Dote on your wife first: Husband, don’t be too bad

The first time Shen Yulan met Zhou Jiandong was at Zuo Qing's home. On that day, Zuo Qing invited her to visit him.

Shen Yulan and Zuo Qingben grew up together, Shen's family and Zuo's family are not considered noble families in this city, and the only reason for Zuo's family to gain a foothold in this city is only because of their family. Her youngest daughter has a marriage contract with the Zhou family, and she does not look at the monk's face but at the Buddha's face, nor at the Shen family's face, but also at the Zhou family's face.

And the Shen family is just an ordinary family, with more than the top and more than the bottom.Shen Yulan also always knew that Zuo Qing had a marriage contract, and every time she saw Zuo Qing's parents talking about Zuo Qing's marriage, Shen Yulan had the feeling that they were going to sell their daughter for glory.

This Shen Yulan has been smart since she was a child, and she ranks among the best in every exam.But because she has several older brothers above her, no matter how good she is, she is not as good as her son who can inherit the family business.

But fortunately, the Shen family has never been stingy with money when it comes to educating their children, so Shen Yulan was able to study abroad smoothly.

When Shen Yulan came, by coincidence, Zuo Qing was busy cooking soup for her fiancé in the kitchen.

Seeing Shen Yulan coming, Zuo Qing hurriedly said, "Yulan, you go outside and wait for me first, I'll be fine soon."

Shen Yulan nodded, she was no stranger to this matter, the Zuo family had always treated Zuo Qing's fiancé as an ancestor, now Zuo Qing just cooked soup for him, maybe after marriage, they really want to Became a full-time nanny.

This is the biggest difference between Shen Yulan and Zuo Qing. Shen Yulan has been competitive since she was a child, and she wants to be the best in everything.

But Zuo Qing is not, Zuo Qing has been pampered by her family, which has cultivated her to be aloof from the world, and her greatest ambition is to marry Zhou Jiandong.But it's really hard to say whether Zuo Qingxi likes her fiancé. After all, as long as you can remember, your parents and others have been telling you that you are going to marry into the Zhou family. The son of Zhou's family has always been a good-looking boy since he was a child. Zuo Qing never thought about whether she likes Zhou Jiandong or not. Anyway, she will marry him whether she likes it or not. It's useless to think about these non-existent things.

Shen Yulan turned around and left the kitchen, picked up a book in a corner of the living room, and carefully flipped through it.

After an unknown amount of time, a pleasant male voice rang in Shen Yulan's ear, "Miss, can you understand German?"

Shen Yulan raised her eyebrows, standing in front of her was a strange man, Zuo Qing's brother and sister's family members Shen Yulan had seen it before, but this was the first time she saw this man.Shen Yulan looked at him calmly. This man looked about 25 or [-] years old, with a slender figure, and his appearance was not bad, and with his attire, he looked like a Looks expensive.

"understand."

With a smile on the corner of Zhou Jiandong's mouth, he handed the book in his hand to her, "Then can you help me find out the name of this book?"

Shen Yulan took the book handed over by Zhou Jiandong, glanced at it and blurted out, "This is the textbook of Bauhaus University in Weimar, Introduction to Architecture."

Zhou Jiandong didn't seem to have any doubts about Shen Yulan's ability to understand German, so he believed her words, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You are the third lady of the Shen family, Shen Yulan?"

Shen Yulan frowned, "How do you know?"

Zhou Jiandong approached her, and took the book in her hand, "Among the young ladies from aristocratic families in this city, only the third lady of the Shen family went abroad for further studies, and she went to Germany."

"Then why don't you let me guess who you are?" Shen Yulan crossed her arms and looked at Zhou Jiandong provocatively. The man challenged her patience the moment he came up.

"Oh?" Zhou Jiandong didn't expect Shen Yulan to have such a temper, so he just looked at Shen Yulan with a smile.

"You are Zuo Qing's fiancé, Master Zhou." Shen Yulan's voice was cold, but there was still a hint of sarcasm. After speaking, she stepped forward and took the book from Zhou Jiandong's hand.

"Why don't you say that you have studied abroad? Your IQ is really high." Zhou Jiandong sat leisurely on the sofa beside him.

"Jiandong, are you here?" Zuo Qing came out of the kitchen at this moment, and saw Shen Yulan staring at Zhou Jiandong, while Zhou Jiandong had a relaxed expression on his face.

Zhou Jiandong just gave a faint "um" and didn't say anything else.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not quite right, Shen Yulan made a gesture to Zuo Qing, Zuo Qing immediately walked over and asked in a low voice, "Yulan, I'm so sorry, Jiandong said he would come later, I didn't expect him to come so early."

