Chapter 144 I Have a Girlfriend
Zhou Songyan looked up and said, "I have a girlfriend."
Sheng Zhaohui was stunned: "When did this happen?"
Zhou Jingtian said with a smile, "He does have a girlfriend, and not only that, he even has a son."
Sheng Zhaohui: "..."
Zhou Jingtian: "That girl and he got together five years ago, but they had some misunderstandings and separated for a few years. My little grandson is over four years old now, and he's very cute. Let me show you."
Zhou Jingtian took out his phone, showed Chengcheng's photo, and handed it over.
Sheng Zhaohui glanced at it and was somewhat disappointed.
He was also thinking that if Sheng Xi could marry into the Zhou family, Zhou Songyan would be able to help the Sheng family out of consideration for their in-laws.
I didn't expect him to have a girlfriend.
Not only that, she even has a son.
Sheng Zhaohui concealed his expression and said, "Congratulations, Jing Tian."
"Thanks."
Zhou Jingtian chuckled and looked at Chengcheng's photo again before putting his phone away.
Zhou Songyan found it uninteresting and left early.
Sheng Zhaohui poured Zhou Jingtian a glass of wine: "I'd like to toast you."
Zhou Jingtian didn't want to drink so much at midday, but he felt guilty for not being able to help Sheng Zhaohui, so he could only drink a few more glasses.
After a few drinks, Sheng Zhaohui said, "Jingtian, please help out with that project I mentioned last time, for the sake of our long-standing friendship."
Zhou Jingtian said helplessly, "I've basically delegated authority now. Song Yan makes all the decisions for the group. If he rejects this project, there's nothing I can do."
"Ask someone else."
Sheng Zhaohui: "To be honest, I've looked for everyone I can, but there's really no other way."
Zhou Jingtian: "What about bank loans?"
Sheng Zhaohui remained silent.
Zhou Jingtian was silent for a moment before refilling his glass: "Come on, let's drink. Put work aside for now."
...
Knowing that Li Mai had resigned and was staying at home, Zhang Jingran called her and asked her to go shopping.
Since Grandma Zhou happened to be home, Li Mai agreed.
Zhang Jingran drove her sports car to pick up Li Mai.
"Sister-in-law, get in the car quickly!"
Li Mai opened the car door and got in.
"Sister-in-law, isn't it great not having to work?"
Li Mai smiled and said, "Indeed."
Zhang Jingran: "That's why I've never wanted to go to work. I can do whatever I want, it's so free."
Li Mai smiled, pursing her lips, but didn't say anything.
How many people have the financial resources of Zhang Jingran? She can live a carefree and unrestrained life without having to work.
Zhang Jingran took Li Mai to get her nails done, and after a casual stroll, it was time for dinner.
You Huan called to invite him to dinner, and Li Mai called her over.
The three of them arrived at the restaurant and took their seats.
You Huan suddenly saw several familiar faces.
Sheng Lin and Sheng Xi, and their mother Qian Hui.
Sheng Lin had tried to contact Li Mai twice after she hit him last time, but she ignored him.
I heard he had a fight with his fiancée and was busy trying to appease her, so he probably didn't have time to bother her.
Li Mai didn't know Sheng Xi and Qian Hui, but she knew Sheng Lin.
That scumbag You Huan is a disgusting man.
We're so close, we can hear their conversation.
Shengxi: "Mom, what did the Zhou family say?"
Upon hearing the name Zhou, Li Mai perked up her ears.
Qian Hui's face darkened: "Your father said that Zhou Songyan not only has a girlfriend, but also a son, so there's no hope for a marriage alliance with the Zhou family."
Sheng Xi: "How could that be? I know that Zhou Songyan was entangled with a woman with a child a while ago, and it was even on the news. They said that the woman seduced him."
"How could a woman like that be worthy of Zhou Songyan? It's absurd that he has a son, I don't believe it!"
Qian Hui: "Your dad said that Zhou Songyan and your Uncle Jingtian admitted it themselves, so it should be true."
Sheng Lin then spoke up: "I've met that woman who was in the news with Zhou Songyan. Zhou Songyan was very protective of her, and he seemed serious about it."
Sheng Xi: "I don't believe Zhou Songyan can marry a woman like that. It's enough for him to play around with her for now."
Sheng Lin: "Sheng Xi, forget it. You'd better not mess with Zhou Songyan. That man is cold and hard to get along with."
Sheng Xi: "Coldness is relative. If I win over Zhou Songyan, he will definitely treat me very well."
Zhang Jingran rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.
She jumped up and rushed to the next table: "Shengxi, have you no shame? With your looks, you think you can win over my cousin? Dream on! Go home and lie down and dream, you can have anything in your dreams."
Sheng Xi's face turned bright red: "Zhang Jingran, why are you eavesdropping on other people's conversation?"
"Ha, I wasn't eavesdropping, I was listening openly. I'm truly amazed that someone would be so shameless in public."
“Zhang Jingran, stop mocking me. When I marry Zhou Songyan, you’ll still have to call me cousin-in-law.”
Zhang Jingran burst into laughter.
"Shengxi, where's your face? Did you leave it at home? I'm begging you, please stop making a fool of yourself. I already have a cousin-in-law, so you can only stand aside."
Zhang Jingran ran over and pulled Li Mai over: "Look, this is my cousin's wife. She's a hundred times prettier than you. My cousin is head over heels in love with her. You have no chance at all."
Li Mai touched her nose and was suddenly pulled over by Zhang Jingran.
Sheng Xi glanced at Li Mai with a mocking look: "Her? Zhang Jingran, don't be ridiculous."
This woman is the one who got entangled with Zhou Songyan and made the news with him.
Li Mai glanced at Sheng Xi and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but Zhou Songyan and I are indeed dating, and we don't rule out getting married in the future. We do have a son."
Sheng Xi: "..."
She murmured, "Impossible..."
Zhang Jingran: "Alright, it's time to wake up from this dream."
"Sister-in-law, let's go back for dinner."
Li Mai smiled and nodded.
Sheng Lin followed their gaze and indeed saw You Huan.
Sheng Xi also saw You Huan.
"Brother, why is You Huan with them?"
Qian Hui frowned.
Sheng Lin: "You Huan and Li Mai are friends, she's the woman from earlier."
Sheng Xi scoffed, "Birds of a feather flock together. You Huan is no good, and that Li Mai is no better; they're both vixens!"
Sheng Lin frowned, somewhat displeased: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Sheng Xi: "Am I talking nonsense? It is true!"
Sheng Lin slammed his chopsticks down on the table, his face grim.
Sheng Xi then fell silent.
The Sheng family left not long after.
Zhang Jingran scoffed: "Speechless. Anyone would dare to covet my cousin."
Li Mai laughed: "There are plenty of people who have their eyes on your cousin."
Zhang Jingran: "That's true, my cousin is so handsome, a lot of people like him."
Li Mai took a bite of her food and casually asked, "Tell me, how much is there?"
"have……"
Zhang Jingran suddenly shut her mouth.
You Huan looked at her amusedly: "Why did you stop talking?"
Zhang Jingran stuck out her tongue and took Li Mai's arm in a flattering manner: "Although many people like my cousin, his heart is only with his wife, and he doesn't even glance at other women."
