Not enough greed

Let's start with the "Quxiang Laboratory Tragedy" five years ago. "

When Su Chen woke up, Zhou Zheng was not by his side. He got up in a panic and hurriedly got up from the bed. He opened the door and looked out without thinking about arranging his clothes and hair. Then he heard a male voice say, "Huh?"

Before Su Chen could see the other party's face, Zhou Zheng had strode up to him, knelt down and gently helped him straighten his somewhat messy collar and hair: "Are you awake?"

Su Chen nodded, grabbed Zhou Zheng's sleeve and looked behind him curiously, and then saw the well-dressed man who had appeared in the hospital before.

Mu Qingyun smiled at him: "Hello!"

Su Chen quietly retracted again, using Zhou Zheng's body to block the man's sight.The man chuckled, Zhou Zheng patted Su Chen's head, got up and gave the man an order to evict the man coldly: "Since the matter has been discussed, I won't waste Mr. Mu's precious time."

Mu Qingyun gave them a funny look, then turned and left.

In the afternoon, Zhou Zheng took a tablet computer to show Su Chen the video. Su Chen felt bored after watching it for a while, and quickly put the tablet aside, picked up the book he read in the morning and continued to read it.Zhou Zheng didn't have much to do in the afternoon. He took Su Chen home after four o'clock. They took a shower one after another. Zhou Zheng found a small suit from the closet for Su Chen to change into: "In the evening Take you to a banquet to play."

Su Chen changed her clothes obediently, and asked puzzledly, "A banquet?"

"Yes," Zhou Zheng tied a small bow tie on him, "it's just a party, there will be many people, and there will be a lot of delicious food."

The child's eyes lit up when he heard the food, Zhou Zheng looked at him, couldn't help but reach out and scratch his little nose, and his voice was full of indulgence: "Little greedy cat..."

☆, protection

This dinner was organized by Xie's family. On the surface it was said to be celebrating Mr. Xie's [-]th birthday, but in private everyone knew that Xie always wanted to take this opportunity to find a good partner for his only daughter Xie Yun.When Zhou Zheng arrived with Su Chen, many people had already arrived at the venue. Zhou Zheng thought that the child hadn't eaten yet, so he led Su Chen straight to the dining table, took some food and watched him eat.

"Mr. Zhou." Hearing someone calling him from behind, Zhou Zheng turned his head and saw a girl in a blue evening dress smiling at him, "Long time no see."

"Long time no see." Zhou Zheng nodded at her, trying to recall the identity of the other party, until he saw the rich and handsome Mr. Xie on the stage, he remembered that this was Miss Xie Yunxie who had met him a few times.

Seeing Su Chen who was following Zhou Zheng, Xie Yun bent over and greeted him gently: "Xiaochen, long time no see."

Su Chen has a good memory, so she recognized the other party immediately, and obediently called out, "Thank you, sister."

Xie Yun exchanged pleasantries with Zhou Zheng for a while, and then he blushed and hesitated to speak. Zhou Zheng probably guessed what the other party wanted to say, and secretly thought it was terrible.He really didn't understand what this Miss Xie liked about him. He thought he was indifferent to her enough, but the other party refused to give up and pestered her again and again.It would have been fine if it had been in the past, but ever since Su Chen cried his heart out on Mount Yi, Zhou Zheng was afraid of such rotten peach blossoms, especially now that the child has not yet come out of the shadow of being kidnapped Well, Zhou Zheng really didn't want him to be stimulated any more.

It's a pity that before Zhou Zheng could find an excuse to take Su Chen away, the blushing Miss Xie had gathered enough courage and said shyly, "Zhou Zheng, I like you."

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but after the first sentence is spoken, the rest will be much easier.Although Xie Yun still didn't dare to look at Zhou Zheng's expression at the moment, he said the words he had prepared a long time ago smoothly: "You saved me when we first met, you probably don't remember Yes, but I've always liked you since then, although I didn't even know your name at the time. Then my father took me to a banquet, and I saw you again, and my father told me that you were the young master of the Zhou family ..."

She spoke with sincerity, but Zhou Zheng had no intention of listening, and directly interrupted her confession: "Sorry, I don't remember that I ever saved you."

