Chapter 73 Bribing You to Like Me
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Kanghui ran to the old man and woman's storeroom and rummaged through their belongings. Any one of their things was presentable and would be perfect as a gift for their in-laws.
Seeing him carrying things to the car, Yu Minhua not only didn't stop him, but also gave instructions on which items were suitable for An'an's parents and which were suitable for An'an's grandmother...
After moving his things, Zhou Kanghui went next door and took the cook with him.
Yu Minhua glared at him: "You took Chef Qian away, what will happen to Mingyuan and the others?"
Without hesitation, Zhou Kanghui said, "I'm used to Chef Qian's cooking. Let Mingyuan hire another chef."
He knew how to enjoy life better than Zhou Mingshi; his luggage alone filled most of the car.
One car was not enough, so a truck followed behind. Before setting off, they sent a message to Lin Yi'an.
Lin Yi'an smiled when she saw his message: "Dad brought the chef too."
Zhou Mingshi: "He would never wrong himself."
Lin Yi'an: "It's fine."
Knowing they might not be used to the food here, they brought their own chef to try not to cause trouble for the locals.
Zhou Mingshi: "When he comes over, we'll have him pay his living expenses."
Lin Yi'an chuckled: "I'll pay his living expenses, he doesn't need to pay."
Zhou Mingshi: "Why are you so good to him?"
Lin Yi'an laughed: "Dad gave too much."
Zhou Mingshi pinched her nose: "You think I can buy you off with just a few shares?"
Lin Yi-an: "I'm very easy to bribe."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingshi looked at her and asked, "Is she really that easy to bribe?"
Lin Yi'an nodded.
Zhou Mingshi leaned his head close to hers and said, "There's someone here who also wants to bribe you."
Lin Yi'an looked up and met his gaze: "You want to bribe me?"
Zhou Mingshi: "Hmm, so what do you have to give in return for bribing me?"
"Why would you try to bribe me? Have I been unkind to you?"
Lin Yi'an hesitated. She felt that she had always been good to him. Did he think it wasn't enough?
Zhou Mingshi put his arm around her slender waist, pressed his forehead against hers, and said in a low voice, "I'm trying to win you over so you'll like me."
Lin Yi'an's eyes widened slightly.
"Is it okay?" His clear, gentle voice carried a hint of seduction, and his eyes were fixed on her, as if trying to see into the depths of her soul.
Lin Yi'an's face felt slightly hot.
Zhou Mingshi's gaze remained fixed on her face. Noticing the change in her expression, a pleased smile spread across his handsome face as he asked in a low voice, "Are you shy?"
Under his gaze, Lin Yi'an shifted her body, lowered her eyes, and whispered, "A little."
After thinking for a moment, she said, "It's normal to like your husband. You don't need to bribe me. I will like you."
Zhou Mingshi: "Does Lin Bao'er like her husband now?"
Lin Yi'an: "You...you can be more confident."
Zhou Mingshi gripped her waist tightly and pressed, "So, do you like it?"
Lin Yi'an looked at him and said, "I like it."
Zhou Mingshi suddenly hugged her tightly. After a while, he spoke, his voice a little hoarse: "I want to kiss you."
Lin Yi'an: "......"
Zhou Mingshi: "I wish it were at night..."
Lin Yi'an: "It's daytime, and lunch is just around the corner..."
"Hmm," Zhou Mingshi responded softly, and was about to speak when his phone rang.
Lin Yi'an nudged him: "My phone."
Zhou Ming reluctantly let go of her, and she picked up her phone: "It's Grandma calling."
She answered the call.
Yu Minhua's voice came through the phone: "An'an, after your dad passes away, if he does anything unreliable, just tell him off. If he doesn't listen, just call me."
Lin Yi'an said, "Grandma, don't worry. Dad is quite afraid of Ming Shi, but with him around, there won't be any problems."
Yu Minhua smiled and said, "I feel at ease with you all here."
He paused for a moment and then said, "Your dad got divorced. Don't overthink it. Just continue living your lives as usual. His divorce won't have much of an impact on our family."
Lin Yi-an: "I won't overthink it, and Ming-shi hasn't overthought it either. We will take good care of Dad."
Yu Minhua laughed: "You all just need to take care of yourselves. He's a grown man, and he even has a chef with him. He can take good care of himself."
The two chatted for a few more minutes, and Yu Minhua asked, "Is Mingshi with you?"
Lin Yi'an: "Grandma, he's right here. Should we give him the phone?"
Yu Minhua: "I'll say a few words to him."
When Lin Yi'an looked at Zhou Ming, she saw that he had recovered and handed him her phone.
Zhou Mingshi took the phone and, with a calm expression, called out, "Grandma."
The grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, then Assistant Chen came up to call them for lunch.
After hanging up the phone, the two went downstairs.
Zhou Kanghui arrived around 5 p.m. After getting out of the car, he went to greet Grandma Lin, Lin Shuhe, and Liu Zhengying.
"Auntie, brother, sister-in-law, I'm bothering you again."
Grandma Lin smiled, her wrinkles crinkling up: "We're all family, why are you bothering us? I love a lively atmosphere, you'll have to come often in the future."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhou Kanghui immediately noticed Quan Zisong standing next to him: "What are you doing here, kid?"
Quan Zisong touched his nose: "Uncle finally saw me? That was really difficult."
Zhou Kanghui: "What are you doing here?"
Quan Zisong: "I brought the celebrity to see the doctor."
Zhou Kanghui scrutinized him: "Can't we see it in the capital? Why do we have to bring you here? Did you do something wrong and come here to avoid trouble?"
He himself came here to avoid trouble, and assumed that Quan Zisong, who shouldn't be here, had also run into trouble and was hiding here.
Quan Zisong: "Uncle, you've been wronged..."
Zhou Kanghui said, "It's fine if you do bad things, but don't lead Mingshi astray. Of all you guys, you're the most dishonest and have the most cunning tricks up your sleeve."
Quan Zisong protested his innocence: "Who is smearing me? I'm so honest."
Zhou Kanghui: "Why would I need someone to smear me? There are rumors about you all over the industry."
Quan Zisong: "..."
Assistant Chen was chuckling to himself, and Quan Zisong glared at him: "You're still laughing?"
Assistant Chen looked completely innocent: "Can't I smile?"
Quan Zisong looked at Zhou Mingshi and said, "Take care of your assistant."
Zhou Mingshi smiled and said, "What do you mean? Can't we stop people from laughing? That's too domineering."
Quan Zisong: "..."
After exchanging a few more words, Zhou Kanghui saw that they had unloaded their luggage from the car, and looked at his son, saying, "I'll leave one car here, and let the truck go back?"
Zhou Mingshi: "Hmm."
Zhou Kanghui: "The air is still better here."
Grandma Lin smiled and said, "Spring rain is as precious as oil. It rained a little this morning, and the wild grass by the roadside is tender and the air is fresher."
Zhou Kanghui glanced around casually: "Ming Shi's car has driven back to the capital?"
The son cherished the car that Grandpa Lin gave him, but he didn't keep it this time.
At this point, the smiles on their faces disappeared.
Zhou Kanghui frowned: "What's wrong?"
Assistant Chen said, "President Zhou's car was vandalized."
Zhou Kanghui glared and shouted angrily, "Which bastard dares to smash my son's car?"
Assistant Chen: "From the next village."
Zhou Kanghui said aggressively, "I don't care which village they're from, you can't just smash my son's car."
Assistant Chen: "I heard that his son is a secretary in the county party committee."
Zhou Kanghui scoffed lightly: "A county party committee secretary, so capable? Does he have some kind of background?"
