Chapter 10: Fighting against the Lu Couple
Zhou Jibai, who had been busy all night, was now catching up on his sleep in the bedroom, sleeping like a dead pig.
While he was still deep in sleep, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.
Shi Huai looked at the man sleeping soundly on the bed with a snort, gritted his teeth, walked forward, and directly lifted the quilt covering him.
As soon as he lifted the quilt, Shi Huai was stunned.
"Ahhh!" Shi Huai quickly covered his eyes.
I didn't expect Zhou Jibai to have a habit of sleeping naked! I've been defeated by Zhou Jibai once again!
Shi Huai's exclamation and the sudden chill on his body finally made the person on the bed wake up a little.
He lazily raised his sleepy eyes, and in a daze he saw the woman standing in front of his bed with her eyes covered.
"Hmm."
Hearing Zhou Jibai's groaning voice, Shi Huai closed his eyes tightly and stepped forward: "Zhou Jibai, get up!"
Zhou Jibai yawned and slowly sat up from the bed.
He suddenly remembered his sleeping habits and woke up immediately.
He was stunned at first when he looked at his empty body without the quilt. But he was not embarrassed as Shi Huai imagined. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and naturally took the quilt that was thrown aside to cover his lower body.
"Why are you so excited so early in the morning?"
Shi Huai casually picked up the pillow on Zhou Jibai's bed and banged it on him a few times: "You, you, how can you be so shameless!!"
The reproachful tone sounded more like a meaningful act of coquettishness to Zhou Jibai. He let Shi Huai beat him, and when Shi Huai was angry, he reached out and pulled him into his arms.
"Did you see the gift I gave you?"
Shi Huai was forced to lie in his arms and took a deep breath: "Is this a gift you gave me?"
"Hmm." Zhou Jibai smiled. "It's rare for a family to have a living Buddha. I'd feel bad if I didn't make it known to everyone."
Shi Huai: ...
It seems that Zhou Jibai is still angry about yesterday.
Shi Huai pushed him away, not wanting to pay attention. She prepared to stand up, but was unexpectedly pushed back down by Zhou Jibai.
His long arms gently embraced Shi Huai's slender waist, and his warm and broad palms covered her belly, which had not yet shown any signs of bulging.
"Good morning, baby."
His voice, just after waking up, was low and magnetic, sexy and itchy to the ears.
Shi Huai's ears couldn't help but turn red, and the heat continued all the way to her cheeks. She bit her lip and muttered, "Who is your baby?"
Zhou Jibai's gaze fell on Shi Huai's lower abdomen, and he chuckled softly: "Your mother is quite self-righteous."
Shi Huai:!!!
This time Shi Huai was really angry and covered his face with both hands: "You are not allowed to look at my child!"
Then he took the opportunity to stand up and threw the clothes hanging on the side to Zhou Jibai: "Hurry up and put on your clothes! Go and take down the portrait you hung!"
"No." Zhou Jibai seemed to be sure that Shi Huai would not dare to peek at him. He leaned casually on the head of the bed, staring at Shi Huai's already red face with a playful look.
Shi Huai's fist hardened: "Do you think I can't do anything to you if you don't wear clothes?"
Zhou Jibai still did not take the next step.
Shi Huai: "Okay! If you have the guts, stay naked all the time! Go to the restaurant naked, eat naked, go to the company naked, go out naked!"
"Hey, that's what you said."
The next moment, Zhou Jibai was about to throw off the quilt and get out of bed.
Shi Huai: "You filthy scoundrel!"
After scolding her, she ran out of the door as nimbly as a rabbit.
Zhou Jibai dressed and washed up quickly, and came out refreshed without keeping Shi Huai waiting for long.
Shi Huai glared at him angrily, "Didn't you say you wanted to censor it?"
Seeing Shi Huai's angry look, Zhou Jibai reached out and pinched her cheek, "I've already told you, I'm incompetent."
Zhou Jibai's cowardly attitude was both despicable and deserved a beating.
She was too lazy to talk to him about it, and instead urged him: "Hurry up and take down the portrait and words."
"Don't you like it? So many people have begged for your calligraphy and paintings but couldn't get them."
Shi Huai's eyes widened. "What about my elder brother?"
"Um."
Zhou Xu, who was carrying little Huanyu and his wife to a restaurant for dinner, suddenly sneezed while walking.
Ruoyu asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Zhou Xu said calmly.
When walking on the way to the restaurant, you will pass by the corridor. Ruoyu noticed at a glance that the decorative paintings in the corridor have changed.
She couldn't help but stop and walked slowly forward to take a closer look.
The paintings in the gallery used to be masterpieces of medieval oil paintings, but what hangs there today is...
Ruoyu took a closer look and couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Zhou, Zhou Xu."
Zhou Xu heard his wife calling him and stopped to look at her: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Xu followed Ruoyu's gaze and was also stunned.
Only Xiao Huanyue showed joy, her eyes curved into the shape of bright crescent moons. She smiled and stretched out her little finger, pointing at the portrait hanging in the center and said, "Aunt Piao Niang~~"
…
Inside the restaurant.
Shi Huai and Zhou Jibai arrived last.
Seeing the different expressions on the faces of the people at the table, Shi Huai knew that they must have discovered something.
After all, the corridor that is the only way to the restaurant is also filled with her portraits of the goddess, as well as the large characters [Bodhisattva Shi Huai].
Shi Huai bit his lower lip and deliberately sat down next to his sister-in-law. Then he whispered in her ear, "Sister-in-law, you have to help me talk to my brother. How could he do such a foolish thing with Zhou Jibai?"
Ruoyu was stunned, "Huh?"
So Shi Huai revealed the truth that the real painter was Zhou Xu.
