Chapter 88 Intentionally Promote Her
Chen Zan returned to the countryside. On weekends, Zhou Jingyu would send a car to pick her up, and the car would be parked a little way away from the bus stop.
She told her grandmother that she wanted to go play with Xu Anan for two days. Chen Jiaohua didn't suspect anything else. It was winter vacation, and it was normal for a child to want to go out and play. How could she stay at home with an old lady like her all the time?
Anyway, the nanny was still there recently, so she told her to go without worry and she would not tell Xu Jing about this.
Chen Zhan hugged Chen Jiaohua's arm and acted coquettishly, "Grandma, call me if you have anything."
Chen Jiaohua was disgusted by the corny words and told her to leave quickly and not to delay her while she took the nanny to play cards at Aunt Qing's house.
Chen Zan took the bag and went out, walking along the asphalt road outside until he turned a corner. When he was sure that there was no one around, he quickly opened the car door and got in.
She thought that it was Jingfu's driver who came to pick her up today, but after getting in the car, she found Zhou Jingyu sitting in the back car reading documents.
Hearing the noise, the man shifted his gaze from the documents and turned his head to look at her. The charming mole on her eyelid was faintly visible between her thin double eyelids, which was very alluring.
Chen Zhan was surprised: "Mr. Zhou, why did you come here in person?"
Zhou Jingyu smiled, "I heard someone say he didn't miss me, so naturally I have to come and arrest him myself."
That was last night when they were talking on the phone while hiding under the quilt. Zhou Jingyu asked if he missed him. He always liked to ask this question when he called, as if he had to hear Chen Zan admit in person that he was thinking about him.
Chen Zan had originally planned to go find him today, so he deliberately said that he didn't want to. Unexpectedly, Zhou Jingyu took it seriously and came in person.
She said with some guilt: "Aren't you very busy during the New Year? Why are you wasting your time making this trip when I'm almost here?"
Zhou Jingyu raised his hand and pinched her cheek, "You really have no conscience."
Chen Zhan hugged him like he had just hugged his grandmother's arm and acted like a spoiled child, "Mr. Zhou, I was wrong."
I haven't seen this little girl for a week. It's winter vacation now, but I don't see her as often as when she was in school.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down, he pinched her chin and lifted it up, then lowered his head to cover it. Seeing this, the driver in the front seat quickly raised the rear seat barrier.
Zhou Jingyu picked up Chen Zan and did not go back to Jing Mansion directly. Instead, he took her to a dinner party. There were many people at the dinner party. Chen Zan took a glance and found that several leading officials were people who often appeared on Rongchuan local TV station.
Not only that, even the Song and Wei families were there. Jin Yunyi had met Chen Zan at the auction last time, and she was obviously much more familiar with her when they met today.
Zhou Jingyu, a grown man, certainly wouldn't care enough about taking care of Chen Zan in such a situation, so he just let Zhou Jingyu give her to her.
Song Changyun also said: "Jingyu, let Yunyi take the little girl. They can sit at the women's table so it will be more convenient for them to talk."
Zhou Jingyu did not give a direct answer, but turned his head to look at Chen Zan and asked for her opinion.
Zhou Jingyu's box was almost entirely filled with men, and she really didn't want to see Wei Qiming, so she nodded.
"Then you can go and play with Mrs. Song. If you have any problems, come to me directly." Zhou Jingyu reminded him in a gentle voice.
Chen Zan said obediently, "I know."
In the other box, the guests were all the legitimate wives of the leaders and CEOs, and they all looked at Chen Zan with curiosity.
After all, among this circle of wives of officials and bosses, Chen Zan's special identity is unique.
But no one dared to look down on her. Jin Yunyi was Song Changyun's wife and was always polite to Chen Zan. She took good care of her and never let her do anything, even small things like pouring water, so she had to do it herself.
Even Chen Zhan felt embarrassed and said, "Madam, I'll do it myself. You go ahead and do your thing."
"Miss Chen, you don't have to be polite to me. The Song family has always been under the care of the Zhou family. You are Jing Yu's follower, so it is my responsibility to take care of you."
Naturally, all of this was seen by the other people at the dinner party. The ladies were even more polite and flattering to Chen Zan, inviting her to go shopping and have tea, and praising her with all kinds of nice words as if they were free.
Chen Zan didn't know what to do.
During this dinner, it was rumored that Mr. Zhou doted on the female college student who was with him, and even Mrs. Song accompanied him throughout.
The last auction was also a big deal. Some people speculated that Mr. Zhou really likes women and that the female student is very capable.
Someone retorted, "If a young master like that wants to pamper someone, he has plenty of ways to do it. It all depends on whether he can handle this overwhelming wealth."
Some people disagreed and said, "There is no such thing as overwhelming wealth. Such a person cannot enter the Zhou family. He is just playing around when he is young."
"I think Mr. Zhou's affection is genuine. Perhaps he really cares about me."
"Being concerned doesn't necessarily mean being sincere. Maybe when she leaves Rongchuan one day, she will be a thing of the past."
"I think you are just jealous. Now even Madam Song is trying to curry favor with you. Can't you see the situation clearly? In the whole Rongchuan, which lady dares to surpass Jin Yunyi? Only Chen Zhan is a unique example. Mr. Zhou is clearly praising her to the sky."
"Mrs. Shen is right. Those of you who are talking should keep your mouths shut. Don't say anything out loud. Be careful not to offend Miss Chen. The fearless young master Wei of the Wei family almost had his hand crippled for offending her."
Chen Zan went to the bathroom with Jin Yunyi. When they came back, the door of the box was not closed tightly, so they heard the discussions inside.
He stood outside, not going in, but not moving. He just stood there listening, with no expression on his face.
Jin Yunyi came back at some point and stood behind her, adjusting the pearl earrings on her earlobes.
She said in a very light tone: "What these women say is what their men are thinking. When you are with Zhou Jingyu, you can often hear these words."
Chen Zhan looked back at her and said calmly, "Mrs. Song, you did this on purpose today, didn't you?"
Just now during the banquet, Chen Zan realized that Jin Yunyi was deliberately praising her and doing it for those people to see.
Jin Yunyi remained noncommittal. "Miss Chen, being a canary isn't easy. The ladies who came here today, the men have their own affairs to attend to, and the women have their own affairs to attend to. You need to learn more."
Chen Zan silently read the word "canary" in his heart and found it really interesting. He should have looked down on her status from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps it was because she almost implicated her son, but he had to pretend that he was teaching her a lesson for her own good.
After Jin Yunyi finished speaking, he pushed open the door of the box, and the discussions inside stopped abruptly.
Afterwards, the men closed the door and talked about things, while the women played cards and listened to opera to pass the time.
Chen Zhan stood up from his chair and walked straight to the private room where the men were discussing matters. Someone was watching at the door, "Miss Chen, you can't go in there."
Chen Zhan folded his arms across his chest and raised his chin slightly. "Open it. I want to find Zhou Jingyu."
Even Song Changyun and Wei Qiming didn't dare to call Zhou Jingyu by his full name. It was estimated that only Chen Zhan in the whole Rongchuan dared to do so.
The others didn't dare to offend her, so they said, "Please wait a moment."
Someone went in to pass on a message, and soon Zhang Qing came out, "Miss Chen, what's going on?"
Chen Zan frowned, "Where's Zhou Jingyu? I want to see him."
Zhang Qing paused and looked at her seriously as if she was thinking.
Chen Zhan said directly: "No need to talk to him alone, just take me in to find him."
Zhang Qing: "Miss Chen, please follow me."
After saying that, he brought Chen Zan in.
