Chapter 42: Implications
In Zhou Sichen's expectant and inadvertent worried eyes, Su wanted to poke a piece that didn't look so strange and bite into his mouth, unexpectedly, it wasn't so unpalatable.
Seeing her expression, Zhou Sichen breathed a sigh of relief, and regained his confidence: "How is it, the taste is okay?"
Su Xiang nodded, and took a sip of wine from the glass.
This recognition was the only good news tonight, and the loneliness that had just been repeated was finally fading in Su Xiang's action of muffing out his cheeks and chewing steak like a little squirrel.
Zhou Sichen felt that something needed to be done-
"This is the freshest Kobe beef, flown back from Japan, worth $300. β
Su wanted to look sideways at him, as if he understood or not.
Zhou Sichen said reservedly: "How are you living in the hospital these days, the most advanced equipment in Germany and authentic fruits from all over the world, the daily meals are controlled by nutritionists, and the plates you use are also auctioned back by me from foreign auction houses, the collection of the Louis XVI period is priceless..."
Wait a minute!
On the other side, Zhou Sichen's mouth was still open and closed, she couldn't hear it at all, and the steak in her throat was stuck tightly.
What? Louis XVI's collection? She used to wash the fruit for a week... When I finally left, did I put it away, lying in the groove, it seems to be at the head of the bed... What should I do if it is broken? Will Zhou Sichen let her pay for it? Can't afford it? He specially mentioned why this matter has been broken?
Su Xiang had a storm in his mind, and was shocked that Zhou Sichen was so rich that she casually took a plate from his bedside to the collection of the Louis XVI period, but it was obviously so plain!
If she is asked to pay for it, then this is touching porcelain, and Su wants to be in good faith.
Zhou Sichen noticed that the person listening to him suddenly straightened up, and he was very satisfied, which proved that Su Xiang realized the importance of the next words, and she would definitely consider it carefully.
Xiao Zhou, who had already listed all kinds of advantages, took a breath and began to make the final conclusion: "Of course, these are just a drop in the bucket of the property I own, in every corner of Chinese mainland, there are almost partners who are inextricably linked with me, this is the territory I have laid down, the one who will stand by my side in the future, everything I have is also hers..."
Speaking of this, he glanced lightly at Su Xiang opposite.
Su Xiang nodded: "I understand." β
Zhou Sichen's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth that were about to bend were forced to be too big because of the heat of his slightly hot cheeks, he coughed, and tried to straighten the slightly curvy arc, and then straightened it, and said: "You say." β
Su thought, "This... I'm a little embarrassed to say..."
Zhou Sichen's eyes brightened, the light of the incandescent lamp above his head was reflected in it, like two clusters of white flames, the hand holding the knife and fork tightened, and he leaned forward: "You say." β
"Then I'll just say itβ"
Zhou Sichen nodded encouragingly.
Su thought: "I really didn't know that plate was so expensive, I looked at it at the time and it was a very ordinary white porcelain printed plate, so I didn't think much about it and took it to hold fruit." Which auction house did you get it from? I don't know how many of Louis XVI's plates like that, I'll go abroad in a few days to see them? I know what the collection means to collectors - I'm really sorry to break your plates..."
She also brewed for a long time before throwing out this long story, Zhou Sichen didn't know if he accepted it, after all, Su Xiang had never done anything to apologize to people in the past 20 years, and he was very inexperienced.
But he just hinted that he was so rich, and he probably just wanted to apologize from her.
Su Xiang deliberately observed Zhou Sichen's face, and didn't know why his face, which was not ruddy, instantly turned even paler after hearing it.
Su Xiang sighed in his heart.
"This plate...... There's no second one..."
Under the light, Zhou Sichen looked at her in a daze, opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but the rich shock and trance in his eyes enveloped him, so that he didn't make a movement for a long time.
After a long time, the tense body slowly collapsed, and Zhou Sichen lowered his eyes: "No need, the plate is not broken." β
The voice was low, and Su Xiang felt bored when he heard it.
Is this really what it looks like... How do you feel like a dead wife...
suddenly remembered that he was his ex-wife, and quickly sighed in his heart.
In Su Xiang's puzzled gaze, Zhou Sichen slowly stood up, forgot to put down his knife and fork, and walked to the door: "I'll go back first, you eat slowly..."
The sound of the door opening and closing, and the room was quiet again.
Su Xiang sat for a while, and then spread his hands inexplicably: "What's going on?"
*
After Zhou Linwan received Zhou Sichen's threat, she thought twice, and chose to retreat to the other side of the river first, after all, whoever has money is the father, Zhou Sichen, who holds the money printing machine, is still a heavyweight gold owner in the balance in her heart for the time being.
After blowing his hair and changing into pajamas, sitting on the sofa drinking beer and watching variety shows, Zhou Linwan felt extremely comfortable, but ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
Zhou Sichen stood outside in a reluctant manner, with a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, she was so startled that she took several steps back, and said vigilantly: "We are blood relatives, if you can't stab me, you have to give me a blood transfusion, it's not cost-effective." β
"Who's going to stab you to death. Zhou Sichen didn't look at her, he walked in and sat down on the sofa in a marionette style, threw away his knife and fork, and sighed.
This look of being obviously decadent after losing the battle is not common in Zhou Sichen, there are only two times in this life, and the last time I was lucky enough to witness the whole process, it happened to be her again.
Usually jokes are jokes, but at this moment, Zhou Linwan had already noticed that Zhou Sichen's mood was wrong, she sat down with a smile, and the hand that was about to pat her shoulder was half empty or retracted.
Zhou Linwan said: "Is it because I messed with her tonight and she was unhappy that she rejected you?"
Zhou Sichen sat like a mountain, motionless.
Zhou Linwan took a breath: "Looking at you like this, there is a high probability that it is not, does she have a reason for refusal?"
Zhou Sichen's body pressure seemed to be lower, and after a while, he said in a dumb voice: "She used a plate to divert the words, and she has already given me enough face, back then, back then-"
Speaking of this, he was so dumb that he couldn't listen to it anymore, but Zhou Linwan was full of excitement.
"Back then?!" she covered her mouth with an incredulous expression: "Is it still that person?"
"Hmmβ" his voice was muffled.
Zhou Linwan immediately burst into a nameless fire, and pushed him angrily: "Why are you so cowardly! How many years have passed!
was stabbed into a fragile nerve, Zhou Sichen even turned white in his lips, and he muttered, not knowing if he was just convincing himself: "They have broken up." β
Zhou Linwan shook her head: "But it doesn't prevent her from not loving you!"
