After Zhang Jintao was arrested and taken to the Public Security Bureau, Liu Jingye came to Zhou's house again.
This time, Liu Jingye came to apologize.
Liu Jingye was extremely sad about Liu Meiling's death, so he said some excessive words to Zhou Zhixin.
Liu Jingye hopes that Zhou Zhixin can forgive him. He has lived for more than 40 years, and there are really not many friends like Zhou Zhixin whom he can talk to. Liu Jingyun hopes that he can continue to interact with Zhou Zhixin as before.
Faced with Liu Jingye's humble attitude, General Zhou did not express his opinion.
General Zhou believes he is not yet senile and still remembers Liu Jingye's actions in the past few days. Liu Jingye's apology is what he should do, not a reason for General Zhou to forgive him.
Zhou Zhixin also did not comment on Liu Jingye's suggestion that "we should continue to be friends and help each other in the future." However, Zhou Zhixin did not get angry with Liu Jingye. After chatting and laughing for a long time, he politely sent Liu Jingye away.
General Zhou expressed satisfaction with Zhou Zhixin's performance.
Afterwards, General Zhou also gave Zhou Zhixin some special advice.
Liu Jingye is a capable worker, but his previous weakness was his arrogance. Now that he's actually currying favor with the Zhou family, it's clear he's a very adaptable person.
General Zhou advised Zhou Zhixin to minimize contact with Liu Jingye except for work matters. Liu Jingye was a man with many thoughts and was not suitable for close friendship.
Zhou Zhixin deeply agrees with this.
Friendships between people are so strange. Sometimes friendships are formed because of a common conversation. Sometimes friendships are destroyed because of one or two careless actions or a few unpleasant words.
After Zhou Zhixin was inexplicably blocked by Liu Jingye and scolded, Liu Jingye was crossed off Zhou Zhixin's list of friends.
After Zhao Cao lived in Zhou's house for two days, he finally put his mind at ease.
As Zhou Jiasheng's new girlfriend, Zhao Cao had expected her relationship with him to be filled with drama and drama. After all, the Zhou family was wealthy, while Zhao Cao came from a peasant background. Wasn't that the ancients' understanding? Being well-matched was a fundamental requirement for choosing a spouse in the upper class.
Zhao Cao had already made up her mind: if anyone in the Zhou family objected, she would use this as an excuse to reject Zhou Jiasheng's pursuit. She didn't really love Zhou Jiasheng anymore, she was just moved by his perseverance.
Unexpectedly, the Zhou family didn't play by the rules at all. Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't the slightest idea her brother had been "robbed." Upon meeting Zhao Cao, she called her "Sister Cao" and was even more affectionate than usual. General Zhou, on the other hand, immediately gave Zhao Cao a large red envelope and wouldn't let her refuse. Even more bizarre were Zhao Yunxiang and her husband. Although they didn't appear as enthusiastic as Zhou Yuanyuan and General Zhou, they still, at General Zhou's request and according to custom, gave Cao a generous red envelope.
The expected opposition and resistance did not happen at all.
At first, Cao thought that after two days, Zhao Yunxiang or someone would talk to her and ask her to leave Zhou Jiasheng or something. As a result, two days passed and nothing happened.
The more Zhao Cao thought about it, the more amused she found it. She had come to Kyoto originally to return Zhou Jiasheng's jade pendant. Now, not only had she not returned the pendant, but she had also become Zhou Jiasheng's official girlfriend, even after getting past his parents' approval. This trip to Kyoto was like Cao had come to Zhou Jiasheng's door to confirm her relationship with him.
However, since things have developed to this point, Zhao Cao feels that marrying Zhou Jiasheng might be a good choice. At least, Zhou Jiasheng likes her, and the Zhou family is very approachable, so her life will definitely be comfortable in the future.
If Zhou Jiasheng still wants to marry her when she reaches marriageable age, then she should marry him! I believe that after a few years of getting along with him, she will discover Zhou Jiasheng's shining points and fall in love with him.
After Zhao Cao figured it out, he stopped worrying about it.
In this way, the matter between Zhao Cao and Zhou Jiasheng was settled in the Zhou family. All that remained was to wait for Cao to return home, and then the Zhou family would send someone to the Cao family to propose marriage.
The Zhou family treated Zhao Cao very well, especially General Zhou. Whenever he saw Zhao Cao, a loving smile would inevitably appear on his originally serious face.
General Zhou was really satisfied with Zhao Cao.
Zhao Cao was a hardworking and good-natured girl. What pleased General Zhou most was that she wasn't greedy.
Cao's bag was stolen on the train. When Zhou Jiasheng first saw Zhao Cao, he was so happy that he didn't notice Zhao Cao's embarrassment at all.
Zhou Yuanyuan was very attentive. When Cao first came to Zhou's house, Zhou Yuanyuan found that Cao had no change of clothes.
Zhou Yuanyuan quickly grabbed a brand new set of clothes from her closet for Cao. Because Cao was a bit petite, she was a full six or seven centimeters shorter than Zhou Yuanyuan. The skirt Zhou Yuanyuan had given Cao didn't quite fit her. Secondly, Zhou Yuanyuan took Cao to the Yunyun flagship store and picked out a ton of beautiful clothes for her.
Zhao Cao refused to take it no matter what.
No matter how Zhou Yuanyuan tried to persuade him, Zhao Cao just shook his head.
Zhou Yuanyuan was getting anxious, so Zhao Cao said, "Yuanyuan, I didn't come to Kyoto to beg for money. We are friends. I have no clothes to wear, and if you give me one, I will accept it without hesitation. But you give me all these things, do you want me to look up to you?"
Zhao Cao was a straightforward person, always mindful of her grandmother, Gu Da Niang's words: "A man who eats from his own people is soft-hearted, and a man who takes from his own people is not willing to give." When Zhou Yuanyuan offered her a change of clothes, Cao accepted them with a clear conscience, considering them her friend. But when Zhou Yuanyuan offered her a whole bunch of clothes, Cao couldn't accept them, as it reminded her of the word "alms."
Cao felt that although her family relationship with Zhou Jiasheng was not equal, she believed that their personalities were equal. Before she married Zhou Jiasheng, Zhao Cao consciously avoided taking advantage of the Zhou family, especially financially.
After being raped by Cao, Zhou Yuanyuan realized that she had been too hasty. Zhou Yuanyuan had already regarded Cao as her own sister-in-law. Therefore, for Zhou Yuanyuan, no matter how much of her own things she gave to Cao, it was her duty.
Cao, however, had her own opinion. She felt that she hadn't yet married Zhou Jiasheng, so naturally, she couldn't accept anything from the Zhou family with a clear conscience. If it weren't for the custom, Zhao Cao wouldn't even be comfortable accepting the few red envelopes from the Zhou family, let alone the pile of new clothes Zhou Yuanyuan had given her.
General Zhou saw from this incident that Cao was a down-to-earth girl. Because of this, General Zhou's attitude towards Cao was second only to Zhou Yuanyuan in the Zhou family.
