When Mr. Zhou heard this, he trembled all over and was so scared that the dentures in his mouth almost flew out.
He pointed at Zhou Hong with a trembling hand and murmured, "You...you...are you..."
Zhou Hong regretted asking this question. Now, seeing Mr. Zhou's exaggerated reaction, he quickly said, "I'm just asking. There's nothing else to do. I'm leaving first!"
Seeing Zhou Hong was about to turn around and leave, Mr. Zhou also reacted. He shouted anxiously: "Wait! Don't go!"
Then he quickly turned around, opened the Huangqi pear wood cabinet behind him, took out the box containing the sapphire brooch, and handed it to Zhou Hong with trembling hands.
Mr. Zhou wanted to ask Zhou Hong what he wanted to do with the brooch, but he swallowed the words back.
After all, the higher the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Mr. Zhou felt that he couldn't stand the stimulation anymore.
He could only look at Zhou Hong with expectant eyes, hoping that Zhou Hong would give him good news.
Under Mr. Zhou's eager gaze, Zhou Hong did not dare to stay for too long. He picked up the brooch and turned away.
After Zhou Hong left, Grandpa Zhou hurriedly called in his grandson Zhou Ran.
Under Zhou Ran's puzzled gaze, Mr. Zhou grabbed his hand tightly and asked anxiously, "Do you know what your uncle has been doing all this time?"
Zhou Ran thought that the old man was still brooding over Zhou Hong's absence from home, and quickly replied: "Uncle has been living in the police station almost since he was discharged from the hospital. Grandpa, uncle is really busy, he didn't mean to not come."
Otherwise, Zhou Hong would not have entrusted Zhou Ran with the task of delivering the gifts to the Xia family.
Mr. Zhou frowned when he heard this: "Living in the police station? ...Then is he particularly close to any woman in the police station?"
Zhou Ran was even more confused when he heard this: "How would I know this? Grandpa, I don't live in the police station."
Old Master Zhou narrowed his eyes, leaned close to Zhou Ran, and asked in his ear with a very serious expression: "Just now your uncle took away the sapphire brooch... Do you think he has taken a fancy to a girl from a certain family? "
Thinking of this possibility, Mr. Zhou's heart started beating wildly and he was extremely excited. His originally slightly cloudy eyes became clear, and he looked energetic with his eyes shining.
The thing that worries him most in his life is his eldest son's marriage, which has almost become a knot in his heart. If Zhou Hong really has to live a lonely life, Mr. Zhou feels that he will not be able to close his eyes when he dies!
Zhou Ran took a deep breath when he heard this.
He just felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck him directly on the forehead.
He recalled that when Zhou Hong said he had no appetite in the hospital, he still ate up the lunch box that Xia's mother and daughter brought over...
Thinking back to this period of time, Zhou Hong explained in detail the various supplies he had sent to the Xia family...
I want to get the pistol that Zhou Hong helped the Xia family apply for despite all the difficulties...
Just now Zhou Hongfei asked me to send bodyguards to follow Xia Shige and Tang Shiqi...
Now Zhou Hong is leaving again. The sapphire brooch that Mr. Zhou is going to give to his eldest daughter-in-law...
All the clues during this period were connected together——
Zhou Ran felt that Zhou Hong must be interested in Xia Shige!
Seeing Zhou Ran looking like he was struck by lightning, Old Man Zhou frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why do you have that expression? Do you know something?!"
Seeing Zhou Ran remained silent, Mr. Zhou anxiously grabbed Zhou Ran and shook him: "What do you know? Tell me quickly! Is your uncle really interested in that girl?"
But no matter how much Mr. Zhou urged him, Zhou Ran's eyes were always wandering, and he murmured, "How is this possible..."
Zhou Ran was sorting out a relationship map in his mind - now, my uncle is pursuing my wife's good sister.
——If my uncle succeeds, then my wife’s good sister will become my aunt.
