Zhou Chengzhi lay back on the sofa again and said, "I'm not afraid of what people outside might do. The only thing I'm afraid of is you, my brother!"
Wu Shanshan was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhou Chengzhi, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with Wu Xiaojun?"
"I didn't even know that Zhuang Zhennan was beaten to death on the border, but Wu Xiaojun has been spreading the news everywhere, just to stop others from cooperating with me, and he even said that no one who cooperates with me will have a good ending!"
"Really? This kid actually kicked me when I was down. Honey, don't be afraid, I'll always support you. As for Wu Xiaojun, when I see him again, I'll definitely give him a good scolding. How can he side with outsiders? After all, I'm his own sister, his own flesh and blood!"
"Okay! I hope you'll keep your word!"
Just then, the office phone rang.
Seeing that Zhou Chengzhi looked worried, Wu Shanshan picked up the phone and said, "Hello, who is this?"
But after Wu Shanshan spoke, the microphone went completely silent; no one spoke.
Wu Shanshan thought the phone was broken, so she took the receiver from her ear to her eyes to look at it, then patted the receiver with her hand and said, "Hello, hello!"
There was still no sound from the receiver, so she held it up to Zhou Chengzhi and said, "Is this phone broken?"
Zhou Chengzhi took the microphone from Wu Shanshan, looked at it, tapped the microphone below, and then put it to his ear and said, "Hello, who is it?"
"I am Li Jia!"
"Li, Li Jia? Why weren't you saying anything just now? Your sister-in-law thought the microphone was broken!"
"I was afraid she would misunderstand, so I didn't say anything!"
"Oh, it's okay, she won't misunderstand. How are you? Did you go to the hospital?"
"I went!"
"How about it?"
"Ugh, don't even mention it! I wasted hundreds of dollars on new clothes, thinking my charm would win Zhuang Tunan back. But instead, I ended up getting that foreign girl to agree, forcing Zhuang Tunan to propose to Anna. They've officially become boyfriend and girlfriend!"
"Haha, really? Zhuang Tunan is so infatuated with you, yet he's not moved? Impossible! Are you dressed in a way that's not sexy enough?"
"Impossible! That outfit is the sexiest and most beautiful one in the whole mall. Isn't it sexy enough? Am I supposed to wear a bikini and strike seductive poses in front of him?"
"No, that's not it. If Zhuang Tunan doesn't change his mind, you can find another way!"
"Take another path? What do you mean?"
"You're quite pretty, and with such a high level of education, how come you're so clueless? You know, to catch a thief, you must first catch the king. If you can't win over the younger ones, can't you win over the older ones?"
"The older ones? You mean his parents?"
"That's right! Although our country has reformed and opened up, traditional culture is still deeply rooted. People still value arranged marriages and parental decisions. Although Zhuang Tunan has grown up and is highly educated, let me tell you, he lacks his own opinions, so you still have a chance!"
"Really? Shall I try again? Thank you, Mr. Zhou!"
"You're welcome. That's all for now, bye!"
"Um!"
As soon as Zhou Chengzhi hung up the phone, he looked at Wu Shanshan with a furious expression. She glared at Zhou Chengzhi and said, "Tell me, am I prettier, or is Li Jia prettier?"
Zhou Chengzhi knew, of course, that she was jealous. If he didn't say a few sweet words, she probably wouldn't even get to eat lunch. So he quickly said, "Of course you're beautiful! My beloved wife, otherwise why would I marry you and not her!"
"Hmph, don't try to fool me with sweet talk. You just said she's beautiful, smart, and highly educated!"
"Haha! Silly girl, I was just saying a few words to her so she would work for me. If you don't comfort your employees, how can they work for you? I was just making empty promises, don't take it too seriously!"
Wu Shanshan glared at Zhou Chengzhi again and said, "You're the stupid one! Your whole family is stupid, your dad is stupid, your mom is stupid, and you're stupid too!"
"Yes, yes, you're all silly. But what about you? You're my wife, we're family!"
