Chapter 34 I won't let you go, I'm afraid you'll run away.

Li Mai originally wanted to talk to Zhou Songyan about Chengcheng.

Before he could even finish his coffee, he took him to the Zhou family's old house.

An antique-style house, so large it left her speechless.

It took five minutes to walk across the courtyard.

"Zhou Songyan, let me go, I'll walk by myself."

Zhou Songyan: "I won't let you go, I'm afraid you'll run away."

Li Mai: "..."

Grandma Zhou was already standing at the door waiting.

Seeing his grandson holding Li Mai's hand, he grinned from ear to ear.

"Granddaughter-in-law, you've arrived."

Li Mai looked embarrassed: "Grandma, I'm not."

Grandma Zhou winked and said, "Oh dear, you've already held hands and you still won't admit it."

Li Mai sighed, completely unable to explain it.

Zhou Songyan: "Grandma, I've brought your granddaughter-in-law. Have you prepared lunch?"

This single sentence definitively confirmed Li Mai's identity.

Li Mai glared at Zhou Songyan: "Don't talk nonsense."

Zhou Songyan smiled and ignored her outburst.

"Grandma, your granddaughter-in-law is hungry, let's eat."

Grandma Zhou didn't know why her eldest grandson suddenly changed his tune and admitted Li Mai's identity, even though he had previously denied that they had that kind of relationship.

She was too lazy to think about the reasons. Since her eldest grandson admitted it, then Li Mai was her granddaughter-in-law.

He warmly pulled Li Mai into the house: "It's been ready for a long time, just waiting for you."

Li Mai was pulled into the restaurant by the grandmother and grandson.

The long dining table was laden with food.

It was very plentiful.

Grandma Zhou sat in the main seat, pulling Li Mai to sit beside her, while Zhou Songyan sat next to Li Mai.

Grandma Zhou used serving chopsticks to put food on Li Mai's plate: "Granddaughter-in-law, eat quickly, don't be shy, feel at home here."

Li Mai nodded shyly and ate her food in small bites.

Grandma Zhou: "Is it to your liking?"

Li Mai smiled and said, "It's delicious."

"Then eat more."

Several more dishes appeared in the bowl in front of him, picked up by Zhou Songyan.

Li Mai glanced at him, then lowered her head to eat.

I ate half of it.

Li Mai's phone rang.

It is Jiwangyu.

Li Mai got up and went outside to answer the phone: "President Ji."

After Li Mai left, Grandma Zhou whispered to Zhou Songyan, "Grandson, what made you realize that?"

Zhou Songyan glanced at the gossipy old lady and said, "Anyway, your granddaughter-in-law has been brought back to you. Don't ask anything else."

"Okay, I don't care about that. When are you getting married?"

Zhou Songyan: "..."

"Grandma, you're in such a hurry!"

"Of course I'm anxious! Don't you know how old I am? How many more days do I have left to live? Maybe I'll fall asleep and never see the sun rise again tomorrow."

"If you get married sooner, I can hold my great-grandchild sooner, and I can die in peace."

The old lady got more and more excited as she talked.

Zhou Songyan quickly coaxed her, "Alright, my grandma, I'll do my best, okay? Stop nagging."

"Oh, this is my good grandson!"

Zhou Songyan had a headache.

...

Outside, Li Mai answered Ji Wangyu's call: "President Ji."

Ji Wangyu: "Where did you go?"

Ji Wangyu was called out by Ji Kun to meet a business partner in the morning.

He had lunch with his business partners and then returned to the company.

Li Mai's workstation was empty.

It's already time to start work in the afternoon.

I asked two other assistants and learned that Li Mai had left in the morning and had not returned.

Li Mai also told the truth: "Chairman Ji asked me to accompany President Zhou on a tour of Ji's Group. We are having dinner outside right now."

She didn't mention that she was having dinner at the Zhou family's house.

Ji Wangyu clenched his fists, his eyes filled with obvious anger.