Xie Yun was taken aback, and the blood faded from her face: Of course she knew that this was Zhou Zheng's tactful rejection, but she was unwilling to give up just like that.For a woman from a wealthy family like her, marriage is their responsibility and mission. It is hard for her to meet someone she likes, who is well-matched, and whose father is also satisfied. If she just gives up like this... Thinking of this, Xie Yun bit her head Lips, trying to fight for yourself: "I know you are worried about Xiaochen, I also like this child very much, if we are together in the future, even if we have our own child, I will treat Xiaochen like my own..."

Zhou Zheng frowned and was about to say something more when he heard Su Chen yelling at Xie Yun: "A Zheng is mine! Go away! Ah Zheng doesn't want other children!" Zhou Zheng looked down and saw the child's face turned red Oh, and the pancakes he was holding were thrown aside, and Zhou Zheng's trousers were pulled by his two little hands, like a little beast whose territory had been violated.Xie Yun was stunned by his yelling, and then tried to reason with Su Chen: "Xiao Chen, it's not that Ah Zheng doesn't want you, but Ah Zheng is always going to get married, he will always have..."

"Miss Xie!" Zhou Zheng hurriedly stopped Xie Yun's next words, squatted down and hugged Su Chen into his arms.Su Chen looked as if he was about to cry. Zhou Zheng felt the body of the person in his arms trembling slightly, and he couldn't help but feel distressed. When he spoke to Xie Yun, he couldn't help but speak more severely: "Miss Xie, I'm sorry You don't have any feelings of admiration, and Xiaochen doesn't like you either, please don't say these words in the future!"

Xie Yun was taken aback, tears gradually filled his eyes, looked at Zhou Zheng who was hugging Su Chen softly, and suddenly remembered the wish he had in his heart when he was in the hot spring hotel more than half a year ago.

If only he could treat me as well as he treats Su Chen one day!At that time she thought so.But now she finally understands that this wish will probably never come true.

She lowered her head and said in a low voice: "I understand." Then she got up and left without looking back at Zhou Zheng, and Zhou Zheng only cared about Su Chen in his arms, and didn't notice Xie Yun's departure at all.

Zhou Zheng coaxed Su Chen for a long time before he finally calmed down the child's mood, but he didn't want to stay at the banquet any longer, so Zhou Zheng simply said hello to Mr. Xie, and took Su Chen away first .

After walking out of the meeting place, Su Chen seemed to be calmer. Zhou Zheng dragged him to the parking lot, when he heard the child suddenly ask worriedly, "Ah Zheng, what I did just now...was it bad?"

Zhou Zheng gave him a funny look, and joked, "Why, have you recovered now?"

Su Chen stopped in his tracks, looked at Zhou Zheng brightly, and said stubbornly, "Ah Zheng promised me!"

Zhou Zheng looked at the persistence and a trace of fear in the child's eyes, sighed in his heart, and replied softly: "Yes, we agreed, and we also hung the concentric lock together, didn't we? Xiaochen, don't worry."

Hearing what he said, Su Chen immediately felt better. Seeing that his face gradually brought a smile, Zhou Zheng felt that he was also happy in his heart.The two of them slowed down and walked towards the parking lot, when Zhou Zheng suddenly heard someone shout behind him: "Master Zhou."

Zhou Zheng stopped and turned back: "Mr. Mu." Su Chen stopped and looked at Mu Qingyun curiously: This is the third time he has seen this man.

Mu Qingyun walked up to Zhou Zheng and asked, "Young Master Zhou left so early, could it be because of a beautiful woman's appointment?"

Zhou Zheng replied indifferently: "Xiaochen feels a little uncomfortable, I will take him away first. I wonder what's the matter with Mr. Mu?"

Mu Qingyun said: "I have already sent someone to send the person you want to your place, and they will act according to your request. You can make some arrangements tonight."

Zhou Zheng nodded: "Thank you, I will take care of business matters as soon as possible, and I won't keep you waiting."

Mu Qingyun smiled: "It's not urgent, after all, it's not something that can be resolved in a short period of time, let's take it slowly as agreed."

"Alright," Zhou Zheng glanced at him, "Since that's the case, if Mr. Mu is fine, I'll leave today."

Seeing him turn around, Mu Qingyun glanced at Su Chen's small body, and suddenly said, "If you really want to protect him, you might as well teach him to protect himself."

Zhou Zheng was shocked when he heard the words, and stopped, but did not look back.

Mu Qingyun continued: "If you are willing to send him to me, I can guarantee that within three years, he will be able to easily get rid of most of the kidnappers and villains in the world."

