281 Whose Dowry
The butler smiled and said: "Please come in, the food is already being prepared in the kitchen. How about you go to the front hall to have tea with the master first?"
The expression on Ke Mingyu's face was very restrained when he was called. He was not good at handling such occasions. As the unpopular son of a side branch, he did not even have the opportunity to attend a serious high-end banquet.
Not to mention the threshold of a high door like the Zhou family, even stepping in makes my legs weak from nervousness.
Zhou Shan really looked down on her husband's unattractive appearance, and the disgust on her face was plain to see.
"What are you doing standing there, why don't you hurry up and walk in!" Zhou Shan was actually unhappy about marrying Ke Mingyu.
No matter how the daughter of my dignified Zhou family marries someone like Ke Mingyu, she is marrying low.
If Ke Mingyu hadn't been obedient to her all these years, she would have been unable to survive this terrible marriage.
"Miss Tang, why should you be angry? I think it's my first time for my cousin to come here, so I'm a little nervous." The housekeeper smiled and smoothed things over, saying, "I'll just take you two over."
Zhou Shan naturally said yes with a smile, and ignored her submissive husband along the way, chatting with the housekeeper about trivial matters.
Almost at the same time Zhou Shan and Ke Mingyu arrived at Zhou's house, Zhou Jingwei received the news.
Zhou Siheng was originally reading documents on the sofa nearby. When he heard Chen Yi'an's report, he raised his lips and said, "Shall I go back with you to take a look?"
Zhou Jingwei pinched his eyebrows, and his eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were a bit cold.
He acquiesced to Zhou Siheng's proposal and walked out.
As for the Zhou family on the other side, soon after passing through the winding corridor, Zhou Shan saw Zhou Bingquan sitting in the front hall.
Zhou Bingquan wore a Chinese tunic suit today. He was in good spirits. His hair was newly dyed black, and he looked very popular.
Seeing Zhou Shan and Ke Mingyu walking in, he smiled and said, "Come and sit."
Zhou Shan was not nervous just now, but when she saw Zhou Bingquan, she still felt a sense of awe and fear in her heart.
Zhou Bingquan has accumulated a lot of authority in the Zhou family over the years, and he feels quite coercive in front of people like them.
"Hello, cousin." Zhou Shan shouted with a smile. After shouting, she glared at Ke Mingyu who was standing aside: "Speak!"
Ke Mingyu shivered for a long time, but still couldn't hold back a single word.
Zhou Shan was really depressed, but Zhou Bingquan smiled easily and said: "My cousin-in-law is indeed an introvert and gentle character, so there is no need to force it. Just have a meal as a family."
Zhou Shan said yes while silently observing Zhou Bingquan's face.
Why is it different from the rumors...
Suspicions gradually arose in Zhou Shan's heart, and she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Zhou Bingquan noticed her gaze and said with a smile: "I'm getting a lot older these days, right?"
"How come?" Zhou Shan quickly smiled and said: "My cousin will always be young and in his prime in my heart."
Zhou Bingquan smiled.
As he gets older, he is really tolerant of these clumsy words and methods.
Not only that, but he felt that it was no regrets to be able to see these old friends.
The atmosphere in the front hall was peaceful until Lin Xuansu appeared.
"It's been very difficult for you, cousin, to guard your cousin all these years by yourself, waiting for her to wake up." Zhou Shan sighed with emotion: "If it were an ordinary man, he would have already found a new woman, that is, my cousin.
Only because of your deep love can you persevere like this."
"I haven't seen you for many years. Zhou Shan, your mouth is still the same as when you were young, and you are the best at fooling people." Lin Xuansu's cold voice came closer from a distance, and appeared in front of everyone.
There was dead silence.
Only Zhou Bingquan saw her, and the expression on his face softened and softened, and he said: "Susu, you are here, why did you sleep so late and stayed up late last night?"
Lin Xuansu ignored him and just looked at Zhou Shan who looked uncomfortable.
Ke Mingyu looked at Lin Xuansu in front of him and couldn't hide his surprise.
Beauty is beauty, no matter how old she gets, no matter how hard the wind and frost hit her, she is still beautiful and charming.
When Ke Mingyu was a boy, he once took a look at Lin Xuansu from a distance. How can I describe that feeling? It was simply shocking.
But at this moment, Zhou Shan was in a completely different state of mind.
She smiled reluctantly and said: "Sister-in-law, why do you suddenly say that to me? I have never fooled anyone before."
"When Zhou Bingquan was asked to go all out to annex the Lin family, my parents both committed suicide by jumping off the building. My little sister rushed back from abroad for the funeral and suffered a plane crash. You also played a role, right?"
Lin Xuansu looked at Zhou Shan indifferently, with sharp eyes: "Have you forgotten? In your dowry, there is also the dowry my mother left for my sister."
Zhou Shan's face turned pale, but Ke Mingyu was still whispering: "Why... why are you still taking other people's relics?"
Zhou Shan really wanted to slap her husband to death, whom she couldn't count on at all.
Zhou Bingquan looked at Lin Xuansu's trembling and thin back, his eyes became more complicated: "Xuansu...obey me, I will give you better things, okay?"
Lin Xuansu turned his face coldly and glanced at Zhou Bingquan: "Shut up, you have no place to speak here."
Zhou Bingquan really sat quietly and never said a word again.
He has a guilty conscience.
He had nothing to say.
Zhou Shan never imagined that she would meet Lin Xuansu, her enemy, today. She was afraid that she would lose both her wife and the army.
She said in a trembling voice: "Lin Xuansu, your sister's dowry has been gone for a long time. If you want me to get it now, I can't get it."
"Can't you get it out?" Lin Xuansu looked at Zhou Shan faintly and whispered: "If you can't get it out, why don't you die!"
"Lin Xuansu! Don't go too far! If it weren't for my cousin's sake, I wouldn't be talking to you here at all!" Zhou Shan's lips trembled: "Don't be like this here.
Stalking like a shrew!"
"Shanshan!" Zhou Bingquan sighed and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk about your cousin-in-law like that! It was you who took your cousin-in-law's things first. Did you forget it yourself?"
Zhou Shan's expression was not very natural.
Lin Xuansu looked at her directly and murmured over and over again: "Give me back my sister's dowry."
"I told you there are no more!" Zhou Shan said impatiently.
"Give me back my sister's dowry."
"I said no!"
"Give me back my sister's dowry."
"Are you crazy..." Zhou Shan looked at Lin Xuansu in disbelief, "I can't take it out! After so many years, who still keeps your broken dowry?"
