At the thought that the child's eyes were almost the same as Eighteen's, Wu Xinni felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
Zhou Jinnian had always known that Eighteen was Wu Xinni's substitute. He had feelings for Eighteen and felt guilty about Eighteen, but that didn't stop him from hurting Eighteen.
He liked the child because it was Jiang Yang who gave him the child. Moreover, the child was indeed his son, the one who would inherit the Zhou family's company from him in the future.
Moreover, because of Wu Xinni's health condition, he would only have one child in his life. Naturally, he hoped that he would have a good relationship with the child.
Therefore, when Wu Xinni suddenly lost her temper, Zhou Jinnian's face instantly darkened.
Zhou Jinnian's face was cold. "Do you want to quarrel with me?"
Eighteen's death was a scar in Zhou Jinnian's heart.
Because he owed Eighteen, Zhou Jinnian didn't like people mentioning Eighteen in his ears. He also didn't like people saying that Eighteen was a b * tch to him.
Wu Xinni had violated two taboos at once, and Zhou Jinnian's anger immediately surged.
Wu Xinni was a paper tiger who looked fierce. However, when Zhou Jinnian became fierce, Wu Xinni was instantly terrified.
Seeing Zhou Jinnian's face instantly turn cold, Wu Xinni quickly apologized. "I'm sorry. I was so angry that I didn't choose my words carefully. Jinnian …"
Zhou Jinnian straightened his body, and there was deep disappointment in his eyes. "We've known each other for so many years. You know what kind of person I am. If I really liked Eighteen, I wouldn't have agreed to let you keep the child."
Zhou Jinnian's words touched Wu Xinni. She instantly remembered that it was actually her who had proposed to let Zhou Jinnian have a child with Eighteen.
She was domineering and did not want Zhou Jinnian to have children with other women. She recalled that her parents had once told her that she had a twin sister. The two of them were identical twins, and their genes were not much different. If they gave birth to a child, it would be equivalent to having her genes.
Wu Xinni suddenly felt short of breath.
Wu Xinni looked up at Zhou Jinnian.
Zhou Jinnian was wearing a sky-blue cashmere sweater and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses under his nose. His gentle appearance made her heart beat faster.
Zhou Jinnian's eyelids drooped because of disappointment. His palms drooped slightly, and his fingers were slightly bent. He looked disappointed because he had been misunderstood.
Seeing that Zhou Jinnian had become like this because of her, Wu Xinni felt very guilty. She quickly walked forward and held Zhou Jinnian's finger. She said softly, "Jinnian, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time."
Zhou Jinnian made a sound of acknowledgment. He did not say that he forgave him, nor did he say that he would not forgive him.
Wu Xinni's heart dropped into the air. She was extremely perturbed.
However, reality proved that it was easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature.
Although Wu Xinni made it sound nice, in fact, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, she made a scene again because of Zhou Jinnian's intimacy with the child.
This time, Zhou Cheng and Jiang Yang went abroad directly.
Zhou Jinnian had originally thought that he could spend some time with his parents during the Lunar New Year. However, because of Wu Xinni, they were separated before the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Zhou Jinnian had been staying in an apartment outside during this period.
Zhou Jinnian had lost his patience with Wu Xinni. He left without listening to her explanation.
Today, when he heard that his assistant was going to Jiujiu's company to pick up work, Zhou Jinnian unexpectedly came.
When he saw the smile on Jiujiu's face, he knew without thinking that she had a good Lunar New Year.
Thinking about it, she had achieved so much just by entering the business world. Moreover, with the protection of the government, as long as Jiujiu did not court disaster, it was only a matter of time before she expanded her territory.
For the first time in his life, Zhou Jinnian began to think that if the person he had married back then was not Wu Xinni but Jiujiu, then his life would be very happy right now.
Zhou Jinnian lowered his eyelids to hide the complicated thoughts in his eyes and said, "Of course. By the way, I haven't apologized to you for what happened before. She has been in poor health since she was a child and has been recuperating abroad all these years. She doesn't know much about domestic affairs. If she has offended you in any way, just tell me. I won't let you suffer."
Logically speaking, if he had been schemed against, he should have schemed against him. However, Jiujiu pretended to be worried and came to him to make Wu Xinni look bad. After that, the cooperation between the two companies continued. Zhou Jinnian could not figure out what Jiujiu was thinking.
This time, he came to test Jiujiu's thoughts.
"Oh, that matter. I've long forgotten about it." Jiujiu took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Moreover, sister-in-law has a clear distinction between love and hate. She's quite cute."
Cute was a word used to describe children. Jiujiu said that Wu Xinni was cute, which was a nice way to put it. To put it bluntly, she was naive.
Children were naive and cute, but being naive as an adult was fatal.
Jiujiu seemed to be praising Wu Xinni with every word, but in fact, she was belittling Wu Xinni.
Zhou Jinnian could tell, but he did not want to refute.
After all, he thought the same in his heart.
Seeing that Zhou Jinnian did not refute, Jiujiu had a plan in mind. She continued, "But we're both women, so I can understand what you're thinking. After all, Brother Zhou is handsome and successful. If I had a boyfriend like him, I'd be nervous too. How about this? I'll treat sister-in-law to a meal next time and explain it to her in front of you. How about that?"
Jiujiu put down the pen in her hand, thought for a while, and suggested, "I know a good restaurant with good privacy. Why don't we go there?"
It was Wu Xinni's fault. Now that Jiujiu proposed to organize a meal to explain it to her, Zhou Jinnian had no reason to refute, so he nodded and agreed.
Zhou Jinnian came to talk about work, so he began to talk about work after he finished talking about personal matters. After that, he got up and left.
Of course, it would have been even better if he had left in a clean and efficient manner.
Zhou Jinnian was tempted.
Although it was not a lot, in Jiujiu's opinion, it was not a big deal.
Now that Zhou Jinnian and Wu Xinni's relationship was in trouble, Jiujiu naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot. Two days after she told Zhou Jinnian that she wanted to organize a meal, Jiujiu called Zhou Jinnian to ask about the time.
Zhou Jinnian said that he was free that day, so Jiujiu set the date for that day.
In the evening, Jiujiu drove to the restaurant. When she arrived at the private room, Zhou Jinnian and Wu Xinni were already sitting in the room, waiting for her.
Seeing Jiujiu come in, Zhou Jinnian immediately put on a gentle smile on his face. On the contrary, Wu Xinni's expression was very unnatural.
Of course, if her scheme was seen through, and she even asked her husband to pay attention to her, she might have the same expression as Wu Xinni.
Jiujiu smiled, pretending not to care. She picked up the menu and asked Zhou Jinnian and Wu Xinni to order.
Zhou Jinnian ordered several dishes that Jiujiu liked, which he heard from others. After asking Wu Xinni to add a few more dishes, he handed the menu to Jiujiu.
Jiujiu glanced at the names on the menu and laughed secretly. She casually added a few signature dishes and handed the menu to the waiter.
After the waiter left, the private room fell into silence. For a moment, only the sound of drinking water could be heard.
