Chapter 30 It seems as if the person is being rubbed into the bones and blood.
When she was still the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, Su Li felt that there might be something wrong with her just by looking at Zhou Jinbai, let alone entering his bedroom. At that time, Zhou Jinbai was as cold as ice, and he looked at everyone as if they were lowly dogs. Su Li once felt that Zhou Jinbai was not satisfied with her as his daughter-in-law.
She could only bury all her complaints in her heart, not daring to tell Zhou Zexi. Later, she occasionally mentioned Zhou Jinbai's attitude towards her, and Zhou Zexi told her not to let her imagination run wild. He said, "My dad is like that. He's always cold and indifferent to everyone. If he really didn't like you, he would have kicked you out the day I brought you home."
Su Li felt relieved after hearing what Zhou Zexi said. Later, Zhou Jinbai gave her red envelopes during festivals. Although there were no extra words, Su Li felt that he did not hate her as his daughter-in-law, so she felt relieved.
Although Zhou Jinbai treated her coldly, Su Li still called him "Dad" wherever she met him. She thought he was a cold-hearted person, but she never expected that there was a fire burning in his heart, which no one had ever discovered, and he only gave it to Su Li.
I used to think Zhou Jinbai was scary, but now I think he is adorable. Su Li just realized that when you really like someone, even his serious expression becomes inexplicably attractive.
Just like now, he was in his own bed, his mind completely distracted by Su Li's seduction, yet he still had to keep a cold face and softly warn her, "Dinner will be over soon. Jiang Wen saw you come in. We've been in here for so long. How are you going to let him see me?"
Su Li said deliberately, "What are you afraid of? If I marry you, I will still be the wife of the Zhou family. You can't hide me forever, right?"
Zhou Jinbai took advantage of the situation and held her in his arms, "Then marry me and get the marriage certificate first."
Su Li loved to tease him, "Let's talk about it when I want to get married."
Zhou Jinbai was helpless. "Let's go out for dinner. I'll go see if this rebellious son has left first."
Su Li thought for a moment and nuzzled into his arms, "Don't help him. Why should you be the one doing everything for him? You've done a good job raising him, and he still uses you for everything."
Zhou Jinbai assured her, "I won't care. I'm too busy with my own affairs to care about him. I've given him everything I deserve, and it's time for me to live for myself."
Su Li nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, Uncle Zhou should live for himself and be happy from now on."
Zhou Jinbai looked at her expression for a few seconds, then lowered his head and held her lips, "I live for you. You are my only hope in the future."
Su Li held his lips obediently, kissing him delicately and lingeringly, "Who asked you to live for me? I want you to live for yourself."
As they were kissing passionately, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Wen's voice came from outside the bedroom suite, "Master, the young master has left. Lunch is ready."
Zhou Jinbai finally let go of her lips and said, "Eat, and I'll take you wherever you want to go this afternoon."
Su Li got out of bed and put on her shoes. "Butler Jiang is as tactful as ever. He saw me come in and was afraid that I wouldn't dare to leave, so he even specifically announced that the young master had left."
Zhou Jinbai waited for her to put on her shoes, then reached out and pulled her up. "Then how else could he have become the housekeeper of the Zhou residence? Without that kind of tact, how could he have been my confidant?"
Su Li said, "Uncle Zhou is really good at choosing people."
Zhou Jinbai took her hand and went out. Jiang Wen stood at the door, glanced at their hands, looked at them, said nothing, and led the way.
Su Li felt uncomfortable, broke free from his hand, followed him to the restaurant.
Today's lunch has been set on the table. There is the Wellington steak that Su Li wanted to eat, and the crab roe noodles full of crab roe that you can't get anywhere else.
Su Li asked Zhou Jinbai in surprise, "How did you know I like this? To be honest, the crab roe noodles out there are not only expensive but also don't have much crab roe. This bowl is full of crab roe."
The dishes on the table were also very exquisite, but the food in the Zhou family's house was usually like this. Although Su Li had not stayed in the Zhou family for a long time, the food in the Zhou family was indeed very tasty.
I haven't eaten the same thing since my divorce: familiar place, familiar food, and familiar people.
It was as if she had never left the Zhou family.
Seeing that she loved eating, Zhou Jinbai said in a clear and cold voice, "I'll transfer the chef to your place later."
Su Li quickly stopped him, "No, no, I only stay at home for a few days throughout the year, don't bother me."