This time, Zhou Zheng didn't hesitate, and immediately rejected him: "Thank you, Mr. Mu, for your kindness, but there is no need, I can protect him." After speaking, he led Su Chen, who was vaguely understanding, to the parking lot , quickly disappeared into the shadow of the building.

(Volume [-]·End)

☆, time

The author has something to say: I have no pitfalls! ! !

Just playing too high...

By the way, Xiaochen has grown up~

When Zhou Zheng arrived home, it was completely dark. He walked into the house and didn't see Su Chen in the living room, so he asked the maid, "Has Xiaochen not come back yet?"

The maid replied: "The young master has come back, but he stayed in the room and did not come out."

Zhou Zheng nodded, changed into his home clothes, went upstairs and knocked on the door of Su Chen's room: "Xiao Chen?"

The door was quickly opened, and the handsome young man almost cheered and shouted: "Ah Zheng!"

Zhou Zheng patted his head and said with a smile, "Well, it's time to eat."

Su Chen, who is now 16 years old, is still very close to Zhou Zheng. Although he is already a high school student, he can't help but want to rely on Zhou Zheng; but as he gets older, he gradually becomes sensible and no longer moves around She nestled in Zhou Zheng's arms and acted like a baby.Sometimes, Su Chen would come up with some bad ideas. He was very smart since he was a child, and even more eccentric when he grew up, which often made Zhou Zheng dumbfounded. In the end, he had no choice but to help the little guy clean up the mess.

Zhou Zheng attributed all these behaviors of Su Chen to a little rebellion in adolescence. He only felt that compared to other people, his own child was well-behaved and smart, and he really couldn't be spoiled enough.

The two of them had dinner together as usual, when Zhou Zheng suddenly remembered something, and said, "There is a banquet tomorrow night, do you want to go together?"

"Okay," Su Chen replied without thinking, "Who did it this time?"

"It's run by Xie's family. Mr. Xie's grandson is one year old." After Zhou Zheng finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh when he saw Su Chen frowning, and asked, "Why, do you still remember her? She is married and has children. Well, it really has nothing to do with me."

Su Chen snorted softly: "It doesn't matter, what did she ask you to do?" But even though he said so, he knew in his heart that his mood came for no reason. Red up.

Seeing that his face was turning red, Zhou Zheng kindly changed the subject: "Then I will send Xiao Ji to pick you up at school tomorrow night, and you can choose a dress you like—by the way, help me choose a dress, wait for me Let's go together when we get back."

Su Chen's attention was immediately diverted, and while he was delighted to be able to help Zhou Zheng prepare the dress, he asked with concern, "Are you going to work overtime again?"

Zhou Zheng hesitated for a moment, but chose to tell the truth: "No, I have an appointment with Mu Qingyun tomorrow afternoon to discuss things."

After hearing the word "Mu Qingyun", Su Chen exploded as expected: "Why are you going to him again?!"

Zhou Zheng replied helplessly: "After all, they are all in business, and some things cannot be avoided, let alone..."

"What's more?" Hearing Zhou Zheng stop suddenly, Su Chen asked in puzzlement.

Zhou Zheng paused, and replied: "It's nothing. Are you going to take the midterm exam soon?"

Su Chen nodded: "The teacher said it will be at the beginning of next month."

"How are you getting ready?"

So the topic was once again diverted by Zhou Zheng.

However, Su Chen is obviously no longer as easy to coax as he was when he was a child. When he was sleeping at night, Su Chen lay on the bed facing the wall, with his back to Zhou Zheng, and closed his eyes silently, with an appearance of "I'm angry", Zhou Zheng, who came out of the shower, wanted to laugh, but also felt helpless.He opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, finally he turned off the light and lay down next to Su Chen, silently patting his back lightly, soundlessly coaxing him to sleep.

As soon as Zhou Zheng's hand touched Su Chen's back, he clearly felt the stiffness of the other party's body. With the pat of his palm, Su Chen's body gradually softened, and his breathing became longer. It didn't take long for Su Chen to be here. Sleeping in a slow rhythm, he habitually turned over and curled up in Zhou Zheng's arms.Zhou Zheng hugged Su Chen carefully, looked at Su Chen's sound sleep, smiled and said softly, "Good night, sweet dreams."

