Chapter 43 Are you laughing at me?
Chen Zan went back to his room and got dressed. He looked at the time. It was just past eleven ten. It seemed that Zhou Jingyu had not been chatting for too long.
After putting the things back into the bag, Zhou Jingyu came in.
The two of them looked at each other silently. Zhou Jingyu's tone was indeed fierce just now. Chen Zhan didn't know what had made him unhappy. After pausing for a moment, he continued to pull up his schoolbag without saying a word.
Zhou Jingyu stepped forward and raised his hand to lift the hair away from her ears. She subconsciously stepped back, but was restrained by him.
His tone remained unchanged, "The earring fell off, I'll put it on for you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zan quickly touched the earring on her earlobe. It was a gift from Xu Anan. If she lost it, the eldest lady might be angry.
She hesitantly said, "I can do it myself."
Zhou Jingyu was forceful and didn't give in. He leaned forward slightly and threaded the earring into her ear hole. "I wasn't being mean to you just now."
Chen Zhan raised his eyes and looked at him in surprise, saying in the same stiff tone, "Mr. Zhou, are you apologizing for what happened just now?"
When she asked him so bluntly, Zhou Jingyu's cold face showed a rare bit of awkwardness, but he still nodded.
Somehow, Chen Zan found it very interesting to see the arrogant Mr. Zhou lower his head stiffly. It seemed that Mr. Zhou was not so unattainable and difficult to mess with. He was a person who would actually apologize if he made a mistake.
She curled her lips and smiled, "Okay, I accept your apology."
Seeing this, Zhou Jingyu raised his lips and said lazily, "Chen Zan, are you making fun of me?"
Chen Zhan suppressed the corners of her mouth, but the smile in her eyes was about to overflow. Zhou Jingyu raised his hand to pinch her chin, kissed her lips heavily twice, and pretended to threaten her: "If you keep laughing, I won't send you back to school tonight."
Chen Zan became obedient.
When he went out again, Jiang Yushan was no longer outside the door, but was standing in the yard with Ye Jing in his arms.
Seeing Chen Zan coming down, Ye Jing smiled and said, "Miss Chen, have you rested well?"
Chen Zan had a very good impression of Ye Jing. She was gentle and pretty, and spoke in a pleasant Wu dialect. He nodded and said that he had had a good rest.
Zhou Jingyu and Jiang Yushan wanted to meet for a while, so he sent Zhang Qing to take her back. Before leaving, Chen Zan asked to add Ye Jing's contact information.
She thought Ye Jing would agree, but she didn't expect that she would go to see Jiang Yushan first to ask for his consent and get his approval.
Jiang Yushan patted her lower back and said, "Thank you, Miss Chen, for thinking highly of you. It also means that Brother Zhou Er thinks highly of you. Please add your contact information."
Treating women as accessories, Ye Jing could only do this with his permission, which gave Chen Zan a very bad impression.
After adding the contact information, Ye Jing said politely, "I will be staying in Rongchuan with Mr. Jiang for a while. Miss Chen, please contact me when you are free."
Chen Zhan said yes.
The car stopped outside. Zhou Jingyu escorted the person out. Before closing the car door, Zhou Jingyu seemed to have guessed Chen Zhan's subtle mood just now. He explained in a low voice: "Jiang Yushan sometimes speaks and acts erratically. Don't take it to heart. Ye Jing followed him voluntarily."
In fact, they were all used to it. He didn't want Chen Zan to feel unhappy after entering her circle, so he wanted to explain to her.

It only took twenty minutes to drive Chen Zan back to school.
Zhang Qing drove the car directly into the school. At this time, there was no one downstairs in the dormitory, so there would be no gossip.
When Chen Zan got off the car, Zhang Qing kindly reminded him.
"Ms. Chen, Mr. Zhou has a special status, and there are many people around him who want to curry favor with him. If you follow Mr. Zhou, you will represent Mr. Zhou's position when you go out.
Mr. Jiang is Mr. Zhou's childhood friend, so Miss Ye is an exception. From now on, when you go out with Mr. Zhou, if someone wants to win you over, Miss Chen needs to be smart and not let them take advantage of you, and don't harm Mr. Zhou."
In the circle, it was normal for Ye Jing to seek Jiang Yushan's consent for something like this. Chen Zhan had just followed Mr. Zhou and had a special status, so she didn't understand these rules. Mr. Zhou didn't intend for her to abide by them. Zhang Qing said this just to prevent Miss Chen's kindness from being exploited by those with ulterior motives.
——
After Zhou Jingyu came back from a business trip, he attended different parties every day. Perhaps from Chen Zan's reaction that night, he knew that she didn't like such occasions, so he didn't take her to participate.
Chen Zan has to catch up on his missed lessons these two days, and also take time to visit his grandmother in the hospital. It happens to be the weekend, and Xu Jing feels that things are not going well at home recently, so she wants to go to Zhaopu Temple in Qingshan to pay her respects before her grandmother is discharged from the hospital.
It was just right to bring Chen Zan along.
Seeing that Zhou Jingyu had not contacted her in the past two days, Chen Zan thought that he would not have anything to do during the day, so she followed Ms. Xu.
Director Gu was driving the car. From the day after grandma's surgery, the two of them seemed to have broken through the window paper. At first, Xu Jing was afraid that Chen Zan would not agree, but she was quite supportive of the university, so she felt relieved.
At the foot of the temple, Chen Zhan also made a video call with his grandmother. Ms. Chen Jiaohua likes antique calligraphy and paintings, and growing flowers and plants, but she is not as keen on these feudal superstitions as ordinary old people.
The dishonest old lady was told off by Ms. Xu over the phone at the foot of the mountain. Chen Jiaohua sighed and complained to Chen Zhan: "Your mother bullied me because I was not well yet. Look at her now. She dares to teach me a lesson."
Sometimes Xu Jing really couldn't do anything with Chen Jiaohua, not to mention how she dared to lecture the old lady. She just said, "When you come to worship Buddha, you must be sincere. Otherwise, you will slander Buddha, and Buddha will not bless you with a speedy health."
Chen Jiaohua immediately retorted, "Why don't you pay your respects to Xiao Gu next to you? I think this disease can be cured faster."
Director Gu quickly said that his magic was not that effective and asked the old lady to take good care of herself in the hospital and to worship Buddha sincerely.
Chen Zan couldn't help laughing as he listened to this. It seemed that with Ms. Xu taking care of her grandmother these days, the relationship between them had eased a little.
They arrived early, the morning mist had not yet dissipated, and the mountain wind was a bit biting.
However, Qingshan is far away from the city and close to the ethnic minority state area. The smog is not as serious as in the city. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and even the air is fresh.
The morning sun rises and shines beside us, dispelling the cold.
Chen Zan was wearing a long wool coat with a patchwork structure and a built-in scarf today. The belt pinched her narrow waist, and the scarf revealed a small part of her fair and slender neck. When she lowered her head slightly, the lower half of her neck naturally sank into it.
She wore an elegant and warm French bowler hat with her hair tied up inside. From a distance, her dazzlingly white face was revealed. When the mountain breeze blew slightly, her cheeks became rosy from her skin.
Chen Zhan is very good-looking, and his biological mother Xu Jing is naturally also very beautiful. Director Gu took the two beautiful ladies up the mountain, and people who love beauty often looked back at them.
