Chapter 6 Zhou Jinbai must have spoiled her like his own daughter, right?
Su Li really didn't know what gift Zhou Jinbai gave her. She hadn't opened the one she gave her yesterday, and he brought another gift when he came today.
She was still thinking about what a man like this could give her and would open it after he left. Who could have thought that these three guys would open her gifts as soon as they arrived, with no sense of boundaries.
At this time, Su Li couldn't say that this was a gift from Zhou Jinbai. Zhou Jinbai was her father-in-law, and he was definitely not "pursuing her" as they said, although she didn't know why Zhou Jinbai gave her such an expensive gift.
The gold was given by the kilogram, but that was nothing. Compared with the 500 million transferred to her, these two or three kilograms of gold roses and the LV handbag worth a million dollars seemed so insignificant.
Even with such a gift, her ordinary friends would still be shocked. However, Su Li was very calm. Since she married Zhou Zexi, the pocket money and red envelopes Zhou Jinbai gave her from time to time were no less than one million, not to mention the money he gave her during festivals and holidays.
The New Year's money was at least tens of millions. After Su Li got married, she never worried about money. Maybe she really thought she had endless money, so she had the courage to divorce Zhou Zexi.
If it weren't for Zhou Zexi, Zhou Jinbai would know who she was. Apart from being hurt in love, Su Li really had never suffered any grievances in her life.
Zhou Zexi's family is really wealthy, but it seems that all of this was earned by Zhou Jinbai and has nothing to do with Zhou Zexi. That scumbag also depends on Zhou Jinbai to survive.
She had never been able to imagine the life of the wealthy families in Beijing before. The life shown in TV dramas was very abstract and she couldn’t understand it just by her imagination. But after marrying into the Zhou family, she experienced it and it was much more exaggerated than what was shown in TV dramas.
At least, her life as a wealthy family was luxurious yet monotonous, and she felt that the money given by the Zhou family was really endless.
Comparing her past life with her days as the young lady of the Zhou family, her life before was so hard.
She achieved a class leap because of Zhou Zexi, but that doesn't mean she will swallow her anger for these material things.
A sensible woman will cherish everything that is hard-earned, and as long as she has money, anything is possible.
But Su Li felt that there were still many possibilities for her future. Maybe she would become famous and earn more money than the Zhou family gave her.
Of course, she had the confidence to divorce because she was the only daughter in the family and her parents doted on her. Even if there was no division of property in the divorce, she would not be destitute because of lack of money.
Since she started pursuing her dream, she has never worried about money. Her parents support her dreams and give her money when she is short of money, but Su Li feels that she cannot always take money from her parents.
When she didn't have any survival skills, she took it for granted that her parents raised her.
But after graduating from college, every time her parents gave her money, she felt heavy and made herself feel useless. After graduating from college, she couldn't even find a job.
So she also worked hard to turn her hobby into a means of making a living, although the money she earned was very little.
In the past, she only earned more than 200 yuan for playing a passerby or a corpse, and that was not every day.
But she was very happy to get the money and felt that she was pretty good.
After I stopped putting pressure on myself, I found that being content is pretty good.
Later, when she met Zhou Zexi, she thought a pie had fallen from the sky, but it turned out to be an abyss.
It wasn't really an abyss. She felt that she had extricated herself in a timely and cool manner. She didn't even have a big fight with Zhou Zexi.
Although I cried for a few days, I thought about it and it didn’t matter anymore.
Or maybe, she didn't love Zhou Zexi that much. When she was a little girl, she was indeed fascinated by this man. Maybe at that time she only looked at his appearance and was obsessed with his superficial personality.
During the first year of their passionate love, Zhou Zexi was still pretending, but his affectionate personality remained intact, and he seemed to be a good boyfriend and husband no matter how you looked at him.
After a year, he had "had enough" and felt that she was "not new" anymore, so he started to become cold towards her.
Every time I contacted him, he was busy and rushing to make an announcement.
Su Li understood and agreed, and would occasionally visit the set, but was rejected by Zhou Zexi every time. Even if she went to visit his crew, Zhou Zexi would not see her.
She couldn't help but ask on the phone, "I'm here, why don't you see me? I want to give you something."
Zhou Zexi's voice didn't fluctuate much, still gentle and soft, with an air of arrogance. "There are too many people here, be good. If someone finds out about our relationship, we'll both be finished. I'll be home in a few days, honey. I miss you."
It was under such sweet words that she held on to this relationship.
She had no idea how rotten Zhou Zexi was inside.
All that glitters is not gold.
Fortunately, not many people knew that she and Zhou Zexi were married, otherwise the stigma of shame would be imprinted on her.
Su Li silently took all the gifts from her friends' hands and packed them up, pretending to be calm.
She said, "No one is chasing me. I bought it for myself."
Zhang Xianwei's eyes widened like bells. "You bought it for yourself? Susu, when did you become a rich woman? I remember it was half a year ago that you finished playing the female lead in the web drama. You made hundreds of thousands of dollars and were so happy. How could you afford such an expensive thing?"
