Chapter 102 Do you think there is really Santa Claus in this world?
"Haha! You say one thing to one person and another to another! When you were in school, you went to and from school with Lu Yi, bought her breakfast, and gave her extra lessons. Oh, and you even wrote her a love letter! I saw it all with my own eyes!"
"How come I didn't know that I gave Lu Yi a love letter? I only wrote to you!"
"You're just lying because you're older?!" Zhao Yang cursed until his entire body felt hot and burning, like he was about to burst into flames. "How come I didn't know you sent me a love letter?"
"Don't take advantage of your age and pretend you have Alzheimer's and have a bad memory! How come I haven't sent you a love letter?!"
Zhou Baichen was driven crazy by Zhao Yang's words, and he glanced at the children next to him.
There were some things he found difficult to say and he was embarrassed to say them all in front of the children.
Forget it! I’m already an old man in my 50s, what’s the point of having face!
"You forgot that Lu Yi was your deskmate in high school."
Zhao Yang became even more angry, gritting his teeth and saying, "Just because she's my deskmate, I know everything about what you and her are doing behind my back."
During the summer vacation when university was about to start, Zhou Baichen confessed his love to himself.
Zhao Yang always told herself not to dwell on past relationships. Even if Zhou Baichen and Lu Yi had been in a relationship before, it didn't matter. At least they were together now.
Moreover, they were married and had children. Therefore, Zhao Yang never mentioned Lu Yi in front of Zhou Baichen, and was also very tactful not to ask about Zhou Baichen and Lu Yi's past.
But two days ago, when he saw Zhou Baichen and Lu Yi standing together talking and laughing, the past memories instantly came back to his mind, and Zhao Yang was furious.
"If I hadn't been pregnant with Zhou Xu back then, I'm afraid you and Lu Yi would have been married long ago, right?"
Zhou Baichen frowned: "How is that possible!"
"You're still quibbling?!" Zhao Yang almost jumped up and stood on the table to scold Zhou Baichen.
Zhou Baichen felt a little tired and didn't want to talk anymore.
Shi Huai looked at the two elders who were both very angry, and his mind recalled the banquet that Zhou Baichen and Zhao Yang attended after the New Year.
Zhao Yang lost all face at the banquet and officially separated from Zhou Baichen.
Could it be related to what they are arguing about now?
But regardless of whether they are related or not, it is not a good idea to see this old couple quarreling all the time.
Neither of them opened their mouths to explain, they just kept arguing. It's not okay that things have been hidden for so many years without any reconciliation.
Zhao Yang and Zhou Baichen sat in their respective seats, both of them were furious, and neither of them looked at each other.
Shi Huai sighed softly, "Dad, what Mom said just now, you really don't have a clean relationship with that Aunt Lu."
Zhou Baichen clenched his fists.
Good, good, good! He's the only outsider in this family! No one trusts him, right?
"You don't believe me?"
Shi Huai tilted his head: "You didn't explain, why should we believe you?"
Zhou Baichen was choked by Shi Huai's words.
Ruoyu on the side couldn't help but laugh, but didn't dare laugh out loud.
Zhao Yang rolled his eyes at Zhou Bochen speechlessly, "See? The public's eyes are sharp! They are all children, and they speak honestly!"
Zhao Yang looked back at Shi Huai and raised her eyebrows, revealing a gratified expression, as if saying to Shi Huai, "You are worthy of being my daughter."
Seeing that Zhao Yang was in a much better mood, Shi Huai smiled and said, "Then Mom, no matter what Dad says, are you willing to believe him?"
As Shi Huai finished speaking, Zhao Yang pondered for a moment, then without hesitation, he raised his voice and said, "Let's see what he says."
As the judge, Shi Huai glanced at the silent Zhou Baichen and said, "Dad, if you don't explain yourself clearly, we'll leave first. After all, everyone's time is precious."
Zhou Xu stood up and said, "Well, Ruoyu and I still have to accompany Huanyu, so you two should handle your own affairs."
Seeing his eldest son leaving with his family, Zhou Baichen pinched his brows and said earnestly, "Have you really forgotten?"
Zhao Yang: "? What did I forget?"
"Back before the Lu family fell into decline, Lu Yi lived across from me. We lived in the same direction, so even if we didn't go to school together, we would have run into each other. And you sat at the same table with her back then. I was pursuing you and wanted to know what you liked, so I helped her with her lessons and brought her breakfast. As for the love letter, I only gave it to you once. I left it under your desk during your class's physical education class. How did it become something I wrote to Lu Yi?"
