In recent years, Liu Meifen has gotten used to Wen Tang's attitude. She said, "No matter what, he is your father, so it is only natural to give him some money. Besides, even if he asked someone for money, he would ask me, not you. His son's eighteenth birthday is next month, and he asked me for money. He might want to have a big party, and he wants to invite you. If you don't want to go, just say a few perfunctory words to him, and don't let him keep calling, it's really annoying!"
When Wen Tang heard this, she exploded instantly. She was not concerned about whether it was her birthday or not. She just raised her voice in vain: "He asked you for money again? You gave it to him?? He never raised me, why should I give him money? Didn't I tell you not to give it? Why didn't you listen?!"
Over the years, Liu Meifen has always had her reasons for this: "He is not afraid of getting his shoes wet. If he wants to make a scene in front of the media, we will suffer the consequences! This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for us. How much more can he have?"
Indeed, I can't give much.
Each time, 100,000, 500,000, or even a million at most, was still not even a fraction of what Liu Meifen spent on maintenance. Liu Meifen had always kept a tight control on money.
But Liu Meifen doesn't bear grudge against the culprit who killed her grandmother. She bears grudge against Wen Tang!
Wen Tang was unwilling to give, not even a cent!
Wen Tang was furious, and was extremely disappointed with Liu Meifen. After Liu Meifen finished speaking, she waited for a long while before slowly saying, "...You will only say this one sentence forever. Am I afraid that he will make a fuss?"
After hanging up the phone, Wen Tang closed his eyes tiredly.
All these years, she allowed these scum to suck blood from her.
She really hates it.
But no matter how much she hated it, in the end she couldn't change it all and had to bow to reality.
Yangyang and Kexin, who were in the same car, looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw Wen Tang like this. Over the years, they had seen Wen Tang and Liu Meifen quarreling, big and small, and they were no longer as helpless as they were at the beginning.
After a long time, Ke Xin spoke tentatively: "Tangtang..."
Hearing her voice, Wen Tang opened his eyes again.
It only took a minute or two to recover her mood. She shook her head and said to them, "I'm fine."
Just when Yangyang and Kexin were about to breathe a sigh of relief, Wen Tang picked up his phone and asked Kexin: "What's the WeChat ID of Gong Yue you just mentioned?"
The author has something to say:
Thank you for your support.
The bonus for the first three chapters is still available today~
Chapter 4
Gong Yue’s WeChat is his mobile phone number.
With the tablet still in her hand, Ke Xin opened it immediately and read it to Wen Tang as soon as he asked.
"1, 3, 8, 5, 0, 6, 6..."
Wen Tang entered the phone number one by one, and when he was done, he clicked search. A business card instantly popped up on the page, with a black avatar and a capital y as the name. The Moments were hidden, visible only to friends.
The y is the capital letter of the Yue in Gong Yue's name, so this should be it. Even the WeChat profile picture of the cool guy is dark and deep, he really knows how to be cool to the extreme.
Wen Tang sent a friend request to the other party. When filling in the reason for the request, she just typed her name and her hand suddenly stopped. In the past, her boyfriends knew who she was in advance, and it took only two days for them to be hooked up by her. It was not difficult. If she concealed her identity and seduced him, wouldn't it be a different kind of happiness?
Wen Tang suddenly felt a sense of evil amusement in her heart, as if it was a small prank, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously. The bad mood that had just fallen to the bottom was slightly lifted by this little episode.
Sure enough, only love is the most effective antidote.
With an idea, Wen Tang deleted his name and retyped two coquettish words: Senior Brother~
That’s right, brother!
Let’s act strategically and act young first.
Generally, artists will not add strangers at will, and they control their address books and friend circles very strictly. But it is different in a different identity. In an entertainment company, if senior and junior colleagues in a relationship want to add each other on WeChat, they will definitely not be rejected.
Wen Tang is certainly not Gong Yue’s real junior sister, and such a close identity would be easily exposed, but Wen Tang has already come up with a full set of countermeasures.
Just waiting for Gong Yue to approve her friend request.
After doing this, Wen Tang returned to her own circle of friends. She posted to her circle of friends quite frequently, most of the time showing off her pet. Anyone who has ever raised a pet knows that it is difficult to keep silent about this matter. The circle of friends is set to be visible for one month. There is no way, young boyfriends are always jealous, and the fact that a boyfriend has many relationships is that it is a headache to bring up old accounts, so she simply keeps it mysterious so that they can't see it at all.