When Chen Xinyi heard this, she quickly tried to smooth things over, "Didn't she take on a new drama? This was bought with money from the new drama crew, right?"
Su Li nodded, "Yes."
She put the gifts away, asked them to sit down first, and went to the kitchen to send a WeChat message to Zhou Jinbai.
[Dad, don't come out yet. Some friends are coming home and I don't want them to see you.]
After a few minutes, Zhou Jinbai came back.
"I'm on the top floor. The guy who came yesterday will be here soon. Just ask him to go upstairs directly."
【good. 】
Su Li felt that she was trying to hide something, but it was not that she thought Zhou Jinbai was shameful, but the fewer people knew about her relationship with the Zhou family, the better.
Although she trusts these three Jimei, there are many people with many opinions. If there is any disturbance and her relationship with Zhou Zexi is dug up, she will be in trouble.
The three friends were gossiping about whose car was in the yard. Su Li just said that someone else parked it there and there was really no one at home.
Shen Xinyi looked as if she saw through her, but did not expose her.
Su Li asked them if they had eaten yet, and they all said no. Su Li went straight back to her room, changed her clothes, and left. "I'll take you to a big dinner. It's my treat. Let's go."
Several girls of similar age were happy, "Su Su is so generous, I want to eat Western food!"
Su Li wanted to send these ancestors away as soon as possible, so she agreed to eat whatever they wanted.
When she went out, she said something to Zhou Jinbai again.
[Dad, I took them out for dinner. I guess we'll be back late. I won't cook for you tonight. You can eat at home.]
Zhou Jinbai didn't reply, so Su Li sent another message.
【Please reply if you receive it.】
A few seconds later, he came back.
【knew. 】
Only then did Su Li feel relieved and leave Jiangshan Film with a few friends.
When the roof waterproofing technician came to his house, Zhou Jinbai was alone.
He casually asked, "Is your wife not at home today?"
Zhou Jinbai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, "Madam?"
The young master smiled awkwardly, "Isn't that your wife? I thought it was your wife, she's very beautiful."
Zhou Jinbai didn't say anything. He closed the door of the villa, locked it from the inside, and took his master upstairs.
The master felt that he had said something wrong and didn't know how to make amends for it, so he changed the subject and said, "You don't need to supervise me. You can trust me to do my job well. I will definitely do it well for you and I guarantee you will be satisfied."
Zhou Jinbai's voice was emotionless. "She's a girl living here. If there's a heavy rainstorm, it'll be dangerous."
The master understood as soon as he heard it, "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing just now. It turns out it's your daughter."
Zhou Jinbai did not refute this time.
The master added, "You really dote on her."
He still didn't say anything, looking like he didn't want to talk to anyone.
The master felt that what he said was boring, so he stopped talking.
Su Li didn't get home until after nine o'clock in the evening. When she came back, the lights in the house were on. She thought Zhou Jinbai had turned on the lights when he left.
Unexpectedly, after she entered the password lock and entered the door, she found that Zhou Jinbai had not left yet.
Su Li was a little surprised, "You haven't gone home yet?"
Zhou Jinbai glanced at her with cold eyes, then stood up and said, "You live alone, don't go home so late, it's not safe."
Su Li said, "I see. So, you haven't eaten yet?"
Zhou Jinbai's words were cold and clear. "I'm going back to eat. When I leave, lock the door."
Su Li responded, "Okay."
Su Li stood at the door and watched Zhou Jinbai's car leave in the darkness, feeling her heart beating a little out of control again.
Her heartbeat accelerated for no apparent reason.
She closed the doors and windows and went into the house, and saw the gift Zhou Jinbai gave her.
She didn't look at it carefully at that time, and now that there was no one around, she took it out and looked at it herself.
These were all toys that little girls would like, and Su Li admitted that she liked them very much.
But why did Zhou Jinbai give her these things?
The money given is not enough?
How rich is her father-in-law?
Su Li didn't know.
Although she didn't know why Zhou Jinbai gave her such a gift, she knew in her heart that he definitely didn't do it because he liked her.
Perhaps it was because of a debt? Was he trying to make amends for Zhou Zexi?
Su Li shook her head and sighed, "It's really not easy for him to have a son like Zhou Zexi. Now that he has come this far, I don't hate Zhou Zexi anymore."
Su Li picked up her phone and sent him another message.
"Dad, please don't give me gifts anymore. Zhou Zexi was indeed excessive, but I've already divorced him and I won't repeat the same mistake. If you want me to remarry Zhou Zexi, that's absolutely impossible. No matter how much you do, I won't look at him again."
Half an hour later, Zhou Jinbai replied.
【It has nothing to do with him.】
Su Li had already finished taking a shower and was lying on the bed. Looking at these four words, she fell into deep thought.
"It has nothing to do with him? Then what does it have to do with? It can't be that he likes me, right?"
This realization made Su Li's heart jump suddenly, and she quickly sat up from the bed.
I was frightened by my own outrageous thoughts.
