Zhou Family
Time flies and it's the agreed day.
It rained a little last night. After the rain, the wind is always fresh and elegant.
There are countless luxury cars parked in the garage space of the high-end residential area. In front of one of the low-key and restrained McLarens stands a tall and broad man wearing a well-tailored dark grey custom suit. He has a cool face and exudes a mature and steady aura.
He seemed to be waiting for someone. While standing there quietly, he rubbed the dial of his watch from time to time. When he could see the time clearly, his tough profile was tinged with a hint of helplessness and smile.
The woman said it would only take ten minutes, but forty minutes had already passed.
Soon, he raised his hand and put the phone to his ear, and spoke in a low, hoarse voice, full of warning: "If you don't come down, I'll go up and catch you."
"Here I come." The voice coming from the phone was soft and gentle.
However, in a real garage, the same sound has a completely different flavor.
"Why are you rushing me? Are you really rushing me to reincarnate?"
Zhou Qishen was stunned when he heard it, then he glanced at the screen where he exited the call, realized something, and then looked in the direction of the voice.
The person who came was wearing an elegant crescent-white cheongsam that showed off her curvy figure. She was holding a handbag and walking towards this side unsteadily. In the gap between the high-split hems of her dress, her two white and slender legs seemed to be exposed but not quite, and the woman's charm was swaying endlessly in an instant.
The tied-up hair shows off the slender neck, the spirally twisted flower buckles are matched together, and the intricate and delicate embroidery is arranged in an orderly manner, with indescribable ancient charm and grace.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiao finished complaining casually, then bent down and tugged at the hem of her skirt.
This dress was custom-made by a master craftsman yesterday after she and Paul discussed cooperation. She took Liang Cheng to have it custom-made. It was delivered to her home this morning.
It was beautiful and comfortable, but maybe it was because she seldom wore cheongsam in normal times, but when she wore it occasionally, she felt a little restrained and uncomfortable when walking on the street.
But with the confidence to wear it, Jiang Xiao hesitated for a few times, took a deep breath, and immediately raised her head, straightened her chest and tightened her stomach. In an instant, she became different. With every move she made, she exuded the aura that one should have when wearing a cheongsam.
However, when she raised her eyes inadvertently, she saw Zhou Qishen not far away and was stunned.
He had obviously dressed up today, with his hair combed up meticulously, revealing his full forehead and clear eyebrows, making him look even more tall and dignified.
Their eyes met, staring at each other from a distance.
Jiang Xiao was embarrassed. She wondered if he had heard her complaint just now.
Zhou Qishen stared at her palm-sized face. Probably to match her clothes, she had put on light and elegant makeup today. If you didn't look closely, you would think she was not wearing any makeup at all and was completely natural.
Zhou Qishen asked casually, "Have you packed it up?"
"Yes, I've packed it." Jiang Xiao approached slowly, and out of guilt for being late, she still expressed her apology: "Sorry, I kept you waiting for so long."
Hearing this, Zhou Qishen said nothing. He used the car key to unlock the car, indicating that it was time for her to get in and go.
Jiang Xiao stopped him and asked hurriedly, "Wait, can you help me take a look first, is this dress good-looking?"
As she spoke, Jiang Xiao turned around a few times on the spot, her skirt fluttering and her high heels clicking, each sound hitting Zhou Qishen's heart.
Zhou Qishen raised his eyelashes again and looked at her with pursed lips. His black eyes were deep and boundless in the shadows, and he frowned at the sound of his heartbeat coming from his chest.
After a while, his face was tense and his tone was a little sarcastic: "After so much trouble, how can it not look good?"
After listening to his comments, Jiang Xiao automatically ignored the first half of his blame and focused on the word "good-looking". She was satisfied and walked towards the co-pilot happily: "Hehe, it's good-looking, let's go, otherwise we will be late."
Four o'clock in the afternoon, in the suburbs of Beijing.
A luxurious and elegant manor-style villa is located here, with a total of six floors and more than 50,000 square meters of private enclosed land. It is huge in area, with exquisite and simple architectural style, surrounded by grassland and green water, like a paradise.
A McLaren is driving on the road in the garden. Along the way, various precious tree species such as fraxinus, yew, maple, locust and magnolia can be clearly seen, creating a colorful feeling of the four seasons and presenting the beauty and shock of the central axis symmetry.
When the vehicle arrives at the villa, the iron gate opens automatically to let it enter the manor.
The closer Jiang Xiao got to the building, the more nervous she became, and she subconsciously glanced at the people around her.
Zhou Qishen's face was calm, without any extra emotions. He turned the steering wheel along the fountain and parked the car steadily in front of the main entrance. Then he got out of the car, walked around in another direction, and opened the door on her side.
"Get out of the car." Zhou Qishen supported the roof of the car with his left hand to prevent her from hitting her head, and spread his right hand with the palm facing up, motioning her to get on.
Jiang Xiao adjusted her breathing, put her hand on him, and slowly got out of the car with the help of his strength.
After she stood firm, Zhou Qishen leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Hold my arm."
The slightly warm breath sprayed on her neck. Jiang Xiao nodded gently and did as she was told without much hesitation.
The two arms were intertwined and tightly pressed together, one thick and one thin, forming a sharp contrast.
