Chapter Twelve: Resembling a Resentful Husband
Chu Lian was overjoyed and pulled Zhou Congsheng into the kitchen. Today's lunch was not only for the engagement of the two children, but also to celebrate that her son had finally achieved his wish and married the girl he loved.
"Mom, I..."
"Go ahead, Dad has something to say to Zhuzhu."
Zhou Daoming waved to him, and Shen Yuzhu's eyes flickered slightly as she gently nodded to Zhou Congsheng.
Chu Lian and her husband looked at their son's appearance and wanted to cover their faces; they simply couldn't bear to look at him.
When only Zhou Daoming and Shen Yuzhu were in the living room, the atmosphere was somewhat heavy. Zhou Daoming felt sorry for Shen Yuzhu, but the current situation was indeed not suitable for her to stay in Haicheng. Going to Beijing with the Zhou family was even more inappropriate, as the rumors alone would force her to stay at home.
"Uncle Zhou, is it about Lü Jiahao...?"
"Oh, I've already submitted the information you gave me. Once it's confirmed, they'll send someone to arrest him soon. Don't worry, this won't implicate you."
Shen Yuzhu shook her head and took out a share certificate from her bag.
“Uncle Zhou, these are the share certificates for several factories owned by the Shen family, as well as some property certificates. I can donate them all to the country free of charge.”
Anyway, these things won't be under her name after Lü Jiahao is arrested, nor will they be under the Shen family's name. Rather than having them confiscated later, she might as well hand them over now with a righteous air, at least she can get a good reputation.
"Zhuzhu, you..."
“Uncle Zhou, although my Shen family are capitalists, we can also be called red capitalists. I have severed ties with Lü Jiahao. From now on, I am just an ordinary citizen. Rather than keeping these things in my hands, it is better to let them play a real role.”
Zhou Daoming remained silent for a moment, and when he looked up at Shen Yuzhu again, his eyes were full of admiration. This child was indeed Aunt Chen's granddaughter. She knew that the situation was urgent and that she should cut her losses to survive.
"Zhuzhu, don't worry. Once these things are handed over, Uncle Zhou... Dad will definitely ask for a reward for you."
Shen Yuzhu: "......."
Aunt Chu isn't here, so you don't need to be so afraid!
"Zhuzhu, regarding your relationship with Congsheng, your mother and I have no objections, and in fact, we fully approve. This is something we've always hoped for. We kept you here to talk about going to the countryside. Actually, we could..."
“Uncle Zhou, Dad... Zhou Congsheng is a man with ideals and ambitions. I don’t want to involve him because of my own affairs. Besides, going to the countryside is the best choice for me at this time.”
Because of Chu Lian's sudden whim, the two of them were now in an awkward situation, even their way of addressing each other was quite embarrassing. Fortunately, the two who went out to buy groceries returned quickly, and they ended their conversation.
The table was laden with dishes that were all of Shen Yuzhu's favorites. Before the meal began, Chu Lian took out a box.
"Zhuzhu, this is the betrothal gift your father and I have prepared for you, as well as a present. It was a bit rushed, but it's a token of our goodwill."
"Thank you, Mom and Dad."
Although they were engaged, Chu Lian still felt she couldn't let Shen Yuzhu suffer, so she prepared five thousand yuan and two gold bracelets for her.
Zhou Congsheng frowned upon seeing this, took the gold bracelet out of the box, and pushed it in front of Chu Lian.
"Mom, what time is it now? Is it okay for Sister Yuzhu to carry this on her person? Do you know how serious the consequences will be if someone sees it?"
Chu Lian's face stiffened. She was only thinking about not being able to wrong Zhu Zhu, but she didn't expect that Zhou Daoming also strongly disagreed with this. He searched all over his body but couldn't find anything decent.
Shen Yuzhu: "........."
I had no choice but to say I disliked this scoundrel before; isn't this cutting off her source of income?
“Zhou Congsheng is right. I don’t want this bracelet anymore. Besides, the money offered is too much. I can’t accept it.”
“I’ll take it, how can I not? I’ll keep the bracelet here for now, but you can keep the money. My dad got a certificate when he set up this savings account, so you can withdraw the money when you get to Heilongjiang Province. As for the things we bought at home, I’ll clean them all for you and send them to the rural area this afternoon.”
Shen Yuzhu turned her head and glanced at him. When she mentioned going to the countryside before, he was full of resistance. Why was he so easy to talk to now?
"Besides these, I have another certificate here that I need you to sign."
Shen Yuzhu was confused. She took the paper from his hand and looked at it. Her eyes widened instantly. She looked at the instigator with shame and anger.
Zhou Congsheng wasn't embarrassed at all. He had written the certificate and guarantee overnight, and in front of his parents, he knew she would definitely sign it to appease him.
Chu Lian and Zhou Daoming exchanged a glance, then curiously craned their necks to look. Shen Yuzhu quickly folded it up and put it in her pocket.
"I'll sign it for you later, later."
"Sign now."
Shen Yuzhu: "........."
The preparations are so thorough; it seems like this was planned well in advance. When did this guy become so cunning?
She saw him pull out a pen from his pocket, grit her teeth and glare at him, then quickly smooth out the paper and sign it. Although she was quick, Zhou Daoming and Chu Lian still saw it.
The first three points above all say things like, "You're not allowed to show any kindness to other men, and you have to think about him every day."
She should always remember that she has a fiancé and stay away from anyone who has or has just started to pursue her.
Make sure to write a letter every week, and start each one with "Dear Congsheng".
...
The triviality of the content, the rambling of the language, the thick skin of his skin, and the multitude of his thoughts make him resemble a resentful husband.
Chu Lian: "......"
Zhou Daoming: "........."
You little brat, you're such a disgrace!
After leaving the Zhou family, Zhou Congsheng took her directly to the guesthouse, and Zhou Daoming also hurried to his workplace. He was about to be transferred, and before leaving, he wanted to finalize the matter of acquiring the Shen family's shares.
They also need to get her a medal and a certificate. With these two things, she won't be bullied even in the countryside. Chu Lian is also busy. She has several classmates in Heilongjiang Province. At this moment, she is writing furiously in her room, begging her close friends to take care of her precious wife for her sake.
On the contrary, Zhou Congsheng was the quietest one. He dropped Shen Yuzhu off at the guesthouse and then left.
Shen Yuzhu didn't take it seriously, but before she could finish unpacking the things she brought back from the Zhou family, there was a knock on the door.
She opened the door and saw two people in police uniforms standing outside.
"Hello comrade, you must be Shen Yuzhu. Your father, Lü Jiahao, has been accused of making a report involving some confidential matters. We hope you can come to the Public Security Bureau to cooperate with the investigation."
