Chapter 24: Scheming Money Worshiping Substitute 24
“What do you want to eat tonight?”
Zhou Congli returned to the living room and saw Lin Zhi putting fruits in the refrigerator, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Ling Zhi arranged the last few mangoes neatly: "That's fine. President, are you going to do some work? Go ahead, you don't have to look at me all the time, I'll be fine by myself."
Zhou Congli hesitated: "Then I will ask my aunt to cook for you. Tell her what you want to eat. I have to go home and will be back soon."
Lin Zhi nodded: "Okay." Suddenly said, "Are you going to see Miss Li?"
Zhou Congli paused and looked at her. Lin Zhi bit her lip and talked over tea: "I shouldn't have done that again. Excuse me, I ended up living here again. If I let Miss Li know..."
Zhou Congli thought of Li Ruoyao and Zhou Ye felt cold in their hearts, but did not mention it to her, saying: "It's okay, I will explain it to her."
Ling Zhi nodded obediently: "Okay, then please pay attention to safety on the road."
Her soft long hair was hanging behind her back, she raised her head and nodded obediently towards him, which made people feel soft just by looking at her.
Zhou Congli's eyes softened: "Well, if you have something to do, send me a message."
He changed his clothes and returned to Zhou's villa.
-
The Zhou family is very lively. Li Ruoyao's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Li, and his younger brother, Li Kai, all came and sat in the living room to talk to the Zhou family's parents.
Everyone was enjoying themselves, except for Zhou Ye, who had a dark face on the side, as if someone owed him millions. Li Kai also ignored him when talking to him, glancing at Li Ruoyao from time to time.
As the protagonist tonight, Li Ruoyao is wearing a burgundy dress, has an elegant smile, and her skin looks increasingly fair.
She didn't look at Zhou Ye much and kept sitting next to Mrs. Zhou.
This caused Mrs. Li to say that she went to her mother-in-law even before she got married, laughing and joking.
Mrs. Zhou pulled Li Ruoyao with a happy face: "I have always hoped that Ruoyao would become my daughter-in-law, and now it has come true."
Li Ruoyao was very shy.
Zhou Congli walked in from the door, and everyone suddenly looked happy. Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "You're back. It's really unseemly to be busy working overtime on such a big day."
Mrs. Li quickly said: " Congli is in charge of such a big company, so he should be busy. Congli, come and sit down and take a rest."
Zhou Congli walked over and sat down on the single sofa. He greeted Mrs. Li and Father Li gently: "Uncle and aunt."
Seeing that he was not sitting next to Li Ruoyao, Mrs. Zhou was speechless. Her son was not enlightened at all, so she quickly said: "Where is the gift? Didn't you buy something for Ruoyao? "Where did you put it?"
Zhou Congli didn't say anything, and Mrs. Zhou was stunned. Didn't she even buy a gift?
The smile on her face was almost unbearable, and she turned to the housekeeper and said: "Uncle Liu, I guess this kid forgot it in the car. Go and get it back for him." She winked.
Uncle Liu understood instantly: "Okay, ma'am." He hurriedly went to Mrs. Zhou's house to pick out something, reluctantly buying it as a gift from Zhou Cong.
The room was full of people, and they all understood in an instant that Zhou Congli didn't buy it at all, but that Mrs. Zhou was just looking for compensation, but no one said it wisely, and the atmosphere became lively again.
Li Ruoyao smiled all the time, but she was so ashamed and angry that her hands almost broke.
After a while, Mother Wang came over to say that the meal was ready, and everyone moved to the restaurant to eat. At the table, the two families talked about their wedding, such as who to invite, where to hold the wedding, and other trivial matters.
In fact, these arrangements have been almost made for a long time, but the wedding is only a few days away, so the two families just have another meal to confirm.
But Zhou Congli always had a calm expression. After the whole meal, not only did Li Ruoyao look ugly, but even the Li family's parents didn't look very good. They hurriedly finished their meal and went back.
"Follow me into the study!" Mr. Zhou said coldly. Zhou Congli didn't say anything. He followed him upstairs, entered the study, and closed the door.
"Speak for yourself! What do you mean today?" Mr. Zhou looked at him coldly. Since Zhou Congli took charge of his own business, he had withdrawn from the company, but he was not angry at this moment. , you can still see the side that made people famous in Dongning back then.
Zhou Congli's voice was calm: "I want to cancel this marriage, or I can change it to Zhou Ye."
Crash——
Things on the table fell to the ground, and Mr. Zhou laughed angrily : "What nonsense are you talking to me? What do you think of this marriage? What do you think of your brother?"
Zhou Congli didn't say anything and seemed to have made up his mind.
Mr. Zhou was immediately annoyed: "What on earth do you want to do? The two families are getting married, this is not a joke. You and Li Ruoyao have been engaged for several years. You will not leave sooner or later, but it is a prerequisite for marriage. Do you want to make enemies with the Li family?”
"Tell me, do you have someone outside?"
"If you do, keep him outside. I don't care about you, but the wedding must go ahead."
"Although the Li family is not as good as our family, But it’s not bad, it’s a big deal, If I fight you to the death, Dongning will at least lose his skin!"
Zhou Congli: "...Dad, how do you know, Zhou Ye and Li Ruoyao? Not willing? ”
Mr. Zhou's angry expression suddenly paused, and he looked at his eldest son suspiciously: "What do you mean? Isn't that boy Zhou Ye just a little closer to Li Ruoyao, and you are even jealous? They have always been good friends since childhood, and you are not I don’t know.”
Zhou Congli wants to get married. What happened in the yarn shop, the two of them looked strange, sighed: "Dad, you left Dongning to me without asking Zhou Ye's opinion, but in fact, he is also qualified to enter Dongning."
Zhou Ye The husband was irritated: "Your brother is not that good. He only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. You're such an idiot. If you let him go to work, he can cry for you. Besides, Dongning is developing very well in your hands. What does he have to say if he just spends money while lying down?"
Zhou Congli just looked at him. : "This is your opinion. You want Zhou Ye to be a rice bug, but this is not necessarily his opinion." "
Mr. Zhou stared at him and saw that his eldest son was no longer joking. He frowned a little: "What did your brother do to make you have to make such a fuss? , or he and Li Ruoyao really..."
Zhou Congli remained silent, but his expression said everything.
Mr. Zhou couldn't help but hold his forehead: "Go out and let me think about it!"
If this is true, it will be a huge scandal for the Zhou family.
Zhou Congli walked out without saying anything. Mr. Zhou picked up his mobile phone and ordered: "Check what that boy Zhou Ye did!"
The whole villa was quiet, and Zhou Congli was not in the mood to stay. Here, I went downstairs and was about to leave. Suddenly I heard a sound not far away. I turned around and saw a man and a woman tugging at each other.
Suddenly they seemed to notice him, and the two stopped. After a while, Zhou Ye came over and said, "Brother?"
Li Ruoyao followed him with a perfect smile: "Congli, are you leaving so late?"
Zhou Congli stared at her. When he took a closer look, he realized that her hair was slightly messy, her lipstick was smudged, and her stockings were torn.
He sighed slightly. It seemed that he had delayed their affairs.
He said to Zhou Ye: "Come out, I have something to tell you."
