Depressed wife runs with the ball

Chapter 42 The Chu Family's Craftsmanship

Seeing her smiling happily, Zhou Xingzhi's mood also improved unconsciously.

Li Li didn't expect that her son would bring such a girl to meet his parents. She had arranged a blind date for him before, but he looked down on her and even doubted his sexual orientation. Unexpectedly, he had such high standards.

"If Xiaoyue really becomes my daughter-in-law, how handsome will my grandson be?" She was happy at the thought of her two children getting married.

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think. Even if your son wants to marry her, the girl might not agree. Xingzhi, I'm afraid he won't be worthy of that girl's attention." After the dinner, Zhou Kecheng saw it all. His son never took his eyes off her. But Chu Yue, on the other hand, was so preoccupied with talking to her teacher that she rarely even glanced at him. When she did glance at him, her expression was complicated, lacking any of the ambiguity or affection that comes with being in love.

"That's true. Although her behavior is not bad, this girl's spiritual energy is also really outstanding. To be admitted as an exception at the age of just over ten is a once-in-a-century opportunity, right?" Li Li also felt that it would be a pity if this girl got married.

Zhou Kecheng turned around and rolled his eyes at his worthless son. Chu Yue joined Xinghui as his special assistant. He must have used some tricks, otherwise this girl wouldn't have no good feelings towards him at all.

"Oh, husband, it would be great if Xiaoyue could really become my daughter-in-law." Li Li acted coquettishly to Zhou Kecheng in front of her. Her voice was a little sharp and almost everyone behind her could hear it.

Only Chu Yue didn't care at all. He was focused on talking to his teacher about the client he had met in Qucho before, the outrageous demands he made, and the creative designs he had made.

Teacher Yang asked her quietly, "What do you think of Zhou Xingzhi?"

The teacher suddenly changed the subject. Chu Yue paused, thought for a few minutes, then looked back at the person involved. Covering his mouth, he whispered to the teacher, "His nickname is Zhou Paopi. I don't have much opinion. He's just a capitalist."

Zhou Xingzhi walked quickly to his parents. His mother's words just now scared him so much that he wanted to go up and cover their mouths.

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? Yueyue and I are just ordinary superiors and subordinates." He warned the two elders carefully and nervously.

"Ah? Then you have to hurry up. Don't you know how to pursue girls? Don't you have a friend named Su Wei? I think he is quite cunning. You can ask him for advice." Li Li gave him advice.

"Hey, how can you let your son learn such cunning tricks?" Zhou Kecheng said seriously. "If you like her, just show your sincerity and don't use those shameful means."

"I..." Zhou Xingzhi looked at the two people behind him nervously. He didn't know how to chase them.

Teacher Yang patted Chu Yue's hand. Would this Zhou Xingzhi be like Shen Yaolin before, forcing her to have someone date him?

"He didn't force you to do anything, did he?"

"No." Chu Yue didn't want the teacher to worry.

"That's good."

After sending the teacher back to the hotel to rest, Chu Yue went downstairs and stood at the door of the hotel, feeling a little regretful thinking that they would not see each other again until the opening ceremony in the evening.

Zhou Xingzhi was in the car, and they were only separated for a few hours, but she was so reluctant to let him go?

The driver honked his horn, and she was startled. She came to her senses and got in the car to go back to the company.

"Is Teacher Yang so important to you?" To be honest, this kind of feeling made Zhou Xingzhi very jealous.

"Ah."

After a moment of reunion, the shock of separation becomes even more desolate.

"Zhou Xingzhi, can I beg you to let me stay with my teacher for the next few days?" She looked out the car window disappointedly, her mind still unable to divert from the separation they had just had.

"No. You will see each other again at the Youth Art Festival. Don't worry." He grabbed her hand and squeezed it, trying to reassure her.

Chu Yue thought, maybe acting a little coquettishly would make him soften his heart? After looking at him twice, she immediately backed off and couldn't act coquettishly.

"How about I give your mother a painting for free? Or that calligraphy for free?" Since she couldn't act coquettishly, she had to bribe.

"Haha, do you think I'm short of money or paintings?" He was jealous of both Ji Yan and Teacher Yang.

