Chapter 9: Difficulty in Relationships
"Wanwan, what are you doing?"
Zhou Zechuan's voice came from behind. Ji Wan lowered his eyes, a hint of sadness still on his face.
"It's okay, I just miss my family a little bit."
Zhou Zechuan glanced at the photo frame in Ji Wan's hand, and when his eyes fell on someone, his gaze darkened.
"Mom and Dad don't want you to be sad. It's getting late, so go to bed."
Ji Wan nodded, put down the photo frame and stood up.
"Wanwan." Zhou Zechuan called her again. Ji Wan turned around with a puzzled look on her face.
Zhou Zechuan came over, with the lingering smell of alcohol on him.
"Wanwan, don't go to that kind of banquet in the future. You are weak and it's cold now, so it's better not to go out. If you need anything, just tell the servants."
"Okay, I understand."
Ji Wan responded with a sweet smile, seeing through Zhou Zechuan's hypocrisy clearly.
I said so much just because I don’t want her to show up in public again.
Zhou Zechuan gave Ji Wan a kiss, then turned and left. His steps were unsteady as he left, and he was obviously a little drunk.
After everyone left, Ji Wan rushed into the bathroom and started washing up, especially the cheek that had just been kissed. He wished he could wash it all off.
She felt nauseous, as if she had eaten a dead fly, and couldn't help but shiver all over.
When she was sleeping at night, Ji Wan couldn't help but have a nightmare. When she woke up the next day, she said that she should go and get a talisman to prevent Zhou Zechuan from passing the bad luck to her.
…
A grand feast of the sea and sky.
A familiar booth and familiar people. Chi Wenyan was sitting on a leather sofa, with champagne in his left hand and a slender beauty in his right hand.
The beautiful woman narrowed her slender fox eyes, leaned on the man's shoulder, and whispered something to him. After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth and smiled shyly, her smile was so charming.
Feng Hao was drinking and tapping the tablet in his hand. Upon closer inspection, he was actually playing games.
Playing games here is really refreshing and unconventional, but Chi Wenyan didn't find it strange. He looked at the door thoughtfully.
"Second brother, Zhou Zechuan is here." Feng Hao said from the side, and crossed out the incoming message.
"Well, bring him in."
Feng Hao put down the tablet, put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the door. After taking a few steps, he saw Zhou Zechuan standing outside, dressed neatly.
People who don’t know might think that the business is under closure.
"Hey, Mr. Zhou, what's this?" Feng Hao was stunned and joked.
"I'm sorry, I just had a meeting and didn't want to keep Brother Chi waiting too long, so I didn't have time to change clothes."
Zhou Zechuan smiled and joked with Feng Hao for a few words, but he didn't step in. He changed the subject and said, "You mentioned my matter to Brother Chi, right? How is Brother Chi doing? Is he unhappy?"
Feng Hao clicked his tongue a few times and put his arm around Zhou Zechuan's shoulders. Zhou Zechuan was shorter than him, so with the arm around him, he staggered and almost fell.
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but his expression returned to normal as soon as he raised his head.
"What else can we do? We're brothers, and we're all about loyalty. But I don't know anything about business, so I'll have to see what Second Brother thinks."
"Yes, yes, that's right."
Following Feng Hao in, Wen Chiyan smiled, nodded and pointed to the booth opposite.
"Please sit down."
"Hey, Brother Chi, how have you been staying in Yucheng these past few days? If there's anything you haven't done well for me, please tell me."
"Yucheng has good feng shui, and the green mountains and clear waters make it a very comfortable place to stay. It is a suitable place for retirement."
Hearing about retirement, Zhou Zechuan looked up at Chi Wenyan's expression and said tentatively, "Brother Chi's vision is indeed different. I'm planning to invest in a nursing home project. Young Master Feng has also told you that this project is good, but it's a bit difficult to get it. It's hard to smooth over the connections at the top."
