Chapter 7 Master Zhou’s scheming is fine~ I can marry you at worst…
The two of them spent about a week examining most of the remaining candidates. Just as Zhou Yangze had collected information, they all either had family problems or had emotional entanglements with others. Du Ningyou was very disappointed with the result.
Finally they arrived at a banquet. Du Ningyou took drinks and cakes and sat down to eat.
Seeing her lack of interest, Zhou Yangze turned away and smiled secretly. When he turned back to her, his expression was serious again. He was very kind and comforted: "Don't be discouraged. The youngest son of the Li family has a gentle temperament and is easy to handle. Although the second son of the An family is not so good-looking, he has a harmonious family, strong work ability, and clean personal relationships. Maybe you can accept these two."
She stuffed a cherry into her mouth and said "hmm, hmm" twice perfunctorily.
Zhou Yangze couldn't help wanting to laugh again, but he tried his best to restrain himself and secretly gave his two friends a thumbs up in his heart.
After a while.
"The youngest son of the Li family has appeared. Would you like to go over and say hello?"
Du Ningyou didn't move at all, "Let's take a look first."
The youngest son of the Li family was handsome and elegant, with rosy lips and white teeth. He was brought by his mother to greet the gentlemen and ladies. He behaved politely and was very popular with the elders.
Du Ningyou looked at him for a while and had a good impression of him, and she became slightly interested. Zhou Yangze was secretly observing her expression from the side. He was not panicked at all about the current situation. He calmly scooped a spoonful of cake and put it into his mouth.
The youngest son of the Li family and his mother stopped nearby after a social event. Because of the pillars blocking the way, they could not see Du Ningyou and the others.
"Chen'er, what do you think of the Song family's youngest daughter?"
"Everything is arranged by my mother."
"That's right. You've learned a lesson. Those women who deliberately approach you aren't really that sincere. They're just attracted by your family background. You need to take a long-term view. Wealth, status, and power are what really matter to you. Romance and stuff are not worth mentioning at all."
"My son knows."
"Alright, I've already asked her to abort the baby this time. Remember to learn this lesson next time."
"Um."
Du Ningyou heard this: "..."
Although such things are not uncommon in the circle, she felt very uncomfortable when she thought that her fiancé had let other girls beat their children.
It was Zhou Yangze's turn to perform. He was first very "surprised", then patted the back of Du Ningyou's hand with an "apologetic" look on his face, "This is my mistake. I didn't even investigate such a big thing. I always thought he was just a mama's boy, but who knew he had such a history!"
"It's okay, I won't watch it anymore, just finish the cake and leave."
"Okay." He picked the cherry on his cake and said, "Come on, don't be unhappy. This is for you."
Du Ningyou mechanically opened his mouth and ate the cherry, not realizing that it was Zhou Yangze's spoon. He looked listless, as if all his energy had been sucked out.
I didn't expect that finding a marriage partner could be so tiring.
Why……
After finishing the cake, they patted their buttocks and prepared to leave. Zhou Yangze put his arm around Du Ningyou's shoulder and comforted him generously, "It's okay. At worst, I can marry you. You see, we have similar interests, and our parents are old acquaintances. We also have older brothers and sisters who are responsible for inheriting the family business. Where can I find others like you..."
Before he could finish, Du Ningyou suddenly stopped. Zhou Yangze followed her gaze and saw an old friend standing in front of him whom he hadn't seen for a long time. The man was dressed in a suit and looked elegant. He was looking at them with a warm and gentle smile.
"Ning You, Zhou Yangze."
Du Ningyou was very surprised to see the newcomer, "Senior! When did you come back?"
"I just got back yesterday. I didn't expect to run into you at the first party after returning."
"Haha, we just came out for a stroll and didn't expect to run into you. Senior, you're finally back, let's get together when you have time."
"Okay, I'm also planning to invite some friends I know to the Fang Family Horse Farm. It's just that there's still some work to do there, so it should be ready next weekend. Do you have time next weekend?"
"No problem, I have plenty of time."
"Haha, it's settled then."
"OK."
Zhou Yangze had been silent just now, but suddenly said, "Senior, don't you even ask about my time?"
The senior is Fang Rongxin, Du Ningyou’s direct senior, and is in the same class as Zhou Yangze. However, every time Zhou Yangze follows Du Ningyou and calls him senior.
Fang Rongxin smiled generously, "I was just about to ask, I heard that you've started working at Zhou's, so it shouldn't affect you on weekends, right? If it's really inconvenient, that's fine too."
"It's convenient. It's very convenient for me. I'll come when Du Ningyou comes."
"Okay, I'll send you a message in advance."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Fang Rongxin had to go out to attend social events, so Du Ningyou and Zhou Yangze left first.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Fang Rongxin smiled meaningfully. He didn't expect that Zhou Yangze was still inseparable from Ning You after so many years.
