Chapter 334 Can I marry you?
Shu Xue pushed Zhou Yu away.
She reached out her hand and wiped her red lips, as if to wipe away Zhou Yu's scent. Zhou Yu's eyes were cold as he looked at Qin Yuan getting out of the car.
"Qin Yuan, I..."
Shu Xue was in the wrong and didn't know how to explain.
Qin Yuan looked at Zhou Yu and said, "Mr. Zhou, I'm leaving with my girlfriend."
Without asking any questions, he took Shu Xue's hand and got into the car.
It was as if he hadn't seen what happened just now at all.
Shu Xue was a little dazed.
She sat in the passenger seat and watched Qin Yuan start the car and slowly leave the bus stop. Zhou Yu's figure in the rearview mirror became increasingly distant, and her fingers fidgeted with her clothes nervously.
"Shuxue, do you have anything to say?"
Shu Xue lowered her head: "I'm sorry."
Qin Yuan said coldly, "That Mr. Zhou from Tianyuan Group has a bad reputation and is a well-known playboy. I admit that he is richer than me, handsome and popular with girls, but he is just playing with you."
He slammed on the brakes and pulled the car to the side of the road.
Shu Xue almost hit her head due to inertia, and the sudden brake made her feel nauseous.
"Have you ever slept together?" His eyes were filled with disdain and disgust.
Shu Xue pursed her lips tightly.
Qin Yuan said mockingly, "Looks like you slept with me. If I hadn't come today, how long would you have to wear this green hat?"
Shu Xue explained softly, "Qin Yuan, we're just in contact and haven't confirmed our relationship yet. The parents of both sides just wanted to have a chat over dinner, not to say we're engaged. If you feel it's not suitable, we can break up."
She did that on purpose to anger Zhou Yu.
Qin Yuan frowned tightly: "Do you have a conscience when you say such things? The elders of both sides kindly introduced us to each other, and their years of friendship will be ruined in your hands. I will go back and tell them that you cheated on me and that you have someone else outside, so we are not suitable for each other?"
Shu Xue gritted her teeth, not knowing what to say.
"Shuxue, I can pretend I didn't see anything about this. You're not young anymore at 27, and your parents are worried about your marriage. I hope you can be sensible. I'll bring up the engagement at the dinner next week. Please stop associating with Zhou Yu from now on, okay?"
Shu Xue raised her eyes and glanced at him, surprised that he would choose to ignore her.
She was indeed driven crazy by her family's pressure to get married.
So, he nodded slowly.
Qin Yuan reached out and took out a wet towel and wiped her red lips clean.
"You and Zhou Yu are not the same kind of people. You come from an ordinary family, and we are from the same world." Qin Yuan suppressed his anger. "You said you were going to take a red wine bath with Mrs. Huo tonight, so I asked you to come."
He threw the tissue aside and said, "Our company has a cooperative project with Huo's recently. Don't offend her."
Shu Xue leaned on the passenger seat, feeling helpless, and replied, "I understand."
She remembered what Zhou Yu said, that Qin Yuan wanted her because she was young and beautiful, and because she had a good relationship with Qiao Xi, which would help him advance his career.
But she also wanted Qin Yuan to marry her, and he was a son-in-law that both her parents would be satisfied with.
She couldn't bear to disappoint her parents, so she could only get along with Qin Yuan.
But why do you have to get married?
Shu Xue looked down at her phone and saw a text message pop up from Zhou Yu.
He said: Qin Yuan must have forgiven you. No man can tolerate cuckolding unless he doesn't love you.
A surge of irritation welled up in Shu Xue's heart.
Why should her life follow his script? Zhou Yu seemed to be in control of the overall situation and could guess everyone's thoughts.
He watched her compromise between family affection and marriage, as if he was an outsider mocking her.
See, this is what happens when you get married! It's not necessarily any better!
Shu Xue was extremely angry. She opened her phone screen and immediately deleted all of Zhou Yu's contact information!
Let’s stop here!
…
late at night.
A private five-star hotel in Haicheng.
Xiang Mingzhu, dressed in a well-dressed outfit, was waiting in the lobby. She saw the hotel's revolving door open and a young man in a suit and tie, exuding a refined demeanor, approaching. She quickly went to greet him.
