Chapter 155 Do you think the Zhou family are all stupid?
Sheng Xi looked unhappy: "Mom, do you think Li Maisheng's child is Zhou Songyan's? I don't believe it."
Qian Hui: "Both Grandma Zhou and Zhou Jingtian said yes, so it must be true. Do you think the Zhou family are all stupid? Raising someone else's child as their own?"
She glared at Sheng Xi: "I told you not to talk nonsense, but you didn't listen. Now look what's happened, you've offended Old Madam Zhou."
Sheng Xi: "I didn't say anything. Who would have thought that Grandma Zhou would defend Li Mai?"
"Mom, what do we do now? Is there any way you can get me to marry Zhou Songyan?"
Qian Hui got into the car without saying a word.
She has no other choice at the moment.
She thought that if Zhou Songyan didn't like Sheng Xi, she could start by getting close to the Zhou family, but now it seems that won't work.
The Zhou family is different from other wealthy families; they don't value social status.
Sheng Xi pouted and got into the car as well.
...
Grandma Zhou was furious and called Zhou Jingtian to tell him what had happened.
Zhou Jingtian frowned: "Sheng Zhaohui brought this up before, and I refused. I also explained the situation between Song Yan and Li Mai. Why are they still coming to our door?"
"It's probably still about that real estate project; the Sheng family isn't giving up. Mom, don't worry about this. I'll call Sheng Zhaohui."
Sheng Zhaohui answered the phone and went home to give Qian Hui a good scolding.
"Who told you to go to the Zhou family's place? They even called me! You're such a pain in the ass, not only can you not help, but you also just jeopardize my plans."
Qian Hui was also furious and couldn't help but argue with him: "Don't take your work frustrations out on me. If you can't handle things, it just means you're incompetent!"
Sheng Zhaohui: "..."
Enraged, he slapped Qian Hui across the face.
Qian Hui covered her face, looking at him in disbelief: "Sheng Zhaohui, how dare you hit me!"
Sheng Zhaohui felt a pang of guilt: "Wife, I'm sorry, I..."
Qian Hui brushed his hand away, her eyes filled with hatred, and kicked all the servants out of the house.
Sheng Zhaohui was startled by her appearance: "What are you doing?"
Qian Hui turned around and started scratching and hitting him. Sheng Zhaohui couldn't dodge in time and his face was scratched with several red welts.
He could no longer tolerate it and pushed Qian Hui down onto the sofa.
At this moment, Qian Hui's hair was disheveled, and she looked like a shrew.
Her gaze sent chills down Sheng Zhaohui's spine.
Qian Hui hadn't looked at him like that in many years. Although they weren't particularly affectionate over the years, they treated each other with respect and their family life was relatively harmonious.
He knew that the slap he had just given Qian Hui might have provoked her, so he apologized again: "I'm sorry, I acted impulsively just now. Calm down and stop making a scene."
Qian Hui gritted her teeth and said, "If Li Shirong were standing in front of you today, would you hit her?"
Sheng Zhaohui's expression changed: "Why bring her up out of the blue?"
"Why can't we mention it? Are you feeling guilty?"
"Honey, that happened so many years ago. Didn't we agree to forget about it? I've already admitted my mistake to you, so please don't hold it against me."
"Sheng Zhaohui, I hate you so much! I really hate you so much! I gave you a son and a daughter, what more could you want? You still want to go find other women."
"Why did you have to pick Li Shirong, a woman with a child? You're deliberately trying to embarrass me."
Sheng Zhaohui rubbed his temples and said, "The mistake has been made. I broke up with Li Shirong a long time ago. I haven't seen her for many years. What more do you want from me?"
"Are you really completely broken off? Are you still secretly seeing each other without any lingering ties?"
Sheng Zhaohui's face darkened: "Of course not, I can assure you."
"A guarantee? Then how do you explain Li Shirong appearing in Beijing?"
Sheng Zhaohui exclaimed in surprise: "She's come to Beijing?"
"Not only did she come, but she also brought that bastard child with her!"
Sheng Zhaohui was stunned.
...
Recently, Zhou Jingwen has been staying at home, and Grandma Zhou wanted everyone to get together more often, so she invited everyone to have dinner at the old house.
Zhou Songyan arrived with Li Mai and Chengcheng.
As soon as he entered, Zhou Songyan joked, "Second Uncle, did you break up with your girlfriend?"
Zhou Jingwen leaned back in his chair, looking listless.
She looked up and rolled her eyes at him: "What do you mean by heartbreak?"
He's still an old bachelor.
Zhou Songyan curled the corners of her lips: "You look like you've just broken up. So, have you found someone suitable?"
He knew that his second uncle had been forced to go on blind dates recently.
Zhou Jingwen gave Old Mrs. Zhou a resentful look.
This is unbearable! He's been on blind dates every day since he came home, which has really made him depressed.
"Mom, even if you want me to go on blind dates, can you at least find me someone reliable? What kind of people are you introducing me to? They're all weirdos, are they even suitable for marriage?"
Grandma Zhou: "At your age, who would hire a reliable person like you?"
Zhou Jingwen: "..."
Is this her biological mother? Right?
"Mom, can we stop with blind dates? Marriage should happen naturally. Maybe one day I'll meet the right person and get married."
Grandma Zhou: "By then, I estimate I'll already be buried."
"How could that be? You look like you'll live to be two hundred."
"Get lost! That would make you an old hag! I'm telling you, nothing you say matters, you have to go on blind dates! Until you find the right one."
"Mom, you're forcing me to run away from home."
"If you dare to run away, don't ever set foot in this house again. We're cutting all ties."
Zhou Jingwen: "..."
There's just no way to deal with this old lady.
After dinner, the men went to the side to drink tea and chat, while Chengcheng and Zhou Jing played chess.
A group of women sat on the sofa watching a show and eating fruit.
Li Mai really liked the atmosphere at the Zhou family home; it was harmonious and comfortable, and she had never experienced such a family atmosphere before.
Therefore, even though she has not yet married Zhou Songyan, she is very willing to go back to the old house with him.
During the TV commercial break, Grandma Zhou mentioned that Qian Hui and Sheng Xi had come by, but with Li Mai present, she didn't say that Sheng Xi wanted to marry Zhou Songyan, for fear that Li Mai would overthink it.
Zhang Jingran: "Grandma, don't pay any attention to Sheng Xi. That woman is no good. She's promiscuous and dated several men at the same time. She's such a womanizer. She's also after my cousin. She's disgusting."
Grandma Zhou never expected that Shengxi's shyness was an act.
That kind of scum dares to covet her grandson? Shameless!
Sheng Zhaohui and his wife don't know how they raised their daughter; they've raised her to be such a shameful person.
Grandma Zhou cursed inwardly.
He called over a servant and instructed, "From now on, the Sheng family members are not allowed to enter the house."
What is this? Don't dirty her doorstep.
Zhang Jingran happily took Grandma Zhou's arm and said, "Grandma, I love you to death."
Grandma Zhou shook her head helplessly.
Li Mai listened quietly without saying a word.
She knew that Sheng Xi and her daughter's sudden visit to the Zhou family must have a purpose, and it was related to Zhou Songyan.
But if Grandma Zhou doesn't say anything, she won't ask.
...
When they got home that night, Zhou Songyan made love to Li Mai and then kissed her fingers.
"Baby, I have to go on a business trip tomorrow morning."
Li Mai lazily turned her head to look at him: "Great, I can finally rest."
