Chapter 728: My Daughter is the Heroine Who Runs Away with the Baby (17)
Zhou Shichu looked at Fan Guangting's sanctimonious face and said sarcastically, "No need. I am very satisfied with my current life. I have nothing to ask for and I am not short of money, so I don't need Boss Fan's help. It's impossible to give up, get out of my yard, I will never sell my flowers to you no matter who I sell them to."
Fan Guangting's face looked very ugly at this time. He was born into a noble family and held a high position of power. No one had ever dared to speak to him like this since he was a child. But now, a woman who grew flowers in the village said this to him, and he really had no choice.
Want to use shady means to deal with her? There is a temporary research institute next to it. Some of the people in it are not ordinary people. They have such a good relationship with Zhou Shichu, so how could they watch him bully her?
Although the Fan family is considered a prominent family in Beijing, there are more than just the Fan family in Beijing. There are some people whom even he cannot afford to offend.
Fan Guangting looked at Zhou Shichu's mocking yet fearless face, pursed his thin lips tightly, and said after a while: "I am sorry to bother Miss Zhou. I will leave now and come to visit again tomorrow. Goodbye."
After saying that, he did not stay any longer. He happily took his people and left Zhou Shichu's yard.
He is a smart man. He knows that he can't get any good thing from Zhou Shichu today, so he plans to come again tomorrow. Maybe Zhou Shichu will be in a better mood tomorrow and will be more talkative?
Zhou Shichu thought he would continue to pester her, but she didn't expect him to be so straightforward, which surprised her. However, she quickly put him out of her mind. As she said before, the Fan Group is very powerful, but Zhou Shichu has no desires, and even if she does, she can satisfy them. Therefore, Fan Guangting can't use his family background to force her to submit. Of course, Fan Guangting is not as stupid as Chen Dawei. He can see that Zhou Shichu will not fall for it, so he is very tactful when talking to Zhou Shichu with a good attitude. He can even tolerate Zhou Shichu's impolite words.
Being able to bend and stretch, it turns out that anyone who can become the president of Fan Group cannot be an ordinary person.
Zhou Shichu took another look at the remaining pot of ghost orchid he had. Seeing that it was still full of vitality, with its ghostly flowers blooming unrestrainedly, he felt very satisfied.
There were other people who came to her these days, wanting to buy her only remaining ghost orchid, but she refused. She had worked so hard to get this one plant, and she couldn't even keep it for herself to enjoy, so how could she bear to sell it to someone else?
Fan Guangting returned to the hotel in the city and discussed with Chen Kang and other assistants how to get Zhou Shichu to agree to sell flowers to him. Zhou Shichu's firm refusal to sell flowers made him realize that this matter was very tricky, but no matter how tricky it was, he had to do it. After all, the project in cooperation with the Wen family company was too important.
The next day, Fan Guangting came to Zhou Shichu's house with several expensive gifts and again asked Zhou Shichu to sell flowers. However, Zhou Shichu was as hard as iron and refused to give in even though Fan Guangting acted pitifully. Fan Guangting returned empty-handed again.
Zhou Shichu anticipated that he would come to see her again, and she became very upset. She simply asked the staff from the nearby research institute to help her take care of the plants at home for a few days, and she herself went to the neighboring city to play, planning to come back when Fan Guangting gave up and stopped bothering her.
So when Fan Guangting came to the house again, he was told that Zhou Shichu had gone out and was not at home at all. How could Fan Guangting not know that Zhou Shichu went out to avoid him? When he realized this, his face turned as black as coal. How could he not know that he was so annoying?
Zhou Shichu really went to the neighboring city for a trip and was almost reluctant to leave. She was much happier than her adopted daughter who was exhausted both physically and mentally from taking care of the children.
Jiang Zhuyin finally made it through the confinement period. She felt so tired that she looked like she had peeled off a layer of skin. Her eyes were dull and her face was sallow. She was a bright and lovely girl before giving birth, but after giving birth, she looked more than ten years older and became a tired, yellow-faced woman.
The money she had saved in the past few months had been almost used up. If she didn't go any further, she would have no money even for food, so she wanted to go back to work after the confinement period.
However, if she wants to go to work, she will face a huge difficulty: who will take care of the children after she goes to work?
The baby was only one month old and there was no one at home to help take care of him. She couldn't afford a babysitter, and even the cheap daycare centers outside wouldn't accept such a young child. Jiang Zhuyin was so anxious that she got several blisters on the corners of her mouth, but she couldn't think of any solution.
It's not that she didn't think about her mother, but Zhou Shichu's previous cold and ruthless behavior made her quickly give up this idea, because she had realized that Zhou Shichu would not help her, and would only let her contact the child's biological father when she really couldn't live anymore.
Jiang Zhuyin bit her lip and stared at Ouyang Muye's number on her phone in embarrassment. This number was not given to her by Ouyang Muye, but when she wanted to leave after that chaotic night, she saw the business card that fell out of Ouyang Muye's suit jacket pocket that was thrown on the ground, and she somehow saved the number on the business card on her phone.
Did she subconsciously predict that she would definitely look for Ouyang Muye in the future? Jiang Zhuyin's heart trembled when she thought of this idea. She was very confused and didn't know whether she should make this call. Once she made the call, it would be useless for her to regret it.
Just as she was struggling with her dilemma, the child lying next to her woke up, humming and dancing. Seeing this, Jiang Zhuyin habitually held him in her arms and coaxed him in a low voice: "Baby, are you awake? You didn't cry this time. You're so good."
After all, after being a mother for a month, she has become very familiar with coaxing the child, and it is obvious that she has practiced it.
"Baby, do you think mom should contact your dad?" Jiang Zhuyin said softly to her son in her arms, as if he could understand her words, and couldn't help but ask for her son's opinion.
Of course, it was impossible for a one-month-old baby to understand what she said, so the child just spoke meaningless phonetic symbols to his mother, and no one could understand each other.
Jiang Zhuyin named her son Jiang Mu, which combines her last name and Ouyang Muye's given name. She thought it was very romantic and meaningful.
Although Jiang Mu was relatively healthy, he was very thin and small, without a single piece of flesh on his body. Sometimes when Jiang Zhuyin was bathing him, she was horrified by his skinny body and could not bear to look at him closely, fearing that he would die accidentally. Fortunately, he was just thin but had never been sick, which saved Jiang Zhuyin a lot of worry.
In her previous life, Jiang Zhuyin had Zhou Shichu, a hardworking mother, who helped her take care of the child. Jiang Zhuyin spent her confinement period leisurely and comfortable, as if she had a vacation. After the confinement period, her complexion was in great shape. Because the original owner had taken good care of her, she became more feminine and attractive after giving birth.
