Chapter 13: Memories
The young lady was angry, Zhou Zhen was in a good mood, and when she was about to play, she asked in a low voice: "You are so beautiful, why is there no man chasing you?" β
"You really want a brother-in-law?"
Compared with Ma Haohan's cowardice, Zhou Zhen's personality is full of aggression. "In my heart, you have never been a sister, but a woman."
The young lady shook her hand, and the angle and strength of the ball were slightly deviated, knocking the ball away in two, and the cue ball did not retreat, leaving a good angle.
While the pool is hole-in, the cue ball can also knock other balls away.
Zhou Zhen smiled. "Humility."
The young lady was a little embarrassed. "What's so good about a man is that a woman lives freely."
"It is advisable to chase the poor with the remaining bravery, and you can't sell your name as a scholar overlord......" The sentence Zhou Zhen sang it, and finally pulled a tune.
The singing was ugly, which made the two guests playing next to him laugh, but the young lady was very angry. "Still fighting?"
Zhou Zhen leaned over and hit the exposed No. 6 ball into the hole with a deflection shot, and the cue ball came back and knocked the other balls away.
This time, he still didn't leave a chance for the young lady to resist, and directly defeated the young lady and disarmed and surrendered.
Putting down the club, he looked at the young lady with a straight face. "You've lost."
The young lady threw the cue on the table, turned around and left. "If you lose, you lose, it's not a big deal."
Zhou Zhen followed behind her and said, "You owe me a condition. β
The young lady looked back and said, "What? What did you say? β
This is trying to repay the debt, but it is the nature of women to be unreasonable.
Zhou Zhen smiled and watched her open a door behind the billiard hall, behind which was a corridor, a emblem-style courtyard patio, and there were other people living in it.
This is entering the house, in the original plot, Ma Haohan didn't even drink a sip of water, and walked away.
However, Zhou Zhen would not let her take the initiative, ignoring the few children who were doing homework in the yard, took two quick steps, stretched out his right arm, and stopped her.
"Want to cheat?"
The young lady looked at Zhou Zhen's face as she was getting closer and closer, and pushed Zhou Zhen's chest. "You're bolder than I thought."
Zhou Zhen laughed. "Because I know you're reluctant to hurt me. More than ten years of relationship......"
"Get out of the way."
Zhou Zhen smiled and said, "Are you weak-hearted? β
"Nope."
Zhou Zhen shook his head and said, "Don't forget, we have been friends for fourteen years. β
She couldn't stand this persecution, she was ashamed and annoyed, and her face turned red. "Don't you want to know about your dad's last days?"
"The old man left me alone for the sake of his own merry, and when I got to his grave, I wanted to scold him a few words!"
Having said that, Zhou Zhen still let her go.
A few children in the courtyard laughed when they saw their movements.
"Aunt Yingying, shame ......"
"Marry a daughter-in-law......"
Liu Yingying was ashamed when she heard this, and shouted to a few children: "Aunt is joking with uncle, you are not allowed to talk nonsense." β
The children all laughed, how shrewd the children are now, this is just a cover-up.
The children laughed, and Zhou Zhen made a grimace at them, but it provoked a group of children to "cut ......" in unison
It was despised.
She smirked and took out the key and opened the door. "Come in."
Zhou Zhen smiled and waved his hand with a few little guys, and then turned around and entered the door. "Entering the house!"
This appearance made the young lady grit her teeth with hatred and took the slippers to him. "Put it on."
The interior of the house is surprisingly well decorated, in stark contrast to the somewhat dilapidated exterior of the house.
The marble floors, mahogany furniture, crystal chandeliers, furnishings, and decoration are all stylish and exquisite.
Of course, it also costs money.
Zhou Zhen changed into slippers, unceremoniously looked around, and went up the stairs to the second floor to visit.
I didn't see the bedroom, so I went back to the first floor and pushed open the bedroom door.
As Zhou Zhen thought, there was no trace of a man in the house, but the bedroom was a little different, there was no trace of toughness, a very small woman.
Sure enough, as a certain host said, every strong woman lives in her heart with a small public act.
Liu Yingying kept leaning on the sofa and watched Zhou Zhen's movements coldly. Seeing him come out of the bedroom, he asked coldly, "Finished reading?" β
Zhou Zhen smiled, sat on the couch, and stretched his legs comfortably. "No trace of the old man was found."
