Chapter 168:
Mr. She leaned her back on Chu Mian's desk, crossed her arms, and said with a smile: "Why are you going to buy it for me?"
Unexpectedly, Chu Mian really nodded: "I have this plan."
Lu Jingshu: "Oh, then you will be disappointed."
Chu Mian: "Why do you say the author doesn't sell it?"
Lu Jingshu: "The author is Lu Siyin."
Chu Mian: "..."
Realizing that he was teased by her, Chu Mian lowered his head and smiled. The look in his eyes when he looked at Lu Jingshu was like the moonlight and the clear lake water with floating light. He said: "You did it on purpose."
Lu Jingshu squinted at the light coming in through the transparent window. Her face was cold and mixed with a hint of laziness. She denied: "You think too much."
After that, she stood up straight, intending to go to the sofa to get the tools needed for acupuncture, but just as she took a step and had not walked out, she felt a force.
She frowned unexpectedly, her head was spinning, and the next moment she was trapped in Chu Mian's arms.
Lu Jingshu had a blank expression on her face and said in a calm voice, "What are you doing?"
Chu Mian bent his lips and his voice seemed to come from his chest, "Guess."
Lu Jingshu put her feet on the floor and held the edge of the desk with one hand, trying to use the force to stand up. However, the man easily resolved it. His wrist was held in his palm, and he weighed it, then measured it with his own fingers. He thought and said, "Well, you've lost weight."
Lu Jingshu clicked her tongue and reminded him, "I still have patients to see."
Chu Mian hummed and said, "No hurry," before coming up.
The next moment, he pinched her chin and covered her. His moist breath made the air hot, making both of them feel a little hot. The only sound in the study was the sound of rapid breathing, which was amplified in each other's ears.
Heat lingered around Lu Jingshu's earlobes, and the red corners of her eyes showed that she was not as calm as she seemed.
I don't know how long it had been, but when Lu Jingshu came out of the study again, there was still a trace of blush on her face. Although she still had no expression, the feeling she gave people was different, with a little more smoke and fire.
She took the things to the room where Cheng Zhibo lived. The moment Hu Ning saw her, he followed her, as if he was afraid that she would do something.
Lu Jingshu was too lazy to pay attention to him, and she examined Cheng Zhibo's body by herself.
The toxicity has been suppressed, and it will not endanger his life for the time being...
We still have to prepare the medicine as soon as possible.
"You have to watch me do acupuncture," Lu Jingshu said to Hu Ning, and her intention to drive him away was obvious.
Hu Ning had no choice but to leave, and reluctantly said, "Then I'll go out."
But he left without closing the door.
Lu Jingshu watched coldly, not paying attention to his little thoughts, but inserting the needles into the acupuncture points over and over again as usual.
...
Here Lu Siyin and Zhou Zipei came to Zhou's house. Unlike Chu's house, it was obviously easier to find the way here, not complicated, and the layout was simple and direct.
The main courtyard in the middle was obviously where Mr. Zhou lived. To the east was the courtyard where Zhou Zipei lived since he was a child, but he moved to Xinghe Tianfu after he became an adult. To the west was where his uncle Zhou Qian lived.
Grandpa Zhou and his late wife had only two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Zhou Zipei's father, and his wife had been childhood sweethearts since they were young. When they grew up, they got engaged and married, and then gave birth to him. However, he died in an accident before he could remember anything. Since then, he lost his parents and was raised by Grandpa Zhou.
The eldest daughter, Zhou Zipei's aunt, is called Zhou Xingyao. She has been living abroad and is a world-famous pianist. She never participates in the twists and turns of the Zhou family's struggles for interests.
The second son is Zhou Qian, who is married to his current wife. On the surface, they are harmonious and respectful to each other, but in fact, this marriage has been a transaction from the beginning. Naturally, there is no love, and they have always lived their own lives in private.