In this month, she has posted five Moments, except for one routine New Year's greeting during the Chinese New Year, and four of them were about her cat.
She loves cats so much that even her WeChat avatar is a picture of her cat.
There are two cats, one is completely black and is called Prince, and the other is completely white and is called Princess. She picked them up on the road. When she picked them up, they were weak, helpless and pitiful, but not like now, with fat necks. Every time Wen Tang came home, they meowed at Wen Tang and were very good at acting like a spoiled child.
When he lived with Liu Meifen before, Liu Meifen was allergic to cat hair and didn't allow him to keep cats, so Wen Tang had to keep the two cats outside. At the end of last year, Wen Tang moved into Linjiang Haoting and finally took the cats in.
After looking through her Moments, I didn't find any problems. They were all pet photos, which fully demonstrated her love without revealing her true identity.
The next step is to wait.
Holding the phone with interest, waiting for the application to be approved.
But one minute, two minutes, three minutes, five minutes passed, and there was still no movement.
It's way too long.
Why did it take so long for the boyfriends that Ke Xin added her in the past to approve their friend requests?
It must be the middle of the night, and the cool guy has already gone to bed.
Wen Tang firmly believed that she had failed at the first hurdle of adding friends, but as time went by and she looked at the silent phone, Wen Tang's expectations gradually faded.
She had only met Gong Yue once, and actually didn't have any special feelings about him. The only difference between him and others was that the kid was very courageous and looked arrogant and cool.
Inspired by Liu Meifen and Wen Haifeng, I was indeed a little impulsive tonight.
Thinking of this, the last bit of expectation in my heart that came from a bad taste disappeared completely.
Suddenly I felt very bored.
Excitement comes quickly and goes even faster.
Throwing the phone to Ke Xin again, Wen Tang slumped back in his seat, no longer paying any attention to whether the friend request was accepted.
-
At seven o'clock in the morning, Zhou Jingyu was awakened by a knock on the door.
He had just flown back from France last night, and went to sleep as soon as he got back to the Zhou family's old house. He slept from eight o'clock in the evening until dawn.
The knocking on the door was neither fast nor slow, but extremely persistent, as if it would not stop without Zhou Jingyu's response.
"What's up?"
Zhou Jingyu asked. He never spoke hurriedly or slowly, and his voice was clear and melodious like spring water.
The person knocking on the door was a servant of the Zhou family. After hearing Zhou Jingyu's voice, he replied, "Master, Madam asked you to go downstairs for breakfast. The master and the madam are waiting for you in the dining room."
"good."
Zhou Jingyu sat up from the bed. He was used to sleeping naked. His skin was white and never tanned no matter how much he was exposed to the sun. He inherited this from his mother. As a result of years of fitness, his chest was firm and had no excess fat. He could vaguely see six muscles on his waist and abdomen.
At 7:10, Zhou Jingyu appeared in the restaurant of the old house.
Just as the servant said, Zhou Jiayi and Yue Lin had been waiting in the breakfast room for a long time.
"Father, Mother."
Zhou Jingyu called out.
In front of Zhou Jingyu, Zhou Jiayi liked to put on airs. He frowned and said, "Why did you get up just now? Don't you know what time it is? Do you know how long we have been waiting for you to have breakfast?"
Yue Lin hurriedly pulled his sleeve and whispered, "Jingyu just came back from a business trip abroad. He worked so hard for so many days, but he just slept a little longer. What do you think he did?"
Zhou Jiayi snorted coldly and said, "I don't care about him. He doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"
Zhou Jiayi looked at his son, who was tall and straight, and had perfectly inherited his mother's appearance, with thin eyebrows and a handsome appearance.
But I don’t know who I inherited my personality from.
He always looks calm and composed, and never frowns even if the sky falls. It seems that nothing can stir up his emotions, and no one can figure him out.
Little did he know that the more he did so, the more angry Zhou Jiayi became.
His father, who was known as a business legend, looked down on him since he was a child. Now he is waiting to die in a hospital bed and he still refuses to hand over the company to him. His son is just like Zhou Donghai and doesn't take him seriously at all. It turns out that the grandson raised by the old man looks just like the old man!
