"Why did you come back so late?" Zhao Lizi glanced at Zhou Manchun, who was playing with her phone, and her tone was a little strange.
"I had something to do." Zhou Manchun touched her shriveled stomach and looked at the table full of food in front of her. Only then did she feel hungry.
"You're not really with Jin Beisen, are you?" Zhao Lizi asked with lingering fear. During this period of time, Zhou Manchun was like a walking corpse at home, but after coming in today, she had been smiling foolishly. Zhao Lizi was a little worried.
Zhou Manchun ran to the kitchen to get herself a bowl of rice and pretended not to hear Zhao Lizi's words …
How could Zhao Lizi not know about her daughter's little tricks? She sat down seriously, squinted her eyes, and asked, "It can't be true, right?"
"Mom, if it's true, what will you do?" Zhou Manchun put down the bowl and asked carefully.
"I'll beat you to death. What else can I do?" Zhao Lizi said sternly with a sullen face.
"Wow … Mom, you're too violent. What's so bad about Beisen? He has a house, a car, and money. Isn't he your ideal son-in-law? " Zhou Manchun picked up the bowl and chopsticks again, picked up a piece of braised pork, and stuffed it into her mouth, while defending Jin Beisen.
"Yes, I didn't say anything bad about him. He's just too good. Our Zhou family can't climb up the social ladder. Do you know that?" Zhao Lizi said earnestly and helplessly.
"Mom, in the world of love, what's the matter of being good or not? I don't want to put all my conditions on the table. I don't want to get married just for the so-called well-matched social status. I don't want to settle for the rest of my life. "Zhou Manchun swallowed a mouthful of food and said very rationally.
"So, you've reconciled with him?" Zhao Lizi suddenly sneered, thinking that her daughter was really hopeless.
Zhou Manchun didn't hide it. She nodded and replied, "Yes, that's right."
Suddenly, Zhao Lizi became angry. Like a balloon that was about to explode, she slammed the table with a "pa" sound, causing her palms to turn red.
"What will Ah Sheng do if you do this?"
"Mom, I forgot to tell you that nothing happened between Ah Sheng and me. It's a long story, and I don't want to talk about it. It's always a misunderstanding. Ah Sheng told me everything today."
There was a complicated look in Zhao Lizi's eyes. She pursed her lips in silence, but her eyes were fixed on Zhou Manchun.
"But … Xiaochun, have you ever thought about it? What if one day Jin Beisen doesn't love you anymore? Or if JS International closes down and goes bankrupt, what will you do in the face of tens of billions of debts? "Zhao Lizi frowned and said after a long silence.
"Mom, don't worry about it. No one knows what will happen in the future, but if you don't try, there will be no future. I can tell you with certainty that I love Beisen." Zhou Manchun looked at Zhao Lizi with a resolute gaze. She was like an unmovable stone. No matter how the wind blew or how the rain fell, her heart would not change.
Zhao Lizi had no choice but to sit aside sullenly, waiting for Zhou Manchun to finish eating first.
But after the meal, Zhou Manchun found an excuse and refused to argue with Zhao Lizi, saying that she had to write a paper. Zhao Lizi had no choice but to sigh helplessly.
Pushing open the door to the study, Zhao Lizi walked in with a cup of hot milk. In front of the desk, a gentle and elegant middle-aged man in a neat white shirt was working with his head down.
This scene had been going on for more than 20 years. Since Zhao Lizi married Zhou Tinghao, the couple's daily life had been like this. Zhou Tinghao was very serious when he worked, had his own plan every day, and was very punctual. After he returned home from the company, he would read documents in the study if he had nothing to do. Usually, he would work until eight o 'clock, then take a shower and chat with Zhao Lizi.
In fact, Zhou Tinghao was a poor boy who started from scratch. In contrast, Zhao Lizi's family was really much better. Zhao Lizi was born in a scholarly family, and her parents were high school teachers with profound knowledge, while Zhou Tinghao's parents were employees at the grassroots level, and they lost their jobs early and returned to the countryside to farm.
At that time, Zhao Lizi decided to marry Zhou Tinghao, and her parents also desperately opposed it, mainly because the Zhou family's family was not good, but Zhao Lizi was very insistent, and even secretly received a marriage certificate with Zhou Tinghao. Later, she became pregnant, and Zhao Lizi's parents really had no choice but to accept this marriage.
In just one year, Zhou Tinghao established the Zhou's Group. After Zhou Manchun was born, the Zhou's Group slowly went on the right track, so Zhao Lizi followed Zhou Tinghao, and did not have any hard days. The couple helped each other in difficult times, and they had been together for more than 20 years.
This once poor boy, after the precipitation of time, had long become an excellent and responsible good man. Time left traces on him, but also gave him the most beautiful thing in the world, which was home.
Zhao Lizi did not extravagantly expect her daughter to marry a good man. She thought that whether a man had a sense of responsibility was the most important thing, but in the face of Jin Beisen, Zhao Lizi was really a little worried.
Zhao Lizi absolutely recognized Jin Beisen's ability, but Zhao Lizi did not know about his character. In the entertainment newspaper a few years ago, there were constantly gossip about Jin Beisen, and it was often reported that he went to nightclubs and even went to hotels with some young model or some star. Zhao Lizi was worried that Jin Beisen was half-hearted, and now he was just playing with her daughter.
"Why do you look so sad?" Zhou Tinghao raised his eyes, and there was a ripple in his deep eyes. He had already noticed that Zhao Lizi had been in a daze for a long time.
"I am thinking about Xiaochun. That girl and Jin Beisen have reconciled." Zhao Lizi put down the milk, handed it to Zhou Tinghao, and then sat down on the sofa next to him.
After Zhou Tinghao heard it, there was not much worry on his face. He had never been particularly worried about his daughter's happiness. Perhaps it was because men were more careless, Zhou Tinghao felt that what would come would come.
"Ah Zi, don't worry too much. Children and grandchildren have their own happiness. Perhaps, Jin Beisen is the man in our Xiaochun's life." Zhou Tinghao put down the pen in his hand and looked at Zhao Lizi with a smile.
"Do you really think so?" Zhao Lizi asked with a puzzled look.
"En, yes."
"But … I don't know why, but my heart is very uneasy. I always feel that Jin Beisen will lie to our Xiaochun." Zhao Lizi frowned, and her heart felt uncomfortable as if there was something pricking it.
