Zhou Pingjiang had recovered, and everyone had relaxed.
Old Master Zhou pulled Su Chen aside and asked him about his grandfather.
Zhao Guirong was all smiles as she busied herself in the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Zhou Pingjiang and Zhou Wanqiu were having a secret discussion in the study.
At this moment, the two of them had serious expressions.
"Dad! What do we do about that country bumpkin? I get annoyed just by looking at him!"
"But Grandpa wants me to get married to him and get our marriage certificate. He even wants me to sleep in the same room as him!"
Zhou Wanqiu was frustrated.
Zhou Pingjiang said helplessly, "That kid's grandfather saved your grandfather back in the day. Your grandfather values relationships and credibility the most. I can't do anything about it!"
"Unless… That kid gives up on his own!"
Zhou Wanqiu's eyes lit up.
"That's right! I'll think of a way to make that country bumpkin give up on his own accord!"
"Hmph! He Junying pursued me for so long, but I didn't agree to be with him."
"This Su Chen doesn't deserve me!"
Zhou Wanqiu's beautiful eyes were filled with disdain.
"Alright!"
Zhou Pingjiang waved his hand. "Be careful tonight! Although this kid looks honest, we have to be wary of him."
"If he dares to mess around, just call for help!"
Zhou Wanqiu listened carefully.
Zhou Pingjiang continued, "Let's put Su Chen aside for now."
"What we need to do next is to find out who in the company did it! In addition, you have to be on guard!"
"Now is the crucial moment for our family to take down Tianhao Group's bid. We must be careful. "
Zhou Wanqiu nodded.
The two of them chatted for a while before emerging from the study.
As soon as they came out, they heard Old Master Zhou's joyful laughter in the hall.
Zhou Wanqiu pouted as she looked at Su Chen who was chatting happily with Zhou Rongchang.
"Country bumpkin! A bootlicker! You only know how to suck up to my grandfather!"
Zhou Wanqiu deliberately spoke without lowering her voice.
Su Chen acted as if he didn't hear her and continued to smile.
To be honest, he had a good feeling about the Zhou family.
Old Master Zhou was very concerned about him. Zhou Wanqiu's mother, Zhao Guirong, was also very friendly.
Su Chen felt warm and at home here.
As for Zhou Wanqiu's resentment, he could completely understand and accept it.
He would just pretend to be oblivious!
Zhou Wanqiu saw Su Chen's goofy expression and felt like she had accomplished nothing.
She felt very uncomfortable!
Not long after, Zhao Guirong finished cooking and began serving food.
The family ate happily.
In the late autumn of the Zhou Dynasty, it tasted very good.
Suddenly, Zhou Wanqiu's beautiful eyes lit up.
She thought of a good idea.
She knew how to drive Su Chen away!
After dinner...
"Wanqiu, go on a walk with Su Chen and have a heart-to-heart," Zhou Rongchang said.
Su Chen glanced at Zhou Rongchang.
This old man was a little too powerful!
However, Zhou Wanqiu probably wouldn't agree.
However…
"Sure!" Zhou Wanqiu agreed.
Even Zhou Pingjiang looked at Zhou Wanqiu in confusion.
"Ah, that's great!" Zhao Guirong laughed. "Youngsters who talk more will develop feelings for each other."
Zhou Wanqiu smiled, but she was sneering internally.
'Haha! I won't be able to get along with this country bumpkin for the rest of my life.'
Su Chen was surprised by Zhou Wanqiu's attitude, but he didn't say anything.
After dinner...
Zhou Wanqiu led Su Chen around the villa.
She seemed very enthusiastic.
Then, she brought Su Chen outside the villa.
However, just as they reached the outside compound, Wanqiu Zhou suddenly turned around and faced Su Chen.
"Su Chen, we can't be together!"
Could he see it?
Su Chen raised an eyebrow.
He said, "Actually, I don't think we should be together either."
Zhou Wanqiu was delighted.
"But my grandfather told me to marry you and stay with you for a year!" Su Chen continued. "He said that after a year, I would reap great benefits."
"My grandfather is usually right! He said that I'll reap great benefits, so that's certain!"
The smile on Zhou Wanqiu's face disappeared.
'What bullsh*t benefits!
'Only a fool like you would believe that!'
A year later? She could be pregnant by then!
Was this what his grandfather meant?
Zhou Wanqiu continued discussing the marriage and tried to keep her expression sincere.
"I'll tell you the truth!"
Zhou Wanqiu looked conflicted. "Actually…I don't like men. I like women!"
Su Chen was stunned.
Then, he took two steps back.
"What? You like women?"
Su Chen felt a headache come on.
What the f*ck was going on?
His grandpa wanted him to marry this rich woman, but she liked girls.
"Do you really like women?"
Su Chen scratched his head.
Although his medical skills were very good, he could prescribe nothing for this issue!
Zhou Wanqiu was secretly pleased to see the change in Su Chen's expression.
This was the highlight of her day!
She had rendered him speechless.
"It's true!"
"If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you!"
As she spoke, Zhou Wanqiu took out her phone and dialed a number.
She put it on speaker.
After the call connected, a soft and charming female voice came from the other end. "Baby, did you miss me?"
"That's right, honey! I want a kiss!" Zhou Wanqiu pouted.
Su Chen was dumbfounded.
This was f*cking real!
He hadn't even gotten married yet, but another woman had stolen his wife.
The women spoke in a lovey-dovey way in front of Su Chen.
By the time they hung up, Su Chen's expression was bitter.
This was a huge loss!
"That... Do you want to try changing your preference?" Su Chen suggested.
Zhou Wanqiu suppressed her laughter. "I was born this way. I can't change!"
"Moreover, I feel like men are only good for reproduction. A relationship with the same sex shows true love!"
"Su Chen, maybe you can consider the opposite sex too! I have a wonderful bodyguard, and I think you two would hit it off!"
Su Chen was speechless.
Was she being perverted?
"Forget it! I don't need that! Thank you!"
"I'm going for a walk!"
After saying that, Su Chen left.
His head was spinning!
Zhou Wanqiu laughed as she watched Su Chen flee.
She picked up her phone and dialed the number from before.
"Haha! Qingqing, you're indeed my best friend. You acted so well just now. That country bumpkin must have believed you. His face turned green!"
"Will he try to win you over? He's quite young."
"I reckon he'll give up soon."
...
Meanwhile...
Su Chen's expression was melancholic as he walked.
'What should I do? Grandpa wants me to marry Wanqiu and be with her for at least a year. However, she's a lesbian. What should I do?
'I knew it. Grandpa is a master con man. Why would he give me such a good mission?
'Now, I don't even know where he is. I can't even find him if I want to ask him for advice.'
At this moment...
Su Chen's expression changed as he gazed at the street corner.
"Who is it?"
"Get out here!"
"Mr. Su Chen, it's me!"
Sun Zhongjing approached him awkwardly.
Su Chen was surprised.
After Zhou Pingjiang recovered, Sun Zhongjing had left. Why was he back here now?
"Doctor Sun, why are you following me? I'm blocking your path to wealth. Do you want to teach me a lesson?" Su Chen said indifferently.
He had heard his grandfather mention it before.
Blocking someone's way to wealth was akin to killing their parents.
Did he offend Sun Zhongjing because he cured Zhou Pingjiang?
