Chapter 82 Paving the Way
There were some things Chen Zan had not originally intended to tell Xu Anan. After all, the matter was in the past. Telling her would do no good except making her worry for no reason.
Xu Anan was really angry now, "If you don't tell me, it means you don't consider me a friend, or you think I can't help you, right?"
Chen Zan quickly shook her head. Under the circumstances at that time, there was really no one else who could help her except Zhou Jingyu, so how could she possibly despise Xu Anan for not being able to help.
She had no choice but to explain everything, from how Luo Qiuyue tricked her out and sent her to Zhou Jingyu's bed, to her grandmother's surgery, her mother's work, her studies, and the phone threats from the Wei family, one step after another.
When Chen Zan thinks about those things now, it seems like it happened just yesterday.
She spoke calmly, but Xu Anan cried like a tearful person, with snot and tears streaming down her face.
Not to mention whether she was angry or not, she just felt heartbroken. At that time, Luo Qiuyue reported Chen Zan for plagiarism, and almost the whole school knew about it.
However, the matter was resolved too quickly. In the afternoon, Luo Qiuyue released an apology video at the police station. At that time, people thought that the school had called the police, and the police helped a lot in investigating and clarifying the matter.
No wonder they all felt that something was wrong with Chen Zan during those days and were planning to ask her about it, but they didn't know that there were so many things hidden in it.
"Zhanzhan, wow, you're in such a pity! The Wei family is such a bully." Xu Anan hugged Chen Zan and cried bitterly, "Fortunately, Mr. Zhou helped me."
I guess Zhanzhan knew at that time that even if she told them these things, they would be unable to help her except worrying about it.
Feeling her shoulders wet with tears, Chen Zhan patted her back helplessly and said, "It's all over now. Luo Qiuyue was sentenced to three years, and Wei Yunxi doesn't dare to bother me now. Grandma's illness is almost healed, and she's been nagging you to visit her."
Xu Anan said in a muffled voice, "Don't comfort me, I should be the one comforting you."
Chen Zhan chuckled, "Then why are you crying?"
Xu Anan sniffed, "I can't help it."
As she spoke, tears were about to fall again. "But from this point of view, Mr. Zhou is still a good person. I just can't believe that Mr. Zhou's rumored girlfriend is you."
Suddenly, I remembered something else. "Did you tell Mr. Zhou about the school anniversary before? That's why Secretary Zhang called me."
Chen Zan did not deny it.
Xu Anan pouted: "You hid it really well."
The tears were over, and the incident was over. Xu Anan's emotions came and went quickly, and she even felt like gossiping, "Is Mr. Zhou good to you?"
For some things, you can't just listen to what outsiders say. If it concerns the sisters around you, you should still ask for peace of mind.
Chen Zan nodded, "Very good."
To be fair, when she was with Zhou Jingyu, he never treated her badly. He taught her a lot of things and was very good at making her happy.
Xu Anan was completely relieved after hearing this, and her eyes moved to her earrings that were so gorgeous that they were almost blinding. Although they were gorgeous, Chen Zan managed to control them very well with her graceful and cool temperament.
He sighed softly, "I don't think Mr. Zhou is a stingy person. So, are you going to go back to the capital with him in the future? My father said that he won't be able to stay in the capital for long, and the Zhou family will definitely enter the officialdom in the future."
Chen Zan's face froze slightly when he heard this.
Xu Anan was puzzled: "Are you still going to have a long-distance relationship?"
Chen Zhan pursed his lips and said, "An An, Mr. Zhou and I may not be in the relationship you imagined."
Xu Anan was stunned for just a moment, then quickly realized what this meant. Her expression became serious as she cursed, "Damn, scumbag!!"
Fortunately, she just praised Zhou Jingyu as a good person.
Chen Zhan pulled her arm guiltily and whispered, "Well, stop scolding me. It has nothing to do with him. This is actually what I meant."
Xu Anan looked at her as if she was mentally retarded, "Chen Zan, are you sick?"
Instead of being a serious girlfriend, you have to be someone else's lover?