Four years ago, when Su Chen was 12 years old, Zhou Zheng also thought that the child had grown up and should let him sleep by himself, but after tidying up Su Chen's original room and letting the child go back to sleep on the first night, Zhou Zheng went to check in his room in the middle of the night, and saw Su Chen sitting on the bedside hugging his small pillow, with no sleepiness in his round eyes.

Seeing him coming in, the child called "A Zheng" uncertainly. Zhou Zheng felt as if his heart was being held tightly by someone, so he walked quickly to the bedside and asked, "What's the matter? Are you afraid of the dark? Or where?" uncomfortable?"

Su Chen replied: "I just can't sleep..." After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Zheng helplessly, and Zhou Zheng understood his meaning almost immediately: the child is not used to sleeping alone, so he can't sleep.Under Su Chen's gaze, Zhou Zheng compromised within a second of persistence, and Su Chen has lived in Zhou Zheng's room since then.

So even though he was still angry the night before, when Su Chen woke up the next morning and saw Zhou Zheng's smile, he habitually murmured, "Good morning, Ah Zheng." Only after waking up, Su Chen was belatedly aware of his one-sided cold war last night, but looking at Zhou Zheng's gentle and doting smile, Su Chen was really reluctant to ruin such a beautiful day, so he finally didn't do it again. Instead of mentioning what happened last night, he obediently finished breakfast with Zhou Zheng, and then went to school in Zhou Zheng's car.

After arriving at the school, Su Chen got off the car and said goodbye to Zhou Zheng. After walking a few steps to the teaching building with her schoolbag on her back, she heard a voice from far and near behind her shouting: "Xiao-chen-chen- !"

Su Chen turned his head, and as the last word "Chen" flew past his ears, a mountain bike passed him with a "swish", turned a small corner and stopped in the carport on the right side of the teaching building.Su Chen walked to the edge of the carport, Yuan Chong just locked the car and rushed out, the two brothers patted Su Chen on the shoulder: "Good morning!"

Su Chen glanced at him, nodded and said "yes", and then walked to the classroom, Yuan Chong didn't care about his indifferent attitude, and followed him and shared with him the gossip he had found in a loud voice: "Did you know? I heard that Liu Pinyuan from the next class likes the girl in our grade! Ah, it's Xue Yuanyuan from Class Six. But everyone can tell that Xue Yuanyuan has liked you for a long time..."

Yuan Chong now looks big and thick, and he was carved out of the same mold as his father, but he is not as fat as his father, and he looks like a handsome guy.It's just that this guy is too angry when he speaks, and almost every time he can attract the eyes of the students within a hundred meters. For example, now that Su Chen just finished listening to him, before he had time to speak, he heard a roar from the front: "Yuan Chong! Shut up!"

It was Liu Pinyuan who was walking in front of them.

Seeing the Lord's appearance, Yuan Chong curled his lips, and finally did not continue the topic, but he also ignored the angry Liu Pinyuan, but ignored the other party, turned his head and continued talking to Su Chen; Su Chen glanced at Liu Pinyuan, Walking towards the classroom without stopping, Yuan Chong followed him naturally. Liu Pinyuan stood there and glared at their backs, and in the end he didn't dare to say anything more: Yuan Chong was not afraid, but Su Chen couldn't afford to offend him.

Which of the students who can enter this school is either rich or expensive?But this is the only one like Su Chen who is cherished in the palm of his hand and loved on the tip of his heart, who is tightly protected no matter whether he is right or wrong, and who is reluctant to be beaten or scolded.

Su Chen didn't take this episode of the morning seriously at all. When he arrived in the classroom, he put away his schoolbag and took out a book from the desk to read. Actually took out the textbook and waited for class.

It's October now, and the weather is a bit chilly. After Su Chen finished two classes in the morning, the weather outside changed. Yuan Chong went out with a water glass. When he came back, he saw Su Chen holding a glass of hot water and sipping. While drinking, he asked strangely, "Huh? Where did you get the hot water? I just ran over and found that the water dispenser was broken."

Su Chen looked up at him and replied, "I brought it from home."

Yuan Chongtian handed over the cup with a straight face: "Pour some for me? This damn weather, it's almost freezing to death after going out..."

Su Chen poured him half a glass of water, and while they were talking, a classmate suddenly came over and said to Su Chen, "Someone is looking for you at the door."

