Chapter 92 Zhou Jingyu's Life
Although Zhou Jingyu's mansion is not much bigger than Jing Mansion, it is more exquisite than Jing Mansion. It has everything that Jing Mansion has. It is not luxurious, but you can tell at a glance that it has a deep heritage.
Families like theirs didn't like extravagant decor, preferring to collect vintage finds. Zhou Jingyu didn't like having too many people in his household, so servants generally had their own quarters and didn't usually hang around in front of the head of the household.
Chen Zan was curious, "Does the rest of the Zhou family live here too?"
Zhang Qing was stunned for a moment before explaining, "No, the eldest son of the Zhou family works at the military headquarters, so he lives in the compound with the old commander's family. As for Mr. Zhou's father, he and his family live alone with the third daughter, so I can't reveal their address."
Chen Zhan was puzzled, "Is this a split?"
Zhang Qing was stunned. There were some things that shouldn't be said, but Chen Zan was indeed not an outsider. Mr. Zhou was very fond of her. Maybe she had met some people during this trip to the capital. Besides, this was not a secret that could not be told.
"Ms. Chen, Mr. Zhou's family is special." Then he thought for a moment and explained, "Mr. Zhou is the second child in this generation, but he and the eldest young master and young lady do not have the same mother."
When Chen Zhan heard this, he gave him a surprised look.
Zhang Qing saw the look in her eyes and knew he had strayed from the topic. He continued to explain, "Miss Chen, the mothers of Mr. Zhou and his two siblings were not all born to the same wife. The eldest son was born to the first wife. When he was ten years old, he divorced Mr. Zhou's father and married Mr. Zhou's mother. Unfortunately, his wife passed away when Mr. Zhou was two years old."
Chen Zhan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Zhou Jingyu had never mentioned his parents to her. She had always believed that family matters were private. It was no wonder Zhou Jingyu lived alone after returning to Beijing. It turned out his mother had passed away when he was so young.
Zhang Qing felt that since he had come this far, he didn't need to say everything. "Although the Zhou family treats the three younger generations equally, and the relationship between the three siblings is average, Mr. Zhou's position in the Zhou family is actually quite awkward. As the second child in the family, he doesn't have the support of his mother's family like the eldest son, nor is he as favored as Miss Zhou. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent thousands of miles away to Rongchuan. People say that Mr. Zhou is going there to gild his reputation..."
When he said this, he smiled bitterly.
Chen Zan understood what he wanted to express. As the second young master of the Zhou family, Zhou Jingyu was born into a wealthy family in the eyes of outsiders. His family members were all powerful people, so he naturally had a noble status.
People like Xie Huaiqian and Jiang Yushan were able to stay in the capital, but people with more noble status like Zhou Jingyu were sent to Rongchuan. The people in Rongchuan only looked at Zhou Jingyu's status and knew that he was the young master of the Zhou family, so they thought he was going there to gild his reputation. If he didn't have the ability to climb up and make some achievements, if he wanted to return to the capital, he was afraid that no one in his family would sincerely help him.
Zhang Qingyan said all that he wanted to say, and he only hoped that Chen Zan could treat Zhou Jingyu sincerely. Mr. Zhou's love for her was real and he had even fallen in love with her a long time ago.
Chen Zhan suppressed the slight pain in his heart and said, "Secretary Zhang, thank you for talking to me today."
Zhang Qing smiled calmly, "I hope Miss Chen doesn't mind my nostalgia. The servants have already prepared a set of your daily necessities in Mr. Zhou's room. If you need anything, you can call the internal line directly. Mr. Zhou will need someone there for a while, so I'll be leaving first."
——
After Zhang Qing left, Chen Zan went to the master bedroom upstairs to wash up.
As soon as she came out of the bathroom, she saw snow falling outside the floor-to-ceiling window. On the way back from the airport, the snow had been cleared away during the day. She picked up her phone, took a picture and sent it to Xu Anan.
She had just landed on the plane and had just checked into the hotel. She chatted with her bestie late into the night, got up early in the morning, and had been busy all day. Chen Zan lay on the sofa, holding her phone, and fell asleep unknowingly.
She was awakened by a barrage of kisses, the scent of alcohol stirring in her lips, the room filled with the sound of kissing. Chen Zan stopped breathing and began to gasp for air. At this time, the man became more and more aggressive.
In a daze, there was no light in the room, only the light from the street lamp in the yard below shone in. Chen Zhan knew who was leaning on her and asking for a kiss, so she subconsciously put her arms around his shoulders.
After a moment of hesitation, the man kissed her even more fiercely. He pinched her waist with his big hands and untied the belt of her bathrobe. His hands still carried the chill from outside when he just came back. She shuddered and shrank violently.
There was only a low laugh in the ear, and the cinnabar mole on the heart was kissed, and a blushing sound came out of Chen Zhan's lips.
Outside, the winter crabapple leaves in the yard fell, and the branches were completely wet with dew. At some point in the night, heavy snow fell again, and the fluttering snow just pressed down on the branches. The growing crabapple winter buds were shaken and wetted, until they were completely covered and swallowed by the snow.
The branches, bent by the weight, finally began to buckle under the pressure and were bent into terrifying arcs, as if they would break at any moment. However, the snow kept falling, and it was destined not to let go of these tender buds. They could only be shaken continuously in the wind and snow, and the falling snow was scattered all over the ground...
Zhou Jingyu was particularly excited that night, and Chen Zan was tossed around. Perhaps it was because he had heard about Zhou Jingyu's life story before, his heart ached, but he subconsciously wanted to cooperate with his brutality.
It seems that this is used to fill the emotional gap that has been taken away but never possessed.
She knew that someone of Zhou Jingyu's status didn't need anyone to feel sorry for him. His starting point was already a height that most people would be afraid to reach, so it wasn't her turn to feel sorry for him.
Even when he was exhausted, Zhou Jingyu still held her and didn't want to take a shower. He lowered his head and caressed her neck tenderly.
Chen Zhan buried his face in the crook of his neck and called out aggrievedly, "Zhou Jingyu."
The man paused his gentle kiss, "What's wrong? Did it hurt you?"
Chen Zhan shook his head, "No, I just want you to hug me."
Zhou Jingyu was stunned for a moment, then said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Zhanzhan, something happened at home tonight, so I can't pick you up."
He thought it was because Chen Zan came to the capital and he didn't go to pick her up. As a little girl, she always liked to be unconditionally favored by her boyfriend in everything, not to mention that this was her first time in the capital.
Chen Zan shook his head and said that was not the case.
Zhou Jingyu was puzzled, but she didn't want to tell him because she heard that his mother had died early.
I could only say with resentment: "You asked me to come to the capital just to sleep with me."
Zhou Jingyu: “…”
