Chapter 1: The Waste Son-in-law
At the dinner table, Zhou He grinned, picked up chopsticks and stretched out the last piece of meat on the plate.
Seeing this, Zhang Cuihua grabbed the piece of meat first, threw it on the ground, and the puppy lying on the table hurriedly wagged his tail and ran over.
"Hmph, it's better to have a dog than a waste." Zhang Cuihua glanced at Zhou He, and said unceremoniously: "Raise a dog, at least you can take care of the family and nursing home, raise a waste, and you can't do anything except eat all day long." ”
"That's it, sister, what do you think this waste has dragged our family into?" Chu Shiyu took the opportunity to say: "That's right, this waste saved you at the beginning, but we have raised him for three years, and it can be regarded as repaying the favor." ”
"Shihui, what your sister said is right, in my opinion, you should divorce this fool as soon as possible." Zhang Cuihua said: "At the beginning, I was looking at this waste of talents, and for your sake, I agreed to let him be a door-to-door son-in-law, who would have thought that within a few days of marriage, a good person would suddenly become a fool, in the past few years, our Chu family has been ridiculed by the neighbors, anyway, I can't live such a life!" ”
Faced with the decline of her mother and sister, Chu Shihui just buried her head in eating and didn't say a word.
Three years ago, Chu Shihui went out to run errands, and suddenly encountered several hooligans and indecent manners, and just when she was desperate, Zhou He appeared.
Chu Shihui remembered very well that Zhou He drove away those hooligans in three or two clicks.
After escaping, Chu Shihui was naturally very grateful to Zhou He, who knew that Zhou He would make a three-year appointment with her.
The so-called three-year covenant means that Chu Shihui will be responsible for taking care of Zhou He in the future, with a time limit of three years, no matter what happens, she must not give up halfway.
In order to repay the favor, Chu Shihui agreed without hesitation.
However, she knew that with her ability, it was impossible to support a big man for so long; What's more, if a lonely man and a widow have been together for a long time, they will inevitably suffer from the cold words of the people around them.
After some careful consideration, Chu Shihui decided to recruit Zhou He as a son-in-law in the name of fake marriage, so that everything would be justified.
As for the later things, it was completely unexpected by Chu Shihui.
Zhou He was originally a flexible, mature and steady man, who would have thought that a few days after he got married, he suddenly became a fool, and he knew to giggle at people all day long.
It is also for this reason that their Chu family has become a laughing stock in the eyes of their neighbors.
In fact, it's not just that her family can't stand the cold words of others, Chu Shihui's heart is even more tormented, imagine how much endurance and perseverance she needs to share the bed with a fool for so many years?
Fortunately, in a few days, it will be the appointed day, and every time she thinks of this, Chu Shihui can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if the thousand-pound heavy stone that has been pressing on her heart can finally be put down!
However, thinking that Zhou He didn't even have the most basic self-reliance ability now, if he was kicked out of the house like this, Chu Shihui really couldn't bear it!
"Shihui, Mom is talking to you, don't pretend you didn't hear." Zhang Cuihua was anxious: "Listen, you have to get this fool away as soon as possible, anyway, there is me without him in this family, and there is him without me." ”
"Alright, Mom, I see." Maybe it was because she couldn't stand Zhang Cuihua's constant nagging in her ear, Chu Shihui got impatient and threw down her chopsticks and went back to the room.
"This girl, my mother will be unhappy when she says a few words from you." Zhang Cuihua fell down the road.
Zhang Cuihua and her little daughter looked at each other, and quickly turned their eyes to Zhou He, only to see Zhou He sitting at the table, still grinning.
"Laugh, you know how to laugh all day long, just laugh to death." Zhang Cuihua was angry, slapped the table, and left in a huff.
"Waste." Chu Shiyu rolled her eyes at Zhou He and left.
Zhou He was the only one left in the huge living room, and Zhou He sat there alone and laughed stupidly.
I don't know how long it took, Zhou He's body suddenly shook slightly, a terrifying light radiated from his scattered eyes, and his smirking face had turned indifferent.
"I finally broke through the first layer, and it was in vain that I worked hard for three years." Zhou He spat out a turbid breath and was secretly pleased.
Many years ago, Zhou He accidentally obtained two secret books, one for cultivation and one for medicine, and at the beginning of cultivation, his mind and reactions would be greatly affected, just like a three-year-old child.
