Chapter 76 I thought you were unhappy
In the second half of the meal, Chen Zan was really afraid that Zhang Qing would go back and tell Zhou Jingyu, and then he would come over without saying hello.
Fortunately, Zhou Jingyu knew his limits and did not come over. He just sent a message to Chen Zan alone.
zjy: "Secretary Zhang said you and your family were also having dinner at the restaurant?"
Seeing that no one at the table was paying attention to her, Chen Zhan quickly typed a reply: "Well, today is a family dinner."
zjy: "You want me to come over and say hello?"
Chen Zan's finger tapped on the screen, stunned. In the end, he could only reply: "."
The meaning was very clear, she didn't really want him to come over.
Zhou Jingyu was also a smart man. He understood her hint and did not send any more messages.
After paying the bill, Gu Wenjun went to the parking lot to drive the car over, while they waited at the door. A man dressed as a hotel manager came forward and asked, "Excuse me, is this Ms. Chen?"
Several people looked over. Chen Zhan said nothing. Xu Jing's eyes showed vigilance. Chen Jiaohua asked openly, "Are you asking me?"
The manager said, "Yes, Ms. Chen, Mr. Zhou's staff said you and your family are having dinner here. Mr. Zhou himself is not convenient to come over to say hello, but he asked his staff to send some supplements for you to take home to replenish your body."
As they were talking, several waiters came over with several boxes of cordyceps sinensis and top-grade sea cucumbers, all of which were first-class tonics.
Chen Jiaohua didn't intend to accept it, but the manager said, "Madam, please don't make things difficult for us, the staff. If you really don't want to accept it, could you please call Mr. Zhou in person so I can explain it to you?"
When Zhou Jingyu came to visit before, Chen Jiaohua only invited him to drink a cup of tea and did not even stay for dinner, which shows how coldly she treated him.
She had the contact information of the old lady of the Zhou family, but not Zhou Jingyu's.
Regardless of whether she was going to pick up anything or not, Chen Jiaohua seemed to have to go there to avoid being impolite.
Gu Wenjun happened to come over and asked them to take the things to the car and put them away first. Chen Zhan wanted to accompany his grandmother up, but Xu Jing stopped him and said, "You and your Uncle Gu go to the car and wait for us first."
Chen Zhan said "Oh", but it was not appropriate to follow him. He helped carry the things out. Gu Wenjun closed the trunk and asked, "Did your mother and grandmother go to see Mr. Zhou?"
She nodded and said yes.
"Let's get in the car first. It's cold outside. They should be here for a while."
Gu Wenjun turned on the air conditioner in the car in advance.
Although it doesn't snow in Rongchuan in winter, the cold and damp weather is really uncomfortable.
She returned to the car, wondering whether to send a message to Zhou Jingyu. While she was hesitating, Jin Hanzhou sent her a message.
Jin Hanzhou: "Is that your grandmother and mother?"
Chen Zan suddenly remembered that Secretary Song was Jin Hanzhou's father.
Chen Zan asked nervously, "What are they talking about?"
Jin Hanzhou: "We didn't talk much. It seems like your grandmother and your mother don't like Mr. Zhou very much."
Chen Zhan: "Well, don't talk about my business."
Jin Hanzhou: "Chen Zan, I'm not someone who likes to complain."
After a while, Jin Hanzhou sent another message.
"It's surprising that your grandfather once worked with my father."
"If your grandfather hadn't been in trouble, we might have been childhood sweethearts."
Chen Zhan looked at the message, pursed his lips, and didn't know how to respond.
She only knew that her grandfather used to work for the Zhou family in the capital, otherwise Old Lady Zhou would not have arranged a marriage for her grandmother and grandfather. But later on, her grandfather was won over by another faction, and she couldn't explain what happened in politics. Anyway, it was just like the court in ancient times, if he failed, he would be demoted.
When he came to Rongchuan, he met the enemy he had offended in his childhood when he worked for the Zhou family in Beijing. He bullied his grandfather because he had no power at that time, and was eventually hit and killed by the enemy's car.
Secretary Song should have followed the Zhou family in Beijing before.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Xu Jing helped Chen Jiaohua out, and Gu Wenjun went down to open the door.
Chen Zhan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Grandma, what did you say when you went up there?"
Before Chen Jiaohua could say anything, Xu Jing said coldly, "Don't ask about these things."
