Chapter 148 The Helpless Adou

"My mother has hands and feet, can't she get a meal for me? Just stay here and be at ease."

Wang Youzhi pulled her towards the dining room.

But Zhi's wife stood there with a stiff step and refused to leave. "How about you stay and eat, and I'll go back and cook for mom and the others."

Wang Youzhi's face was filled with anger. He lowered his voice and patiently advised her, "Don't worry about them. You are not their servant, so why should you serve them? Let's go and have dinner."

Mrs. Zhi staggered as he pulled her, and struggled to free herself from her husband's hand. She was uneasy and determined, "I, I'd better go back, or my mother will be angry with me again."

"How do you go back? You don't know the way!" Wang Youzhi gritted his teeth.

"I..."

The movements of the two attracted everyone's attention. Gu Xiyue turned around and showed an expected expression.

He raised the corner of his lips slightly, as if he was thinking of something, and a trace of sadness flashed across his phoenix eyes.

"What's wrong?" he asked Wang Youzhi.

Wang Youzhi glanced at his stubborn wife and sighed silently.

"Old Gu, your sister-in-law is not feeling well. I'll take her home first, and then I'll come over and have a drink with you later."

He found an excuse and reluctantly pulled his wife away.

Originally, he planned to come over to express his gratitude. In addition to thanking him for getting him out, he also wanted to thank him for taking care of his wife while he was in there.

Who knew she would...

They all come from the countryside, so why is Lao Gu’s wife so graceful and elegant?

After Wang Youzhi left, Gu Xiyue entered the dining room alone. Zhou Nuan had already helped Aunt Li prepare the food, and was surprised to see Gu Xiyue come in alone.

"What about them?"

"Azhi sent his wife back home. Come back later."

Zhou Nuan frowned, "It's already time for dinner, why are you leaving at this time? Don't you like the food we prepared?"

Gu Xiyue sat down calmly, "No, she wants to go back and cook for her mother-in-law and nephew."

Zhou Nuan: “…”

She laughed at herself and said, "It seems that she didn't listen to what I said that day. She is really... a hopeless person."

Qin Yuezhi was curious, "What do you mean by a hopeless person? What happened to his wife?"

Zhou Nuan then told Wang Youzhi's family story again, and at the end she said with sarcasm, "I've never seen such a mother-in-law before. She doesn't treat her daughter-in-law as a human being."

Qin Yuezhi was also very surprised. After thinking for a while, she said with regret, "Your sister was like this before, but Wang Youzhi at least stood on the side of his wife. Your brother-in-law... Oh, let's not talk about it. It's actually my fault."

Influenced by the old society, she always believed that being someone else's daughter-in-law would inevitably lead to being bullied. However, she was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see Zhou Nuan follow their old path, so she was always very nice to Zhou Nuan. However, her own daughter was not so lucky.

It was not until now that she realized that being a daughter-in-law could also lead a free and unbridled life. She should not have let her daughter endure it.

Su Hang, who was sitting next to her, lowered his head to eat, and his facial expression could not be seen clearly.

Gu Xiyue frowned in disapproval.

Not long after, Wang Youzhi came back as expected. His relaxed look had changed and his face looked very serious.

After eating a few bites absentmindedly, he started drinking one glass of wine after another. In the end, he was drunk and started talking nonsense to Gu Xiyue.

"..I do feel a little regretful about not having children, but I have never blamed anyone. I just think that it is my destiny to be childless. Why can't we support each other until old age?"

"Why does she always degrade herself? I am her backer, why doesn't she believe me..."

"Why does she listen to the old woman instead of me? I shouldn't have married her in the first place. It's me who made her suffer. Lao Gu, Lao Gu, please help me..."

Gu Xiyue stared at this good friend silently, muttering, "It would be great if it was you that my sister met."

Wang Youzhi was so drunk that he couldn't go home and had to sleep in the guest room.

Gu Xiyue settled him down before returning to the room. Seeing that Zhou Nuan had already fallen asleep, he did not disturb her. He went to the bathroom quietly to clean himself of the alcohol before coming out.

He carefully lifted the quilt and got into bed, then reached out his long arm and pulled the person into his arms. He sighed with contentment when he felt the warmth emanating from her soft body.

He placed another gentle kiss between her brows, then pulled her into his arms and fell into a deep sleep.

When Zhou Nuan woke up the next day, the man was no longer beside her, but she could hear the faint sounds of noise coming from downstairs.

It sounded like Wang Youzhi was teasing the two children.

She quickly got up, packed up quickly and went downstairs.

Wang Youzhi was indeed still there. Unexpectedly, he was able to hold Gu Xixi in his arms and was now contentedly feeding Gu Xixi complementary food.

That look of doting was even more doting than Gu Xiyue's. It turned out that no matter who the man was, he would inevitably end up being a daughter's slave.

Just when Zhou Nuan was wondering how Wang Youzhi could win Gu Xixi's favor, she saw Gu Xixi holding a beautiful, shiny ornament in her hand.

Zhou Nuan: ...

It was indeed Gu Xixi.

She coughed softly, causing everyone to look up at her.

Qin Yuezhi, "Why are you up so early? Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"

Su Hang glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, seemingly unable to believe his eyes.

Although Gu Xixi didn't say anything, it was obvious that he agreed with what his mother said.

Even Aunt Li said, "Ah, Madam, you got up so early today, you have to take out the breakfast I left for you."

She hurried to the kitchen. Zhou Nuan felt a little embarrassed and glared at Gu Xiyue: Why didn’t he wake her up early when there were guests?

Gu Xiyue raised his eyebrows.

“Well, well, actually I don’t always stay in bed.” Zhou Nuan tried to save face.

"What's the big deal? I wish your sister-in-law could stay in bed." At least it proves that she loves herself enough.

Thinking of his wife, a trace of helplessness flashed across Wang Youzhi's eyes.

Even if his wife looked like Zhou Nuanyicheng, he would be very happy.

"Let's eat." Gu Xiyue said, "Since you got up early today, why don't you come with us to see the company we opened together."

Hmm? Start a company? What company?

Zhou Nuan was confused, but Gu Xiyue didn't say anything else, so she had to suppress her doubts and started eating.

After dinner, they took a car and quickly arrived at the "small company" that Gu Xiyue mentioned.

The area is indeed not large, but it already has the prototype of a future real estate company.

In the middle there is a big sign that reads 'Xi Zhou Real Estate Co., Ltd.'

Zhou Nuan: “?”

When did this guy open a real estate company without telling her? He didn't even reveal a word.

Also, where did he get his resources and connections?

Perhaps the expression on her face was too obvious, Gu Xiyue whispered, "Didn't you say that in the future, housing prices will soar, and the real estate industry will occupy half of the economy?"

Zhou Nuan was confused, "Did I say that? When?"

"While you were asleep."
