Chapter 14 I Don’t Want the One Who’s Already Taken
The next day, Xu Ge came down the stairs slowly wearing a white long dress, with long straight black hair and a pair of white square-heeled shoes. She looked cute and pretty.
"Good morning, Grandpa."
Mr. Zhou waved to her and said, "Come, I made your favorite dumplings."
Xu Ge smiled and nodded, then sat down next to the old man. When she saw the other person at the table, she just took a quick look and lowered her head. Her red lips moved but she didn't say anything, and her expression seemed a little conflicted and embarrassed.
But Mr. Zhou spoke at this time, with a hint of blame in his tone.
"Xiao Ge..."
Xu Ge slowly raised his head and looked at the old man, his eyes somewhat evasive and nervous.
"grandfather?"
Grandpa Zhou stared at her for a long time before sighing and saying, "Achen is your uncle after all, and you're a member of our Zhou family. Some things are in the past. Xiaoge is so smart, she must understand what Grandpa means, right?"
Xu Ge put down his hand, nodded slowly, and whispered.
"Grandpa, I understand."
After she finished speaking, she looked up at the man who had remained silent at the table and gave her a well-behaved smile.
"Good morning, uncle."
Mr. Zhou nodded in satisfaction and then looked at his youngest son.
But Zhou Chen didn't even look at Xu Ge. Instead, he put down the coffee in his hand, slowly wiped the corner of his lips with a napkin, and spoke in a dull voice.
"I'm done eating. Take your time. I'll go to the company."
Xu Ge raised his eyebrows, picked up the milk and took a sip as if a little embarrassed, hiding the sarcasm on his lips.
Old Master Zhou looked unhappy and turned to look at Xu Ge.
"Xiao Ge, don't worry about him. Your uncle is just like that. Come on, eat more and see if the taste has changed."
Xu Ge nodded obediently, keeping his head down. "Well, thank you, Grandpa..."
After breakfast, Xu Ge suggested that he wanted to go out for a walk, since he hadn't been home for a long time.
Mr. Zhou nodded happily and asked Aunt Hong to take her to the garage to choose a car as her daily means of transportation.
Looking at the luxury cars in the garage, Xu Ge chose the one that caught his eye the most.
She walked over to the Astin Marton and patted it, "Auntie Hong, I'll choose this one."
Aunt Hong's expression suddenly changed. "This, this one?"
Xu Ge tilted her head to look at her, and seeing that she looked embarrassed and hesitant, she couldn't help but become curious.
"Yeah, what's wrong? Can't I choose this one?"
Aunt Hong opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but her expression of not knowing how to say it really piqued Xu Ge's interest.
She looked at Aunt Hong with a playful expression, "But Grandpa just said I can pick whatever I like and it's mine. This one can't be mine. Does it have any special meaning to it?"
Aunt Hong looked at her for a long moment before shaking her head and saying, "This car is a gift from the Second Young Master, so Xiaoge, why don't you take a look at some other options? Do you like the Ferrari? The red one is so beautiful, it would suit you."
The smile on Xu Ge's face gradually faded, and she slowly shook her head.
"What a shame, I like this one."
"But this car is the second young master's birthday gift to Miss Chi, you..."
Aunt Hong said it anxiously, her face suddenly changed, and she looked at Xu Ge as if sizing him up.
Xu Ge's expression was not
Change,
But the emotion in his eyes has always faded a lot.
"Chi Yan?"
Aunt Hong was even more surprised▍▍卍▍++▍,
"How do you know?"
Xu Ge pulled the corner of his lips,
Slowly withdraw your hands from the car.
There was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes, and he finally spoke slowly.
"Forget it, since it's already taken, I don't want it. I'll listen to you, Aunt Hong. That Ferrari is pretty good, right?"
Aunt Hong was relieved to see that she agreed and quickly found the key for her.
After saying goodbye to Aunt Hong, Xu Ge drove away from the old house and called Ding Lili.
"Hello, Ge'er?"
"Help me investigate someone."
"Who are you going to investigate?"
"The eldest daughter of the Chi family in Gangcheng, Chi Yan."
Ding Lili was no stranger to this name. After a long silence, she asked, "Why are you investigating her?"
Xu Ge glanced at the rearview mirror and said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't do anything. I just want to know some basic information."
"All right."
After ending the call, Xu Ge opened the navigation and located Zhou's place.
But as she was driving, she noticed a Lamborghini behind her, which kept honking its horn, as if trying to overtake her.
Xu Ge raised her eyebrows, raised her red lips, changed gears and started overtaking.
It immediately attracted the attention of people on the roadside.
The Lamborghini owner couldn't help but let out a "fuck!", looking at the Ferrari that was leaving only a puff of smoke, and picked up his phone to dial.
"What's up?"
He Jinyang gritted his teeth and said, "Are you crazy? Overtaking on Binhai Road in broad daylight? I honked at you, why did you still step on the accelerator? What? Is there someone in the car? Are you afraid I'll see?"
In response to this barrage of questions, Zhou Chen stopped what he was doing and analyzed the clues from his words.
"Have you seen my car?"
Ferrari
00001 is not yours? Did I remember it wrongly? "
Zhou Chen stood up from his chair with his cell phone in hand, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked towards the northwest.
Sure enough, the next second, I saw his Ferrari heading straight towards Zhou’s.
"Why aren't you talking?"
Zhou Chen then said calmly: "It's not me who opened it."
He Jinyang couldn't help but be stunned. "If not you, then who else?"
Zhou Chen has no other hobbies, and cars are probably the only one of them.
Even if his brothers wanted to try out the cars in his garage, they had to depend on his mood. He Jinyang suddenly became curious about who could drive his car out without him knowing.
But obviously Zhou Chen didn't give him the chance to get to the bottom of it.
Looking at the hung-up phone, Zhou Chen opened the brothers group.
He Jinyang: Do you believe that Zhou Chen lent his beloved car to others?
Xiao Ren: I don’t believe it.
Lu Zhang: Disbelief +1.
Zhao Jinglun: Are you seeing things?
He Jinyang scoffed and sent a dashcam video to the group.
Xiao Ren: Oh my god, isn’t this cool overtaking technique from Achen himself?
Lu Zhang: Is he crazy enough to overtake on Binhai Road?
Zhao Jinglun: So did A Yang catch up?
He Jinyang: ...I got dumped and didn’t catch up!
Xiao Ren: @Zhou Chen, please come out and explain, who was driving the car?
Zhou Chen glanced at the group message and ignored it until his phone rang. He looked at the number and saw that it was from the front desk.
"Hello."
"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry to bother you. There's a Miss Xu who claims to be your niece. She said the old chairman asked her to come here. Could you please invite Miss Xu up?"
Zhou Chen slowly raised his eyes to check the time and said calmly, "Let her come up."
"Okay, goodbye, Mr. Zhou."
After the receptionist hung up the phone, she looked at Xu Ge, her expression changing from suspicion to surprise.
"Ms. Xu, Mr. Zhou wants you to come up. This way, please."
Xu Ge thanked her, but did not ask her to lead him there. Instead, he said, "Don't bother."
But the front desk clerk still accompanied her and was even more shocked when he saw her entering the correct password in Mr. Zhou’s private elevator!
