Chapter 297: She's obviously 'evil-minded'
Chapter 297: She's obviously 'evil-minded'
When Mrs. Zhou and Xu Wenpei returned to the main building, Zhou Guochao had already returned to the study.
The card game in the front hall has been dispersed and the aunts are cleaning up.
After calming down, Xu Wenpei no longer dared to ask Mr. Zhou to seek justice. She even felt a little regretful that she shouldn't have blurted out Zhou Qishan's ridiculous things just now.
"Sister-in-law..." Xu Wenpei thought for a moment, then pretended to be intimate and took Mrs. Zhou's hand, "What I just told you..."
Mrs. Zhou patted the back of her hand and said, "I know it's not easy for you. Don't worry, I won't say anything too much. However, you should still have a good talk with Shanshan. Parents who are too strong will eventually push their children away."
Xu Wenpei chuckled twice, "Sister-in-law is right." She paused and deliberately changed the subject, "By the way, sister-in-law, is that Su Miao the daughter of the Su family that the old man has his eye on?"
Mrs. Zhou knew that she wouldn't listen, so she replied calmly, "Grandpa only mentioned it once."
Zhou Yanheng is the eldest grandson of the Zhou family and the future heir of the Zhou family, so the Zhou family has been looking for his other half for a long time.
Su Miao is just one of the options. The Zhou family has noticed several noble ladies in the circle, but the one they are most satisfied with is the eldest daughter of the Shen family, Shen Mianzhi.
But this matter concerns the reputation of several families, and Mrs. Zhou knows the seriousness of it and does not want to say more.
Xu Wenpei deliberately probed, "That kid seems quite clever, but he's still a far cry from our Ah Heng. Let me just say that there's no girl in Jinggang Circle worthy of our Ah Heng."
Mrs. Zhou just listened to this polite talk. She smiled and said, "I think those little girls are good. It's my little brat who's been spoiled and is becoming more and more unruly."
Xu Wenpei's smile turned sour. "Sister-in-law, don't be so modest. What girl wouldn't like a guy like our Ah Heng?"
Mrs. Zhou smiled faintly and did not respond.
Xu Wenpei suddenly thought of something, "Wasn't there a little girl in the elevator just now? Who is she from?"
"That child?" Mrs. Zhou's smile was more sincere. "She's from the Shen family. You don't often go to Jinggang Harbor, so you don't know. She's the Shen family's adopted daughter, although..."
Mrs. Zhou hadn't finished her words when Xu Wenpei, upon hearing Jiang Huashan's adopted daughter identity, looked down on her. "Adopted daughter? No wonder. She's so young and yet she's dressed up so extravagantly. You can tell she has bad intentions."
"..."
Mrs. Zhou turned her head and picked up the cup to drink tea.
Xu Wenpei didn't notice Mrs. Zhou's displeasure at all, and kept talking to herself, "I've never heard that Shanshan has such a friend. Could it be that she suddenly visited today with some ulterior motive? Sister-in-law, you must be careful!"
Mrs. Zhou put down the water cup, which was neither hot nor cold. "It's fine, what should I be careful about?"
Xu Wenpei said, "That's not the case. Girls nowadays are very thoughtful. You can't be careless."
Mrs. Zhou couldn't even keep up the perfunctory attitude. She really couldn't understand why Xu Wenpei, who were both women, could dislike her own daughter and dislike other people's daughters at the same time?
At this time, Zhou Yanheng suddenly walked in, looked around, saw no one, and turned and left.
Mrs. Zhou was having a headache. She looked up and saw Zhou Yanheng's back and immediately waved, "Ah Heng?"
Xu Wenpei also stood up to welcome him, "Ah Heng, you're back?"
Seeing he couldn't escape, Zhou Yanheng turned and walked into the main hall, nodding slightly, "Mom, Third Aunt."
Xu Wenpei smiled happily, "Do you like the new car? Are you used to driving it?"
Zhou Yanheng put on a gentle demeanor and said, "It's fine. I haven't thanked Third Aunt yet."
"What's the matter? The most important thing is that you like it."
Mrs. Zhou, "Didn't you say you were going out to dinner with Guan He and the others tonight? Why are you back again?"
Zhou Yanheng, "Come back to get something."
Mrs. Zhou nodded. "Okay, go ahead. But be careful when driving and don't drink."
"understood."
Just as Zhou Yanheng turned around, Jiang Huashan and Su Miao suddenly walked in side by side.
He was stunned for a moment, at a dilemma.
Su Miao didn't expect Zhou Yanheng to be there too. She nodded, "Brother Heng."
Jiang Huashan didn't even look at it and just passed it by.
Zhou Yanheng, "..."
Mrs. Zhou glanced at her son first, then stood up and asked, "Is that all?"
Su Miao nodded, "Well, I'm sorry to trouble you today."
Mrs. Zhou waved her hand. "What's the trouble? It's still early. Why don't you eat first?"
"No, I have something to do at home. We'll go back first." Su Miao declined directly and bowed slightly, "Goodbye, Auntie."
Jiang Huashan lowered his head slightly.
"Don't you want to eat?" Mrs. Zhou said with some regret and winked at the aunt, who immediately came forward with two exquisite gift boxes.
"This is your first time coming to my house this year. This is a small gift that Auntie prepared for you. Take it and play with it."
It was common for elders in large families to give gifts to younger generations. Jiang Huashan and Su Miao were no longer surprised and accepted the gifts calmly.
"Thank you Aunt Zhou."
After thanking her again, Mrs. Zhou asked the housekeeper to see the guest off.
After the two left, Mrs. Zhou restrained her smile and looked at Zhou Yanheng thoughtfully, "Didn't you say you were going back to your room to get something?"
Zhou Yanheng said calmly, "I just remembered that Guan He seems to have that thing too. No need to take it."
Mrs. Zhou nodded. "Then, go early and come back early?"
Zhou Yanheng glanced at Mrs. Zhou, turned and walked out of the hall.
Xu Wenpei was completely unaware of the undercurrent between the mother and son. She nodded at the door and said, "Sister-in-law, did you see that just now? I told you that the girl from the Shen family was scheming, right? She even dared to flirt with Ah Heng right in front of us!"
Mrs. Zhou picked up the water glass, her expression indifferent. "Which eye of yours saw her flirting with Ah Heng? She didn't even pay any attention to me."
That girl almost had disgust written all over her face. How interesting! There are still people who dislike this brat!
Xu Wenpei was dissatisfied, "Why not? Why didn't you pay attention to me for no reason? Aren't you just trying to attract Ah Heng's attention?"
"That's enough." Mrs. Zhou covered her forehead with her hands. "I'm tired today. I'm going back to my room to rest."

As soon as Zhou Yanheng walked out of the main hall, Guan He called.
"Brother Zuzong, are you human?"
When Zhou Yanheng chased out of the main building, Jiang Huashan and Su Miao had already boarded the sightseeing bus. He looked at one of the figures for a long time without replying.
The person on the other end of the phone was getting impatient. "What's the matter? Can't do it anymore?"
Zhou Yanheng tugged at his tie and said, "Get lost! I'll knock you over, believe it or not."
