In the Zhou family, the person who cares most about Zhou Jiasheng's personal problems is not Zhao Yunxiang or Zhou Yuanyuan, but General Zhou.
Although Zhou Jiasheng was young, his family had always been small. Zhao Yunxiang hadn't been pregnant since she gave birth to Zhou Yuanyuan, and General Zhou, though somewhat disappointed, didn't take it too seriously. Privately, General Zhou told Zhou Xi that the Zhou family's children were more valuable than quantity. With someone like Zhou Yuanyuan or Zhou Jiasheng, any one of them would make the children of the Zhu and Cao families look like rubbish.
Zhou Xi also recited General Zhou's words to Zhou Yuanyuan, with the purpose of letting Zhou Yuanyuan marry Wen Ziqing as soon as possible.
As General Zhou's health worsened, his biggest wish for the past year was for Zhou Jiasheng to bring home a girlfriend. Zhou Yuanyuan already had Wen Ziqing, but Zhou Jiasheng had been completely absorbed in the lab, never even having a girl he liked from middle school to college. To say General Zhou wasn't worried would be a lie.
Before Zhou Yuanyuan took Zhao Cao home, she called General Zhou. Because Zhao Cao was with her, Zhou Yuanyuan only said that she would take Zhou Jiasheng's girlfriend home soon. For other matters, Zhou Yuanyuan would have to wait until she got home.
After General Zhou hung up the phone, Gao Xin didn't want to do anything anymore and just sat in the living room waiting for Zhao Cao to arrive.
When I called, there was an incident.
Zhao Cao was curious about Zhou Yuanyuan's previous experience of being able to hold her phone and make calls while walking, and wanted her to demonstrate it to her. Zhou Yuanyuan was so anxious that she broke into a cold sweat. In the end, she could only put Zhao Cao off by saying that she had accidentally dropped the phone in the taxi.
Chaos Pearl has always been very good at executing Zhou Yuanyuan's orders.
On the way home with Zhao Cao, Zhou Jiasheng had become a "wounded soldier" with a pig-headed face.
Zhou Jiasheng was awakened by the pain. Although the Chaos Pearl's beating was very measured and did not cause any serious injuries to Zhou Jiasheng, the superficial injuries were enough to make Zhou Jiasheng uncomfortable.
After Zhou Jiasheng opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a familiar bedroom and felt relieved.
Zhou Jiasheng thought that it was General Zhou who sent people to rescue him. With General Zhou's methods, those kidnappers would definitely not end up well if they fell into General Zhou's hands.
Although he was in pain in many parts of his body, Zhou Jiasheng felt relieved as long as he thought that the kidnappers might suffer a worse fate than himself.
Now that he was awake, Zhou Jiasheng planned to go downstairs and tell General Zhou.
After Zhou Jiasheng came down from the rain, he found that his legs had become lame. Zhou Jiasheng carefully felt his bones and was relieved after confirming that he was fine.
As Zhao Cao followed Zhou Yuanyuan to Zhou's house, he felt uneasy, as if his heart was hanging in mid-air.
Zhou Yuanyuan took Cao's hand and walked into the living room, and saw General Zhou with a smile on his face.
"Great-grandfather! Look, I brought back your good great-grandson's wife." When Zhou Yuanyuan saw General Zhou, she rushed over and said flatteringly.
"Okay, okay." General Zhou looked at Zhao Cao sharply, with a satisfied look on his face.
"Hello, General Zhou!" Zhao Cao blushed at Zhou Yuanyuan's words, "great-grandson's wife." He wanted to explain that he and Zhou Jiasheng were just friends. But he felt too embarrassed to be direct in front of General Zhou, so he used the greeting as an opportunity to distance himself from Zhou Jiasheng.
"What General Zhou? Call him Grandpa Zeng." General Zhou frowned.
General Zhou's face hardened, and all his aura was released. Zhao Cao couldn't help but call out, "Grandpa."
"Be good, be good, great-grandson's wife, this is for you from the old man." General Zhou Gaoxin smiled happily, and quickly took out the red envelope he had prepared earlier from his pocket and stuffed it into Cao's hand.
Although General Zhou was old, he had not forgotten the custom of giving a gift to a girl when she first came to visit. Knowing that Cao's family was not well off, General Zhou simply gave her a thousand yuan in a red envelope instead of a flashy jade bracelet.
"This, I... I can't accept it." Zhao Cao was startled by General Zhou's unexpected action. When she reacted, she found that General Zhou had stuffed a thick red envelope into her hand. Zhao Cao wanted to put it back, but seeing General Zhou's stern face, she didn't dare to.
"Sister Cao, this is a gift from your great-grandfather. You cannot refuse a gift from an elder!" Zhou Yuanyuan quickly tried to smooth things over.
General Zhou was very stubborn. He wanted to give Cao a red envelope to show his approval of Cao. If Cao didn't accept it, General Zhou would definitely be unhappy.
"Thank you, General Zhou." Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan's serious expression, Cao had no choice but to thank General Zhou.
"Wrong." General Zhou shouted, his eyebrows raised.
"Thank you, Grandpa Zeng." Cao came to his senses and quickly changed his address back to that. It wasn't that Cao was being pretentious; it was simply that General Zhou's aura was too overwhelming. In front of General Zhou, Cao felt his mind was a little slow.
Before meeting General Zhou, Cao had imagined him to be an aloof leader. But this General Zhou, who sometimes glared at her and sometimes smiled kindly, really exceeded Cao's expectations.
"Okay, okay, Cao is really a good boy." When General Zhou heard Cao change his words, he immediately put on a smiling expression.
General Zhou was indeed very pleased with Cao. General Zhou, now an older man, naturally had his own way of judging people. On the one hand, Cao was a playmate Zhou Yuanyuan had known since they were close friends, someone she wanted to befriend. General Zhou was absolutely confident in Cao's character. On the other hand, from the moment he entered the room, Zhao Cao's eyes had been clear. Upon seeing General Zhou, there was no flattery or calculation in his eyes. When he saw the red envelope General Zhou had given him, his first reaction was to refuse rather than to be greedy.
General Zhou felt that Zhao Cao was just the right match for their family's Sheng.
"Cao, it's really you!" Zhou Jiasheng finally came downstairs, limping. Seeing Zhao Cao, Zhou Jiasheng's face was full of surprise.
Just now, when Zhou Jiasheng was standing on the stairs and heard voices downstairs, he thought he was hallucinating.
When Zhou Jiasheng first picked up Zhao Cao yesterday, he wanted to take him home, but Cao refused.
Zhou Jiasheng knew that Zhao Cao had a stubborn temper, and he was thinking about trying to persuade her a few more times, or asking his sister Zhou Yuanyuan to take Cao home.
When Zhou Jiasheng woke up after being injured, he found that happiness had come so suddenly. The grass he had been thinking about taking home was already sitting in his living room.
