From winning six games in a row to losing nine games in a row, Xie Jing couldn't help but question her life. She stared at Zhou Jiyun suspiciously: "Are you sure you haven't played this before?"
Zhou Jiyun played with the chess pieces, a smile on his face that could not be stopped: "Jingjing, I admit defeat. Now you owe me three requests."
Xie Jing is a principled person: "Okay, it's just three requests, right? I'll agree to them."
"Don't worry," Zhou Jiyun touched her head: "You can do it, I won't make it difficult for you."
Xie Jing: Why does this sentence seem familiar?
Zhou Jiyun was in no rush to fulfill his promise. Instead, he threw the chess piece onto the board and said, "Are you tired of sitting here? Let's go to the greenhouse. The greenhouse in the old house is nice. It's very comfortable to drink coffee and bask in the sun."
Xie Jing pulled Zhou Jiyun and said, "Zhou Jiwen and Shen Yaozhi have already gone there. What are we going there for? We can't run into each other. She is the only daughter of the Shen family. It won't be easy for your uncle and aunt to marry her off as a daughter-in-law."
"If your second uncle hadn't become the head of the Zhou family, this marriage wouldn't have happened."
Although Xie Jing was not favored and rarely socialized, she knew everything she needed to know. This was common sense that a daughter of a wealthy family must know.
Zhou Jiyun: "I know that the Shen family was able to let Shen Yaozhi come here. I guess they must have reached some agreement with Zhou Zhida behind the scenes. If they become in-laws, the Shen family will naturally stand on Zhou Zhida's side."
"Then Zhou Zhida might still have some chance of winning. The final result will depend on Grandpa's opinion."
Zhou Jiyun glanced in the direction of the greenhouse as he spoke, hiding the darkness in his eyes. Starting over again, not only did the fate of him and Xie Jing change, but it also changed Zhou Zhida and the Shen family.
In his memory, Zhou Jiwen only started to interact with the Shen family after two or three years. But now it seems that his memory is not accurate. Or is it that Zhou Zhida and the Shen family have been in contact for a long time?
I've never heard of it before.
"As soon as I see your expression, I know you're hiding something." Xie Jing poked Zhou Jiyun's arm and said, "Why don't you stay with Grandpa after lunch break? I'm feeling pretty inspired today, and I want to strike while the iron is hot and finish writing the lyrics."
"No problem, I'll accompany grandpa for a walk in the old house in the afternoon." Zhou Jiyun agreed immediately. He must pay more attention to the relationship between the Shen family and Zhou Zhida.
And there's no telling when those people he sent out to look for clues will be able to bring back new clues.
Maybe it was because Zhou Jiyun had confronted her in person when she had been looking for trouble before, so Chen Yaozhi didn't dare to be rude to Xie Jing during lunch. Fang Qin didn't care about Xie Jing at the moment, and spent most of the time taking care of Chen Yaozhi during the meal.
Xie Jing felt as if she were seeing Liu Limin in this way. They were both typical wealthy ladies, adept at dealing with people, and this was exactly what Fang Qin and Liu Limin were like.
The party seemed to be divided into two groups. One group consisted of Xie Jing, Zhou Jiyun and the old man, and the other group consisted of Zhou Zhida's family and Shen Yaozhi.
Seeing Zhou Jiwen taking care of Chen Yaozhi, he was so considerate and thoughtful. Xie Jing looked at Zhou Jiyun and suddenly gave him a piece of his favorite ribs: "Eat more, you've been tired on the business trip these days."
Zhou Jiyun's mood was agitated, and Xie Jing picked up a few more dishes for him with chopsticks, as if she was taking care of a child.
Zhou Jiyun's touching feeling turned into a dilemma: "That's enough. You can help me after you finish eating."
He understood that Xie Jing was worried that he might be upset by seeing Zhou Zhida and his family so happy, but he was already an adult and had long since been able to process his emotions. But he had to admit, being worried about him like that was really touching.
"It's the best time to eat crabs. I'll ask someone to send some crabs over in the afternoon so we can have fun together in the evening." Zhou Jiyun made this suggestion when he thought that Xie Jing liked to eat crabs.
Xie Jing was very moved but refused: "It's troublesome."
Zhou Jiyun still didn't understand her thoughts: "Don't worry, I will peel the crab meat when the time comes, you don't have to do it."
Xie Jing was happy: "If that's the case, I have no objection."
The old man couldn't help but laugh: "Jiyun is like this, he really knows how to care for others. Great, that's great, let the housekeeper order crabs this afternoon. It's the perfect time to eat crabs now, otherwise they won't be plump anymore."
Zhou Zhida also smiled and said, "Indeed, we are in for a treat tonight. Xiao Shen, why don't you stay and have a quick meal with us? Let Jiwen take you home tonight. I will personally explain to your father."
Chen Yaozhi smiled very sweetly: "Okay, then I won't be polite. I'll trouble my uncle, aunt and brother Wen to take care of me."
Fang Qin lovingly poured Chen Yaozhi a glass of juice: "How can this be considered troublesome? I love such an outstanding girl like you so much. I'll take you out shopping this afternoon and give you whatever you like."
The main purpose of Chen Yao is to accept everyone who comes to her. If Fang Qin is willing to spend money on her, she can spend it. If it doesn't work out in the future, she will return it.
Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun just buried their heads in their meals, and they absolutely did not get involved in Zhou Zhida's family affairs. Just watching Zhou Zhida and his family enjoying their family life while Zhou Jiyun was all alone, Xie Jing felt that Zhou Jiyun was really miserable.
But on second thought, she seemed to be even worse off than Zhou Jiyun? Sure enough, the two of them were just pitiful little guys huddled together for warmth.
After lunch, everyone naturally went back to their rooms to rest. Fang Qin took Chen Yaozhi and Zhou Jiwen out shopping, and the others went back to their rooms for a nap. As for Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun, Xie Jing looked at Zhou Jiyun with a vigilant look.
"Why are you taking off your clothes?" Xie Jing stood at the bedroom door, her face tense as she watched Zhou Jiyun start taking off his clothes as soon as he entered the room. He'd already taken off his shirt, so if she didn't stop him, was he going to have sex?
But I didn't expect Zhou Jiyun to look thin, but his body was full of muscles, covered with a thin layer, which didn't look exaggerated at all. It looked much better than those trained in the gym...
Realizing her own wandering thoughts, Xie Jing quickly pulled herself back to her senses: "It's just lunch break, why are you stripping like this?"
Zhou Jiyun looked at the shirt and trousers he was wearing, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. Suddenly, he felt like teasing Xie Jing: "How can you take a lunch break without taking off your clothes?"
"I don't like sleeping with my clothes on."
Xie Jing looked like she was not going to be fooled: "You weren't like this before. Weren't you dressed neatly before going to bed? Even your pajamas were on."
Zhou Jiyun scratched his hair: "Didn't I give you some time to adapt? I usually prefer..."
He whispered two words in Xie Jing's ear, and watched Xie Jing's ears turn red with satisfaction. He then kissed her red earlobe. When Xie Jing was about to protest, Zhou Jiyun picked her up and said, "Don't you want to take a nap? I'll sleep with you for a while. Grandpa will talk to me later."