Fortunately, he saved Chu Shihui by chance three years ago, and with the opportunity of the three-year appointment, Zhou He would start the path of cultivation without any scruples.
In the past three years, Zhou He has spent the past three years like a walking corpse, in a muddy environment, but although his mind and reaction are limited, Zhou He remembers everything that happened in the past three years clearly.
The father-in-law, mother-in-law and sister-in-law are bitter and mean, white-eyed and sarcastic, Zhou He remembers them one by one!
Of course, Chu Shihui, a woman, kept her promises, and even suffered cold words from others and even relatives because of him, and Zhou He will never forget it!
Although everything Chu Shihui has done is fulfilling her promises, it is a matter of course.
But in Zhou He's opinion, everything this woman has done has long gone beyond the scope of repaying her kindness.
This love, Zhou He can't forget!
If this woman is willing to stay with her, Zhou He will live up to it!
Zhou He said the name Chu Shihui a few times, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
"It's me." After connecting and connecting, Zhou He said coldly.
"Mr. Zhou, is it really you?" A middle-aged man on the other end of the phone asked in disbelief, "It's great that you can call." ”
"Count the days, your old man's condition should have relapsed recently, right!" Zhou He asked.
"Yes, as you said, my father's migraine has flared up again, and it hurts worse and worse every time." The middle-aged man said anxiously: "Thinking of your previous explanation, the three-year period has not yet arrived, and we dare not bother." ”
"My business is done, you can have someone come and pick me up to treat your old man now." Zhou He reminded.
"Great, please tell me the location, and I'll bring someone to pick you up myself." The middle-aged man said flatteredly.
Hanging up the phone, Zhou He looked at the various rooms and left quietly.
Ten minutes later, in front of an intersection, a black Bentley sedan slowly stopped in front of Zhou He.
As soon as the car stopped, the rear seat door was pushed open, and a capable man in a suit and leather shoes hurriedly got out of the car, first nodded respectfully to Zhou He, and then opened the door sideways and invited Zhou He to get into the car.
The sedan started, and the atmosphere inside the car seemed a little dignified.
The middle-aged man sat beside Zhou He cautiously, not even daring to breathe, for fear of breaking the peace in front of him.
After driving some distance, the Bentley entered a courtyard.
This courtyard in Lianhuai City can be said to be known to everyone, and no one knows - the Jiang family's mansion.
Speaking of the Jiang family, I have to mention one person, Mr. Jiang Hongpeng.
Old Man Jiang can be a big man with a pivotal position in Lianhuai City, so to speak, if he stomps his feet casually, the entire Lianhuai City will tremble.
At that time, Mr. Jiang came to Lianhuai City alone, and after years of hard work, almost all industries under his name have been involved in various industries in the city.
And the middle-aged man who came to pick up Zhou He was Jiang Feng, the only son of Old Man Jiang.
The car slowly stopped in front of the villa gate, Jiang Feng got out of the car first, bypassed the rear of the car, and gently opened the door for Zhou He.
"Mr. Zhou, I have asked people to prepare tea, and I will treat my father after you have a short rest." Jiang Feng said reverently.
"No, treat your old man first." Zhou He shook his head and said, "Before that, prepare a few things for me." ”
"Please do what you command." Jiang Feng waved his hand and invited Zhou He to enter the villa.
In a bedroom on the second floor of the villa, a maid was gently rubbing Jiang Hongpeng's temples, Jiang Hongpeng's eyes were slightly closed, and his wrinkled old face was full of pain, constantly moaning like nothing.
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Zhou is here." A man with gray hair and a bit of elegance suddenly rushed in.
This person's name is Xu Ziwen, who has been chasing Jiang Hongpeng for many years, and has a very high status in the Jiang family.
"What did you say?" Jiang Hongpeng, who was lying on the bed and groaning in pain, sat up suddenly, his wide eyes full of surprise and disbelief.
"The same Mr. Zhou who treated you in the first place is here." Xu Ziwen gasped and explained with a happy face.
"Quick, Ziwen, help me to see Mr. Zhou." Jiang Hongpeng couldn't wait, he knew in his heart what Zhou He's arrival meant.
Xu Ziwen didn't dare to slack off, and walked quickly to the bedside.
"Don't bother, I'm here." At this moment, a man's voice came from the direction of the door.
