Chapter 71 Miss Gu will soon be my uncle's fiancée
Zhou Siyu was following behind the two of them. When she saw them, her expression suddenly changed and she couldn't help but blurt out.
"Why is she here too? Why did my brother bring her along for an occasion like today?"
Hearing this, Chi Yan followed her gaze and said, "Siyu, you and Miss Xu must have grown up together, right?"
Zhou Siyu was about to refute, but suddenly glanced at Zhou Chen beside her and could only nod reluctantly.
"I invited Miss Xu."
"What? Sister Chi Yan, you know she..." She bit her lip and couldn't help leaning over and whispering, "Why did you invite her?"
Chi Yan smiled gently and looked at Zhou Chen generously, "After all, she is your Zhou family's child, and I think grandpa seems to value her very much."
Zhou Siyu's face immediately fell when she heard this, and she couldn't help but mutter something under her breath.
"So what? I was kicked out four years ago..."
Chi Yan had been paying attention to Zhou Chen's look and expression. When he heard this, he just patted Zhou Siyu's hand gently, signaling her to stop talking.
Zhou Zimo also walked towards them with Xu Ge.
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on a few people.
Xu Ge could even hear people talking about her behind her back.
There were so many people talking that it was hard to tell who was speaking first.
"Who is the woman next to Mr. Zhou?"
"I don't know, it's my first time seeing you..."
"A new person? But in previous years, Mr. Zhou would just meet and go. I've never seen him bring a female companion."
"Mr. Zhou organizes that person's birthday party every year. Mr. Zhou wouldn't dare bring those women to him, right?"
"So who is this person today? Did you see that Mr. Zhou took her to greet Mr. Zhou?"
"But why do I feel like this person looks familiar? I feel like I've seen him somewhere..."
"Is she some rich girl?"
"Probably not. Let me think about it carefully..."
"Ah, I remember where I've seen her!"
"You know her, tell me who she is from?"
The man said with a horrified expression: "Zhou, Zhou family!"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
The man was so shocked that he was speechless. He just stared with wide eyes and shook his head.
On the other side, Xu Ge had already come in front of the three of them holding Zhou Zimo's hand.
Xu Ge gave out the gift he had prepared long ago.
"Miss Chi, I wish you a happy birthday. This is a little gift from me."
Chi Yan would not refuse. She received so many gifts every year that she nodded generously.
"Thank you, Miss Xu."
Zhou Siyu was so curious that she took the gift box even faster than Chi Yan.
"What good things can you give me? It's just my brother giving you..."
But the moment the gift box was opened, she suddenly became speechless.
Chi Yan also looked over curiously, and was stunned when she saw a valuable diamond necklace inside.
She subconsciously looked at Zhou Chen beside her.
"Achen, isn't this too expensive?"
Zhou Siyu was also stunned, because she knew this set of jewelry. She had seen it in Zhou's house before, and she had been thinking about it for a long time.
Woolen cloth.
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. Remember ++
"How did you get this set of jewelry?"
Xu Ge smiled and did not answer her question, but looked at Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen also shifted his gaze away from the set of jewelry and looked at Xu Ge with deep eyes.
Xu Ge curled the corners of his lips at him and then looked back at Chi Yan.
"Miss Chi, Grandpa asked me to give this to you. I hope you will accept it."
Zhou Zimo was also quite surprised, but when he heard that it was his grandfather who asked her to send it, he was a little unsure of what his grandfather meant.
Because this set of jewelry was left by grandma and grandpa has always treasured it. Even Siyu and her mother tried to get it indirectly several times but failed.
Zhou Siyu's thoughts were very simple, and she immediately looked happy.
"Sister Chi Yan, this is my grandmother's favorite set of jewelry!"
So, what does this say? What does this represent?
Zhou Siyu could hardly contain her joy, "Grandpa finally accepted you!"
Xu Ge just raised her eyebrows and said nothing. The old man didn't have any extra words to say to her, so they could only imagine what he meant.
Chi Yan couldn't help but be stunned, staring at the set of jewelry and looking at Zhou Chen beside her in a daze.
She seemed a little uneasy and held his hand, subconsciously seeking help and a sense of security.
"Achen?"
Zhou Chen glanced at the jewelry indifferently, and after a moment he whispered, "If I give it to you, it's yours. Take it."
Xu Ge then said softly, "I'm just offering this as a token of my appreciation. I hope Miss Chi doesn't mind."
Chi Yan looked at her and smiled gently, "Thank grandpa for me."
At this moment Zhou Zimo suddenly said: "Uncle, I have something to tell you."
After saying this, he looked at Chi Yan with an apologetic look on his face.
Chi Yan was a perceptive person, and seeing this, she tilted her head and said considerately.
"Achen, Zimo wants to talk to you about something, so go ahead and do it."
Zhou Chen didn't respond, but just glanced at Zhou Zimo.
Chi Yan thought he was worried about her, so the expression on her face became even gentler.
"You don't have to worry about me. I have Siyu and Miss Xu with me, okay?"
Zhou Chen glanced at Xu Ge and then looked at Zhou Siyu.
Zhou Siyu immediately said: "Don't worry, uncle, I will take good care of Sister Chi Yan."
Zhou Chen then nodded and glanced at Zhou Zimo.
"Let's go."
Zhou Zimo glanced at Xu Ge when he turned around, and their eyes met for only a moment.
Since someone is standing up for her, she can just sit back and enjoy the results.
Xu Ge and Chi Yan's eyes met for a few seconds before she heard Chi Yan whisper to her.
"This is Miss Xu's first time here. I have difficulty walking, so please forgive me if I can't provide a good reception."
Xu Ge took a look at her legs and felt a pity in his heart.
If it weren't for these legs, the two of them would be considered a perfect match, although the Chi family is now in decline.
But after all, they have a century-old foundation. If the two get married, the Chi family will sooner or later fall into the hands of the Zhou family.
This was probably the first reason why Mr. Zhou agreed to it.
The reason he opposes now is, firstly, the Zhou family's reputation, and secondly, he should have a better candidate.
Thinking of the information she saw that day, the corners of her lips couldn't help but twitch.
She doesn't feel guilty towards Chi Yan, nor does she feel pity for her.
Even if it wasn't her today, she would have to endure no less.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance.
"Who is that?"
"It's the first time I see you. You're so pretty..."
"Looks familiar..."
"Ah, I remember now, that's Gu Wushuang, the daughter of the Gu family in North City!"
"Beicheng Gu family, oh my god, why is she here? Could it be that she is here for Chi Yan as well?"
Those who came to this birthday party were all daughters of famous families from the upper class.
But the main reason was that the person who planned the banquet was Zhou Chen.
Zhou Siyu was also stunned and couldn't help asking, "Sister Chi Yan, is this Miss Gu your friend?"
Chi Yan shook her head. "We don't know each other."
"Then why is she here?"
"Because Miss Gu will soon be my uncle's fiancée, she should be here to see my uncle."
