Chapter 16: It is said that two people cannot sleep in the same bed.
The Zhou family took timely action to suppress the hot search, and grandma and sister-in-law took turns to comfort and accompany her, telling her that they believed in Shi Huai's character.
Late nights can easily lead to melancholic self-reflection.
Shi Huai lay flat on the bed looking at the ceiling, his mind full of thoughts about dinner. His grandmother patted his hands gently to calm himself down.
"I've seen that video online. It's pure nonsense!" Old Mrs. Zhou patted her back and said solemnly, "Don't let those evil-hearted people affect your emotions. Don't shed tears for those who don't deserve it. The Zhou family will protect you. Just keep your heart at ease."
Ruoyu was a little angry at first that she didn't fight back, but in the end she didn't say anything and kept chatting with her to divert her attention.
Shi Huai has lived a second life and has a strong heart. He won't feel sad or grief for Tang Xiaoling and the others!
She was planning to deliver the heaviest blow yet. The more she acted weak and indifferent in the early stages, the more likely they would let down their guard and not suspect anything. The more she could catch them off guard and send them crashing to the ground with serious injuries.
Grandma and sister-in-law are truly good to me. I must have been wronged in my previous life and even treated them extremely badly.
The regret and shame made Shi Huai feel uncomfortable and depressed, and tears kept welling up in his eyes.
She touched the empty sheets beside her and sighed softly.
Zhou Jibai still didn't go home tonight.
Suddenly, I really want to see Zhou Jibai.
Shi Huai knew where Zhou Jibai was.
Shi Huai has been a person of action since she was young. She always keeps her word and does whatever she thinks of.
As soon as she thought of Zhou Jibai, she immediately got dressed and got up.
Zhou Jibai is now at Shengque Bar.
"Zhou Er, I helped you with such a big favor today, how are you going to thank me?" He Yunxun put his arm around Zhou Jibai's shoulders.
He Yunxun's family owns an entertainment media company. At that time, it was He Yunxun who first discovered the news about Shi Huai and sent it to Zhou Jibai.
Zhou Jibai paid He Yunxun to completely ban all negative news about Shi Huai. He also sued all the media outlets that spread negative articles and the marketing accounts that distorted the truth.
The PR process was swift, and before the news could even begin to spread on social media, it was completely blocked. However, it still spread within the industry, and now everyone in the industry knew that Zhou Jibai's wife was a vicious woman.
Zhou Jibai took a sip of the iced liquor in his glass slowly and said, "I'll treat you to a meal tomorrow."
Ling Qingyu, who was sitting opposite Zhou Jibai, sighed and couldn't help but laugh at this so-called henpecked husband: "You do so much for your wife, but you never thought about letting her know?"
These friends really couldn't understand why the second young master of the Zhou family, who was ignorant and unruly in the past, turned out to be a henpecked husband after getting married.
He was a coward and allowed his wife to beat and scold him, and he also developed the virtue of doing good deeds without leaving a name.
He gave so much to his wife, but he never revealed a single cent.
On the surface, his brothers praised him as a man of great resilience.
In fact, I was secretly almost speechless about Zhou Jibai's behavior. It would be a big loss for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles not to ask him to act in two episodes.
"She doesn't need to know." Zhou Jibai responded calmly.
"Yo yo yo, she doesn't need to know~"
"Where can I get the sister-in-law experience card? I also want to be protected by our brother Zhou Er as lovingly as him."
"Wow~~Brother Jibai is so manly and handsome~~I'm so moved by you that I'm about to cry." Ling Qingyu moved closer to Zhou Jibai and pretended to be shy.
Zhou Jibai slapped Ling Qingyu, who was standing next to him, and pushed her aside: "Isn't that disgusting?"
"Well, doing things for your sister-in-law is affectionate. Are your brothers praising you disgusting?" Ling Qingyu sneered, "It's really obvious whether you love or not."
