Chapter 248 Drunk
Zhou Yunshu held Kang Kang in her right hand and Xixi in her left hand. As she watched the carriage leave in the drizzling rain, she was a little confused about what was real and what was fake.
So many things have happened in the past few days, so many that she is confused and doubts whether what she is doing is right.
In other words, now that the two of them have come this far, do the grandmothers believe that they and Ji Sheng have really broken up?
Zhou Yunshu discovered that something was wrong when Lin Fuyan took the initiative to admit that he was poisoned and tried to persuade her to kill Ji Sheng.
But the incident happened suddenly, and Lin Fuyan went to find his grandmother after he finished speaking. She didn't have the chance to find her grandmother and ask her clearly whether what Lin Fuyan had just said to her was Lin Fuyan's own intention or her grandmother's intention.
The answer, which she did not have time to verify, was delivered to her by Ji Sheng.
The family really wanted to control Ji Sheng through Zhou Yunshu and the children. After Ji Sheng found out, he decisively let Zhou Yunshu make a choice.
This was not the first time that Ji Sheng asked Zhou Yunshu to make a choice, but it was the most direct and the one that caught her least prepared.
Sometimes, both parties can understand each other just by looking at each other.
What Ji Sheng said seemed true, but it made his position clear.
And the two words he wrote on Zhou Yunshu's palm were: three years.
It is true that Zhou Yunshu is the current head of the Zhou family, but she is not the head with real power. The person behind the scenes has always been Ji Mingzhu, and Zhou Yunshu is more like a puppet in Ji Mingzhu's hands.
If Zhou Yunshu can replace Ji Mingzhu as the real head of the Zhou family three years later, then he will send the child back. If not, then Zhou Yunshu loses.
If you lose...
Zhou Yunshu thought of Ji Sheng's words to her and let out a breath.
"Mother."
Xixi looked up at Zhou Yunshu, smiled and said in a baby voice, "Xixi, stay with mother."
Zhou Yunshu patted Xixi's little head, and when she turned around and saw Nanny Wang beside Chuwu, she smiled tiredly and said, "Nanny, is dinner ready?"
Nanny Wang looked at Zhou Yunshu with a hint of heartache in her eyes. She stepped forward and wanted to take Kang Kang from Zhou Yunshu's arms, but Zhou Yunshu took a step back and refused.
"I want to hold it myself." There was a hint of coldness in Zhou Yunshu's voice.
Nanny Wang didn't think much about it. After all, the twins had just been forced to separate because of their parents' breakup, so it was normal for Zhou Yunshu to be so nervous about Kang Kang.
Xixi looked at her mother, then at Nanny Wang in front of her. She took the initiative to stretch out her little hand and looked up at Nanny Wang and said sweetly, "Nanny, hold Xixi's hand!"
Nanny Wang smiled and bent down to hold Xixi's outstretched hand, saying, "Okay, Nanny will hold Xixi's hand."
Zhou Yunshu looked at the smile on her daughter's face, took a deep breath and sorted herself out.
"Mammy, let's go."
"Okay, let's go."
The Zhou family didn't ask much about Ji Sheng's departure. Zhou Yunshu just said to Li Jialan at the dinner table, "Mom, Xixi and Kangkang will sleep with me tonight."
Li Jialan thought of Pingping being taken away by Ji Sheng. She felt a little sad when she saw her daughter. She wanted to say something, but in the end she just said, "Do you want your mother to accompany you tonight?"
Zhou Yunshu smiled and shook her head, "I'm not a child anymore."
As she spoke, she looked at Lin Fuyan, who was sitting diagonally across from her, and said, "Brother Fuyan, you've come all the way here, so I have to toast you a glass anyway."
As she spoke, Zhou Yunshu poured herself a glass of wine, stood up and raised her glass to Lin Fuyan.
Lin Fuyan looked at Zhou Yunshu with a smile on her face and stood up with his wine glass.
It was originally one cup, then two cups. By the third cup, the family had already noticed that Zhou Yunshu was in a bad mood. After the fourth cup, Ji Mingzhu put down her chopsticks. After the fifth cup, she directly asked Nanny Wang next to her to take away Zhou Yunshu's cup.
"Grandma, I'm so happy today!"
Ji Mingzhu looked at Zhou Yunshu, who was acting coquettishly to him with her cheek in her hands and her eyes were hazy. She said to Chunque and Dongge, who were staring at their master behind her, "Your master is drunk. Take her back to rest."
