Chapter 2 Why is the daughter-in-law in his bed?
His attitude made Zhou Zexi feel unhappy. As a son, he rarely challenged Zhou Jinbai. From childhood to adulthood, he had never done anything to make Zhou Jinbai unhappy.
He always listened to Zhou Jinbai in everything, but this time, Zhou Zexi refused to listen to anything he said.
"Su Li knows the nature of my job. Divorcing over something like this is ridiculous. When she was filming her own drama, she even filmed kissing and sex scenes with other male actors. Why didn't I blame her?"
Su Li felt both sad and ridiculous.
"Ever since I started getting good scripts, I haven't filmed kissing scenes with any man. You said you don't like it, so I won't film kissing scenes. I use a body double for everything. I put you first, but what about you, Zhou Zexi? Anyone can kiss your mouth. I'm not you, I can't do it."
Zhou Zexi rarely spoke loudly to Su Li, and when he heard her being aggressive, he became angry.
His voice was also filled with anger.
"So? You want to divorce me too, right? Su Li, you're my first woman. You know how I treat you! I'm just playing around with a girl, and you can't stand it?"
Su Li was so angry that she was speechless. She was not even good at quarreling. After hearing this, she was speechless. The tears that had been stopped with great difficulty rolled down her eyes again.
She didn't know what to say. This was at Zhou Zexi's house, and she didn't want to argue anymore. It was too ugly.
Su Li said nothing, clenched her fists, turned back to her room to get her suitcase. She couldn't stay in this disgusting place for a moment.
It was her fault for not seeing clearly what kind of person Zhou Zexi was. It was her fault for having an incurable love-sick brain attack. She deserved what she had today.
Su Li took out her suitcase and was about to leave, but the nanny and the housekeeper tried to stop her, and Zhou Zexi was still mocking her.
"When you wanted to marry into my family, you were so anxious. Now you're leaving without a second thought. Are you willing to give up this hard-earned life of luxury? If all the women in wealthy families were as petty as you, they'd be better off."
Su Li knew that the rules of survival in wealthy families were not to be taken too seriously, but she couldn't stand it.
She admitted that Zhou Zexi's family was wealthy and Zhou Jinbai was very valuable. Any other woman who married into the family would not want to be kicked out.
She also admitted that after marrying into the Zhou family, she lived a life of luxury and never lacked money. Even if Zhou Zexi didn't give her money, Zhou Jinbai would give her pocket money from time to time, often tens of millions, which was something she could never earn by acting.
In order to make up for the lack of a mother at home, Zhou Jinbai often reminded Zhou Zexi to give her pocket money, and she was very satisfied with this.
She also thought that she could live in such a family forever and not care about Zhou Zexi's behavior outside, but when these things really happened, she still couldn't stay calm.
Su Li felt that her crying was simply a medal of Zhou Zexi's victory. She tried hard to restrain herself and not let herself cry anymore. She wanted to proudly disappear from the sight of this father and son.
As soon as I pulled the suitcase out, I heard a crisp slap coming from the direction of the living room.
Su Li was frightened by the sound before she could stop sobbing.
She paused and looked over there, confused.
Zhou Jinbai's cold and indifferent voice came from the living room, "Did I teach you to cheat on your spouse, or did your teacher? Do you believe I can prevent you from taking even one step further in the entertainment industry?"
Zhou Zexi knelt on the floor of the living room, covering his face. His thin lips trembled several times, but he didn't say a word.
Zhou Jinbai sat there, like an unshakable mountain. "Back then, you said you wanted to get married. Fine, I agreed. As long as you truly loved someone, you could bring anyone home. You're my only son, so I'll accommodate you in everything. But now, Xiao Su hasn't done anything wrong, and everything is centered around you. And in the end, you're the one who cheated on me?"
Zhou Zexi gritted his teeth, anger pent up in his chest. He knew better than anyone that without Zhou Jinbai, he was nothing.
His money came from Zhou Jinbai, his connections also came from Zhou Jinbai, and even the fact that he was able to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry was all thanks to Zhou Jinbai's money.
Zhou Jinbai doted on him to the extreme. Others said that he did not look alike with Zhou Jinbai, but he did not take it seriously. Apart from his biological father, he did not think that there would be any stranger who could dote on him like this.
He was Zhou Jinbai's biological son, and he firmly believed it.
He is not afraid of anyone outside, but when he returns home, he has to behave himself. When he has done nothing wrong, although Zhou Jinbai's attitude towards him is cold, his words are full of inquiry and concern.
