On a drizzling day, Zhou Zelin finally woke up from his deep sleep. When Zhou Qinyao received the news and went to the hospital, he saw that he had just woken up with a pale face, and slapped the woman standing opposite him with all his strength.
He panted heavily and angrily cursed: "Bitch!"
Decades of hard work were all gone after he woke up. Zhou Zelin was furious and kept shouting at Wu Meng to get out of the room, saying he didn't want to see her again.
Wu Meng was slapped and his face looked a little ugly. After a moment, he smiled indifferently, lowered his waist, and said to a little boy standing at the head of the bed:
"Rui Rui, what should we do? Dad is going to chase us away."
Zhou Rui was just over two years old and had no idea what was happening, but he understood Zhou Zelin's slap.
There was a bit of timidity in his eyes, but he still walked to the bed, grabbed Zhou Zelin's hand, and said in a baby voice with a little flattery: "Dad..."
Zhou Zelin was angry and hateful.
And helpless.
Zhou Qinyao, who was standing outside the door, saw his father still able to curse with such full energy, and he knew that it was no big deal.
He passed by the ward without entering, asked the doctors and nurses to take good care of him, and then turned and left.
But for some reason, even after leaving for a long time, I still can't forget the frightened look in Zhou Rui's eyes at that time.
Tang You's university life began from then on. One thing that made her even happier than being admitted to her ideal school was that Cheng Xuan was also admitted to the Performance Department of Haiyi.
The tuition at the Art Academy was high, and Aunt Xian used all her family's resources to support her study. Cheng Xuan did not dare to let herself down, so she found a part-time job in a cafe to supplement her living expenses.
When Tang You is free on weekdays, he will go to the cafe where she works on weekends to order a cup of coffee, read a book, and keep her company.
In October, Zhou Qinyao went abroad and met with a diamond supplier he once knew. Fortunately, due to their past acquaintance, the other party appreciated his personality and style, and the two of them reached a cooperation agreement.
This is also Zhou Qinyao’s first step to revitalize the Zhou family.
Everyone in the circle knows that the eldest son of the Zhou family has returned to take over power and is desperately trying to pull the Zhou Group back from the brink of bankruptcy. There will definitely be new moves, but everyone is secretly waiting to see how he can revive this tarnished brand and turn stone into gold in his hands.
The night he returned from abroad, Zhou Qinyao went straight to a banquet, and Fang Lai happened to be there.
As the glasses clinked and toasted each other, the shrewd and experienced business woman and the young and handsome upstart, the future mother-in-law and son-in-law jointly secured an investment, which was a really good start.
At the banquet, Fang Lai drank a little too much. She was used to driving herself and never had a driver with her. When the party was over, Zhou Qinyao was worried about her and sent her home.
The driver was Zhou Qinyao's assistant Xiao Lu.
The car drove all the way back to Fang Lai's villa in Haicheng.
Zhou Qinyao hasn't seen Tang You for almost two months since he last saw her at the university gate. It would be a lie to say that he didn't miss her.
The car stopped at the door of the villa. He hesitated for a while. Fang Lai seemed to see what he was thinking and smiled: "Come in and sit for a while?"
Zhou Qinyao paused, and Fang Lai immediately said, "Youyou lives on campus and only comes back on weekends."
Zhou Qinyao: “…”
Are you kidding me.
So he said goodbye in disappointment: "Then you should go back and have a rest early."
After saying that, Zhou Qinyao was about to leave. At this time, Tang Yuanxiao came out to greet him. He finally saw the future son-in-law that his wife had always talked about, and he refused to let him go no matter what he said.
"Xiao Zhou, come in and sit down."
How could Zhou Qinyao dare to offend his future father-in-law, so he had to ask his assistant to park the car at the door and he got out and went in.
The Tang family's decoration is in classical Chinese style. There is a famous calligraphy hanging in the middle of the wall. Tang Yuanxiao is practicing calligraphy at home.
Before he went into business in the last century, he was a Chinese teacher and had excellent calligraphy skills.
There were several pieces of written and dried words on the table. Zhou Qinyao walked forward to take a look. Tang Yuanxiao's handwriting was quite like that of a master, soft yet firm, and his running script was vigorous and natural.
