Depressed wife runs with the ball

Chapter 124 Sleeping in separate rooms

Chu Jinyue didn't stay in Qiancheng for long. On the one hand, he felt that living with Zhou Xingzhi was not a good place, and on the other hand, he had nothing to do in Qiancheng. After visiting Anjie for a few days, Xiao Yuchen took him to visit the new equipment in the factory and report on the company's recent business situation.

Xiao Yuchen and Chu Jinyue got along quite well and even made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening. Zhou Xingzhi was very pleased to hear Xiao Yuchen's report. During dinner, he proudly said to Chu Yue, "Actually, this Yuchen is still quite useful."

"Who is Yuchen?" Chu Yue remembered people's names but not their faces, and vice versa. "Anjie's professional manager." Zhou Xingzhi was quite satisfied with her reaction.

"Oh. Jin Yue has been hanging out with him recently, which is good." Chu Yue has been very busy with work recently and has no time to take care of him.

"Did he drive a car when he returned home?" Zhou Xingzhi gave him a Mercedes-Benz and seemed to be quite used to it. "You have a Mercedes-Benz at home, so you should know how to drive it." Before this, Chu Yue didn't even know he had any other cars besides the Maybach.

"It's better to get in touch with Manager Xiao earlier. It will be easier to take over the company later. He is still ambitious."

Chu Yue nodded. She didn't know if Chu Jinyue had inherited her mother's preference for boys over girls, but she did inherit her ambition. After dinner, both of them were busy with work in the study.

It was past 10 p.m. when Chu Jinyue returned. Xiao Yuchen showed him a pile of reports: production data, financial statements, and some order contracts. Seeing the two of them in the study, typing away at their computers, his sister frowning, he didn't want to interrupt. He sat on the sofa in the living room, pulled out his computer, projected the screen onto the TV, and began to look at the boring data.

Xinghui is currently planning to acquire several small tech companies, and is still researching their prospects. Zhou Xingzhi plans to call back a classmate from his time abroad to oversee the acquisition; he's busy negotiating with the board of directors and has no time to worry about the acquisition.

The old men in the investment department could only send all the information to Chu Yue, and Chu Yue also attended the meeting. The old men talked to each other at the meeting, and they didn't know how they started arguing.

What Zhou Xingzhi said was that the investment department has some conservatives, some adventurous people, and a few neutral trash, so every project will take several arguments before reaching a conclusion.

After reading the information from the investment department, he saw Chu Jinyue asleep on the sofa, with Anjie's financial data still on the big screen. Chu Yue picked up the remote control to turn off the TV, and slammed his computer shut, waking up in shock.

"Sister, why are you so busy?" Chu Jinyue opened his eyes in a daze, straightened his back, turned on the computer, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and then turned it off.

"Are you going to the United States tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? I'll buy you a plane ticket. Is the 20 yuan in your card enough to last you until graduation?" Chu Yue heated a cup of milk and handed it to him.

"Sister, Mom actually doesn't agree with you marrying Zhou Xingzhi. She always thinks Dad's death is related to the Zhou family." Seeing that Zhou Xingzhi was not around, Chu Jinyue seized the opportunity to tell her about his mother's opinions when he visited her in prison.

Chu Yue could probably guess her mother's attitude, so she sat on the sofa and started a heart-to-heart talk with her brother. "You don't like him, Mom doesn't like him either, and his parents don't agree. What should I do?"

The younger brother didn't know what to say for a moment. In the past, this sister never cared about her family's opinions on any decision she made, but when it comes to getting married, she should hope for everyone's blessings, right?

"Sister, wait until I graduate and start making money, and I'll prepare a generous dowry for you. I know you're not in control of many things after Dad left, but don't worry, with me as your brother, I'll make sure you can do whatever you want wherever you want."

Zhou Kecheng hadn't met Chu Yue alone yet, and she was unsure. "Have you been back to the Chu family to check?"

Chu Jinyue nodded and drank the milk.

"When you come back and take over the company, Mom won't have so many worries, right?" Chu Yue thought that if he didn't interfere with any of the Chu family's money or inheritance and gave it all to his younger brother, Huang Yunfu would be able to let go of his prejudice.