Even though he has been without a mother for all these years, he feels that he has never lacked love.
Zhou Jinbai had doted on him since he was a child, but even so, he was still afraid of Zhou Jinbai.
Zhou Jinbai started from scratch, and Zhou Zexi followed him all the way and witnessed his ups and downs. Zhou Jinbai's current net worth and achievements are all due to his good luck.
He was not well off when he was a child and had no idea where to eat. He remembers it very clearly. During the most difficult times, Zhou Jinbai even had to beg for food on the streets.
At that time, Zhou Zexi was in junior high school, and his self-esteem was at its strongest. When he met Zhou Jinbai on the road, Zhou Zexi pretended not to know him, but the next moment, he was crying alone in the corner, punching and kicking the wall. He was not crying about how hard his father was, but about why his father embarrassed him so much.
Why are other people's fathers so powerful and majestic, but his father is kneeling on the street begging for food.
Later, when he grew up, he realized how many humble things Zhou Jinbai had done to raise him. He even left all the delicious food for him and didn't eat it himself.
Even though he was starving, he still had to go to the construction site to carry bricks.
This is also the reason why even though Zhou Zexi behaved like a bad guy outside, he didn't dare to talk back to Zhou Jinbai when he got home.
Just like now, even though he was extremely angry, Zhou Jinbai's stern "kneel down" made his legs tremble uncontrollably and he could only kneel down obediently.
As soon as I looked up, I was greeted with a slap in the face by my father.
Zhou Jinbai's slap was particularly powerful. As a man who had done hard work when he was young, the strength in his palms had not diminished at all.
Zhou Zexi felt stars in his eyes, but he still didn't dare to speak.
When Su Li saw this scene, she felt surprised and scared. She usually didn't like getting along with Zhou Jinbai and always felt that he looked scary.
But now I saw him beating Zhou Zexi with my own eyes. Was it because of Zhou Zexi's cheating?
Su Li forgot what to say for a moment and stood there motionless, listening to Zhou Jinbai's cold and indifferent voice.
Is he teaching Zhou Zexi a lesson in order to make him repent?
But what if you repent? If this happens once, it will happen countless times.
Sure enough, Zhou Zexi began to admit his mistakes.
"I know I was wrong, Dad. You've beaten me and scolded me enough, but please don't let Su Li divorce me. I will definitely take care of myself in the future."
Zhou Jinbai asked him, "Do you think she will still trust you? If you can make her trust you again, then whether you divorce or not is your business and has nothing to do with me. But you are my son, so I have to teach you a lesson."
Zhou Zexi admitted his mistake and said, "I won't do it again, Dad."
Zhou Jinbai stood up and was about to leave. "I don't want to get involved in your affairs. You two should handle it yourselves."
As soon as I stood up, Su Li appeared with a suitcase. Her beautiful eyes looked determined.
She told Zhou Jinbai, "Dad, don't think about this anymore. I'm not that broad-minded. I can't watch my husband cheating and pretend nothing happened. I've packed my things and I'm leaving today."
Zhou Zexi wanted to stand up, "Su Li! Don't be so shameless!"
As soon as he raised one leg, he was frightened back by Zhou Jinbai's angry shout.
"Kneel!"
Zhou Zexi was so frightened that he could only kneel back down again.
Zhou Jinbai gestured to Jiang Wen, "Send the young mistress back to her parents' home."
Jiang Wen agreed, "Yes, sir."
Zhou Zexi finally lost his temper and said, "Su Li, if you leave today, don't ever come into my house again!"
Su Li turned a deaf ear and went out with her suitcase. Jiang Wen drove Zhou Jinbai's Porsche to take her back.
Su Li's family is average, with both parents working. Although she is not as well off as the rich, she is better off than the poor.
Her family is not as rich as Zhou Zexi's, but her parents are healthy, and she is an only child, so her parents spoil her.
When she insisted on marrying Zhou Zexi, she even had a fight with her parents.
Dad Su Quan said, "I knew at a glance that boy was not a good person and must be a playboy."
Mother Yu Luo said, "Zhizhi, when you marry someone, you can't just look at their appearance, you also have to consider their character. How long have you known him?"
Zhizhi is her nickname.
Su Li was so overwhelmed by love at the time that she even defended Zhou Zexi, saying, "He's just handsome at best, but he's actually a very nice person."
She admitted that during the year they were in love, Zhou Zexi was indeed a very good and competent boyfriend who noticed every detail and even her slightest emotions.