I sincerely praise you: "Uncle, you have good handwriting."
Tang Yuanxiao said, "I heard that your grandfather was a master of Chinese studies. I think your calligraphy shouldn't be too bad, right? How about writing a piece for me?"
Zhou Qinyao smiled modestly.
His grandfather did teach him calligraphy when he was a child, but he was not very interested at that time, and with his 30% endurance he only learned the basics from the old man.
But since his future father-in-law had spoken, he had to enjoy himself no matter what.
So I naturally picked up my pen, thought for a moment, and wrote a line of words.
Tang Yuanxiao looked at the four words that fell before his eyes—
A special liking
Straight men can't understand the romance of young people. Fang Lai walked over from behind with a cup of tea and took a look. He patted Tang Yuanxiao on the shoulder and said, "He is expressing his love to your daughter from a distance."
A special liking.
After his wife reminded him, Tang Yuanxiao finally realized the mystery behind this word. He smiled happily and led Zhou Qinyao to the golden nan sofa: "Xiao Zhou, come and sit here."
The servant made tea for Zhou Qinyao and talked about the new brand that was about to be launched. Tang Yuanxiao couldn't help but become interested:
"I heard from Youyou's mom that you're going to launch a new brand?"
Zhou Qinyao smiled and said, "Yes."
"Not Moon anymore? What's that called?"
Before Zhou Qinyao could answer, Fang Lai answered the question for him:
“It’s in those four words he wrote.”
Tang Yuanxiao: “?”
Fang Lai and Zhou Qinyao smiled at each other.
This was the opportunity he had finally waited for after lying dormant for more than half a year and stabilizing the situation to a certain level.
He will abandon the moon era created by Zhou Zelin, and replace it with the new world created by him, Zhou Qinyao.
Of course, the name and other things need to be changed.
After three rounds of tea, Zhou Qinyao stood up to say goodbye, but suddenly there was a sound of a girl knocking on the door.
It’s as crisp and soft as ever, but not as restrained as before.
Now even her voice has a bit more joy.
"Mom, are you home?"
The three people in the room looked at each other.
No one expected that Tang You would suddenly come home on Wednesday.
Fang Lai was the first to react and pulled Zhou Qinyao up: "Hurry, go to the kitchen and hide for a while."
Zhou Qinyao: “…”
His expression revealed a request that said, "I really miss your daughter. Can you let me take a look at her?"
However, Fang Lai is very principled.
I can help you and pull you along, but until you achieve results, you cannot go against our original agreement.
"It's not time for you to meet yet."
Zhou Qinyao paused, then had no choice but to move to the kitchen not far away and close the door.
Through the tiny gap, you can see the girl walking into the door with an autumn breeze and a smile on her face.
She took off her plaid windbreaker and laid it on the sofa. Seeing the three still-warm teacups on the table, she asked, "Mom, are there guests at home?"
Tang Yuanxiao: "Zhou Zhan is here."
Fang Lai pinched him secretly and immediately changed the subject: "Why did you come back so suddenly?"
"Oh, my classmates asked me to watch a movie at the Saint Music Square tonight. It's a bit cold outside, so I came back to change clothes."
Tang You didn't seem to want to continue questioning Zhou Zhan. Anyway, in her memory, she didn't have a very good impression of this cousin of Zhou Yan.
She went directly to her room on the second floor.
Tang Yuanxiao remained silent and looked at Fang Lai with dissatisfaction.
He turned his head and glanced at the figure in the kitchen, then lowered his voice and said:
"I think Xiao Zhou is doing fine, so please stop bothering them."
Fang Lai looked at him seriously and said, "What do you know? If you can't even wait for this little while, how can you leave your daughter to him for the rest of your life?"
Tang Yuanxiao: “…”
In five minutes, Tang You came down from upstairs and changed into a thick coat.
"I'm leaving now. Good night, Mom and Dad."
Fang Lai: "Be careful."
Tang You left, Zhou Qinyao came out of the kitchen and looked at the expression on Fang Lai's face. There was not a trace of displeasure on her face.
Zhou Qinyao paused and pointed at his watch: "Aunt, it's nine o'clock in the evening. Do you agree to go out to see a movie?"
