Chapter 156

Sunday.

Just after dawn, the mountains seemed to be covered with a layer of hazy gauze, and the birds in the forest chirped. The originally silent mountains gradually woke up.

Luxury cars kept coming down the mountain on the road below. Rolls-Royce, Lincoln, Maybach... too many to handle. They were all people living in luxury houses. Most of them were celebrities in the Hong Kong business circle, and they had to be busy running around for various business affairs early in the morning.

After a burst of noisy noise, as the mist gradually dissipated, the mountains became quiet again.

Chu Yueqing also woke up when the sunlight shone in from the window. After washing up, she went to the next room and opened the door.

The curtains in the bedroom were still down, and it was dark. The pink floral silk quilt on the big bed was folded neatly, and a pair of slippers embroidered with Chibi Maruko-chan cartoon dolls were neatly placed beside the bed.

The only person she didn't see was Chu Yi.

She looked around and blinked: "Where is she?" She

vaguely remembered that when she came back from the game room yesterday, she saw Chu Yi lying on the table in the living room doing homework, and she specifically said that she would get up later today.

Chu Yueqing didn't look for her again and went downstairs.

On the way, several maids greeted her, and she smiled and responded one by one.

The Qiao family hired too many maids. She didn't like the hustle and bustle, so after leaving four people to work, the rest were paid a full month's salary and asked to leave. The fourth

aunt who managed the kitchen quickly brought a bowl of noodles to the table and said with a smile, "Miss, it's time for breakfast."

"Thank you." Chu Yueqing's eyebrows were curved, and her little face was smiling. The fatigue of the whole night was washed away by the fragrant noodles.

The fourth aunt watched the young lady eating breakfast, and her heart was very nervous. It was not easy for her to be selected by Mrs. Qiao to work at Miss Chu's house. As a result, not only was there less work, but the salary was also high.

She compared it. Miss Chu's salary was much higher than her other friends. She

didn't have to live in a crowded servant's room, she had a spacious residence, good food and accommodation, and high salary. Of course, she didn't want to lose such a good job.

"Miss Xingxing, how does it taste? Are you satisfied? I heard that there is a very famous Yangchun noodles in mainland China. I was worried that you might not be used to Western pastries, so I asked someone to teach me how to cook noodles."

"It smells delicious. Thank you, Auntie." Chu Yuexing felt warm in her heart. She hadn't eaten Yangchun noodles for a long time. She was in a good mood after tasting the familiar taste again.

Auntie had been waiting for the ladies all morning because she didn't know what time they would get up. After being praised, she cleared the dishes on the table, "As long as you ladies like to eat, I am willing to cook every day."

"Fourth Aunt, have you seen Ayi?"

"The young lady went to the garden early in the morning, and seemed to want to dig something. I asked the workers to help, but the young lady didn't say it was necessary."

Chu Yueqing went to the garden at the back. Sure enough, she saw a petite figure moving back and forth in the dirt from a distance. She was wearing a straw hat, half bent over, holding a small hoe and waving it seriously in the soil.

She stepped forward and asked: "Ayi, what are you doing after waking up so early?"

"Planting flowers." Chu Yi squatted on the ground and raised her head. The rope under the straw hat swayed with the movement. Her white and slender fingers were already covered with mud. She held the small hoe in one hand and rubbed her itchy right cheek.

Soon, her fair face was also stained with black soil. She laughed, "I plan to plant flowers here."

"There are flowers here already, why do you want to plant more?" Chu Yueqing was puzzled.

"Oh, it's different." Chu Yi stood up, she looked at the turned land, and proudly put her hands on her waist, "I plan to plant roses all over this large area, so that my sister can feel better when she lives here! And here, I plan to dig a pond to raise a few goldfish."

Chu Yueqing looked at the place he pointed to. Originally, there was a water tank there to raise water lilies. If she wanted to dig a small pond to raise fish, it would be good.

She praised: "You have the vision of a Feng Shui master, you are worthy of being my sister. The place you pointed out is the most suitable place in the whole garden for digging water and raising fish. It will go smoothly and also bring good luck to the God of Wealth."

"Really?" Chu Yi's eyes sparkled, and she covered her mouth and laughed, "I said that I will definitely be a super rich woman in the future. When the time comes, I will definitely buy houses all over the world for my sister."

Chu Yueling stood by, and suddenly, she remembered something, "The Zhou family is holding a birthday party in the afternoon, are you going?"

"No." Chu Yi shook her head, "I made an appointment with Chen Mixin last week to set up a stall at the entrance of the amusement park. We can't let people fly."

"Okay." Chu Yueling couldn't help but poke Chu Yi's bulging cheeks, "I know you make money more than anything else."

"Of course." Chu Yi pouted, "Otherwise, how can my sister be the happiest woman in the world? We must seize every opportunity we can!"

After a while,

the laughter of the two people came from the garden again.

