Depressed wife runs with the ball

After hanging up the phone, she patted her chest, still in shock. "That was so scary! Why were you yelling so loudly?" Zhou Xingzhi peeled an egg for her and placed it in her bowl. "I think you've been too tired lately. How about hiring a caregiver for the teacher? They can provide more professional care."

"Yes, but the teacher isn't used to being looked after, so Yu En goes to watch over her every night. Since your flight is at five o'clock, go back to your room and work after breakfast. I'll take you out for dinner this afternoon and then take you to the airport."

"I'm not going. I'll go with you to the hospital and sit in the inpatient lobby to work." Zhou Xingzhi felt that she was still angry about what happened last night. If he left her alone here, she would probably start to have all kinds of thoughts.

......

With so much to do at the end of the year, Zhou Xingzhi postponed all of this week's meetings until next week. Several board members, already dissatisfied with him, felt marginalized by him and, taking advantage of the year's end, complained to Mr. Zhou.

How could Zhou Kecheng not understand these people's intentions? Two of them came with their daughters. The deputy mayor also came with his daughter. His daughter looked very well-behaved.

The eldest son is not doing well, and the youngest son is like his mother, obsessed with love. If Chu Yue really marries into the family, it is hard to say whether Xinghui will be named Zhou in the future. He sent these people away one after another and complained to his wife: "Your precious son is so careless when it comes to love. How can I trust him to run the group?"

For years, the old man hadn't let go of the group. He'd say it was going to be handed over to his youngest son, but in reality, he was looking for someone to back him up. If he did take over the group, and the eldest son was hiding behind the group and causing trouble, he'd have the youngest to clean up the mess.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with Xiaoyue. You should be thankful that he is willing to have a girlfriend!" Li Li has heard him say this countless times over the years, and her ears are callused from it.

Although she hadn't liked this girl before because of the change in styling team, she also didn't like the ones she saw today. They all pretended to be well-behaved and smart, but in fact, their thoughts were almost written on their faces.

"Humph, his girlfriend dares to get involved in the company before they even get married. If they really get married, your son will be sold out and he'll help them count the money!" Zhou Kecheng knew that women only have women's opinions!

"Xingzhi isn't stupid. What does Xiaoyue want from him? In your heart, everyone wants your Zhou family's money."

Zhou Kecheng sighed, did not refute, and went upstairs with a cane to practice calligraphy.

The teacher's condition was better today than yesterday. Chu Yue stayed at the hospital during the day, allowing Yu En to go home and rest. Zhou Xingzhi worked on his computer in the ward, his phone on silent mode, and answered calls in the corridor outside.

Chu Yue accompanied the teacher to talk, fed her, and pushed her outside for a walk in the afternoon. "Yueyue, is your senior brother Ji Yan in trouble?"

"No, he changed his girlfriend recently." Chu Yue pushed the teacher downstairs to the hospital building and peeled oranges for her.

"Are you and Mr. Zhou planning to get married?"

"No, I'll take you over when we get married."

"Teacher, I may not be able to see it."

"What nonsense are you talking about? We will all live to be a hundred years old."

"Yueyue, you have to remember that you can't rely on others. You can only live well by relying on yourself."

Chu Yue squatted in front of her and fed her oranges. She looked at her teacher with admiration. "Teacher, you should live well too, okay? I will come to see you often."

"Okay, for Yueyue's sake, Teacher, please live well."

Li Wanyun was so angry about the phone call that morning that she immediately booked a ticket back home. She wouldn't go to work, just to see what Zhou Xingzhi could do to her.

After handing over her shift to Yu En that evening, Chu Yue and Zhou Xingzhi went back to school for dinner. She had specifically consulted the attending physician about her teacher's illness, and the doctor said that optimistically, he would have three to five years to recover.

The two of them walked around the campus, and Chu Yue was in a low mood. She even thought about going to Beijing to work so that she could visit her teacher every day, but Zhou Xingzhi would definitely not agree.

"After this chemotherapy, will I be discharged from the hospital tomorrow? " Zhou Xingzhi didn't know much about this, but today he listened to the doctor's explanation of his condition.

