The farce that happened in the mall was just a minor incident.
None of the three took it to heart.
After finishing my coffee, I strolled around for a while longer, ending my shopping day.
Zhou Chen had hoped to spend some time alone with Sun Wanying that night, but Su Jiajia, acting as a third wheel, monopolized Sun Wanying's time and wouldn't give him a chance. He couldn't do anything about Su Jiajia, after all, this older sister had made great contributions to his business in its early stages.
He still manages his most important business.
We can't afford to mess with them!
Zhou Chen sighed in vain at the sight of his grandson and had no choice but to return to the hotel, where he went to sleep alone.
After Zhou Chuan escaped from the mall,
Enraged, he immediately dialed Zhang Xiaoxiao's number and questioned her about why she had sneaked away, leaving him alone and humiliated in public.
"I'm sorry, I wanted to say hello to you, but it was really urgent. My mother's illness couldn't be delayed, and I was afraid that guy would hear me and wouldn't let me leave, so..."
"Um?"
Zhou Chuan, who was originally furious, was stunned when he heard that Zhang Xiaoxiao had left because her mother had suddenly fallen ill. "You really didn't run away on purpose?"
“How could I have done it on purpose? I wanted to see him humiliated, but I was really anxious at the time. What if he found out about my family’s troubles and kept bothering me to explain that incident, causing my mother to not receive timely treatment? I would never forgive myself for that.”
On the phone, Zhang Xiaoxiao's voice sounded pitiful, and Zhou Chuan's anger instantly dissipated. He knew it! How could Zhang Xiaoxiao have slipped away so quietly? It turned out that she was concerned about her mother. This just goes to show that Zhang Xiaoxiao is a good girl who values filial piety above all else.
He was right about him.
Most importantly, given Zhou Chen's despicable and shameless nature, if he knew that Zhang Xiaoxiao's mother had suddenly fallen ill, he might really pester her relentlessly, causing her to be delayed.
"Auntie, how are you now? Which hospital are you in? I'll come visit you right now."
All his anger dissipated after Zhang Xiaoxiao explained.
Zhang Xiaoxiao explained that her mother is safe and sound, is not in the hospital, and needs to rest and should not be disturbed.
"Okay then, please say hello to Auntie for me."
Zhou Chuan had no choice but to give up.
"Your attitude just now was terrifying. You've never been so fierce to me before."
Zhang Xiaoxiao's aggrieved voice rang out.
Zhou Chuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao, I got angry with you without knowing what happened. It was my fault. I apologize to you, please don't take it to heart."
"You know you were wrong?"
"knew."
"I'm angry that you don't believe me."
"I'll make it up to you. Whatever gift you want, just tell me and I'll buy it for you."
"Zhou Chuan, do you think I, Zhang Xiaoxiao, am only with you because you're rich? How could you think of me like that? I'm so disappointed in you."
"Ah...no, Xiaoxiao, you've misunderstood. I didn't...it's not what you think. Wait...Xiaoxiao, what did you say? You just said you agreed to be my girlfriend?"
As Zhou Chuan was speaking, his face suddenly showed a mixture of surprise and delight.
"snort."
"Isn't it because you made me so angry that I blurted out what I really thought?"
"Xiaoxiao, don't worry. Be my girlfriend, Zhou Chuan. I will spoil you for the rest of my life and never let you suffer any grievances."
"I want you to formally confess your feelings to me; I don't want to be in a relationship with you without knowing the facts."
"Of course, I will confess my feelings and give you a romantic ceremony."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoxiao pretended not to be angry anymore. But then, realizing she didn't know the exact relationship between Zhou Chuan and Zhou Chen, she had a sudden thought and asked.
Mentioning this made Zhou Chuan feel somewhat unhappy, but considering that Zhang Xiaoxiao really didn't know, he explained his relationship with Zhou Chen.
“Many people are criticizing me online. Xiaoxiao, you won’t dislike me because of this, will you? I’m really not like what they say. You know how I treat you.”
"Of course I won't be like them, blindly following the crowd. Even if you're bad, as long as you're good to me, that's enough."
It must be said that Zhang Xiaoxiao's words deeply moved Zhou Chuan, making him even more satisfied and fond of her.
The two chatted for a while, then Zhang Xiaoxiao ended the conversation, saying she had to go take care of her mother.
"No wonder I always felt like I'd seen him somewhere before."
"So it was him."
Zhang Xiaoxiao's mother was not present at home at all; it was all a lie she fabricated, an excuse to appease Zhou Chuan's anger.
Indeed, it worked quite well, completely fooling Zhou Chuan and making him believe it to be true.
Not only that, Zhou Chuan liked her even more.
Of course, what Zhang Xiaoxiao cared about most was that she could take advantage of the conflict between Zhou Chuan and Zhou Chen to avenge the humiliation that Zhou Chen had caused her before.
If Zhou Chuan were still a small stall owner at the gate of Yenching University, she naturally wouldn't be his girlfriend. She would only feel ashamed, not even as good as Xiang Nan. But now that Zhou Chuan's biological father has come looking for him, and he's a big boss from Hong Kong, then it's a different story.
"I hope I'll be lucky this time. His father is incredibly wealthy."
“If that’s the case, I, Zhang Xiaoxiao, might become a socialite in Hong Kong, and even in the future, I might manage all of their family’s assets.”
Zhang Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes. Zhou Chuan was completely manipulated by her, and she could easily control him. Once Zhou Chuan inherited the family fortune, it would be very easy for him to get it into her hands. At that time, she would be a rich woman, someone that everyone would envy.
At this time,
A phone call came in.
Zhang Xiaoxiao snapped out of her thoughts, looked down, and immediately answered the call, smiling, "Mom." But before she could say anything more, her voice suddenly rose, and she asked anxiously, "I'm not feeling well, Mom, what's wrong?"
On the other end,
Zhou Chuan was overjoyed; Zhang Xiaoxiao had actually agreed to be his girlfriend.
As long as he holds a ceremony and formally confesses his feelings, the two will become officially boyfriend and girlfriend.
Thinking of Zhang Xiaoxiao's beautiful face,
Yenching University degree
Not seeking vanity, and possessing a pure and filial heart,
Zhou Chuan wanted to celebrate and share his joy with others, knowing that such a wonderful girl was about to become his girlfriend.
But when he picked up his phone, he suddenly realized that there was no one to share with.
This left Zhou Chuan somewhat disheartened.
Oh no!
suddenly,
Zhou Chuan's expression changed. He suddenly remembered what happened in the mall today. He had deliberately made a scene to embarrass Zhou Chen and attract a crowd of onlookers.
As it turned out, Zhou Chen wasn't embarrassed; instead, he was the one who got slapped twice.
Will the bystanders post the scene online and use it as material to ridicule him?
The more Zhou Chuan thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Because of his actions, in other people's eyes, he was a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.
Once it gets online, he'll definitely be ridiculed again.
no!
He must minimize the impact of this matter.