Zhaoyang:? ? ? ?
She had always thought that Zhou Bochen and she disliked each other when they were young. She never expected that he had been planning this for a long time and had fallen in love with her when they were still in school?
Shi Huai and Ruo Yu both showed a look of astonishment on their faces.
Zhou Xu raised his eyebrows slightly.
Zhao Yang blinked in disbelief, pointed at himself, and then pointed at Zhou Baichen.
"You, why didn't you tell me?"
"Whether you tell me or not, you are mine anyway." Zhou Baichen scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly.
"Do you think the gifts placed on your desk every day appear out of thin air?"
"Do you think there is really a Santa Claus in this world?"
"You go out to play in the middle of the night. Do you really think the world is safe and there are no bad people?"
"When it snows in winter, the snowman in your yard is never made by my father-in-law."
"You didn't do well on the exam. Do you really think the collection of wrong answers was given to you by some kind person?"
Zhao Yang was stunned and felt a little at a loss for a moment.
They are an old couple, and suddenly this happened today.
Only then did Zhao Yang realize that Zhou Baichen had always liked her since he was young, but he had never shown it.
If it weren't for the quarrels in the past few days and Shi Huai's words, Zhou Baichen actually had no intention of letting Zhao Yang know that he had a crush on her.
Their two eldest children are both 28 years old this year, and both of them are grandparents.
He had been a reserved person since he was young, never expressing his feelings. His love for Zhao Yang was his own business, and he wished only he knew about his secret crush on her and the silent devotion behind her.
Zhao Yang doesn't need to know.
The three of them sneaked out of the restaurant and let the old couple talk alone so that they would no longer be the third wheel.
Huanyu is about to celebrate her second birthday. Zhou Xu and Ruoyu have been very busy these past few days, preparing for the birthday party, hoping to give Huanyu a complete and regret-free childhood.
Shi Huai did not stay with Ruoyu any longer and returned to his residence.
After asking the servants again, I learned that Zhou Ji had gone out before dawn, but no one knew where the second young master had gone.
She took out her cell phone to send a message to Zhou Jibai, and then she saw the message Zhou Jibai sent her.
[Big Bad Dog]: I have something urgent to do today, so I will be home late.
Shi Huai lowered her eyes, not knowing if it was due to pregnancy hormones, but she tended to overthink whenever Zhou Jibai was not around.
[Zhizhi]: abandon wife and children.
【枝枝】：[thumbs-up.jpg]
After sending these messages, Shi Huai didn't contact him again. He lay alone in bed, thinking about it.
What happened?
Why not tell her?
Left without any warning?
Shi Huai let out a long sigh, feeling a little resentful of Zhou Jibai for leaving without saying goodbye.
At least now we can confirm that he is safe.
It's still early and Shi Huai is a little bored being stuck at home alone.
That damn girl Song Xuwen is still pursuing true love in Guangnan.
My sister-in-law and brother are busy preparing a happy birthday party.
It was so cold that she didn't even have anyone to go shopping with.
Shi Huai found the quarrel between her parents-in-law in the restaurant sweet and funny.
The two had been together for almost thirty years and were already grandparents. It was only then that Zhao Yang realized that Zhou Bochen had always had a crush on her.
When Shi Huai thought of this, the corners of his lips curled up and his face became sore from smiling.
She couldn't help but think of Zhou Jibai again.
Could it be that Zhou Jibai didn’t have someone he liked when he was young?
Shi Huai held his chin and rubbed his cheeks, which were a little sore from smiling.
The last time I went to Guangnan, Zhou Jibai seemed to want to confess something to me...
Shi Huai racked his brains to recall.
Earlier on the yacht, Zhou Jibai said that he first met me in Guangnan five years ago.
She was only sixteen years old at the time, her father had just passed away, and she became an orphan.
I escaped from the city of Changjing and returned to Guangnan to be with my grandmother.
At that time, I did some part-time modeling work to earn some pocket money, and my advertising photos were indeed displayed on the Guangnan Tower.
But she was sure that Zhou Jibai would never be the kind of person who would fall in love with her forever just because he accidentally glanced at a photo.
Zhou Jibai must be hiding something from me.
