bar.

Before Chen Xiuxiao left, he had a small gathering with several friends. They drank almost all of the wine, and the friends began to talk indiscriminately.

Someone said angrily, "Zhou Yanhuai has gone too far. He said he would send you abroad just as he said he would send you abroad. Now that your daughter is hospitalized, he still won't let you stay and take care of her?"

Another said, "I mean, Xiuxiao, how can a brother-in-law do this? He has to separate his sister's family in two places. He disrespects you so much. Does he really think you are his son-in-law?"

Chen Xiuxiao had a gloomy look on his face when he heard this. He finished the wine in one gulp and put down the glass heavily.

A friend also said, "Zhou Yanhuai still cares about other people's housework, and his own behind is not clean - I saw him going to the hotel two nights ago. It is said that he has had a woman in the suite for I don't know how long...

…”

Chen Xiuxiao looked up.

The man swore firmly, "I'm not lying. It's in the Tianxi Hotel next door. Her name is Xu... She is now a hot painter, and it was Zhou Yanhuai who promoted her."

——

At night, Xu Zhaning paced back and forth anxiously in the room.

As expected, Zhou Yanhuai sent someone to keep an eye on her. As soon as she opened the door in the past two days, someone would stop her.

Xu Zhining was depressed when her cell phone rang. When she saw the unfamiliar number, she picked up the call with suspicion.

The male voice on the other end was also a little unfamiliar, but he was very familiar with her situation when he spoke, "Xu Zhanning, right? You were imprisoned by Zhou Yanhuai, right?"

"Who are you? How do you know?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that you and I have common needs and can help each other."

…

The next morning, after the company's regular meeting, Zhou Yanhuai stopped Zhou Qiongzi and Jing Kuan.

Zhou Qiongzi knew what he was going to say, so she spoke first, "Yanhuai, I agree with letting Xiu Xiao come back. What mom said is right. Zhen Zhen really needs her father's company. He and I... after all, we have been married for so many years."

Seeing that she didn't have much confidence in what she said, Zhou Yanhuai's attitude was very tough, "It's only been a few months, and there's not enough time. I'll give him a cold shoulder for three or two years, and then you'll see what he looks like. Will he be qualified to be your husband by then?"

, being Zhenzhen’s father is obvious at a glance.”

"This is too cruel of you. Do you know what it means to have a family separated for two or three years?" Zhou Qiongzi was filled with worry. Seeing his indifferent expression, she said angrily, "That's easy to say. Try talking to Shen Wei."

Su has been away from home for three years. See if she is still your wife by then!"

Zhou Yanhuai's eyes were slightly cold, "Don't confuse the concepts. It's your marriage that's in trouble now. I didn't agree with your vision at the beginning."

Zhou Qiongzi retorted, "I don't agree with your view either, as if there is no problem in your marriage! Shen Weisu has moved out of Lanyuan, do you think no one knows?"

Seeing that the siblings were about to quarrel, Jing Kuan said, "Miss, Mr. Chen should be going to the airport, should you go and see him off?"

Zhou Qiongzi rolled her eyes at her younger brother, turned around and followed Jing Kuan out of the office.

The two of them walked to the elevator together, and Zhou Qiongzi couldn't help but say, "Did you hear what he said was human language? How could he be such a younger brother? He lacks great virtue."

Jing Kuan said, "Mr. Zhou is doing this for your own good. He won't talk about caring."

Zhou Qiongzi also knew Zhou Yanhuai's intentions, but she felt very conflicted. On the one hand, she felt that Zhenzhen needed her father, but on the other hand, she had not completely let go of the incident with Chen Xiuxiao.

She is not stupid, and everyone in the Zhou family is not stupid. They are just turning a blind eye because of her.

Zhou Qiongzi sighed and glanced at Jingkuan, "I'll drive there myself. I'll leave the meeting with the client to you."

Jing Kuan walked away in a measured manner.

Zhou Qiongzi drove to find Chen Xiuxiao. He had a flight in the afternoon. Before leaving, he went to the hospital to stay with Zhen Zhen for a while.

The family of three spent a short time together, and then Zhou Qiongzi sent him off.

Chen Xiuxiao took her hand and said, "Honey, how did you tell Yan Huai?"

"I'm sorry, Xiu Xiao."

Seeing Zhou Qiongzi's troubled expression, Chen Xiuxiao knew the result.

Pretending to be calm, he said, "Forget it, I didn't protect you well. It's normal for your brother to be angry with me - I don't know when I will come back after leaving. You take care of yourself and Zhen Zhen."

After saying that, he lowered his head and wanted to kiss her, but Zhou Qiongzi subconsciously tensed up. Chen Xiuxiao had no choice but to kiss her forehead, "The driver is waiting for me, I'm leaving."

Zhou Qiongzi watched him get into the car and couldn't help but feel sore in her nose. She even almost asked him to stay impulsively.

However, the past pierced her heart like a thorn, giving her no peace for a moment.

Since she lost the child, she has not had any close contact with Chen Xiuxiao for several months.

This time when he came back, he expressed that he wanted to be intimate with her, but as soon as he got close, she instinctively rejected him, and he didn't force it. The couple lay together, without the intimacy of the past, only becoming more and more terrifyingly strange.

Zhou Qiongzi got into the car and felt that her throat was not feeling well, so she picked up the thermos cup placed beside her.

The warm water had a faint fragrance of flowers and medicine - Jing Kuan made it for her. He was young and had the same habits as an old man, so he was very healthy.

After her throat felt better, Zhou Qiongzi sat for a while and drove back to the company.

But before arriving at the company, the phone rang quickly.
