Chapter 98 Caring for Her Husband
In the old house, Zhou Qisheng and Yu Minhua had dinner and were sitting in the living room listening to the news.
Butler Liu walked over and said, "The people investigating the He family just sent a message saying that they took their thirteen-year-old son abroad and disappeared after arriving. As for the person who conspired with the Third Young Mistress's father to deceive the Third Young Master, he has already fled abroad and we haven't found him yet. His identity may be fake."
Zhou Qisheng's expression remained unchanged as he asked, "Did the third brother send those antiques for appraisal?"
Butler Liu paused for a moment: "No."
Zhou Qisheng sneered, turned his head and said to Yu Minhua, "Do you think there's any point in saving a grandson like this?"
Yu Minhua looked at Butler Liu and asked, "Tomorrow is the day to transfer pocket money to them?"
Butler Liu: "Yes."
Yu Minhua said, "The third son and his wife's allowance has been taken away. Since he feels that he is capable of making money, I will satisfy his desire for self-reliance."
She doesn't consider herself a harsh elder. She allows her children and grandchildren to make mistakes and gives them time to grow. Even if they are unwilling to strive and become playboys who only know how to eat, drink, and have fun, as long as they don't do anything that crosses the line, her family can afford to support them, and she can tolerate it.
But she never listens to her own words, and even thinks that the well-intentioned reminders from her family and elders are disrespectful and contemptuous. She insists on going down the wrong path. Why should she waste her resources on such ungrateful wretches?
The next day, the weekend, Zhou Jia saw the extra money in her account, and her gloomy mood instantly brightened. She got up early to dress up and prepare to go shopping.
Each child in the family receives three million yuan in pocket money every month, which is given to them by their grandparents.
He Xishan hadn't been able to contact her parents for the past few days. She didn't know where they were, so she secretly went home to check. She discovered that they had sold their old house, and she was becoming increasingly uneasy...
Zhou Jia hummed a little tune, picked up her bag and went downstairs, intending to grab a quick breakfast before heading out. Seeing her sitting there, she asked, "Third Sister-in-law, Grandpa and Grandma gave you pocket money again. Your due date is in two months. Do you want to go out and buy something for the baby?"
How could He Xishan be in the mood for shopping?
She forced a smile and said, "You go ahead, I won't go."
Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Zhou Jia did not press her and asked, "Oh, by the way, did you take those antiques to be appraised?"
He Xishan was already annoyed by this matter, and when she suddenly asked this question, her tone became a little harsh due to her agitation: "This is between your third brother and me, why should you, a mere sister-in-law, meddle so much?"
Zhou Jia meant well, but she didn't expect the woman's tone to be so aggressive, and she lost her patience: "Fine, I won't care then. Do you think I want to care about you?"
After saying that, he didn't even bother with breakfast, just drank a glass of milk and left.
He Xishan ignored her and, after thinking for a moment, picked up her phone to ask a friend for help in finding out where her parents were.
She went back to her room, locked the door, and started contacting her friends. She said something to them, "Money is not a problem. You must help me find out where my parents are. No, you absolutely cannot call the police."
"I pay for the work, and you do the work, but don't meddle in things that aren't your responsibility."
"Okay, I'll pay the deposit to you right away."
After hanging up the phone, she opened her online banking and frowned when she saw the balance in her account.
She dialed Zhou Mingyuan's number and said, "Mingyuan, I want to buy some things for the baby..."
Zhou Mingyuan: "I'm still busy. My card is in the drawer. You know the password."
He Xishan paused for a moment: "Has your allowance arrived yet?"
Zhou Mingyuan: "Is today the day Grandpa and Grandma give us pocket money? Let me see."
After a while, he said, "No."
He Xishan: "Jiajia has arrived. She went out shopping early this morning."
Zhou Mingyuan gripped his phone tightly, and after a long while said, "If you don't have it, then you don't have it. I have money, and it's the same if you spend my money."
He Xishan asked, "Are there no married couples among us, or are we the only ones who aren't married? Don't our eldest brother and sister-in-law, and second brother and sister-in-law either?"
Zhou Mingyuan didn't speak; he didn't know.
He Xishan pursed her lips: "Let's talk when you get back. I'm hanging up now."
Lin Yi'an originally planned to go back to the old house to visit her grandparents and then go see her mother-in-law in the evening.
But Zhou Mingshi kept pestering her, so the couple had to change their plans and go see his mother-in-law in the evening before returning to their old house.
The two lingered in the room all morning, and it was almost noon when Zhou Mingshi finally took out a few jewelry boxes from his suitcase.
Lin Yi'an looked at the jewelry box in his hand and asked, "Did you buy this for me?"
"You guessed it so quickly?"
Zhou Mingshi laughed and said, "So giving you jewelry now isn't a surprise anymore?"
Lin Yi'an leaned against the headboard, amused: "It's a surprise too."
“I have a lot of jewelry, and things are more valuable because they are rare. Besides, you buy a lot of jewelry, so you don’t need to bring me gifts every time.”
Zhou Mingshi sat on the edge of the bed, took out the necklace and put it on her: "You can wear it interchangeably. Next time we go to Changping, leave some jewelry there. It's not a big surprise, but you can't take away my pleasure in dressing up my wife."
Lin Yi'an looked at herself in the mirror and said, "You have excellent taste; I love every gift you give me."
Zhou Mingshi: "And bracelets..."
Lin Yi'an extended her hand to him, and he grasped her wrist, noticing the white jade bracelet on it: "You really like this bracelet?"
Lin Yi'an followed his gaze and said, "I like it. Grandma said that it's a good omen because it comes in pairs, and it was given to me by you in the draw."
Zhou Mingshi squeezed her hand: "Since you like it, wear it first, and wear the bracelet later."
Lin Yi'an: "Okay."
Zhou Mingshi: "Go down for dinner."
Lin Yi'an: "Mm."
I had just sat down at the dining table when I received a call from Secretary Shen.
Zhou Mingshi: "What's wrong?"
Secretary Shen: "President Zhou, Mr. Bellair has an upset stomach."
Zhou Mingshi: "...What did you take him to eat?"
Secretary Shen: "Last night he saw others eating barbecue and fried skewers, and he wanted to eat them too. He ate a lot, and this morning he also drank ice water."
Zhou Mingshi: "Take him to the hospital."
Secretary Shen said, "He said that his wife is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and he wants to go to his wife's TCM clinic for treatment."
Zhou Mingshi: "There are doctors at the traditional Chinese medicine clinic, take him there."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi'an asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Mingshi said, "Belair has an upset stomach and is going to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. I have already asked Secretary Shen to take him there."
Lin Yi-an: "Let's eat first, and then we'll go take a look."
Zhou Mingshi is now a family-oriented CEO who doesn't want to go out, but he has no choice but to agree when his wife speaks up.
Lin Yi-an explained, "Guests are always welcome. If you go to France, he'll take care of you too..."
Zhou Mingshi said with a smile, "Although I'm glad you took care of him because of me..."
"But I still need to make it clear to you that we arranged our own itinerary in France. We didn't ask him to take care of us or accompany us. You don't need to take care of him specifically for my sake."
Lin Yi'an smiled at him. Meeting her gaze, he slowly said, "A person's energy is limited. You just need to do the work you enjoy and take care of your husband..."
Lin Yi'an chuckled softly, "Okay, besides work, I will take better care of my husband. Thank you for your advice, husband."
Zhou Mingshi smiled and said, "You're welcome."
