Was Aquaman’s ex-husband cremated today?
Chapter 60 Maybe You Will Become My Sister-in-law
When Li Qingwen was in college, her financial situation was poor, she dressed simply, and her meals were simple. Everyone knew that her family was in financial difficulty.
As a member of the same club as her, Zhou Xixiang had a lot of contact with her and was aware of her difficult financial situation. So when he learned that his brother's tutor had left again, he extended an olive branch to Li Qingwen.
At that time, Li Qingwen was struggling to make money from her job at the milk tea shop and wanted to find a part-time job as a tutor or salesperson. She took the number Zhou Xixiang gave her and called Luo Zijin.
It was still summer when Li Qingwen first met Luo Zijin. She was only wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans. She looked clean and neat, like a beautiful girl from a small family.
She didn't expect that Zhou Xixiang recommended a wealthy family to her.
As soon as they met, the hostess asked her about her family background, educational background, and work plans after graduation.
She had no experience and thought that the more detailed and sincere the information she gave to tutors, the more trust they would have and the more they would be willing to hand their children over to her for tutoring.
Looking back later, I felt that Luo Zijin was very careful in considering the tutoring work. It was clearly the protection that a wealthy mother had for her children and the caution she had towards the people her children would come into contact with.
A week later, she was officially notified to go and tutor Zhou Yongan, and was also told some "rules". For example, during the tutoring sessions with Zhou Yongan, there would always be a recorder in the room to record their conversations.
It's no different than being watched.
Such a high-pressure and strict teaching environment made Li Qingwen feel a little uncomfortable, but the reason why he was able to persist was very simple.
Luo Zijin charges a very high tuition fee.
Of course there is another reason. This tutor was introduced by Zhou Xixiang, and she trusts Zhou Xixiang.
At that time, she didn't know what the relationship between Zhou Xixiang and Zhou Yongan was until one weekend morning, when it was the first time she stayed overnight at Zhou's house because she taught too late.
Zhou Xixiang was standing in the yard, holding a cup of coffee. Luo Zijin called him, "Go wake up Yongan. He's addicted to staying in bed every day and doesn't even eat breakfast."
Zhou Xixiang: "What did you do last night?"
Luo Zijin: "Study, learn until ten points."
Luo Zijin couldn't believe what he said, and smiled, "He has been studying very hard recently. He likes his current tutor very much and is very enthusiastic about learning. The math teacher sent me a message a few days ago saying that he saw the changes in Yongan."
Zhou Xixiang smiled.
Luo Zijin said: "The teacher is from your school, his name is Li Qingwen, do you know him?"
Zhou Xixiang nodded calmly: "I recommended her."
Luo Zijin paused for a moment after hearing this: "Really? Why didn't you tell me? I spent some time investigating and found out that she didn't lie. The only thing she missed was one thing... She said that both her parents were alive, but the police station told me that her mother had passed away a few years ago."
The moment he knew about Zhou Xixiang's relationship with the Zhou family, Li Qingwen felt a complicated feeling in his heart, as if he had become very distant from him in that instant.
One world became two worlds.
Zhou Yongan stood beside Li Qingwen and explained his behavior in a relaxed manner: "I happened to be eating next door, and just now I saw Teacher Li outside, so I came in to say hello."
The Teacher Li he was referring to was naturally Li Qingwen.
However, as the vice president of Huayu, he did not greet the president of Huayu when he came in, but greeted Huayu's HR. This mysterious operation made many people present unable to understand.
A classmate who had studied the nude chat news looked back and forth between Zhou Yongan and Zhou Xixiang, and couldn't help but ask quietly: "Excuse me, are you and Xixiang brothers?"
Once the question was raised, others began to look at Zhou Xixiang and Zhou Yongan. One of them was steady and serious, while the other was casual and unrestrained, but both of them exuded charming charm.
Zhou Yongan did not deny it, and responded positively and enthusiastically: "Yes, you have read a lot of gossip. What were you talking about just now? I seemed to hear that Teacher Li and my eldest brother were talking about it."
He acted in a casual and natural manner, and no one felt that his words were sarcastic.
After knowing his identity, everyone felt like they were all family, so they continued what they were talking about. Someone said, "We are talking about why Qingwen is still single. Is it because people nowadays are too busy to date, or is it because Qingwen already has someone in his heart?"
The classmate sitting next to Li Qingwen tactfully found a stool for Zhou Yongan and left a seat empty just for him.
Zhou Yongan sat down unceremoniously, staring at Li Qingwen's pale face with cold eyes, and said, "Teacher Li is so innocent, how can she stand everyone's teasing. But I know why she is single."
Hearing him keep people in suspense, everyone's eyes became more curious.
Li Qingwen endured it again and again, and finally said at this moment: "Just say hello and get out."
Zhou Yongan smiled frivolously, his eyes moved from Li Qingwen's stiff face to the table, and then he said irresponsibly: "She does have a crush on my eldest brother."
Li Qingwen stood up the moment he finished speaking, his face flushed red, perhaps with shame or anger.
"Don't talk nonsense," she said.
Zhou Yongan did not look at her expression, nor did he raise his eyes to see Zhou Xixiang's complicated expression for a moment.
He continued, "As you can see, my eldest brother is not only handsome and elegant, but also intelligent. He is the type that many girls like. He already had outstanding talents when he was young, and now he is in a high position. Girls who like him can easily feel inferior. But... Teacher Li is just such a coward."
Li Qingwen: "Have you finished speaking?"
Hearing the cold tone and stiff face, everyone realized that Li Qingwen was angry.
However, Zhou Yongan looked like he didn't understand the ways of the world. He laughed and continued to boast: "In fact, if you were more proactive, you might become my sister-in-law."
With a "splash", the red wine splashed all over Zhou Yongan's face.
Everyone at the table was shocked. They didn't expect that Li Qingwen, who was always gentle and calm, would do such a thing.
The classmate who had teased her just now was feeling horrified and heavy-hearted at the moment. Fortunately, Li Qingwen did not attack her.
The enthusiastic classmate immediately opened an unused wet towel and handed it over.
Zhou Yongan took it and wiped his face. The red wine stains fell on his white shirt and spread out. There was no way to clean it up.
He stood up, pulled out the stool and took a step back.
He put away his friendly expression, his eyes became stern and cold, and he looked at Li Qingwen and said, "I can only help Teacher Li up to this point."
Zhou Yongan walked away with one hand in his pocket. As he walked out, he stared at his elder brother Zhou Xixiang, who had his head covered and ignored him.
Zhou Xixiang's cup had been filled with strong liquor instead of water at some point. He lowered his eyes and drank quietly.