As soon as the words fell, Zhou He and Jiang Feng walked in.
"Mr. Zhou, you're finally here." Jiang Hongpeng was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he hurriedly greeted Zhou Congratulatory: "Please be sure to save my old life." ”
"Don't worry, I, Zhou He, have always been good at talking, and since I promised to save you, I will never break my word." Zhou He reminded: "You go back to bed and lie down now, and I will treat you." ”
"Great, so I don't have to suffer from pain anymore." Jiang Hongpeng actually shed two lines of tears.
Xu Ziwen carefully helped Jiang Hongpeng to the bed.
"Mr. Zhou, according to your instructions, I have asked people to prepare things." Jiang Feng stepped forward and asked, "I don't know what else I need to do?" ”
"I don't like to be disturbed when I'm healing." Zhou He reminded.
"I see." Jiang Feng nodded and ordered, "Except for me and Uncle Wen, everyone else will go out." ”
Several servants answered and left the bedroom.
Zhou He came to the bed, first carefully examined Jiang Hongpeng's body, and then picked up the silver needle that Jiang Feng had prepared in advance, and began to administer the needle treatment.
Jiang Feng and Xu Ziwen honestly stood aside and watched, not daring to disturb.
Time passed minute by minute, and more than a dozen silver needles were inserted into Jiang Hongpeng's head by Zhou He.
Looking at these silver needles, Jiang Feng and Xu Ziwen couldn't help but sweat in their hearts, but they found that Jiang Hongpeng's expression was very calm, and they couldn't see a trace of pain.
After almost an hour, Zhou He took off the silver needles one by one.
After living for several hours, Zhou He's forehead was already covered with dense beads of sweat.
Seeing this, Xu Ziwen hurriedly stepped forward to pick up a towel and gently wiped Zhou He's sweat.
Zhou He took the towel and did it himself.
"Dad, how are you feeling?" Jiang Feng took the opportunity to come to the bed and help his father up, and asked with concern.
Jiang Hongpeng felt it for a while, and exclaimed with surprise on his face: "It obviously feels less painful, and my mind is much lighter, not as groggy as before." ”
"What a miracle doctor!" Xu Ziwen exclaimed in amazement.
"Mr. Zhou, may I ask if my dad is cured of this disease?" Jiang Feng asked tentatively.
Zhou He said: "The old man has been stubbornly ill for many years, how can it be so easy to cure it at one time!" ”
Jiang Feng thought about it and thought that what Zhou He said was reasonable.
"However, you don't have to worry, with me, it won't be long before the old man's illness will be cured." Zhou He comforted: "It's just a matter of time. ”
"Great, everything depends on Mr. Zhou." Jiang Feng said gratefully.
"Xiaofeng, quickly arrange the hotel, I want to give Mr. Zhou a banquet to thank you for saving your life." Compared with a few hours ago, Jiang Hongpeng is now in good spirits, and he is like two people.
"The hotel has already been arranged." Jiang Feng said with a smile.
After a brief packing, the two high-end cars drove out of the Jiang family's mansion and headed for the hotel.
Along the way, Jiang Hongpeng was in a good mood and chatted with everyone non-stop, but it was Zhou He, with an indifferent expression, quietly watching the scenery outside the window.
Imperial Crown Hotel is one of the largest hotels in Lianhuai City, and is favored by the upper class people in Lianhuai City.
Every time there is a happy event, they will choose to celebrate here with wine, and there is light on their faces.
A black BMW sedan slowly stopped in front of the hotel entrance, and two waiters stepped forward quickly and carefully opened the doors on both sides of the rear seats.
Chu Shiyu and a fashionably dressed young man got out of the car, and the two entered the hotel together.
This is Chu Shiyu's boyfriend Yao Dongfeng, a very rich child.
"Honey, thank you for taking me here to eat, it's the first time I've come to eat in such an upscale place when I've grown so big." Chu Shiyu said with a happy and satisfied face.
"You can go wherever you want, as long as you like." Yao Dongfeng patted his chest and shouted, "Anyway, what I have is money." ”
"I just like your boldness." Chu Shiyu stood on tiptoe and gently waved Yao Dongfeng's face.
"Since I'm doing so well, when we're done eating, shall we go to the hotel?" Yao Dongfeng stretched out his hand and touched the place where Chu Shiyu had kissed, and the monkey asked anxiously.
