couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

She occasionally stays here one night, on the first floor, and is unaware of what happens on the second floor.

Is her silly grandson really that quick? He's already slept with his granddaughter-in-law?

Chengcheng nodded: "They've been sleeping in the same room for a long time, but I think it's because Dad is being persistent, and Mom doesn't want to."

Grandma Zhou didn't pick up on the disdain in Chengcheng's words; she only focused on the key point.

Her grandson and granddaughter-in-law have slept together, and she's about to have a great-granddaughter.

"Grandson, are you hungry? Let's go back to the old house for dinner."

Grandma Zhou called her bodyguard and then called Wang Ma, asking her to prepare breakfast.

...

When Li Mai got up, she didn't see Grandma Zhou or Chengcheng.

Zhou Songyan was wearing khaki pants and a white sweater, looking as radiant as a college student fresh out of school.

Sitting on the sofa, with a laptop on my lap and a cup of coffee in my hand.

Upon seeing Li Mai, he put down his cup and laptop and walked towards her, stopping in front of her and picking up a strand of hair from her cheek and tucking it behind her ear.

"Are you hungry? Go have some breakfast."

Li Mai was led by him towards the restaurant.

"Where did Chengcheng and Grandma go?"

"We've gone back to the old house."

Li Mai didn't ask any more questions. She was at ease knowing that Chengcheng was with Grandma Zhou.

She sat down and sipped her porridge.

Zhou Songyan peeled an egg with his long, slender fingers: "Is it good?"

"good."

This is breakfast from a large hotel in Beijing; it must have been sent over by Zhou Songyan.

Zhou Songyan held the egg to her lips: "Have some egg."

Li Mai opened her mouth and took a bite.

Zhou Songyan simply held up his hand and fed her an egg.

After breakfast, Li Mai went to the sunroom to arrange the flowers she had just bought.

Zhou Songyan was busy working in his study, and went up to her once to bring her water and fruit.

Li Mai's breakfast time was awkward; it was almost noon when she ate, so she skipped lunch.

It was just before four o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhou Songyan then pulled her out of the house, saying, "Let's go out for dinner."

Li Mai had no objection.

...

Sheng Lin was surprised to run into Zhou Songyan at the restaurant and happily went up to greet him: "Zhou Songyan!"

Zhou Songyan glanced at her and asked, "Who are you?"

Sheng Xi looked hurt: "I am Sheng Xi. I greeted you at the Qin family's banquet."

Upon hearing this name, Zhou Songyan's face darkened instantly, and he took Li Mai's hand and walked into the restaurant.

Sheng Xi chased after him and stopped him: "Zhou Songyan, I'm talking to you. What do you mean by just walking away?"

Zhou Songyan parted his thin lips slightly: "I don't want to talk to you."

Sheng Xi: "..."

Her face flushed red and then pale. She bit her lip, glanced at Li Mai, whom she had been ignoring, and then turned to look at Zhou Songyan with a wronged expression.

"How could you say that? I'm a girl, what you said was so hurtful!"

"I've already hurt you, and you're still blocking my way. Are you being a masochist?"

Sheng Xi: "..."

She had long heard that Zhou Songyan was cold-blooded, ruthless, and had a sharp tongue.

Ji Yunshan confessed her feelings to him, and he called the police to arrest her.

His family arranged blind dates for him, but he scolded each of them until they cried.

She always thought she was special, but she never expected Zhou Songyan to treat her this way.

That's some serious sarcasm!

She raised her hand to wipe her eyes and burst into tears from anger.

Li Mai: "..."

It has to be said that Zhou Songyan's mouth can be quite sharp when she's not spouting sweet words.

Shengxi ran away crying.

Zhou Songyan let out a sigh of relief: "Finally gone, what a nuisance!"

Li Mai turned to look at him: "Is it because I'm here that you're so poisonous?"

"Of course not. I treat all women who covet my women equally. Except for you, of course."

Li Mai rolled her eyes: "Thank you!"

...

Sheng Xi was furious and went to find Sheng Lin.

"Brother, help me find some dirt on Li Mai. I'm going to destroy that woman!"

Sheng Lin was looking at the documents when he looked up and asked, "Li Mai? What did she do to you?"

"She stole my man!"

Sheng Lin said helplessly, "Xiao Xi, Li Mai and Zhou Songyan are boyfriend and girlfriend, so there's no question of her stealing your man. You need to have a legitimate reason to pick a fight with her."

Sheng Xi stomped her feet: "I don't care! Zhou Songyan is the one I've set my sights on. A woman like Li Mai is not good enough for Zhou Songyan at all."

Sheng Lin sighed, “Stop joking. Zhou Songyan doesn’t like you at all. When Mom and Dad first wanted the two families to get married, I told them you two weren’t a good match.”

He had been beaten by Zhou Songyan and knew that the man was crazy.

If he doesn't like someone, he won't give them any face at all; he'll hit them and has a sharp tongue.

Sheng Xi: "Brother, whose side are you on? Don't forget you're my brother, not Li Mai's brother."

Sheng Lin: "It's precisely because I'm your brother that I'm advising you to give up on Zhou Songyan. He's not right for you."

Sheng Xi: "I think it's a good match. There aren't many girls in Beijing who wouldn't want to marry Zhou Songyan. He's handsome, capable, and the only son of the Zhou family. It would be great for me to marry him; it would only benefit our Sheng family."

Sheng Lin: "You're saying all this on the premise that Zhou Songyan will like you and marry you."

Sheng Xi: "As long as I get rid of Li Mai, I'll have a chance."

Sheng Lin didn't respond.

Sheng Xi: "Brother, will you help me or not?"

Sheng Lin: "I can't help you, and I advise you not to court death and drag the entire Sheng family down with you."

“I heard that Ji Yunshan has offended Zhou Songyan and hasn’t dared to come back yet. There’s also a girl named Guan Qing who was arrested for trying to hurt Li Mai and was later locked up in a mental hospital.”

"Really? How come I didn't know that?"

Sheng Xi broke out in a cold sweat.

Sheng Lin: "It shouldn't be fake."

Sheng Xi: "..."
