When he said that, Xie Jing felt that what Zhou Jiyun said seemed to make sense. But thinking about it, Xie Jing also had her own reasons: "No, Mom told me that the 29th is the day after tomorrow, and it's too late to hold a family reunion banquet before the New Year. Grandpa and grandma also said to hold it on the fifth day after the New Year."
"Why would I have so many relatives to meet? I'll just eat, drink and have fun when I get home."
Zhou Jiyun didn't feel any regret at not being able to trick Xie Jing into it. In fact, he quite enjoyed bickering with Xie Jing. In the past, when Xie Jing was still naive, she would definitely fall into the trap.
But now that Xie Jing has gained more experience, it is becoming increasingly difficult to deceive her.
Xie Jing finally lost her temper: "It can only be once, it really can't be too late."
Zhou Jiyun was very easy to talk to, "Okay."
Just once, at most he could extend the timeline a bit. Besides, this wasn't really taking advantage of a loophole; he strictly followed Xie Jing's words.
The next day, Xie Jing didn't wake up until nine o'clock. Yun Xu looked at the time and said worriedly, "Should we leave now? The old house is still more than half an hour's drive away."
Zhou Jiyun put down his phone and said, "Don't worry, just arrive before 11 o'clock. Let Jingjing sleep a little longer."
Yun Xu's face was stern. He didn't want to know why Xie Jing was still up so late, nor did he want to know why Zhou Jiyun was in such a good mood. He sighed and said, "I'm going to sleep across the street tonight."
Zhou Jiyun pretended not to hear what he said. He was sure that his house was soundproofed enough that no one else would hear anything. But Yunxu wanted to go to the house across the street to rest, and Zhou Jiyun agreed with both hands, so that he and Xie Jing could have more privacy.
Around ten o'clock, Zhou Jiyun entered the bedroom. Xie Jing was sleeping soundly with the quilt rolled up under her. Her cheeks were flushed and there were some dark circles under her eyes, obviously she didn't get enough rest at night.
Zhou Jiyun half-carried and half-held Xie Jing out of the quilt. Xie Jing lay on Zhou Jiyun's shoulder like a big cat: "What time is it?"
"It's ten o'clock. Let's wash up and go to the old house." Zhou Jiyun said gently, and wrung out the hot towel and put it on Xie Jing's face.
Xie Jing tilted her head back, and the hot towel fell to the bed with a plop. Her peach blossom eyes widened: "Ten o'clock? Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"
Zhou Jiyun smiled and said, "It's okay to go early. You worked hard last night. You should get more sleep."
Everything was fine before he mentioned last night, but as soon as he mentioned last night, Xie Jing's expression changed.
"You also said that if you hadn't made such a fuss so late..." Xie Jing couldn't say the rest, but those who understood her meaning would understand.
Zhou Jiyun was so thick-skinned that he naturally didn't take this little accusation to heart: "There's nothing I can do. When the feelings are strong, I can't control myself."
Xie Jing gave up. Zhou Jiyun always had a reason to talk about these things. On the contrary, she was the one who felt embarrassed.
By the time they were all packed up and ready to go, it was already 10:20. Zhu Li didn't come with them this time, so it wouldn't be appropriate for her to go with them to the Zhou family's old house.
Besides, she also has a job and she will go to the capital with everyone tomorrow. During the Spring Festival, her father, her uncle and her grandfather will help cover for her. Zhu Li wants to see more patients before the New Year.
In the Zhou family's old house, Mr. Zhou got up early in the morning, and Butler Zhong directed the staff to clean the old house thoroughly. It was the first time Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing had returned since Zhou Zhida was imprisoned.
Thinking of this, Butler Zhong couldn't help but sigh. A good family, now it's no longer a family. It's just pitiful. The old man is old and the young are small. The young man can't support the family business at the moment, and the old man is now sick. Alas.
Just as Butler Zhong was sighing, several cars drove into the old house one after another. The bodyguards were in the lead, followed by Zhou Jiyun, Xie Jing, Yun Zhao and Yun Xu.
The old man leaned on his crutches and looked at the seven or eight bodyguards who followed Zhou Jiyun in. He couldn't help but frowned and asked, "You have to bring so many people home?"
Zhou Jiyun explained: "Although the two Lius of the Liu family have been imprisoned, the Liu family still has an old lady. Even if a centipede dies, it will not die in the stiffness of its limbs. We also need to remain unchanged in the face of all changes."
Zhou Jiyun didn't say anything about the rest. Who knows what Fang Qin will do? After all, Zhou Zhida and Zhou Jiwen are both in jail. This woman has relied on Zhou Zhida and Zhou Jiwen all her life. Now that her hopes are shattered, I really don't know what she will do if she goes completely crazy.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jiyun glanced at Zhou Jida. Zhou Jiwen's child was lost because of Zhou Jida. Even if Fang Qin wanted to take revenge, she shouldn't focus on him alone. She couldn't let this kid hide behind everything.
After hearing this explanation, Mr. Zhou said nothing, but just responded: "The last time you went to the capital, you were in a hurry. This time you go, you must perform well."
"Unfortunately, I haven't been feeling well lately. When I recover a little, I'll go to the capital. I have to meet my in-laws. Your parents are gone, so I have to hold up the scene for you."
Zhou Jiyun felt bitter and bitter, which was the reason for his conflicting feelings towards the old man. On the one hand, he was good to you, but on the other hand...
"It's too rushed before the New Year. Your health is more important." Yun Zhao said softly, "My grandparents mean that as long as Jingjing and Jiyun have a good relationship, we don't need to worry about these things."
"It still has to be done with care," said Mr. Zhou seriously. "Jingjing and Jiyun's wedding was hastily planned, so we'll have to do it again in the future."
Zhou Jiyun nodded: "I know, we will prepare it carefully."
After saying a few words, Mr. Zhou lost some energy. Butler Zhong handed him a cup of ginseng tea and winked at Zhou Jiyun. While the old man was drinking tea, Zhou Jiyun followed Butler Zhong into the yard.
"I think grandpa is not in good spirits," Zhou Jiyun said softly. In his memory, the old man was in good health before the accident, but now he looks sick.
Butler Zhong: "It's probably a heartache. He used to hold on with all his might. Now that that force has worn off, it's understandable that he's sick. But he's in good health. All the tests show nothing unusual except some age spots."
"When he figures it out in the future, he will slowly recover."
Zhou Jiyun nodded slightly. "That's good. I'll stay in S City for the next two years. When Jingjing graduates, I'll go to the capital with her. Jingjing is the daughter of the Yun family. Her parents haven't seen Jingjing grow up in all these years. It's hard to separate them now that they've finally met."
Butler Zhong patted Zhou Jiyun on the shoulder and said, "Just make your own plans. Your grandfather is partial to the second wife after all. Now that Jingjing has accepted you, I'm happy for you. You'll have someone to protect you from now on."
Zhou Jiyun's nose was sore after hearing what Butler Zhong said: "It's Grandpa. I'll trouble you to take care of him in the future."
Butler Zhong laughed heartily: "As you should. City S is your sad place. You don't want to stay here any longer. I can't blame you. Sigh, tell me, how did things turn out like this after such a good life?"