Chen Zhan knew she would scold him, but he still said, "An An, I have my own considerations. He and I will break up sooner or later."
She actually knew that Zhou Jingyu seriously wanted to date her, but it was just a relationship. If she didn't use this identity to warn herself, she was afraid that she would eventually fall completely into it.
Chen Zan didn't want to.
Xu Anan asked tentatively, "Are you afraid that the gap between you two is too big? But as long as Mr. Zhou likes you, the gap in family background can be overcome these days."
Chen Zhan smiled reluctantly, "An An, you advised me before to stay away from people like Zhou Jingyu. One day, there might not even be a bone left. Even families like theirs want to marry someone of equal status."
Xu Anan scratched his head, remembering that he had said this after the October Art Exhibition.
He explained awkwardly, "Oh, at that time I thought Mr. Zhou and Wei Yunxi were the same kind of people, but now it seems they are worlds apart. After hearing what happened to you, I think Mr. Zhou is a pretty good person. Maybe you two can really cross that social barrier."
Chen Zhan understood what she meant and shook his head gently. "That's a minority of cases. Even if they do exist, both parties should be equally outstanding. Besides, I'm just a student now. Do you think something as ethereal as love can support reality?"
Unless one day she stands next to Zhou Jingyu, when the outside world sees her, they will no longer say, "Mr. Zhou has a beautiful female student by his side, and Mr. Zhou really dotes on his girlfriend."
But her name is Chen Zan.
She wanted to have her own name and didn't want to be anyone's appendage.
Xu Anan smacked her lips and was speechless.
Being in the industry, she certainly knew how difficult and unrealistic it was. She said with a distressed tone, "Zhanzhan, you are so insightful."
But I also know that although Chen Zan looks gentle on the outside, he actually has his own pride.
Chen Zhan thought, "This may have something to do with my family."
Growing up without a father, receiving education from Xu Jing must have had some influence on her.
"No matter what choice you make, I will support you." Xu Anan said in a serious tone.
"But you only need to tell me about this. Don't tell Shu Su and Tang Yue for now. Even though we're all good friends, it doesn't mean they'll accept this as I do. If word gets out one day that you and Mr. Zhou aren't having a legitimate relationship, even if it's just a rumor, it'll be very hurtful."
Chen Zhan had thought about this before, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
After things were talked out, the atmosphere became better.
Secretary Zhang knocked on the door and asked, "Ms. Chen, Ms. Xu, are you done talking?"
Chen Zhan opened the door. "Secretary Zhang, we're done talking. Where are Mr. Zhou and Uncle Xu?"
Xu Anan then remembered, "Hey, I almost forgot about my dad."
Zhang Qing couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Mr. Xu should be very happy."
How could Xu Zhiqiang not be happy? Who would have thought that Zhou Jingyu's girlfriend would be his daughter's good friend? While Chen Zan and Xu Anan went next door, Zhou Jingyu directly asked him to bid for Xidi. The meaning was self-evident.
Jiang Yushan patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Boss Xu, work hard, you have a bright future."
Xu Zhiqiang smiled from ear to ear, "Of course, of course."
Jiang Yushan raised his eyebrows and turned to look at his second brother.
Zhou Jingyu sat lazily on the sofa, playing with a cigarette in his hand. White smoke filled his sharp chin, and his indifferent eyes were filled with innate pride.
The voice he spoke in was also casual, like a reminder or a knock: "Mr. Xu, you know who to remember well.
How could Xu Zhiqiang not understand? "Miss Chen is my daughter's good friend. From now on, everything that happens to Miss Chen will be the Xu family's business."
Jiang Yushan not only understood, but was also somewhat surprised, even puzzled. Second Brother not only supported Chen Zhan himself, but also asked others to support her. He was a little too concerned.
Zhou Jingyu actually had no other thoughts. He supported the Xu family because he wanted to check and balance the companies under the Wei family.
Another important reason was that she thought that if he left Rongchuan one day, Chen Zan would not go with him. Xu was still there, and if someone else was bullied by her one day, there would be someone who could help her when he was not around.
This can be considered as paving the way for her, although this little girl may not remember my kindness.