Outside the mansion on the top of Taiping Peak is a lawn covering hundreds of square meters. At this time, many servants are arranging lights and laying long tables.

The Zhou family has not held a dinner party for a long time.

A middle-aged woman in a velvet dark green cheongsam stood by and stared at the layout. She felt that there was not enough wine and drinks, so she arranged for someone to get it.

As soon as she turned around, she saw a middle-aged man carrying a briefcase coming in. She was puzzled: "Huh? Are you done with the company's work?"

"All the urgent matters have been done." Zhou Zhi handed the briefcase to the waiting Sister Xia, put his hand on Xu Dan's waist, and smiled: "Our family has never been fond of things like dinner parties. I'll be sad if my wife and son are tired later."

"You have to be careful." Xu Dan said coquettishly.

Zhou Zhi loosened his tie, his eyes swept across the lawn, and then looked at the house, "Erice?"

"Upstairs." Xu Dan whispered.

Zhou Zhi couldn't help laughing, "What's wrong? Are you whispering? Are you worried that others will hear you talking?"

"What a bad guy." Xu Dan pulled Zhou Zhi's suit jacket and looked around mysteriously. "Just now, Sister Xia said that she saw Erice coming back with a big bouquet of flowers."

Flowers!

Zhou Zhi's eyes widened in surprise.

If it was someone else, he might not be surprised.

But the one who bought the flowers was Erica. When has she ever bought flowers except for Xu Dan's birthday?

"Is it true? It doesn't have to be for a girl?"

Erica has been good at academics since she was a child, but she is not good at relationships. The couple is extremely anxious.

If she continues to be single like this, how can she start a family?

Could it be that the love has really come to an end?

Xu Dan shook her head: "I don't know for now. If the flowers are really for a girl, she should be here soon. We'll check it out."

Suddenly, Chu Yueqing's face flashed through her mind. She

sighed again.

"She can tell fortunes and is pretty. With her, the company has people to look up to. The two of them are a perfect match in appearance alone. Girls nowadays all pursue romance. If Erice wasn't such a stolid person, I would have personally come to her house to act as a matchmaker no matter what."

"What are you talking about? I don't understand a word you say." Zhou Zhi saw Xu Dan's face full of regret and was very puzzled.

"Oh, it's the young friend I told you about before. She and I get along like sisters, and our relationship is so good. It would be even better if we could be related by blood, but unfortunately Erice is not blessed."

God knows how much she likes Master Chu, who is beautiful and capable.

Unfortunately, the Zhou family is not blessed.

If her son was able to do it, she would definitely rush to be the matchmaker herself.

"Sons and daughters have their own destiny." Zhou Zhi put his arm around his depressed wife's shoulders and comforted her, "Don't worry too much, you will get old quickly. Didn't you want to go to Malaysia for vacation before? When are you going? The plane has been inspected, there is no problem."

"Go, go, go, why are you going?" Xu Dan sighed again as she looked at the banquet venue that had been set up on the lawn.

"The party has turned into a dinner party, and we have to deal with a lot of people. Erica doesn't have many friends, and I don't know if it will be boring later." After all,

a party is a gathering of young people, drinking, singing, dancing, and whatever they want to do. If

parents are involved in this situation, how can these children be relaxed?

Zhou Zhi also knew it, and frowned: "I don't know where they got the news of A Xu's birthday, and they all want to come here to make connections. I can't do anything about it. Many of them are partners, and they want to come to help celebrate, which is not wrong?"

In addition, the news that Hong Kong will soon return to China has been reported.

The Zhou family has become the target of various forces trying to win over.

Xu Dan also knew this, and her eyebrows were tightly knitted. "The situation has been so turbulent recently, I wonder how many people are harboring evil intentions."

"Didn't the Governor of Hong Kong send several people to contact us? He implied that he wanted us to stand on the same boat with him and prevent us from returning."

The Governor of Hong Kong is the representative of the King sent by the United Kingdom to Hong Kong. Most of them were born as diplomats, and many of them are noble earls, who have absolute power in the political arena.

Seeing that sovereignty is about to be returned to the mainland, some forces naturally can't sit still.

"The foreign devils really dare to think of anything." Zhou Zhi snorted coldly.

When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the Zhou family risked their lives to send a lot of support materials, and later helped many trapped scientists return to their country to serve the motherland.

The Hong Kong government is currently unaware of these things. If it knew, let alone pulling them apart, I'm afraid they would kill people to silence them.

In doing this, the Zhou family never seeks any fame or fortune. The only thing I think about is that the Chinese people can take charge of their own affairs and stay away from bullying.

"Nowadays in Xiangjiang, foreigners are in charge. The people are not like humans, and ghosts are not like ghosts. In everything, foreigners are superior to others. When they go to the restaurant to get a seat, foreigners are given priority. Want to prevent the return? The Yan family shovel! Let them dream of being big!"

