Chapter 73 Rumors
When Chen Zan went downstairs, the aunt had already prepared lunch and the clothes on the sofa and stairs had been taken away for washing, which was enough to show how crazy they had been last night.
Compared to Chen Zan who was a little restrained in front of outsiders, Zhou Jingyu was much more relaxed and asked her what her plans were for New Year's Day.
Chen Zhan pondered for a moment and said, "I have to go home this afternoon, so I may not be able to accompany you."
She has to stay home for the three days of New Year's Day.
Afraid that her words would spoil his mood, she secretly raised her eyes to look at him.
Meeting the man's deep gaze, Chen Zhan pursed his lips.
Zhou Jingyu hummed calmly, "I'll ask Zhang Qing to arrange a driver to take you back this afternoon."
Chen Zhan was stunned. "Are you angry?"
Zhou Jingyu was somewhat helpless when he heard this. "How can you tell that I'm angry? In your eyes, am I so moody?"
Chen Zhan shook his head, but isn't it said that people in high positions are all so moody?
This is the standard configuration in the domineering CEO novels that Shu Su often reads.
Zhou Jingyu's identity is much more powerful than those domineering CEOs.
Chen Zhan curled his eyes awkwardly and smiled ingratiatingly.
Zhou Jingyu explained that he had to go back to the company in the next two days to deal with the pile of work and had no time to accompany her, so it was a good opportunity for her to go home and spend the holiday with her family.
Secretary Zhang came after lunch, holding a gift bag from a luxury brand. She handed it to Chen Zhan, "Ms. Chen, this is a holiday gift from Mr. Zhou."
Chen Zhan was a little surprised. Zhou Jingyu came out of the study and took it from Zhang Qing's hand. He then took out the necklace from inside and put it on her behind her. "I came back in a hurry this time and didn't prepare anything good. Just take it with you for now."
Last night, I took her to watch the fireworks out of necessity. It seemed that as long as Zhou Jingyu was not satisfied, I would just compromise.
Chen Zan knew this brand and had gone shopping with Xu Anan twice. Whenever she went there to buy a necklace, she had to grit her teeth and make up her mind before paying, and she had to use her mother's membership name, so she couldn't buy it with her own spending qualifications.
After the two previous times when Zhou Jingyu gave her something, even if Chen Zhan said it was too expensive, he would still force it on her. So this time, Chen Zhan learned his lesson and said, "Mr. Zhou, I don't really like wearing necklaces."
Zhou Jingyu hummed calmly, "If you don't like it, take it home and leave it there. I'll pick out a better one for you in a couple of days."
Afterwards, he asked Zhang Qing to arrange a driver to take Chen Zan back. Zhang Qing also drove Zhou Jingyu to the company. The two cars drove out of Jing Mansion one after another.
On the way home, Chen Zhan took off the necklace and put it in her bag. New messages kept coming into her phone. She had been with Zhou Jingyu before, so she only had time to check them now.
The dormitory groups and the student union groups are the most lively. There are also many friends who were added at an unknown time. Most of them are classmates organized by the student union and the college who come to chat privately about the confession of He Ran, the department grass, last night.
A special message was also sent in the group.
"Oh my god, this is so exciting, it's a shame I didn't go to see it in person."
"Is He Ran a freshman? As expected, younger brothers are really fierce when they confess their love."
"So did Chen Zan agree last night? Curious?"
"I sent a private message to him, but he didn't reply."
"What? Chen Zan didn't even come back to school last night. I heard from students who were there that it was a big event, but Chen Zan didn't show up at all. It was her roommate who persuaded He Ran to go back."
"Hahaha, that's so embarrassing. The person I'm confessing to isn't here."
"Well, actually, my friend said he saw Chen Zan returning to the dormitory at that time last night. I heard he got into a luxury car..."
When Chen Zan saw this, his heart skipped a beat.
But soon someone in the group refuted her claim.
"Liu Jia, you'll die if you don't make a girl's dirty talk, right?"
"That's right, isn't it disgusting?"
"Be careful not to be seen by Xu Anan, or she'll scold you to death."
Liu Jia: "Really? There's a post on the forum, go check it out for yourself."