Su Chen froze for a moment, went out for a while, and then returned to her seat with a thick windbreaker in her arms.Yuan Chong sighed enviously: "Uncle Zhou is really kind to you..."

Su Chen smiled and didn't answer, put the windbreaker on the back of the seat, after thinking about it, she couldn't help but put the clothes back in her arms, buried her whole face in it, and rubbed it lightly.The air conditioner is always on in the classroom, so it doesn’t make people feel cold. What really makes people feel a little cold is the few steps from the teaching building to the school gate. Su Chen can’t even take 5 minutes to trot, but it’s just this short distance On the road, Zhou Zheng still asked for clothes to come over, for fear that he would catch a cold.

This little thing made Su Chen very happy: Zhou Zheng always guarded him carefully, even though he can be regarded as half an adult now, Zhou Zheng still treats him like the child eight years ago, who would do anything for him He's thoughtful.

After school at noon, Su Chen put on the thick windbreaker, walked to the school gate and said goodbye to Yuan Chong. After getting into the car, she found that there was another person in the car besides Zhou Zheng.Su Chen glanced at the man sitting in the back row, and politely called out, "Mr. Mu is good."

Mu Qingyun laughed exaggeratedly twice, and said with an extremely indecent tone: "Xiao Chen, can you call me to listen?"

Su Chen ignored him, and Zhou Zheng in the driver's seat gave the child a doting smile: "Is it cold?"

Su Chen shook her head and smiled sweetly at him: "Aunt Wang brought me clothes."

Zhou Zheng reached out and touched Su Chen's face, then shook Su Chen's hand again. After making sure that the child was really not cold, he withdrew his hand and started the car. Mu Qingyun sat in the back and said with an unbearable expression: "I said Zhou Young Master, Xiaochen is 16 years old, isn't she six years old?!"

Hearing that Su Chen obediently sat in the passenger seat and did not speak, Zhou Zheng glanced at Mu Qingyun from the rearview mirror, ignored him, and continued to gently ask Su Chen about the school.

☆, playmate

After lunch, Su Chen went back to his room to take an afternoon nap. Zhou Zheng helped him close the shades and made sure that he had slept well before leading Mu Qingyun to the study.

As soon as Mu Qingyun entered the study, he unceremoniously found a chair and sat down. Zhou Zheng sat opposite him, with a stern face and a businesslike expression, he took out a stack of materials from the drawer and handed it over: "This It's the document you want..."

Mu Qingyun reached out to take the information, but did not read it right away, but put the things aside, and asked puzzledly: "Why did you ask me to come here? Didn't you make an appointment to discuss it in the company before, why did you suddenly change the location?" ? Something went wrong with the company?"

Zhou Zheng shook his head: "The company is fine, it's for personal reasons. Let's get down to business, the development project of Jindi Plaza..."

Hearing what he said, Mu Qingyun suddenly had a thought: "You...could it be because of Su Chen?"

Zhou Zheng glanced at him and nodded: "Xiaochen doesn't like me seeing you outside, because you always like to take your sister with you."

Mu Qingyun looked at him incredulously: "Aren't you..."

Zhou Zheng looked indifferent, without any intention of explaining his actions.

Although he knew that Zhou Zheng doted on Su Chen, Mu Qingyun still couldn't understand his behavior: "I said, you dote on Su Chen too much, don't you? Are you going to be single all your life because of him? Really, I think it’s good for you and Ziyan to be together. Ziyan likes you so much, and we are now in a cooperative relationship. It’s really great to kiss and kiss. It’s not me who is an older brother, but Ziyan likes you so much. She's excellent, and she's worthy enough for you. I think her attitude towards Su Chen is quite gentle, so you don't have to worry about her treating the child badly after she marries you..."

"Xiaochen doesn't like her." Zhou Zheng interrupted Mu Qingyun without hesitation, "Let's get down to business."

"It's not that Su Chen doesn't like her. That kid just treats everyone who likes you as an imaginary enemy, okay?" Mu Qingyun said, "Look at his attitude towards Xie Yun before, if he hadn't Little, I have to wonder if he likes you! Such a young child has such a strong desire to monopolize, and you are used to it."

Zhou Zheng was not moved by his words in the slightest, and replied naturally: "My child, of course I am used to it."

