39. Zhou family
Sure enough, within two days, Wu Jue got the news from Su Mo that Zhou Xing was released due to insufficient evidence. When Wu Jue followed the media to the door of the police station, Zhou Xing happened to come out of it.
Reporters from all walks of life flocked up, Wu Jue followed Su Mo and rushed forward, but before he could rush in front of Zhou Yinan, he was squeezed away by the fierce reporters. However, she saw Zhou Yinan. It had only been two or three weeks since she last saw him, and although the person in front of her still had a warm and jade-like aura, the haggard look in the eyes of the wolf on that face made his whole person seem to have changed.
Wu Jue's heart was slightly sour.
Zhou Xing, who was about to bend down and get into the car that picked him up, saw Wu Jue, who was a little stunned, and quickly bypassed the crowd and pulled her into his car, by the way, he isolated the sound of those clicking cameras.
"Why are you here?" Zhou Xing asked her while motioning to the driver in front of him to drive.
"Brother Yibei, are you okay?" Wu Jue looked at him worriedly.
"It's fine." He leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, "I'm just under investigation, not going to jail." ”
"This time it'......," Wu Jue frowned, not knowing how to speak.
"I know. The old man is still in power, my brothers can't have such courage, someone must have done it behind their backs. ”
It turned out that he already knew.
After Zhou Xing finished speaking, he slowly opened his eyes, saw Wu Jue's dark expression, reached out and touched her head: "Don't worry, it's none of your business, even if there is no you, for me, public and private, this battle between me and Lin Jiahe will always be fought." It's a pity that I'm in Wei Hong, and I'm being restrained everywhere, so I can't make any big moves now. If those cousins join forces with him now, I'm afraid that my future life will be more difficult, and whether I can gain a firm foothold in Wei Hong is still a question. ”
Wu Jue looked at Zhou Xing, when would he have this kind of expression in the past. He has always been a bright and open-minded person, always with the mentality of being tall when the sky falls, and even when it is the most difficult, he has never shown this kind of worry and helplessness.
"Is it true that commercial bribery is true?" She asked cautiously.
Zhou Xing smiled helplessly: "In the shopping mall, if there is no shady transaction in private, it depends on who plays beautifully." It's not a real deal, but it's definitely not a big deal, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here. I think Lin Jiahe did this just to warn me that his game has just begun. ”
"Brother Yibei, will your future road be difficult?"
"If it's hard to walk, you have to go." Zhou Xing suddenly sat upright, swept away the gloom of his expression, and said with a smile, "When have you ever seen me scared?" Now the priority is to have a good meal and sweep away the bad luck. ”
Wu Jue looked at him who was suddenly full of energy, and most of the worries in his heart were gone: "Yes, yes, yes, what to eat in advance." ”
The two of them arrived in Victoria, which was considered the base of Zhou Xing, and Wu Jue followed him a few times. It's just that she can't figure it out, she can also meet Lin Jiahe here, I don't know if it's a bad fate, or the second time. Last time, it was a blind date with Li Mingyuan, and this time it was with Zhou Xing.
Doesn't Lin Jiahe like to go to the Jiangtian that can overlook Jiangcheng? Why, he also shifted positions?
Wu Jue, who was halfway through the meal, saw Lin Jiahe sitting across a few seats, and his mind was uncontrollable.
Zhou Xing has probably suffered a little bit in the past few days, and he has eaten happily, completely lacking his usual temperament. It wasn't until he noticed that there was no sound on the other side for a long time that he looked up, but saw Wu Jue's eyes looking in the other direction a little confused.
He turned his head slightly, and when he saw the back of Lin Jiahe, his face instantly dropped.
"It's really affecting my appetite." He pursed his lips and put down his knife and fork.
And over there, the woman opposite Lin Jiahe also caught a glimpse of their table, her bewitching eyebrows and eyes jumped slightly, and she leaned forward and whispered a few words to the person opposite.
The light in the restaurant was dim, and Wu Jue noticed that the person at the same table with Lin Jiahe was a very beautiful woman, and under the flow of lights, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of charm. However, she knew that this woman had absolutely no ambiguous relationship with Lin Jiahe, because she was the "very tall" in Cheng Yuzheng's mouth.
In a moment, Lin Jiahe had already turned around and met Wu Jue's line of sight. And the beauty opposite him got up first, walked over, and gently patted Zhou Xing on the shoulder: "Zhou Xing, shouldn't you introduce me?" ”
As she spoke, she winked at Wu Jue playfully and ambiguously.
Zhou Xing turned his head and was stunned for a moment, obviously, he didn't notice her just now.
"Weilan, why are you here?"
