Depressed wife runs with the ball

"I'm not nervous." Chu Yue refused to admit it, took a deep breath and followed him into the door.

In the living room, Zhou Kecheng and Zhou Jihuai were drinking tea, Mo Xiaoxiao was helping in the kitchen, and Li Li was trimming a bouquet of flowers on the dining table. Hearing her son coming back, she put down the scissors in her hand and stood up to greet him at the door.

"Oh, Yueyue is here too, come quickly. Why didn't you tell me in advance? You are such a rash kid." Li Li blamed her son while pulling Chu Yue.

"Mom, Dad, where's my brother?" Zhou Xingzhi greeted politely. "Auntie," Chu Yue followed suit. Li Li smiled brightly, not calling her Mrs. Zhou this time. It looked like good things were coming.

"Xingzhi is back, Mom. Do you think we can start eating now?" Mo Xiaoxiao also poked her head out of the kitchen and looked at Chu Yue meaningfully.

"Yes, yes, let's eat. Let's eat. Old man, it's time to eat. Aunt Wang, clean up and prepare for the banquet. Yueyue, come upstairs with me. Your uncle has been studying the calligraphy you gave him last time for several months." Li Li pulled Chu Yue upstairs. On the stairs, she turned around and said to her son, "Aunt Wang, call us after you've cleaned up."

"I drew a picture and originally planned to bring it here, but I left it in Xingzhi's office. I'll ask him to send it to you next time." Chu Yue followed her upstairs.

"Dad, brother." Zhou Xingzhi also sat on the sofa in the living room.

"Well, how is the work in Switzerland?" Zhou Kecheng asked about his work.

"Well, it went smoothly. It's just that the project manager doesn't seem very professional, and the efficiency there is still lower than in China. Some procedures require several trips." He took a sip of the tea on the coffee table. Hmm, it wasn't as good as the one his girlfriend brewed.

Zhou Kecheng nodded. It is true that efficiency is low abroad.

"Xingzhi, this Miss Chu, I heard that her father is Chu Jie'an. You should be wary of some people and don't bring just anyone home." Zhou Jihuai sat on the sofa and interrupted leisurely.

"You also know Xiaoyue's father?" Zhou Kecheng lowered his eyes. He had never heard his youngest son talk about his girlfriend's family affairs, but this disappointing eldest son knew it first.

"Some business dealings." Zhou Jihuai felt a little guilty.

"Brother, there are a lot of problems with your recent projects. It seems that there is a small-property real estate project recently?" Zhou Xingzhi also used work matters to pressure him.

"Sir, the banquet is ready." Wang Ma cleared the table, set the table, and announced the start of the feast. She then prepared to go upstairs to inform the mistress.

"I'll go." Zhou Xingzhi stood up and headed for the second floor. In the studio on the second floor, his mother sat at her easel, painting. Chu Yue stood by, giving instructions. She wasn't polite at all. Pointing at a thick block of color, she said, "There's something wrong here! The color is so thick, you can't even show the texture."

"Mom, Yueyue, let's go downstairs to eat." He stretched out his hand and waited for Chu Yue to come over.

Chu Yue turned around and saw that it was him, and subconsciously took his hand.

"Oh, he really forgot his mother after getting a wife." Li Li put down her paintbrush and followed him downstairs to eat.

At the dinner table, Mo Xiaoxiao sat diagonally across from Chu Yue and casually mentioned, "Assistant Chu is quite capable at work. A few days ago, he even suggested that I replace the company's styling team."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Kecheng, who was asking about some things in the group, also looked up at Chu Yue, and Li Li also looked up in shock.

"Well, Xinghan's styling team is too old and it's time to change it. If we just rely on these two young actors to make money, they will sooner or later go out and set up their own business. It's better to change to a styling team that is more in line with the aesthetics of young people, change the style, and make some waves." Chu Yue looked calm, just focused on eating and casually agreed.

"I wonder if Special Assistant Chu has any recommendations?" Mo Xiaoxiao continued to dig a hole.

