Chapter 452: An event from long ago
That day, the two of them went back to the Zhou family's old house for dinner. Chen Ru was not at the table. She usually attached great importance to family gatherings.
Because this would prove that she is a member of the Zhou family.
But Chen Ru was not here today.
"She went to accompany Siyu and won't be back for a few days."
Xu Ge nodded and responded softly.
The next second, Zhou Chen picked up a piece of pork ribs and placed them in his bowl. Zhou Ping looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Try it. I heard it's a wild boar, freshly killed."
Xu Ge smiled and nodded and started eating in small bites. Wild boar should be a wild boar, right?
"Mmm, the meat smells so good!"
"Then eat more. Achen, give her a few more pieces." Zhou Ping said as he changed the position of the plates.
Old Master Zhou glanced at the few people with satisfaction, and finally set his sights on Zhou Zimo, who was eating quietly in silence.
The old man paused before raising his hand. The butler glanced at Zhou Zimo and handed him the photo that had been prepared long ago.
A few photos suddenly appeared on the dining table, immediately attracting the attention of Zhou Ping and Xu Ge.
Only Zhou Chen didn't seem to care. He didn't even look over there, but continued to feed her food.
"Open your mouth."
"Ah..." Xu Ge opened his mouth subconsciously.
A shrimp went into her mouth.
Zhou Ping raised his eyebrows and looked at the two of them, his smile deepening.
Zhou Zimo already had some guesses in his mind as he looked at the pile of photos that were pushed to his side, and he slowly put down his chopsticks.
"Grandpa, what is this?"
Mr. Zhou raised his chin and said, "First, take a look at these people to see if there is anyone you like."
Zhou Ping also looked over when he heard it. He glanced at the photos and then at his expressionless son.
Suddenly, I thought of the scene when the old man had forced me to marry into the Chen family.
Zhou Ping didn't want his son to follow his old path. He knew best how difficult a loveless marriage was.
"Dad, what era is it now? Why are you still doing this?"
When Mr. Zhou heard this, he glared at him and said, "What's your business? Just eat your meal."
Zhou Ping's brows gradually furrowed, and he casually put down his chopsticks and said.
"Zimo is my son, how come he has nothing to do with me?"
The old man retorted without hesitation, "As long as your father is still alive, your words don't count. Shut up!"
Zhou Ping's face darkened a little when he saw Zhou Zimo had picked up the photos and started looking at them carefully.
"Zimo!"
Hearing this, Zhou Zimo looked up at his father and forced a smile, "Let me take a look first, just in case there is one. If not, I believe Grandpa won't force me to choose, right, Grandpa?"
Mr. Zhou nodded, still very satisfied with his attitude, and said with a smile.
"If there's nothing you like here, Grandpa will continue to search for it for you. Take your time to choose. There's no rush."
"Okay, then let me take a look first." Zhou Zimo lowered his head and began to look at the pictures one by one. Their identities were written on each picture.
Zhou Zimo was familiar with and knew most of the people, after all, the circle was so small.
I watched Zhou Zimo flipping through the pictures one by one without any intention of stopping.
Xu Ge turned his head and glanced at Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen also looked at her and asked, "Would you like some soup?"
Xu Ge took a look at the kelp and oyster soup and thought it should be delicious, so he nodded.
Zhou Chen served her a bowl of soup, "The temperature is just right."
Xu Ge picked up the glass soup bowl and started drinking.
Zhou Zimo listened to the movements around him, but his eyes were always on the photos of these women.
Finally he picked up one and said, "Let's take her."
Mr. Zhou didn't think he had a choice, he just wanted to warn him and make him change his mind.
He cares about his grandson, but he values his son Zhou Chen more.
Besides, although he is old, he is not blind, and the young couple is doing well.
He is most afraid of things like scandals involving wealthy families.
This one incident was enough, he didn't want any misfortune to happen to his family.
The housekeeper took the photo and handed it to Mr. Zhou.
The old man put on his reading glasses hanging around his neck. Ye Ruxin? The girl from the Ye family?
Zhou Zimo curled the corners of his lips, "Ruxin and I are acquainted, and she's the only one among these people who has a good impression of me."
Mr. Zhou nodded and said, "Okay."
Zhou Ping's gaze moved between the grandfather and grandson's faces, but in the end he said nothing.
The parties involved have made their own choices, what else can he say?
Until the end of dinner, Zhou Ping played chess with the old man on the sofa, and Xu Ge helped wash fruits in the kitchen, mainly picking some that she liked to eat.
"Ma'am, are you still washing the blueberries?"
"No need to wash, no need to wash. I've eaten enough. I can do it myself. You go and do your own thing. I'll do it myself."
"OK."
The servant turned around and left the kitchen after hearing what she said. After all, she was the master, so naturally she had to obey her orders.
Xu Ge picked out some fresh seasonal fruits.
When she came out with the fruit plate, she didn't see anyone on the sofa, so she subconsciously looked around.
Where have the people gone?
"My uncle went to the study. It seems he has a temporary document to deal with."
After hearing Zhou Zimo's words, she stopped looking around, responded, and placed the fruit plate on the coffee table.
"Uncle Ping, what would you like to eat? This pear is quite sweet. I just ate it."
"Okay, then eat pears."
"Grandpa, please eat mango."
The old man was also concentrating on the chessboard and just nodded after listening.
Finally, Zhou Zimo was left. Xu Ge pushed the fruit plate forward and said, "Take whatever you want to eat."
Zhou Zimo smiled and glanced at the fruit plate, then took out a longan and slowly peeled it open.
The atmosphere was pretty good at the moment. After watching the father and son play chess for a while, Xu Ge felt it was boring, so he stood up and went straight to the second floor.
Zhou Zimo paused slightly in his hand movements, and slowly raised his head to look at Xu Ge's back as she went up the stairs. He did not slowly withdraw his gaze until she disappeared around the corner.
As soon as Xu Ge gently pushed open the door of the study, he heard Zhou Chen seemed to be in a meeting, speaking standard English.
She whispered in.
Xu Ge wandered to the bookshelf out of boredom, and as she wandered around, it seemed as if her brain was restarted.
She suddenly remembered something that happened a long time ago...
Moreover, she seemed to have forgotten something long ago, but she shouldn't have remembered it, but suddenly she had a flash of inspiration and remembered it!
So she pretended to pick up a book and flip through it, then turned slightly to look at the person at the desk. Only after seeing that he was concentrating on the meeting did she look away.
His eyes began to scan back and forth across the bookshelf, like a sorting robot.
But after so many years, the bookshelf seems to have been sorted and classified.
How long will it take her to find so many books?
In her impression, the book seemed to be pink or purple?
As for the title of the book, she had no idea and couldn't remember it. She only remembered the color.
So she began to screen the colors and slowly searched.
After quickly flipping through a book, I didn't find what I was looking for, so I put it back unopened.
