Depressed wife runs with the ball

Seeing that he couldn't get his book back, Chu Yue had no choice but to lie down on his side and sleep. He reached out to turn off the bedside lamp and said slowly, "You bought it, so it's naturally up to you to give it to me. If I want to give it to you, I will do it myself."

She was still thinking about whether she should take him to meet her parents, and her mind was not on the calligraphy.

Zhou Xingzhi took off his glasses, lay down, hugged her and asked, "You said you were waiting for me to come back today. Is there something you want to tell me?"

"It's okay." Chu Yue still couldn't say it. He was too busy recently and it wouldn't be nice to be so abrupt.

Besides, she didn't want to expose her scars to others.

"Go to sleep." She didn't want to continue this topic.

"Yueyue...we..." Zhou Xingzhi felt a little unsatisfied.

"Don't move! If you move again, you'll have to sleep on the sofa!" Chu Yue warned him, not knowing where he got so much energy.

"No! I'm thinking about moving? My place is closer to the company, and Auntie Tian can cook for you every day without having to bring it back and forth." Since she can't get the password to the door, let her choose one of the two.

"No!" Chu Yue simply went to sleep, not wanting to fall into his trap again.

Since this wasn't working, we could think of another way later. "Did you... go see Ji Yan today?" He seemed to be still drunk, feeling depressed.

"Zhou Xingzhi!"

Could it be that he was really keeping me by his side? He would be unhappy if I went out to see anyone.

"Okay, no more talking, let's go to sleep." He pulled her over and covered her with his body, saying, "To make you happy." Chu Yue had no power to fight back.

Finally getting the coffee she'd been craving that morning, Zhou Xingzhi discovered that she loved tea and coffee, but not water. "You promised me the tea, but you never did," he said resentfully while eating breakfast.

Tea? I asked someone to return it myself, and now you say you didn’t receive it? "You asked Secretary Jiang to return the tea to Ji Yan, and now you say you didn’t send it?" Why didn’t she realize before that this person was so arrogant?

"That was given by Ji Yan, not you." He didn't even raise his head, just ate the sandwich on the plate sullenly.

Chu Yue: “…”

Before leaving, Zhou Xingzhi was still wearing his home clothes. He had nothing suitable to wear today, so he simply put on his woolen coat from last night. "Are you really not cold?" Chu Yue was worried. There were many things to deal with at the end of the year. If he, the president, had a headache or a fever, the people in the departments below would probably trample over Secretary Jiang and her, the special assistant.

"It's cold." Zhou Xingzhi took the opportunity to hug her and wrap her in his wool coat. "You won't be cold this way."

He seems to be particularly clingy lately. "I need to drive, stop making trouble." Chu Yue was still holding the trash in her hand. "Oh, I almost forgot." She ran back to the study, picked up the calligraphy, and went out to work.

When they arrived at the company, Chu Yue helped him change into formal clothes in the lounge, which made him feel better.

"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll ask Auntie Tian to bring it to you." Zhou Xingzhi adjusted his cufflinks and looked at Chu Yue who was helping him adjust his clothes in the mirror. "Have you lost weight recently?" Chu Yue scratched his arm. Hmm, it seems a little bit.

Is she unhappy? Because she can't have dinner with her recently? "If you don't want me to go to the social event, I won't go." It's rare to see her act like this. How can a girlfriend be more important than business?

"No, I'm going to have dinner with Jin Yue tonight. Tell Auntie not to prepare anything in the evening." She didn't want to tell him who she was going to meet in the evening so she changed the subject deliberately. But he thought she was being petty.

"Well, you're having dinner with Jin Yue. Do you want me to accompany you?"

Since she didn't mention her parents, it must be just a gathering between siblings. There shouldn't be any risk.

"You will be allowed to accompany me when it's time. Work hard and don't drink too much at night. Secretary Jiang will complain to me." He straightened his clothes and walked out of the lounge, ready to go to work seriously.

At the dinner place that evening, Chu Jie'an, contrary to his usual behavior, was amiable and cheerful, and even the wealthy wife Huang Yunfu smiled ingratiatingly. Furthermore, the three of them arrived surprisingly early. The last time they arrived so early, it seemed they had locked her up in a private room and told her to marry Xie Yanzhou.

