"What's wrong, sister? Did Wen Ziqing bully you? Don't be afraid, your brother will vent your anger for you later." Zhou Jiasheng always spoke softly to his only sister Zhou Yuanyuan.
Zhou Yuanyuan shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. In both of her lives, her brother had been so foolish. He knew he couldn't beat Wen Ziqing, yet he always protected her first.
"Yuanyuan, just wait." Zhou Jiasheng saw Zhou Yuanyuan sobbing, and he wanted to punch Wen Ziqing right away to vent his anger. Wen Ziqing, that big bad wolf, must have scared his sister. Seriously, his sister was so young, and Wen Ziqing had the nerve to kiss and hug her. How could he compensate her for scaring her so badly?
After Zhou Yuanyuan stood firm, Zhou Jiasheng rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Wen Ziqing aggressively.
"Jiasheng, why did you bear to come back? The general was still talking about you yesterday!" Wen Ziqing saw Zhou Jiasheng's aggressive look and did not retreat at all. He took the initiative to talk to Zhou Jiasheng.
Great-grandfather? Zhou Jiasheng couldn't help but subside a bit when he heard Wen Ziqing mention General Zhou. That's right, how could Wen Ziqing meet with his sister alone at home without Great-grandfather's consent? Did Great-grandfather agree to Wen Ziqing and his sister's engagement?
"Brother, hurry upstairs, wash up and go see mom. Mom misses you so much. She must be in the room right now. Their factory just had a holiday today." Zhou Yuanyuan was afraid that Zhou Jiasheng and Wen Ziqing would fight, so she quickly talked about Zhao Yunxiang to divert Zhou Jiasheng's attention.
A few days ago, Zhao Yunxiang had asked Zhou Yuanyuan if Zhou Jiasheng would be coming home for the Lunar New Year. After all, Zhou Jiasheng's research institute was a secret organization, and unless he contacted his family, Zhao Yunxiang wouldn't be able to find him. Unfortunately, Zhou Jiasheng was so busy with his research projects that he rarely called home.
Zhou Jiasheng was also thinking about Zhao Yunxiang. Before leaving home this year, Zhou Jiasheng had told her not to work too hard. Zhao Yunxiang's company had thrived over the years, but her workload was also heavy. On several occasions, when Zhou Zhixin was away, Zhou Jiasheng would find Zhao Yunxiang still working late into the night. He couldn't help but mention Zhao Yunxiang.
Zhou Jiasheng saw it as a family with plenty of money. Zhao Yunxiang donated most of her annual earnings to charity. Since she was earning money for others, she had to prioritize her own health. Seeing Zhao Yunxiang working day and night was heartbreaking for Zhou Jiasheng.
Zhao Yunxiang agreed in front of Zhou Jiasheng, but Zhou Jiasheng knew that Zhao Yunxiang only agreed so that she could do less work, and Zhao Yunxiang might not be willing to do so.
In front of Zhou Jiasheng and Zhou Yuanyuan, Zhao Yunxiang would discuss company matters with them. I remember one time, Zhao Yunxiang brought up the topic of corporate responsibility.
Zhao Yunxiang believes that her clothing company isn't just a tool for her to make money; it's also the livelihood of all the employees. If Zhao Yunxiang doesn't work hard and the company goes downhill, the impact on her won't be significant, but on the workers. After all, the employees all rely on the company to make more money so they can earn more.
Zhou Jiasheng stopped dead in his tracks when Zhou Yuanyuan mentioned Zhao Yunxiang. Like Zhou Yuanyuan, Zhou Jiasheng valued his family over himself. Zhao Yunxiang was home today, and if he and Wen Ziqing got into a fight, it would definitely alarm her.
Telling Mom that Wen Ziqing wanted to kiss my sister? No way! If I did that, my sister, filled with shame and anger, would definitely punish me. Zhou Jiasheng thought of Zhou Yuanyuan's "brutal behavior" a few years ago and gave up the idea of complaining to Zhao Yunxiang.
Besides, didn't Wen Ziqing just kiss my little sister? He interrupted her just in time. Thinking of this, Zhou Jiasheng stared at Wen Ziqing without the previous "murderous intent". Instead, there was a hint of sympathy.
Zhou Jiasheng thought he had interrupted Wen Ziqing and Zhou Yuanyuan's first kiss, and his aversion to Wen Ziqing had lessened considerably. Even though he had never seen a pig run, he had eaten pork before. They were all men, and Zhou Jiasheng understood the feeling of unfulfilled desire.
"Yuanyuan, Auntie Wang's off today, I'll go cook." Seeing Zhou Jiasheng's expression soften, Wen Ziqing decided to cook himself to improve his impressions with his future mother-in-law and General Zhou. After all, when Zhou Yuanyuan, Zhou Jiasheng, and Wen Ziqing lived under the same roof, Wen Ziqing had generally taken care of all the cooking.
Zhou Yuanyuan came back late and didn't know Aunt Wang had asked for leave. No wonder it was so late today and she didn't see Aunt Wang busying around on the first floor.
Remembering that she hadn't eaten the sweet and sour pork ribs made by Wen Ziqing for a long time, Zhou Yuanyuan began to salivate. She quickly nodded and said, "Okay, okay! Brother Ziqing, make some sweet and sour pork ribs! I'll help you."
"Okay." Wen Ziqing saw Zhou Yuanyuan drooling as he passed by her. He couldn't help but rub her hair with his hand. His little girl had always been so cute.
Wen Ziqing knew that when Zhou Yuanyuan said "helping out" while he was cooking, she meant waiting in the kitchen to taste the food. This kind of thing happened frequently when they lived under the same roof a few years ago.
Wen Ziqing and Zhou Yuanyuan entered the kitchen one after another. When Zhou Jiasheng's feet stood on the top of the stairs to the second floor, he realized that he had been fooled by Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing together.
Cooking? Wen Ziqing probably didn't want to fight him, right? That's right, he'd never been Wen Ziqing's match since they were little. They called it "settling scores," but in reality, Zhou Jiasheng was just relying on Wen Ziqing's status as his "brother-in-law" to keep him from fighting back!
Forget it, forget it. Girls can’t be kept at home when they grow up. Since my sister doesn’t want him to cause trouble for Wen Ziqing, then forget it! Anyway, with my sister’s ability, Wen Ziqing can’t bully her.
Wen Ziqing's cooking skills were excellent, and General Zhou and Zhao Yunxiang were both very satisfied with their meal. Even Zhou Jiasheng, who was "hostile" to Wen Ziqing, collapsed on the sofa after dinner, clutching his stomach. It couldn't be helped; Wen Ziqing's food tasted truly delicious. Zhou Jiasheng had been eating pre-packaged, nutritious meals at the institute for a year, focusing on nutritional content, so you could imagine how delicious they were.
Zhao Yunxiang was also delighted. Wen Ziqing could cook! It was a sign that her daughter, Zhou Yuanyuan, would be blessed in the future. For a mother-in-law, no matter how capable her son-in-law was, it couldn't compare to a son-in-law willing to pamper her daughter. Just by watching Wen Ziqing constantly pick up food for Zhou Yuanyuan during dinner, Zhao Yunxiang knew he would be a doting wife.
General Zhou was also very satisfied. Wen Ziqing's attitude showed that he cared deeply about Zhou Yuanyuan. He even didn't want her to cook for him. General Zhou felt that he could believe Wen Ziqing's promise to treat Zhou Yuanyuan well for the rest of her life, for the time being.
