Zuo Fugui was expected to be indignant and defend himself, claiming that he has a lot of talents. But instead, he just snorted and said, "See, not everyone has the luxury to be a gold digger, stop teasing me about it."
"My wife is rich."
Zuo Fugui: ...
The two chatted into the evening, bantering back and forth. Zuo Fugui stayed for dinner before leaving. Afterwards, he boasted to Song Yue over the phone.
"I went to visit Brother Lu and his wife this afternoon. You should have seen the way Brother Lu is excited for the baby, he’s even prepared a nursery."
"It’s so pink, clearly a room for a little girl. It’s hilarious—what if they end up having a son?"
On the other end of the phone, Song Yue, with a hint of laughter in his voice: "Then I guess Brother Lu is going to be shattered."
"That’s what I think too." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"I even reserved my spot as the godfather this afternoon. Hehe, jealous, aren’t you?"
Song Yue: ...
Cursing under his breath: "Jealous my ass."
"Exactly! Jealous my ass."
Song Yue: ...
Upon hearing this, Song Yue felt like he couldn’t talk to him anymore and quickly hung up, disgraced by Zuo Fugui’s childish behavior.
He’s a grown man, yet he has to boast whenever he gets something.
Then, he called Lu Nanchen. Clearing his throat, Song Yue asked, "Brother Lu, do you have time tomorrow? Are you home? I was thinking of visiting you and your wife..."
At night, the stars in the sky seemed brighter against the darkness, and the Zhou Mansion in Nanshan City was brightly lit thanks to the presence of the old man.
Zhou Chengyan, who was earning tens of thousands of dollars every hour, was roped into a game of Go by Zhou Guorui late into the night.
"Seriously, aren’t you tired? It’s late." Zhou Chengyan, forcibly glued to his seat, was getting agitated. He’d held a cigarette in his mouth for quite a while without lighting it. He took his turn and placed a black stone.
Zhou Guorui glanced at him, huffed icily without responding and then placed a white stone.
The black stone advanced, the white stone defended and plotted a counterstrike, their playing styles mirroring their personalities.
Zhou Chengyan’s scowl deepened in annoyance. Losing the game was driving him nuts.
Zhou Guorui on the other side didn’t seem to care. He just kept playing and answering a call that came in halfway through.
"A foundation? Affluent?"
"Alright, let’s invest a little and see. It’s good that they’re showing initiative."
"Mhm."
"The legal representative is her? Hahaha, good for her, getting involved in such work at a young age."
...
Zhou Guorui ended the call after about three to four minutes, the smile on his face never leaving.
Zhou Chengyan glanced at him: "What’s up? Who called and made you so happy?"
"From the foundation. Apparently, a newly established foundation wants to crowdfund and recruit people, and they reached out to me. I made some investments, and it turns out it was Yu Ting who established it." Zhou Guorui said with a grin, feeling that there were too few young people like her.
Zhou Chengyan paused at that, then responded with a laugh: "Not bad."
"I’ll bring you two back right away."
Zhou Guorui was confused, not understanding what he meant: "Bring back two what?"
"The one I was talking about last time, remember? Didn’t we say we’d bring Miss Yu back? She’s pregnant now, so it’s a buy one, get one free deal—I can bring back two for you at once."
!!
Zhou Guorui felt more outraged than he had ever been during times of business crisis. This kid...
"Go fool around if you want, but don’t take it too far! They’re very much in love."
Zhou Chengyan merely smiled without saying anything.