Zhou Jibai, the heartless one, didn't take their brotherhood performance tonight seriously. "If you can speak with your mouth, don't use other parts of your body."
Realizing that Zhou Jibai had more to say, many people at the table began to laugh out loud.
Ling Qingyu: "...I'm talking to you and I'm a dog."
"I'm allergic to dog hair and can't keep a dog. I'm taking back the promise." Zhou Jibai shrugged, and seeing that the wine in the glass was empty, he casually placed the glass on the table in front of him.
Ling Qingyu couldn't fight back against this venomous snake, so he simply shut his mouth, moved sullenly towards the others, and rolled his eyes at Zhou Jibai with his back to him.
Just when the atmosphere was joyful and cheerful, a call of "brother-in-law" broke the peace.
Hearing the sweet and delicate voice calling out the word "brother-in-law", everyone present turned their heads to look at the source of the voice.
Their eyes all fell on a woman who walked in front of Zhou Jibai.
Tang Qiaoguo wore a long black dress with a white halter top, pretending to be pure and innocent. Her pure appearance was totally out of place in the bar. It was indeed easy to attract people's attention.
But what kind of beauties and tricks haven't these second-generation rich kids seen? Can't they tell this little girl is just pretending to be innocent and trying to fish for fish?!
Tang Qiaoguo's appearance was at best standard, with delicate features. But the word "brother-in-law" really shocked them.
Several people also cast mocking glances at Zhou Jibai.
"Brother-in-law? Who is she, Ji Bai?"
Zhou Jibai lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at Tang Qiaoguo who was holding a wine glass like a waiter.
He chuckled and responded to several people: "My wife's stepsister is considered my sister-in-law."
Tang Qiaoguo was overjoyed when she heard Zhou Jibai take the initiative to admit their relationship.
She pretended to be innocent and said aggrievedly, "Brother-in-law, this is my first time in a bar. My friends are all bad. They bully me and force me to drink. I lost a game of truth or dare with them, so they asked me to come and ask if we can share a table here."
They thought Zhou Jibai would refuse, but who knew that Zhou Jibai would agree directly and readily.
"Can."
He Yunxun widened his eyes in disbelief and secretly bumped Zhou Jibai's elbow.
Zhou Jibai's sister-in-law was no pushover; he'd seen it all clearly at Yuechun that day. Her friends at the table were all the fake socialites at Yuechun who had given his sister-in-law such a hard time.
Zhou Jibai disagreed and ignored He Yunxun's suggestion.
Seeing Zhou Jibai agreed, Tang Qiaoguo smiled brightly, winking at everyone in a cheerful and cute manner: "Thank you, brother-in-law! I'll have them all come over right away! They're all gorgeous, and it won't be in vain for your drinks."
Zhou Jibai didn't even glance at her. The lighting was too dim and dazzling. No one could tell the changes in Zhou Jibai's expression without looking closely.
He was gloomy and disgusted, and accepting Tang Qiaoguo's coquettishness was as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
Seeing Tang Qiaoguo go to her booth to call for help, He Yunxun was puzzled: "Have you forgotten how that idiot and her friends embarrassed your sister-in-law that day?"
"After all, my sister-in-law is pregnant now. You can quarrel or have a cold war. This is a bit too much."
Seeing He Yunxun sternly rebuking him, Zhou Jibai's eyes flashed with cunning: "Do me a favor."
"Don't tell me you want me to be your brother-in-law. I'm not that stupid."
"Call a few people and listen to my instructions." Zhou Jibai leaned close to He Yunxun's ear and told him his entire plan.
After hearing this, He Yunxun's mouth twitched wildly: "As they say, two kinds of people can sleep in the same bed."
After explaining the matter to He Yunxun, Zhou Jibai thought about going back to the mansion to sleep. After all, he had to wait until tomorrow for Shi Huai's stepmother's birthday party before returning to the manor.
As soon as he stood up, Tang Qiaoguo came over with a group of people.
