Chapter 127 Ruined the Marriage
As the car drove towards the old house, Zhou Yubai vaguely remembered that it was a night like this many years ago.
The old man rushed back from outside and asked him if he was awake.
After asking back and forth, he only said one sentence, that he wanted to marry her home in an upright manner.
The determination that never wavered even when the stick fell on him was only broken through the fog today, allowing people to see a little glimmer of light.
It's just that years have passed, and there is no longer anyone around him. Facing this glimmer of light, there is no joy anymore, only a purposeless nothingness remains.
There is still no response from the call I dialed not long ago, and the burning pain seems to be returning to the skin where the cigarette was pressed between my knuckles.
Zhou Yubai said in the silence, "Chengliang, book a flight ticket to Shanghai for tomorrow morning."
He wanted to see her, even if it was just from a distance.
Song Chengliang nodded, looking at Zhou Yubai with a bit of worry in his eyes.
The car was almost driving to the old house. Zhou Yubai had just said a few days ago that the marriage would not work out, so it was obvious whether something like this happened today was a coincidence or intentional.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
The light and shadow of the deep mansion gradually appeared in his eyes. Zhou Yubai opened the car door with a calm expression, opened the door, and walked alone into the light.
The figure is lonely, and the scent of sandalwood faintly lit in the room permeates the cold wind and penetrates into the nose and heart, but it cannot calm down the raging fire ignited in this winter.
Zhou Junzhi's car was going to arrive a few minutes early, and Luo Ziyu stopped him at the door: "What on earth did you do to make your grandfather so angry?"
Zhou Yubai raised his eyes slightly, and now he had nothing to hide, so he spoke calmly and said: "Ruin this marriage."
Luo Ziyu's figure shook. Although it was not unexpected, it was When I heard him say it without any restraint, my heart couldn't help but tremble.
Everyone already knows who it is for.
Luo Ziyu released his hold on his hand, but was helpless after all about his stubbornness: "Go in, your grandpa is waiting for you."
When he entered the room, Wu Yingxiu was walking from I came downstairs and asked the old man: "You're back? Why did you take the medicine?"
Zhou Yubai quickly stepped forward and helped the old lady sit down. Then he walked to the old man and called out in a low voice: "Grandpa."
Zhou Junzhi took a deep breath and looked at him sharply, "You are teasing me. Have you read it, are you satisfied?”
Originally, he was still wondering why the person who had been so sworn in a few days ago was so obedient at this dinner tonight, without even the slightest pushback.
I had specially rehearsed this play for him to see, clearly telling him that the Wang family was full of gold and jade, but everything was ruined.
Leave aside the fact that Wang Yu has an illegitimate child, and just talk about Wang Wanyuan's ruthless methods, the old man will definitely not consider this marriage again.
"It's really hard for you to wait until today." Zhou Junzhi snorted coldly.
Zhou Yubai seemed not to hear the irony in the old man's words, and replied seriously: "It's a little slow."
Slowly enough, the little girl beside him had already left him.
This move was laid out step by step. He could only wait for Wang Daiyan to recognize the Wang family, and for the chips in his hand to be valued enough by Wang Yu.
The matter of breaking off the engagement should either start with the Wang family or the old man.
He carefully considered that if he wanted to overthrow the Wang family, it would first create enemies for the Zhou family, which would attract trouble, which would not be a wise move.
The second is that it will only take longer. Even if it is an illegitimate child, for Wang Yu, it is just a matter of personal style. With Wang Yu's status, it is not enough to make waves.
The appearance of Wang Daiyan is the breaking point. Although this person is lazy, he is better because of his relatively simple mind. Growing up in such a family, he pursues a stable life of eating, drinking and having fun more than power. Although neither he nor his mother fought over it, Wang Wanyuan was unwilling to let him go.
Wang Daiyan had to find another way out, but his status in the Wang family was really too dispensable, and he was not even qualified to become a negotiating condition.
If he acted rashly, he would most likely become an abandoned child abandoned by the Wang family.
Wang Daiyan needs a condition that can make Wang Yu pay attention and be enough to check and balance Wang Wanyuan.
Only by grasping this condition can he survive such a desperate situation today.
In the past six months, Zhou Yubai has been working hard for this step by step.
It was only today that this scene was used to let the old man see clearly that the Wang family was infighting, had bad family traditions, and had vicious thoughts. No matter what, it was not enough to become a candidate for marriage with the Zhou family.
Zhou Junzhi looked at his unrepentant look and was furious, "You! You made a deal with an illegitimate child, you can't even think of it!"
"Are you planning to take advantage of yourself or take advantage of that girl? Home last week?”
Zhou Yubai lowered his eyes to listen to the instruction.
Zhou Junzhi's cane struck loudly: "You are so bold now, what if anything went wrong in this?"
"You messed up his Wang family today by playing along with him. The world is upside down, but if he notices it, it’s not impossible to give you a stumbling block before retreating.”
"Zhou Yubai, you are sitting too securely, and you have to let yourself fall to be satisfied, right?"
Wu Yingxiu was listening and guessed most of it. No wonder Zhou Yubai begged her to let her persuade her. Well, in the final analysis, what he did was really risky. In the final analysis, it was all based on a gamble.
Wu Yingxiu coughed a few times, stood up and walked to Zhou Junzhi to help him calm down: "The matter is a foregone conclusion, what's the use of scolding him anymore."
Zhou Junzhi is in trouble. Zhou Yubai He glanced at it and said in a solemn tone: "What's the deal? Don't think that I don't know what he is thinking, what? There is no other family except the Wang family!"
The sandalwood burned out and the ashes fell without a trace.
Zhou Yubai was not surprised when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Grandpa, now that I have done this, you will admit it even if you want to beat or scold me."
"But..." He paused After a pause, "Even if I make a reservation with another house, if I don't want to, I'm afraid you will have to annoy me a few more times."
"You!" Zhou Junzhi's breathing became a little rapid.
“Yu Bai, stop talking!” Wu Yingxiu’s expression became solemn while stroking Zhou Junzhi’s back.
Afraid that something might happen to the old man, Zhou Mingyi had already gone to call a doctor, and Luo Ziyu also came to help him: "Go back first, and we will talk about this later."
Zhou Yubai sighed softly, poured a cup of hot water for the old man and handed it to him.
Zhou Junzhi was still angry, put the cup on the table, and cursed coldly: "Get out!"
Zhou Yubai seemed to turn a deaf ear, slowly bent his back, and half-knelt in front of Zhou Junzhi Then he took the hot water again and said in a much lighter tone: "Grandpa, I didn't forget about my body." What a burden I have to bear, and I have never let go of it along the way."
"I know you are doing it for my own good, and you want to make my future journey easier."
< br>"But if this easy gain requires me to give up on her, then I would rather walk slower and be more tired."
Zhou Junzhi was still stubborn. Although his face was still stubborn, his tone softened a lot: "I think you have been fascinated by her and lost your soul."
Zhou Yubai just smiled and saw Zhou Junzhi's complexion improved a little, and then he said with a hint of arrogance : "Old man, after all, you brought me here with your own hands. Why don't you believe me? The road I walk with ease is not necessarily higher or farther than the one I walked on by myself."
