"I noticed," Zhou Jiyun said, still aggrieved: "This is our own home, there are no outsiders here, just the two of us."
Xie Jing glanced at Diandian and Dali lying on the sofa and said, "You can't say this in front of your pets."
Zhou Jiwen begged for mercy: "Okay, I won't say this in front of them."
As romantic as Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun were, the Zhou family's old house was filled with dark clouds. The reason for this was that Fang Qin saw Zhou Jiwen and Jiang Cha coming out of the same room that morning.
Although the two of them had been having an affair for several years, this was still in their own home. Wasn't this too shameless? Fang Qin wanted to curse, but considering her status as a noble lady, she decided to keep her mouth shut.
Jiang Cha felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Fang Qin. Although she and Chen Yan had signed a divorce agreement, they still hadn't obtained a divorce certificate. She was now living in the same room with Zhou Jiwen, which was ultimately not legal.
Fang Qin didn't even look at her: "Go have breakfast,"
She walked ahead as she spoke. If she could, she wanted to kick Jiang Cha out. But she was not the one who made the decisions at home. The old man was in charge. Whether it was the little bastard Zhou Zhida had or Jiang Cha, Fang Qin had to endure it.
Zhou Jiwen also felt a little uncomfortable. There were some things he did that he couldn't allow others to see or talk about, even if it was his own mother, he still felt embarrassed.
"Mom, it's all my fault. Please don't make yourself angry because of me." If he really wanted to coax someone, he would naturally have a way. Fang Qin was soon comforted by him and felt a little better.
But when she entered the restaurant and saw Zhou Jida sitting at the dining table, Fang Qin's face darkened again, and she snorted coldly at Zhou Jida.
Zhou Zhida frowned: "Who are you giving such a bad face to so early in the morning?"
"I'm targeting you." Fang Qin was already fuming. She had been so humiliated last night, and she had to vent her anger today. "If you're not upright at the top, how can you expect the bottom line to go?"
Zhou Zhida's face turned purple and swollen. He was about to lose his temper when the old man spoke up: "It's so early in the morning, and you're making such a fuss. If you have something to say, go back to your room and don't bother in front of me. It gives me a headache."
Fang Qin cried out: "Dad!"
"It's no use calling me again," said Old Master Zhou indifferently. "Your own man and son. The man is fine, but you haven't disciplined your own son well. What can I do?"
Fang Qin wanted to say that if you hadn't always wanted to hand the company over to Zhou Jiyun, her son wouldn't have ended up like this... But no matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't bring herself to say it. To put it bluntly, it's okay to scheme on a daily basis, but it's not okay to say it openly.
Jiang Cha: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."
"It's all because of you," Fang Qin said bluntly, "If it weren't for you, how could I have lost so much face yesterday?"
"That's enough," Old Master Zhou scolded, "Don't say this in front of the children. If you don't want to eat, get out."
Fang Qin sat down at the dining table, feeling frustrated. With the exception of the young Zhou Jida, everyone at the table looked haggard. The old man had only had a bowl of porridge that morning, and only after everyone sat down did he make an announcement.
"Xiaoer has been working at the head office for many years, so it's inevitable that he feels a little constrained. Starting tomorrow, you will go to work at the branch office."
Fang Qin: "Dad!"
Zhou Zhida: "Dad!"
Zhou Jiwen: "Grandpa!"
Three different voices rang out, those of Zhou Zhida and his wife, and Zhou Jiwen. Fang Qin was the most nervous. Her son's marriage was already hopeless. If he lost his career, what would he do in the future?
The old man was very calm: "What do you want to say? He caused such a big disaster. Even if the media hadn't been there yesterday, it would have been exposed."
"The impact on the company is foreseeable. He has caused so much trouble for the company, and Jiyun has no idea how long he will have to work with him. Shouldn't he pay the price?"
"I didn't ask him to resign, which was already very lenient."
Fang Qin was furious: "But if it weren't for Jiyun, this matter would never have been exposed."
She was really shocked at the time, but later she figured it out. Although it seemed that the Chen family was at the forefront, the real person behind the scenes should be Zhou Jiyun.
Apart from him, who else would be so opposed to the marriage between the Second Branch and the Shen Family?
The old man remained noncommittal: "Even if it was really Jiyun who did it, you need to produce evidence."
Fang Qin was speechless. Zhou Zhida forced a smile and said, "Dad, isn't it too harsh to send Xiaoer to the branch office? He has been working at the head office all this time..."
Once you leave the head office, the center of power, it will be almost impossible to return. The old man's move almost completely cut off Zhou Jiwen's possibility of inheriting the Zhou family. Can Zhou Zhida accept this result?
"dad……"
The old man glanced at him and said, "What do you want to say? You are disrespectful as an elder, so it is only natural that you will teach your children bad things. In the final analysis, you are not as good as your eldest brother in teaching children."
When the old man mentioned his elder brother, Zhou Zhida's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at the old man with a cautious look. But the old man didn't even look at him, but only looked at Zhou Jiwen: "Little waiter, do you have any objections?"
Zhou Jiwen's expression remained calm: "Grandpa, I have no objection. I have caused such a big disaster and also implicated my family. It is indeed all my fault."
"It's not hopeless." The old man snorted and said, "Let's eat."
Jiang Cha couldn't help it any longer: "Grandpa, if you want to blame someone for this, blame me. Don't blame Awen. Awen is all because of me..."
Maybe it was because she didn't sleep well last night, or maybe it was because she was already weak, but Jiang Cha's complexion wasn't very good, and she looked like a sick beauty. To be honest, it was really hard for a man to resist such a thing.
The delicate, beautiful and haggard little white flower, Fang Qin looked at her with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.
But how old is Mr. Zhou? How many people has he met? How could he change his mind just because of a few tears from Jiang Cha?
He just said softly: "Miss Jiang, Zhou Jiwen is a descendant of our Zhou family. He made such a mistake because his family did not teach him well. Why should I blame you?"
"This is the Zhou family's family affair, and family affairs should naturally be resolved at home."
The old man didn't blame her at all, but every word he said was like a slap in Jiang Cha's face. Zhou Jiwen was a member of the Zhou family, but what about her?
"You...you don't agree with me and Awen..." Jiang Cha was a little anxious and couldn't help but lose his composure when speaking.
Fang Qin gripped her chopsticks tightly in anger when she heard this. If she hadn't been concerned about the old man, she would have wanted to kick Jiang Cha out right then and there.
Mr. Zhou was particularly indifferent: "I don't care who he wants to marry in the future, but the prerequisite is that you have that certificate between you."