Jiang Wen poured her a bowl of soup and placed it next to her, fearing that she would choke.
Su Li glanced at Jiang Wen and saw that there was no emotion in his eyes. She deliberately joked, "Butler Jiang, why don't you ask me why I came back?"
Jiang Wen glanced at Zhou Jinbai and nodded slightly. "It's only natural that the young mistress wants to return to the Zhou family. The master said you're welcome to come back anytime."
Zhou Jinbai lowered his head to eat, ignoring their conversation, but Su Li asked quietly, "Were you also wondering why I went to the master's room?"
Zhou Jinbai then looked up at her and said, "Lizhi, eat. Do you still want to live in peace?"
Su Li said, "I'm afraid he'll ask you."
Zhou Jinbai said, "He won't ask me."
Su Li, "..."
Indeed, Jiang Wen would never question Zhou Jinbai's actions, otherwise he would not have become the Zhou family's housekeeper.
Since Zhou Jinbai brought Su Li back, there must be a reason for it. He guessed it, but he would not ask or tell anyone about it.
However, the servants in the house were very curious as to why Su Li came back with Zhou Jinbai. The nannies and aunts were the most gossipy, but they could not guess that Su Li and Zhou Jinbai were together.
In the eyes of all the servants, Zhou Jinbai didn't seem like the type of person who would mess around with his ex-daughter-in-law. Even if they thought about it, they couldn't do that, as it would be blasphemous to him.
But such a person is actually with his ex-daughter-in-law and can't let her go.
After dinner, Zhou Jinbai sent Su Li away from the Zhou residence. When Jiang Wen was cleaning up the Zhou house, he heard several nannies talking about Zhou Jinbai and Su Li.
"It's really strange. Why did the master come back with the young mistress? And even have dinner together? The young master left early and brought back that girl. She's so pretty."
"Young Master is very lucky. The women around him are all very beautiful. Judging from the looks of it, he's probably going to have a new mistress. But why isn't the former mistress angry?"
"Their relationship makes me so confused, I don't understand it."
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Even the mere sight of the Master is blasphemous, let alone associating him with something like that. Perhaps the Young Mistress came to see the Young Mistress and happened to see him bringing a woman home, so she hid herself."
"The rich are really playing tricks. It hasn't been long since the divorce, and they've already brought a new bride home. But the master doesn't like it. I heard him say that the young master should die outside and never come back."
"When the young mistress and the young master got married, he didn't say a word. What happened this time?"
"I guess she doesn't like it. The girl is pretty, but she lacks taste. She doesn't have the grandeur of a young lady."
"The young mistress is truly stunning. If she becomes extremely famous in the future, I don't know how she will attract people."
After listening for a while, Jiang Wen interrupted their discussion.
"Don't discuss the master's family affairs at home. If he hears, everyone will be fired."
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
It’s not that he was afraid of Zhou Jinbai, but he was afraid that this high-paying job would be away from him at any time.
The affairs of the Zhou family were not busy, but even the lowest-paid security guard could earn around 10,000 yuan a month, which was easy and comfortable.
In order to promote Yang Enru, Zhuo Yu got the endorsement of a high-end cosmetics brand that fell on Su Li.
Su Li has been busy dating Zhou Jinbai these days and has not paid attention to the company's developments until a call from Zhang Qingchi ended her immersive vacation.
Su Li thought Zhang Qingchi had accepted another script for her, but this time it was not a script, but a brand endorsement for high-end cosmetics. The spokespersons chosen by this brand in the past were all top-tier celebrities. The previous spokesperson was Zhu Caiqing, a dual-role actress with both good reputation and strength.
A talented actress who won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress at the age of 24. After learning about Zhu Caiqing's life, I realized what it means to be chased by God and fed by God.
She became famous when she debuted at the age of 15. She worked hard and diligently. Geniuses are often much more talented than ordinary people.
Unfortunately, a wave of public opinion ruined her last year. It seemed that she had cheated on a male actor during her marriage, so she terminated her contract with the brand. The brand has never found a spokesperson in the Asia-Pacific region.
A high-end product has more than one spokesperson, but this brand previously had only one spokesperson, Zhu Caiqing, in the entire Asia-Pacific region.
A grassroots actor like Su Li probably wouldn't be able to get such an endorsement even if he tried for ten years. Even an old fox and ace agent like Zhuo Yu had to look at many people's eyes in order to get this endorsement, but the key is that people haven't given him a chance yet.
