Chapter 43 So I Won't Do Anything
Zhou Siyu was stunned and looked at her father in disbelief.
"I hate you!" Zhou Siyu yelled, covered her face, turned around and ran out.
Chen Ru's face was also very ugly, and it seemed that she wanted to say something on behalf of her precious daughter, but when she saw her husband's extremely ugly face, she dared not say anything.
But before turning around and leaving, he couldn't help but glare at the culprit Xu Ge.
Xu Ge had a worried look on her face, as if she had not expected things to turn out like this, so she spoke softly, full of guilt.
"It's all because of me..."
Zhou Ping then turned to look at her, his ugly expression gradually faded, and he even smiled.
"Xiaoge, I haven't seen you for so many years. You have grown up and become more beautiful."
Xu Ge raised his eyes to look at Zhou Ping and gave him a fairly sincere smile.
"Uncle Ping, long time no see, how are you?"
Zhou Ping smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, I'm fine, you..."
He seemed to want to ask her how she was doing living alone abroad, but the words never came out.
Is there any need to ask?
How can one live well when being alone in a strange country, away from the familiar environment of home?
Xu Ge seemed to see through his thoughts, and his smile became more sincere.
"Uncle Ping, I'm doing pretty well too. I've definitely learned a lot of culture and knowledge abroad in the past few years."
Zhou Ping smiled and nodded, "Well, that's good, that's good, it's good to be back."
Xu Ge looked at the wrinkled man and nodded and smiled.
Since she came back until now, this man is the only one who feels sincerely welcomed and happy about her return.
In fact, when she first arrived in the United States, Zhou Ping would take time to visit her every month.
In order not to worry Zhou Ping, she pretended to have gotten over it.
Mr. Zhou also slowly stood up from the sofa, and Xu Ge followed him.
"Okay, let's eat."
"Grandpa, please slow down..."
Zhou Ping withdrew his gaze and looked at his younger brother, as if he had something to say.
Zhou Chen just glanced at him indifferently and said, "If you have anything to say, we can talk later."
Zhou Ping had no choice but to nod.
After dinner, Zhou Ping brought a gift for Xu Ge.
Xu Ge wanted to decline at first, but Zhou Ping's words forced her to accept.
"Take it, it's your mother's."
Xu Ge's eyes paused before he opened the gift box. Inside was a pearl necklace and a crystal clear pink raindrop-shaped pearl pendant.
"This is your mother's favorite necklace. I've been looking for it for several years and finally found it. Look, there's your mother's initials inside."
Xu Ge immediately searched for it and saw the abbreviation on the ring.
She couldn't describe her mood. Her impression of her mother had faded a lot, but she had a lot of photos of her mother, all given to her by Zhou Ping.
Her mother died when she was a few years old. She stayed in an orphanage for more than a year before being taken back to the Zhou family by Zhou Ping.
So she had no memories of her mother left, except for her appearance, which was still fresh in her memory, thanks to Zhou Ping.
"Uncle Ping, thank you."
Zhou Ping looked at her and smiled gently, "It's my fault for not educating Siyu well. Ge'er, don't bother with her."
Xu Ge stared at the necklace in his hand for a few seconds before nodding, "Okay."
For the sake of this necklace, she will definitely give in to Zhou Siyu more in the future.
The author Su Yan reminds you that "Mr. Zhou, your wife went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to queue up again" will update the latest chapter as soon as possible.
In the study, the two brothers sat facing each other.
Zhou Chen poured him a cup of tea.
Zhou Ping didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"What exactly do you mean to Ge'er now?"
Zhou Chen picked up the teacup, sniffed it, and said lightly as he looked at the tea leaves floating in the cup.
"What do you mean to her?"
Zhou Ping frowned, "Of course I treat her as half my daughter! What about you? As the eldest brother, I have to be honest. What is your attitude towards Ge'er?"
Zhou Chen put down the teacup and looked up at him.
"What have I done in the past that made you doubt me?"
Zhou Ping was choked by him for a few seconds. Indeed, although Zhou Chen had doted on Xu Ge in the past, he also did a good job of controlling the scale.
He pinched his forehead with a headache, "But after all, you are no longer just uncle and nephew. You have already..."
Zhou Chen naturally understood what he meant, and asked back calmly.
"So, big brother, what do you want me to do? Marry the person you treat as your daughter and make her your sister-in-law?"
Zhou Ping was speechless for once, looking at his brother with complicated eyes, opened his mouth, and finally just asked one question.
"Let me ask you one thing. Did you really not realize that Ge'er liked you before?"
This time it was Zhou Chen's turn to remain silent.
Zhou Ping's face suddenly turned ugly. "How could someone as perceptive as you not notice the change in Ge'er's feelings towards you? You two have such a good relationship..."
At this point, Zhou Ping couldn't help but frown, "Then why don't you stop it?"
Zhou Chen leaned back on the sofa with a calm expression.
"You know I didn't stop her? Or what do you want me to do? Distance myself from her or break the window paper and tell her not to have such wishful thinking? There's no possibility between us? Let her live in pain and shame?"
"You could be more tactful!" Zhou Ping continued to accuse him.
Zhou Chen scoffed disdainfully, "Do you think you're the only one who can't bear to see her sad? I was willing to do that back then?"
Zhou Ping was speechless again.
At that time, Zhou Chen and Xu Ge had a very deep relationship. Even if one of them had changed, even if Zhou Chen noticed it, he would still hesitate and be cautious, not knowing how to resolve this emotional problem.
After all, how old was Xu Ge at that time?
Zhou Chen was really reluctant to let go of the girl's best years of adolescence, her most sincere feelings and true heart, which he held in his hands.
So the only solution he could think of was to let Xu Ge figure it out on his own.
That's why he planned to announce the news of his relationship with Ji Yan on the night of his birthday.
It's just that the incident happened before anything could happen.
The incident really caught him off guard and didn't even give him time to think about how to make amends.
But one thing is for sure, when everyone saw Xu Ge naked and the moment he put on the clothes, he knew that it was irreversible no matter what.
"What now?"
Zhou Chen looked at him calmly, "What do you want me to do?"
Zhou Ping stared at him closely, as if he wanted to see through him, but unfortunately he couldn't.
"You can't, Dad won't agree."
Zhou Chen responded indifferently, with basically no emotional fluctuations.
"So I'm not going to do anything, nothing will change."
Outside the door, Xu Ge, hearing this, turned around expressionlessly and left quietly. After returning to the room, he sat on the edge of the bed and was in a daze for a long time.
All I could hear was their conversation in the study...