It was an unspoken agreement in the Zhou family that Zhou Qian had a lover. Zhou Zhenyu
was the only son, who had just married Qin Jiao, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, a few years ago. Like his father, the only purpose of the marriage was to bring him the support of the Qin family. He had
a bunch of bad friends outside, and was a famous playboy.
Zhou Qian just turned a blind eye to this. As long as they wanted to hide it, Mr. Zhou would not know it because he was too old.
He would even warn Qin Jiao from time to time not to talk nonsense. The Qin family was not as powerful as the Zhou family, and had to rely on the Zhou family's strong financial resources. The eldest daughter of the Qin family had to swallow her anger.
As for the affairs of the group, the old man sometimes has the will but not the strength, and has already delegated power to Zhou Zipei, but he does not know that Zhou Qian is ambitious and still dreams of the Zhou family being harmonious.
The last time Zhou Zipei threw the assassins in the main courtyard, he also bloodily tore the truth of the Zhou family's discord in front of everyone.
Whether it is the main family or the side branch, they have already lined up and confronted each other.
This is undoubtedly a reminder to the old man Zhou. Even if this matter is resolved and others are blamed, Zhou Qian will have to live with his tail between his legs for a while.
Then, because of Zhou Zipei's secret manipulation, their 100 million project failed. This is undoubtedly a major loss. These have already made Zhou Qian and Zhou Zhenyu hate Zhou Zipei.
He is looking for an opportunity to retaliate.
Even if it was a small matter, it was enough to smear him and make him feel bad.
So, after hearing that Qin Yuqian was wronged, Zhou Zhenyu immediately pulled Qin Jiao to complain to Grandpa Zhou.
"Grandpa, Zhou Zipei really went too far in this matter." Zhou Zhenyu said, "Yuqian was driven out by his people for no reason. Isn't this a slap in my face?" Grandpa
Zhou sat in the main seat without saying a word, with a gloomy face, and he looked really angry.
Qin Jiao stood behind Zhou Zhenyu, with her head down, and she did whatever he said. At first glance, she was a soft-tempered person who was easy to control. Perhaps this was also the reason why Zhou Zhenyu finally chose her for marriage.
Zhou Zhenyu was unreasonable: "Grandpa, everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to check. Even if Zhou Zipei wants to support his girlfriend, he can't let my sister-in-law suffer! Besides, we are all students in school. It's normal to have some conflicts when we are young. But he just threw her out in front of everyone after a disagreement, and asked the Artists Association to put Qin Yuqian on the blacklist. He went too far."
"You can't favor him anymore. If this matter gets out, where will I put my face, Grandpa? I am also your grandson. You have to make the decision for me." Zhou Zhenyu exaggerated and became more and more angry.
Qin Jiao couldn't help frowning in the back, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhou Zhenyu's fierce look, so she could only close her mouth again.
"Okay," Old Man Zhou said, his voice tired: "Everything will be discussed after Zhou Zipei comes."
As he was speaking, Zhou Zipei and Lu Siyin walked in together and heard their conversation clearly.
Lu Siyin smacked his lips, and had to admire Zhou Zhenyu's ability to splash dirty water.
"Grandpa." Zhou Zipei shouted upwards.
Lu Siyin also shouted: "Grandpa Zhou."
Old Man Zhou recognized Lu Siyin, and didn't expect her to come at this time. Thinking that the conversation just now might have been heard by them all, he felt embarrassed as if he had said something bad and was caught by the real person, and his expression was a little unnatural.
"Siyin is here too!" Grandpa Zhou smiled sweetly, then pretended to be angry and looked at Zhou Zipei, complaining: "Stinky boy, you didn't even tell me in advance."
Zhou Zipei said: "I was in a hurry to come back and forgot."
"Forget, forget, forget, you can forget everything," although Grandpa Zhou said this, he didn't mean to blame him. Instead, he felt closer to Zhou Zipei: "Why don't you forget me?"
Zhou Zipei said helplessly: "Grandpa!"