Xu Anan appeared next, and in her 60-second speech, she began to pour out a stream of traditional Chinese culture.
Liu Jia quickly typed an apology: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong, but I can't retract the message. Please help me push it up."
Before Chen Zan finished listening to the voice message, he quickly logged into the forum to look for the post that Liu Jia mentioned.
It was posted last night at midnight, and not many people saw it. The general meaning is that a girl went out to buy some midnight snacks last night, and when she came back she vaguely saw someone who looked like Chen Zan get into a car. She recognized the logo of the car and knew it was expensive, but there were no lights on in the car and the windows were dark, so she couldn't see anything.
The girl originally wanted to go and confirm, but she didn't dare to, and she was not familiar with Chen Zan, so she didn't go.
It was just a few short sentences, with no pictures or truth. There were two replies below asking for photos, but the girls couldn't produce any evidence, so the post received little discussion and quickly faded away. No one was too idle to push the post up, but there was a lot of discussion about He Ran confessing his love downstairs in the girls' dormitory.
After reading it, Chen Zan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she should not meet Zhou Jingyu easily at school in the future. At that time, she clearly remembered that there was no one behind her, so she dared to get on the car. She was so cautious but was still seen.
Last night, Shu Su and Shen Tangyue told Xu Anan about what happened last night in the dormitory group, so apart from the first few questions she asked in private at the beginning, she didn't ask any more questions.
It was common for Chen Zan to be confessed to, and Xu Anan and the others were used to it. Except that the commotion this time was a bit loud, there was no difference. What people in the group discussed more was that Anan sent her photos taken at the party last night, and that a big man spent a huge amount of money to treat the whole city to a fireworks show on the riverside for New Year's Eve.
Last night, Xu Anan was also at the riverside and watched the midnight New Year's Eve fireworks. She took a video and posted it in the group chat, and tagged Shu Su and said, "Shu Su, I met a real-life boss chasing my wife. It's a pity you didn't come to the scene, hahaha."
Shusu: “???”
Xu Anan: "One boss treated us to a half-hour fireworks display by the river to please his girlfriend. It was so beautiful."
In fact, what Xu Anan said made sense. Last night, they took a taxi from the hotel and rushed to the riverside to celebrate the New Year. They happened to meet a small truck driver who was coming with a truck full of fireworks.
At that time, they thought it was organized by the city to set off fireworks on the riverside, across from the Twin Towers. In the past, the city would do this during the Chinese New Year to make it lively.
So I asked casually out of curiosity, but to my surprise, the man who was carrying the fireworks said, "It's not from the city. We took a last-minute order half an hour ago. A big boss bought the fireworks from the city at a high price. He said he wanted to cheer up his girlfriend."
The master earned nearly ten times more money than usual, and was happy even to work overtime in the middle of the night.
Only then did Xu Anan realize that they were benefiting from the big boss's girlfriend. As for who the big boss was, no one knew.
Anyway, the fireworks lasted for half an hour without stopping. If the boss's subordinates had not only bought so many in the middle of the night, they would probably have been set off all night long.
After Chen Zhan finished reading the chat history, his mind suddenly flashed back to last night when they were on the terrace garden by the river, kissing passionately at 10:00 a.m. like countless ordinary couples.
A very subtle emotion arose in her heart, but she calmly told herself that she and Zhou Jingyu were like fireworks. No matter how beautiful they were now, they would be short-lived. It was okay to fall into it, but she must not take it seriously and lose herself.
She slid her finger upwards, clicked on the photo of Zhou Jingyu that Xu Anan posted in the group, and pressed save.
I typed, "An An, I got the photo."
Xu Anan didn't reply to the message. I don't know if she hasn't woken up yet or if she went out with her family today.
Shu Su replied in the group chat: "Zhanzhan, the photo of you and Mr. Zhou that An An took is absolutely stunning."
When Xu Anan posted the photo, Shu Su and Chen Tangyue had already praised her in the group, and Zhou Jingyu's photo was widely praised.
They thought Mr. Zhou was cold and unapproachable, but they didn't expect that he would have such a bohemian and ruffian side in private. Just looking at the photos is enough to make people excited.