Mu Qingyun had nothing to do with him, and soon gave up lobbying, and mourned for his poor sister for five seconds in his heart, and then talked serious business with Zhou Zheng with a serious face.The two of them actually didn't have many things to discuss today, so Zhou Zheng chose a time at noon to talk. After the matter was finalized, Zhou Zheng sent Mu Qingyun out, and then turned back to wake up Su Chen who was taking a nap.

Su Chen got up from the bed in a daze, and after washing up, he found that Mu Qingyun had left.Recalling what happened last night, he couldn't help blinking his big bright eyes at Zhou Zheng, and asked expectantly, "Mr. Mu is gone?"

Zhou Zheng nodded, opened the car door for him and signaled him to go up, Su Chen climbed into the car and fastened his seat belt, and asked, "Then you don't have to ask him out this afternoon?"

Zhou Zheng sat down next to him with a smile, nodded and said, "Yes, I won't see that Miss Mu Ziyan either. What's the matter? Are you planning to get angry with me?"

Su Chen shook her head vigorously, leaned back on her seat, and rolled her eyes with a smile.

Because of the change of schedule, Zhou Zheng finished work early in the afternoon and drove to school to pick up Su Chen home.The cook at home had already prepared meals and put them on the dining table. Zhou Zheng put a shrimp in Su Chen's bowl: "Don't eat too much, just pad your stomach."

Even though he said so, Su Chen looked at the table of dishes he liked, and finally couldn't help but eat a big bowl of rice. Zhou Zheng didn't stop him, and waited for him to stop his chopsticks before reaching out to touch his stomach , After making sure that he is not full, go upstairs with him to change clothes.The clothes were chosen by Su Chen last night. Zhou Zheng took his own set and quickly tidied himself up, and then helped Su Chen straighten the neckline.He looked at the two standing side by side in the mirror with satisfaction, resisted reaching out to rub Su Chen's freshly arranged hair, and took the child into the car.

It was still early when they arrived at the meeting place. Zhou Zheng led Su Chen to chat with some old people in the circle, and then saw a young man walking over.The young man stood still in front of Zhou Zheng unhurriedly, and greeted Zhou Zheng politely: "Brother Zhou."

It was Yun Zhonglin, the second youngest of the Yun family.

Zhou Zheng nodded: "You came with your elder brother?"

Yun Zhonglin nodded, looked at Su Chen who was beside Zhou Zheng, and asked, "Can I take Su Chen there?" He pointed to a corner of the venue, and Zhou Zheng looked in that direction, I saw a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys and girls gathered there, and one of the girls probably saw the movement on their side and waved happily to them.

Zhou Zheng never restricted Su Chen from socializing. He patted Su Chen on the back lightly and said with a smile, "Go if you want, but don't drink too much." He actually wanted to explain something else, but Because of Yun Zhonglin's presence, Zhou Zheng didn't want Su Chen to lose face in front of his peers, so he swallowed all his instructions and watched Su Chen leave with Yun Zhonglin.

Su Chen and this group of peers are actually not familiar, and following Yun Zhonglin is just to give each other face, after all, Yun Zhonglin is probably his only friend in this circle - the upstart Yuan Chong's family Type of businessmen are not counted.

However, although his attitude was indifferent, it couldn't stop the others from showing their affection enthusiastically. A girl held a crystal clear cocktail and handed it to Su Chen: "Young Master Su, long time no see."

Su Chen glanced at her, but didn't recognize the other party's identity, but politely declined the other party's invitation: "Thank you, I don't drink."

The girl saw that his expression was calm but his attitude was very tough, so she put down the wine glass tactfully and stopped persuading him. Yun Zhonglin said a few words just to ease the atmosphere, and quickly put this little episode to rest.

Su Chen listened to their chat, and he didn't interrupt much. Although his face still had a casual expression, in fact, he had quickly divided the conversation into two parts in his mind: those related to Zhou Zheng, and those related to Zhou Zheng. unrelated.Su Chen has to go to class on weekdays, and he doesn't know much about Zhou Zheng's life. There are some things that Zhou Zheng won't tell him, and he can only know through the gossip of these boys and girls. This is why Su Chen will follow Yun Zhonglin One of the important reasons for coming here.

——Su Chen knew about Mu Ziyan's thoughts on Zhou Zheng through this channel.

However, Su Chen didn't gain much today. He took a glass of orange juice and shook it in his hand. Hearing the boring stereotypes in his ears, he gradually became fascinated. When he was thinking about how to spend Christmas this year, he suddenly heard someone greet him : "Hello, Young Master Su."

