139. Absent engagement
The warmth of the dinner table at night did not spread to the villa area on the other side of the capital.
Although for Zhou Yitong, it was a very happy night.
Her mother, who has always been very busy, came back from a business trip abroad, and finally today her uncle also came home, and her grandparents stopped arguing together, and everyone sat down to eat together.
Compared with Zhou Yitong's happiness, the atmosphere at the Zhou family's dining table was very quiet, when Zhou Chu insisted on studying at NUS, and when Zhou Chu's mother threatened to sever the mother-son relationship with Zhou Chu, there was no stiffness today.
At the square dining table of the family, Zhou Wensheng is still sitting in the main seat, on the left is Zhou Chu's mother Luo Chen and sister Zhou Qing, and on the right side is Zhou Chu and Zhou Yitong.
Zhou Yitong is young and doesn't know what's going on at home recently, but after her mother came home this time, except for her, the whole family was unhappy.
"Uncle, I'm going to start school the day after tomorrow, will you take me out tomorrow?" In Zhou Yitong's small head, he couldn't think of anything else that could make his uncle happier.
My uncle lived in my hometown during this time and never went out, so if I took her out to play tomorrow, my uncle would definitely be very happy.
But this time, Zhou Chu did not agree to Zhou Yitong as readily as before, but said to Zhou Qing: "Sister, you can accompany Tongtong." ”
He looks like a decadent waste young master all day long, staying at home and doing nothing, not going in to inspect the ACE work, not going out to socialize, just staying at home.
Do nothing.
"No, I'm going with my uncle." Zhou Yitong was the first to stand up and object, hugged Zhou Chu's arm and said: "I want to go with my uncle, when my uncle takes my aunt out to play, my uncle and I are the happiest, I don't want to go with my mother." ”
She went out with her mother, but her mother didn't let her eat hamburgers, she didn't let her drink Coke, and the clothes she bought were not as beautiful as her aunt's, so she wanted to go with her uncle and aunt.
As soon as she called her aunt, it was like poking Luo Chen's trachea, she put the chopsticks in her hand on the table heavily, and said sternly: "Aunt?!" Who's your aunt?! Who allowed you to call that nasty woman's aunt?! ”
Zhou Yitong had never seen her grandmother murder her like this, nor had she heard such dirty words, so she was so scared that she didn't dare to eat, so she hid behind Zhou Chu.
Luo Chen didn't want to give up, and blamed Zhou Chu this time: "It's all you who are crooked on the top and crooked on the bottom, and take her to meet those indiscreet women, so she can't even tell who her aunt is now!" ”
If you fall in love, you will fall in love, what qualifications do you have to call your aunt?!
"Mom, what are you doing so fiercely? The child is still young and doesn't know the affairs of adults, so don't be angry with her. Zhou Chu protected Zhou Yitong and was not too polite to Luo Chen at the dinner table: "Whoever she likes, she can call her aunt, and whoever you like as a daughter-in-law, you can propose, I have no opinion, and you shouldn't have an opinion." ”
He protects Zhou Yitong, she is willing to call Aunt Ren Qiao'an, and he does not object to his parents to arrange a marriage, and he is willing to let whoever enters the door as a daughter-in-law to propose.
If he doesn't participate, it's the same as getting engaged, he doesn't attend, and he can toss as much as he likes.
"What are you talking about?! Your future wife is not her aunt?! Luo Chen was also polite, but remembering that at the engagement banquet before, Zhou Chu hid and didn't appear, which simply gave her a loud dismount.
Thinking that the Zhou family was a mess now, Luo Chen had nowhere to vent the anger in his heart, so he could only think that he was unlucky to swallow this breath, and discussed with Zhou Chu first: "When you were engaged before, you left Shuyi alone in the engagement venue, and the Zhang family was ugly at that time. ”
Thinking of the events of that day, Luo Chen still had palpitations, before this, Zhao Wangsheng's engagement banquet of the cheap race was yellow, and their Zhou family made such a big scandal at the engagement banquet, but the Zhang family was willing to engage with them regardless of their previous suspicions, and the relationship between the two families had no impact, which was simply beyond Luo Chen's expectations.
Zhou Wensheng has also been very well-behaved these days, and did not divorce Yin Ruwei because she appeared again, but admitted in person that it was Yin Ruwei who seduced him back then, which is equivalent to throwing all the fault to Yin Ruwei.
Now that her husband has admitted her mistake and Yin Ruwei is also ruined, Luo Chen can't say how comfortable she is.
In addition to this disobedient son who worries her, if he is obedient and engaged to Zhang Shuyi, completely controls the group in his hands, and finds Zhou Qing a well-connected husband in two years, then her life will really be complete.