Zhou Qishen took her a few steps forward, and immediately a parking servant got into the car and drove away.
The engine sound gradually faded away, and a man in a black suit came up to us: "Sir, you are here."
The manor is equipped with a total of four butlers, eight cooks and fifty servants who are responsible for the daily management of the manor. This man is one of the butlers. His surname is Li, he is nearly fifty years old, with white hair, a kind face, a gentle and elegant temperament, and a gleam of brilliance.
"Who is this?" Butler Li's eyes fell on the unfamiliar face next to Zhou Qishen.
Zhou Qishen introduced him: "My wife, Jiang Xiao."
There was a hint of surprise in Butler Li's eyes, and he looked around, unable to believe that Zhou Qishen had secretly married. But he soon remembered what the old lady had been saying from time to time these days, and everything seemed to have a clear answer.
"Hello, Madam." Butler Li smiled kindly.
Zhou Qishen tilted his head and said to Jiang Xiao, who was standing there in a daze, "This is Uncle Li, who has taken care of me since I was a child."
Jiang Xiao came back to her senses, her throat a little dry, and said sweetly, "Hello, Uncle Li."
To be honest, she had not fully adapted to the role of Mrs. Zhou. When she heard Zhou Qishen introducing her to Butler Li, she felt a little nervous, fearing that she would be exposed.
The chat ended here, and Zhou Qishen led her into the house. What caught her eye was a complete floor-to-ceiling window on the side, which extended all the way to the second floor. The sunlight shone in, making the room spacious and bright.
Standing in the house and looking outside, you can clearly see various flowers and green plants. There are several fabric lazy sofas in the shade of the courtyard, and several young children are curled up in them reading books.
Jiang Xiao took a quick glance and then shifted her gaze into the house. Compared to the outside, the living room was empty, without a single person in sight.
Just as she was wondering where the Zhou family's elders had gone, Zhou Qishen's low voice suddenly came to her ears: "Are you nervous?"
Jiang Xiao shook her head: "Not bad."
Zhou Qishen raised his eyebrows, his deep pupils flickering with light. He glanced at the beads of sweat on her forehead and said slowly, "Really? But your forehead is all sweaty."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiao subconsciously raised his hand and touched his hairline. Just as he said, his fingertips were immediately stained with the stickiness of sweat.
Jiang Xiao did not miss the teasing in his eyes. Not wanting to lose out in front of him, she lied with her eyes open: "Maybe it's because of the heat."
The weather is hot, but how is it possible that I would sweat after just walking two steps outdoors? Zhou Qishen saw through it but didn't say anything. Just when he was about to say something else, he was interrupted.
"Uncle! You're here?" A little girl who looked to be about ten years old ran in from the side door of the courtyard. She had long black hair and a yellow skirt, and was bright and generous. She stopped after running a few steps and looked at Jiang Xiao next to Zhou Qishen curiously: "Hey, who is this beautiful sister?"
An uncle and a sister, the generations are totally messed up.
Zhou Qishen corrected with a cold face: "Call me auntie."
The little girl was not shy about meeting someone for the first time, and immediately changed her tone sweetly: "Hello, auntie, my name is Tiantian, you are so beautiful, just like the female star Jiang Xiao."
Tiantian has the mentality of a child. She says whatever she thinks without hiding anything.
Jiang Xiao was overjoyed by the compliment and responded with a smile: "You are also very beautiful. Well... I am Jiang Xiao."
"Ah!" Tiantian's round eyes suddenly widened and she blinked in disbelief.
Zhou Qishen interrupted their conversation and asked, "Where are your parents?"
Tiantian came back to her senses from the shock and answered truthfully: "They made an appointment to play tennis. They should be back soon."
"Got it." Zhou Qishen waved his hand and signaled her to go play by herself.
Tiantian, who was a smart kid, rolled her eyes, got the instructions, and disappeared into the house in a flash. She ran towards the outdoor tennis court without stopping. When she was almost there, she shouted at the top of her voice: "Dad! Mom! Uncle brought aunt back."
In the huge tennis court, everyone's attention was attracted by this sentence.
"Tiantian, don't talk nonsense." Wang Shuyi, who was sitting in the rest area, waved at her daughter and took her into her arms. While wiping her sweat with a tissue, she gently said, "Your uncle doesn't even have a girlfriend, so where does your aunt come from?"
"Tiantian is not lying. My aunt is the popular female star Jiang Xiao." Tiantian was eager to prove that she was not lying. After she finished speaking, she pulled Wang Shuyi up and walked in the direction they came from.
These words were carried by the wind to a nearby court. Zhou Wenting, who was playing against someone, was stunned for a moment and missed the ball from his opponent. The ball fell to the ground with a plop and he lost points.
Everyone had different expressions and the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.
Zhou Qishen is getting married?
The Zhou family members looked at each other, all with expressions of disbelief.
One is the heir to the group, and the other is a popular female star. These two people are together, and no matter how low-key and careful they are, it is impossible to keep it completely secret. How could there not be even the slightest rumor?
And even if they didn't know, how could Su Miwan, as a mother, not know? But looking at her reaction, there was a hint of shock in her calmness, as if she had just found out about it, just like them.
After hearing this explosive news, everyone lost their mind to play basketball and started packing up their things to go back home.