"Hmph! I'm ignoring you. I'm going to go sell tickets outside to avoid getting upset."
Meanwhile, in the hospital room, Zhuang Tunan and Anna hadn't dared to look at each other since Zhuang Tunan successfully confessed his feelings to Anna.
Although everyone knows that Westerners are never secretive about their feelings, and that they dare to express themselves and are good at expressing themselves, Anna seemed particularly reserved at this moment. I don't know why, maybe it's because she has been with Zhuang Tunan for too long, so she has become another Zhuang Tunan.
Just as the two were awkwardly unsure how to start a conversation, Huang Zijuan came over with two meals. As soon as she entered the ward, she said, "Are you starving? I brought you some food!"
As soon as Anna saw Huang Zijuan, she smiled and walked towards her, saying, "Thank you, Zijuan, for bringing us food. Tell me where to buy food later, so I can buy food for Tu Nan myself from now on. I feel bad that you're always running around like this!"
Huang Zijuan smiled and said, "What's the big deal? It's all what I should do. Besides, Dongzhe is taking care of Xiaoting, Uncle is taking care of Aunt, and you are taking care of Brother Tunan. Isn't this all what we should do?"
Anna blushed and said, "Yes, it's only right. Tu Nan just confessed to me, saying he likes me and wants me to be his girlfriend. I, I said yes!"
Huang Zijuan's face lit up with joy, and she said, "Is this true? That's wonderful! The last big problem for the Zhuang family has been solved, and my aunt and uncle can finally rest easy!"
Huang Zijuan placed the food she had bought on the table, divided it into two portions, gave one to Anna, and handed the other to Zhuang Tunan, saying, "Brother Tunan, congratulations! You two are finally united in marriage. I hope you get married soon and have a baby!"
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Tunan blushed and said, "Zijuan, don't listen to Anna. The reason I proposed just now was because Li Jia came, and I was just dealing with her!"
Huang Zijuan, who had just been beaming with joy, suddenly turned grim and said, "Brother Tu Nan, although you are the older brother and two years older than me, I have to criticize you for this. How can you treat love like a game? This is a very sacred thing!"
"I didn't take it lightly; I was very serious. Just now, I had no choice but to use Anna as an excuse to deal with Li Jia because she was trying to bother me. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to face her!"
"You can't use Anna as an excuse. Did you know how hard Anna's life was? She traveled across the ocean to find you, didn't mind your disability, and took care of you day and night. Don't be heartless and bully her just because she's a foreigner!"
"I... I didn't bully her? How could I bully her? We're friends, inseparable friends!"
"Pah! You're just a hypocrite, always putting on airs. Wake up, Tu Nan! Anna is a partner you should protect for a lifetime. You can't treat her like a friend; that would betray her sincere feelings for you!"
At this moment, Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, Zijuan, for speaking up for me. I won't force Tu Nan. Whether he sincerely proposed to me or was just using me to appease someone else, I understand him, I will wait for him, and protect him until we grow old together!"
"Anna, don't be silly. I advise you to go back to your country as soon as possible, forget about this hypocrite, and maybe someone is already waiting for you!"
Anna suddenly frowned and said, "Zijuan, don't you think my relationship with Tu Nan is going well either?"
Zijuan immediately realized that Anna had misunderstood, and quickly said, "Anna, it's not that I don't think your relationship is good, it's just that my brother Tunan is not worth you staying with him like this. He is indecisive and hesitant in relationships. He is clearly a hypocritical and unreliable person."
“Zijuan! You’ve misunderstood Tu Nan. He just can’t let go of Zhang Min for the time being. You don’t know, when we were in America, I slept next to him and often heard him calling Zhang Min’s name in his dreams. That shows how deeply he’s in love.”
"But half a year has passed, one can't live in the past, can one?"
"It's okay, Zijuan, I'll wait, wait for him to accept me!"
"Sigh, Anna, I never thought there were people overseas who would do something foolish for love!"
