Chapter 32 Future Sisters-in-Law
Bai Zhirong didn't feel embarrassed when he didn't say those words, but now she truly felt embarrassed.
But still unwilling to give up, she asked, "In your heart, am I really that bad?"
Zhou Mingshi: "You are the daughter of the Bai family. The Bai family has a good family tradition, and their children are very well-mannered."
Bai Zhirong's eyes reddened: "Then why didn't you ask me out after we only had two meals together?"
Zhou Mingshi: "We are not a good match."
Bai Zhirong: "Not suitable? Does that mean Miss Lin is suitable?"
Zhou Mingshi interrupted her coldly: "Miss Bai, if you continue this entanglement, you will only be the one who gets embarrassed."
Bai Zhirong took another deep breath: "Okay, I understand."
After Zhou Mingshi left, Lin Yi'an went back to her room to remove her makeup and changed into her home clothes. Lin Manqing and Lin Jingyun knocked on her door.
Lin Yi'an leaned against the bed and said, "Come in."
Lin Manqing glanced at her and asked, "How was your visit to the Zhou family today?"
Lin Yi-an said frankly, "It's not as quiet as our home."
Lin Manqing said, "With five children and three mothers, you can imagine how chaotic it must have been."
Lin Jingyun asked curiously, "Then do you regret it?"
Lin Yi-an said gently, "Zhou Ming-shi said that after we get married, his father, stepmother, younger brother and sister will move out of the old house, and we won't live together."
Lin Jingyun's eyes widened: "Grandpa Zhou agrees too?"
Lin Manqing leaned against her sister's headboard and scoffed, "Disagree? Disagree? Do you expect me to watch my children and grandchildren fight and quarrel every day? Will it cause brothers to turn against each other in the future?"
“Even if Zhou Mingshi’s brothers and sisters have their own thoughts, they at least maintain a superficial peace. They can still sit down and have a meal together during holidays. Once they tear each other apart, it will be a real disaster. Even if the old man and woman favor Zhou Mingshi a little, it doesn’t mean they don’t love their other grandchildren.”
Lin Jingyun thought for a moment and said, "Zhou Mingshi rose to power so easily, which shows that the old man and the old lady doted on him more than just a little."
Lin Manqing tapped her forehead: "You, you won't go to work at the company, all you do is date that Su You, and you only look at the surface of things."
"When the Zhou family returned to the mainland, it seemed to be doing very well, but it was all vanity and prosperity. They had limited connections in the mainland. Zhou Mingshi's father was incompetent, and the next generation had not yet been raised. Several factories of the Zhou family ran into problems one after another, which was obviously because they were being targeted. The Tan family had a deep background, and only after marrying Aunt Tan was the Zhou family able to get through the difficulties safely."
“In March, Zhou Mingshi’s uncle was transferred to the Southwest Province and joined the Southwest Provincial Party Committee. If the old man and woman weren’t stupid, they would know who to entrust the Zhou family to in order to ensure the Zhou family’s prosperity.”
"Zhou Mingshi is indeed very promising; he is far more outstanding than his older brother and Zhou Mingyuan."
Lin Jingyun smacked her lips: "How wronged Aunt Tan is to marry Zhou Kanghui! What does he have? He's a divorcee."
Lin Manqing rolled her eyes at her: "What does Zhou Kanghui have? Zhou Kanghui has a rich father. How can you develop the economy without money?"
"Do you think Aunt Tan is like you, only seeing romance and love?"
"The Zhou family made their fortune in the textile industry in their early years. Although they have shifted their focus to machinery manufacturing in recent years, the textile industry remains their most important industry."
"When Aunt Tan's sports brand was first established, it also relied heavily on the Zhou family."
"Although she is divorced from Zhou Kanghui, she still visits the two elderly people in the Zhou family during holidays."
Lin Jingyun said, "I can never be like you. It's enough that you've worked hard for our family. I'm fine with just following behind you and eating and drinking."