Shen Yulan nodded disapprovingly, "It's okay, why don't I leave first, and we'll meet another day."

Shen Yulan said, picked up her bag, turned around and went out.

Seeing that Shen Yulan had left, Zuo Qing sat next to Zhou Jiandong and asked softly, "Jiandong, why are you here so early today? Is the company over?"

Without raising his eyelids, Zhou Jiandong said flatly, "I'm here to find your father."

Zuo Qing was used to Zhou Jiandong's indifference for a long time, and then said with a smile on his face, "I made soup for you, do you want to taste it?"

"I'll wait for your dad here, don't worry about me, let me be quiet for a while." Zhou Jiandong turned his head away, and refused to say anything more to Zuo Qing.

Zuo Qing's face turned red and turned white, and he didn't know what to say, but just sat quietly by the side.

Not long after, Grandpa Zuo came back and was very happy to see Zhou Jiandong and Zuo Qing sitting in the living room.

Mr. Zuo both liked and feared Zhou Jiandong, the son-in-law-to-be.

I like it because he is the prospective heir of the Zhou family. If Zuo Qing follows him in the future, not only will she have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life, but she will also be able to help the Zuo family stay away from their current predicament.

The fear is because Zhou Jiandong is moody and often plays cards out of common sense.In addition, it was not Zhou Jiandong who had a marriage contract with Zuo Qing, but Zhou Jiandong's cousin.But because he had a deep friendship with the old man of the Zhou family, after Zhou Jiandong was determined to be the heir of the Zhou family, the old man Zuo discussed with the old man in private and changed the candidate.

But no one else knew about this matter, and this matter was also a big stone that weighed on Mr. Zuo's heart.As long as this Zuo Qing and Zhou Jiandong get married, and the raw rice is cooked, even if Zhou Jiandong finds out about it, he won't be able to regret it.

But every time Grandpa Zuo sees Zhou Jiandong, he always feels that he treats his daughter neither cold nor indifferent. Coupled with his probing eyes every time, Grandpa Zuo always has the illusion that he wants to see through him.It is clearly a back that is younger than him, but it always gives him this feeling. The thing that Mr. Zuo wants most now is to let them get married as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams.But this Zhou Jiandong always played Tai Chi with him, and he couldn't get what he wanted.

Grandpa Zuo said happily, "Jiandong, why are you free to come over today?"

Zhou Jiandong raised his eyebrows and glanced at Old Master Zuo, neither cold nor indifferent, "Uncle, I need to talk to you, let's go to your study to talk."

Grandpa Zuo and Zuo Qing looked at each other, but they didn't see the information they wanted from each other's eyes at all.

Grandpa Zuo had no choice but to nod in agreement, "Okay, let's go to my study and have a chat."

Zhou Jiandong followed Mr. Zuo up to the second floor.

On the other hand, Mrs. Zuo watched Zhou Jiandong and Mr. Zuo go upstairs, pulled Zuo Qing over, and asked in a low voice, "Why do I feel that Jiandong is acting weird today?"

Zuo Qing didn't take it seriously, "Isn't he always like this?"

"No," Mrs. Zuo shook her head, "I always feel that something is wrong, Jiandong came here today, didn't he say anything to you?"

Zuo Qing took a sip of tea slowly, "He told me not to bother him, he said he wanted to clean himself up for a while."

Mrs. Zuo looked at Zuo Qing with hatred, and finally just sighed helplessly.

study.

Grandpa Zuo ordered his servant to serve two cups of hot tea, "Come here, Jiandong, try it quickly, this is the new Biluochun this year, and the city only has five catties in total."

Zhou Jiandong took a sip, then spit it out slowly into the blue and white porcelain cup, with a gloomy expression, "Uncle, I respect you as an elder. No matter how bad I am, I have drunk good tea. You can bring me old tea. What exactly does that mean?"

Grandpa Zuo glanced at the blue and white porcelain tea cup that Zhou Jiandong put aside, his face was full of panic, "How could it be? Jiandong, have you misunderstood? How could I use old tea to fool you?"

"New tea tastes sweet and refreshing, while old tea tastes impure and bitter. You don't know the simplest truths." Zhou Jiandong no longer used honorifics to talk to Mr. Zuo, but straight to the point taunt him.

"Post-mortgage." As he spoke, Zhou Jiandong sneered, "Is that how you persuaded my father to steal the dragon and turn into the phoenix?"

The old man on the left had panic on his face, and he stuttered when he spoke. "Jiandong, why do you talk like that? I can't understand a word of what you said."

