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

Zhou Jianguo's expression was not good; this was a slap in the face.

I've never heard her say she doesn't eat seafood.

It seems she's deliberately trying to trip him up; he's still wondering why she agreed to the engagement so quickly.

Old Master Chen looked at Zhou Jianguo with a profound and inscrutable expression: "Mr. Zhou, how come you can't even remember that your daughter can't eat seafood? Didn't you send me a message saying that your daughter loves seafood the most, and that she eats seafood almost every meal?"

This left Zhou Jianguo somewhat bewildered. He had been harboring suspicions about Zhou Liwan, but now he was uncertain: "When did I send you that text message? I haven't sent it to you these past few days..."

At this point, Zhou Jianguo suddenly stopped talking, his face darkening.

These past few days, aside from today when I was at the villa waiting for Zhou Liwan to join us for our appointment, I've been spending the rest of my time here.

He spends the rest of his time at Xiaofen's apartment.

The only people who could touch their own phones were those two.

The old man said no more, but simply told the waiter to clear away all the seafood on the table and select some new land-based dishes.

Zhou Liwan smiled but didn't say anything, while Chen Jinghuai looked apologetic and went on another round of solicitousness.

In short, this meal was quite eventful.

After the meal, the two elders claimed that they had nothing in common with the younger generation and asked Chen Jinghuai to take Zhou Liwan home, which was actually to create more time for the two of them to be alone.

Zhou Liwan calmly got into the car, the smile on her lips never fading.

Looking at the girl sitting in the passenger seat, Chen Jinghuai was already imagining their life together after marriage.

An indescribable sense of happiness slowly emerged.

A car approached from a distance, its high beams blinding Zhou Liwan so much that she turned her head and closed her eyes uncomfortably. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, like a beautiful butterfly fluttering its wings.

It took me a while to recover.

When Chen Jinghuai opened his eyes, he was greeted by a stunning scene.

My heart pounded wildly, and my fingers twitched involuntarily, wanting to caress the other person's soft face.

"What are you dawdling for, you brat? Hurry up and drive, or you'll keep Wanwan from getting any rest!"

Old Master Chen had a complete view of the scene inside the car from outside, cursed himself for being so spineless, and quickly reminded him.

Startled awake, Chen Jinghuai started the car with a flushed face.

The car drove along the winding mountain road, and the surroundings were extremely quiet.

Only the stars in the sky kept Zhou Liwan from getting too bored.

Fearing that Zhou Li would be bored at the party, Chen Jinghuai always tried to find something to talk about.

But he was the one who kept talking. As they were almost at their destination, Zhou Liwan finally spoke slowly: "I know about you and your sister. I think your sister told me that day. But at the time, I didn't know that you were my fiancé, so I didn't mean to ruin things between you and your sister. Don't worry, I will explain this to my father."

Chen Jinghuai became a little anxious upon hearing this, fearing that Zhou Liwan would misunderstand: "Don't misunderstand, I have no relationship with Zhou Qingya at all, really!"

Zhou Liwan's face instantly darkened: "If there's nothing between us, your sister will get jealous when she sees us shaking hands and think I'm seducing you? Do you really think I'm some kind of easy-to-scam little girl?"

The car came to a stop in front of the Zhou family's house. Chen Jinghuai was eager to take Zhou Liwan's hand, but she pushed him away and said, "Mr. Chen, watch your manners. We have no relationship at all so far! Please have some self-respect."

After saying that, he didn't give the other person a chance to explain further and got out of the car.

As Chen Jinghuai watched his beloved walk away, a surge of anger rose within him towards Zhou Qingya. If it weren't for her, Wanwan wouldn't have given him such a hard time.

And the seafood tonight might also be related to her.

Looking back now, it seems that the way they met was all a trap set by that wicked woman to lure them into a trap.

"Damn it!" Chen Jinghuai slammed his fist on the steering wheel and cursed.

When Zhou Jianguo returned, Zhou Liwan had already washed up and was getting ready for bed. He was surprised to see her at home and asked, "Why are you home tonight?"

Zhou Liwan sneered: "What, where should I be if I'm not at home? Are you lying in a hotel with that Chen Jinghuai?"

His thoughts had been exposed, and as a father, he felt somewhat uncomfortable, but he still refused to refute, saying, "When are you going to change the way you talk to me? But since you two are already engaged, it's understandable that you don't come back."

Listen to what a father said. Zhou Liwan lowered her eyes and carefully applied essential oil to her still slightly damp hair.

Zhou Liwan suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze sharpening abruptly: "You really will say anything for money! I really want everyone outside to hear what you, as a father, are saying!"

Zhou Jianguo's face was gloomy; he was almost driven mad by the two women in his life.

One is Jiang Xinyi, who has already died, and the other is her daughter.

Why are they always so arrogant and always want to challenge themselves?

I've been being nice enough during this time, and this is what I got in return?

But this wicked beast's endless provocations showed that he didn't respect his father at all.

"Hmph!" Zhou Jianguo didn't want to waste any more words with Zhou Liwan; she couldn't be moved until the matter was settled.

Zhou Liwan dried her hair with a hairdryer once before going to sleep.

Recalling Zhou Jianguo's ugly face just now, I couldn't help but mutter, "Utterly ridiculous."

The next day, she had promised Jiang Shiyue that they would go to work together, but a phone call brought her back to the company once again.

Song Yufei said that this morning, the general managers of the Zhang family in the south and the Li family in the east blocked Wanbao's door early in the morning, insisting on seeing her.

But she's in the US right now and I can't handle it. I didn't know what to do, so I had to call her.

Zhou Liwan was somewhat puzzled, as she seemed to have no recollection of either of these companies.

Why didn't you come directly to the Zhou family or the Jiang family, but instead went to Wanbao's place?

Zhou Liwan originally didn't intend to pay any attention, but Song Yufei said that they all came with luggage and wouldn't leave if they didn't see her, and would just stay at Wanbao's place.

Helpless, Zhou Liwan had no choice but to tell Jiang Shiyue and then rush to Wanbao.

In the chairman's office, Zhang Qiang and Li Fang were still breathing heavily through their nostrils.

Upon seeing Zhou Liwan, he instantly stood up and knelt down with a thud.

Zhou Liwan was startled by this action and quickly had someone help the two of them up.

But no matter how many of them there were, it was all in vain.

Zhou Liwan didn't want to disrupt the others' work, so after they went back, she sat down in a chair, took a deep breath, and said helplessly, "Gentlemen, just say what you have to say. If you need any help, please let me know first. You're both older than me, and you're putting on this act for me. I really think too highly of you!"

Zhang Qiang stood up first and strode towards Zhou Liwan: "Miss Zhou, we really have no choice. We are nothing but ants compared to the Jiang family. We have been forced into this situation and have no other option!"
