Nie Zhao was also helpless.
When his wife hinted that she wanted to ask him out, as a man, especially one who had just recovered from a serious injury and was always worried that he might not be good enough in some way, he was secretly delighted.
But the offshore mines involved international police, so he had to go there in person to handle it.
He returned the next afternoon, and he made a point of going home early, but Chen Rou wasn't there. He called Song Yuanchao and tried to call her, but no one answered. Luckily, Nie Jiayu was there, so he asked, "Do you know where your aunt went?"
Nie Jiayu shook his head, but said with a smile, "Uncle, I only discovered yesterday that my wife has a really great figure."
He's from the hippie generation who grew up in Hong Kong, and he can crack any kind of joke.
However, when Nie Zhao left, Hong Kong was still very conservative and traditional, and he had always been in Europe and received a gentlemanly education, so he found Nie Jiayu's words offensive.
And after a moment's thought, he asked, "Have you ever spoken to her like this to her face?"
“Of course, she has a great figure, I should compliment her,” Nie Jiayu said.
Nie Zhao tugged at his nephew's shoulder: "Apologize to her when she gets back."
Nie Jiayu was utterly exasperated: "Uncle, I was praising Xiniang, why do I have to apologize to her?"
Nie Zhao said, "You are a junior, and those words were not a compliment to her, but an offense."
This completely baffled Nie Jiayu. The boy shrugged and said, "Sure enough, you said the same thing as everyone else."
Nie Zhao didn't care what others said about him, since no one in Hong Kong was richer than him anyway. But just as he turned to leave, Nie Jiayu said, "Uncle, you're just using this as an excuse to get angry because you dislike me, aren't you?"
Nie Zhao stopped and turned back, saying, "You and Jiajun are equally important to me. The future of the Nie family will belong to you both."
Nie Jiayu lowered his head and smiled, then looked up and said, "You used to always say that the Nie family should belong to Second Uncle."
It was at this moment that Chen Rou and Song Yuanchao went upstairs.
They had just gone out and were discussing things on the way back, which is why they didn't answer the phone.
As soon as Chen Roufu went upstairs, he heard Nie Zhao say, "You are really stupid and clumsy."
Nie Jiayu smiled: "Not just me, but Jiajun and Han, and even my father in my uncle's eyes..."
Nie Zhao took a deep breath and suddenly asked, "Jiayu, do you want to study abroad?"
Nie Jiayu immediately said, "Okay, you can send me to Singapore too."
In Song Yuanchao's view, this was just a normal conversation between uncle and nephew. He had something to say to Chen Rou, so he went upstairs. But Chen Rou stopped and went straight into the living room, walked towards Nie Jiayu, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Nie Jiayu had always been afraid of her aunt, but at this moment she felt wronged because of her concern, and said, "It's probably because our house is too small and there are too many people, so my uncle doesn't want me and wants to send me abroad."
Not to mention that this building has eight bedrooms, half of which are empty, and there is another empty building next door.
Standing on the opposite side of the coastline, these two buildings are the most iconic buildings in the entire Repulse Bay. Not to mention that there are only five people in the family, they could easily accommodate another fifty. It would be ridiculous to say that the houses are small.
Chen Rou didn't know the details of the matter, but glancing at Nie Zhao who was still angry, she said frankly, "I can tell from what you're saying that you're talking nonsense. It's obvious that you've grown up and feel that you don't have freedom at home, so you want to move out. What your uncle said is just what you really think. He loves you so much, he's obviously doing what's best for you."
Nie Jiayu shrugged: "Please, Xi Niang, do you really think my uncle would love someone?"
Nie Zhao didn't like wasting time and didn't want to listen anymore. Of course, although he particularly disliked Nie Rong, he actually had the same stubborn and self-willed side as Nie Rong in his personality, so he said, "Alright, Arou."
He added, "I'll arrange his studies abroad tomorrow and send him to Singapore."
He went into his study after he finished speaking.
But Chen Rou said, "Let's wait two more days."
He then said to Nie Jiayu, "I have something to do in a little while, and I'd like to invite you to come along. Do you want to come?"
Going out with Xi Niang?
Nie Jiayu replied without hesitation: "Go, go, go."
Chen Rou pushed open the study door, and ironically, the first thing she saw was her husband yawning. When he saw her come in, he stopped yawning halfway through, checked his watch, and said, "It's time to eat. I'll have dinner with you tonight."
He had time tonight, but Chen Rou didn't, because she was about to go out.
Moreover, last night she changed into a sexy nightgown and even got secretly angry when she overheard two maids gossiping about a man's infidelity. But after sleeping for a night, she realized that what she was experiencing was something that many people experience when they are young: something called love, something that can easily make people lose their minds.
Regarding this, she thought about the future, especially after her return.
Her intention was still to return to the mainland. So, even if Nie Zhao had other women or something, she shouldn't get angry or interfere too much. Only in this way could she leave gracefully in the future.
Speaking of this, we should mention something else: Nie Zhao's future crisis.
Just then, Nie Zhao asked, "Going out? Where to? Why bring Jiayu along?"
This time, Chen Rou didn't dodge the question and directly asked, "Have you ever thought that in the future, when we return to China, we will have a powerful backer, not afraid of other countries using rules and military force to steal our business, nor afraid of financial groups shorting our stocks? At that time, just like the current dispute between you and Second Master, Jiayu and Jiajun might become your crisis?"