"Like you, come here to eat." After saying that, Ye Weilan turned his head and gestured to Lin Jiahe, who came over, "Lin Jiahe, my senior, you should know him." ”
Zhou Xing frowned and nodded lightly, but he didn't turn his head.
Although Ye Weilan is not in the shopping mall, he knows how to observe words and feelings, and he has also heard of the dispute between Wei Hong and Lin Zheng, so he instantly realized the subtlety of the atmosphere, so he no longer cares about Lin Jiahe behind him, but continues to ask Zhou Xing, "You haven't introduced it yet, who is this beauty?" ”
"Wu Jue, my friend." After speaking, Zhou Xing said to Wu Jue again, "This is Ye Weilan, you should have seen it." ”
As soon as his voice fell, Ye Weilan, who was standing, seemed to suddenly realize: "I remember, on my grandfather's birthday, it was you who were with Cheng Yuzheng, right?" ”
Wu Jue smiled and nodded, not knowing whether to praise the good memory of the beauty. In fact, looking at it up close, she felt that Ye Weilan felt that she was not only beautiful, but also really temperamental.
"It turns out that you are Zhou Xing's friend." Ye Weilan interrupted her thinking, and Lin Jiahe had already walked over.
Ye Weilan's face changed slightly, and he turned around and gently pulled Lin Jiahe: "I suddenly remembered that there was something to rush home, Jiahe, you can send me back quickly." ”
Lin Jiahe was handsome and slightly picky: "I haven't said hello to Mr. Zhou and Miss Lin yet." Or, Weilan, you go and wait for me in the car first, you shouldn't be in a hurry for a while, right? ”
Ye Weilan smiled: "Don't worry." Since you all know each other, I won't go into too much. I'll go to the car first, and you guys talk slowly. After that, he left first.
She still remembered that on that birthday, Wu Jue and Lin Jiahe's quiet interaction, probably another inexplicable relationship.
Lin Jiahe smiled lightly, his fingers tapped on the desktop, and his eyes looked at the wind and clouds on the desktop with disdain: "It seems that Mr. Zhou has not been doing very well these days." ”
Zhou Xing's originally gloomy face also bloomed with a smile, and he raised his eyes and said, "Mr. Lin is so capable that those cousins who instigated me to stab me in the back?" ”
"That's because you're not worthy of me to do it yourself." Lin Jiahe said with a low smile, then leaned over to Wu Jue, pursed his lips as if thinking for a moment, "By the way, Miss Wu, what gift do you think I should give you?" ”
"What do you want to do?" Before he could get closer, Zhou Xing had already pushed him away with a palm. The utensils on the table clattered because of his large movements, alarming the rest of the diner.
Lin Jiahe shook his body slightly and then stopped. And Zhou Xing didn't seem to realize his gaffe, he just stood up vigorously and said with a cold face: "What are you going to do and come directly at me." If you dare to touch a single hair of Wu Jue, I will never let you go. ”
After that, he actually grabbed Lin Jiahe's clothes, as if he was going to swing his fist.
Wu Jue was startled, quickly stood up, and grabbed him: "Don't be impulsive, let's go." ”
Zhou Xing took a deep breath and took his hand away, his expression was gloomy, but his tone was lighter: "Lin Jiahe, let me say it again, if you have any grievances, come directly at me, if you dare to hurt Wu Jue, even if I Zhou Xing gives up this life, I will not let you go." ”
Unexpectedly, Lin Jiahe didn't fight back, but just looked indifferent and squinted at the two of them. Seeing the two of them leaving hand in hand, he took out the phone and dialed a number: "You help me carefully check what the relationship between Wu Jue and Zhou Xing is." ”
"Lin Jiahe, what are you going to do?" Cheng Yuzheng, who was worried, couldn't wait to ask questions as soon as he stepped into Lin Jiahe's office.
Lin Jiahe, who was sitting behind the desk, looked at the information in his hand, looked up casually, and looked uncertain: "What's the matter?" ”
Cheng Yuzheng frowned, and sat down heavily on the chair: "I mean Wu Jue." Don't think you're doing those little gestures, I don't know. Jiahe, is this interesting? ”
"Cheng Yuzheng." Lin Jiahe snapped and threw his hand Chinese on the table, "Then let me ask you, do you think it's interesting to help this woman deceive me?" ”
Cheng Yuzheng was a little dumbfounded, and said after a while: "I just knew that there would be such a situation, so I didn't want you to know." Wu Jue is not a bad woman, I don't want to see you hurt her. ”
"So, you just watched her hurt me."