Ruoyu's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes dimmed even more.
My husband has always been a calm and steady man. How could he possibly help his most dissolute second brother to do evil?
Ruoyu set her sights on Zhou Xu, only to see that Zhou Xu had a gloomy face and was staring at Zhou Jibai with a frown.
Zhou Jibai has always been shameless. No matter how Zhou Xu stared at him, he pretended nothing happened and drank his porridge slowly.
It was Old Lady Zhou who spoke first, "Zhou Jibai, Zhou Xu, both of you, explain it to me clearly."
Zhou Xu let out a long sigh and slowly told what happened last night.
"He only asked me to draw the figure of the goddess, not her face." Zhou Xu's tone became more serious, and he glanced at the young couple across from him.
"Yes, I painted the face. Isn't it handsome? Isn't it lifelike?" As he said this, he did not forget to look at Shi Huai beside him.
If the whole family wasn't here, she really couldn't control herself and slapped Zhou Jibai in the face.
"Nonsense!" Fortunately, the old lady was sensible and scolded with an angry look, "Is this how you treat your wife?"
Seeing that the old lady supported him, Shi Huai raised his chin arrogantly towards Zhou Jibai.
His smug expression seemed to be saying: See? Grandma has spoken, why don’t you apologize to your wife! ?
The next moment, Zhou Jibai leaned over and fiercely kissed Shi Huai on the cheeks, making a popping sound intentionally: "This is how I treat my wife."
Shi Huai was like a steam teapot of boiling water, about to boil over!
Who could have thought that Zhou Jibai would actually kiss me in public?!
In their previous life, apart from that absurd night, the two of them had never even held hands.
Old Mrs. Zhou, Zhou Xu, and Ruoyu were all silent. They looked at each other, no one spoke, and they each ate the food in their bowls.
Only the little Joy in the nanny's arms pointed to her cheek and imitated the "mua" sound Zhou Jibai had just made, saying in a baby voice: "Diudiu."
Shi Huai stepped hard on the tip of Zhou Jibai's shoe under the table.
Zhou Jibai gasped in pain, but did not stop Shi Huai.
Anyway, we kissed each other, so it’s not a loss.
After dinner, Shi Huai personally supervised Zhou Jibai to remove all portraits of her and the ridiculous calligraphy.
Yesterday, Zhou Jibai first asked his elder brother to help him draw a portrait of the goddess, but he didn't let him draw the face. Zhou Jibai painted the face himself, and also wrote the words beside it himself.
He copied dozens of copies and mounted them in exquisite frames. He then called on a few of his friends to come and act as free labor, and worked until dawn to finish the job.
Watching Zhou Jibai carrying a ladder and dismantling the things one by one without any servants' help, Shi Huai snorted, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself."
Zhou Jibai, standing on the ladder, said slowly, "The goddess's true appearance is meant to be revealed to the world. Don't throw dirty water on me. I never thought of keeping it secret."
Shi Huai:!!!
Damn it.
She walked forward, holding the ladder below Zhou Jibai with both hands, and shook it deliberately: "Just say it again!"
The strong shaking made everyone panic. Although Zhou Jibai was fearless, he was not an idiot.
He begged for mercy quickly, "Auntie, I'm wrong. Don't move the ladder. I'll really fall down soon."
Shi Huai didn't do what he wanted. It was a rare opportunity for her to control Zhou Jibai. She imitated Zhou Jibai's casual and nonchalant tone and said, "Your tone isn't sincere enough."
Zhou Jibai's blood vessels were pounding wildly. "How do you want me to be sincere?"
Shi Huai: "It depends on your performance."
So, Zhou Jibai coughed twice to moisten his throat, deliberately lowered his voice an octave, and used a very deep bass to deliberately say greasy Shi Huai: "Bao~Bao~forgive~husband~this~time~ok~"
After listening to it, Shi Huai got goose bumps all over the floor, just like long nails scratching a blackboard. Her whole body was itchy and she felt that her ears were dirty.
"Zhou Jibai!!! You! You! Are you disgusting?"
"Didn't you ask me to apologize to you sincerely?" Zhou Jibai deliberately emphasized the word "sincerely".
Shi Huai really wanted to kick the ladder down.
She raised her legs in front of Zhou Jibai.
Zhou Jibai immediately backed off: "I really know I'm wrong this time, honey, please don't be like this. I apologize, I apologize."
Shi Huai turned his head away: "Hmph."
After tearing down all the calligraphy and paintings, Zhou Jibai asked the servants to put them in a storage room and secretly instructed them not to destroy them.
After explaining all this, he followed Shi Huai and took a walk with her.
"Where are the original painting and calligraphy?" Shi Huai asked.
Zhou Jibai caught up with her in just a few steps. He stood beside her, leaned close to her, and said only two words leisurely: "Secret."
"Haha, I don't really want to know." Shi Huai swung her long hair and hit Zhou Jibai's face directly with it.
The scent of the pear-shaped tent first rushed into Zhou Jibai's nostrils, and he easily ignored the pain of his hair hitting his skin.
Zhou Jibai looked at Shi Huai's thin and frail back, his eyes dimming a little.
None of Shi Huai's subtle changes could escape Zhou Jibai's eyes.
His eyes deepened a little. Shi Huai's change was too sudden.
If one sees clearly that his relatives are as vicious as wolves and tigers and makes a sudden and enlightened decision, there is nothing to be suspicious about.
But Shi Huai chose not to let the Zhou family take action against the mother and daughter. With a heart as pure as a snow lotus, she wanted to let go of the mother and daughter who had committed all kinds of unforgivable sins against her in the name of love.
Zhou Jibai felt that Shi Huai's purpose was far from simple.
Is it a rabbit's tail or a fox's tail hidden behind this?