Zhou Xingzhi finished his work and went back to his room to sleep. He didn't see Chu Yue, so he went downstairs to look for her. The two siblings were sitting on the sofa in the living room chatting. He sat on the armrest of the sofa, put his arm around Chu Yue's shoulders and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk about some family matters. Are you done with your work?" Chu Yue looked up at him.

"There's no end to the work. The board of directors is full of old hands. I can't think of a good way to get rid of them all at once, so I can only talk to them one by one." He helped the man up and went back to his room to sleep.

Zhou Kecheng still found Chu Yue and met her downstairs of Xinghui Building. He did not directly talk about their marriage, but talked about Chu Jie'an's car accident.

"Mr. Zhou, do you know my father?" Chu Yue went downstairs, avoiding Zhou Xingzhi while he was meeting with the board of directors.

"Ms. Chu, your father's death is indeed related to Ji Huai. If he hadn't answered my son's call, he wouldn't have been rear-ended by that truck. The police have been unable to determine the outcome of the accident, firstly because of the driver's confession, and secondly because the main responsibility lies with your father." Zhou Kecheng didn't believe that she could still marry her son with peace of mind after knowing this fact.

"I believe Miss Chu is not someone who goes back on her word." Mr. Zhou was not used to coffee, and the tea in the coffee shop downstairs also smelled of coffee. After explaining things clearly, he left.

Jin Yue flew to the United States, and Lao Ji and Su Ying didn't contact her. Every day, apart from being busy with work, she would build Legos at home, and occasionally go out to play with Zhou Xingzhi. Her life seemed to be getting narrower and narrower.

After talking with the old man, Chu Yue felt relieved. She also understood why Zhou Xingzhi had never told her much about her father's case. He probably knew that Chu Jie'an was the main responsible party.

He had a social event that evening; the new industrial park was about to be completed, and several people from the district government wanted to meet him. He asked the driver to take Chu Yue home first, and Chu Yue asked the driver to turn around and go to Ji Yan Bar halfway.

The young model Zhou Jihuai raised became pregnant, and went directly to Xinghan Entertainment to provoke Mo Xiaoxiao. Mo Xiaoxiao was too lazy to pay attention to her, so she went to Xingyao Real Estate and slapped Zhou Jihuai in the face, asking him to handle it himself, otherwise she would let the old man come out to handle it for him.

Because of Chu Jie'an's matter, the old man had already taught him a lesson. He also used many connections to help him deal with An Jie's tax invoices. If he offended the daughter-in-law he personally chose, he might kick him out of the house.

The bar has now become a place where Mo Xiaoxiao relaxes. She comes here every night for a drink or two before leaving. She wasn't surprised to see Chu Yue. It wasn't surprising that she would come after not hearing from Lao Ji for so long.

As New Year's Day approached, there weren't many people in the bar, and it was relatively quiet this time. Chu Yue, who didn't drink, sat at the bar wondering, "Why haven't Lao Ji and Su Ying contacted me?"

Mo Xiaoxiao scoffed. This girl really didn't know. "Come to think of it, I've never seen Xingzhi treat any woman so tenderly."

"What?" Chu Yue didn't understand. Why did Ji Yan and Su Ying mention Zhou Xingzhi?

"Oh, you really don't know? These two people didn't contact you because Zhou Xingzhi didn't let them contact you." Mo Xiaoxiao also heard it from Ji Yan.

Chu Yue looked at Mo Xiaoxiao with confusion. These two people had not offended Zhou Xingzhi, so why couldn't they contact her?

"Didn't the old man say anything to you? Does he really agree with you two getting married?" Mo Xiaoxiao was not optimistic about the two getting married, mainly because she felt that Zhou Xingzhi was not very worthy of Chu Yue.

She still remembered what the girl had said at the Youth Art Festival, in response to those online rumors: "We are free, our ego, our id, our superego." For a girl who could be so carefree in the face of her family of origin, marrying into the Zhou family wasn't a good thing.

Chu Yue tapped the bar counter with his index finger thoughtfully.

When Zhou Xingzhi returned, he had drunk quite a bit. Chu Yue helped him back to his room and laid him down. She washed his face, changed his clothes, and tucked him in. She pulled over a dressing stool and sat by the bed for a long moment before returning to the master bedroom to sleep.
