I won't choose Chapter 54.
Ji Wangyu was led around a few times by Rongzheng's employee, who finally told him that Zhou Songyan had gone to eat and that they would talk when he returned.
Ji Wangyu almost swore.
I glanced at the time; Li Mai should still be eating.
He decided to go find her and dialed Li Mai's number.
Li Mai saw that it was Ji Wangyu and answered the phone: "President Ji."
"Secretary Li, which restaurant are you eating at? I'll come over."
Li Mai glanced at Zhou Songyan in the driver's seat, unsure how to respond.
I was trying to find an excuse in my head: my phone had been taken away.
"Zhou Songyan!"
Li Mai shouted in surprise.
Zhou Songyan glanced at her indifferently and said to Ji Wangyu on the other end of the phone, "Li Mai is with me, we're about to go out for dinner."
"Is there anything else, Mr. Ji?"
"It's not working hours now, so if you have something to say, please wait until we finish eating."
He hung up the phone immediately after saying that.
Ji Wangyu was so angry that he punched the wall.
Sun Yuanjie glanced at Ji Wangyu as he passed by, gave him a sympathetic look, and quickly slipped away.
Zhou Songyan handed the phone to Li Mai, who rudely took it away.
"Zhou Songyan, we're not related now, you need to avoid suspicion, understand?"
Zhou Songyan was not paying attention and placed his hand on the steering wheel.
"Do not avoid."
Especially for Jiwangyu.
He wasn't blind; Ji Wangyu was eyeing Li Mai covetously.
Li Mai met with him every day, and he was extremely worried.
Li Mai took a deep breath, feeling a sense of powerlessness.
It was as if talking to Zhou Songyan was like casting pearls before swine.
I decided to stop talking, leaned back in my seat, and turned to look out the car window.
Zhou Songyan: "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Li Mai: "..."
What did she say?
Zhou Songyan: "Did you get angry when I told Ji Wangyu that we were together?"
Li Mai: "..."
Zhou Songyan: "Do you like Ji Wangyu?"
Li Mai: "..."
“Li Mai, don’t like Ji Wangyu. He’s a playboy with countless women. He’s not good enough for you.”
"A man who doesn't respect himself might also have some kind of illness."
Li Mai: "..."
She turned her head and stared at him, utterly speechless.
Zhou Songyan: "You've finally looked at me. I'm devoted and faithful, I'm chaste and don't mess around with women. I'm handsome, rich, and good at making money. Don't give up an airplane for a second-hand bicycle."
Li Mai finally spoke up: "I won't choose any of them."
Zhou Songyan: "Why? I understand why you didn't choose Ji Wangyu, but why didn't you choose me?"
His expression seemed to say: Ji Wangyu is trash, you're right not to choose him, but I'm so outstanding, why don't you choose me?
Li Mai: "I don't have a pilot's license, and I'm afraid I'll crash and die if I fly a plane."
Zhou Songyan: "You don't need to fly it. The plane is fully autopiloted and will take you flying."
Li Mai: "Then I would be even more afraid to take it. They might take me over the sea and throw me into the ocean."
Zhou Songyan: "..."
He gripped the steering wheel tightly, and the veins on his arms were faintly visible.
Li Mai didn't trust him at all.
We arrived at a uniquely decorated restaurant.
Zhou Songyan parked the car, turned to look at Li Mai, his eyes filled with hurt.
Li Mai looked away from him.
Zhou Songyan looked at her for a while, but ultimately said nothing.
He opened the door, got out of the car, and walked around to open the passenger door.
"Come down."
Li Mai glanced at him, then got out of the car.
"Brother, you're here!"
A figure walked out of the restaurant.
She had dyed her hair silver and wore ripped jeans despite the freezing weather.
"Hey, who's this pretty young lady?"
Zhang Junzheng looked at Li Mai with a mixture of curiosity and excitement.
Li Mai also looked at him curiously.
He calls Zhou Songyan "brother," and Zhou Songyan has a younger brother?
Zhou Songyan frowned and pulled Li Mai into the restaurant.
He didn't like Li Mai setting her sights on other men.
Although he didn't treat this cousin as a man.
Zhang Junzheng snapped two photos of the two people's backs and sent them to the family group chat.
His fingers flew across the keyboard: [Breaking news!!! My girlfriend is so beautiful! Did you see that? They're holding hands!]
Zhang Jingran: [Do you dare to take a front-facing photo?]
Zhang Junzheng: [I wouldn't dare, I'm afraid my brother would kill me. I just asked who this young lady was, and his face was as cold as ice.]
Zhou Jingtian saw the message a long time ago. He types slowly, so it took him a while to send it out.
【Junzheng, is she really your brother's girlfriend?】
Zhang Junzheng: [Uncle, they're already holding hands, how could it be fake?]
Zhou Jingtian found typing too slow, so he simply sent a voice message: "That should be it. Your brother rarely talks, let alone holds hands with girls. If he takes the initiative to hold a girl's hand, she must be his girlfriend."
Zhou Jingwen: [Brother, congratulations! You're getting married soon, and holding your grandson won't be far off.]
Zhou Jingtian: "Thank you, but I also want a sister-in-law. Jingwen, good luck. Your nephew is getting married soon, aren't you, as his uncle, worried?"
Zhou Jingwen pretended to be dead for a while and then sent a message: "[Big brother, you should find me a sister-in-law first.]"
Zhou Jingtian: [...]
This time it was his turn to play dead.
Zhou Qianlian only saw the dozens of messages in the group chat at that moment.
[Songyan, what's this girl's background? Have you checked her family history? Is she a decent person?] tagged Zhou Songyan.
[Songyan, before you get together with someone, make sure you know their background. Don't get scammed. There are a lot of gold diggers these days, so keep your eyes open.] tagged Zhou Songyan.
【Don't repeat the same mistakes. Your aunt is doing this for your own good, so please listen.】Tagged Zhou Songyan.
Zhang Junzheng: [Mom, you're such a spoilsport!]
Zhang Jingran: [Zhang Junzheng, watch out, Mom's a wicked mother-in-law.]
Zhou Qianlian: [You two get out of here! I'm just doing this for your cousin's sake, what do you know?]
Zhou Jingtian: "Qianlian, don't be nervous. Songyan has finally come to his senses. Don't scare him away."
...
Zhou Songyan led Li Mai to their reserved seats and ordered from the waiter: "The usual, and please add these dishes as well."
Zhou Songyan pointed to several dishes on the menu.
Waiter: "Yes, Mr. Zhou."
The waiters and chefs here all know that Mr. Zhou is Mr. Zhang's cousin.
He occasionally comes here to eat, and he always sits in the same spot.
Li Mai looked down at her phone.
Zhou Songyan sat down opposite her.
He volunteered, "This shop is owned by my cousin, the one who just left. His name is Zhang Junzheng, and he's my aunt's son."
"He also has a twin sister named Zhang Jingran."
Li Mai looked up at him.
She hadn't expected Zhou Songyan to say these things to her.
She didn't actually care, but since Zhou Songyan had said it, she had to respond: "Oh, your cousin is pretty cool."
Zhou Songyan: "What's so cool about him? Just looking at his white hair gives me a headache, and my aunt gets a headache too."