Su Chen came back to his senses and saw a boy standing in front of him with a glass of orange juice, so he nodded slightly: "Hello."

The boy withdrew his hand holding the goblet in embarrassment, and Su Chen realized that the other party wanted to clink glasses with him.

However, the boy quickly adjusted his facial expression, and introduced himself with a smile: "My name is Xue Qian."

Surname Xue?I wonder if it has anything to do with Xue Yuanyuan?Su Chen thought about this, and nodded towards the young man, not knowing how to answer, so he simply kept silent.Seeing that Su Chen ignored him, the young man was a little bit ashamed and resentful, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only hold it in his heart, and turned to talk to other people.

"Why don't you talk?" Yun Zhonglin chatted with the others for a while, and seeing Su Chen sitting alone again, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.He really regarded Su Chen as a friend, because he saw that Su Chen didn't have any playmates of the same age around him, so he tried his best to let Su Chen integrate into this group. After all, everyone is in this circle and they are familiar with each other. There is no harm in gaining a foothold in the future.

But Su Chen didn't appreciate it: "There's nothing to say."

Yun Zhonglin sighed softly: "You..." Fortunately, he was used to Su Chen's character, and he didn't force him when he saw that the other party had no intention of speaking. After a few words, he went back to continue building his own network.Since he met Su Chen in junior high school, the other party has always been like this, with a straight face all day long, imitating Zhou Zheng's indifferent but polite manner to outsiders.

Indifferent and haughty, with no dust in his eyes, yet he has such a lovable face, so handsome and delicate, one can't help but want to get close to him.

Su Chen stayed among this group of people for a while, and finally felt bored. After saying hello to Yun Zhonglin, he turned and left.As he walked slowly towards the center of the venue, he searched for Zhou Zheng's figure in the crowd, and the whispers behind him came to his ears along with the music.

"What are you dragging, a bastard who doesn't know where he came from, but he is so proud of being loved by Uncle Zhou..."

"That's not right! Let me tell you, wait a few years for Uncle Zhou to get married, heh..."

"I don't know why Uncle Zhou dotes on him so much. I heard that it's because he rejected Miss Ziyan..."

"I've never seen a family who picks up a child randomly and spoils it like this before. Maybe it's an illegitimate child..."

"Hey, it looks more like..."

"Tsk," a mocking voice suddenly interjected, "If you have the ability to make irresponsible remarks here, why don't you dare to say it in front of others?"

"you……"

Probably because of being discovered, the voice behind was much quieter, Su Chen raised his eyebrows, did not turn around to look, but continued to look around, and saw Zhou Zheng not long after.

Zhou Zheng had already seen him and was striding towards him; a man and a woman stood not far behind Zhou Zheng, who seemed to be talking about something, it was Mu Qingyun and his sister, Mu Ziyan.

☆, 20 dinner (repair)

Not long after Su Chen left, Zhou Zheng met Mu Qingyun who came belatedly with his younger sister.

Mu Ziyan is wearing a purple evening dress tonight, her long jet-black hair is draped over her back, and the jewel brooch pinned to her chest perfectly adorns her makeup, making her look more radiant and radiant.With a faint smile on her face, she walked into the venue gracefully holding Mu Qingyun's hand. The elegant temperament she showed in her gestures attracted countless young people's attention.

Zhou Zheng only glanced at the siblings, then turned to look at Su Chen not far away.Ever since Su Chen was bullied by a group of peers at a banquet when he was ten years old, he didn't dare to let Su Chen play alone on this occasion. Although he still encouraged Su Chen to socialize with peers, he would Watching Su Chen in the dark to prevent him from being bullied by others.

But since that incident happened six years ago, basically no children from any family dared to bully Su Chen.

Not long after Zhou Zheng stood there, Mu Qingyun led Mu Ziyan up to him. Mu Qingyun picked up a glass of red wine from the dining table: "Master, we meet."

Zhou Zheng touched him lightly with his wine glass, took a sip of red wine as a greeting, and then nodded to Mu Ziyan: "Miss Mu, long time no see."

Mu Ziyan smiled sweetly: "Long time no see, Young Master."

Naturally, no one would talk about commercial secrets at this kind of banquet, and Mu Qingyun and Zhou Zheng talked about insignificant things, but even so, Zhou Zheng did not show the slightest impatience, but politely replied.
