41.

They are far away, and they are all people who don't talk much, and there are many, many fewer contacts than before.

Most of the time, it was Lou Ruan who took the initiative to speak.

Send him some new paintings to see, pat the food in the study cafeteria, cats, trees, flowers in the academy, clouds in the sky, and some funny jokes on Weibo and Douyin.

Occasionally, I will talk about another person:

[Xie Yanli also came to Huaqing, he is still as popular in Huaqing, and there is no one in the school who doesn't know him now]

Seeing such news, Zhou Yuetian generally does not reply.

Lou Ruan said that he didn't reply when he saw him twice, so he didn't mention it again.

42.

In his senior year, Zhou Yuetian went to Zhou's and began an internship.

Shao Zheng's family already has a suitable heir, does he have any thoughts about fighting for property, he just wants to lie down, and he is not looking for an internship or anything.

Zhou Yuetian asked Cheng Lei first, and after helping Cheng Lei get inducted, he asked Lou Ruan.

[Did you find an internship?] 】

Lou Ruan replied quickly: [I found it, I found a lot of galleries in the art district, and I am still choosing]

Zhou Yuetian sat in front of Zhou's bright huge floor-to-ceiling window and typed word by word: [Cheng Lei is here in Zhou's, do you want to come]

A day later, Lou Ruan successfully joined the Zhou family.

43.

At work, Lou Ruan and Cheng Lei don't seem to get along, and they always quarrel.

Zhou Yuetian never cared, and never stood aside, just watched them quarrel until they graduated from college, and the three of them officially joined Zhou.

Lou Ruan was put to his side as a secretary, and Cheng Lei went to the marketing department.

There are many people in the president's office and the company's senior management who have great opinions about Lou Ruan, and they feel that it is unreasonable for the undergraduate art college to be the president's secretary.

At the meeting, a high-level official even openly mentioned this matter.

Zhou Yuetian didn't say anything.

44.

Half a month later, the company received a real-name report on the sexual harassment of the senior in the workplace, and it has been a hot search.

Zhou Yuetian took the printed document and went home.

He respectfully put the document in front of Zhou's father, "Dad, he is the old man of the company, I really don't know how to deal with it." ”

A few days later, the high-ranking person completely disappeared from the Zhou family.

36.

One night, Zhou Yuetian went home.

The woman who was supposed to have slept sat in the living room, staring blankly at the TV screen, and only raised her eyes when he returned.

"Xiao Tian, mom has something to ask you."

Zhou Yuetian's movements paused.

He glanced at the empty living room and walked in.

The woman's makeup is exquisite, but it can't hide the traces of time.

She looks much older and haggard than before, I don't know if it's because Zhou's father hasn't been home recently.

"Lei Guoxia's business, it's you, isn't it?"

Lei Guoxia is the high-level who is dissatisfied with Lou Ruan as the president's secretary.

Zhou Yuetian looked at her fixedly, and suddenly laughed, "Mom, what are you talking about, he was reported." ”

"I know you want to leave that girl in the company," the woman said as she looked at him, "and such a person should indeed leave the company, but ......"

Zhou Yuetian waited quietly for her next sentence.

She looked at him and said, "Do you know that if you are in the Zhou family now, it doesn't mean that your father has recognized you, and the Zhou family is already yours?" ”

Of course Zhou Yuetian knows.

Of course, he knew that Father Zhou had not fully trusted him, and the Zhou family was not his.

But it's already slowly becoming his.

"If you want to completely take down the Zhou family, you have to fight with Zhou Qingli and them, there is only one way, marriage."

"I don't need to." Zhou Yuetian said without thinking about it.

Mother Zhou stood up suddenly, her expression suddenly changed, "Xiao Tian, do you know what you have worked hard for so many years?" The last step is that we can't afford to fall short. ”

"You got married first, and after you got married, you will be like your father, whatever you want......"

"Mom!" Zhou Yuetian's face changed, and he suddenly interrupted her, he raised his eyes to look at her, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

Zhou's mother's eyes were red, she paused, and said, "Then you can divorce again after getting married, you can always divorce when the time comes, right?" ”

45.

Zhou's mother still arranged a blind date for Zhou Yuetian.

Zhou Yuetian didn't go.

Since then, every time he comes home, he will face a tearful mother.

Sometimes she would shout, sometimes she would cry all the time, and her skin that she had been regularly cared for would have more blood-red scars.

Zhou Yuetian took the person to the hospital.

She was sick.

You need to take medicine all the time, and you need someone to accompany you.

But in this family, neither her husband nor her son can accompany her all the time.

46.

Zhou Yuetian still went to the blind date arranged by Zhou's mother.

I also often visit her in the hospital.

When she was sober, she would always tell him about marriage repeatedly.

When I'm not sober, I always cry and talk about the past.

said that she used to run out of the house to study by herself, and went to work when she had no money, but later met his father, who was very good to her.

When she drove a very expensive car to see her grandmother in her hometown, the director of the county hospital was respectful to him.

After marrying him, no one in the family looked down on her, and no one said that it was useless for her to run out to study.

Zhou Yuetian handed her the peeled boiled egg, looked at her and said while shedding tears:

"Dad, is this really for me to eat, don't you need to eat Jiabao?"

47.

Zhou Yuetian closed his eyes and got up to leave.

Since then, he would often come to the hospital to see her.

When she wasn't awake, she peeled boiled eggs.

When he was sober, he told her which daughter he met, what they talked about during dinner, what kind of person the other party was, how the company was, and Father Zhou praised him recently......

He thought that as long as she was well treated, accompanied well, and followed her all the time, the woman's state would get better and better, but her state not only did not get better and better, but got worse and worse.

The attending doctor told him that the woman's illness had been going on for many years.

She has been sick for a long time.

I don't know how long it will last.

Zhou Yuetian sat in the corridor of the hospital, listening to the TV in the ward, lowered his head for the first time, and cried silently.

I don't know how long I cried, but Lou Ruan called.

On the other end of the phone, she didn't know what was good, she sounded very happy, "Mr. Zhou, what time will you come back in the afternoon?" ”

Zhou Yuetian held his mobile phone and paused quietly for a few seconds before saying, "Mr. Zhou? ”

He wasn't very comfortable with the title.

There was a slight sound over there, and after a while, he heard her low voice, "Chairman Zhou is here, I have read the financial report, and I am praising you!" ”

"Where are you, he asked me to ask when you'll be back."

Zhou Yue Tian paused there, listening to the shallow breathing sound on the other end of the phone, and said in a very soft voice, "Lou Ruan." ”

The voice over there was a smile, sweet and sweet, "Huh? ”

She was glad that he was praised.

She's happy for him.

Zhou Yuetian stood up and looked back at the people in the ward, "I'll go back now." ”
