Chapter 117 Reluctant to Part
The next day, which was the weekend, Wang Yuehua called and asked the couple to come home for dinner that evening.
After breakfast, the couple first accompanied their grandparents for a walk in the park.
As soon as she stepped outside, she saw several cars parked in front of the neighbor's house, and Sun Yurong was standing next to her directing the moving company to load things onto the cars.
Zhou Jia was also helping out. When she saw her grandparents, she ran over to greet them: "Grandpa and Grandma, are you going for a walk?"
Yu Minhua nodded and looked over there: "What are you doing?"
Zhou Jia glanced at her second brother and sister-in-law, and said with a sour expression, "My third brother and sister-in-law are moving in with my mother. They're moving today. Grandpa and Grandma, my sister-in-law is about to give birth, could you please...?"
Besides what's publicly known, no one knows how much other family property the Zhou family has accumulated over generations. Even if the second brother is the heir, they will still receive a considerable share when their grandparents pass away.
If her third brother moves out now, it's no different from giving up all the family property. They still have children to raise, how can they survive without money? She couldn't help but want to say a few kind words to him.
Yu Minhua looked at her: "Compared to your third brother, you are a good one, you know how to care about your own brother. But do you know that ever since your third brother made your grandfather sick, he has not only not expressed any concern, but has not even made a single phone call to your grandfather?"
Zhou Jia blushed; this was something her third brother was capable of doing.
She was both angry and annoyed, feeling disappointed in him. She felt he had brought it on himself by not having the money to raise his child.
Yu Minhua: "You feel sorry for your third brother, but you should also feel sorry for us."
Zhou Jia said with shame, "Grandma, I...I'm sorry."
Yu Minhua wouldn't get angry with her over something like this, so she said, "Go help."
When Zhou Jia returned to the next room, Sun Yurong hurriedly asked her, "What did your grandparents say?"
Zhou Jia: "What? How do you say it?"
Sun Yurong tapped her forehead: "Your third brother wants to move out, and they didn't say anything? They just let him move out like that?"
Zhou Jia was already angry, and hearing this made her even angrier: "After all the good things Third Brother has done, he still wants something in return? Doesn't he think he's so capable? What kind of reward does he need?"
Instead of taking the right path to success, he insists on going down a dead end, as if he really thinks that a dead end can lead to a bright future.
Zhou Mingyuan suddenly looked at her: "You went to your grandparents to plead for me?"
Zhou Jia: "I'm doing this all for you guys..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Mingyuan interrupted her sharply: "Who told you to go? Did I tell you to go?"
Zhou Jia was startled by his appearance, and her eyes immediately reddened: "I... I was just thinking of you..."
Zhou Mingyuan sneered: "Thinking of me? I think you're thinking of yourself, aren't you? You're afraid that if we move out, you'll be all alone, so you don't want us to move out, right?"
Zhou Jia took a deep breath: "Fine, fine, it's all my fault for meddling. We're all bad people, all vain. Only you are so high-minded. Then go ahead and live your lives with your high-mindedness. If I ever interfere in your affairs again, may my mouth rot."
After saying that, he ran back into the house.
Sun Yurong frowned: "Your sister is only doing this for your own good..."
Zhou Mingyuan retorted, "If you really cared about me, you wouldn't ignore everything I say, go against me, and join others in looking down on me."
When Sun Caijie came out of the bathroom and heard this, he couldn't help but sneer. They've already been kicked out of the Zhou family, and they're still so naive.
He asked, "Didn't your uncle say he'd give you a house? When will you get it?"
Zhou Mingyuan said unhappily, "My mother and he are divorced, but your uncle is being addressed so affectionately..."
As for the house? His father has already kicked him out, and he doesn't want his house anymore. If he wants a house, he will buy it himself in the future.
Sun Caijie hesitated for a moment, thinking to himself, "When I become Zhou Mingshi in the future, I'll call him even more affectionately. You, Zhou Mingyuan, can't enjoy being a rich young master, but I can."
More than an hour later, after everything was moved, Zhou Mingyuan helped He Xishan walk out. When he saw Sun Caijie's car, he thought of Sun's earlier disdain and couldn't help but ask with a sneer, "Why does this car look a bit like Second Brother's car?"
Sun Caijie felt a chill run down his spine; he hadn't expected Zhou Mingyuan to be so perceptive.
Zhou Mingyuan looked at his clothes and hairstyle again and noticed that he not only imitated his second brother's clothes, but also his hairstyle.
He scoffed, "You really think that by copying Second Brother's clothes and buying the same car, you can become Second Brother? With your brain, you could study for a hundred years and still not become like Second Brother."
He disliked his second brother, but he disliked this cousin even more, who was like a bedbug hiding in the sewer, exuding darkness.
They bought houses and cars with the help of the Zhou family, yet they still look down on him? Who gave them the nerve?
Sun Caijie's face darkened, and he clenched his fists.
Although Zhou Mingyuan's words hit a nerve, he had to admit that he was right, and this was something he had to consider.
His personality and abilities were completely mismatched with Zhou Mingshi's.
If he were to become Zhou Mingshi, those around him would quickly realize something was amiss, and he would have to think of a solution.
Looking at his unpredictable face, Zhou Mingyuan felt much better. Just as he was about to speak, he saw his grandparents, father, second brother and sister-in-law walking over from the side. He silently lowered his head.
Seeing his expression, Sun Caijie sneered inwardly and began calling out from afar, "Grandpa Zhou, Grandma Zhou, Uncle..."
As he called out, his gaze lingered on Zhou Mingshi for a moment: "President Zhou."
He completely ignored Lin Yi'an, who was standing next to him.
Zhou Mingshi glanced at him, then took Lin Yi'an's hand and walked home.
The old man and woman smiled and agreed, without saying much, and followed them home.
Zhou Kanghui looked at him and said, "Sun Caijie, your aunt and I are divorced. I'm not your uncle anymore. You should change how you address me. If you keep calling me that, people who don't know me will think I'm married."
After saying that, he left.
Sun Caijie's gaze followed Zhou Mingshi's retreating figure intently...
Back home, Zhou Mingshi patted Lin Yi'an and said, "Don't frown."
Lin Yi'an grabbed his hand: "The way Sun Caijie looked at you was so blatant. He desperately wanted to be you, and he was absolutely certain he could be you..."
Zhou Mingshi sat down next to her: "Worried about me?"
Lin Yi'an frowned: "I've never hated anyone this much..."
Zhou Mingshi touched the white jade bracelet on her wrist: "Keep someone watching him; he won't succeed."
Lin Yi-an: "Do you always wear your protective amulet?"
Zhou Mingshi: "They're in the car, in the office, and on my body."
He pulled her into his arms: "We just got married, I won't abandon you."
Lin Yi'an looked at him: "Just because you've been married for a long time, does that mean you can just abandon them?"
Looking at her slightly angry face, Zhou Mingshi suddenly smiled: "You can't bear to part with me?"
Lin Yi'an nudged him: "I'm talking to you seriously, don't laugh..."
Zhou Mingshi: "No matter how long it takes, I can't bear to part with it."
At this point, he lowered his head and asked with a smile, "Does Yi'an like me very much? Is she so reluctant to part with me?"
Lin Yi'an: "......"
Zhou Mingshi: "Do you like it or not?"
Lin Yi'an: "...I like it."
Zhou Mingshi smiled.
Lin Yi'an was speechless: "Didn't you already know?"
Zhou Mingshi: "I know, and I'd like to hear it."
