Reborn with the ability to read minds, I became a heartthrob.

In the afternoon, Zhou Jianguo was already waiting at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, as if he was afraid that Zhou Liwan would run away.

When Zhou Liwan came out carrying her bag, she saw his face, and she was in a really bad mood.

He didn't say a word after getting into the car.

Zhou Jianguo then adopted his fatherly demeanor and said earnestly, "When you see Old Master Chen later, don't put on that expression again. I am your father, so of course I won't hold it against you. But after all, he is your future husband's family. Don't keep a long face like someone owes you something."

Zhou Liwan sneered: "If you can't stand it, why did you make me ride in the same car as you? Are you that afraid I'll run away halfway?"

Zhou Jianguo, his thoughts exposed, lost face and his tone turned stern: "Is this how you talk to me? If others heard this, they'd laugh their heads off! You have no manners!"

Zhou Liwan retorted with a cold laugh: "I was born, but no one taught me, so naturally I have no manners."

Zhou Jianguo was so angry he almost hit him in the car, but he held back because he had to meet someone later: "I think you've been spoiled rotten by your grandfather. Don't go to the old house for the next few days!"

Zhou Liwan was genuinely amused and annoyed. This Zhou Jianguo was truly shameless; then he shouldn't blame her.

"That's none of your business, and you have no right to interfere!"

"you···"

Zhou Liwan closed her eyes, not wanting to waste any more words with him: "Alright, you should be quiet for a while and save your energy for later."

After saying that, he put on his headphones and refused to communicate further.

Zhou Jianguo's face darkened and he clenched his teeth tightly.

【Once you're married, let's see who'll still spoil you like this. You'll still have to listen to your husband's family in everything. When the Chen family goes bankrupt, won't you be coming to beg your father for a way out?】

Zhou Liwan remained silent and said nothing.

The dinner was arranged by Chen Jiading; it wasn't in the city center, but the place was quiet.

Built against the mountain, with small bridges and flowing water, it is also very picturesque.

Knowing that Zhou Liwa and the others had arrived, Old Master Chen and Chen Jinghuai were already waiting at the door.

Chen Jinghuai put some thought into this, and his custom-made white suit certainly made him look quite dashing.

However, if you look closely, you can see that he is too thin and doesn't fill out the gentleman's suit.

After Zhou Liwan got out of the car, Chen Jinghuai's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly went to greet her: "Miss Zhou, we meet again."

Old Master Chen naturally wanted to see this scene, and immediately pointed at Chen Jinghuai jokingly, pretending to be angry and laughing as he teased, "You good-for-nothing, you're so eager to fawn over Wanwan as soon as you see her."

Zhou Jianguo, standing to the side, smiled and said on Chen Jinghuai's behalf, "Young Master Chen is just a true gentleman, giving Wanwan some face."

Zhou Liwan smiled without saying a word, her eyes filled with disdain.

Chen Jinghuai wasn't angry at Zhou Liwan's lukewarm attitude. Ever since he learned that Zhou Liwan was his fiancée, he had been overjoyed.

These past few days, I've been haunted by that holy face.

The fairies in the heavens naturally have their own pride, which is completely understandable.

On the contrary, the more aloof and indifferent he seemed, the more irresistible he became.

Zhou Liwan felt nauseous upon hearing the other person's filthy thoughts.

He couldn't help but blurt out, "I never expected that Young Master Chen was you."

When the man saw that the beautiful angel he had been longing for had finally spoken to him, he quickly replied, "What did you say?"

Zhou Liwan looked around at the surroundings and said with a half-smile, "After all, you just took your sister to the Wan family's charity gala. You invited her as your date, so you must have some feelings for her. Since that's the case..."

When Old Master Chen heard this, his face darkened. If the Zhou father and daughter hadn't been there, he would have really wanted to beat this idiot to death with a stick.

Zhou Liwan's sister? What sister?!

She's just an illegitimate child!

She was a woman the Jiang family utterly despised, a nobody, so why would he bring her to such a high-profile event?

Moreover, this happened after he was preparing to get engaged to Zhou Liwan, which was just embarrassing for the Jiang family!

How am I supposed to ask the Jiang family for billions in funding after this?

Chen Jinghuai opened his mouth to explain, but Zhou Liwan reached out to interrupt him: "Since Young Master Chen and your sister are already in love, I am not the kind of person who holds grudges. Of course, I will sincerely congratulate you both."

Chen Jinghuai was sweating profusely with anxiety. He opened his mouth to explain for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything: "Your sister and I really have no relationship. It's just that she begged me that time, saying she wanted to see what a charity gala was like, saying that she had been suppressed by her older sister since childhood and had never..."

"Shut up!" Old Master Chen's face was so black it could drip water. Did this idiot even know what he was saying?

Zhou Liwan looked at Old Master Chen with a leisurely air, wanting to see what kind of explanation he could come up with this time.

"Wanwan, you've really misunderstood. My silly boy has always been too kind-hearted, so he's often taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives. But I can guarantee that there's absolutely nothing else between them."

Zhou Jianguo's expression wasn't very good either, but since he had already accepted the money from the Chen family, he naturally couldn't let the marriage fall through.

So he quickly stepped in: "Alright, Wanwan, stop talking. Let's not stand here any longer. We're blocking their business! Let's go inside."

Grandpa Chen immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes! Let's go in and take our seats quickly. I asked you about your preferences this morning, and tonight's dinner is all your favorite dishes. Come on."

Chen Jinghuai was careful not to say anything more, and just followed Zhou Liwan obsequiously.

He helped her with her bag, pulled out her chair, and set out her plate.

This guy doesn't look like a young master at all.

Zhou Jianguo smiled with satisfaction, while Old Master Chen's smile contained a hint of bravado.

But Zhou Liwan still managed to catch it.

"Alright, Jinghuai, sit up straight. Miss Zhou will be under a lot of pressure if you keep acting like this." Old Master Chen finally spoke up, unable to bear it any longer.

Chen Jinghuai's hand, which was pouring water, froze. He carefully glanced at Zhou Liwan's expression and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing no impatience.

He put down the teapot and sat down next to Zhou Liwan this time.

"Looking at you two, you really are a perfect match."

Grandpa Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Zhou Liwan slowly lowered her eyes and did not reply.

Chen Jinghuai, on the other hand, kept grinning foolishly; Zhou Liwan had never seen such a lovesick look in her previous life.

In his previous life, when he first got married, he was indeed briefly attracted to his own appearance.

But later I realized that I was really cowardly and easy to talk to, and I gradually lost that sense of novelty.

She even had an affair with Zhou Qingya while she was pregnant.

Men are just like that, always wanting what they can't have.

This time, instead of giving him a friendly look, he kept trying to curry favor with her.

After the dishes were served, Zhou Liwan smiled but remained silent as she looked at the table full of seafood, not touching her chopsticks for a long time.

Grandpa Chen said enthusiastically, "Eat up, Wanwan! I had a friend specially air-freight these over this morning, they're very fresh."

Zhou Liwan casually remarked, "I'm allergic to seafood."

The group, who had been enjoying their meal, suddenly stopped and looked at Zhou Jianguo in disbelief.

Why did his daughter, who is allergic to seafood, send him a message saying that Zhou Liwan loves seafood? They wanted to show off, so all the dishes today were seafood.

In that case, she can't eat any dishes at all.
