Chapter 367 Mental Schemes
When Jiang Donghua met Zhou Xiye's gaze, he felt a little flustered and quickly looked away, but then couldn't help turning his head back to look at him again, and took a step forward.
He walked up to Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhizhi: "Captain Zhou, Zhizhi..."
When he addressed Zhizhi, Zhou Xiye frowned, and Jiang Zhizhi's face was even more stern: "Jiang Donghua, we're not that familiar with each other, and also, because of what happened before, you don't need to greet me."
Jiang Donghua felt terrible. He had gotten too caught up in the role and had the wrong feeling. Jiang Zhizhi should have belonged to him.
Jiang Zhizhi had no idea what Jiang Donghua was up to again. She glanced at him coldly, then turned to Zhou Xiye and said gently, "Let's go home."
Zhou Xiye gave Jiang Donghua another deep look, a look that contained warning and threat, before leaving with Jiang Zhizhi.
...
Once in the car, Jiang Zhizhi muttered to Zhou Xiye, "What's wrong with Jiang Donghua this time? But why is he at school too?"
Zhou Xiye considered for a moment, then asked Jiang Zhizhi in a very low voice, "Since Sun Xiaoyue knows about the events of the previous life, has she mentioned anything about Jiang Donghua in that life?"
Jiang Zhizhi exclaimed, her mind racing. Should she tell Zhou Xiye about her past life? After thinking about it, she knew it was definitely not a good idea. In her previous life, she had married Jiang Donghua, something that still bothered her. If Zhou Xiye knew, he would definitely feel uncomfortable too.
Zhou Xiye clearly saw the fleeting hesitation in her eyes, which confirmed his suspicions.
If what Sun Xiaoyue said is true, and Sun Xiaoyue married him in his previous life, then who did Jiang Zhizhi marry?
Since Sun Xiaoyue was able to tell Jiang Zhizhi about her rebirth, she must have also told Jiang Donghua about it.
Just now, Jiang Donghua saw Jiang Zhizhi's expression, which was one of restraint and resentment. He had never interacted with Jiang Zhizhi before, so how could she have such emotions? It must be because they had some entanglement in their previous life.
After clarifying the situation, Zhou Xiye felt a pang of sadness, even though he knew that the events of his previous life had nothing to do with this one.
But I couldn't control the jealousy in my heart.
After thinking it through, Jiang Zhizhi shook her head: "I didn't say anything. Anyway, they are all unrelated people. As long as our family can be together peacefully, that's fine."
Zhou Xiye remained expressionless, looking at Jiang Zhizhi with gentle eyes: "Yes, if Jiang Donghua causes trouble, don't be afraid. If it gets too much, just tell Dad and ask him to find a way to transfer Jiang Donghua out of Beijing."
Jiang Zhizhi chuckled: "That won't be the case, lest I end up accusing Dad of abusing his power for personal gain. If he provokes me again, I'll just beat him up."
Zhou Xiye nodded and stopped talking, and the topic seemed to have passed.
When the family of four arrived home, Fang Hua and the others had already made dumplings and stewed meat and fish.
Zhou Chengzhi is also resting at home. Perhaps because he is getting old, he also cherishes the atmosphere of family reunion.
Seeing Jiang Zhizhi and the others enter, she quickly went over and took little Zhou Ji from Zhou Xiye's arms: "My sweetie, you haven't seen Grandpa all day, did you miss him?"
Little Zhouji was a little sleepy, twisting his little body to avoid being held, whimpering and struggling as he turned around and stretched out his little arms to let his dad hold him.
Helpless, Zhou Chengzhi could only return Xiao Zhouji to Zhou Xiye, and gently patted his little bottom: "Little rascal, let Grandpa hold you after Daddy leaves, okay?"
Fang Hua glared at Zhou Chengzhi: "Honestly, I asked you to peel garlic, and you peeled only a few cloves before going to hold the child? Xiye is leaving tomorrow, so tell him to hold the child more."
Zhou Chengzhi muttered under his breath, "I haven't seen the child for half a day either, what's wrong with holding him for a bit?"
He then sat down at the table and continued peeling garlic.
Suddenly, I remembered something else: "I'll be retiring next year. After I retire, is there anywhere you'd like to go? I'll take you there."
Fang Hua was stunned, staring at Zhou Chengzhi in disbelief: "You old geezer, have you taken the wrong medicine today? You actually thought of taking me out to play?"
Zhou Chengzhi was displeased: "Look at what you're saying, it's as if I didn't take you out before, it was your own fault for not wanting to go."
Fang Hua snorted coldly: "Yes, did you take me out to play before? You took me to be your nanny because you couldn't get used to the food in the south and you were too embarrassed to bother the cafeteria, so you asked me to come over and cook for you."
"Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
Zhou Chengzhi looked embarrassed by what he was being told: "That was just a coincidence before. Alright, just tell me if you're going or not? We can go to the Southern Sanatorium, near Changbai Mountain."
Fang Hua felt that Zhou Chengzhi's words were just a rash thought and didn't take them to heart: "Okay, we'll talk about it when the time comes. You get to work."
During the meal, Fang Hua asked Zhou Chengzhi and Zhou Xiye if they wanted to have some wine.
Zhou Chengzhi immediately agreed: "Yes, let's have a drink. We're leaving tomorrow, so let's have a good drink together."
Zhou Xiye naturally had no objections. After a few drinks, Zhou Chengzhi became even more talkative, urging Zhou Xiye to guard against arrogance and impetuosity and to achieve new successes.
Fang Hua was getting annoyed: "Can you stop talking? Our son is leaving tomorrow, and you keep nagging. Besides, is Xiye a new recruit? He got to where he is today all by his own hard work. You didn't help him at all."
Zhou Chengzhi, flushed from the alcohol, was starting to lose his temper: "What's wrong with a father saying a few words to his son? I'm teaching him how to be a decent person..."
Jiang Zhizhi was afraid that Fang Hua and Zhou Chengzhi would start arguing, so she quickly called out, "Mom, let's ignore them and take the children upstairs for a nap. Look, little Zhou keeps rubbing his eyes."
Upon hearing that the children were sleepy, Fang Hua quickly got up: "Oh dear, I forgot they should be sleeping. Look at our little Shangshang, his eyes are almost closed."
The two children fell asleep quickly; they were asleep in Jiang Zhizhi's and Fang Hua's arms respectively as we carried them upstairs.
After putting the child down, Jiang Zhizhi pulled Fang Hua into the room and talked for a while, afraid that she would see Zhou Chengzhi downstairs and start nagging again.
Fang Hua understood Jiang Zhizhi's thoughts and smiled, "I know you're worried that I'll argue with your dad, but haven't you noticed that no matter how much I scold him now, he only dares to mutter quietly and doesn't dare to talk back?"
Jiang Zhizhi laughed: "That's because you haven't remarried Dad yet, and he's afraid you'll kick him out again. But Dad has really behaved very well these past two years, Mom, you should consider remarrying Dad."
Fang Hua thought for a moment and shook her head: "Forget it, let's just live like this. I know his temper best. If we remarry, his temper will flare up again."
The two chatted for a while, and when they felt they had almost finished eating downstairs, Jiang Zhizhi went downstairs.
Downstairs, Sister Chen and Zhou Chengyu were clearing the table of dishes, while Zhou Chengzhi was leaning back on the sofa, trying to sober up.
But Zhou Xiye was not there...
Jiang Zhizhi was a little puzzled. She went to the room to take a look, but didn't see Zhou Xiye.