As a result, the endorsement fell on Su Li. Su Li was inexplicably hit by the pie and was a little confused for a moment.
Zhang Qingchi's voice sounded even more excited than hers. "You have to take this endorsement. It's a resource so many people would fight to get. I heard that our rival, Lao Zhuo, has been negotiating for this endorsement but hasn't been able to get it. They specifically said they only need one general spokesperson for the Asia-Pacific region, and the price is high."
Su Li asked uncertainly, "Why would such a brand choose me? Am I really that famous?"
Zhang Qingchi said, "No matter how famous you are, the official general agent for the Asia-Pacific region came to the company today to review your resume and life story. Without further ado, they immediately started discussing cooperation matters. They need to meet you first. I think you'll have a meeting with the brand's general manager in the next two days. Find a reliable male companion. I'll notify you if there's any movement. Remember to dress respectfully."
Su Li, "..."
Su Li thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure out what attracted the brand to her. She wasn't very popular, not even pink.
After thinking for a long time, I thought of Zhou Jinbai and what Zhou Zexi said to Zhou Jinbai at Zhou's house that day.
Zhuo Yu probably wanted to get this resource to support Yang Enru, but unfortunately he was unable to do so due to his limited ability, so Zhou Zexi went home to beg his father.
But Zhou Jinbai refused to help, and Su Li also asked him not to help. In a blink of an eye, the endorsement fell on Su Li. Su Li's heart twitched, and she almost thought that Zhou Jinbai probably negotiated this resource to her.
I have to say that our Uncle Zhou is very busy. Not only does he have to take care of his own company, he even takes on the job of Su Li's agent.
How could his network of contacts be so extensive?
For the first time, Su Li felt Zhou Jinbai's power. If the resources for "The Merchant Daughter of the Qin Family" were obtained because Lin Youqin liked him, then what about this time?
The entire Asia-Pacific region only needs the resources of one spokesperson, and he can also negotiate to get it?
How many people does Zhou Jinbai know?
Su Li sighed in her heart, it turns out that rich old men are different from poor old men.
Su Li was too lazy to ask him and just sent him a WeChat message.
[Old Zhang asked me to find a reliable male companion to meet with the brand, but does our Uncle Zhou dare to meet anyone?]
Zhou Jinbai replied after a while.
[I'm not going. Let Jiang Wen go with you.]
【……】
[It's not convenient for me to show up, so just be good, behave yourself, and then wait for the money.]
【Old Zhou, you are a little outrageous. 】
How outrageous?
[Such a big endorsement deal? What if they don't like me?]
[Who dares not to like the person I like? ]
【……】
[Relax, no one will know I won, you just need to perform well.]
Su Li didn't know what to say. She could only prepare clothes and jewelry for the meeting.
She thought Zhou Jinbai was wasting his time, so she didn't call him. But Zhou Jinbai came to Jiangshan Film Studio to find her that afternoon and said that he would not be working tomorrow and was going out to buy clothes for Su Li.
Su Li was still cooking in the kitchen. When he came in, she just glanced at her and asked him to wait a moment.
He didn't go to the restaurant, but came to the kitchen to watch Su Li cook.
Su Li asked him, "Are you really not busy tomorrow?"
Zhou Jinbai hugged her from behind and said, "I'm busy, but your business is more important. I'll help you choose a dress tomorrow, and let Jiang Wen accompany you to the meeting the day after tomorrow."
Su Li felt a little unhappy, "Uncle Zhou is just not good enough to be seen."
Zhou Jinbai put his slightly cold lips on the tip of her ear and kissed her, "Well, it's shameful to see me. You have to hide me well."
Su Li nodded and said, "Hide it well, hide our omnipotent Uncle Zhou well, so that no one can take it away."
Zhou Jinbai chuckled, "Now you know I'm popular?"
Su Li stirred the pork rib soup in the pot without distraction. "I always knew you were popular. Who doesn't like rich people? I like them too."
Zhou Jinbai asked, "How much do you like it?"
Su Li's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended to be calm. "I don't really like it, but the previous spokesperson for this brand was the once-famous Zhu Caiqing. She was so confused, I feel sorry for her."
Zhou Jinbai lowered his head and kissed her neck randomly. Su Li nudged him with her elbow and said, "Stop it, I'm cooking."
Zhou Jinbai whispered, "That's a pity indeed. She was already targeted when her secret marriage was exposed. I didn't expect she would still cheat on her husband."
