Depressed wife runs with the ball

Mo Xiaoxiao was so busy that she didn't have time to adapt. She was traveling all over the place and accompanying artists on promotions. Her mood also improved a lot. Xinghan's performance was climbing steadily, and the old man also looked at her differently.

The days seem to be as fulfilling as they were during training.

Huang Yunfu's trial was already in mid-October, and Chu Yue didn't even attend. She was accompanying Zhou Xingzhi on a business trip abroad, and she had specifically arranged this time with the head of the branch's administrative department.

The lawyer handling Huang Yunfu's case was sorting through documents before the trial and jokingly told his colleagues, "Oh, it's so unlucky to have such a daughter. She didn't even bother to go and see her mother in court."

The trainee lawyer said, "I noticed she asked very detailed questions throughout the process, and she also did some research on sentencing."

"Who knows if it's just for show? The girlfriend of the Starlight Group's president has a mother in jail. How ugly it would be if it got out?" After sorting out all the information, he put it upright on the table, shook it twice, and went out with his bag.

The trainee lawyer quickly caught up and leaned in to ask, "Master, if this gets out online, wouldn't it be a big deal if someone accused the mother of a rising artist of tax evasion?"

"What are you thinking? Do you think no one tried to uncover this woman's identity when President Zhou announced her at the art festival? Within two days, all the online comments were deleted. Do you really think Xinghui is easy to mess with?"

Su Ying had heard a lot of rumors about Chu Yue at the bar, but since both owners were away, she couldn't speak out. There were all sorts of nasty things going on, like a whore putting up a memorial arch, selling her art and her body.

Some even said Zhou Xingzhi didn't like women at all, and was just using a pretty, educated woman to cover up his mistake. A group of people gathered in a booth not far from the bar, and the man in the middle of the group cited numerous examples. He told of a story about a daughter whose father had arranged for her to intern at the Xinghui secretariat, only to be sent home within two months because, while handing Zhou Xingzhi a document, her hair brushed against his face and her hand touched his shirt.

A group of men, with an expression that said "I understand," started to talk about Chu Yue again. "If that's the case, then isn't it a pity for his girlfriend?"

"No, how is it possible? Zhou Xingzhi doesn't like women? They even kissed each other in public? Where did you hear this?" Someone in the crowd questioned.

"My brother is the R&D manager of Star Shine's technical department. He said Zhou Xingzhi has never been interested in women. Moreover, you see, his brother had a lot of gossips after he got married, but does Zhou Xingzhi have any? Apart from this girlfriend, I haven't seen any scandals about him." The person sitting in the middle gave more examples to convince others.

The group of people sitting around also began to think seriously.

Su Ying was waiting at the bar for them to continue. Su Weikai threw a stack of tissues in front of her and said, "Are there any special drinks tonight?"

"You haven't paid the bill for last night yet." She didn't even look at him, craning her neck to listen to what the people in the booth were saying. Su Weikai followed her gaze and teased, "Hey, who are you interested in? I'll get their contact information for you."

"Get lost! Hey, don't you know Zhou Xingzhi? Come on, tell me, he's not really gay, is he?" She beckoned at Su Weikai at the bar, asking with a gossipy look on her face.

"Give me a glass of whiskey. Um, didn't Chu Yue tell you that?" Su Weikai took out his mobile phone and scanned the code to pay.

"Really?" Su Ying was shocked. She thought it was just some random gossip, but she never thought it was true.

Su Weikai took a sip of wine slowly and pressed his index finger against his temple. "What are you thinking about? You've read too many BL comics!"

"Tsk, no! That guy at that table, did you see that? He said Zhou Xingzhi wasn't interested in women, and he also said that once a woman brushed against his face with her hair or her hand, and he kicked her out. He made it sound like he saw it happen."

"Who is it? What did you say? Let me hear it." He had heard a lot of rumors about whether Zhou Xingzhi was gay. Since the person involved didn't care, he just listened to them for fun.

"It is said that a woman, when handing him a document, her hair touched his face and her hand touched his hand, so he fired the person. Hey, tell me first, is it true or false?" Su Ying was worried about Chu Yue.

