Mao Xia not only didn't find it strange, but thought he was a genuine person, even going so far as to give Yanlong a lot of money.
Zhou Jian'an simply couldn't understand what she was thinking.
Whether it's Zhou Jian'an, Zhou Fangchun, or Zhou Huilan, the Zhou family members don't take their partners seriously. Ultimately, they only respect their partners when they can help them.
Like Zhou Fangchun in the past, she only took Mao Guangyu seriously because he could make her an official's wife and make her respected by the villagers. After Mao Guangyu was brought down, she immediately abandoned him and focused on making money through fraud, which led to the later mutual aid society.
Zhou Jian'an was the same. Shu Hui gave birth to his children and raised them, and earned money to support his studies, social life, and finding other women. He kept delaying his divorce from Shu Hui. Once he graduated from university and Shu Hui was no longer of any use to him, Zhou Jian'an immediately dumped Shu Hui and went to find Dai Qinxue.
Mao Xia has Zhou family blood in her veins, yet she's so love-struck. She'd give up all her money for a man; she's completely out of her mind!
Zhou Jian'an pondered that since she had Mao Guangyu's blood flowing in her veins, she was ultimately not as ruthless as he and Zhou Fangchun.
Zhou Jian'an still had to put on an act. He immediately adopted the authority of an uncle, frowning as he stared at Mao Xia: "Xiaxia, are you crazy? Xiang Yanlong is the eldest son of the Xiang family, with a net worth of tens of billions. Would someone like that be short of money? Would he need your help?"
“Uncle, you don’t understand Brother Long. He’s the kind of man who will grit his teeth and persevere when he encounters difficulties. Lately, he’s been going out to socialize and drink every day, and he comes back vomiting all over the place. I feel sorry for him and I really can’t stand seeing him like this.”
"Then you don't need to give him money!"
"Xiang Yanlong's father told him he wouldn't be allowed to go home until he secured a 100 million yuan order! Brother Long has worked so hard, but he's only secured a little over 60 million, leaving a shortfall of over 30 million! I don't want to put Brother Long in a difficult position. If I give him the money to help, he'll definitely remember my kindness, and the Xiang family will think I'm different from other women. Then, I'll be the Xiang family's future young mistress!"
Mao Xia smiled, looking like the only one who was sober in a world of drunks, thinking that Zhou Jian'an didn't understand love, Zhou Chufei didn't understand love, and no one in the world understood love.
They had never met a man as good as Xiang Yanlong, so naturally they couldn't understand the deep affection between her and Xiang Yanlong.
They didn't understand Xiang Yanlong's love for them.
Zhou Jian'an took a deep breath. "Xiaxia, you're right. Everyone knows which to choose between 30 million and tens of billions. But this money was given to you by your mother, and you even kept it from your uncle. Now you're giving it to an outsider..."
“Brother Long is no outsider! Brother Long is closer than family. Uncle, you don’t need to worry about this. Anyway, our electric fan factory is quite profitable. I have shares in the factory, and we can’t spend all the money we earn every year. There’s no use for me keeping this money. I might as well use it to help Brother Long!”
Mao Xia had been brainwashed by Xiang Yanlong's ring; her mind was filled with Xiang Yanlong's affectionate eyes and sweet words.
Mao Xia hugged the card and said, "Uncle, I've made up my mind. You don't need to try to persuade me anymore! Once I become the young mistress of the Xiang family, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits."
"Xiaxia, think about it again."
This time, Zhou Jian'an was met with a tightly closed door. Mao Xia, clutching the card, rushed out impatiently.
Mao Xia was walking too fast, so she didn't see Zhou Jian'an's upturned lips and smiling eyes.
Zhou Jian'an shook his head while laughing. He opened a soda can, picked up the loose pull tab, and put it on his hand.
He saw this in the newspaper a few days ago. It said that proposing with a pull tab instead of a diamond ring was creative and sincere, and the girl was very touched after being proposed to. Zhou Jian'an wanted to get something for nothing, so he was too lazy to even buy a fake diamond ring and asked Xiang Yanlong to use a pull tab from an aluminum can instead.
Xiang Yanlong did as she was told. Who would have thought that Mao Xia, with her love-struck mind, would be so moved that she would hand over more than 30 million yuan in savings for a pull tab that was not even worth two yuan? What is her brain made of?
Zhou Jian'an couldn't understand why, despite building factories and running sales, he still couldn't gain Mao Xia's trust.
Xiang Yanlong, this fake boyfriend, completely fooled her with his so-called love. How many times does a woman have to fall in love before she learns to be naive?
Zhou Fangchun's fall to Mao Guangyu was truly ruthless.
Mao Guangyu not only had affairs with women, but also fathered a child with a boy. Mao Xia, having been exposed to this, should have known that she couldn't trust men, but she still sank deeper and deeper into the whirlpool of love.