This matter cannot be thought about too much. Zhou Jiayi became more and more annoyed the more he thought about it. He suddenly stood up from his seat and wanted to point at Zhou Jingyu's nose and curse him. Seeing this, Yue Lin quickly hugged his arms and pulled him back to his seat.
"What's wrong? Why are you so irritable so early in the morning? Sit down, everyone! Eat breakfast! It's getting cold!"
As he said this, he invited Zhou Jingyu to sit down with him.
From beginning to end, Zhou Jingyu didn't say a word to Zhou Jiayi.
Zhou Jiayi was only his biological father to him. Apart from that blood relationship, he had learned not to care about anything else when he was a minor.
Yue Lin asked Zhou Jingyu to sit down, but Zhou Jingyu did not move. He had no intention of eating with them.
He said calmly to the two people in front of him: "No, I'm going to the nursing home soon, and I will eat alone with grandpa later."
Now, even Yue Lin's face became stiff and she could no longer smile.
She had something important to discuss with Zhou Jingyu at the dinner table today. It was rare for Zhou Jingyu to come back, and if she let him leave like this, she didn't know when he would come back next time.
"This..." She wanted to persuade them to stay, but Zhou Jingyu had already turned around. After taking two steps, he remembered that there was one thing he hadn't said yet, so he stopped and said to them, "I have found a suitable place to live, so I won't bother you anymore. I will come back in a few days to pack my things and move out."
The words sounded unusually distant and indifferent, and were not meant to solicit opinions but to inform.
Even though Zhou Jiayi was jumping up and down in anger at the dinner table, Zhou Jingyu remained as calm as usual, with no ripples in his heart. He just walked further and further away.
Zhou Jiayi's youngest son Zhou Jingxi set three alarms for himself because he knew Zhou Jingyu had returned home last night. He resisted the urge to stay in bed and got up excitedly in the morning, but when he arrived at the restaurant, he still couldn't see Zhou Jingyu. He only saw Zhou Jiayi, who was so angry that he jumped up and down, and Yue Lin, who kept trying to comfort him.
Zhou Jingxi didn't see Zhou Jingyu, so he asked hurriedly, "Where's my brother?"
This sentence undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Zhou Jiayi was furious. His eldest son was disobedient and his youngest son was caught in the crossfire. He couldn't control his eldest son, so he could only vent his anger on his youngest son. He angrily said, "Your brother, your brother! Look at how many times he has talked to you since he came back from abroad? He doesn't even regard you as his brother, so why are you still thinking about him? Are you stupid?"
Seeing Zhou Jingxi's messy clothes and several big holes in his pants, he was so angry that he scolded again: "Look at you, you are so sloppy, you don't know how to stand or sit properly, and you only know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. If you were more motivated, I wouldn't have to endure his nonsense!"
Zhou Jingxi was scolded for no apparent reason. He turned to Yue Lin, who usually doted on him, and pointed at Zhou Jiayi and asked in a low voice: "…Hey, did you take the wrong medicine when you got up this morning?"
He was very heartless. Yue Lin was amused by him and wanted to laugh, but had to hold it back.
Yue Lin patted his shoulder gently and signaled him with her eyes to stop being naughty. Zhou Jingyu was sent to France by the old man at the age of 18 and had not returned for ten years. Yue Lin and everyone else thought that the old man had completely given up on Zhou Jingyu. With this attitude, Yue Lin tried her best to prevent Zhou Jiayi from having any contact with Zhou Jingyu during the ten years Zhou Jingyu was in France. But unexpectedly, ten years later, the old man was seriously ill and dying. Without saying a word, he took Zhou Jingyu back again and handed over the huge family business to Zhou Jingyu, catching everyone off guard.
It’s not a bad thing to let Zhou Jingxi have more contact with Zhou Jingyu now.
Yue Lin waved at Zhou Jingxi. Zhou Jingxi came out of Yue Lin's belly. The mother and son were connected by heart. He understood what she meant in an instant and leaned over to listen. Under Zhou Jiayi's nose, Yue Lin whispered in Zhou Jingxi's ear: "Your brother just left. He went to have breakfast with your grandfather."
Zhou Jingxi was immediately disappointed. There was no way he would chase after his grandfather, even if it was his most beloved brother. He had been naughty and mischievous since he was a child, but he was in awe of his grandfather from the bottom of his heart. As long as his grandfather was around, he would not dare to say a word.