She doesn't have any great ambitions.
Before the National Day holiday ended and while the weather was neither too hot nor too cold, Zhou Mingshi and Lin Yi'an discussed it and decided to take their wedding photos.
When the mothers on both sides heard that they were going to take wedding photos, they enthusiastically offered their opinions.
Zhou Mingshi hired a professional photography team, but they couldn't offer any suggestions; they just stood by and kept filming with their cameras.
The shooting locations weren't specially arranged; they included the couple's respective homes, the old houses of the Lin and Zhou families, and other outdoor locations. The only regret for Lin Yi'an was that due to limited time, they couldn't go back to Changping to take some wedding photos.
Tan Qingwen and Wang Yuehua said, "It's rare for Ming Shi to cooperate so well. This is a rare opportunity, so I should take more pictures."
After the wedding photos were taken, the holiday came to an end.
After returning to their respective jobs, Lin Yi'an arrived at the traditional Chinese medicine clinic that day, and Yan Shuyan came to the clinic for a consultation.
After taking her pulse, Lin Yi'an said, "I'll prescribe two doses of medicine first. If you don't finish the second dose and your period starts, then you should stop taking the medicine."
Hearing her confident tone, Yan Shuyan felt relieved: "Okay."
After getting the medicine, she whispered, "Do you know what Zhou Mingyuan has been up to lately?"
Lin Yi'an: "I don't know."
Yan Shuyan said, "His girlfriend's father somehow got him a connection, and he bought a batch of antiques, planning to make a fortune from them..."
Lin Yi'an asked, puzzled, "Didn't they say his girlfriend's dad was a gambler who also knew about antiques?"
Yan Shuyan said meaningfully, "I don't know, maybe they know about antiques? Otherwise, how could the third brother spend so much money to buy so many antiques? I guess all the money he has saved over the years is in there."
After she finished speaking, she added, "I won't disturb your work. When are you free? Let's go shopping together."
Lin Yi'an glanced at the calendar: "I'm free on Saturday, how about Saturday?"
Yan Shuyan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll contact you by phone later."
Lin Yi'an thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the Zhou family to visit Grandpa and Grandma on Saturday, and then go shopping in the afternoon?"
Yan Shuyan: "You don't mind if I bring my little rascal, do you?"
Lin Yi'an said, "Songran is clever and cute, and not naughty. You must bring him along."
Yan Shuyan laughed: "When he got home, he secretly told me that the pretty aunt was his future second aunt. She even gave him a gift. When I said yes, he was so excited. He said his future second aunt was very gentle, never scolded him when they chatted, and liked him."
Lin Yi-an said with a smile, "He's very cute."
The two chatted for a few more minutes before Yan Shuyan left with the medicine.
On Friday night, Lin Yi'an received a call from Zhou Mingshi, inviting her to a gathering with her childhood friends on Saturday.
Lin Yi'an could only regretfully tell him, "Shuyan and I made an appointment to visit Grandpa and Grandma at the Zhou family's old house tomorrow, and then go shopping in the afternoon."
Zhou Mingshi was somewhat surprised. Every time he asked Lin Yi'an out, she would accept. He didn't expect to be rejected. He laughed and said, "When did you and your sister-in-law become so close?"
Lin Yi-an said, "We exchanged phone numbers the day we visited my grandparents, and we've kept in touch."
Zhou Mingshi chuckled softly: "Yi'an..."
Lin Yi'an: "Go ahead."
Zhou Mingshi joked, "It was just a joke, there's no need to take it so seriously."
Lin Yi'an: "......"
After a long silence on the phone, Zhou Mingshi asked, "Do you want me to go back to the old house with you tomorrow?"
Lin Yi'an said, "No need, I have Sister Shuyan with me."
"Songran will also be with me, you go and play with your childhood friend."
Was he being rejected?
Zhou Mingshi's feelings were mixed, but he smiled and said, "...Okay."
