Chapter 90 Dinner
The door of the room was not very soundproof, and Zhou Jingzhao's noise continued early in the morning.
Zhou Wenxuan was furious. When he opened the door, he saw the bedding on the floor and the slap marks on Chu Yunqi's face. He pushed Zhou Jingzhan back a step and lectured him, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you just say it nicely instead of hitting each other? Apologize to Yunqi right now!"
Zhou Jingzhan refused to accept the decision: "I won't! He was the one who wanted to break up with me."
As soon as the word "break up" came out, Zhou Wenxuan's heart was in his throat. It was Chu Yunqi who proposed the breakup, and his son was making such a fuss. If they really broke up, it would definitely be more tragic than last time.
After all, he was considered an elder, so Zhou Wenxuan didn't show any worry and stood firm: "Then you shouldn't have done it!"
Zhou Jingzhan was undoubtedly the one who could not accept the breakup the most. He was extremely upset and did not want to contact anyone. He even pushed his father and Chu Yunqi out.
Zhou Wenxuan had no choice but to say to Chu Yunqi, "I've spoiled this kid. Don't be like him."
After all, it was a relationship that had lasted for so many years, so it wasn't easy to let go. Chu Yunqi was also entangled and said heavily, "Uncle, Jing Zhan and I may not be suitable."
Recalling how happy his son was when he was with Chu Yunqi and how heartbroken he was when they broke up, Zhou Wenxuan sincerely hoped that everything would go smoothly for the two of them.
But what happened seven years ago was that the Zhou family felt guilty towards Chu Yunqi, and Chu Yunqi could be said to have done it willingly, so it was impossible for him to say that he didn't love her.
Now that he has taken the initiative to break up, he must have really encountered difficulties. Zhou Wenxuan was also in a dilemma. He sighed deeply: "I know it's not easy for you all. Young people, don't be so impatient. If there is anything, take your time. Don't talk about breaking up easily. You know Jing Zhan's temper. He won't listen to anything I say now. I will talk to him later."
Zhou Jingzhan locked the door and sulked, and Chu Yunqi felt awkward staying in his house. Fortunately, his sister-in-law Liu Yue called him in time, and he went home early.
As soon as the guests left, Zhou Wenxuan turned around and pried open the door lock. Seeing his son crying, Zhou Wenxuan was furious and said, "Come down and eat. Only when you are full can you have the energy to cry."
At the dinner table, Zhou Jingzhan was in a bad mood.
Qin Huiping was both angry and distressed: "What did you quarrel about?"
Chu Yunqi cheated on his wife and then went out to have another affair.
Zhou Jingzhan couldn't even speak for such an absurd thing, he could only tell the root cause: "I wanted him to come back and stay with me, but he didn't."
Where does all this attachment come from? Qin Huiping thought he was being hypocritical, but her tone was still gentle: "You've all grown up. It's impossible for you to be inseparable like before."
Seven years ago, Chu Yunqi belonged to him completely, but he left and never came back. Zhou Jingzhan naturally felt a great sense of loss.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhou Wenxuan asked again: "Have you mentioned the child to Yunqi?"
Raising a child is not easy. Chu Yunqi's parents love each other but he has always been brooding over the shortcomings of his childhood. Until now, he has been paranoid and going against his family.
The shadow cast by Chu Yunqi's original family has cast a shadow on him. Apart from himself, the biggest victim is Zhou Jingzhan.
Chu Yunqi has been willful, stubborn, and extreme for so many years that Zhou Jingzhan has been deeply poisoned. Naturally, it is impossible for him to raise another Chu Yunqi.
Thinking of the horrific consequences, Zhou Jingzhan became more determined in his inner thoughts: "No, it's just the two of us, we're doing fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Wenxuan sighed in frustration, "Can you please stop being so naive? With the way you two keep breaking up, we're going to break up sooner or later."
Zhou Jingzhan had a stress reaction to the word "break up" and started to act unreasonable: "Don't you just want to hold your grandchildren? Don't say it like it's for my own good."
Zhou Wenxuan was so angry that his eyes went dark: "Your mother and I are already so old. We can't rely on our sons, but can't we hold our grandchildren?"
I don't know which words touched Zhou Jingzhan's sore spot, he couldn't even eat his meal: "Don't you have a daughter? Wait until you have a grandson."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Zhou Wenxuan with a turbulent heart.
Zhou Jingzhan closed the door and turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside.
Zhou Wenxuan continued to complain: "Listen to what he said. How can I harm him? I think he's just living too comfortably. He tried to make money without any money. He even quit his job just to have a relationship, and then tried to commit suicide after breaking up. What's the point of making a fuss with me if he doesn't try to save the relationship?"
Qin Huiping was more open-minded than him. She nonchalantly peeled an egg for him and soothed him, "He's been like this since he was a child. He's never suffered any hardship. You'd better calm down yourself than expect him to calm down."
Zhou Wenxuan could only turn his grief and anger into appetite for his unreliable son. He took Zhou Jingzhan's unfinished porridge and complained, "He's always bullying his way around."
Qin Huiping stopped talking and got down to business: "I'm having lunch with Liu Xun at noon. I'm going to find a way to get Jing Zhan over there."
Liu Xun, an important leader in the health system, is also Chu Yunqi's uncle and Liu Yue's cousin.
The Zhou family was restless all morning, and Chu Yunqi was not feeling much better either.
First, he explained the reason for his injury, and then he was ordered to go to his aunt's house with his brother and sister-in-law to pay New Year's greetings.
When his parents were not at home when he was a child, Chu Yunqi spent the most time with his aunt Chu Lan, besides Chu Jun.
Chu Lan has a son and a daughter. She went abroad to study when she was young and settled abroad when she grew up. Her husband is away from home all year round, so she treats Chu Yunqi as her own son.
As he grew older, Chu Yunqi learned some family matters.
Back then, Chu Lan had a boyfriend who was in love with her, but the class gap between them was insurmountable. So under the dual pressure of Chu Jun and Chu Shaobo, she had to marry Liu Xun, who was a well-matched man.
Not only was Chu Lan unwilling to get married, but soon after the marriage, Liu Xun's true nature was exposed, and he often indulged in wine and women outside.
Outsiders knew the truth, but Chu Lan saw through it but didn't say anything, so this marriage in name only lasted for decades.
His aunt became a victim of power under the pressure of his father. As a result, Chu Yunqi's dissatisfaction with Chu Shaobo grew day by day and intensified.
After arriving at the destination, Chu Yunqi chatted with Chu Lan alone, while the other three exchanged polite words with each other.
It was almost noon, and the three of them were about to go home. Liu Xun tried to persuade them to stay, saying, "Don't leave. Stay for dinner. Auntie is preparing it."
Chu Mingxu declined politely.
Liu Xun continued to argue: "Yunqi, you and your aunt are the closest. It's Chinese New Year, and your brothers and sisters haven't come back yet. Stay and accompany your aunt."
Seeing that Chu Lan also had the same idea, Chu Yunqi agreed.
Not long after the brother and sister-in-law left, the aunt and nephew were talking about their inner thoughts when Liu Xun came over and said, "We're having lunch with Lao Zhou at noon. His family is all there. Let's go together."
In the end, the dinner included three people from the Zhou family, three people from the Chu family, and Dean Su and his wife.
Zhou Jingzhan was deceived. He thought it was just a simple family meal, but when he saw Dean Su's car at the door, he turned around and left.
