The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Taishan Pavilion, which serves as the main exhibition area of ​​this auction, has prepared seats with different arrangements and confidential boxes for the distinguished guests attending the auction.

In one of the secret boxes, four elderly men were sitting around a mahogany square table, chatting about random things. In front of each of them was a cup of tea in a blue and white porcelain cup.

"Old Ye, is there any good news about your Yingqi?"

Ye Wen, the patriarch of the Ye family, had just picked up the teacup to drink some tea, but Wu Chen, the patriarch of the Wu family, asked with curiosity on his face, as if he was ready to watch the show.

"Old Wu, you are asking even though you already know the answer. That kid is so arrogant. I have urged him eight hundred times in the past few years, but he is not in a hurry!"

Ye Wen answered with a bit of melancholy, and he didn't feel awkward saying this in front of the other family heads. His tone was quite familiar when answering this question.

"Why don't you just consider my Nan girl? After all, they grew up together. It would be better for them to be a couple since they know each other well, rather than letting him marry a wife he doesn't know."

Wu Chen rolled his eyes and pretended that he had just thought of this idea when he proposed it to Ye Wen, but he immediately received a cold eye attack from this old friend and old rival.

Gu Liang looked at the two guys whispering to each other diagonally across from him, and replied calmly, "Old Wu, you really enjoy watching the fun... We all know that these two kids basically have to argue every time they meet. It's a miracle that they don't have a big quarrel. How can you expect them to live in peace and build a family? Are you kidding us?"

"Go away, what do you Gu family members know? The fact that they can quarrel only shows that they have feelings for each other. Isn't it popular to have a relationship with a happy enemy now? Isn't it good to live a lively life together?"

Wu Chen glared at Gu Liang, who had an elegant and refined temperament, with a displeased look, as if he was going to quarrel with him in the next second.

Gu Liang ignored Wu Chen's look and replied calmly, "It's useless just because you are willing to bring them together. If those two kids wanted to be together, they would have been together years ago. It's not our turn to make decisions for them. They have their own ideas."

Zhou Fu, the head of the Zhou family who had been silent all this time, actually nodded approvingly in response to Gu Liang's words, which almost made Wu Chen angry to death.

"Old Wu, this is not the time when we were young. Young people now make their own decisions. We can't force them to make any decisions."

Ye Wen patted Wu Chen's shoulder earnestly and sighed deeply.

"Don't forget, you've already driven Wu Qiong away. If Xiao Nan continues to act out of character and goes abroad for a few years, won't you be the one who suffers?"

Wu Chen was speechless for a moment after being confronted by Ye Wen, and a thoughtful look appeared on his well-maintained face, as if he was considering other good ways to help Wu Nan solve his lifelong issue.

"Don't give Nan any bad advice without permission, Old Wu. If she knew that you're always thinking about marrying her off, she would definitely turn against you given her personality."

Gu Liang, who was watching the show, gave Wu Chen some kind advice, without any joking intention at all.

"What the old man said is right this time. With the conditions of our families, it is never too late for our children to get married. Don't bother thinking about being a feudal parent, or you'll be disliked by your children."

Ye Wen also gave some sincere advice.

Although he was very strict with his son, that was only in terms of his career and vision. Ye Wen really had no intention of interfering with his son's preferences and emotional life.

"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."

Zhou Fu, who rarely spoke, raised his eyelids and gave a concise piece of advice. His expression could not be seen from behind his glasses, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Wu Chen shook his head with a hint of amusement and looked at the three people next to him.

"How come today has turned into a denunciation meeting between you three? How come I didn't know when you three joined forces?"

"Team up! Old Ye just snatched a huge potential project from our family, and I haven't even settled the score with him yet!"

Gu Liang, who originally seemed like a hermit, suddenly broke down his defense without warning and spat at Ye Wen. Not only was his cold temperament instantly torn apart, but the expression on his face also showed some fierceness and ferocity as if he wanted to show down Ye Wen.

"Thank you very much. That project is supposed to be for the most capable. Next time, old man, you should move faster and stop complaining about being beaten to the punch."

Zhou Fu looked calmly at the other three old rivals in the box who were already old but still quarreling like children. He picked up the tea bowl, lifted the lid, and took another sip of tea.

These three people always quarrel at the beginning of each auction, but they will reconcile before the end of the auction.

He really didn't know whether to say that these old rivals were childish or that their relationship was too close.

Ye Wen and Gu Liang started to argue with each other, and Wu Chen could finally sit back and enjoy the gossip between the two of them. The tea that had originally felt a little cold did not taste so astringent anymore.

This strangely harmonious atmosphere among the four people lasted less than three minutes when the door of the box was knocked.

Ye Wen and Gu Liang, who were arguing like primary school students just a moment ago, shut up instantly. The next second they put on an oppressive or bossy look, and their expressions changed so quickly that it was astonishing.

The only people who knew the location of this box were those youngsters, and no one knew who it was. Instead of going to the venue to expand his network, he came to find these old guys.

Ye Wen Guliang and Wu Chen's eyes met in the air, and they all looked at Zhou Fu, who remained calm even when faced with a huge crisis, with complicated expressions in their eyes.

Zhou Fu pretended to cover his face with the teacup accidentally, and suppressed the bad premonition in his heart, and calmly pressed the door-opening button at hand.

When Zhou Zhiyu appeared at the door, the looks of Wu, Ye, and Gu changed, and they all said in their hearts -

really.

Their three children each have their shortcomings, but the third girl from the Zhou family is really... hard to evaluate.

I don’t know how Zhou Huli has tolerated this girl’s behavior outside. If their three children did the same, they would have been confined to their homes and their financial resources would have been cut off.

When Zhou Zhiyu walked into the box wearing a starry blue one-shoulder evening gown, Zhou Fu pursed the corners of his mouth, which were hidden by the tea bowl, as if he was trying hard to suppress some emotions.

In his life, Zhou Fu had never had a headache about his career, his opponents, or his relationships.

The only thing that really gave him a headache was his third daughter.

His eldest son and second daughter were very good and he didn't need to worry about any aspect of their lives, but his youngest daughter was different. It seemed as if she was born to make him worry, and every time she caused trouble, it was bigger than the last.

Apart from his education, figure and good-looking face, he really didn't know what other advantages Zhou Zhiyu had that could be praised for.

"Dad, I..."

"Go out and talk."

As soon as Zhou Zhiyu opened her mouth, Zhou Fu interrupted her and dragged her out of the box without giving her a chance to speak.

He is not stupid and does not want to be laughed at by these old enemies.