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but swear, his face was deep, thinking of the grievances suffered by the people of Xiangjiang over the years, and his chest was heaving even more.

The Zhou family will never prevent the return, nor will they become the executioners of foreigners, let alone give them the opportunity to use the Zhou family to threaten the mainland.

He just wants to be an upright Chinese.

More and more guests are coming.

Zhou Zhi and Xu Dan were entertaining guests at the door. Suddenly, a broken Cantonese voice came.

A broken Cantonese voice came.

"Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Zhi turned his head and saw the visitor and smiled subconsciously. The anger he had just mentioned disappeared in an instant as if it had never existed.

He cursed in his heart.

What a ghost, where did the devil come from?

The visitor was a foreign couple. The man was about 40 or 50 years old, with blond hair and eyes, and a mustache under his long hooked nose. He wore a black suit with a khaki vest. Next to him stood a white lady of the same age. She wore a light gray suit and a black hat inlaid with rose lace nets. Behind her were many security guards with guns.

Very stylish.

The foreigner winked, and the security guards left some to guard the door, while the others followed the foreigner.

"Mr. Mai." Zhou Zhi smiled pretentiously, "How come you have time to come to my humble abode today?" "

Mr. Zhou, you are wrong about this matter. It's a good thing to celebrate your son's birthday, why didn't you say anything?" Mai Huade raised his hand and asked someone to send the gift over, "A small token of my appreciation."

The gift box was a big box, and it seemed that the security guards were holding it with both hands.

Zhou Zhi pushed the gift box back and smiled, "I appreciate the appreciation, but forget about the gift. I'm not planning to hold a banquet, so I don't plan to accept any gifts."

"Mr. Zhou, don't you want to open it and take a look?" Mai Huade stroked his mustache and smiled, "I'm not sure, you will like this gift."

Open it and take a look?

There was no need to open it, Zhou Zhi knew it was either land or real gold and silver.

Want to bribe the Zhou family with benefits?

How come he is such a money-grubbing person?

"After accepting gifts from Mr. Mai, I have to accept gifts from others too. I really don't like accepting gifts, please forgive me." Zhou Zhi evaded the question again.

Xu Dan also came over to smooth things over and pulled Mrs. Mai to chat aside.

Seeing that the Zhou family refused to accept gifts, Mai Huade asked the security to take the things away first and changed the subject to talk about other things.

About half an hour later.

Mrs. Mai took the opportunity to ask, "Mr. Zhou, everyone knows that you have a good son, but you are still single, right?"

"I also have a good daughter who is now studying at Oxford University in the UK. If there is a chance, why not arrange a dinner for them, and if they are in love, they can get married soon."

Zhou Zhi's eyebrows jumped.

What marriage?

Just as he was about to speak, a steady voice came.

"Don't bother Mrs. Mai about the marriage."

Mrs. Mai took her husband's arm and looked over with curiosity.

The tall man walked out of the door. He was dressed for business, a white shirt with black trousers. His wrist bones were exposed under his sleeves. He was holding a glass of red wine.

Mrs. Mai knew that he was a charming and handsome man without having to observe the eyes of the ladies around him.

"Why?" Mrs. Mai wondered.

"I already have a crush on someone." Zhou Fengxu pursed his lips and smiled faintly, "The Zhou family has always been stubborn. Once you set your mind on one person, you won't look at a second one."

"Erice."

MacHuad stroked his mustache, his blue eyes gleaming, and smiled, "You are a smart person. In this world, you can get divorced even if you are married, let alone someone you just love."

"My daughter is very outstanding. She is the most polite socialite in the UK and will become the most famous designer in the UK. You know, now the number of people who want to ask her for a design drawing has already reached after graduation."

"A socialite lady who pursues her dreams. I believe that there is no woman in Hong Kong who can compare to her."

MacHuad's words were full of pride.

He has met women in Hong Kong, no, it should be said that he has met too many Asian women, they are willing to be ordinary, they do not have the courage to pursue their dreams, they are willing to live under the wings of men, like a canary kept in an iron cage.

Beauty is beauty, but it is difficult to inspire a man's desire to conquer.

A wild and elegant madam is a man's dream lover.

Plus power.

He believes that the smart Zhou family must know how to choose.

At this time, a beautiful young lady walked over slowly, and the CHANEL haute couture black dress skirt wrapped her slender figure perfectly.

In just one second, she stole the attention of most people in the hall.

Feeling the awkward atmosphere on the scene.

And the unfriendly eyes of foreigners.

Chu Yueqing raised an eyebrow.

Just now, she had heard what Mr. McHuad said.

"Mr. McHuad, there are so many excellent women in Hong Kong. They have ideas, abilities and talents, and there is no need to compare them with anything. You haven't seen them, to a certain extent, because..."

She smiled.

"Ignorance."
