Chapter 154 I Promise Not to Touch You
Zhou Shuang sat next to Zhou Yanli very reluctantly. As the car started, Zhou Yanli's legs touched Lin Shu's knee next to him intentionally or unintentionally.
Lin Shu moved to the side without leaving a trace, and not long after, Zhou Yanli came over again.
She was furious. Zhou Yanli acted as if nothing had happened, sitting upright. He would occasionally talk to Zhou Shuang, but had no communication with Lin Shu the entire time.
Zhou Shuang finally got to see Lin Shu, and originally wanted to sit between the two of them so that she could lean against her mommy and talk to her for a while.
Now Zhou Yanli was carrying her aside like a chicken. On the way to the old house, Zhou Shuang would stick her little head out every time to try to look at Lin Shu. Lin Shu looked straight ahead and didn't see Zhou Shuang's desire at all.
Zhou Shuang tried several times but failed. She protested to Zhou Yanli, but Zhou Yanli pretended not to hear her.
The car drove to the Zhou family's old house and stopped. Zhou Shuang jumped out of the car, a little angry.
Lin Shu also got out of the car, and Zhou Shuang immediately ran over and held her hand, refusing to let go.
"Mommy..."
She's her mommy, why would daddy fight with her for her?
Lin Shu squeezed Zhou Shuang's hand. Zhou Shuang looked up and said, "Mommy, your racing car model is for Uncle He, not for Brother Xiaoyu, right?"
Xiaoyu has become a thorn in Zhou Shuang's heart, as if he can snatch Lin Shu away from Zhou Shuang at any time.
Lin Shu didn't understand what his daughter meant for a moment.
"What?"
Zhou Yanli happened to be standing nearby, pretending to be nonchalant while listening very attentively to the conversation between the mother and daughter.
Before Zhou Shuang could ask again, the servant of the old house came out.
It had been several months since the young master and the young mistress came back together, so the servants hurried to inform the old man.
"Master, Master, Madam, and Miss are here..."
The old man just happened to be walking out of the inner hall. When he saw Lin Shu, there was a hint of comfort and relief in his eyes, but his expression remained stern.
"You two, if I don't ask you to come back and see an old man like me, don't you think you can do that? Are you planning to wait until I die before you come and see me off?"
Lin Shu remained silent. The old man looked at Lin Shu and she said softly, "Grandpa..."
The old man snorted and stared at her for a long time before sighing, "It's good that you're back. Husband and wife always quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. Don't take it too seriously."
Lin Shu didn't say anything. She and Zhou Yanli were not the kind of people who would quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed.
When it was time for dinner, the old man asked the servants to serve the food. Zhou Shuang was afraid that her father would take the seat with Lin Shu, so she stuck to Lin Shu like a dog-skin plaster, climbed onto her legs and refused to get down.
"Mommy, I want to eat crabs too. Can you help me peel the crab shells?"
After a while, the crabs were finished and started clamoring for other dishes. If they were hot, they wanted to blow on them, and if they were cold, they wanted to be taken away and heated up.
Lin Shu didn't touch his chopsticks during the meal and was busy serving Zhou Shuang the whole time.
The old man was talking to his grandson while eating, and Lin Shu didn't care what they said at all.
Jiang Mingling sat at the table, far away from Lin Shu and his mother.
Zhou Shuang never regarded Jiang Mingling as her grandmother, but was very close to the old man.
She would answer the old man's questions seriously. When she came, she would call him great grandfather, which made the old man very happy.
When Lin Shu saw the old man again this time, he was no longer as talkative as before. She became silent and indifferent to everything going on in the Zhou family.
After dinner, the old man called the young couple to his study.
"What are your plans for the future? Zhou Shuang can't be the only one."
The old man forcing them to have a second child is a must every time they come here to eat.
Lin Shu didn't dislike it before, and was even a little happy, which showed that the old man really hoped that she, his granddaughter-in-law, would have children for the Zhou family.
Now she doesn't care.
All the old man wants is the descendants of the Zhou family. As for who his granddaughter-in-law will be, I'm afraid he doesn't care at all.
Zhou Yanli glanced at Lin Shu and knew that she was unwilling.
"Besides, wait two years."
"We have to wait another two years. Zhou Shuang is already five years old, so it's the perfect time to have another child. I'm going to give my old son one year at a time. I'm afraid that by the time you two decide to have another child, my bones will be old enough to be used as drums. I can't see."
The old man's jokes were fake. Most of the time he was serious about forcing people to give birth.
Zhou Yanli looked at Lin Shu and said, "This matter is not something I can decide alone. I would like to have another child."
Zhou Yanli's eyes were burning, but Lin Shu felt that he was looking at another person through him.
"Grandpa, I'm currently working in a company and am quite busy. I don't have any plans for the time being."
The old man knew that the young couple had conflicts, but he didn't know that the conflicts had escalated to the point where they had been separated for several months.
Lin Shu's so-called work was already considered polite. Last time, the old man was irritated by Lin Shu's determination to break up, and he was worried day and night.
Today is a good time as both of them are here at the same time, and the old man also wants to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
As for women, once they have children, they won’t have so many thoughts.
The old man hadn't realized the seriousness of the relationship between the two. He was shocked to hear that Lin Shu had gone to work.
"Work?"
