Shen Qiaowei came to the door of Zhou Chen's bedroom on the second floor, raised her hand and knocked gently on the door twice. There was no movement in the door. Shen Qiaowei asked outside: "Zhou Chen, it's me! Shen Qiaowei."

There was no reply from inside. Just when Shen Qiaowei suspected that Zhou Chen was asleep, the door opened from the inside. Zhou Chen stood at the door and asked with a cold face: "Is something wrong?"

Shen Qiaowei really couldn't find a reason to say that she had something to do, so she had to stand at the door and said: "Grandma and aunt asked me to come and see you."

At this time, Zhou Chen frowned habitually and said to Shen Qiaowei: "I am reviewing the documents. If nothing happens, you can go down and accompany grandma."

"I..." Shen Qiaowei wanted to ask him when he would take her away from Zhou's house. Seeing that Zhou Chen just closed the door without listening, she mustered up the courage to push Zhou Chen's door open and said: "Zhou Chen, if you have any objections to me, just say it. We are now..."

"What's wrong with us now?" Zhou Chen stepped aside and said, "Since you said it today, I think we can make it clear. Come in!"

Shen Qiaowei entered Zhou Chen's bedroom for the first time. Zhou Chen had not returned home in the past few days. Her servant Ju's sister-in-law told her that there are two places in the house that she should not enter casually. One is Zhou Chen's bedroom and the other is the old man's. Relic storage room.

After arriving at Zhou Chen's room, Shen Qiaowei looked around at the simple and elegant layout in the room, then sat down on the sofa on one side. Zhou Chen saw Shen Qiaowei sitting quietly on the sofa and said: "You Don't use what happened that night as a reason to threaten me. That night was just an illusion. I also said that I am not exclusive to you because I already have someone else in my heart."

Illusion? Did he really regard her as another person that night, as he thought? Without hearing it from Zhou Chen himself, Shen Qiaowei still had a glimmer of hope. When she heard Zhou Chen say these words , Shen Qiaowei felt a pain in her heart.

"You don't think of me as Zhao Yaqi, do you?"

But Zhao Yaqi and him didn't seem to have that kind of relationship? Full of doubts, Shen Qiaowei just wanted Zhou Chen to tell her who that person was.

"It doesn't matter who it is. What's important is that the person I love is not you."

The expression on Zhou Chen's face returned to indifference, and the Zhou Chen that Shen Qiaowei saw for the first time was back.

"But grandma..."

"Yes, grandma hopes to use you to resolve the grudges between me and your father, but Shen Qiaowei, do you know? Your father and I can only be enemies in the shopping mall, but we can never become friends."

When Shen Qiaowei heard what Zhou Chen said, she felt melancholy in her heart.

"Do you hate my dad that much? I heard from my grandma that my dad once did something that made me sorry for my uncle, but he didn't cause much harm to you. Besides, you have made the company prosperous now. You I also understand that no matter in terms of age or experience, my father can never be your opponent, why can't you let him go?"

"Shen Qiaowei, please don't be so naive, okay? Don't you really not understand your father? He can use his own daughter for profit, can't he use you to achieve what he wants?"

"No, dad wouldn't do that."

For some reason, Shen Qiaowei didn't feel confident at all when she said these words. She knew that even if her father didn't want to do something, Aunt Cai would be there to help.

But today when she heard Zhou Chen talking about his father, Shen Qiaowei would rather deceive herself and find excuses for her father than admit that her biological father was such a person.

At this moment, she would rather believe that he was looking for irresponsible reasons for what he did that night than think of her father as ruthless. Thinking of this, Shen Qiaowei said: "Then you don't plan to get engaged to me." ?"

In the past few days, the old lady also said that after Zhou Chen's parents came back, she would make an appointment with Shen Qiaowei's parents and find a date to arrange the marriage. Now it seems that all this is impossible.

"I won't get engaged to you."

Zhou Chen's words echoed in her ears. When Shen Qiaowei walked down from the second floor, the old lady was watching TV in the living room. The TV was showing the story of how she and Zhou Chen were surrounded by reporters when they came out of the mall that day. In the scene, the old lady watched Shen Qiaowei coming down the stairs, quickly turned off the TV, looked at Shen Qiaowei and asked: "Is Achen handling company documents?"

Shen Qiaowei nodded weakly, and the old lady hurriedly said: "You have to be considerate of Achen. The company has many things to do, and he can't always be with you."

Shen Qiaowei nodded and sat down on the sofa. She didn't know how to tell the old lady that Zhou Chen had just said that he already had someone else in his heart. After thinking about it for a while, she had to say: "Grandma, I want to go home tomorrow. My dad called me several times in the past few days after I came out, telling me that she wanted me to go home and stay for a few days."

