Chapter 75 Calm down, little thing, it will break.
Su Li didn't quite understand what he was talking about. She had recently searched a lot of news and information about the Zhou family. From everyone's analysis, it seemed that Zhou Jinbai was beyond saving this time.
Some people analyzed the reasons for his bankruptcy, and found that it was mainly because Zhou Zexi's drug addiction was caused after it was revealed that he was his son. Everyone hates drugs. Zhou Zexi was once a top star and had shares in Zhou Group. This was the reason for the decline of Zhou Group's stock market.
But everyone thinks that even if the stock market falls and the market value evaporates, it will not cause a company to go bankrupt overnight. Some people analyzed that Zhou Jinbai must have affected the interests of some bigwigs, so he was framed. It is estimated that a series of reactions were caused by someone starting to indiscriminately sell Zhou's shares.
Although Su Li had never been involved in the financial and business circles and could not understand many of the comments, she could still understand some easy-to-understand texts, such as the Zhou family's shares being sold indiscriminately and whose interests Zhou Jinbai had affected.
She had never dared to ask Zhou Jinbai, fearing that at this point, it would add another scar to Zhou Jinbai's heart. She didn't want to force Zhou Jinbai to death. As long as he was alive, everything was still possible.
She had already decided that after Zhou Jinbai declared bankruptcy, they would move out of the large flat and sell it to Zhou Jinbai to help pay off his debts. She had prepared for the worst.
She still has some balance in her account, and if she asks her parents to lend her some, she should be able to fill the gap. Of course, her behavior is not advisable. She also knows that it is very dangerous to do this for a man. If something goes wrong, everyone will be doomed.
But in her eyes, Zhou Jinbai is worth her doing this. If it were someone else, she doesn't know whether it is worth it.
Zhou Jinbai also advised her not to be too impulsive and to leave a way out for herself, but she thought about it and realized that if something happened to Zhou Jinbai, what way out would she have? She had no way out.
Love is not everything to her. She can still live without Zhou Jinbai, but she may spend the rest of her life in depression and she will never be happy again.
She didn't want to lose Zhou Jinbai, who loved her so much, so she tried her best to help him pay off his debts. She also thought that after giving birth to the child, she would continue acting and take any role as long as she could make money.
As a result, Zhou Jinbai came back today and hugged her and said that it seemed that they didn’t have to go bankrupt anymore.
Su Li patted his shoulder and asked him to put her down. "Talk nicely. Stop turning around. I'm dizzy."
Zhou Jinbai put her down and helped her sit on the sofa. She looked obviously relaxed, no longer as sad as she had been in the past few days.
Su Li asked curiously, "What's going on? Tell me, why don't you go bankrupt anymore? Why are things starting to get better?"
Zhou Jinbai took a deep breath and explained to her, "Didn't I tell you before that Zhao Jinqiang was influencing Zhou's stock market? He's the one who saved us this time. He's a good man who knows right from wrong. The reason he sold off my Zhou's shares and caused the market to crash was because someone was behind it. I won't tell you who that person was. Anyway, I went to his house that night and explained it to him. He listened and he still trusted me. It was probably because of Zhou Zexi's drug use that he thought I was involved, so he did this in a fit of rage. But I don't blame him at all."
Su Li sighed, "Actually, everyone has their own reasons, and I understand. He lost his most beloved junior to drugs, so it's understandable that he hates you and Zhou Zexi. He also listened to your explanation, which shows that he has a clear sense of right and wrong. So, can the company operate normally now?"
Zhou Jinbai nodded. "Maybe I've been a little busy lately. I'll be working overtime, so I won't be able to come back early to accompany you. Don't let your mind wander at home. The biggest difficulty is over, and the road ahead will definitely be smooth."
Su Li responded, "I'm fine. As long as you're fine, I'll be fine too. But you have so much debt, when will you pay it off?"