Fang Lai looked over with an indifferent look: "What's wrong?"
Then he deliberately said in a pretentious tone: "She has her own thoughts and hobbies. You should give her more space and freedom."
After saying that, Fang Lai looked at him with a smile on his face: "Didn't you teach me this?"
Zhou Qinyao: “…”
Although he was slapped in the face by his mother-in-law, he still frowned.
Nine o'clock is too late. It will be eleven or twelve o'clock at night after watching a movie...
Fang Lai approached, patted him, and said deliberately:
"I heard that many boys in school are chasing Youyou."
Zhou Qinyao: “…”
His expression froze for a moment, and then he stood up and said goodbye:
"I'm leaving first, uncle and aunt, good night."
Fang Lai nodded, saying meaningfully: "You need to hurry up and do your best."
…
After leaving the Tang family, Zhou Qinyao said to his assistant Xiao Lu in a not calm manner: "Let's go to Shengle Square."
Xiao Lu saw from the rearview mirror that his boss was tugging at his tie with an annoyed look on his face, as if he was troubled and unhappy about something.
He didn't dare to ask, nor did he dare to say anything. He just drove the car to Shengle Square in silence.
The cinema was on the fifth floor. Zhou Qinyao went up the stairs and when he reached the exit, he just leaned half of his body out and immediately retracted it swiftly.
Tang You and Cheng Xuan were standing in front of the claw machine not far in front of him.
Cheng Xuan received his salary today and specially invited Tang You to watch a newly released movie.
There were still fifteen minutes before the venue was due to leave, and the two girls were bored of waiting, so they played with claw machines.
Cheng Xuan held a bucket of popcorn in his hand and instructed Tang You in the direction of the movement. After trying several times, he failed to catch the pink rabbit.
The movie was about to start, so Tang You had no choice but to give up. Before leaving, she expressed to Cheng Xuan how regretful she was and how much she liked this rabbit.
The little girl tied her hair into a ponytail today, and perhaps because she was too nervous playing, her cheeks had two small blushes.
Just like in the past, even if people just look at her from a distance, they can't help but want to go up and kiss her.
After the two girls went to the ticket gate and walked into the inner field hand in hand, Zhou Qinyao's previous irritability and sense of crisis all sank to the bottom of his heart.
Fortunately, there was no other man around her.
Zhou Qinyao's sight fell on the claw machine at this time.
He walked over and looked at the pink rabbit lying inside.
He was wearing an exquisite black suit and had a tall and eye-catching figure. He looked very out of place standing among this pile of girly things.
A waitress came over boldly and said, "Handsome guy, do you need any help?"
When Tang You and Cheng Xuan came out of the movie, it was already 11:30 in the evening.
There were not many people in the cinema, and the outside area was very quiet. Cheng Xuan went to the bathroom, and Tang You came out alone first, and was suddenly stopped by the staff:
"Miss, wait a moment."
Tang You: "What's the matter?"
The staff carried a large bag with great effort and handed it to her: "You are the 1000th guest today. This is a lucky gift for you!"
Tang You: “…?”
She opened it and took a look.
It turned out to be the rabbit that she had tried so hard to catch just now.
Not only the pink one, but rabbits of almost all colors are put in this pocket.
She subconsciously looked at the claw machine she had played with.
—Sure enough, it’s empty…
The waiter gave her the bag and left. Tang You was at a loss as to what to do with the bag of "lucky gift" that had come to her inexplicably, still a little dazed.
Cheng Xuan came out of the toilet at this time, "Let's go."
"oh…"
Tang You struggled to catch up with the bag of rabbits. Cheng Xuan then noticed what she was holding: "What's so heavy?"
After Cheng Xuan came over and saw what was in the bag, he looked at Tang You with a very strange look.
Tang You was a little confused: "Why are you looking at me like that..."
"I heard a few waitresses in the restroom saying that a very handsome man wanted to buy a box of rabbits from a claw machine, but they didn't have the key to open it. The man spent 20 minutes picking out all the rabbits."
Tang You: “…”
Cheng Xuan looked at her mysteriously: "Sister, so it's for you...?"
Tang You moved his lips, confused.
