Chapter 61 Don't be fooled by him
The two female passengers next to him were filled with nothing but envy. They looked at their partners sitting opposite them with mixed feelings.
They are the same person, but why is the other person so considerate and wealthy, and even the cakes he prepares are so exquisite.
The two men were also jealous because the girl was beautiful, gentle and could read novels written entirely in English.
Both parties had their own thoughts, but soon all their thoughts were calmed by the girl's soft voice: "Grandma and Grandma Ye have already got off the plane."
Zhou Jihuai hummed: "There are people meeting you at the airport, don't worry."
The person who picked me up at the airport was an old friend of Zhou Zhanqi.
Shu Ye asked someone to book a hotel in advance.
After Wen Zhile and Zhou Jihuai arrived at Shanghai Station, they took a taxi.
Two pairs of passengers walked behind them and watched them get into the taxi, staring at the back of the car until it was out of sight.
"The snack boxes that the couple ate in the car had Wangjing Pavilion engraved on them. You know Wangjing Pavilion, right? The food there is very expensive. Just a simple meal will cost half a month's salary." The tall and thin young man spoke.
The girl next to him said, "I saw the skirt that girl was wearing in the Foreign Exchange Building. It cost 150 yuan, which is equivalent to two months' salary of mine."
"Why is her skin so good? It's white and tender, and her hair is black and shiny. Even her hair is glossy."
After looking at each other, they understood one thing: there is a huge gap between people.
At around 4:30 in the afternoon, the taxi stopped in front of a five-story hotel. A uniformed doorman came forward, opened the door, and Wen Zhile got out.
Zhou Jihuai got off the car carrying their two suitcases.
Wen Zhile stood aside and waited for him to come closer: "Brother, this is the hotel my uncle mentioned."
This hotel was only completed last year. It is the first five-star hotel in Shanghai. After its opening, it became the new favorite of Shanghai's politicians and celebrities for short-term stays.
The room had already been booked and paid for, and they only needed to show their ID cards to check in.
The two walked in through the revolving door.
"Zhizhi, Ji Huai!"
"Grandma Ye!"
Wen Zhile turned and walked towards the reception sofa in the hall.
The two old people have been sitting here for a while. Next to them is a tall young man in his twenties, wearing glasses, a white shirt and black trousers, and looking very gentle.
After Wen Zhile stopped, Ye Qin introduced: "Zhizhi, this is Xiao Jiang. He was the one who picked up your grandma and I after we got off the plane."
"Hello, Mr. Jiang." Wen Zhile smiled politely.
She was still a student, and the young man obviously didn't expect her to call her by the name used by adults.
"My name is Jiang Zhao, hello." He stretched out his hand.
Zhou Jihuai came over and hung the box on his hand.
The smile on Jiang Zhao's face froze: "Ji Huai, you are here too."
"Uncle Jiang is busy?" Zhou Jihuai asked in a light tone.
"My dad's unit suddenly made some arrangements, so they asked me to pick him up at the airport."
Jiang Zhao looked at Qu Jinghong and the others and said, "Grandma, I specially asked for a few days off. You guys can rest today. Starting tomorrow, I will take you to have a good time in Shanghai."
After he finished speaking, he turned to Zhou Jihuai and said, "Jihuai, Zhizhi, there will be a fireworks show in Huzhou Park tonight. I will drive you there after dinner."
Zhou Jihuai doesn't like to join in the fun. Jiang Zhaohe has known him for many years and knows his temper very well.
The fireworks show was great! But with someone you don’t know well… Wen Zhile knew how awkward it would be just by thinking about it: “I won’t go. The train ride is a bit tiring. I want to rest early.”
She smiled an impeccable diplomatic smile and said, "Mr. Jiang, you can just call me Xiao Wen. I'm probably much younger than you."
Zhou Jihuai relaxed his brows: "I'm not going either."
"Grandma, Zhizhi and I will go to the registration room first."
After that, he took the box back from Jiang Zhao's hand. Wen Zhile left with him. After a few steps, Zhou Jihuai lowered his voice and said, "The Jiang family is interested in establishing a connection with the Jingzhou military. They want more than just a friendship."
After a pause, Zhou Jihuai continued, "Jiang Zhao is 22 years old and can get married. What they want is a solid in-law relationship."
Wen Zhile listened carefully.
Seeing that she didn't react much, Zhou Jihuai had to say bluntly: "Jiang Zhao knows your identity, and all his kindness to you may have a purpose. Don't be fooled by him."
