If you don't pretend to be stupid, you will be forced to marry into a rich family [Cross Book]
Chapter 57 Family Dinner
Wang Xu really felt that he might be crazy, otherwise why would Zhou Shiqi sell out pitifully, and he said in a daze that he could go back and think about it?Maybe it's because of Zhou Shiqi's unruly arrogance and wantonness, the hidden tenderness and filial piety made people really couldn't bear to refuse.
After all, if that was the last wish of the old man of the Zhou family... Wang Xuzhen remembered that when he was in the car just now, when he asked your grandpa if his liver could still be cured, Zhou Shi Qi Xuanran weeping and holding back his words, there was a feeling in his heart. It hurts like someone grabbed it.
He returned home in a daze, and in the midst of Chen Suifeng's joy, he asked like an empty shell with no soul but no emotion: "Mr. Zhou... How is his body?"
"Master Zhou?" Chen Suifeng was caught off guard by his question.After a while, he made a list in his head before clapping his hands, and suddenly realized: "Yes, it is said that Mr. Zhou will have an operation in the hospital next year. I don't know what the disease is. Could it be that Qu Ling is so anxious because of this matter?" Do you want you and Shi Qi to get engaged quickly?"
Chen Suifeng's words reminded Wang Xuzhen of Qi Xin's pained and forbearing eyes just now, and he couldn't help being stabbed in the heart again.
"It's true, don't worry about the reason at the other end of the Zhou family, you have to seize this opportunity." Chen Suifeng's eyes were like lightning, with the light of a small citizen woman who is good at calculating, and said eagerly: "If you marry into the Zhou family, Then our family will achieve the Tao alone, and the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven! When the time comes..."
Wang Xuzhen frowned, impatiently listening to what Chen Suifeng said about chickens and dogs, put on a mask and went out.
Three days later, Wang Xuzhen gave Zhou Shiqi a reply - he can accept the proposal of acting, but it can only be acting.He thought about it, and felt that he really couldn't let a powerful old man leave with regrets, and he couldn't refuse Zhou Shiqi's sincere and passionate filial piety.
If it's acting, he won't lose a piece of meat left or right, and he won't lose anything, and he doesn't have a girlfriend who will be involved in causing misunderstandings or anything.Isn't it good to fulfill Mr. Zhou's wish?After all, Zhou Shiqi said that his grandfather's illness will not last long, and he has no hidden danger of needing to act for a long time.
As for the fear of the media exposing these messy hidden worries, there is no need to worry.Zhou Shiqi's prosperity in the entertainment industry is beyond the reach of others. If the engagement is made, the company and the Zhou family will naturally keep it a secret. It will be done in secret, and there will be no news about it. Not to worry about him.
And the most terrible thing was Zhou Shiqi's pitiful eyes... It made Wang Xuzhen feel that if he ruthlessly refused, he would be like a sinner through the ages.As a last resort, he could only nod his head.
The fact that the two children agreed to get engaged quickly told Qu Ling, and the latter immediately told the Zhou family, the Chen family, and everyone in the business circle with his well-connected news—that is, the young master of the Zhou family was about to get engaged. .When Wang Xuzhen heard what Zhou Shiqi said, he couldn't help being nervous: "You, didn't you say you were secretly engaged?"
Then why did Qu Ling notify so many people?There are so many people talking, and it will be heard by the media at that time... May I ask if Zhou Shiqi, a top-notch married at a young age, wants to continue to hang out?
"It's okay." Zhou Shiqi's voice is faint, and his voice has always had such a faint sadness recently, and the original clear and deep voice is even more pitiful: "They are all from the business district, and I haven't seen me much. It will be better to hide it if we don’t hold the ceremony at that time.”
While talking, he coughed twice, as if he was too worried about Mr. Zhou's affairs.Wang Xu really felt a little soft-hearted unconsciously, thinking that he was really tired after having so many family affairs and filming.Wang Xuzhen was a few years older than him. Knowing that teenagers are mostly arrogant, he couldn't help but soften his voice and persuade: "Combine work with rest, don't forget to have a good rest."