"In a deal, sometimes it's not about what you lack, but what I have." Chu Yue looked back out the car window. She had gotten used to having her hand held like this, and she couldn't break free anyway.

"You have more than just these." Since slow and steady progress was futile, taking it by force might be just as well. Besides, he had already been strong once.

……

"To take something by force is not what a gentleman does. Although you are not a good person, you are definitely not a villain." After spending days together, she knew that it was not blind to how good Zhou Xingzhi was to her, but she felt that it was too far-fetched to talk about love.

During a break, Teacher Yang privately explained to Xiaoyue that she loved quiet, drawing and writing in silence. Therefore, she was generally reluctant to interact with others. Furthermore, due to her parents' relationship, she felt insecure about any interpersonal relationships.

Teacher Yang could tell that she liked her as a student.

"Wow, it turns out that I'm not a villain in your eyes. That's rare." He closed his eyes and fell asleep, still holding her hand.

At the opening ceremony in the evening, Chu Yue met the rumored Zhou Jihuai and Mo Xiaoxiao. The couple looked well-matched, but they were not in harmony with each other.

Mo Xiaoxiao shook hands with her, feeling a little surprised, knowing that she was originally a designer, but now she became her brother-in-law's special assistant.

"I'm just here to make up the numbers, please don't misunderstand, Mr. Mo." Chu Yue explained.

After hearing this, the brother-in-law's expression darkened a little, but he did not make any excuses. Mo Xiaoxiao understood.

After exchanging pleasantries, the family sat in the stands. Chu Yue sat directly behind Teacher Yang. Ji Yan and Su Ying were also there, though their seats were in different sections. There were many people, and many performing stars.

She didn't care what was on the stage, but she was in a rare good mood. She would occasionally swing the clapper in her hand and even sing a few love songs with Li Li.

She sang beautifully, her quiet love songs especially beautiful. Li Li, feeling her son was getting in the way, pulled Chu Yue over to her, the two of them looking as if they had met too late.

When Teacher Yang was introduced on the stage, Chu Yue even grabbed Zhou Xingzhi's sleeve excitedly, and looked at Teacher Yang without blinking as he stood up to greet him.

Could a youth arts festival make her so happy? It seems like one should be held every year.

There were also many elderly people from the Qiancheng Art Association at the meeting. They were also judges and they warmly approached Teacher Yang.

After the opening ceremony performance, Chu Yue couldn't wait to go find the teacher to reunite. Zhou Xingzhi pulled her back and whispered to her, "The teacher has someone to arrange it. You come with us."

She immediately felt a little discouraged. Li Li said, "Let's meet at the teahouse together. It won't take more than a few minutes."

The teahouse is in the hotel where the teacher is staying. It is a castle in the air. Although people go there to drink tea and chat, they also drink some wine.

Chu Yue also had a few drinks with Mo Xiaoxiao and Li Li. After a drink, she even boldly started discussing calligraphy with Zhou Kecheng, and the teacher also joined in.

After all, she was his student, and he couldn't bear to see her being proud. As they discussed, the teacher also sided with Zhou Kecheng.

Zhou Kecheng couldn't win the argument, so he asked for pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and immediately wanted to compete with her. She waved her hand and said arrogantly, "Let's compete. I'll show you how vigorous and refreshing Duobao's calligraphy is."

Wow, this tone is really youthful and frivolous in front of your own teacher.

The old man picked up his brush and immediately wrote the words "Xinghui." Mm, neat regular script. After reading it, Chu Yue commented, "This shows Mr. Zhou's attitude towards life. Mr. Zhou was also raised this way since childhood, right? It's neat and tidy, the brush lift is natural, the stroke is steady, the turning angles are sharp, and the brushstrokes are good. It's sonorous and powerful, with a transition from light to heavy, which is a rare regular script."

Teacher Yang was sweating for her. This kid was always so disrespectful when discussing his work. It sounded like she was praising Mr. Zhou's calligraphy, but in reality, she was saying his handwriting lacked spirit and charm, that it was all copied and imitated, with no real style of her own.

Even if others couldn't hear it, I could still hear it myself. "Xiao Yue, don't talk nonsense."

"Teacher, don't worry about it. I'll do it. Let them see the craftsmanship of my old Chu family."
