Shen Zhuyu blushed completely! She shouldn't have taken in this wicked little boy!
"You went through my magazines without permission?"
"I saw it while cleaning, but I'd already finished reading it and put it back! To be honest, there are a few magazines I can't even buy anymore. Where did you buy them? You're so amazing!"
Shen Zhuyu was a little embarrassed at first, but she was a female hooligan after all, so she snorted and said, "I used to sell erotic magazines!"
Li Zhou almost spat out his water, looking completely bewildered, thinking she was joking.
"Why would I lie to you? I used to be a magazine seller, but I was lucky to meet Chu Yu. She was very good to me, helped me make money, and guided me in doing business, which is why I am where I am today. If it weren't for Chu Yu, I might have been arrested long ago!" Shen Zhuyu smiled and put the few magazines she treasured into the cabinet.
Li Zhou's eyes showed a strange pang of heartache. "You don't have a home? Where are your family? They made you come out to sell magazines so early, what are they doing?"
"Young Master, do you think everyone is as lucky as you, that everyone has a family to take care of them? My family didn't want me; they abandoned me when I was little. I only grew up because my grandfather collected garbage!"
She spoke lightly, but Li Zhou could hear the bitterness in her voice.
"You must have had a very hard childhood, right?"
"Otherwise what? I can't be a princess living in a garbage dump, can I? Or maybe Mi Fei's mother wouldn't like me? My family is indeed poor, and my parents are both wicked. They are vicious and greedy. If I were Mi Fei's family, I wouldn't like a daughter-in-law like that either."
Li Zhou frowned. "Can you stop being so discouraged? If she doesn't like you, there are plenty of other people who do! Look at you... even though you're getting on in years, almost seventy or eighty, and your looks are so-so, your figure is just so-so, and you're not very tall, you still have your own strengths! You shouldn't give up on yourself!"
Chen Zhuyu rolled up the magazine and tapped Li Zhou!
"Thank you so much, young master!"
Li Zhou curled his lips into a smile, then suddenly leaned close to her ear and said, "Actually, I was lying to you."
"What?" Shen Zhuyu's bangs swayed slightly.
"Actually, you have a great figure. I was washing your underwear today, and I didn't expect you to fit into this size. Your figure is much better than that of magazine models!"
Shen Zhuyu's face flushed red. She used the magazine as a weapon and attacked Li Zhou frantically. Li Zhou ran and dodged, but suddenly he stopped and pushed Shen Zhuyu against the wall. Shen Zhuyu was stunned for a moment, her eyes darting away. She quickly said, "What are you doing!"
Li Zhou smiled and said, "I thought you were so bold, but it turns out you were just pretending."
"You're the coward!"
"What a cowardly female hooligan," Li Zhou muttered before going to sleep on the sofa.
Shen Zhuyu touched her face, thinking to herself, "This kid is something else! He looks so young, but who knew he would be so intimidating? My heart was pounding just now, and I was almost intimidated by him!"
Young people these days are really something else!
After taking a shower that evening, Shen Zhuyu secretly washed her clothes. Li Zhou heard the sound of water, stood outside the door, and smirked, "What's wrong? Afraid I'd have to wash your underwear again, so you washed them yourself?"
Shen Zhuyu was furious: "Li Zhou, if you say another word, get out!"
"Fine, fine, I'll shut up, okay?"
He spoke obediently, but with a smile on his face, it was clearly not the case. Shen Zhuyu felt that this kid was getting more and more outrageous. He was just a tenant she had taken in, and it was wrong for him to be so assertive. They would have to separate sooner or later.
The next morning, when Shen Zhuyu got up, Li Zhou was washing clothes. He didn't look well. Shen Zhuyu glanced at the foot basin and saw that he seemed to be washing his pants.
A grown man washing his pants in the morning?
Shen Zhuyu, that old scoundrel, had impure thoughts and instantly lost his innocence. No wonder this kid is still young. If he were Shen Zhuyu's age, he probably wouldn't be washing his pants in the morning, right? This kid is really young.
Mandarin is preparing for its IPO. While it typically takes about three years for a company to go public, Mandarin is doing so faster than other companies, but it still has a lot to do.
Chu Yu held a meeting with Shu Lan and Shen Zhuyu, and then another meeting with the project team.
Afterwards, Chu Yu said, "Shall we have a meal together?"
Chen Zhuyu and Shulan nodded.
"By the way, Zhuyu, what happened to that guy who got in your car last time?" Chu Yu asked.
Shen Zhuyu was taken aback, sighed, and told them about the recent events. Only then did Chu Yu realize that the boy had been living at Shen Zhuyu's house.
Although Shen Zhuyu is single, it's normal for her to have a one-night stand with anyone, and casual encounters aren't anything to be afraid of. But Shen Zhuyu is quite wealthy after all, and bringing a man home might attract unwanted attention.
"Don't worry, he's richer than me, and he's incredibly particular about his clothes."
Chu Yu frowned. "What does his family do? Did he break up with his girlfriend?"
"I broke up with my girlfriend, and I'm quite heartbroken. I don't know what my family does, but it's definitely not bad. Anyway, he cooks and cleans for me every day, and he even pays five thousand US dollars in rent. I'm not losing out at all." Shen Zhuyu shrugged.
Chu Yu was taken aback. "Five thousand US dollars? This kid is pretty rich."
"That's right. He's never even worn his clothes before. He's always messing around with his clothes and hair. He can't even wash dishes or cook. He learned all that from me. But he's not a bad guy, and he's good-looking. He does my laundry and cooks for me, so I'm not losing out. I just gave him a sofa to stay on."
Chu Yu and Shu Lan exchanged a glance, both seeing a gossipy expression on each other's faces.
"I suddenly feel like having dinner at Shen Zhuyu's house tonight," Chu Yu said with a smile.
Shulan nodded vigorously, "Let's go try the handsome young man's cooking, and see if he's handsome too. A man that even we Zhuyu thinks is handsome must be really handsome!"
Shen Zhuyu blushed a little, but she also wanted to show off her male nanny, so she called Li Zhou and took Chu Yu and Shu Lan home.
When Chu Yu returned home, Li Zhou came to open the door. He was wearing a white shirt and light-colored jeans, looking clean and handsome.
Chu Yu smiled, and Li Zhou obediently called out, "Sister!"
"Wow, he really is handsome!" Chu Yu teased.
Shen Zhuyu blushed. "Of course I dumped him. Do you think just anyone can be my chef? If he weren't handsome, I wouldn't have brought him home, okay?"
Shulan stared at Li Zhou and thought he was really quite handsome. He was clean-cut and good-looking, like a male celebrity from an island country, a male model on a magazine cover, or the male lead in a campus movie.
She has the kind of face that makes people want to fall in love when she stands in the light and shadow.
Shulan and Chuyu exchanged a glance and suddenly realized what was going on.
Chu Yu smiled and said, "I think Zhu Yu seems to have become more beautiful recently."
Shulan chimed in, "So it's because Li Zhou's cooking is so nutritious!"
The two of them took turns saying something, like they were performing a comedy routine. Shen Zhuyu blushed from the teasing and quickly invited them into the house, asking Li Zhou to serve the dishes and greet the two older women.
Chu Yu and Shu Lan are both very beautiful, especially Chu Yu, who is almost unrealistically beautiful. Li Zhou has never seen such a beautiful older sister before; she seems to have stepped out of a comic book.
Li Zhou served them rice and listened to their conversation, only then realizing that they were business partners.