"... Mmm." His words made Zhou Shiqi ponder a bit of "good wife and mother" in his heart. After chewing and swallowing, he felt comforted, and the corners of his mouth curled up in satisfaction.Wang Xuzhen had no idea how proud the puppet on the other side of the phone was, who had a pitiful voice but couldn't help but smile, and replied to him, "You too."
Later, Wang Xuzhen realized that he had underestimated Zhou Shiqi's acting skills a little too much—a 21-year-old dog who won the best actor, why did he treat him like a little white flower at that time?It's really a conscience that fed the dog, and all the previous "experiences" in the old world are in vain.
Planted in the hands of a husky four years younger than him.
On Sunday, Zhou Shiqi took Wang Xuzhen back to the Zhou family's mansion. As soon as Wang Xuzhen entered the door, he felt the simple and solemn atmosphere of the house. There are three layers of relatives who are either rich or noble, and Wang Xuzhen feels that his fingertips are a little numb.
"Don't worry." Although Zhou Shi's big hand was not too warm, Qi Xiu held Wang Xuzhen's hand just right, bent slightly and comforted him softly in his ear: "I won't let you suffer."
Wang Xuzhen was taken aback for a moment, and raised his eyes slightly to look at Zhou Shiqi's delicate and sharp jaw line. Before he opened his lips to speak, he felt that the hand held by Zhou Shiqi... was firmly interlocked with his fingers.Wang Xuzhen was speechless, but next to his ears was Zhou Shiqi's frank voice: "Occasionally, I need to act more intimately."
"..."
Wang Xu really compromised, and thought to forget it, anyway, interlocking fingers is not a big deal of intimacy, they are actors, are they still afraid of such a gesture?
The two walked into the Zhou family's main house hand in hand, 'intimately'.As soon as he entered the middle hall, Wang Xuzhen saw that a large table with a length of ten meters was already full of people, and almost everyone was 'sitting upright', well-dressed and elegantly dressed.The one sitting at the head of the long table is naturally the current leader of the Zhou family, old man Zhou Zhenshan.
Wang Xuzhen unconsciously looked at Mr. Zhou, and when he met the latter's falcon-like eyes, his heart skipped a beat—his eyes were radiant, but his complexion was indeed a little unhealthily pale... Sigh, it's really embarrassing for the old man to participate in this kind of competition. Tiring dinner, for his 'fake fiancé'.
When all the juniors were present, the first one to speak was naturally the old man, Zhou Zhenshan looked around Wang Xuzhen carefully, with a satisfied smile on his face, showing a bit of kindness, and nodded slightly: "Come on. "
Only then did Qu Ling speak, and she stood up with a smile and pointed to the two vacant seats in the junior seat: "Go and sit down."
"Grandpa." Zhou Shiqi called out politely: "Mom, Dad."
When Zhou Shiqi called "Dad", his voice became obviously indifferent for a moment, Wang Xuzhen was taken aback, and then he remembered that today was the first time he saw Zhou Shiqi's father, Zhou Feilin.It was a middle-aged man in a black suit sitting next to Qu Ling. He was very well-groomed, with sword eyebrows and star eyes.Zhou Feilin just nodded slightly when he heard Zhou Shiqi's voice, acting like a very reserved and polite gentleman.Wang Xuzhen suddenly felt that it was not surprising that Zhou Shiqi was so good-looking. Both his parents were so beautiful.
Then he keenly felt that Zhou Shiqi beside him seemed to sneer in disdain.
Wang Xu is really a very careful person, and it can be deduced from just a few interlaced moments... The relationship between Zhou Shiqi and his father doesn't seem to be very good.
The two sat in empty seats, and the lukewarm 'family dinner' finally started. The dinner was very quiet, except for the faint sound of knives and forks clinking.The members of the Zhou family are all rich and noble, they are very decent, and they respect the rule of not talking when eating or sleeping, and almost no one speaks.
Only when the main meal was finished and dessert was served, Zhou Shiqi's aunt smiled and gave an introduction to the meal of "Welcome Zhou Shiqi's fiancé"——
"Lingling." Aunt Zhou Feitong smiled kindly, and asked Qu Ling: "When are you going to do Shi Qihe's real business?"