Su Li couldn't understand, "Why don't you break up if you don't love each other anymore? Why do you have to cheat? It's so ugly."
Zhou Jinbai's voice was cold and deep. "After marriage, many things are beyond your control, especially for women. It's easy to get married, but difficult to get divorced. So you should think carefully before getting married. Don't let others ruin the flower I carefully nurtured. Zhu Caiqing was abused by her husband during their marriage, and he refused to divorce. She probably cheated because she couldn't stand the torture. But in the end, she was wrong. Others don't care about the process of making mistakes, they only care about the results."
Su Li could only sigh when she heard this.
Zhou Jinbai opened her cheek and kissed her, "Lizhi, you don't have to get married, but you must open your eyes before falling in love. All men in this world are beasts in human form, including me."
Su Li turned around and looked at him, "Should I stay away from you?"
He thought for a moment, "Not at the moment."
Su Li said nothing more and urged him to go to the restaurant to wait for dinner.
Who else could she like? When she realized that she liked Zhou Jinbai, she wanted to stay away from him and cut off the ties.
But when they got closer, he realized how much she longed for his embrace.
Even if we can't see the light, I want to stay with him for a while longer.
Many relationships don’t mean everything will be fine just by sleeping together. In fact, it’s not like that.
There are thousands and thousands of couples in this world, and many of them go from being in love to being tired of each other.
Some extreme cases will even kill their significant other. It all starts with emotion.
She wanted to be more rational about her relationship with Zhou Jinbai, but as time went by, she became more and more dependent on Zhou Jinbai.
When she was in love with Zhou Zexi, she would miss him, but she didn't want to depend on him.
But during the time she was with Zhou Jinbai, she seemed to have found a support and wanted to rely on him all the time.
Su Li knew that this was not the right thing to do, but she couldn't control herself. As long as Zhou Jinbai was within her sight, she would stick to him and not let go.
Even Zhou Jinbai said, "You know, you suddenly become very clingy. I used to have a stray cat, and it was like this on me every day."
Su Li asked him, "Don't you like it? If you don't like me, go stick to other men."
How could Zhou Jinbai not like him? He had already understood this guy's character thoroughly.
When she doesn't stick to him, it means she is wary of him, so she doesn't want to stick to him.
Now that she is willing to stick to him, she probably likes him a little bit.
Zhou Jinbai saw through it but didn't say anything, and was happy to coax her.
Su Li has very good skin. As a female celebrity who pays great attention to skin care, she seems to have no blemishes on her body.
Glowing white.
Every time Zhou Jinbai hugged her, he felt like he was holding a piece of work of art.
The work of art hummed and cried beneath him, pestering him for it.
He just felt what it meant to be a man.
When taking a bath with her that night, Zhou Jinbai used his hands to measure the size of her breasts.
She is not fat, but her breasts are full, round and smooth, with a very regular shape.
Zhou Jinbai sat in the bathtub, Su Li was on top of him, the foam of shower gel covering her red fruit.
Zhou Jinbai's cold eyes turned sticky and moist, "You can't wear a strapless dress."
Su Li asked why, and Zhou Jinbai took a deep breath to suppress the throbbing in his heart, "I don't want others to see it, only me can see it."
Su Li touched his slightly cold earlobes with both hands, and breathed softly, "Uncle Zhou is being overbearing. You've already eaten, and you're still jealous of others."
Zhou Jinbai pushed her all the way down, and Su Li hissed in discomfort.
Zhou Jinbai's eyes were gloomy and cold. "When facing you, I can never remain calm and be myself. I get angry when others' eyes linger on you for even a second."
Su Li found it funny, "If I end up with someone else, won't you be mad to death?"
Zhou Jinbai suddenly exerted force with his big hands and hugged her in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood. Su Li frowned in pain.
Zhou Jinbai's voice came from his ear, "Then I won't see you again. I hope you are happy, but I don't want to see you happy in someone else's arms."
Before Su Li could say anything, Zhou Jinbai suddenly increased his strength and pinned her down tightly.
The thing that was not so fierce originally suddenly turned into a sharp blade that could chisel rocks. She felt herself being chiseled deeper and deeper by it.
Su Li whimpered, "I was just saying it casually, why did you suddenly go crazy? Wuwu, Uncle Zhou, I was wrong, I won't say it again."
Zhou Jinbai took a breath and said, "Lizhi, call me husband."
