Thinking of this, Zhou Qiteng smiled roguishly, raising his chin slightly: "What are you saying, sister? Even if I stay for another ten or eight years and don't come back, I will still be the eldest grandson of the Zhou family and the only grandson of my grandfather."
He emphasized the last sentence and spoke slowly, as if deliberately reminding Zhou Xinlan that he was the only heir to the Zhou family business.
The continuation of the Zhou family line still depends on him.
Hearing his words, Zhou Xinlan smiled and said calmly, "I hope that you, the eldest grandson of the Zhou family, can live up to this title."
After saying that, she picked up a glass of red wine and turned to walk into the crowd.
She wore a confident and generous smile, a smile that Zhou Qiteng couldn't stand the most.
He knew that Zhou Xinlan wasn't truly happy, so he knew how fake her smile was.
Disgusting.
Just like before, she smiled and persuaded her grandfather to send him abroad when he was only a few years old.
Zhou Qiteng was seething with anger. He kicked the chair next to him in frustration, snorted coldly, and walked into the crowd as well.
When Ji Huaishen and Mu Xiaocheng arrived, Grandpa Zhou's birthday banquet had already begun.
Mu Xiaocheng didn't dress up elaborately today. She wore a pink long dress, which covered her up completely. Her chestnut-colored, slightly wavy long hair was draped over her shoulders, making her look both ladylike and sweetly playful.
Ji Huaishen was dressed in a black suit as always. He was tall and upright, and his handsome face was expressionless.
Mu Xiaocheng tugged at her dress and glared at the man beside her.
Not only did they bully her at home, they also wouldn't let her wear the dresses she liked.
The dress covered her completely and was very long; she didn't really like this elegant socialite style.
This was too restrictive; it made her feel like she was tied up.
Although she's beautiful and looks good in anything, she doesn't like this dress...
Ji Huaishen insisted that she wear this dress, rejecting all the other dresses.
Ji Huai knew that the girl beside him was unhappy.
When she came out of Langming Garden, she pouted, looking very dissatisfied with him.
Although he thought she was quite cute like that, but...
He didn't want to make her angry.
Ji Huaishen suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at her.
Still angry?
Mu Xiaocheng raised her chin and said, "What do you think?"
She's made it so obvious, can't you see it?
It's clearly a rhetorical question.
Mu Xiaocheng pouted, turned her head, and looked to the other side.
Seeing that she was being difficult again, Ji Huaishen helplessly pulled the girl into his arms.
He patted her back gently, as if coaxing a child.
"Sweetie, wear it when you get back."
"You can wear whatever you want."
He has no objection to wearing those clothes at home.
But it's impossible outside.
Ji Huaishen isn't that generous.
Mu Xiaocheng was embarrassed by his words. She lowered her head, grabbed his hand, and bit his hand hard.
"Bad guy."
Who wants to go back and wear it?
She doesn't want to wear it for him.
Ji Huaishen winced in pain, then a faint smile appeared on his lips.
He gently stroked the little girl's hair: "Are you not angry anymore, hmm?"
Mu Xiaocheng: "..."
Oh.
She ignored him, but to avoid attracting attention, she didn't continue to make a scene.
She obediently took his arm and walked into the crowd.
