After rebirth, I cut off my love brain sister and want to be the queen

Zhou Minghe's words made me shudder. Is Zhou's mother keeping an eye on Zhou Minghe's whereabouts?

I frowned and said in a cold tone, "Since you knew your mother wouldn't allow you to see me, why did you come here?"

"I wanted to see you, so I couldn't help but come here." Zhou Minghe said aggrievedly and innocently: "I haven't apologized to you properly for what happened last time."

"I'm not angry, don't feel guilty." I shook my head.

Zhou Minghe's eyes froze for a moment, and the next second, he burst into laughter: "It's because you're not angry with me that I always keep it in my heart."

I was stunned.

The next second, Zhou Minghe suddenly stepped forward and held my wrist tightly: "Can we go to your house and sit for a while? I promise I won't do anything."

He grabbed my wrist and took me into the elevator. Inside the elevator, he let go of my hand and leaned against the wall tiredly: "You drive, I'll take your car."

I felt like Zhou Minghe seemed to have something very heavy on his mind, and his eyes gave me the feeling that his heart was about to break.

I had no choice but to drive him to my little home. As soon as Zhou Minghe came in, he lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.

I went to make a pot of hot tea, and when I came back, I found that he had fallen asleep.

His slender body was curled up on a 1.5-meter sofa, sleeping soundly.

I frowned, went into the room, got a quilt for him and covered him with it. I wondered how long he had been awake.

I think it's because the company has a lot of things to do at the end of the year, and he also has to fly to the US headquarters. Flying back and forth will always make him tired.

I poured a cup of tea, sat beside him and drank it slowly, waiting for him to wake up.

Zhou Minghe slept for more than two hours and was woken up by the sound of renovations downstairs. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were blank and vacant. He didn't sit up until he saw me.

Frowning, she said, "I just came back from the United States. I haven't slept much in two days because of work."

I nodded, thinking it was probably because of work.

"The tea is cold. I'll make you another cup of hot tea." I stood up and brought him another cup of hot tea. Zhou Minghe reached out to take it, wrapped himself in my quilt, and drank it slowly.

He looked around while drinking, and finally, his eyes fell on me: "Jingjing, I don't know why, but I can sleep peacefully with you by my side."

I pursed my lips and smiled: "Don't say sweet words, I don't like to hear them recently."

Zhou Minghe: “…”

I lazily leaned on the single sofa and said, "You're obviously not short of money, so why are you still working so hard? For someone with your background, you should just wait to inherit the family business."

Zhou Minghe said self-deprecatingly, "My father was very strict with me since I was a child and had extremely high expectations of me. But because his relationship with my mother was broken, I always went against him. Later, for a while, he sent me abroad and ignored me. Oh, it was during the time I met you. I even gave you something my grandmother left behind. In the middle of winter, he punished me by making me kneel in the pavilion to repent, and you saw it."

I do remember this incident. At that time, Zhou Minghe was a rebellious person, with his eyes and eyebrows full of arrogance and rebelliousness.

"So, you are working hard now to prove yourself?" I asked softly.

"Well, my mother told me that I must not be worse than the mistress's child, and that I must prove myself." Zhou Minghe's words surprised me. There was too much information in them.

My beautiful eyes widened and looked at Zhou Minghe.

Zhou Minghe shrugged his shoulders: "Didn't I tell you before? My dad has a son and a daughter outside."

I slowed down my tea drinking and looked at his eyes, which showed a hint of heartache. I thought Zhou Minghe's family would not have such troubles.

"Although my parents haven't divorced, they've long been separated in spirit. That's why I don't like going back to that home. When I was six, I found out that my dad had a girlfriend outside, a celebrity. My dad treated her very well, and my mom was jealous and crazy, and she neglected to take care of me. So, I was thrown to my uncle. At that time, my uncle took me to school, and I relied on him a lot." Zhou Minghe held the teacup and took a sip silently. "Now, my parents' marriage is in trouble, and my mom still hopes that I can get married and have a child as soon as possible."

I looked at the tears Zhou Minghe was holding back in his eyes. This must be the reason why he has always felt insecure.

"Then you should listen to your mother. She must be doing this for your own good." I advised softly.

"No." Zhou Minghe squeezed out the word from between his teeth. "When we were little, I asked her not to leave and to stay with me, but she left anyway. Now that I'm an adult, I don't have to listen to her anymore."

I lowered my eyes and looked at the tea in my hand, not knowing how to comfort him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to talk to you about these bad things, but I can't find anyone else to talk to." Zhou Minghe suddenly apologized.

I smiled at him and said, "I really like to listen to gossip. I like listening to you tell me these things."

Zhou Minghe was stunned.

I looked at him and asked, "How old is your father's mistress's child?"

"The older one is fifteen, and the younger one is thirteen." Zhou Minghe felt extremely depressed when he said this.

"So do you hate your dad?" I asked.

"Hate." Zhou Minghe said indifferently, "There's nothing I can do about it. He has the final say on family matters."

I finally understand. In fact, sometimes even TV dramas only show a small part of the ups and downs in wealthy families. The real waters are much deeper.

"Hearing you say that, I seem to know why you always feel insecure, because you are extremely lacking in love." I said jokingly.

Zhou Minghe's eyes dropped a bit: "Maybe."

"You are running both companies well now. Your father should be proud of you." I saw that he was in a bad mood and wanted to comfort him.

"No." Zhou Minghe shook his head. "I still haven't met his expectations. He even criticized me in public at a family gathering a few days ago."

"Ah?" I really couldn't imagine how high his father's expectations must have been for him not to see his son's achievements.

Zhou Minghe smiled self-deprecatingly and said nothing.

I glanced at the time. It was already dark outside the window. "It's almost six o'clock. I have to go back."

When Zhou Minghe heard me say I was leaving, he suddenly stood up from the sofa, his expression pleading: "Jingjing, can we have dinner together tonight?"

I shook my head: "Probably not. The child needs my care."

"Then...can I go to your house for dinner?" Zhou Minghe suddenly asked in a low voice.

I was stunned. Zhou Minghe began to differentiate the relationship between us. This was a good thing. At least, it proved that I broke up with him completely.

"I'll call my aunt and do your part." I took my phone to the balcony and after a while, I took my coat and said, "Let's go."

Zhou Minghe followed me and left home.

When we drove back home, my aunt had already prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Seeing me come back, my aunt suddenly came forward and said, "Doctor Ji also said he would come over for dinner. He just said hello."

I was stunned and looked back at Zhou Minghe. Zhou Minghe's expression was also a little stiff. The next second, he looked at me with inquiring eyes.
