Chapter 44: The Bet
Li Zefan's straightforward eyes made Zuo Xinrou feel a little awkward, she hesitated, turned around and strode out of the house. Li Zefan reacted extremely quickly, and immediately reached out and grabbed her arm.
"You ......," he paused, not knowing what to say.
Zuo Xinrou's brows furrowed, but she didn't mean to walk away, just looked at him with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
"I heard Zeqi say that you went to work at home in northern Jiangsu." When he said this, his brows involuntarily twisted, and his gaze was leisurely and incomprehensible.
As soon as she heard him ask about this matter, Zuo Xinrou felt a moment in her heart, but her face did not show the slightest mistake: "Is there anything wrong with my work?"
Her tone was slightly cold, which made Li Zefan stunned, and then the scene where Zuo Xinrou invited Su Bei back for dinner that night came to his mind, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and his words changed: "Why do you want to work at him?"
Zuo Xinrou felt a little funny, what position did he stand on and asked her why she wanted to work in the Su family? Friend? They can't be counted yet, can they? Lover? It's even more impossible. Then why is his tone so cold and even a little annoyed, who let him be nosy? Thinking about it, she raised an eyebrow: "Does this have anything to do with you?"
Li Zefan's face suddenly became bad, his mind didn't say that she didn't understand it at all, and he didn't see Su Bei's thoughts about her, he just didn't like her walking too close to Su Bei, and he just didn't like that thoughtful guy.
"What does it have to do with me?" Li Zefan tightened his brows and asked, but he was suddenly stunned, yes, what position did he have to ask her like this? In what condition is he angry?
Looking at Li Zefan, who had nothing to say, Zuo Xinrou suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she suddenly found that she was faintly expecting what he would say next.
Li Zefan moved his lips and didn't say anything after all, Zuo Xinrou suppressed the love in his heart and shook off his hand vigorously: "It has nothing to do with you, so I won't worry about you."
Her face had turned completely cold, and she didn't know why, why she was so angry when he didn't speak and had nothing to say.
With that, she turned and walked into the room. Li Zefan was left alone standing stupidly outside.
Why? Why was he so angry all of a sudden? Why was he so uneasy when he heard that Zuo Xinrou had gone to Su's house? I can't even control my feelings, is this still the president of the Li Group who is calm in the face of things?
Although he admitted that he had her in his heart, he suddenly found that he cared so much about her today, and he was shocked that he cared about Cheng DΓΉ.
Li Zefan looked at the lights on a rainy night and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, what should he do? What should he do if he encounters such a situation for the first time in more than 20 years?
Zuo Xinrou walked into the living room and saw Li Zeqi and Li Zeye nesting in the sofa watching a movie, she paused slightly, saw that the two of them didn't see her come in, and simply turned around and went upstairs.
At this time, Li Zeqi heard her footsteps going upstairs, looked up at her, and felt that something was wrong: "Xinrou, what's wrong with you today?"
Zuo Xinrou paused, then pulled out a smile and pretended to be relaxed and replied: "It's nothing, I just feel a little tired."
Li Zeye also glanced up at her, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and then he saw Zuo Xinrou disappear at the end of the stairs, Li Zeqi turned his head and glanced at Li Zeye.
"Second brother, eldest brother just went out, why haven't you come back yet?"
The deep meaning in her words made Li Zeye smile brightly, and the smile was so cute that people felt a little dazzling, Li Zeqi pursed his lips, what are you doing with such a treacherous smile?
Li Zeye looked at the location of the gate in a good mood: "Zeqi, how about we make a bet?"
Li Zeqi asked with some curiosity and inexplicably, and Li Zeye smiled unabated: "Bet on whether the big brother likes Xin Rou or not."
"What did you say?" Li Zeqi shouted in disbelief, big brother likes Xinrou? What's going on? When did it happen? Why didn't she feel it at all? How so?
Although she was surprised, Li Zeqi thought about it in turn, although Zuo Xinrou's family background is not very small, she is very good at speaking, she likes it. If the eldest brother really falls in love with Zuo Xinrou, it means that the eldest brother has a very good vision!
It's just that...... Soon another thought came to Li Zeqi's mind, and she asked with some disbelief: "It's impossible, the eldest brother and the Xin family have an agreement."
Li Zeye was obviously a little disdainful: "So what? Don't forget that that's just what grandpa and their elders mean, and you and I know whether the eldest brother means this or not. β
"But you don't know grandpa's temper, and you never look back on what you decide, even if you know it's wrong." Li Zeqi frowned.
Li Zeye's smile was still the same, and a strange look was added to his face: "Do you think the eldest brother is a person who compromises lightly?"
Li Zeqi was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became a little complicated, she understands the temperament of the eldest brother, but the grandfather's temperament is also stubborn, so there is always a party to be hurt.
Li Zeye saw through Li Zeqi's thoughts, and he didn't worry about it, why should he think so much if things didn't come to the end of the mountain.
The Li family has a lot of big business, and the wealthy family is far from being as glamorous as outsiders see, and there are too many unknown secrets behind it, so that the fate of the people who come out of the family is not something they can control at will even in the 21st century.
Li Zefan, as the only grandson of the Li family, is not that he doesn't understand this truth, but what if he understands? Do you have to take the life path arranged by the old man? Doesn't marriage have the right to make decisions?
No, of course he doesn't, life is his own business, and no one has the right to interfere, let alone arrange.
The icy rain wet his clothes, and Li Zeqi's lowered voice came from the living room: "Why don't I think my eldest brother likes Xinrou?"
Li Zeye's tone was a little ridiculous: "You? As far as your EQ and IQ are concerned, when you see it, it's time to settle things. β
Li Zeqi was a little unconvinced, and snorted coldly: "I don't believe it, I bet that my eldest brother doesn't like Xinrou at least now."
"What about the loser?" Li Zeye asked with a smile.
Before Li Zeqi could speak, he heard Li Zefan's cold voice coming: "You two have been very idle all day, the company has been very busy recently, you go to the company to help."
Hearing this, both of them were stunned, and then Li Zeye quickly reacted: "Ahem, cough, cough...... I've been feeling unwell lately, so I'm going to rest first. β
After speaking, he walked up to the second floor quickly, Li Zeqi looked at his rapidly disappearing back and blushed a little, the second brother was too unconscionable, this bet was obviously made by him, but now it is better to run faster than a rabbit, it is too much.
Thinking like this, she didn't dare to stay longer, and turned off the movie and showed a far-fetched smile at Li Zefan, who had a cold face: "Big brother, I suddenly remembered that I had to go up beforehand."
After speaking, without waiting for Li Zefan's reaction, he followed up to the second floor.