The old man deliberately sent him away.

"Go back to the company immediately, I need to talk to you."

Li Mai also wanted to find an excuse to leave.

"Yes, Mr. Ji, I'll be right back."

Li Mai returned to the restaurant: "Grandma, I've almost finished eating. My boss wants to see me, so I have to go back to the company."

Grandma Zhou couldn't keep her any longer: "Alright, let Songyan take you back."

"No need, no need, I can go back by myself."

Zhou Songyan had already stood up and grabbed his suit jacket: "Let's go, it's hard to get a taxi here."

Grandma Zhou leaned closer: "Granddaughter-in-law, don't be so polite with him. It's his duty to take his wife to work. Go on, don't keep your boss waiting."

Grandma Zhou keeps calling her granddaughter-in-law, and now she still says she's Zhou Songyan's wife.

Li Mai was extremely embarrassed, her face turning bright red.

I want to leave the Zhou family as soon as possible.

So he stopped being polite to Zhou Songyan and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Songyan hooked his arm around her shoulder and led her outside: "We're all family now, why be so polite?"

Li Mai tried to pry his hand open, but couldn't.

She glared at him angrily.

Once in the car, Li Mai said, "Mr. Zhou, Grandma misunderstands our relationship. Instead of explaining, you're adding fuel to the fire. What do you mean by that?"

Zhou Songyan turned to look at her, smiled, and started the car.

"I agree with my grandma."

Li Mai: "..."

She closed her eyes, furious.

"Zhou Songyan, is it really necessary for you to joke about me?"

Zhou Songyan smiled helplessly: "Li Mai, why don't you believe me at all now? I'm telling the truth, I want to get back together with you."

"I don't believe you! Don't try to fool me!"

What will it take for you to believe me?

"Unless the sun rises in the west."

Zhou Songyan: "..."

He was so angry he laughed.

He felt that Li Mai couldn't dispel his suspicions about him anytime soon, so there was no point in continuing the conversation.

Changing the subject, he asked, "What did Ji Wangyu want to call you back to the company about?"

Li Mai: "It must be work-related."

She turned her head and said, "Zhou Songyan, let me tell you, be more polite to President Ji. He and I are just superior and subordinate. Don't make me feel awkward."

Last time, because of her, Zhou Songyan broke Ji Wangyu's hand.

She still feels guilty to this day.

This person has a really thick skin.

They broke someone else's son's hand, and today they brazenly visit the Ji family's residence.

Does Chairman Ji know what he's doing?

Zhou Songyan snorted, looking very disdainful.

"Li Mai, you're so naive! You won't even realize you've been scammed one day."

Li Mai was speechless: "Besides you, who would lie to me?"

Zhou Songyan: "..."

Li Mai was alluding to the fact that he concealed his identity five years ago.

This woman really holds a grudge!

He didn't respond to that.

"Li Mai, why don't you resign and become my secretary at Rongzheng?"

"don't want!"

"Why? My secretary, so many people would kill for that job!"

"Let others fight tooth and nail for it. I don't want to. My brain isn't very sharp to begin with, what if I get damaged by the competition?"

Zhou Songyan: "..."

After a moment of silence, Zhou Songyan glanced at her and said, "Li Mai, you know how to make me angry."

"Mr. Zhou, you're joking. I'm not angry with you at all. Maybe you're too petty; you get angry over just a casual remark."

"People should be magnanimous and not get angry all the time; it's bad for their health."

Zhou Songyan shut up.

I can't argue with that, I absolutely can't argue with that.

After working as a secretary for two years, my eloquence has improved.

As they approached the Ji family's residence, Li Mai spoke up: "President Zhou, please just park on the side of the road."

Zhou Songyan: "I can't stand being seen by people?"

Li Mai: "I can't stand it."

Zhou Songyan: "..."

Zhou Songyan deliberately went against her, blatantly parking her car in front of the Ji family's house.

Li Mai: "..."