"I redecorated it last year, and his stuff is in the attic, do you want to see it?"
"Not interested. Looks like you've had a good time all these years? β
The young lady's face showed a trace of tenderness and remembrance. "When my dad died, we came back here, and at that time, we lived in a dilapidated house in the country, and that dilapidated house was occupied by relatives.
When your father found out about our situation, he was like an angel who saved our mother and daughter. He is not my real father, but in my heart, he is even better than my biological father. β
Zhou Zhen nodded and said, "It should be ninety-seven years, and we started communicating at that time." β
"The first time he came here was in '96, when my mother and I had been kicked out of our hometown to work as a small worker in the county. He bought the house here.
But he didn't live here at that time, he just came every once in a while, and every time he came, it was when I felt the happiest. β
Zhou Zhen looked at her and asked, "Then what am I in your heart?" β
"Brother."
"Not a man?"
The young lady sneered. "How can you be as naΓ―ve as you can impress me?"
"And now?"
The young lady ignored him and said: "In 04, he came here and took out a large sum of money to buy the entire yard and the faΓ§ade.
I didn't get admitted to college at that time, and I mingled with a group of young people in society every day, and your father was afraid that I would study badly, so he opened a store and a billiard room in the biggest storefront, which became my career. β
"Obviously, you're doing a good job, and you're in the high-income group here."
With so many houses for rent and the opening of shops, her income will not be low, and it is no wonder that she looks down on the original Ma Haohan.
She got up suddenly, entered the bedroom, and after a while, took out a savings card and put it on the coffee table in front of Zhou Zhen.
"There's a million here, most of my savings, you can take it."
"I don't need compensation, what's more, in front of whom the old man is willing to spend his money, it is his freedom, and I will not fight."
The young lady showed her doubts and asked, "Then your purpose?" β
Zhou Zhen also understood why the young lady didn't even give Ma Haohan saliva to drink in the plot of the movie, so she drove him away.
In her heart, she may still be afraid that Ma Haohan will fight for family property.
If it was the previous wreck, she obviously didn't want to deal with it, but now Zhou Zhen gave her a different feeling, so she was willing to take the money out to settle the matter.
Zhou Zhen sat up straight, looked at her and said, "Of course it's you!" You've lied to me for more than ten years, and I've always treated you as a girlfriend, and that's how you treat me? Money, I don't lack money, this time Dongji Island moved, I left a house, and there are millions of compensation, am I short of money? β
The young lady standing opposite the coffee table was stunned for a long time, and said without confidence: "We are sisters and brothers." β
"It's not true." Zhou Zhen teased: "Don't forget how close we are in our letter...... My youth, my love, fourteen years! How many fourteen years are there in life? β
"And what do you want?"
She is slightly thinner and slimmer than Zhou Mo, especially her appearance, which is very in line with Zhou Zhen's aesthetics.
"Look at the hardships you have lived alone, take pity on you, and let me take care of you in the future!"
The young lady's eyes widened in surprise, and she sighed pitifully: "You have refreshed my bottom line of shamelessness...... In the past fourteen years, not only have you been giving your feelings, haven't I? β
Zhou Zhen kept saying revenge, but in fact, it was just to reverse Ma Haohan's fate.
Seeing that the young lady had already admitted defeat, she couldn't help but sigh: "There are too many entanglements of interests between us, so this relationship is not pure at all." β
After all, this young lady is the type he likes, and he can't bear to force it anymore.
"Don't have such an attitude, tell me about the old man, I'm actually a little curious about him."
The young lady looked at Zhou Zhen and couldn't connect the person in front of her with the person in her memory. Everything today was beyond her expectations.
A younger brother who was a little affected in her mind has become a domineering man, which makes her a little overwhelmed.
However, she soon recovered, sat down opposite Zhou Zhen, and began to tell him a story about more than ten years before and after.
Ma Haohan's father presented a different image in the hearts of the two people.
This kind of joint participation of memories not only quickly fills the loopholes in the story, but also quickly shortens the distance between the two people who met for the first time.
However, she used to be an older sister and he was a younger brother.
Now, she's a woman, he's a man.