Taking advantage of the fact that the whole family was here today, Luo Chen did not hide his thoughts, and said to Zhou Chu: "Do you know that you hid and did not attend the engagement ceremony, which made the Zhang family lose a lot of face at that time, if it wasn't for the chairman of Qiao'an Group to buy it, I don't know how to explain to others why my son didn't attend." ”
Speaking of this, Luo Chen felt relieved: "But Shuyi, she has just experienced such an embarrassing scene, not only does she not blame you, but she has always made excuses for you, she thinks about you like this, isn't she as good as that woman?" ”
How good is a well-informed girl like Shuyi, although it is said that she is not as beautiful as Ren Qiao'an, but in the future, Zhou Chu will definitely come first, isn't what a man wants in his life is a comfortable family, and an obedient wife?
When the time comes, if the forces of the Zhang family are merged, won't it be beneficial and harmless?
She really couldn't figure it out, that girl didn't have any respect for her elders in her eyes, what did Zhou Chu like about her?
Zhang Shuyi didn't blame Zhou Chu for not attending the engagement ceremony, Luo Chen was more satisfied with Zhang Shuyi in his heart, but he was even more dissatisfied with Ren Qiaoan.
She put down her pride of being an elder and went to Ren Qiao'an, and even proposed a complete countermeasure to let her leave Zhou Chu temporarily, but she was unwilling, which is enough to show that Ren Qiao'an is selfish and short-sighted, and she doesn't have her son in her heart at all.
After that, even if Zhou Chu survived the great difficulty of being the heir, she would not agree to this Ren Qiaoan and Zhou Chu to deal with each other again.
"That Ren Qiao'an, not only is her family background a lot worse than Shuyi, but her tutor has no courtesy to her elders at all, you really shouldn't have hurt Shuyi's face for her." Luo Chenxiaozhi was moved and polite, and said: "Since Tongtong wants you to take her shopping, you will take the opportunity to call Shuyi out, and the two of them will go shopping together." ”
This is an excuse for the two of them to get along more, and it can also let Tongtong know who is her aunt and forget about Ren Qiao'an's woman as soon as possible.
However, Luo Chen's wishful thinking played well, but she underestimated Zhou Yitong's memory, she hugged Zhou Chu's arm and cried very sadly at Zhou Chu: "Uncle, I don't want to go shopping with that Aunt Zhang, she bullied me, she asked me and my mother to get out of Zhou's house, she said I was a waste, saying that my mother was a broken shoe that no one wanted, occupying the rice noodles of the Zhou family, which was useless." ”
She still remembers when she was with Aunt Zhang before, Aunt Zhang scolded her, although she didn't understand what "broken shoes that no one wanted" meant, but she knew that it must be scolding.
Aunt Zhang scolded her mother, she didn't like this aunt.
"Uncle, I want my aunt, only my aunt is good to me, my aunt tied my hair, my aunt asked me to be a good child, saying that my mother is very difficult to work alone, so I don't want to make my mother angry." She actually doesn't understand, her family is very rich, and her mother is in difficulty, but she knows that this is a good word.
Luo Chen still has a little patience now, and coaxed Zhou Yitong: "Tongtong is obedient, Aunt Zhang will also be your aunt in the future, she will also be good to you in the future, and she and Auntie will definitely not break their promises." ”
Zhang Shuyi's insult to Zhou Yitong back then has always been the fatal reason for Zhou Chu's veto of her, and now Zhang Shuyi assured her that she would be good to Tongtong in the future, and there is no need for Tongtong to have such a deep prejudice against Zhang Shuyi.
"So Tongtong, don't be willful, you have to get along with Aunt Zhang in the future, so that she can get along with you well." Luo Chen is still talking about her crooked reasoning, she believes that as long as Zhou Chu goes back to inherit the family business, Zhang Shuyi will have no reason to reject Zhou Qing and Zhou Yitong again.
Speaking of this, Zhou Qingcai, who was affected at the dinner table, raised his head for the first time, looked at his parents, and asked, "Dad, Mom, when do you want me to go through the resignation procedures?" ”
"What trouble are you looking for? Who got you out of town? Luo Chen felt that Zhou Qing was looking for trouble: "Look at your brother's current situation, isn't the family chaotic enough now?!" If you don't persuade him to be obedient and reconcile with Shuyi, you still want to add fuel to the fire here?! ”
None of these two children had any worries, and Luo Chen was angry: "You sisters and brothers, can you let me live a comfortable life for two days, do you see that I live too easily, and you want me to die early?!" ”
The bastard had already come to the door, and the two of them were still here without knowing how to make progress.
Without the support of the Zhang family, how could Zhou Chu repel that illegitimate child?!