The old man looked at Lin Shu and asked, "Did he treat you harshly? Or did the Zhou family stop giving you food? When will it be your turn to go out and work?"
Mr. Zhou looked at Zhou Yanli seriously: "What's going on?"
This couple is getting more and more outrageous.
"What is Lin Shu's position in the company? We don't need to ask the Zhou family's young mistress to personally take charge of the company. If that happens, the man you married will be useless."
Old Master Zhou knew that his grandson's wife had always been his right-hand man.
Therefore, after Zhou got up, Mr. Zhou ordered his grandson to put his granddaughter-in-law first in everything.
When the old man heard that Lin Shu had gone to work, he thought it was ridiculous and wondered what the young couple was up to.
Lin Shu said calmly, "It's not Zhou's, it's a new technology company. I don't want to stay at home all day doing nothing. It has nothing to do with banquets."
She tried to get away with it by making up a random excuse, but the old man was not so easily fooled and got furious.
"Nonsense! How can you, the eldest young lady of the Zhou family, go to work for someone else's company? I told you to have another child sooner rather than later. Having another child will keep you busy and you won't have any other thoughts."
Lin Shu stopped talking, and Zhou Yanli did not explain.
The couple just kept on being cold, and the old man felt something was wrong. But he couldn't see any clues from them.
When Zhou Yanli and Lin Shu arrived, they were still holding hands and looking very affectionate. The old man thought Lin Shu was still upset.
"Lin Shu, be sensible. I swear to you that the position of the Zhou family's eldest young lady can only be yours, and no one else will."
Lin Shu remained indifferent: "Grandpa, I'll go see Shuangshuang."
Lin Shu left. The old man looked at Zhou Yanli and said, "She's mentally ill, and you let her do this? Is she still holding a grudge against Wen Xin?"
I have no objection to you raising Wen Xin for fun, but you must coax Lin Shu well."
The old man looked down on Wen Xin. No matter her background, he felt that her IQ was not as good as Lin Shu's. If she could really give birth, it would have a great influence on the genes of the Zhou family's descendants.
Zhou Yanli lit a cigarette and placed it in his hand, letting it burn slowly.
"I don't want to have another child either. Shuangshuang is enough for me."
He was speaking the truth. Lin Shu didn't even want to have sex with him. Anyone who wanted to save her now would have to burn his brain cells dry.
He himself was struggling to make ends meet, so how could he ask Lin Shu to agree to give her another child?
It's not something he can decide. Besides, he only likes the process.
Zhou Shuang has been away from Lin Shu for a long time. He wanted to be close to Lin Shu, but Zhou Shuang tried to snatch him away. If there was another one, where would his position be?
"Bullshit, bullshit."
When the old man gets angry, his words start to become rough.
"With only Zhou Shuang as the only one, won't our Zhou family have to recruit a live-in son-in-law in the future? Didn't you see how Lin Shu, that conscience-destroying father, wiped out his entire family?"
The old man was furious. He didn't want his grandson to have a bad death in the future.
Zhou Yanli: "What do you want me to do? Didn't you give Zhou Corporation 50% of its shares and she didn't take the bait?
Fortunately, she didn't keep it. Otherwise, if she had a second child, you would have been counting on me to be the stay-at-home dad. Just transfer Zhou's to Lin Shu, and we can retire together."
The old man said with a fierce face: "You little bastard, I'm here to tell you something serious, don't play dumb with me. I don't care what method you use, drugging, coercion, bribery, or even force, as long as you give me a great-grandson."
Zhou Yanli flicked the ash from his cigarette and said, "Aren't you worried at all that I'll end up in jail eating free food?"
The old man had a long conversation with Zhou Yanli for nearly an hour before letting him go.
The servant cleaned the room for the young couple to live in. Zhou Shuang's room was next door.
Lin Shu didn't want to stay, but was afraid that the master would become suspicious and things would get more complicated, so he had to stay the night reluctantly.
Zhou Shuang pestered Lin Shu to sleep with her, and Lin Shu was more than happy to do so.
In the evening, he took a bath directly in Zhou Shuang's room. Zhou Shuang asked her to tell him a story, and Lin Shu made up one to coax her.
The mother and daughter fell asleep. Lin Shu didn't know how long he slept when someone pinched his nose.
“Stop making trouble…”
She was half asleep and half awake, and seemed to have returned to the time when she and Zhou Yanli had just gotten married.
She turned over and tried to continue sleeping, but her breathing became difficult again. When she finally opened her eyes, she found Zhou Yanli sitting at the head of the bed, making a "hush" gesture.
"Come out, unless you want me to hold you."
Zhou Yanli spoke in a low voice. Faint moonlight streamed in from the window, illuminating his profile.
His handsome face under the cold moonlight looked like a god, and Lin Shu suddenly lost all sleepiness.
Zhou Yanli walked in front and she lingered behind.
Lin Shu didn't go in until they reached the door of his room.
Zhou Yanli frowned: "We are not in the same room. Grandpa will be suspicious tomorrow. You don't want to cause trouble, do you?"
Lin Shu hesitated, she was indeed concerned about the old man.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. We've been married for six years, don't you trust me?"
Lin Shu had a cold face. Believe him?
Oh……
She just trusted him too much.
"Come in, I promise not to touch you..."