Zhou Jinbai assured her, "Two years at most. Zhao Jinqiang has invested another 200 billion yuan, and Hou Jiangyong has also invested 100 billion yuan. Seeing that the major shareholder has changed his mind, the other shareholders have also come forward. At least the bank's debt can be paid on time. The rest depends on Zhou's performance. You have given me this opportunity, so I promise to make Zhou's business back on track in a short time. And Lizhi, do you know that my charity work over the years has not been in vain? Some of the children who have benefited from my kindness are now in various fields of work. They have bought small shares of Zhou and wrote to me, which is the icing on the cake."
Su Li looked into his eyes for a long time and smiled. "So how can doing good things go unrewarded? They must also feel that because there are good people like you in the world, there is hope and expectation for them to live. I really didn't choose the wrong man. Uncle Zhou, you are an exceptional person."
Zhou Jinbai looked down at her and said, "I later had the idea of doing charity because of a little girl."
Su Li was curious, "What little girl do you care so much about?"
Zhou Jinbai smiled and stroked her hair. "Because when I was having the hardest time and feeling the worst, she gave me a little hope. At that time, I thought, if I had such a sensible daughter, I would definitely work harder."
Su Li said, "Oh, then it seems that Uncle Zhou really wants a daughter?"
Zhou Jinbai pulled her into his arms and kissed her hair. "I love all the children you gave birth to, but I'm most grateful that you came to my side. I feel like you're my lucky star. Just like this time, I thought I was going to die, but there was a turn for the better."
Su Li retorted, "No, you earned it all yourself. Good karma brings good results. You've done so many good things, and everyone can see it."
Zhou Jinbai felt much better. "You will continue to be the wife of a wealthy family. Leave the rest to your husband. You are responsible for being happy, okay?"
Su Li was of course happy to do so. She hugged him and rubbed him for a while. "Okay, as long as you're okay, I'll be happy. After going through this disaster, I think as long as the people I care about are alive and well, and we can still be together, without any illness or disaster, that's great."
Zhou Jinbai agreed, "What others say is their business. How we live is our own business. Let them say what they want. You don't have to care. Those who understand you will always be with you."
Su Li's mood also improved. "Yeah, that's great. My Uncle Zhou made it through. He's amazing."
She leaned over and kissed him on the lips, "My husband is amazing."
Zhou Jinbai stood up and carried her to the kitchen. "Let's go cook for my wife and baby. We have to work overtime after dinner. Qin Yu has been living in the company recently. I came back because I have a wife. Otherwise, I would have lived in the company too."
Su Li disagreed, "No, I can't sleep if you don't come back. You have to coax me to sleep."
Zhou Jinbai responded, "No matter how busy I am, I have to come back to accompany you. Sometimes I will be late, so you can eat by yourself. If you don't want to cook, go out to eat. Don't go hungry, okay?"
Su Li responded, "Okay."
After hearing that Zhou Jinbai no longer had to be in debt, Su Li felt much better.
She went for prenatal checkups by herself and did not disturb Zhou Jinbai. Now that Zhou Jinbai has come back to life and needs him a lot, Su Li went for the prenatal checkups by herself.
She had an ultrasound more than a month into her pregnancy. The initial blood test only showed she was pregnant, but the numbers were very low. The doctor said that an ultrasound could not be done for the time being and no results could be found, so he asked her to wait a month before talking again.
A month later, Zhou Jinbai was too busy, so she went there by herself and also had a channel B-ultrasound to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.
It was my first pregnancy, and luckily all the obstetricians and gynecologists were women, but it was still socially devastating.
Su Li is very healthy. After completing all these procedures and finding no problems, she went home and took some folic acid to ensure the healthy development of the fetus.
The doctor also advised her to pay attention to a series of reactions such as morning sickness, and Su Li agreed.
Now that she is no longer worried about Zhou Jin getting white hair, she often searches the Internet for questions related to pregnancy.
For example, she wanted to know when morning sickness would start. The internet said it was around 6 weeks, which is about 42 days. Su Li calculated her own time and it seemed to be about the same.