But this is only the third year of marriage, and he seems like a different person.
Or maybe he wasn't a different person, but he had always been like this, but she just didn't notice.
Her sudden return home left the two elders puzzled, but for them, their daughter's return home was a comfort.
Su Li didn't want to let the two elders know about her and Zhou Zexi, so she just said she would come back for two days.
After that, Zhou Zexi’s phone kept ringing.
Su Li didn't answer and later blocked him.
She decided to take a two-day break and then get a divorce.
As soon as she returned home, Zhou Zexi drove over.
It’s still the Bugatti that was on the hot search.
Su Li felt sick at the sight of it. Her parents were about to open the door for her, but Su Li couldn't help but show the trending news to them.
Her father, Su Quan, smoked one cigarette after another and asked her, "What do you think? If you don't want to forgive, I support you in getting a divorce. Your mother and I can support you."
When Su Li heard this, she cried even harder.
Her mother, Yu Luo, hugged her and comforted her, "Marriage is like this. There's no such thing as lifelong commitment. People turn a blind eye to each other and no one knows what their partner is like. Take your father, for example. I don't know what he's like outside, and I don't ask. If he really got into trouble under my nose, I would definitely not agree. Since he's done this under your nose, it's okay for us to get a divorce."
Su Li took a tissue and blew her nose. "I still like him, but I can't stand the fact that he always doesn't take me seriously. He would rather go out hunting for food than come home to see me. I want a divorce and don't want to get back together."
The two elders agreed with her decision. "If you feel wronged, then divorce him. I'll talk to his parents later. I thought rich people would behave better, but this is how he behaves. Zhou Jinbai was no good when he was young."
Su Li didn't answer, but she didn't care what Zhou Jinbai was like when he was young.
If it was a hobby, she wouldn't have given birth to Zhou Zexi at the age of fifteen.
Two days later, Su Quan and his wife took leave and took Su Li back to Zhou's house.
They called Zhou Jinbai in advance, but Zhou Jinbai did not go to work.
Zhou Zexi waited outside Su Li's house all night, but Su Li didn't change her mind, so he left.
Zhou Zexi was originally in the wrong in this matter, and Zhou Jinbai didn't say anything. When he heard Su's parents mention divorce, Zhou Jinbai expressed his understanding.
He also told the two elders, "Whatever is due to her will be given to her, and I will also make some compensation measures. I didn't raise my own son well, and that's my fault. I'm sorry for disappointing you two."
Su Quan is 52 years old, more than ten years older than Zhou Jinbai. Although it is only a dozen years, the difference is obvious.
Zhou Jinbai had just turned forty, and judging from his condition, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was thirty, but Su Quan already looked old.
As a scholar from a scholarly family, Su Quan didn't say anything too harsh.
"It's not your fault. When children grow up, their moral character depends entirely on themselves. How long can parents restrain them? It's a good thing we don't have children, otherwise I really don't know what to do. My daughter Zhizhi is still young, and she is secretly married to Mr. Zhou's son. Not many people know about this, which is a good thing for her."
Zhou Zexi was still kneeling. He didn't want a divorce. "Can't you give me another chance?"
Zhou Jinbai told him to shut up. "If you had known you would be so cowardly now, you shouldn't have done those things. Now that you have done it, you must bear the consequences."
The Su Quan couple didn't want to say anything more. Since Zhou Jinbai agreed to their divorce, they let Zhou Zexi sign the divorce agreement.
Su Li threw the divorce agreement to Zhou Zexi. Her heart still ached, but she would not do anything stupid again. After ending this marriage, perhaps she would live a better life.
Zhou Zexi has been dragging his feet and unwilling to sign the divorce agreement, but Su Li has left the Zhou family and will never come back.
The Zhou family villa seemed to become deserted in an instant. Zhou Zexi left after staying for a few days. Before leaving, he signed the divorce agreement and asked Zhou Jinbai to hand it over to Su Li.
Zhou Jinbai seemed unaffected. After looking at the divorce agreement for a long time, he asked Jiang Wen to call the young mistress, arrange a date, and get the divorce certificate.
Su Li was still out drinking with friends when she received Jiang Wen's call, congratulating her on escaping the grave of marriage.
Maybe it’s because I go back to the Zhou family so often that I’ve become accustomed to treating them as my home.
That night, after leaving the bar, her good friend Chen Xinyi asked her, "Where are you going? Should I take you home? You've drunk too much. What kind of man makes you so sad?"