Chen Zan shut up angrily.
Chen Jiaohua asked at this moment: "Is Secretary Song's child in the same school as you?"
Chen Zhan pretended not to know, "Who is it?"
Chen Jiaohua looked like she was shrewd and said, "Don't pretend, I know everything." "That kid's name is Jin Hanzhou, right? He seems quite polite to me."
Xu Jing rarely praised him, "You are a good boy. You are from the same school. You should learn more from him. He won a prize in the competition you signed up for as a freshman."
Chen Zan picked at his fingers and humbly accepted the instruction.
She was also more curious about what they talked about upstairs. Jin Hanzhou didn't tell her, but Zhou Jingyu must be unhappy, and he ignored her for the whole day.
The next day, she couldn't help but call Secretary Zhang to find out what happened yesterday.
Zhang Qing said that Mr. Zhou was busy these two days, so he didn't have time to send her a message.
Chen Zan didn't believe this.
Zhang Qingjian was unable to resist and said, "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with you, Miss Chen. It's just that Mr. Zhou is jealous. It will be fine in a few days."
Only then did Chen Zan know that yesterday Xu Jing accompanied Chen Jiaohua upstairs and learned that Secretary Song's son Jin Hanzhou was also studying at Rong University. Chen Jiaohua asked Jin Hanzhou a few more questions. Jin Hanzhou poured tea and water and said that Chen Zan was excellent in school to make the old lady happy.
Even Zhou Jingyu felt uncomfortable listening to this, especially since Chen Jiaohua and Xu Jing, mother and daughter, had made it clear that they wanted to draw a clear line between themselves and him and their Zhou family.
Chen Zan understood what was going on. She had noticed before that Zhou Jingyu was a very jealous person. Whenever someone confessed to her, he would "deal with" her, not to mention that the old lady and Ms. Xu admired Jin Hanzhou in front of him this time.
They lived in peace for a day, but then he became jealous again.
During dinner, Xu Jing accompanied the old lady for a walk, and Chen Zan took the time to go out and take a taxi to the mall.
Zhou Jingyu had given her many gifts before, but she had never reciprocated once, which was a bit impolite. She hoped that he would not be so jealous this time, otherwise she didn't want to be punished again.
Chen Zan went shopping in the mall and finally bought a silver tie clip at the suggestion of SA, who said it was versatile and could be worn in any occasion.
Several thousand dollars is not cheap for a student. She did not use Zhou Jingyu's money, but bought it with her own money, so that she can be considered sincere.
After buying the things and returning home, before she could contact Zhou Jingyu again, he called her.
She looked at the caller ID flashing on her phone screen, hid in her room and locked the door before she dared to answer the phone.
Zhou Jingyu's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone: "Are you at home?"
Chen Zhan hummed, "What about you? Are you still out socializing?"
She could hear the background noise from the other side, which didn't sound like home.
Zhou Jingyu: "Just came out of the company."
Chen Zhan said in a cute way: "Mr. Zhou, thank you for your hard work."
Zhou Jingyu chuckled, "I heard from Zhang Qing that you called him to find my number?"
She said truthfully, "I thought you were unhappy and angry."
Zhou Jingyu was stunned for a moment before realizing what she was referring to.
"I'm a little unhappy, but not angry." Zhou Jingyu explained slowly, "I had some things to deal with these past two days. I didn't reply to your message because I wanted you to stay home and spend time with your family."
It turned out that she had misunderstood. She said hesitantly, "Okay."
However, Zhou Jingyu still said: "But Zhanzhan, I'm very happy that you can take the initiative to care about me."
Chen Zhan touched his earlobe and said, "As long as you are happy, that's all that matters."
Zhou Jingyu: "When will you return to school tomorrow?"
Chen Zhan: "In the afternoon."
"Come with me to a private auction tomorrow night. Didn't you say yesterday that you didn't like the necklace? Come see if there's anything you like."
"I need to think about it." Chen Zan hesitated. If a reporter took pictures at the scene, someone with Zhou Jingyu's identity would definitely be reported in the news.
Zhou Jingyu knew her concerns and said, "No reporters or media will be invited to the event. Please accompany me."
Since things had come to this, Chen Zhan had no choice but to agree. He put the tie clip he had bought into his schoolbag and took it over tomorrow.
