Rescue the hero who was imprisoned by the cannon fodder sister
Chapter 37 The Bai Family's Routine
"Is the illness serious?" Although Zhou Niantang didn't have a good impression of Zhou Yunqi's mother, Ms. Bai Zhi, she was Zhou Yunqi's grandfather after all, so verbal concern was still necessary.
Zhou Yunqi's eyes flickered when she heard this, as if she was enduring something. "Fortunately, it shouldn't be serious."
Afterwards, Zhou Yunqi found another topic to talk about and no longer mentioned the Bai family in front of Zhou Niantang.
Not long after, Zhou Tonglin came out of the study, walked to the middle of the stairs, and called Zhou Yunqi over.
Zhou Niantang sighed inwardly, thinking that there were only three people in his family, two of whom were workaholics, and he seemed to be the most lazy.
Fortunately, I am still young, otherwise I would seem like a parasite.
Zhou Yunqi followed her father into the study.
She and Zhou Tonglin have not been close since childhood.
Zhou Tonglin and Bai Zhi were a business marriage when they were young, but after they got married, they became a pair of resentful couples, quarreling all the time.
Later, when Zhou Yunqi was five years old, the two finally divorced. During the divorce, they had a big fight over the division of property.
Less than half a year later, Zhou Tonglin married Zhou Niantang's mother, Lin Shitang.
At that time, she hated it. She heard from the servants at home that Zhou Tonglin had been with Lin Shitang when he was in college, and later married her mother only because of pressure from the family.
She had just experienced a major family change as her parents divorced, and because she was still young, she was instigated by others and did not respect Lin Shitang, who had just married into the family.
Later, due to health reasons, Lin Shitang gave birth to Zhou Niantang prematurely and passed away shortly afterwards.
She had even secretly rejoiced, thinking that this would give her parents a chance to reconcile.
But at such a young age, she saw with her own eyes Zhou Tonglin crying like a child in front of Lin Shitang's coffin, and promised that he would never marry again in this life.
Later, he named Lin Shitang's daughter Niantang.
She watched Zhou Tonglin give all his love to Zhou Niantang, personally changing her diapers, coaxing her to sleep, and feeding her, until the company could no longer withstand the crisis, and then he actually returned to the company to work.
So she hated them at that time, hated this mother and daughter for taking away her originally complete family.
The woman died, and her daughter continued to monopolize the father's love that belonged to her.
Since she was a child, she felt that Zhou Tonglin was partial to her. The better Zhou Tonglin treated Zhou Niantang, the more annoyed she became with this sister.
It was not until the year Zhou Tonglin passed away that she realized that Zhou Tonglin's love and care for her was no less than Zhou Niantang's.
When she turned 18, Zhou Tonglin had already made a will, leaving the best to her.
Recalling the past, Zhou Yunqi always exudes a sense of sadness, which confuses Zhou Tonglin.
It is obvious that my eldest daughter has had a smooth life since she was a child and is in good health, unlike my younger daughter who has been sick frequently since she was a child.
But in recent years, he often felt the helplessness and sadness from his eldest daughter.
Zhou Tonglin entered the study, sat down on a chair, and said unhappily, "You still decided to go on this trip."
"Yes." Zhou Yunqi didn't sit down, but answered while standing.
"I said so much to you this afternoon, but you still didn't listen to a word!" Zhou Tonglin's tone began to become agitated.
Zhou Yunqi lived a lifetime again, and didn’t want to make Zhou Tonglin angry because of this kind of thing, so she explained: “I’m not sure if grandpa is really sick, so it’s better to go and see him.”
If Bai Zhi had used any other reason, Zhou Yunqi could have refused, but when it came to her grandfather, the old man who was always so kind to her, Zhou Yunqi couldn't bear not to go and see him.
Zhou Tonglin and Bai Zhi have known each other for most of their lives and have been husband and wife for several years, so he has long understood her tricks thoroughly.
It's simply that the Bai family's business is in big trouble now, and her loser brother can't handle it. The Bai family is leaderless, and they know that their daughter is capable, so they trick her back to work as free labor.
However, he also understood the friendship between his eldest daughter and her grandfather, but he was worried that she was too young and might be tricked by that group of people if she went there.
As early as when they divorced, he had witnessed the Bai family's character of caring only about money and not about people.
Knowing that Zhou Yunqi was also stubborn, Zhou Tonglin thought for a while and decided to let her go. It was a good opportunity to let her suffer a loss so that she would not fall into this trap in the future.
He sighed and made his request: "You can go, I'll find two people for you to take with you."
Zhou Yunqi knew that Zhou Tonglin had given in and brought people with him for her own good. In fact, she had seen her mother's methods in her previous life, so she did not refuse Zhou Tonglin's request.
"it is good."
The father and daughter reached an agreement. Zhou Tonglin remembered the figure he saw at night and reminded Zhou Yunqi.
"The child you brought back is almost eighteen, right?"
"Yes." Zhou Yunqi's expression did not look good when Pei Shi was mentioned.
"At eighteen, he is an adult. We can't let him do nothing all day. What are you going to do?"
Zhou Tonglin did not agree with Zhou Yunqi bringing such a person home at first. He thought that it was because his daughter had not been close to her sister since childhood and found a playmate for herself.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yunqi didn't treat this child very well, but he had rarely accompanied his daughter since she was young, so he just let her go. As long as she didn't do anything illegal, he wouldn't interfere.
Seeing that Zhou Yunqi didn't say anything, Zhou Tonglin continued: "The family has been raising him for so long, why not find him a low-level position for him to try to do it, and then I can give it to you..."
"No need, Dad. I have my own arrangements." Zhou Tonglin was interrupted halfway through his speech.
"Okay." Zhou Tonglin didn't say any more about this matter, as his daughter was a person with her own ideas, otherwise she wouldn't have developed the company so well in just a few years.
"You have another day of flying tomorrow, go get some rest first and don't stay up too late."
Seeing Zhou Tonglin picking up a document on the table, Zhou Yunqi, who was originally cold-tempered, thought for a moment and said, "You should go to bed early too. Good night."
"it is good."
Early the next morning, Zhou Yunqi went to the airport.
Although Zhou Niantang was reluctant to leave her sister, she was a little happy when she thought that during the time when Zhou Yunqi was away, she could get closer to Yun Zhi without having to hide it.
She was not sure whether Zhou Yunqi and Yun Zhi had any interactions in their previous life, but after all, she was the heroine, so she should know each other to some extent.
It's better to be careful.
Near noon, she called her high school deskmate, Liu Xiaoyun.
"Xiao Yunyun, how about the favor I asked you to do yesterday?"
Liu Xiaoyun yawned and said, "My dad said it's OK, but the expert has gone abroad and won't be back for a while."
After receiving a positive reply, Zhou Niantang felt that it would be fine to go a few days later, "That's fine, I'll treat you to a meal when school starts."
"Why can't you invite me now? You're not in City A?"
"Yes." Zhou Niantang said, "But I'm busy with something important recently."
"What's the big deal?" Liu Xiaoyun felt that as a rich second-generation, Zhou Niantang had always been living a life of idleness and waiting for death just like herself, so how could something big happen to her?
"It's a matter of whether I can live a life of idleness and wait for death!"