"Of course it's fake! He just doesn't like physical contact with strangers." If this guy is really gay, then Chu Yue's boyfriend would be me, right?

Su Ying was half-believing and half-doubting: "Then tell me, is it possible that it's a double?"

"Are you sick? Where is Lao Ji? Why haven't I seen him come recently?" Su Weikai found that this little girl had a lot of weird ideas in her mind.

"Dead." Su Ying said unhappily. Ji Yan went out to hide away for several months and didn't care about anything.

Huang Yunfu's case was sentenced in court, resulting in a three-and-a-half-year prison sentence. Chu Yue's lawyer sent a WeChat message, but by the time she received it, she was still jet-lagged. Zhou Xingzhi was busy in his hotel suite's study, reviewing the branch manager's project report for the day.

Three and a half years doesn't seem short. After receiving the news, I called Chu Jinyue and told him the news.

Zhou Xingzhi heard the voice in the study and walked to the door to see who she was calling. "Who are you calling?" He couldn't help but ask when he couldn't tell who the other person was.

"Jin Yue." Chu Yue answered him subconsciously.

"Who is it? It's not the guy named Zhou, right? Sister, you still have to keep a distance from him. He is a very scheming person." Chu Jinyue did not forget to dislike Zhou Xingzhi on the phone.

"When you come back, I'll go with you..." Before Chu Yue finished speaking, Zhou Xingzhi snatched the phone from her hand and said to the phone: "I'm your future brother-in-law, don't always disturb your sister."

"Mr. Zhou, you and my sister haven't married yet! Even if you do, I won't call you brother-in-law."

Chu Yue pouted. Why was he trying to snatch someone else's phone?

"Whether you call me or not, I'm still your brother-in-law." Zhou Xingzhi hung up the phone and said to Chu Yue, "Can't sleep?"

"The result of my mother's case is out. I told him, why did you steal someone's phone?" She took her phone back from him and lay back on the bed.

"Is it because you haven't adjusted to the time difference? How many years will you be sentenced to?" Zhou Xingzhi hadn't taken a shower yet, so he couldn't sit on the bed. He could only stand by the bed and touch her head.

"Three and a half years. When Jin Yue returns, my sister and I will go to Jingguan District Prison to see her together." Chu Yue thought that he was somewhat unhappy because of what he heard Jin Yue say on the phone, so he snatched the phone.

"When we return home, I will accompany you to visit the prison." They will stay in Saudi Arabia for two more days.

"Go about your work, I'm going to sleep." Chu Yue locked the screen of his phone, put it on the bedside table, and lay down to sleep.

"I'll come back after taking a shower and coax you to sleep. It'll be quick." Zhou Xingzhi tucked the quilt into her and turned to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

When he came out, she was already asleep. He sighed and lay down beside her. Looking at her phone, he fell into deep thought. Why couldn't he resist snatching her phone?

He had received a good education and had learned etiquette from a professional teacher, and had never done anything so rude and inappropriate to anyone. However, he seemed unable to control himself when it came to the person next to him, and he lost control from the beginning.

He may have gone into the sea to save people because of his duty, but guarding the hospital, thinking about him all the time, setting up a trap to meet him after returning to Qiancheng, visiting him without permission, and threatening to work by his side were all things he would not do to others.

He seemed to have an unusual desire for control and possessiveness over her, or some abnormal need for this relationship.

"Zhou Xingzhi, why are you always so busy?" Chu Yue murmured in her sleep. Zhou Xingzhi turned off the lights and lay down, hugging her and saying, "What's wrong? Didn't I spend enough time with you?"

Chu Yue seemed to have installed radar. She groped her way to rest her head in his arm, and one hand touched his other hand, gently holding it.

"Are you tired? Have a good rest." Chu Yue rubbed his arm with her head and closed her eyes. It was unclear whether she was talking in a dream or in truth.

No one had ever asked him that, not even his parents. They would only say that Xingzhi was the most worry-free child, obedient and sensible.

In the dim light, the person beside me is sleeping soundly. Perhaps, love is inherently selfish or abnormal?
