Chapter 57 I'm a little scared
Zhang Kai found an excuse to go to the toilet and finally escaped from the clutches of Mr. Zhang. He made a big circle and ran to Cheng Yu.
"It's still quiet here with our brother Yu. There's no one within three meters." Zhang Kai breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm his nerves.
When I felt my pockets and found them empty, I remembered that I didn't bring cigarettes today.
His throat was a little itchy, so he took a glass of wine to calm it down, "Brother Yu, you will never imagine how outrageous the old man just did to me!"
Cheng Yu raised his eyelids and asked, "Sold you?"
Zhang Kai was shocked. "How did you know?" He nodded frantically and gave him a thumbs-up. "As expected of my brother Yu, you're so foresighted..."
Before he could finish, a short laugh interrupted him, full of joking, "Mr. Zhang is really smart. He knew to throw you out quickly, a money-loser, to prevent you from ruining the family."
Zhang Kai: "...Aren't we all just spendthrifts?"
Cheng Yu snorted and laughed, ignoring him.
Well, he's a spendthrift.
They, the second-generation rich, have heard this a lot, and even use it to mock themselves from time to time. But what does it matter if they are labeled as second-generation rich or a spendthrift? As long as they haven't broken the law, that's fine.
You can’t spend all the money you have in your lifetime.
Zhang Kai looked around and leaned close to Cheng Yu's ear in a mysterious tone.
Before he got close, Cheng Yu quietly moved to the other side and looked at him with a condescending attitude, his eyes full of disgust.
"Damn it, you dislike me even more than the old man does." Zhang Kai spat.
There was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said, "The old man wanted me to marry Zhou Zhou in front of my parents and Zhou Zhou's parents."
Deathly silence.
Zhang Kai watched Cheng Yu's gaze sweep across his body at least three times, his goose bumps still spreading with alarming frequency in the heated banquet hall. "Why are you looking at me?"
Cheng Yu withdrew his scrutiny, a hint of elusive evil hidden on his face: "Yue Da accepted you as his son-in-law, is he planning to let you ruin Yue Da as well?"
"Don't worry, my reputation is still better among you." Zhang Kai said.
He patted his chest, still feeling apprehensive, and half-jokingly said, "I was really scared. Brother Yu, you said that Zhou Zhou is Yizi's childhood friend. If we really want to arrange a marriage, won't Yizi come after me if he bullies her in the future?"
It's not really bullying.
Women are always emotional animals.
Now we each have our own way, but we may not be so generous after marriage. Rules are dead, but people are alive, and some conventional things can easily be broken by emotions.
If the situation really comes to that, you can't just let Zhou Zhou be locked up with an iron chain just because he is Yizai's childhood friend and also your friend, and not mess around with him out of courtesy, right?
Huge loss.
Cheng Yu snorted and laughed: "How shameless I am, and you still despise me."
"That's true." Zhang Kai didn't think there was anything wrong. "How could Zhou Zhou think highly of me?"
Cheng Yu listened lazily, losing interest in what he said next. His wrist rested on his side, the red wine swaying in his glass.
His eyes wandered across the hall, inadvertently glancing at the pretty black figure.
There was a man standing next to her. They looked at each other and smiled happily, then left the banquet hall side by side.
Zhang Kai followed his lazy gaze and saw their backs, then said, "I heard Zhou Zhou pursued him in America?
With such a grand display today, my parents suspect they're planning to gradually shift their business focus to China. How could we not know he's got other intentions? They're in love, and who knows, they might be together tomorrow."
Suddenly, an ice-cold wine glass fell into his hand.
He looked up in surprise and saw Cheng Yu had already stood up.
"Brother Yu, where are you going?" He put the wine glass aside.
Cheng Yu didn't look at him, and walked away lazily, his tone very calm: "You talk too much, find a quiet place."
Zhang Kai:?
Coming out of the banquet hall, the two went to the balcony at the end of the corridor.
Today's banquet was held in the hotel. Huiqi Bank booked an entire floor of the banquet hall. There were people everywhere, and only here was a quiet place.
The indoor heating is also isolated here, and the cold air permeates the air, instantly taking away the warmth from the body.
Zhou Zhou rubbed his arm and shuddered.
A coat was draped over her shoulders, still retaining the warmth of its owner.
Zhou Zhou turned his head and saw Yan Yiqi was only wearing a shirt and an iron-gray vest.
"Aren't you cold?" she asked.
"Not cold." Yan Yiqi smiled and helped her put on her clothes. "I think it's too hot inside. This will be a good relief."
He put his hands on the balcony railing and looked into the distance, overlooking the night view of the capital.
The jawline is very smooth, the eyes are very gentle, and there is an atmosphere of peace and tranquility everywhere.
Zhou Zhou, standing next to the railing like him, tilted his head and smiled at him: "Did you drink quite a bit today?"
Yan Yiqi came to her just now and wanted her to go out with him to get some fresh air.
Yan Yiqi's alcohol tolerance was okay, but not exceptional. Tonight, he was the star player, and everyone came to offer him a drink, and he quickly became overwhelmed.
He hummed, lowered his head and chuckled, "It's a good opportunity to hide."
He glanced at her again, the curve of his lips was very gentle, as soft as the light emitted by the crescent moon hanging in the sky, "Not as good as you."
Zhou Zhou doesn't need to practice his drinking capacity; it's a natural ability.
She laughed, leaned towards him, pointed at the moon in the sky and said, "Then make a wish to the moon now and ask it to share some of my alcohol with you. I guarantee that you will be invincible when you return."
"So amazing?" Yan Yiqi pretended to be surprised.
Zhou Zhou pecked at the rice and nodded.
Knowing that she was joking with bad intentions, Yan Yiqi still closed his hands, clasped them together, and made a serious wish towards the moon.
"What?" Zhou Zhou pulled his arm. "You actually made a wish to the moon. Only three-year-olds do that."
Yan Yiqi was pulled aside by her, and the doting in his eyes was about to overflow: "I don't believe in the moon, I believe in you."
"Then you have to make a wish to me." Zhou Zhou held his hand and made him face him. "Make a wish."
She stared at him without blinking, her eyes bright and dotted with stars. The bright moonlight became dim in front of her, and the lights of thousands of houses could not match her elegance.
Yan Yiqi lowered his eyes and looked at her holding his hand, without moving for a moment.
Her throat felt thick, as if something was about to burst forth. The knuckles hidden beneath her palm twitched, and he grasped her hand with his backhand.
Zhou Zhou's expression was slightly surprised, and he asked with a smile, "What's wrong? You can't make a promise to me?"
"No." Yan Yiqi shook his head.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Zhou saw that he looked a little serious and asked with concern, "Are you feeling uncomfortable after drinking too much?"
“No.”
The two denials made her hesitate, and she didn't know where his seriousness came from.
On the quiet and windless night, a gust of wind came from somewhere, silently passing through the railing and curling up the hem of her skirt.
The hem of the skirt swayed in the wind, creating ripples.
The wind blew through the unclosed glass door and opened the curtains. The curtains were blown up by the wind and swayed high in the wind.
"Zoe, I'm a little scared." Yan Yiqi said.
Zhou Zhou has known Yan Yiqi for a long time. He is always gentle and elegant like a gentleman. Anyone and anything can make him calm and composed. No matter how difficult the project is, it will not cause him too much waves.
He called her by her English name, just like when they were in America, except his voice was trembling. “Zoe, can you please have less contact with him?”