She was prepared for morning sickness, but found that after that point in time, she didn't show any signs of morning sickness. As a first-time mother, she was a little confused and searched for questions about morning sickness.
Netizens offered many answers, with the most-liked reply being: "No morning sickness is good. It means your husband is in good health. If a man doesn't have bad habits, doesn't smoke or drink, his partner generally won't have severe morning sickness. My husband is like that; he doesn't smoke or drink, and I never had morning sickness at all. He's very healthy. Finding a healthy man is so important."
Someone else suggested: [I advise women to get a premarital checkup before marriage, and have men get tested for four infectious diseases. My husband and I were married after six years, and I thought we'd be fine after such a long time together, so I skipped the checkup. But when I was pregnant, he developed genital warts, and the test revealed a high-risk viral infection. It really scared me, ladies! I thought I'd lose the pregnancy.]
A netizen responded: [High-risk genital warts can only be transmitted sexually. Is your husband really okay, sister? I suggest you get tested for HIV and syphilis. I wish you good luck in getting pregnant.]
After reading these replies, Su Li's heart skipped a beat. She didn't have a premarital medical examination when she married Zhou Zexi, nor did she have a premarital medical examination when she married Zhou Jinbai.
However, when he was with Zhou Zexi, he always wore a condom, and Su Li breathed a sigh of relief.
As for Zhou Jinbai, she felt that Zhou Jinbai was very clean. A man who had sex at the age of 40 and did not do anything promiscuous in private, Su Li felt that there was nothing wrong with him.
He just smokes, but other than that, everything else is fine.
However, he rarely smoked at home. When he did, he would stay away from her. She didn't have to say anything deliberately. He would just hide and smoke so that she wouldn't see him.
Although she did not ask her husband to undergo a premarital medical examination when they got married, she felt that what netizens said was right. Now the most romantic thing for women is not roses, but a clean premarital medical examination report.
A man who has a good body and is free of any viruses is the best confession he can make to his partner.
When Zhou Jinbai came back in the evening, Su Li told Zhou Jinbai about these things. Speaking of the marriage examination, Su Li felt that Zhou Jinbai was chaste and it didn't matter whether he had the examination or not.
But when Zhou Jinbai heard her mention it, he knew that she might be a little worried. Although he had no other woman except Su Li, in order to reassure her, Zhou Jinbai said that he would accompany Su Li for a follow-up examination during the weekend and check these things by the way.
Su Li explained, "I didn't say you had any illness. I just told you that I didn't have morning sickness when the time came. I think you should be quite healthy, Uncle Zhou."
Zhou Jinbai smiled and replied, "Of course I'm healthy. I have a physical exam every year. Even if I don't, the administration department will remind me. All employees of the company must have a physical exam on time every year. I haven't had any infectious disease tests, so there shouldn't be any major problems."
Of course Su Li knew how healthy he was, especially in bed.
She looked at Zhou Jinbai and smiled foolishly, wondering why these three months had passed so slowly. She had been enduring for a long time.
Facts proved that Zhou Jinbai was more tolerant than her. Every night, whenever she showed any tendency to do what she wanted, Zhou Jinbai would strangle her.
Hold her, kiss her for a while, touch her for a while, and then calm her inner restlessness.
Zhou Jinbai whispered in amusement, "After this period of time is over, you can stay on top of me every day. Just bear with it for now."
Su Li was upset and kept pushing against him, so he held her in his arms and comforted her for half the night.
Zhou Jinbai still took the four infectious disease tests, and it turned out that there were no problems.
He showed the report to Su Li, "Are you relieved now?"
Su Li replied, "I didn't say I wasn't worried. If I were, I definitely wouldn't have had a child with you."
Zhou Jinbai whispered, "You got pregnant by accident. The greedy girl didn't expect to get pregnant herself."
Su Li bit her lip and looked at him. "You didn't win so many times before, but you won that time. How should I know?"
