Chapter 121 The Antidote for the Abstinent Boss (36)
Zhou Shenye remained silent.
Old Master Zhou looked at Zhou He's face and asked, "Have you thought it through?"
"I've thought it through." Zhou He's face was turned towards the floor, and he didn't dare to look up until he heard Grandpa Zhou ask him a question.
His gaze swept over Xie Qingyu and then quickly looked away.
"Did you tell your dad?" Grandpa Zhou usually doesn't interfere in the younger generation's marriages; it's generally decided by their own little family.
Despite the ups and downs of Zhou He's marriage, he never once inquired about it.
Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.
As long as it's not something they shouldn't get involved in, Old Master Zhou never interferes.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't care about his children. He'll still help those like Zhou He who come to him for help.
Zhou He's silence indicates that Zhou Jin was unaware of this matter.
Although Grandpa Zhou had never intervened, he was still quite aware of their affairs.
Zhou Jin is currently dealing with a rather troublesome mess, and he's waiting for the Xie family's funds to come in so he can get rid of it.
How could she agree to Zhou He annul the engagement?
"Are you sure you've thought this through? Is this your own decision?" Zhou Shenye finally spoke, his gaze fixed on Zhou He with a hint of pressure.
Zhou Shenye's gaze was so stern that Zhou He instinctively wanted to look away, but after a moment's hesitation, he finally looked at Zhou Shenye and said, "I've made up my mind."
“I’ll talk to your dad, you don’t need to worry about it.” Zhou Shenye gave him his answer and assurance.
With Zhou Shenye involved, Zhou Jin had no choice but to agree, whether he wanted to or not.
Moreover, anything Zhou Shenye could give Zhou Jin would be far more cost-effective than what the Xie family could offer.
Upon hearing Zhou Shenye's words, Zhou He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and subconsciously looked at Xie Qingyu, as if he wanted to say something.
However, given the current situation, he ultimately said nothing.
He simply bowed to Zhou Shenye and Xie Qingyu before leaving.
After Zhou Shenye spoke, Old Master Zhou remained silent until he saw Zhou He turn and leave before speaking.
"Xiao He has grown up quite a bit."
“He’s not a child anymore,” Zhou Shenye said.
“Yes, when you were his age, I would have already given the Zhou family to you.” Old Master Zhou looked at Xie Qingyu. “Look, he’s so mature for his age, he’s not interesting at all.”
Zhou Shenye glared at Old Master Zhou with hostility, but Old Master Zhou was not intimidated at all. He still chuckled and joked with Xie Qingyu, "He's really boring. If you're bored with him, come over here. It's more lively and crowded here."
Xie Qingyu knew that this was Old Master Zhou's wish for her to bring Zhou Shenye back to the Zhou family's old house more often.
As the head of the Zhou family, it's not a good thing to not be close to the Zhou family members.
So when he saw that Zhou Shenye was willing to take care of Zhou He's annulment of the engagement, even though he knew that Zhou Shenye was doing it for his own sake, Old Master Zhou was still gratified.
Otherwise, after he passes away, there will be few people in the Zhou family worth Zhou Shenye returning to, and the relationship will naturally be severed.
"Okay," Xie Qingyu agreed.
Zhou Shenye looked at Xie Qingyu with some dissatisfaction at her agreeing to the old man's request, but he didn't say anything.
After he returned, he only stayed at the old house for one day, and the old man was already dissatisfied.
“Xiao He is still young, there’s no rush for his marriage. But it’s about you two…” When Grandpa Zhou spoke, he glanced at Zhou Shenye out of the corner of his eye. He could tell what Zhou Shenye was thinking from the softening of his brows, and he immediately smiled. “You two should settle your marriage as soon as possible. The only thing I’m leaving for my daughter-in-law is yours. The sooner I give it to you, the sooner I can feel at ease.”
Old Master Zhou's meaning was clear.
After listening, Xie Qingyu glanced at Zhou Shenye before looking at Old Master Zhou, hesitant to speak.
Seeing Xie Qingyu's expression, both Grandpa Zhou and Zhou Shenye felt their hearts leap into their throats.
“We’ll talk about this later, we’ll discuss it again,” Zhou Shenye said, drawing the attention of Old Master Zhou.
"Alright, you young people can discuss this yourselves. Just make sure you know what's good for you." Old Master Zhou said this, but his eyes were practically rolling upwards at Zhou Shenye.
That incompetent guy—if he had used even a fraction of his business acumen here, he wouldn't be unable to even get a wife.
Now that he's here to help, he doesn't even know how to seize the opportunity.
Zhou Shenye's face remained expressionless as he watched the old man roll his eyes.
In fact, he was more anxious than anyone else.
But since Xie Qingyu has concerns, let's deal with them first.
Zhou Shenye looked at Xie Qingyu and suddenly said, "Zhou He has broken off the engagement. The Xie family shouldn't do anything about it. So your marriage is obviously null and void. Nobody knows about it."
The only people who knew about Zhou He's arranged marriage were the Zhou and Xie families, and Zhou He himself had told his cronies. No one else knew.
After all, the marriage exchange was only a verbal agreement between the two sides, and there was no engagement ceremony.
Now that the engagement has been dissolved, most people still think it was Zhou He and Xie Qingqing who dissolved it.
Zhou Shenye had already made preparations in this regard, and public opinion would not have any impact on Xie Qingyu.
Xie Qingyu herself doesn't care about this.
Zhou Shenye was unsure of Xie Qingyu's hesitation. If there were no external reasons, the reason might lie with him.
Zhou Shenye became increasingly nervous as he thought about it. He got up to say goodbye to Grandpa Zhou and left with Xie Qingyu, completely ignoring Grandpa Zhou's offer to stay for a meal.
As the two of them hurriedly left, Old Master Zhou hummed a little tune and said to the old butler who had been with him for many years, "See? This is what happens when you fall in love. You panic and rush around like that. Before, you were like a hermit, without any emotion at all."
"Young Master is just like you were when you were young."
"He's much worse off than me. He's only ever had this one woman in his entire life." When he was young, Old Master Zhou had a string of romantic entanglements and was very successful in love. He left each woman amicably, never feeling guilty, and only enjoying himself.
Grandpa Zhou doesn't like to worry about his grandchildren. His only son left is Zhou Shenye, who is still single. Now that Xie Qingyu is here, he feels much more at ease.
As for Xie Qingyu's background, he didn't care at all.
Old Master Zhou was a chauvinist his whole life. He earned enough money by himself to last eight lifetimes to never run out of money, and he didn't expect to get anything out of the woman.
They talk about being well-matched in terms of social status, but very few of those couples actually end up together.
Old Master Zhou is calculating how much he'll have to contribute to Zhou Shenye's wedding.
He's already this old; these things should be given away as they are. There's no point in keeping them.
Grandpa Zhou wasn't worried at all that the marriage wouldn't go through. There was nothing Zhou Shenye had ever wanted that he couldn't get.
And Xie Qingyu.....
Grandpa Zhou smiled... A match made in heaven.