"Mr. Zhong."
She lifted her hair and said with a smile, "We met last time at the cocktail party in the imperial capital."
Zhong Shao's expression was indifferent: "Who are you?"
Xiang Mingzhu's expression almost broke. "I'm Xiang Mingzhu, and Xiang Huai is my brother. You even gave up a project for our family because of Xiang Huai. He brought this upon himself and should be punished by law. We, the Xiang family, are truly embarrassed to have to trouble you to give up a project."
Zhong Shao's expression was as beautiful as a painting, and he said lightly, "If you are so sorry, just return the project to the Xiang family."
Xiang Mingzhu's face froze.
It is rumored that Mr. Zhong is very easy to talk to, so why is he so sharp-tongued?
She laughed dryly twice: "I am a junior and cannot make this decision."
"Then get out of the way."
"Mr. Zhong! Actually... actually, it's my cousin Lu Yingxue who wants to ask when you will return to the imperial capital. Do you have anything else to do in Haicheng?" Xiang Mingzhu asked tentatively.
My cousin said that Master Zhong seemed to attach great importance to Haicheng and asked her to keep an eye on him at all times.
Zhong Shao's eyes turned cold: "You cousins are so nosy?"
Xiang Mingzhu smiled and said, "After all, the old man of the Zhong family intended for my cousin to marry you. We will soon be a family. When you returned to the Zhong family seriously injured, it was my cousin who took care of you personally. I believe your relationship must be very deep."
Zhong Shao laughed, looked at her and said, "What if... I said I'm more interested in you? Lu Yingxue is too old. I don't like anyone older than me."
Xiang Mingzhu was stunned for a moment by his affectionate eyes, and her cheeks flushed involuntarily. But she still said, "How can I compare to my cousin?"
Zhong Shao said jokingly, "But you are younger than her. Can I talk to the Xiang family and ask them to marry you?"
"this……"
Xiang Mingzhu is quick-witted.
If she married into the Zhong family, she would be able to overthrow Lu Yingxue. Both the Xiang and Lu families would be proud of her. Then... she had many fantasies in her mind.
Zhong Shao looked at her shy and timid eyes, sneered and shook his head.
"Are you really still daydreaming? Aren't you afraid that Lu Yingxue will eat you?"
Wan Jiang, who was beside Zhong Shao, burst out laughing and covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing too exaggeratedly.
Xiang Mingzhu stood there feeling extremely embarrassed, her face turning pale and blue.
He...he was actually teasing her!
It made her heart really beat!
"Xiang Mingzhu. To be honest, you are much cuter than Lu Yingxue. If you can beat Lu Yingxue in this needle testing competition, I will consider marrying you."
Xiang Mingzhu's mind was repeatedly pulled by him, and she didn't have time to think: "Are you serious?"
Young Master Zhong pulled out a dragon and phoenix hollowed-out wedding pendant from his suit and tossed it to her: "This is a token of the marriage between the Zhong and Lu families. Your last name is Xiang, but you're still half a Lu family member. If you have the ability, you can replace Lu Yingxue."
Having said that, Zhong Shao walked around her and moved forward.
It beat against Mingzhu's heart as she held the warm wedding pendant.
This is a token of the marriage between the two families! She had seen Lu Yingxue carefully place the other phoenix pendant in her jewelry box, and would wear it on important occasions to show her status.
Xiang Mingzhu looked at Zhong Shao's back, which was as graceful as a bamboo. His smart and handsome eyebrows were still vaguely swaying in front of her eyes.
The idea of becoming the young lady of the Zhong family grew in her heart!
Overwhelm Lu Yingxue?
She had the same idea when she was young, but Lu Yingxue was too outstanding.
But is there nothing she can do?
Everything depends on human effort. She was unwilling to accept that only her cousin was praised by everyone!
…
Zhong Shao and Wan Jiang walked to the elevator entrance.
Wan Jiang hesitated and looked at him, wanting to say something but unable to.
Zhong Shao had a playful look on his face, a hint of impatience: "If you have to fart, just fart."