Su Li drank too much and started crying and vomiting. Later, she calmed down and didn't say anything.
Shen Xinyi was really worried, "After all, you are a well-known actress. You drank like this. Fortunately, I am a kind-hearted person, otherwise you would be finished."
Su Li looked up at her, and her beautiful eyes made Shen Xinyi's heart clench. The key point was that Su Li was still smiling at her.
Chen Xinyi touched her face, really unable to figure it out, "What kind of vixen can make a man let you go? Tell me, is the other party a fairy from the Ninth Heaven who has come down to earth?"
Su Li's appearance is recognized as beautiful. If she wasn't good-looking, Zhou Zexi might not marry her.
When she later took on the role of the female lead, she was often scolded and became a hot topic. The most common criticisms were things like "she is good-looking but has no other merits" and "she is just a vase".
Even a vase has the dignity and efforts of a vase.
In the past two years, she has also used her strength to tell everyone that she is more than just a pretty face.
In fact, many people support her and Zhou Zexi, and always hope that she and Zhou Zexi can work together. The handsome man and beautiful woman are pleasing to the eyes.
In a corner that no one knew, she and Zhou Zexi were husband and wife, a legal couple with a marriage certificate.
But on the surface, they are not familiar with each other.
People who are not related at all.
It’s a bit ridiculous when you think about it.
Su Li rested her head on Shen Xinyi's shoulder, not saying a word. Shen Xinyi wanted to take her back to her home, but Su Li suddenly said in a daze, "Master, let's go to the Zhou family villa in Lingding Waterside."
Chen Xinyi was startled. "Lingding Waterside Zhou Family Villa? Hey, Xiao Su, wake up. Don't be drunk. That's a place that ordinary people can go."
The driver asked, "Are you sure?"
Su Li nodded vaguely, "Sure."
Shen Xinyi, “…”
The driver took them to the Zhou family villa. The bodyguard at the door asked who they were looking for. After Su Li got out of the car, she pushed Shen Xinyi away and said goodbye to her, "Bye Xinyi, see you tomorrow."
Shen Xinyi watched her enter the Zhou family villa without any hindrance and stood there in a daze for a long time.
Su Li was already out of sight, accompanied by security guards.
Shen Xinyi's face was a little speechless, and she asked the security guard at the door, "Just let her in now?"
The security guard said, "The young lady is back, so she must be allowed in."
Chen Xinyi was stunned, her eyes widened, "Young Madam? Su Li? No, who did she marry?"
When the security guard heard that this person knew nothing, he stopped talking and could only politely let them leave.
"The master will be back soon, please leave quickly. The master doesn't like to have strangers in the house."
“…”
Not long after Shen Xinyi walked out of the villa area, she saw a black Porsche entering the park. She didn't see the people in the car clearly, but she saw clearly the license plate number with a string of 8s.
Shen Xinyi watched the car enter the Zhou family villa.
If she remembered correctly, there was probably only one person in the entire capital who had such a grand appearance.
Beijing circle tycoon, Zhou Jinbai.
I heard that he is single and has a son.
So Su Li married Zhou Jinbai's son? And became the Zhou family's young mistress?
This discovery frightened Shen Xinyi, her good friend.
Her good friend Su Li has married into a wealthy family, but she is still working so hard to make money by filming?
This is such a big melon!
If this were to get out, Weibo would be paralyzed.
So exciting.
Su Li was drunk and had no idea where she was. After entering the room, the nanny asked her if she wanted to eat or take a bath, but she didn't say a word. She went back to her room and fell headfirst onto the bed.
It was a bit cold, so I pulled the quilt over, covered myself with it and fell asleep.
Zhou Jinbai didn't know that Su Li had returned, and no one told him. After dinner, he went into the bedroom to take a shower as usual, without turning on the bedroom light.
He went to the cloakroom to get a change of pajamas without even looking at the bed. After all, he lived alone and there was no way anyone was on the bed. Besides, generally speaking, no one dared to enter his room.
After taking a shower, he came out and sat on the edge of the bed in his pajamas, drying his hair as usual. As soon as he sat down, a pair of arms suddenly stretched out from behind him and hugged his waist.
Zhou Jinbai was so frightened that his body became stiff. He stopped wiping his hair and narrowed his cold eyes. He was ready to capture her. Just as he grabbed the hand that was holding his waist, he heard a familiar soft voice.
"Honey, you're back? I missed you so much. I just dreamed that we had a child. I'm pregnant."
“…”
When did she come back? Why was she in his bed?