"Yueyue, we are family and we should keep our differences. I said you wouldn't be so stingy." Huang Yunfu poured her tea.

She looked at the cup of tea, not daring to drink it. She just sat down and looked at her brother, whom she hadn't seen for almost a year. "Jin Yue, how many years until graduation? Is your schoolwork heavy? If you find it difficult, don't force yourself."

She had actually eaten at the noodle shop downstairs from the company before coming here. Today, she was just meeting him as usual and had no plans to eat. "What are you talking about? How can you educate your brother like that?" Chu Jie'an still couldn't control his temper.

"Do you really think that you can get rid of me and your mother by climbing up the social ladder?" I used to think that this daughter was a burden. After all, I raised her to this age, and she should be grateful and repay the kindness she has shown me.

Chu Yue lowered her head and smiled bitterly. In the eyes of this father, everything she did was wrong. Before she started dating Zhou Xingzhi, she felt like a daughter, with nothing to offer. After becoming a member of the Zhou family, she began to feel arrogant.

"I'm wondering what kind of cooperation Xingyao Real Estate can have with Jie'an Technology. I'm afraid Zhou Jihuai is using those purchase contracts to make payments?" She is not a fool. At Xinghui, she can still understand some of the ins and outs of business.

"You!" Chu Jie'an originally thought that his daughter was just a vase, but he didn't expect that she knew all these things.

"Whether I climb the ladder or not is my own business. If you want Anjie Technology to continue to operate honestly, don't try to get anything from me." Chu Yue didn't care anymore. The meeting was just her grandmother's last words before she died, asking her to keep an eye on her younger brother.

"Sister." Chu Jinyue was still eating when he smelled the smell of gunpowder in the private room.

"Eat your meal." Chu Yue looked up at her brother, who was still well-behaved and looked more and more like her mother. She looked more and more like Chu Jie'an across from her, which was also annoying.

"I've heard from my parents lately..." He leaned in closer to his sister, eager to witness the demeanor of the CEO of this major Qiancheng factory. "What did they say? That you're not making progress, that you're spending money lavishly? That I'm away from home? That I'm conscienceless and called the police on my own parents?" Chu Yue gave his unsuccessful brother a sullen look.

Although he didn't inherit his mother's preference for boys over girls or his father's desire for his son to be successful, this cowardice of his is still quite annoying.

"Yueyue, how are you talking to your brother? New Year's Day is coming up, and Mom bought you a dress. It's a limited edition. Come try it on when you get home someday." Huang Yunfu noticed that her daughter was different. Although she used to be cold and sarcastic when talking to them, she always seemed guilty. This time, she was clearly much more confident.

Go home? Ridiculous. After her grandmother passed away, how could she still have a home? When she first stepped into the Chu family villa, she didn't know who was behind it and thought she was too petty and unpresentable. At that time, she was only 16 or 17 years old?

"We've met and eaten. This year, our family is together, and you've also given instructions to grandpa and grandma. So that's it. I have something else to do, so I'm sorry I can't keep you company." It was annoying to stay for too long, so it was better to pay the bill and leave.

"Oh, yes, I'll pay for this meal, so you don't have to pay, Mr. Chu." Chu Yue added before leaving.

Although Chu Jie'an was angry, he couldn't lose his temper. His daughter was now strong. Her paintings were also well-known, and she had the support of the Zhou family, a big tree. He couldn't afford to offend her. As Zhou Jihuai said, after all, he was her father, and it was reasonable for him to rely on his daughter.

Chu Jinyue also knew that every time the family of four sat down to eat, the result was always the same. How could he not know what kind of people his parents were? It was a routine for the family of four to sit down and eat a meal every year. If he wanted to see this sister, he could only go to see her privately without his parents' knowledge.

Zhou Xingzhi was worried and sent her a WeChat message. [How was your dinner with Jin Yue?]

She was on the subway back to Cuiyuan, her scarf covering most of her face. [She had finished eating and was on her way back.]