"Nasty." Chu Shihui's face was shy, and she looked at Yao Dongfeng with white eyes.
"Then I'll take you as a promise." Yao Dongfeng blossomed: "If you want to eat anything later, just order, anyway, I have a membership card for this hotel, which can be discounted." ”
"I knew you were the best." Chu Shiyu leaned on Yao Dongfeng's arms and said.
At this time, two high-end cars slowly stopped in front of the hotel gate, and Wu Yuhua, the general manager of the hotel who had been waiting for a long time, personally stepped forward to call the back door of the Bentley car.
Jiang Hongpeng got out of the car with Zhou He with a red face.
"Elder Jiang, I've been waiting here for a long time." Wu Yuhua's face was full of flattering smiles: "You can deign to come to our hotel for dinner, it really makes our hotel shine!" ”
"Xiao Wu, don't say polite words." Jiang Hongpeng waved his hand: "Today I want to entertain this important guest here with you, I hope you will not let me down." ”
An important guest?
Wu Yuhua's face was stunned, and his eyes looked at Zhou He in surprise.
To let Old Man Jiang receive such a grand reception, I am afraid that the entire Lianhuai City will be turned over, and there will be no few people to come!
But this person is dressed ordinarily, his face is unfamiliar, and he doesn't look outstanding!
It stands to reason that Lianhuai City has such a great god, and with Wu Yuhua's social status, it is impossible not to know!
However, after repeated identification, Wu Yuhua was sure that he really didn't know the young man in front of him.
Jiang Feng looked at Wu Yuhua, who looked stunned, and asked a little unhappily, "Manager Wu, are you going to leave us here like this?" ”
"Of course not." Wu Yuhua dared to slack off any longer, and hurriedly waved his hand to invite: "Old Jiang, please." ”
"Okay, Xiao Wu, you don't have to accompany us, just go about your business." Jiang Hongpeng is not a person who likes to be public.
"Understood, then I'll let our hotel's lobby manager Xiao Xie serve you for dinner, and call me at any time if you have anything." Wu Yuhua nodded in response, and called casually: "Xiao Xie, come here." ”
As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man wearing myopic glasses standing on the side stepped forward quickly: "General Manager Wu." ”
"Jiang Lao's identity, you should be very clear in your heart." Wu Yuhua explained with a stiff face: "If Jiang Lao is a little dissatisfied, you will roll me up and leave." ”
"Yes, yes, I know." Manager Xie nodded in response as if the chicken was pecking rice.
"Elder Jiang, then I won't disturb your meal." Wu Yuhua said with a smile.
Jiang Hongpeng nodded, and under the leadership of Manager Xie, he and Zhou He entered the hotel.
Dinner began quickly, and the dishes and wines were all top-of-the-line at the Imperial Crown Hotel.
Halfway through dinner, Zhou He got up and went to the bathroom.
A few steps out of the private room, a man and a woman walked over from the opposite side.
"Zhou He......." Chu Shiyu looked at Zhou He in surprise, and then his face turned angry, and he asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Zhou He's expression was indifferent and he didn't speak.
"You're stalking me?" Chu Shiyu exclaimed firmly.
Zhou He sneered, but still didn't speak.
"Baby, who is this?" Yao Dongfeng glanced at Zhou He coldly with his afterglow and asked.
"He's the waste husband my sister was looking for." Chu Shiyu said mercilessly.
"Oh, I remember!" Yao Dongfeng laughed disdainfully: "It turns out that he is the fool who has been eating and drinking in your house for three years!" ”
Zhou He raised his head and stared at Yao Dongfeng, a terrifying cold light flashed in his eyes, but after hesitating for a few seconds, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bypassed Chu Shiyu's side, and prepared to leave.
"Don't go!" Chu Shiyu hurriedly stepped forward to block Zhou He's way, and asked aggressively: "The deeds are revealed, do you want to escape?" Do you think there will be such a cheap thing? ”
"Say, what are you sneaking on to my girlfriend for?" Yao Dongfeng suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Zhou He's collar: "I understand, you want to plot against your sister-in-law, aren't you?" ”
"Disgusting, it's really a toad that wants to eat swan meat." Chu Shiyu rolled her eyes at Zhou He with disgust: "Don't pee and take care of your own virtue, my sister is blind and follows you, Miss Ben is not so stupid!" ”