"This is Xingyao's business and should be the responsibility of President Mo. I am just expressing my opinion. But President Mo, as the person in charge, can't you see these problems?" Chu Yue pushed the problem to her again.

These words left Mo Xiaoxiao speechless. Of course she knew about it, but the social etiquette involved was not something she could mention.

"Tell me, what exactly is the problem?" Zhou Kecheng put down his chopsticks, wanting to hear what this special assistant thought about Xingyao's problem.

Are all capitalists like this, even during meals? Or is it just Zhou Paopi and his family? "In the entertainment industry, image is still very important. If the styling team has outdated aesthetics, their path will indeed become increasingly narrow." Chu Yue's impatience was almost visible on his face.

Zhou Xingzhi quickly picked up some food for her and secretly pulled up her off-shoulder top, trying to stop her from talking any further. Li Li's face also looked a little grim. The head of the styling team was an old acquaintance of hers. If he really changed her, how would she explain it to her friend?

"Xiao Yue has a very thorough understanding of Xinghui's business." Zhou Kecheng's face showed no change of emotion.

Chu Yue looked at the fish on the table. Hmm... it was a little far away from her, so she couldn't reach it. She looked at Zhou Xingzhi for help and replied, "Hmm... it's mainly because of Mr. Zhou's good guidance."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Kecheng burst out laughing. Seeing him laugh, the others at the table also relaxed. "No wonder Xingzhi insisted on keeping you by his side." Zhou Kecheng smiled and nodded, picking up his chopsticks to eat.

Seeing a group of people relaxing and eating, Chu Yue came close to Zhou Xingzhi and asked him to help her pick up the fish. What she said, to Zhou Xingzhi, was a blatant display of affection.

His ears were red, and he didn't hear her request for fish. He just pursed his lips and smiled foolishly.

"Xingzhi, when are you planning to get married?" Li Li saw her son's useless appearance and knew that in the future, it would be no one else's turn to be his wife.

Chu Yue sat up straight. They were just talking about work, so why were they talking about marriage now? And they hadn't even been dating for half a year. It was too early.

"Auntie, we haven't confirmed our relationship yet..."

"Mom, this is our own business, we should decide for ourselves." Zhou Xingzhi had originally planned to keep the fact that he was going to propose to her a secret, but after hearing what his mother said, he almost let the cat out of the bag.

Chu Yue felt relieved after hearing what he said. She leaned closer again and asked him to help her pick up a piece of fish. Zhou Xingzhi simply stood up and placed the plate of fish in front of her. Zhou Kecheng shook his head helplessly.

Getting married, haha. Changing the styling team. If they really got married, Li Li wouldn't be happy with her daughter-in-law. Although there wasn't a scene, her goal for today had been achieved.

After dinner, on the way back, Chu Yue sat in the passenger seat, playing with his phone, and said, "I was scared to death."

Zhou Xingzhi thought she was so brave that she could talk to his father about the company's business in such a casual manner, but it turned out that she was not.

"Your mother actually mentioned getting married. That's terrible," she added.

"Getting married, isn't that a good idea?" I thought she was afraid of her father's authority, but it turned out she was worried about getting married. "No. I can't work for you and marry you at the same time. My life can't just revolve around you, the Zhou family."

Zhou Xingzhi was a little discouraged. Perhaps his feelings were not yet to the point where he wanted to marry him. The proposal would probably have to wait for some time.

Actually, it wasn't entirely because of this. Chu Yue always felt that Zhou Xingzhi was setting a trap. His father agreed to it because she brought value to Xinghui. If she no longer had any value and left behind a good family background, what good life would she have in the Zhou family? Did she really expect Zhou Xingzhi to treat her well forever?

How could someone like her, who had no way out, dare to get married? Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling a little lost. Looking out the car window, she felt that she might not dare to get married in the future.

"Yueyue, do you want to choose one of the two? Get married or work at Xinghui?" Zhou Xingzhi felt that if they got married, it would not be impossible for her to go back to Qucho to work.

"No, Zhou Xingzhi, you don't want to get married, do you? We have been in a relationship for less than half a year!" Chu Yue couldn't help but stare at him with wide eyes.