"Why do you talk angry? You know, as soon as I knew her purpose, I let her leave you. And she didn't hurt you, hurt Lin Zheng. After a pause, he continued to ask with some hesitation, "Unless...... Jiahe, you sue me, are you really in love with her? ”
"Shut up." Lin Jiahe angrily broke him off, "A liar is also worthy of my love? Cheng Yuzheng, you remember for me, I don't love Wu Jue, but I can't tolerate a woman sleeping next to me to lie to me. She's for Zhou Xing, right, then I'll let these two people know the fate of cheating me. ”
Cheng Yuzheng looked at the other side and tried his best to deny it, and suddenly a chill ran down his spine, which was simply a childish annoyance.
His conjecture was true. Lin Jiahe loves Wu Jue, loves him very much, loves him deeply, and hates it.
"Jiahe, you are calm and calm, I have checked, Wu Jue and Zhou Xing are not that kind of relationship. Zhou Xing used to be called Shen Yibei, the grandson of the old man of the Zhou family, and he only returned to the Zhou family two years ago to change his current name. Wu Jue and he are university alumni, and the relationship is indeed very good, but it is not the kind of ambiguity between men and women. It's because he was the cousin of Wu Jue's boyfriend at the time. Later, Wu Jue's boyfriend died in a car accident, Wu Jue was in a very poor state and stayed in the hospital for a long time, and Zhou Xing came back from abroad to take care of her. You know, Zhou Xing has been back to the Zhou family for less than three years, and his position in the Zhou family is very delicate. I think Wu Jue came to Lin Zheng to help him defeat Lin Zheng as a reward. ”
"I know what you're saying. So? Lin Jiahe snorted coldly, "Cheng Yuzheng, haven't you figured out what the relationship between her and Zhou Xing is, I don't care, because this can't change the fact that this woman deceived me and betrayed me." ”
"Jiahe. If you and Zhou Xing are fighting openly in the mall, I support you. But you do these shady actions behind your back, and I won't help you. ”
Lin Jiahe glanced at him lightly: "Cheng Yuzheng, I'm not you, I'm not a decent gentleman." They can all use this method, so why should I be upright, but to treat others in their own way. What I do with them is my business. I don't need you to help me. ”
Cheng Yuzheng's eyes swelled up with a look of distress, sighed, slowly stood up, and said word by word: "Jiahe, you will regret it." ”
After Cheng Yuzheng left, Lin Jiahe opened the folder on the table again, which contained the information of Wu Jue and Zhou Xing investigated by private detectives. As Cheng Yuzheng said, Wu Jue and Zhou Xing are not lovers.
So, is she really just trying to repay her kindness, or is the balance of affection already tilted in favor of another kind of affection?
He didn't know why he thought so, but the two of them he saw a few times together, the tacit understanding and protection of each other, made him feel very dazzling.
There is an up-to-date weekly magazine in the text jiàn folder, and the cover of the weekly magazine is a huge color photograph. Zhou Xing, who had just come out of the police station, was surrounded by reporters and carefully escorted Wu Jue into a black car. There is a striking caption on the photo - Wei Hong's successor, Zhou Xing, and his mysterious girlfriend have surfaced.
Lin Jiahe tore off the cover of the weekly magazine in disgust, crumpled it up and threw it into the trash.
The turmoil of commercial bribery has just passed, and Zhou Xing returned to Wei Hong, but he has not yet dealt with the burnt work in his hands. An even bigger storm followed.
The old man of the Zhou family suddenly fell ill and entered the emergency room.
Wave after wave of unsettled, the Zhou family can no longer push Wei Hong to the forefront, and the news that Old Man Zhou is seriously ill is completely blocked from the outside world.
Wu Jue received a call from Zhou Xing in the middle of the night, and when he hurried to the hospital, he saw a man sitting outside the operating room with his head hanging and his knees hugged.
Wu Jue's heart was slightly sour, the people inside were connected to him by blood.
She walked over slowly, sat down beside him, and patted him on the back gently, wanting to say something comforting, but couldn't say anything. Instead, Zhou Yinan slowly raised his head, and said with a slightly confused look: "Wu Jue, you are here." ”
Wu Jue held his hand and nodded.