Du Ningyou had been feeling listless at first, but seeing an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time diverted his attention. He perked up again and excitedly said to Zhou Yangze in the car, "We're going to the horse ranch next week, so we can go see Xiaobai. He's already three years old now!"
Xiaobai was a newborn foal when she went to Fang's horse farm three years ago. Fang Rongxin said that this horse had a connection with her, so she asked her to help choose a name.
Seeing that it was snow-white all over, she simply gave it a name, "Xiaobai", which was easy to remember and a bit playful.
Seeing her so happy, Zhou Yangze asked sinisterly, "Are you happy because you can see Xiaobai, or are you happy because Fang Rongxin is back?"
"Why do you ask? I'm so happy. I haven't seen Xiaobai in months. Senior has been even longer. He went abroad and there's been no news for two years."
Hearing this, Zhou Yangze's face suddenly became long, and he drove silently without saying a word.
Du Ningyou noticed something was wrong and craned his neck to see his expression. "Are you unhappy?"
"No."
"You have."
"No."
"You have it."
When they stopped at a red light, Du Ningyou pinched his chin and turned to look at the rearview mirror, "Look at this stinky face."
Zhou Yangze pushed her hand away, turned his head and ignored her.
Du Ningyou pondered and asked, "You were fine before the senior showed up. Are you unhappy because of him? Did you have a feud before?"
Zhou Yangze looked at her again, thinking back to when he and Du Ningyou were in college. Although they had different majors, they were in the same school, so they could spend most of their time together. But later, due to a professional project, Du Ningyou and Fang Rongxin became closer, and the time they spent together gradually exceeded his. Even after the project ended, they continued to spend more time together. Fang Rongxin always appeared like a close brother, and gradually Du Ningyou would ask Fang Rongxin for help with any academic problems and talk to him when he encountered difficulties in life.
This little fool still thought that Fang Rongxin was an enthusiastic and kind older brother, but she didn't know that he was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing. He helped her and got along with her not because he was kind or liked her, but just treated her as an interesting pet to keep a little fun in his boring life.
The red light began to count down to three seconds. Du Ningyou was still waiting for Zhou Yangze to explain why she was upset, but he just straightened her head and said unhappily, "Don't interfere in matters between men, little girls."
“…”
Your kindness is really taken for granted. If you care about him again next time, he will be like a dog.
Du Ningyou was really tired after a week of investigating potential marriage partners and urgently needed to find a good friend to talk to, so he made an appointment with Jiang Kehuan and Jin Yue the next day.
They met at a bar with a nice environment.
Jiang Kehuan looked at the information Zhou Yangze had collected and couldn't help but praise him, "You know what, this information is quite detailed. Have you confirmed all the information above?"
"It's confirmed. Zhou Yangze and I went to see them with our own eyes. Either the elders in their families are difficult to get along with, or they are emotionally entangled with others. Surprisingly, not a single one can meet my requirements."
Jin Yue also took it and flipped through it, then clicked his tongue twice, "Some people really can't see it."
Jiang Kehuan asked Du Ningyou: "So what are you going to do next?"
Du Ning lazily sank into the sofa, "I don't know, I feel like after looking around, none of them can compare to Zhou Yangze..."
On the other hand, Zhou Yangze was in a depressed mood, so he asked Chen Ziyou and Song Mingyuan to go out for a drink after get off work.
Considering that Young Master Zhou has now turned over a new leaf, they did not choose a club with a large crowd, but instead chose a bar with a bit of style.
Coming out of the elevator, Song Mingyuan walked slowly behind. In front, Chen Ziyou put his arm around Zhou Yangze's shoulder and asked jokingly, "Why do you look so listless, Second Young Master? Is it because the information the brothers gathered for you last time wasn't good enough?"
"It's not that problem, it's that Fang Rongxin is back."
"Fang Rongxin? The gentle and amiable eldest son of the Fang family, praised by everyone? He's indeed a formidable opponent. No wonder the Second Young Master asked us for advice."
By this time they had arrived at the door of the bar, and Zhou Yangze said, "Let's talk inside."
Lifting the door curtain and taking a few steps inside, Chen Ziyou suddenly pointed at the window in surprise, "Look, isn't that Xiao Ningyou and her friends over there?"
Zhou Yangze looked up and saw that it was indeed them. Song Mingyuan said with understanding, "There's a good spot over there. Let's go over there."
The good spot Song Mingyuan mentioned was right next to Du Ningyou and the others. There was a hollow wine cabinet in the middle that just covered their figures.
When they arrived, Jiang Kehuan and Jin Yue were evaluating the marriage candidate's information, so Du Ningyou's last sentence, "I feel like none of them can compare to Zhou Yangze after looking around," was heard by the three of them.
Chen Ziyou patted Zhou Yangze's chest excitedly, "You don't have to worry this time, right?"
Someone put his finger to his lips, pretending to be calm. "Shh, keep your voice down. Listen to what they have to say."