She talked to herself with a complicated expression.
"How is that possible? I've been married to his son and called him dad for three years. How could he like me? Absolutely not."
Su Li dismissed this ridiculous idea and eased the tension in her heart.
"I'm quite imaginative. Maybe he just likes daughters, but he doesn't have one, so he treats me like one."
After talking to herself, Su Li sent him another message.
[I see, you treat me like your own daughter.]
Zhou Jinbai didn't reply to her. Su Li threw her phone away, turned off the lights, and fell asleep.
Later she went home and told her parents about Zhou Jinbai.
Su Li told them mysteriously, "Although Zhou Zexi and I are divorced, my father-in-law treats me like his own daughter. He's actually a very good person."
Su Quan said, "It's obvious that he's much more reliable than his son. He knows the big picture and won't act recklessly. Zhou Zexi was wrong, and he never spoke up for his son."
Yu Luo nodded. "As a father, he has been able to remain chaste for his first wife for so many years. Even though he is so rich, he has never thought of remarrying. It can be seen that he has good character. Or maybe, he loves his first wife very much."
Su Li didn't dare to talk about Zhou Jinbai's love history, but one thing was certain.
Zhou Jinbai loves Zhou Zexi's mother very much, otherwise he would not have raised Zhou Zexi alone until now.
How much do you love me?
Su Li didn't know, anyway, she would never have the chance to experience everlasting love. What she disbelieved most now was love. A man's broken mouth could say all kinds of sweet words.
When a man is one-third drunk, he will act until you cry.
A natural born movie star.
Since Zhou Jinbai treated her as his own daughter, Su Li felt that she should take care of Zhou Jinbai's lifelong affairs.
In half a month, she will join the crew, and the male lead has not been decided yet.
I have almost finished reading Su Li's script. The script is really good. It tells the story of a businesswoman's rise to wealth in the 1980s.
It is considered a relatively popular main theme IP and is expected to be broadcast on CCTV.
There are a lot of life philosophies in it. After reading the script, Su Li suddenly felt enlightened.
She got a lot of inspiration from it.
After not contacting Zhou Jinbai for several days, Shen Xinyi came to her alone that day and asked her, "Was the car in the yard that day your ex-husband's or Zhou Jinbai's? Based on my experience, I think it was Zhou Jinbai's car. I think I've seen this license plate number on some marketing account before."
Su Li lied, "It definitely wasn't Zhou Jinbai. It was my ex-husband who came to ask for reconciliation, but I refused. There were too many people that day, and I was afraid of embarrassment, so I didn't tell you the truth."
Chen Xinyi asked, "Can't you really just hold back for the sake of money? But Susu, has your ex-father-in-law Zhou Jinbai really always been single?"
Su Li nodded, "He has always been single, and I have never seen him with a woman."
Chen Xinyi was itching to do so. "What kind of women does he like? Ask him. Does he like young women? I'm 26 years old and have never been in a relationship. I've had my first kiss and my first night together. I'm a very understanding person. If he likes other women in the future, I can turn a blind eye. Why don't you introduce me to him?"
Su Li, "..."
He looked at Shen Xinyi for a long time with a strange expression, sizing her up.
He is indeed good-looking and a quirky person.
But Zhou Jinbai is such a serious man, how could he harm a girl who is fourteen or fifteen years younger than him?
Su Li told her not to have such thoughts. "I think the possibility of a collision is higher. With his personality, even if you are so much younger than him, you probably can't get close to him. He has a very strange temper."
Shen Xinyi gestured to her chest with both hands, "With my figure, he wouldn't be tempted?"
Su Li looked disgusted. "Although his son is a scumbag, he is indeed too serious. I don't dare to say anything nonsense in front of him. But he treats me well. I always feel that he treats me as his own daughter."
Chen Xinyi slapped her thigh and said, "That's even better. It means he will consider what you say. Why don't you give it a try? Don't forget each other when you become rich and powerful, Susu."
Su Li, "..."
She thought Shen Xinyi was talking nonsense, but when she lay in bed unable to sleep that night, she couldn't help but send a message to Zhou Jinbai.
What if there are signs?
Lao Zhou might really be in need of a companion. Shen Xinyi is an okay person, at least she doesn't have bad intentions.
【Lao Zhou, I want to introduce you to someone, would you like to? 】
Zhou Jinbai replied after a while.
What object?
【Fourteen or fifteen years younger than you.】
【Don't you think I'm old? 】
"How are you old? You're still very young. If anyone dares to call you old, I'll be the first to disagree."
A few minutes later, Zhou Jinbai replied.
[I'm a rather dull person, not very good at talking, and I thought no one would like me.]
[You're a man of few words, I understand. A big shot, you're a man of few words. It's natural that no one likes you. There are so many people who just want to cling to you.]
[That's good. Then when will we meet? Tomorrow?]
Su Li was shocked and stared at the message he sent back with wide eyes.
Do you agree?
[Well, it's okay to give it a try. I don't have much experience in this area, so please bear with me.]