"Since you want to play dumb, then..." Zhou Jiandong smashed the blue and white porcelain teacup he used for drinking tea just now, "It's a pity, this teacup is something from the Qing Dynasty."

Grandpa Zuo frowned, what happened to Zhou Jiandong today?Also, how did he know what happened back then?
"I want to retire." Zhou Jiandong's tone was natural, as if he was talking about the nice weather today.

"What did you say?!" Grandpa Zuo was so angry that he was about to spit fire all over his body.

"It seems that you are really old and can't even hear clearly." Zhou Jiandong said mockingly.

"Zhou Jiandong, don't go too far!"

Zhou Jiandong raised his eyebrows and said nothing, his eyes were full of sarcasm, "Oh? I can't take it anymore? Are you angry?"

Zhou Jiandong's bony hands tapped rhythmically on the sandalwood desk, again and again.

Grandpa Zuo was already sweating profusely on his forehead, and he was not as angry as before, but instead had a look of fear.

Zhou Jiandong had a grim smile on his face, "Also, my marriage with your daughter"

Grandpa Zuo panicked. He never thought that Zhou Jiandong would suddenly attack today, especially when Zuo Qing was involved. Could it be that he knew something?
"Jiandong, Jiandong, listen to me, Zuo Qing is innocent, and she really loves you, you can blame me. But, you can't take your anger out on her." The old man Zuo said hoarsely, his face already full of tears. The old man burst into tears.

"But, my cousin told me that he had a marriage contract with Zuo Qing before, but he." Zhou Jiandong said unhurriedly, as if he didn't see the tearful appearance of old man Zuo.

"I don't know about this, I don't know anything about it." Grandpa Zuo shook his head violently, unable to believe what happened before his eyes. Could it be that Zhou Jiandong really knew what happened back then? !
"Since you don't know anything, let me tell you well." Zhou Jiandong smiled without touching his eyes.

"Zuo Qing's previous fiancé was my cousin, Zhou Jianshan. My cousin has been liked by our old man since he was a child. I remember that the previous heir of our Zhou family was my cousin." Zhou Jiandong smiled at this time The meaning is even stronger, as if he is laughing at the old man Zuo, and at the same time he seems to be laughing at himself.

"Tell me about you, why did you bet on the wrong thing?" Zhou Jiandong said with regret, "Tell me, if you had chosen me back then, why wouldn't I call off the engagement today?"

"Zhou Jiandong, you can't do this. If you do this, you will ruin Xiaoqing." Grandpa Zuo looked at Zhou Jiandong in disbelief, "If you divorce, how will you let Xiaoqing live? How can our Zuo family gain a foothold in this city?"

Speaking of this, Grandpa Zuo was really scared. He looked at Zhou Jiandong this time not as if he was just talking, but as if he was going to make a real move.

If Zhou Jiandong really retired, who else would marry Xiaoqing?How could a big family be willing to marry an unmarried wife who was abandoned by her husband's family?Even if it wasn't for Zuo Qing, there are many people in this city who are jealous that their Zuo family can marry the Zhou family.If the Zuo family lost the protection of the Zhou family, the Zuo family would have almost no place to stand in this city.In addition, in the past few years, the Zuo family's business has plummeted, and they all rely on the Zhou family to be able to operate. If the Zhou family pays for the car, the Zuo family is bound to go bankrupt.

Grandpa Zuo narrowed his eyes dangerously. He never thought that Zhou Jiandong would suddenly attack today, which really caught him off guard.

Zhou Jiandong seemed to be thinking about Mr. Zuo's words, "It seems that what you said is serious?"

Seeing Zhou Jiandong's thinking, Mr. Zuo couldn't restrain a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that there would be room for maneuver in this matter.

"But, what does that have to do with me?" Zhou Jiandong said slowly, with a deeper smile in his eyes.

One sentence completely shattered old man Zuo's hope. Old man Zuo looked at Zhou Jiandong in disbelief, and couldn't believe that Zhou Jiandong could say such cruel words.

Even though he was very indifferent to Zuo Qing before, he would not be as cruel as he is now.

Seeing that he had finished talking, Zhou Jiandong got up and patted Old Master Zuo on the shoulder, "Uncle, I'm leaving first. When Zuo Qing gets married in the future, remember to send me an invitation card. I will definitely pack a big red envelope."

"Zhou Jiandong, you are not human!" Grandpa Zuo yelled, and then went crazy, sweeping the things on the desk to the ground, his face was full of ferocious expressions, "If you don't marry Zuo Qing, I will fight my way!" My old life will not let you go!"

"You can try it!" With the sound of closing the door, Zhou Jiandong walked out of the study.
