Growing up, Zhou Jiasheng had been surrounded by girls with a crush on them. He didn't even need to chase them; they were all there for him. This meant he had no experience pursuing girls. After figuring out his feelings, he wrote several letters to Xiaocao, but they were all returned. Xiaocao didn't even reply, leaving Zhou Jiasheng feeling uneasy.
"What? No way, brother! You're not telling me it's just unrequited love? Doesn't Xiaocao even care about you?" Zhou Yuanyuan's eyes widened. Seeing Zhou Jiasheng so confidently promise Xiaocao would treat her family well after they got married, Zhou Yuanyuan had thought they were madly in love. Turns out it was just Zhou Jiasheng's wishful thinking? Zhou Yuanyuan was so frustrated she almost spat out blood.
Back when Zhou Jiasheng was in college, he was considered the most handsome boy on the campus of Kyoto University. How could Xiaocao refuse such an outstanding brother?
Zhou Yuanyuan felt a wave of frustration. Initially, she'd thought Xiaocao was hiding her relationship with Zhou Jiasheng, and she'd felt quite uncomfortable. But now, knowing Xiaocao had ignored Zhou Jiasheng's advances, she felt indignant for her brother. People have double standards, and Zhou Yuanyuan was no exception.
"Sister, I'm trying my best. Xiaocao will definitely be your sister-in-law in the future." After hearing what Zhou Yuanyuan said, Zhou Jiasheng embarrassedly stretched out a hand and scratched the back of his head.
Zhou Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Zhou Jiasheng. What a silly brother! She should talk less to him, lest she infect him with stupidity. He and Xiaocao hadn't even started dating yet, and he was just here, fantasizing about it all by himself. Forget it, forget it. She didn't care anymore. Let it be!
"Brother, I'll help sabotage your marriage with Zhu Xiaojuan, but as for Xiaocao, it's up to you. I'm telling you, think carefully. If you're determined to be with Xiaocao, you must treat her well for the rest of your life. Otherwise, I won't let you go!" Zhou Yuanyuan stretched out a fist and shook it in front of Zhou Jiasheng. After all, Xiaocao was Zhou Yuanyuan's best friend, and Zhou Yuanyuan would never allow her brother to "incestuous and then abandon" her.
Among the children of wealthy families in Kyoto City, perhaps because they have had it too easy in the past two years, a trend of "hunting for beauty" has emerged. Just like Cao Yiming, Cao Yiming's cousin, he likes a girl today, pursues her for a while, then dumps her, turns around and pursues another girl, dates her for a while, and dumps her again, over and over again. Cao Yiming enjoys it, but it is the girls he "plays" with who suffer. Just before the Chinese New Year, a girl was so upset that she ran to Cao Yiming's workplace and threatened to commit suicide. After the incident became a big deal, Cao Yiming was severely punished by Cao Aiguo, and he has been more restrained since then.
Zhou Yuanyuan would never allow her brother to become a "playboy" like Cao Yiming.
Not only Zhou Jiasheng, but even Wen Ziqing, as long as he was Zhou Yuanyuan's fiancé, Zhou Yuanyuan would not allow him to look at other girls, let alone hug them.
After "driving" Zhou Jiasheng away, Zhou Yuanyuan visited General Zhou's study. The root of Zhou Jiasheng's problems lay with Zhao Yunxiang. But Zhao Yunxiang was currently filled with ambition. If Zhou Yuanyuan had directly told her that Zhou Jiasheng and Zhu Xiaojuan were not a good match, she would have refused to listen.
Therefore, Zhou Yuanyuan had no choice but to take a circuitous approach, asking her great-grandfather to intervene and nip Zhao Yunxiang's budding ambitions in the bud. The Zhu family wasn't as harmless as Zhao Yunxiang imagined. How could Zhu Xiangyang, without any real skills, hold such an important position as the second-in-command? If Zhou Zhixin truly provoked Zhu Xiangyang, it would be detrimental to his future.
Zhou Yuanyuan talked with General Zhou for half an hour before returning to her room.
That night, Zhou Yuanyuan did not sleep, but lay in bed thinking about the next path for herself and the Zhou family.
The next morning, Zhou Yuanyuan obediently went to school with her schoolbag on her back. She was accompanied by Zhou Xi, who had just returned home the night before.
Zhou Zhixin and Zhao Yunxiang were both busy at work and had no time to take Zhou Yuanyuan to school. General Zhou wanted to go, but Zhou Yuanyuan refused. Are you kidding! She was going to school today, not to show off her family background. It would be strange if General Zhou wasn't surrounded by a crowd the moment he appeared at the gate of Chaoyang Middle School.
"Grandpa Xi, I can go to school on my own. You don't need to send me off. Just stay home and get some rest!" Zhou Yuanyuan felt embarrassed when Zhou Xi insisted on sending her to school. If Zhou Yuanyuan followed Zhao Yunxiang's request and didn't accept a mission from the Special Operations Team before graduating from university, the burden of the Special Operations Team would fall entirely on Zhou Xi. After all, the other members of the Special Operations Team only had some special abilities, and compared to regular cultivators like Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhou Xi, the gap was quite significant.
Talent training is not easy. In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, the more dangerous tasks were previously taken over by Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhou Xi.
Zhou Xi was out of town this time to investigate a series of disappearances. Initially, the local police suspected a demonic presence, but upon arriving, they discovered that the cases were all man-made. After Zhou Xi handed the murderer over to the local police, he arrived home in the middle of the night. Everyone except Zhou Yuanyuan was asleep.
"Miss, I'm in good spirits. I don't need to sleep." Zhou Xi sat in the driver's seat, ignoring Zhou Yuanyuan's refusal. Zhou Xi had always been very stubborn, especially after his last near-death training. He considered Zhou Yuanyuan the person who had given him a second life. Working for Zhou Yuanyuan became Zhou Xi's favorite thing in his daily life. Not to mention something as small as sending Zhou Yuanyuan to school, even if Zhou Xi was asked to give his life back to Zhou Yuanyuan, he wouldn't even frown.
"Grandpa Xi, I'll be taking care of the team from now on. If there's any important mission, you can tell me in secret." Seeing that Zhou Xi was determined to send her off, Zhou Yuanyuan let him go. There was nothing she could do. Sometimes people's obsessions were strange; the more opposition they had, the more they wanted to do something. Zhou Yuanyuan just hoped Zhou Xi would see things more clearly sooner and stop being so obsessed with the idea of saving her life.
Zhou Yuanyuan was a bit worried about the Special Operations Team. The cultivators in the Langyuan Secret Realm might make some major moves within three to five years. Zhou Xi was only a second-level Qi training cultivator. Although he was practically unbeatable in the secular world, he had no chance of winning against a cultivator from the Langyuan Secret Realm.
"Okay, young lady," Zhou Xi replied. Zhou Xi's personality was similar to General Zhou's; he knew how to adapt. If there was something unsolvable, he wouldn't hide it for the sake of face. Not to mention their own Miss Yuanyuan, who was unbeatable in Zhou Xi's heart.
