Xie Jing said seriously: "Well, he is my husband, of course I have to protect him, Brother Xu, please don't bully him."
Yun Xu glanced at Zhou Jiyun, who was laughing so hard that it was almost unbearable to watch. Yun Xu felt tired: "It's good enough that your husband doesn't bully others, how can I bully him?"
Xie Jing glanced at Zhou Jiyun with a smile: "No, I can't stand hearing this."
What could Yun Xu do? He could only bite a large crab leg with tears in his eyes.
Although today was the company's annual meeting, it was still a normal working day and the annual meeting would not start until after work in the evening. Therefore, Zhou Jiyun went to the company early in the morning, and Xie Jing only needed to meet Zhou Jiyun at the company before work in the afternoon.
Zhou Jida studied under Zhou Jiyun in the company, but Zhou Jiyun didn't teach him anything specifically. Zhou Jida knew all the business stuff, but he had never been taught by anyone before, so he had to figure it out on his own.
Now following Zhou Jiyun, Zhou Jida realized that what Zhou Zhida said before was just a rumor.
Zhou Jida and Zhou Jiyun naturally had lunch together. In the office, they sat opposite each other. Although Zhou Jida was short-handed and clumsy, he was impeccable in etiquette and looked very dignified.
Zhou Jiyun took a bite of his meal, glanced at him, and suddenly whispered, "If you had spoken to me properly back then, things wouldn't have turned out like this. Jingjing has always been soft-hearted, and now..."
He didn't say the rest, but Zhou Jida already understood. He lowered his eyelids and said, "Sister-in-law has always been soft-hearted towards you. It's hard to find someone like her."
"You have no idea how much I envy you. Even when we had such intense conflicts before, she never vented her anger on me. Now that I think about it, I really feel sorry for you guys."
"I'm sorry, it's already like this." Zhou Jiyun put down his chopsticks, he really couldn't eat. "I will live in S City for more than a year. After Jingjing graduates with a master's degree, we will go to the capital."
"The Zhou family will all be yours from now on."
Zhou Jida pursed his lips slightly: "Are you really going to give the Zhou family to me?"
Zhou Jiyun didn't care: "The second wife already has a share in the company. Now Zhou Zhida is about to die, and Zhou Jiwen will be in prison for a long time. I'll let you take care of the second wife's share."
He would not deliberately bully Zhou Jida just because he is still young. Zhou Jiyun was still very fair in the matter of dividing the family.
Zhou Jida was deeply moved: "Brother..."
Zhou Jiyun raised his hand: "Don't get sentimental here, we don't have much feelings for each other. Let's just leave it at that. Let's live our own lives from now on."
Zhou Jida forcibly held back the tears he had been trying to squeeze out: "Brother, you are too...heartless."
Zhou Jiyun didn't care what Zhou Jida said. He just drank his tea slowly: "Ginger tea miscarriage...is it you who did it? Life in the old house has been tough lately, hasn't it?"
Zhou Jida did not deny it either: "I can't hide anything from you, big brother, but I didn't do anything. She fell down by herself, so who can I blame?"
"Grandpa conceded that I did it. He was indeed rude to me before. Now he's asking me to learn from my eldest brother. I guess he's planning on letting my second brother take over the company after he gets out of trouble."
Zhou Jiyun looked up: "You shouldn't want to, right?"
"Of course I don't want to," Zhou Jida admitted immediately. "How could I be willing to be someone else's bride? Besides, Zhou Jida, he really hasn't been kind to me at all. He's the one who brought me the greatest humiliation in my life. How could I possibly watch him live a good life?"
Zhou Jiyun suddenly laughed: "So what are you going to do? At your age now..."
Zhou Jida put down his chopsticks and leaned forward slightly: "So I want to ask big brother for a favor."
Zhou Jiyun is so smart that he knew what the other party was going to say as soon as Zhou Jida hinted at it.
"You want me to take you to see Zhou Jiwen? And then tell him about Jiang Cha's miscarriage? He might not be upset. After all, he and Jiang Cha, to put it bluntly, are just in love. Otherwise, why didn't they get married after Jiang Cha's divorce?"
Zhou Jida nodded: "I know, but that's not all I want to say."
Zhou Jiyun suddenly realized: "You want to tell him that you are no longer the same person as before?"
"Brother really understands me," Zhou Jida wiped his mouth with a tissue. "Brother is a man of integrity and righteousness, and he doesn't bother to kick someone when he's down. But I'm not like that. I'm a very petty person, and besides, we brothers haven't seen each other for a long time."
Zhou Jiyun stared at Zhou Jida for two minutes before saying, "Zhou Zhida will be executed after the New Year. I'll take you to see him after he's executed."
Zhou Jida couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Brother is still the one who can touch people's hearts."
Zhou Jiyun glanced at him and said, "Zhou Jiwen is certainly guilty of heinous crimes, but you must be careful about what you do. If you stare into the abyss, the abyss will also stare back at you. Don't end up getting yourself trapped in it."
Zhou Jida's heart trembled, and he knew that Zhou Jiyun was reminding him kindly. Some things, once done, are hard to stop. But he and Zhou Jiwen had such a humiliating past, and he obviously couldn't bear to watch Zhou Jiwen serve his sentence in prison without any trouble.
In fact, he still couldn't figure it out: "Brother, he hurt you like that, and you're satisfied with just sending him to jail? He will get out one day."
Zhou Jiyun's heartbeat quickened, spurred by the venom in Zhou Jida's words. But he remained calm, "I truly detest him. If the law allowed, I'd kill him."
"But this is a society ruled by law. Murder must be punished with death. I really don't want him to serve his sentence peacefully in prison, but I can't let him ruin my good life. It's not easy for Jingjing and I to get to where we are now."
Starting over again, the most important person in Zhou Jiyun's heart is always Xie Jing. He and Xie Jing finally got rid of all the thorns and were finally able to be together peacefully. How could he ruin his life because of someone like Zhou Jiwen?
Besides, who says that serving time in prison will really keep things peaceful? There's always a way. But there's no need to tell Zhou Jida about this. Isn't that giving him a ready-made handle?
Zhou Jida nodded, but didn't say whether he believed it or not. Although his methods were very decent, few people who really crossed him would have a good ending.
Just seeing how young he was and how he took his company public, you can tell he's quite cunning and resourceful. The reason he ended up in such a miserable situation in his previous life was simply due to the deliberate schemes of Zhou Jiwen and Zhou Zhida.
"Let's not talk about this. You came to the company in the past few days. Did your grandfather ask you anything after he went back?" Zhou Jiyun didn't want to say more about Zhou Jiwen, so he simply found another topic.
