Xu Xiaoai ate a dumpling.
She looked at Zhou Lin, her eyes rolled...
He is also eating dumplings gracefully.
When the food in his mouth was gone, he wiped his mouth with a napkin, turned his head and smiled and said to the group of people, "Grandpa, father... have you had breakfast yet?"
Xu Xiaoai's gaze shifted to those people.
The old man who was supported by Zhou Liang stared at Xu Xiaoai closely, with a somewhat unfriendly expression on his face. On the left hand side of the old man is a middle-aged man who looks elegant and handsome.
That middle-aged man...
It should be Zhou Lin's father, right
Xu Xiaoai's eyes slid directly past the middle-aged man, and turned to smile at the old man.
"Grandpa, don't be angry, Miss Xu is in a trance because... her daughter is lost." Zhou Liang, who was supporting the old man, said in a low voice.
Xu Xiaoai stared at Zhou Liang and ate another dumpling.
——Zhou Liang is quite an interesting person. Didn't she just make him suffer last time? So this time he insisted on taking revenge and telling Mr. Zhou that she was mentally abnormal? This man is too stingy!
Xu Xiaoai's mind was spinning fast, and his mouth couldn't stop, and he ate another dumpling.
If you don't eat enough, you really can't handle it for a while.
Presumably this white-haired old man should be Zhou Lin and Zhou Lin's grandfather.
With Zhou Liang's support, Mr. Zhou walked towards Xu Xiaoai and Zhou Lin, and then sat down between them.
Xu Xiaoai thought for a while, moved one of the untouched dumplings in the direction of Zhou's grandfather, and said, "Grandpa Zhou, Happy New Year... These are dumplings made by Zhou Lin, stuffed with cabbage and meat, very good food… "
As soon as she finished speaking, the Zhou family gasped in unison.
All eyes were on Zhou Lin.
— it's unbelievable! Zhou Lin actually cooks for this woman
The grandfather of the Zhou family also took a look at Zhou Lin, and said coldly, "I didn't know until now that I am not as lucky as Miss Xu, and I don't know if I can still have a bite of the dumplings made by you in my lifetime."
Zhou Lin smiled, and said lightly, "... poisonous."
Xu Xiaoai opened her mouth wide.
The old man's face was a little livid.
After a while, he suddenly turned his head and said to Xu Xiaoai, "Miss Xu... I know that your child is lost. It is a heavy blow to you. In fact, I am also very grateful that you have been by my side all these years. By Ah Lin's side. However, what I want to tell you is... you and Ah Lin are not suitable."
Xu Xiaoai ate another dumpling.
From the moment the Zhou family came to the door, she had guessed that something like this might happen.
Whether she and Zhou Lin are suitable, no one else needs to tell her.
However, Zhou Lin helped her a lot...
And judging from the current situation, the Zhou family's attitude towards Zhou Rin is actually to attack Zhou Lin in groups
He was at Zhou's house... What kind of life is he living!
Xu Xiaoai quickly made a decision.
"Well, the child is lost...it's okay! I'll have another one. Zhou Lin, you need to dip the dumplings in vinegar... Where's the vinegar?" She squinted at Zhou Lin, and her voice carried a deliberately feigned charm .
Zhou Lin took a look at her, then got up and went to the kitchen to get her vinegar.
The Zhou family once again petrified on the spot!
— If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that Zhou Lin would listen to this sloppy woman! Do not! He simply treated her as his ancestor...
Mr. Zhou's white beard trembled a little.
While Zhou Lin was leaving, Mr. Zhou said to Xu Xiaoai in a deep voice, "...Miss Xu, you are a divorced woman, even if you gave birth to a child for Ah Lin, you are not worthy to be with him... Please You leave him as soon as possible, don't delay Ah Lin's marriage."
Although she had thought that the Zhou family would use this trick to drive her away, and Xu Xiaoai had already been mentally prepared, but when she heard that Zhou Lin might marry another woman, Xu Xiaoai's heart was full. It was still like being pricked by a needle... It started to hurt sharply, and it continued, seemingly without end.
why
She has always seen her identity clearly - Zhou Lin will definitely marry other famous ladies in the future, and she has been warning herself not to have any unreasonable thoughts, but...
Zhou Lin walked towards her with a plate of vinegar.
Xu Xiaoai smiled, and said to Mr. Zhou, "...Did you underestimate me too much? As long as I am here, Zhou Lin will not marry another woman. If you don't believe me, try it?"
Everyone in the Zhou family petrified once again.
Mr. Zhou was so angry that he gasped heavily.
Zhou Lin smiled and glanced at her with encouragement.
"You! You are just... greedy for our Zhou family's money!" Mr. Zhou said angrily.
Xu Xiaoai smiled, "You're not completely wrong. Zhou Lin is rich, since I'm with him, why don't I enjoy it? However, what you said is not completely right... Even if I want to enjoy it, that's okay. It only cost Zhou Lin's money, but not a penny from the Zhou family... "
This is her wild guess.
—Zhou Lin made it clear that he didn't want to see Zhou's family, and didn't even go back on New Year's Eve. Now that the Zhou family is here, I don't see how enthusiastic he is. Since he has such confidence, it proves that he must have wealth that is not controlled by the Zhou family, so...
The eyes of everyone in the Zhou family fell out of their sockets!
They have never seen such an arrogant woman...
But every word she said could not be refuted.