"This one……"
"It's fine to do it in a small way." Zhou Feilin interrupted Qu Ling's words, and said lightly: "It's too extravagant to do a big job, and the impact is not good."
Zhou Feilin's voice was indifferent and severe, causing Wang Xuzhen's hand holding the fork to tremble, but the other hand hanging below his body was tightly held by a slender and well-defined hand.This hand was so hard that two blue veins burst out on the back of the white hand, Wang Xuzhen couldn't help being a little surprised, and looked up——Zhou Shiqi's face remained unchanged, but the line of the mandible was slightly tense, obviously bitten. The back molars tightened, as if they were enduring something.
...Is he angry?Because of his father's words?Wang Xuzhen squinted his eyes in doubt, feeling that he didn't hear anything wrong from Zhou Feilin's words just now.But although Zhou Shiqi didn't say a word, he looked really angry.Wang Xuzhen didn't break away from his aching hand, but put his other hand on the back of Zhou Shiqi's hand with obvious bones, and touched it soothingly.
When Zhou Shiqi turned his head slightly suspiciously to look over, Wang Xuzhen smiled at him.
The Zhou family couldn't talk during the meal, so Qu Ling naturally wanted to introduce Wang Xuzhen to the relatives after the meal.Zhou Shiqi found an opportunity to go upstairs to the old man's office during this spare time. Seeing the old man secretly smoking in the office and seeing him coughing with his eyes wide open, Zhou Shiqi smiled and locked the lock with a 'click'.
"Cough cough cough! You boy!" Zhou Zhenshan quickly extinguished the cigarette, and became angry from embarrassment: "If you don't accompany your new wife, what are you doing here looking for an old man like me?!"
The point is that he was caught smoking!You must know that catching Mr. Zhou smoking is a task entrusted to everyone in the family by Mrs. Zhou. Zhou Zhenshan smoked once every ten days and a half months, and he still felt like a thief, and he was caught!
Zhou Shiqi blinked innocently: "Grandpa, I don't want to see you smoking either, so I can't help but tell grandma."
"...Let's talk." Zhou Zhenshan admitted defeat: "Fortunately, you kid, how can you hide it from your grandma? Old man, I'll buy you a new car?"
"That's not necessary." Where does he lack such things as cars, there are several cars in the garage.Zhou Shiqi knew that he had the upper hand now, so he leaned against the door and raised the corners of his lips complacently: "Actually, I came to admit my mistake to Grandpa."
"Needless to say." Zhou Zhenshan waved his hand without hesitation: "I forgive you."
Zhou Shiqi raised his eyebrows: "Really?"
Zhou Zhenshan patted his chest: "Of course, you have to be good enough in front of your grandma, right?"
Zhou Shiqi: "Then what if I make a big mistake?"
"What big mistake can you make?" Zhou Zhenshan thought to himself that his grandson has been extremely dishonest since he was a child. He has basically made all the mistakes that young people can think of. He has already trained him to have a steel heart. What did he hear? It wouldn't be surprising, besides, Zhou Shiqi has something to do with him now... So Zhou Zhenshan is like a foolish king, and said generously: "Grandpa can forgive you."
Zhou Shiqi smiled mysteriously: "Grandpa, then I can rest assured."
Zhou Zhenshan was a little curious by his inexplicable smile, and asked, "What mistake did you make?"
"I lied to my wife." Zhou Shiqi blinked innocently, like a little white rabbit.
"You lied to that child Wang Xuzhen?" Zhou Zhenshan frowned, a little dissatisfied: "Well, why did you lie to him? What did you lie to him?"
"Grandpa, I lied to him that you have liver disease and are dying soon."
Zhou Zhenshan: "..."
"So." Zhou Shiqi raised the corners of his lips slightly, and looked at old man Zhou unblinkingly with his long and narrow phoenix eyes: "Grandpa, you have to cooperate with me."
After all, if that was the last wish of the old man of the Zhou family... Wang Xuzhen remembered that when he was in the car just now, when he asked your grandpa if his liver could still be cured, Zhou Shi Qi Xuanran weeping and holding back his words, there was a feeling in his heart. It hurts like someone grabbed it.