"Brother Yao is still in another city for training, so it definitely can't be him. Besides, if it was him, he would definitely come to you first, so this man must be one of the people who secretly loves you."
After going out and taking a taxi, Cheng Xuan analyzed the situation to Tang You.
Tang You thought about it carefully. There were several boys in the school who had expressed their affection for her, but she rejected them all.
Who would come to help me grab the doll so late at night
Tang You couldn't figure out who it was, his eyes drifted outside, watching the passing cars, his thoughts stuck.
At this moment, she was distracted and accidentally discovered from the rearview mirror that there was a black Rolls-Royce behind them, which seemed to have been traveling with them for a long time.
Tang You always felt that this car looked familiar. Finally, at a red light, she turned around and suddenly realized what was going on after seeing the license plate number.
She saw the car at the door when she just returned home. Later she learned that Zhou Zhan was a guest at home, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Tang You seemed to have his thoughts cleared up in an instant and understood why there was a mysterious man who suddenly helped him catch the doll.
She still remembered what Zhou Yan had said before. Zhou Zhan had always had feelings for her.
He was at home just now and must have heard that I was going to Shengle Square to watch a movie.
This is too perverted and too crazy.
Tang You wanted the driver to stop the car immediately, but they couldn't stop the car anywhere on this road, so she had no choice but to let the car behind her follow her all the way.
She had Zhou Yan's phone number in her mobile phone, and in a rage, she called him -
"Director Zhou, please send me your cousin's phone number!"
Zhou Yan:
Zhou Yan, who was talking about something in the bar, didn't hear clearly, what with the doll and the stalking, plus he was already seven parts drunk, so he didn't have the patience to ask more, and simply sent Zhou Qinyao's new number to Tang You.
When I received the number, the car had just arrived at the gate of Haicheng Art College.
A Rolls-Royce was also parked on the side of the road, at a distance. Its black body was hidden in the night, and it would be difficult to notice its presence if you didn't pay attention.
Tang You got out of the car, closed the door, and dialed the number.
The action is done in one go.
Zhou Qinyao was worried that it was unsafe for the two little girls to take a taxi late at night, but he didn't want to take the initiative to approach them, so he had to follow and escort them. When he saw them arrive at the school safely and was telling Xiao Lu to drive away, his cell phone rang.
The number showed as a Haicheng number. He felt a little unfamiliar with it, but he seemed to vaguely know who was calling.
An instinct made him look up—
Sure enough, the girl who got off the taxi had a look of anger in her eyes and walked straight towards his car.
He paused and pressed the answer button.
Neither of them spoke immediately. After a few seconds of silence, Tang You suddenly spoke:
"Is that you?"
Thinking that he had been discovered, Zhou Qinyao's heart began to beat faster.
But the girl quickly walked to the back seat of the Rolls-Royce, bent down, and knocked on the window: "Mr. Zhou Zhan, are you following me?"
Zhou Qinyao: “…”
I breathed a sigh of relief but my mind wandered slightly again.
Time seemed to have gone back to a long time ago, when I first met Tang You, she followed me secretly and tried to put a big-character poster on me.
Later, he blocked her at the entrance of the alley and asked, "Soy Sauce Girl, are you following me?"
At that time, he wanted to tease her, and she was at a loss. Perhaps the seeds of her love were planted at that moment.
As time passed, it seemed to fly by. Today, as fate would have it, it was finally his turn to be blocked by her.
Light and shadow shone through the car window. Zhou Qinyao quietly looked at the fierce girl outside the window, and his heart was filled with tenderness.
I thought, no matter how much time has passed, his little girl, her eyes, her eyelashes, her dimples.
Everything about her still pleased him.
The author has something to say: This week there were some force majeure factors in life that caused unstable updates on money. I’m sorry to my darlings.
I will adjust back as soon as possible, thank you for your understanding, I hope you will continue to like Possession CP! !

◎ The Axar was discovered in South Africa, weighing 995.2 carats. It is of excellent quality, a colorless and transparent clear water diamond. It emits a weak blue fluorescence under sunlight due to ultraviolet rays, so it has a slightly light blue color. In 1903, the jeweler Henry split the original diamond and cut it into 6 pear-shaped diamonds, 5 oval-shaped diamonds, and 11 smaller round diamonds.