Zhou Jinbai hugged her and smiled as they walked out of the hospital. "Because I penetrated the bottom that time, I must have poured it directly into your cervix. Plus, it was your ovulation period, so it was natural that I got pregnant."
Su Li hit him and said, "There are people around. What are you talking about?"
Zhou Jinbai smiled without saying anything and took her home.
Zhou's performance has picked up, Zhou Jinbai's complexion has improved a lot, and he is in the mood to accompany her back to her parents' home.
The bride's family could also see that they were in a good mood and their relationship had improved a lot.
Zhou Jinbai was talking to his elders. When Su Quan asked him about the Zhou family's problems, Zhou Jinbai told him everything.
Su Quan also sighed, "Zhou Zexi almost caused your family to be destroyed. This bastard has to do drugs for so long. I think he deserved his death even if it was from drugs. Don't be angry because I scolded him. When I saw him taking drugs, I was really glad that I had nothing to do with him. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of trouble this kind of thing would cause."
Zhou Jinbai was indifferent. "I don't plan to recognize him anymore. From now on, he is him and I am me. There will be no more entanglements. I have my own family, and it can't be broken up because of him."
Su Quan nodded. "It should have been like this a long time ago. If you and Zhizhi are together, then he will be nothing. I used to think you were a decisive person, but in the end I found out that you are an indecisive person."
Zhou Jinbai shook his head. "I'm not indecisive. I'm just nostalgic and grateful. Since he doesn't take me seriously and doesn't take my words seriously, then there's no need for me to do anything for him. I just need to raise him."
Su Quan sighed, "I may not be able to educate my own children well, let alone those who are not my biological children. When you have your own children in the future, just educate them well."
Zhou Jinbai responded, "I will."
Grandpa said, "Don't spoil your children too much. You should educate them when it's time to educate them. You can't be reluctant to teach them just because they are your own children."
Zhou Jinbai smiled and nodded, "Yes, don't worry."
He glanced towards the kitchen and saw Su Li helping her mother pick vegetables.
He thought that he and Su Li would love the child they had very much.
After several months, the remuneration finally arrived when "The Succession War" was about to be released.
Zhang Qingchi finally had some money. When Zhou Jinbai's company was facing bankruptcy, he wanted to help, but he was always powerless and didn't even dare to contact Zhou Jinbai.
Now that he had some money, he planned to give Su Li the film salary and at the same time give the company's share to Zhou Jinbai. Although it was a drop in the bucket, it was a token of his appreciation.
When he finally called Zhou Jinbai, his company's business had already picked up. Zhang Qingchi said, "My artists, including Su Li's, have a combined total of less than 300 million. I know this amount of money is not cost-effective for you, but it's just a small token of my appreciation. I'll give it to you first. Don't think it's too little."
Zhou Jinbai would never treat people differently just because he gave them less. To him, these people were some of the beauty and comfort in his life.
He didn't refuse Zhang Qingchi's help, but only asked for 100 million yuan, and said, "I'll give it to you when the dividends are distributed. You still have to pay my wife her salary."
Zhang Qingchi agreed, "Then I will definitely marry her, because she was hacked and I said a few words to her. She must still be holding a grudge against me."
Zhou Jinbai was silent for a moment and said, "Although I can forgive her, I don't want this to happen again. She's already a victim, and you're still criticizing her. How can she possibly feel good? I can't bear to say anything bad about her. This time, let it go. If something like this happens again next time, I'll be angry too."
Zhang Qingchi explained, "I was just too anxious at the time. She was already being blackmailed online by Zhou Zexi's fans, and then Li Fuling got in on the act. I was so pissed off I asked her why she was cursing. Then I thought about it. She was only in college at the time and hadn't debuted yet. Who knew those people would go so far as to dig up her past?"
Zhou Jinbai asked, "Li Fuling? The actress who is widely known for her poor acting skills?"
Zhang Qingchi, "...Yes."
Zhou Jinbai chuckled. "It's not enough to say that her acting is poor. Anyone can get into that circle. The threshold is really low. Just because your circle has a low threshold doesn't mean my wife's threshold is low. If this fan of Li Fuling dares to come out again, I will make this Li Fuling disappear from the public eye."