When she said this, Shen Qiaowei choked up in her heart, but she didn't want anyone to know the pain in her heart. She immediately took a breath and adjusted her mood and said, "The day before yesterday, my classmate called me and said he had something to look for. I, I want to deal with it."

The old lady glanced at Shen Qiaowei and said, "Xiaowei, when you enter the Zhou family's door, follow the Zhou family's rules. If you miss your father, grandma promises you that we will have a dinner together in a few days. By the way, Your marriage to Achen has been decided. During this period, you should learn etiquette from the Zhou family. After marrying Achen in the future, you can help her deal with some things on the table. I don't want outsiders to say that the daughter-in-law of our Zhou family does not understand. Etiquette."

After a pause, she pointed to the sofa and motioned for Shen Qiaowei to sit next to her, and continued: "I have made arrangements. The etiquette teacher will come to your home tomorrow to teach you. We will talk after the class is over."

"But, grandma..."

"I will do a good job over there at Achen!"

It seemed that the old lady already knew about the conversation between the two people just now, and she deliberately spoke in a nonchalant manner.

In the evening, Shen Qiaowei helped Sister Ju cook. Because Zhou Chen was at home, she asked Sister Ju specifically what Zhou Chen liked to eat, and then made steamed seabass and glutinous rice pumpkin porridge, while Shen Qiaowei waited with hope. During dinner, when I saw Zhou Chen's expression of satisfaction after eating the food she cooked, I heard footsteps coming downstairs. Zhou Chen came to the living room and greeted the old lady: "Grandma, I won't have dinner at home. I made an appointment." A friend."

When the old lady heard what her grandson said, she quickly asked: "Is there something going on at the company or is Zhao Yaqi asking you out?"

"Just leave it alone. Even if Yaqi asks me out, it's natural. When she comes back from outside, it's natural for me to treat her to a meal."

Zhou Chen spoke very softly to his grandma. It seemed that his grandma was very important in Zhou Chen's mind.

"If Yaqi invites you, take Xiaowei with you. If something happens at the company, let Xiaowei wait for you at home." When her grandson didn't speak, the old lady continued: "You don't know, because you are eating at home tonight, Xiaowei entered the kitchen early and insisted on cooking for you herself. Don't let her down."

"I know, but I really have something to do with the company."

"Then you go early and come back early. Don't go back to Ziwei Garden tonight. Come back tonight to apologize to Xiaowei."

Shen Qiaowei, who was at the door of the kitchen, heard the conversation between the old lady and Zhou Chen in her heart. She really hoped that Zhou Chen could eat the food she cooked for him tonight. But he still had to go out. As for him going out to meet Who, Shen Qiaowei didn't want to guess, she would rather believe that something was really going on in the company. When Shen Qiaowei was dazed with the food in his hand, in the quiet living room, the old lady was calling Zhao Yaqi.

"Yaqi, I am grandma, are you free tonight? If you are free, come here to accompany grandma, and talk to me about the Western view outside. You also know that at this age, grandma does not have that kind of eyesight, so she can only We only know everything about the outside world from the mouths of you young people."

The living room was quiet for a few minutes, and then the old lady's voice rang out: "I understand, if you have something to do tonight, please leave it another day."

It seems that Zhou Chen really went to have dinner with Zhao Yaqi. Since Zhao Yaqi showed off her elegant clothes, why didn't Zhou Chen declare his relationship with Zhao Yaqi? Was it Zhao Yaqi's method?

After throwing the vegetables into the pool, Shen Qiaowei told Sister-in-law Ju that she felt uncomfortable and wanted to take a rest. Seeing Shen Qiaowei's appearance, Sister-in-law Ju quickly urged her to take a rest. She walked out of the kitchen and passed by the living room on the first floor. When she arrived, Shen Qiaowei saw that there was no sign of the old lady on the sofa, and Shen Qiaowei went directly to the second floor.

When she arrived at Zhou Chen's door, Shen Qiaowei hesitated and pushed. Zhou Chen's door was open, and then walked in.

Shen Qiaowei did not dare to turn on the light, but looked at everything in Zhou Chen's room with the help of weak external light. Shen Qiaowei came to the computer desk and saw that the computer was still on, and some processed files were still on the screen. , Shen Qiaowei held the mouse, and it seemed that there was still the warmth of Zhou Chen's hand. When Shen Qiaowei sat down at the table, she found a photo on the table, turned on the flashlight of her phone, and Shen Qiaowei saw it clearly. It was taken by Zhou Chen and Zhao Yaqi together.

In the photo, Zhao Yaqi is holding Zhou Chen's neck from behind. Zhou Chen raises his right hand to support Zhao Yaqi's arm. The two people's heads are nestled together. Everyone's smile is ***. Zhou Chen and Shen Qiaowei have never looked like this. I've seen him before, and he looks completely different from his usual self.