Chunque nodded repeatedly, stepped forward, held Zhou Yunshu's arm and said, "Master, let's go back and rest."
"I'm not drunk." Zhou Yunshu shook her head, took the wine in front of Wu Gui and drank it all again.
Wu Gui looked at Zhou Yunshu worriedly, "Yunshu, if you're unhappy..."
Zhou Yunshu smiled at Wu Gui and said, "Second sister-in-law, I'm happy."
"Yun Shu, you..."
"Take her back."
When Ji Mingzhu spoke again, Chunque no longer cared about what her master was doing. She simply picked up Zhou Yunshu by the waist and walked towards her room.
After the drunk Zhou Yunshu left, there was no sound at the table except Li Jialan who was crying silently. Even the children in the family understood the instructions and snuggled up to their parents with their mouths shut.
Xixi put down the chopsticks in her hand and said to Li Jialan, who was crying silently beside her, "Grandma, don't cry."
She stepped down from the stool with her short legs and said to Ji Mingzhu, who was sitting in the main seat, in a baby voice, "Grandpa, I'm going to accompany mother."
Ji Mingzhu nodded.
Xixi turned to Dongge beside her and said, "Auntie Dongge, bring Kang Kang over here."
Dong Ge looked at the young master who was so young but could arrange things in an orderly manner, nodded, took Kang Kang from the wet nurse's arms, and then followed Xixi to Zhou Yunshu's residence.
…
Zhou Yunshu, who was drunk and a little noisy, calmed down when Chunque carried her to the bed.
"master?"
Chunque half-knelt beside the bed, looking at Zhou Yunshu who was sitting on the bed without saying a word. She felt that she looked even more frightening now than when she was drunk just now.
"Mother!"
Xixi originally left the cafeteria step by step in a well-behaved manner like a lady from a wealthy family, but after entering her own house, she immediately ran to the dormitory.
When he saw Zhou Yunshu sitting on the bed, he rushed onto the bed like a little cannonball and nestled in Zhou Yunshu's arms.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Xixi in her arms, smiled and kissed her cheek. There was no trace of drunkenness on her face at this moment.
Dong Ge looked at the intimate appearance of Zhou Yunshu and her daughter, and gently placed Kang Kang on the bed.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Chunque and Dongge standing by the window and asked softly, "Do you know who your master is?"
Chunque said without thinking: "Of course it's you."
Dong Ge heard a hidden meaning and said, "Dong Ge's master is only you."
Zhou Yunshu nodded, "Remember what you said."
"Go and guard it. I want to have a good rest tonight."
"yes."
After Chunque and Dongge left the dormitory, only Zhou Yunshu, her mother and son were left in the room.
Zhou Yunshu gently carried the sleeping Kang Kang to the innermost side of the bed, and then held Xixi in her arms.
Xixi looked at her mother with some worry and said, "Mom, don't cry. Xixi will be heartbroken."
Zhou Yunshu held Xixi's soft little body in her arms and said, "Mom, just be sad for one night, okay?"
Xixi thought about it and nodded, "Mom, Dad and I promised that I would protect you and your brother."
When Zhou Yunshu heard Xixi calling her daddy, she slowly took her little hand into her own.
"Did your father tell you why he took Pingping away?"
Before Ji Sheng left, he talked to Xixi alone for half an hour.
Xixi nodded and said with a smile: "Daddy said he made a bet with Mom and asked me who would win."
"Who do you think will win then?"
"Mother!"
"Why?" Zhou Yunshu asked Xixi, who trusted her very much.
In the scene she and Ji Sheng performed in the main room in the front yard, she was almost completely crushed by Ji Sheng with her impromptu performance. I just don't know whether her helpless look at that time was reported to her grandmother by Chu San.
Xixi thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, but mother will win anyway."
Zhou Yunshu smiled and kissed Xixi's little face, then sighed softly and said, "You can't tell anyone about this except mother, understand?"
Xixi nodded seriously, "Don't tell anyone."
"What if someone asks?"
"Daddy told me to be obedient."
Zhou Yunshu thought about it and decided that Xixi's answer was fine. "What if someone asks me?"
"Ask me if I said anything?"
Xixi looked at Zhou Yunshu, thought for a moment and said, "Mother is sad and doesn't say anything."
Zhou Yunshu looked at Xixi and nodded, "That's right."
"Mom is very sad."
She was saddened by her family's schemes against her and her children, and also by what Ji Sheng said in the main room in the front yard.
What Ji Sheng said was so true that it really made her doubt whether it was his true words.
