Chapter 45 Mr. Zhou raised a female student

Xu Jing pulled Chen Zan down the mountain and walked non-stop until they reached the parking lot. It seemed as if she had finally regained her sanity.

"Is that man called Zhou Jingyu?" Xu Jing suddenly asked.

Chen Zan answered yes.

Xu Jing: "The one next to them is the Jiang family, right?"

Chen Zhan said, "I don't know."

Trying hard to distance herself from Zhou Jingyu.

Xu Jing, however, looked at her with suspicion at this moment: "You two only met once at your grandmother's house during National Day?"

Chen Zhan pursed his lips and said, "Mr. Zhou was invited to participate in the school art exhibition before, and I met him once at that time."

Apart from these meetings, and the things that happened between her and Mr. Zhou, she didn't dare tell Xu Jing at all. She seemed to hate them and be on guard against them.

Sure enough, the next second, Xu Jing said with deep disgust, "Stay away from people like this in the future. No one from those families is a good person. Your grandfather worked with these families for so many years, but in the end, he still didn't end up well."

Chen Zan had heard about his grandfather's affairs.

It's nothing more than being demoted for standing on the wrong side, and eventually dying in a car accident. His death was unclear, but there was no evidence. I heard that he knew too much and couldn't keep it, but these conspiracy theories are just speculations and have never been confirmed.

Ms. Chen Jiaohua had let it go long ago, saying that it was all fate and she did not blame anyone. However, Xu Jing kept saying that these people killed her grandfather, but she vaguely felt that she was using this incident to cover up another secret.

As for this secret, Chen Zan felt that it might be related to her life experience.

But no matter what, it was a fact that Xu Jing didn't want Chen Zan to get too close to Zhou Jingyu and the others.

So she suppressed her emotions and said, "I know, Mom. Don't you see that your daughter is just an ordinary student? There are so many people who want to get close to Mr. Zhou. It's definitely not my turn. He doesn't look down on me either. Don't worry."

Xu Jing didn't like this again. "My daughter is so beautiful, he must be blind if he doesn't like her."

Chen Zhan: “…”

"Ms. Xu, if you put it that way, it's really hard for me to respond."

After changing the subject with a few words, Xu Jing finally felt better. Then she remembered that Director Gu had been following her all the way.

Xu Jing hurried to see Director Gu and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Wenjun, I just..."

Director Gu's name was Gu Wenjun. He wasn't upset. He just took Ms. Xu's hand and said, "Xu Jing, I know there are some things you don't want to talk about. I respect you. It's okay."

Chen Zan watched from the side, then got into the car first and let them be intimate with each other slowly, without acting like a third wheel.

After thinking about it, she decided to send a message to Zhou Jingyu to apologize. The situation just now was too urgent, so she had to pretend not to know him.

*

I returned to the hospital in the afternoon.

Chen Zan was in the ward, revising his speech on his computer while keeping his grandmother company.

Chen Jiaohua ate the apple that Chen Zhan had cut for her and asked, "Is your mother dating Director Gu again?"

Chen Zhan said, "No, Mom has to go to the regiment to sign the document this afternoon. Director Gu is on the operating table."

Chen Jiaohua was not very satisfied. "It's such nice weather, but you're busy working. When will you get married?"

Chen Zhan: “…”

Then he smiled and said to Chen Zan, "When will An An come and take grandma out to play?"

Chen Jiaohua said mysteriously, "I hid my passbook in the vase in the east corner of the bedroom. Remember to get it back."

Chen Zhan quickly said, "Grandma, please take care of yourself first. It's not appropriate for you to go and play with male models at this time."

She realized that Ms. Chen was really taking this matter seriously, so she quickly stopped him from having such bad thoughts.

Later in the evening, Xu Jing came back. After dinner, Zhou Jingyu sent her a message asking whether she was at school or the hospital.

Chen Zan returned to the hospital.

She had just finished dinner and Xu Jing urged her to go back to school.

Zhou Jingyu sent another message: "I'll be out in a while."

Chen Zan hesitated for two seconds and replied, "Okay."

——

Chen Zhan was still wearing the same clothes she had worn when she went to Puzhao Temple to worship Buddha in the morning. She was walking on the side of the road with her head lowered, revealing the lower half of her beautiful face from under her French bowler hat.

Zhang Qing parked the car at a steady pace on the side of the road, which was a bus stop away from the hospital, for fear of being discovered by Xu Jing.

Chen Zan got into the car, and Zhou Jingyu was reading documents in the car.

She called out stiffly, "Mr. Zhou."

This well-behaved look made Zhou Jingyu turn his head and lift his thin eyelids to look at him. Without wearing glasses, his half-closed eyelids exposed the devilish mole on his eyelids even more clearly.

"Are you going to stop pretending to be unfamiliar with me now?" Zhou Jingyu said with a smile.

Seeing that he wasn't angry about pretending to be unfamiliar with her before, Chen Zhan relaxed a lot. "Please forgive me, Mr. Zhou. My mother was there at the time. She's just like my grandmother. She doesn't like me getting too close to you."

Zhou Jingyu felt that it was understandable, but he still needed to explain. He put down the documents, took her hand, and held it in his palm. "What happened to your grandfather back then was a normal struggle. It did have something to do with the Zhou family, but that was a matter for the older generation. If you mind this matter, I apologize."

Chen Zhan twitched the corner of her mouth. This was not something she could truly forgive, so she changed the subject, "Where are you taking me, Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Jingyu said, "The Wei family is hosting a dinner tonight. Please accompany me to have dinner."

Chen Zhan was stunned. She didn't really want to see the Wei family. Besides, "I've already eaten in the hospital."

The man gently pinched the back of her hand, "Ye Jing is here too, let her keep you company, I have a surprise for you."

Chen Zhan agreed.

The hotel was booked at Xinrongji, which was only about ten minutes’ drive away.

Zhou Jingyu came to pick up Chen Zan, but he was a little late. However, because he had not arrived yet, the dishes were not served for a long time.

This was the first time Chen Zan appeared in front of these people with Zhou Jingyu. They had only heard that the powerful Mr. Zhou had a female student, but this was the first time they saw her.

He looked familiar. Someone had seen Chen Zan at the Tang Palace Club before, and he immediately understood the source of the recent incident in which the dissolute young master of the Wei family had his hand crippled by Zhou Jingyu.

All the people at this dinner party are well-known figures in the political and business circles of Rongchuan. Today's dinner party is hosted by Wei Qiming for Xie Huaiqian, the young master of the Xie family.