"No, it depends on the situation later." Chu Yue came out of the hospital in a bad mood and ate little dinner. He still had to deal with emails in the OA when he went home in the evening. There were probably many plans and notification documents submitted by many departments.

"Honey! Are you going back to the hotel to work overtime tonight? Can you help me deal with the documents in the OA? I'm so tired." She discussed with him in a coquettish manner.

Zhou Xingzhi hadn't heard her call him that in a long time. His schedule and work had become a bit chaotic and messy because of her recent leave. "Why are you getting tired so easily lately? Let me see if you're sick."

He reached out and touched her forehead. Her face was colder than his hand. "Is it too windy? Why don't we go back to the hotel?"

"Ah."

They took a taxi back to the hotel. Chu Yue leaned on him and fell asleep, complaining of back pain. Zhou Xingzhi helped her massage her waist.

"Is it too tiring to take care of the teacher?"

"No, I'm so squeamish only because you're here."

"If I'm not here, what will happen to the work you've missed?"

"If you're not here, I'll do it myself."

"Then it seems I have to pamper you even more in the future." Zhou Xingzhi held her waist and pressed hard again.

"Hey! Not here." Chu Yue felt a little itchy and took his hand away from her waist.

Back at the hotel, Chu Yue lay in a chair, refusing to move, and asked lazily, "If I said that to Director Li this morning, will she be unhappy and quit?"

"What does her happiness have to do with me? What matters is whether my wife is happy or not." Zhou Xingzhi turned on the computer and prepared to log in to OA to help her deal with those emails.

Chu Yue was about to take a shower with her bathrobe in hand. When she passed by him, she felt that he was more serious than ever before. She couldn't help but put her arms around his neck and kissed him on the face.

"Wait until I finish work before making trouble."

Zhou Xingzhi wanted to finish his work quickly to relieve her mood today. After her kiss, he felt a little distracted.

"You're usually so cold and collected at work, why are you so serious this time?"

"How can I be cold? If you keep holding me like this, I'll only get hotter." Zhou Xingzhi was no longer in the mood to work and looked at his wife ambiguously.

"Ahem, let's go to work! I'm going to take a shower." Chu Yue quickly let go of him and slipped away to take a shower.

The next day, after the teacher was discharged from the hospital, Yu En and her husband invited Chu Yue and Zhou Xingzhi to have a simple meal outside, and then the two of them went to the airport to return to Qiancheng.

As soon as he got off the plane, Zhou Kecheng called him, angrily scolding him for his lack of ambition. "You're in your 30s, can you just throw your job away like that? You're dating a girlfriend, and you don't even know her last name?"

"Dad, I know what I'm doing."

"I think you've lost your mind! Go home and give me an explanation!" The old man angrily hung up the phone. Li Wanyun poured him some tea and said, "Don't be angry, Mr. Zhou. Maybe it's really a matter of life and death."

"What's the matter that requires him to come here in person? Isn't the group's business a big deal? The older he gets, the more willful he becomes. How is your father's health recently? Why don't you ask them to come together?" The old man took a look at the tea handed to him by the girl. The tea soup was rich in color, and it was clear that she was not a good tea brewer.

"Thanks to Mr. Zhou, he is retired and at home. I originally planned to invite them over, but I haven't settled down here yet. I am still staying in a hotel myself, so it would be inconvenient to ask them to come and stay in a hotel too." Li Wanyun said thoughtfully.

"Oh, didn't Xingzhi arrange a place for you to stay? That's too rude. I'll ask him to arrange one for you when he comes back." Li Li felt a little sympathy for her when she heard her so embarrassed.

"No need to trouble him." Li Wanyun was secretly happy to see that her goal was achieved, but she still looked humble on the surface.

Li Li couldn't say she liked this girl, nor did she dislike her. If she had to compare her with Chu Yue, she would still get along better with Chu Yue. "It's not a big deal. He asked you to come back, so he has to take responsibility for you."

Li Wanyun couldn't help laughing when these words came out. Talking about their time in college, Li Li and Zhou Kecheng still didn't know that this Wanyun was a lie Zhou Xingzhi had told them about. They just thought the two of them had really dated and parted ways amicably.