"Actually, I really don't have a close relationship with him. For more than two years, I can count the words I have said to him. Even though it was my mother's last wish to return to Zhou's house, I didn't follow it at first, but chose to go abroad. It wasn't until he came back home that he came to me and asked, 'Where's your mother?' She hadn't called me in over two years. When I told him that my mother had been dead for two years, I saw this stubborn old man cry bitterly. At that time, I realized that this person was my relative, my last relative in the world, so I went back to Zhou's house with him. But now even this last loved one is leaving me. Wu Jue, do you think this is my fate? I am destined to leave me. I'm destined to be lonely for the rest of my life. ”
"Brother Yibei. You still have me. ”
Zhou Xing was a little stunned, and sighed faintly after a long time: "Yes, fortunately, there are still you." Perhaps, in the future, only the two of us poor people will depend on each other. ”
At this time, the lights in the operating room were turned on, and the doctor came out of it, Zhou Xing was still in a trance, Wu Jue had already stepped forward and grabbed the doctor's hand: "Doctor Lu, how are the people inside?" ”
The doctor who took off his mask said with a stern face: "Because it is a chronic illness and the patient is very old, although this operation can ensure that he is not worried about his life for the time being, it is difficult to ensure that it will be in danger at any time." Be ye prepared. After a pause, he asked with some confusion, "Miss Wu, why are you?" ”
Wu Jue pointed to the back and stood up, and Zhou Xing, who had already recovered a little: "I am his friend." ”
Dr. Lu nodded as if he was understanding, and said to Zhou Xing: "Mr. Zhou, the patient is pushed to the intensive care unit first, and when the old man wakes up, remember not to stimulate him." ”
Wu Jue accompanied Zhou Xing in the hospital until the morning. Maybe it was exhaustion, Zhou Xing's face was very bad, Wu Jue asked him to rest, and she guarded it, but he disagreed. She had to sit with her in the hospital room all the time.
Life is actually really impermanent.
The old man on the hospital bed can be said to have turned his hands into clouds and rain for a lifetime in the shopping mall, but in the end he is still as lonely and weak as falling leaves in the wind.
She heard Zhou Xing talk about some things about the Zhou family, and this old man was notoriously stubborn and arbitrary. At the beginning, Zhou Xing's mother, that is, the old man's youngest daughter, was fiercely opposed by the old man because she fell in love with a poor teacher, and she couldn't beat the mandarin duck, so she sent someone to hurt the poor teacher's leg and locked her daughter up.
Who knows, the seemingly weak young lady completely inherited the old man's stubbornness and stubbornness, and finally eloped with the poor teacher, left Jiangcheng and went to a certain city in the north, until a few years later, when the child was a few years old, she contacted the old man again. It's just that the old man is still stubborn, saying that he doesn't approve of the poor son-in-law, and although the daughter has been living a poor life, she has never bowed her head and compromised, but every year she will report her safety on the old man's birthday.
However, no one knows that the old man has three sons and one daughter under his knees, but only this daughter is the one he really loves, so he will cry loudly after knowing that his daughter has died. The old man's three sons, the standard gentleman, and the sons and daughters also inherited their father's vices, and the old man hated iron and steel, and the relationship with his son and grandson was very poor.
And this kind of difference, Wu Jue can be regarded as really seeing it in the morning.
When the Zhou family and his party just came in, Old Man Zhou woke up leisurely.
"Dad, it doesn't matter to you, right? Don't scare us. You're leaving, what are we going to do? Wu Jue didn't know the person who spoke, but based on the tone of her voice, she could guess that it was probably a certain daughter-in-law of the old man.
Although Old Man Zhou was weak, his words had a shocking majesty, he snorted coldly, and glanced at his three sons: "I see that you wish I died early so that I could divide the inheritance." ”
"Oh, Dad, what are you talking about? The Zhou family has a big business, and we are not afraid that some people with wolf ambitions will swallow Wei Hong in one bite. Isn't it, big brother? ”
The middle-aged man who was called the eldest brother laughed twice, and glanced at Zhou Yinan, who was sitting on the side, without a trace: "Yes." Old man, our three brothers are your own sons, and our children are your rightful grandsons. Seeing that you are going to hand over Wei Hong to someone who is not surnamed Zhou in the first place, of course we are worried. ”
"Get out, get out, get out of here." The old man's face turned pale, and he panted and pointed at a few people, "I'm not willing to die if you're not angry, am I?" Zhou Xing is the child of my daughter and your own sister, your sister and Zhou Xing have suffered for so many years, you still say such things, you are still not human! ”
Several people were scolded, and they didn't dare to refute, but only muttered in a low voice: "It's not that girl who asked for it." ”
"Get out—" When the old man heard this, he gasped even harder, seeing that there was only breath out but no breath in.
Zhou Xing hurriedly patted his chest: "Grandpa, don't get excited. ”
Wu Jue really couldn't look at it, so he stood up and said to a few people: "The doctor has explained that Old Man Zhou can't be stimulated, and he asked a few people to leave first." ”
The bejeweled woman looked at her with disdain: "Where did you come from?" Do you dare to take care of the affairs of the Zhou family? ”
"I'm sorry, I'm just thinking about the patients, and I'm asking a few of you to leave first. Later, the doctor will be alerted to call the security guard, and it will not look good when it gets out. ”
The woman still wanted to speak, but the person behind her had already seen Zhou Xing's angry eyes, so she said arrogantly: "Let's go, we will come again anyway." ”
After that, several people finally left.