Zhang Qingchi was helpless. "I just said it casually. Why are you still angry? Shouldn't you be saving your group company right now? Why are you so angry?"
Zhou Jinbai said, "Is it not okay to be angry for my wife?"
Zhang Qingchi said, "...Okay, but you should just run the company well. I've seen several financial news reports saying you're going bankrupt."
Zhou Jinbai said calmly, "Impossible, I'm blessed with good fortune."
Zhang Qingchi, "...superstitious, you don't even worship the God of Wealth."
Zhou Jinbai said, "You don't understand. My lucky star is at home. She brings me good luck."
Zhang Qingchi was a little speechless. "When I said which woman brings good fortune to her husband before, you called me superstitious, but now you believe it yourself."
Zhou Jinbai hummed, "I was superficial before, but now I believe it. My wife really brings me good luck."
Zhang Qingchi, "..."
I can only say that men who are love-brained are hopeless.
When she was about two months pregnant, Su Li went for a prenatal check-up, during which the fetal heartbeat and embryo were detected, indicating that her baby had been formed.
As a first-time mother, Su Li felt a little bit awkward. When she thought about giving birth to a baby in a few months, she felt so great.
The world was born under a woman's skirt. Women are truly great.
The feeling of becoming a mother is extremely strong. She now pays great attention to health preservation. She used to stay up late, but now she dares not to do so.
Even the skin care products and makeup have been strictly screened and selected to be suitable for pregnant women, without any harmful ingredients. Of course, she was worrying unnecessarily, because the doctor did not specifically advise on issues such as skin care and makeup.
Just like what is said online, Chinese women usually complain that cosmetics are rubbish and that the skin cannot absorb them. Then, when they get pregnant, they are afraid that the harmful ingredients will enter the blood and affect the fetus. They are worried all their lives.
Su Li felt that this was correct, it was just a psychological problem.
After finally getting through three months, Zhou Jinbai's company's business began to stabilize, and recently Zhou Jinbai has been going to and from get off work on time.
Su Li had been staring at him for a long time, but Zhou Jinbai didn't notice.
He was so busy that he forgot the time until that night when Su Li came out of the shower. He found that her belly was bulging. Zhou Jinbai sat on the small sofa and took a look at her. He stood up and walked towards her, lifted the hem of her thin pajamas, and reached out to touch it.
"He's already this big? It feels like I haven't seen him for just a few days. Litchi, he grows so fast."
Su Li answered while wiping her hair, "Uncle Zhou is busy with company matters, so he doesn't have time to pay attention to us."
Zhou Jinbai shook his head. "No, I've been paying attention to you. It's just that you've been going to bed early lately. You were already asleep when I came back."
Su Li replied, "Of course we have to go to bed early and get up early, it will be good for me and him too."
Zhou Jinbai nodded, "You're right, I'll take a shower early and sleep with you."
Ten minutes later, Zhou Jinbai came out of the shower wearing only his boxer briefs. Su Li glanced down at his waist and hooked her finger, "Uncle Zhou, come here."
Zhou Jinbai wiped his feet and climbed onto the bed. "What's wrong?"
As soon as he went up, his wife pushed him down on the bed, and he looked a little surprised.
Su Li started kissing him without saying a word, touching him at the same time. Zhou Jinbai was kissed until he had no strength left.
His eyes changed.
His hand slid down from her belly, "You almost couldn't wait until today, did you?"
Su Li held his cheeks with both hands and kissed him deeply, making him gasp for breath.
After a few seconds, Zhou Jinbai could no longer control himself, and Su Li's hands were still moving.
Zhou Jinbai turned sideways and felt a little pain when she sucked her lip.
"Calm down, little thing. I'm going to rough you up."
Su Li bit the tip of his tongue. The taste of tea and toothpaste in his mouth smelled nice.
"I'm not afraid, uncle."