Zhou Lin is no longer what it used to be. The consortium he created with the help of his natal family far exceeds Zhou's. Now if the Zhou family wants to remain invincible in the business field, they must rely more or less on Zhou Lin one or two. The more this happened, the less the Zhou family wanted to let go of Zhou Lin.
Originally, they thought they could handle Zhou Lin's marriage.
Until a mistress and an illegitimate daughter suddenly appeared beside Zhou Rin... Later, they heard that Zhou Rin seemed to have an unusual love for this mistress, and the Zhou family began to worry.
They don't mind how many mistresses Zhou Lin has, how many illegitimate children he has... But according to Zhou Lin's attitude towards female sex in the past thirty years, I'm afraid this mistress holds a lot of weight in his heart.
How can this work!
The Zhou family is also counting on using Zhou Lin's marriage to bind the Huang's consortium!
Mr. Zhou stared at Xu Xiaoai coldly, his face frosty.
"Xiaoai!" Zhou Lin interrupted Xu Xiaoai seemingly helplessly, but in fact, Xu Xiaoai had already said everything she wanted to say.
"Grandfather, Xiaoai is spoiled by me, don't be as knowledgeable as her," Zhou Lin said.
There was an uncontrollable smile on his mouth, and the helpless and doting eyes he looked at Xu Xiaoai made all the Zhou family members present feel... an indescribable feeling.
Look at this Miss Xu...
She was wearing flower cotton pajamas, her hair was messy, and although her facial features were beautiful...but she only looked above average, except for the sharp mouth, there was nothing outstanding about her.
Zhou Lin was really blind to fall in love with her!
Mr. Zhou took a deep breath, and another deep breath. After barely calming down, he said in a deep voice, "A Lin, I don't care what you do outside, but starting a family is a big deal, you can't be too willful..."
"Thank you grandfather for reminding me, I will consider it carefully." Zhou Lin replied politely.
Seeing that he knew how to advance and retreat, Mr. Zhou's face softened a little, and he stood up and prepared to leave.
Zhou Lin also stood up and sent Mr. Zhou to the hall.
Xu Xiaoai thought for a while, then stood up, and followed Zhou Lin towards the hall.
She didn't ignore the disdainful eyes of everyone.
As soon as the Zhou family walked out of the hall, Xu Xiaoai said in a moderate voice, "... When the second uncle and the younger uncle came to the house just now, they gave me a black card as lucky money. It's big for Chinese New Year. There are so many people in the Zhou family, why don't they even give a red envelope, don't say that the Zhou family is about to go bankrupt... "
Mr. Zhou staggered, but fortunately, Zhou Liang and Father Zhou helped him stabilize himself.
"Xiao Ai! Don't say a few words, the red envelope is a trivial matter, I'll just give it to you later..." Zhou Lin said in a low voice.
It would be fine if Zhou Lin didn't say this, but if he did... he was just making up for it!
The expressions of everyone in the Zhou family were not very good, and Mr. Zhou was so angry that he gasped heavily...
After Zhou's family had finished leaving, Xu Xiaoai glared at Zhou Lin, put his hands on his hips, and said bitterly, "Why didn't you close the door just now? You just opened the door so carelessly to let others in? It's Chinese New Year, What if it was a thief who came here? Kill me and silence me before leaving traces..."
Zhou Lin suddenly said, "...Father?"
Xu Xiaoai was taken aback.
She turned her head and saw Father Zhou with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"A Lin, I... I want to say a few words to you." Father Zhou said directly to Zhou Lin without even looking at Xu Xiaoai.
When I think of Mengmeng's biological father, it is very likely...
Xu Xiaoai suddenly felt very disgusted with this elegant and handsome middle-aged man in front of him.
However, he is Zhou Lin's father after all, and it is understandable that the father and son want to talk in private. But before Xu Xiaoai could move her footsteps, Zhou Lin stretched out her arms and took her into his arms.
"Please tell me."
That's what he said, but his body language has clearly rejected Zhou's father.
Father Zhou glanced at Xu Xiaoai with a complicated expression.
The father and son were silent for a while, and Zhou's father said softly, "... I know, because of your mother's death, you have always hated me and always blamed me for being partial to Ah Liang... But have you ever thought about it? He has suffered no less than you, and he has not received as much support as you. Look, at least you have a capable wife... "
"But don't forget that you were supported by the Zhou family when you were young, and now you are the heir of the Zhou family. Whether the Zhou family can flourish in the future depends on you... We are always a family of blood. They can't tell each other apart..." Father Zhou said in a low voice.
As he said that, he glanced at Xu Xiaoai again, and said suggestively, "...you will understand later that responsibility is responsibility, and you cannot shirk it..."
Zhou Lin just smiled and said nothing.
After waiting for Zhou Lin's answer for a long time, Zhou's father finally turned around and left sadly.
This time, Xu Xiaoai broke free from Zhou Lin's restraint, ran to the door and closed it with her own hands.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Lin looked at her and suddenly laughed.
"Crazy!" Xu Xiaoai rolled his eyes at him, cursed again, and walked upstairs angrily.
To say that she is not so sloppy at ordinary times...
It was the only time in his life that he went downstairs to eat breakfast in his pajamas, but he happened to meet two groups of his family members. What a shame!
"Someone may come later... If it's annoying, let's go now, okay?" Zhou Lin said with a smile, "...so I used to spend Chinese New Year abroad, just because I was afraid of trouble..."
Xu Xiaoai gave him another look, wrapped her pajamas tightly and hurried upstairs.
