Depressed wife runs with the ball

Chapter 123 They Can’t Get Married

Zhou Xingzhi turned around, pulled her hand away, and looked at her triumphantly. "How could there be anything I can't do?"

"Then why are you so angry?" She felt it was dirty to wear outer clothes and trousers on the bed and wanted to get out of bed. Zhou Xingzhi picked her up by the waist and said, "Let's wash together."

After taking a bath, Chu Yue was exhausted. Back in bed, she just sullenly said, "I will never take a bath with you again."

When Chu Jinyue got up to eat breakfast in the morning, he didn't sleep well. First, he hadn't adjusted to the time difference, and second, he was disturbed by the sound of water upstairs. Sitting at the table, he asked, "What were you two doing on the second floor last night? That sound of water lasted for a long time."

Chu Yue nearly spit out the sandwich in her mouth and coughed several times without stopping. Zhou Xingzhi was also stunned for two minutes. He patted her back and asked, "Is the soundproofing so bad?"

"The two of you took at least two hours to shower together." Chu Jinyue added.

Chu Yue coughed even more violently, and Zhou Xingzhi quickly handed her some water, patted her back, coughed, and said to Chu Jinyue, "Ahem, you're still young and don't understand."

"Ah?" Chu Jinyue frowned, his face full of question marks. Does bathing time have anything to do with age? "Sister, do you have a cold? You keep coughing."

When Chu Yue looked up, her entire face was red. "No, I just... choked, cough cough!" She quickly drank a few more sips of water and kicked Zhou Xingzhi with her foot.

"I... will be more careful next time." Zhou Xingzhi felt a little embarrassed and apologized to her.

"What are you paying attention to? You're a grown man, are you so particular about taking a bath?" Chu Jinyue thought it was because his sister took a long time to take a bath. Zhou Xingzhi stepped on him hard under the table and warned him with his teeth bared: "Stop talking!"

Chu Jinyue screamed in pain and complained to his sister: "Hiss! Sister, this guy stepped on me!"

Chu Yue covered her eyes and laughed at the table, her shoulders shaking. "Stop it!" It took several minutes for her to recover.

After buying some winter clothes for Huang Yunfu, they went to visit him in prison. When Huang Yunfu knew her son was coming, she burst into tears and complained to him.

Huang Yunfu, perhaps because he'd been in there too long, had always harbored suspicions about Chu Jie'an's death. He told Chu Jinyue, "You need to keep the compensation from the driver who killed your father. Don't let your sister handle it, okay? Also, tell your sister not to get too close to the Zhou family. Tell her to break up with her boyfriend."

"Mom, what are you talking about? They are getting married soon." Although Chu Jinyue disliked his brother-in-law, he couldn't stop his sister if she wanted to get married.

"They can't get married! Your father was killed by the Zhou family! If your father hadn't received a call from Zhou Jihuai, how could he have gone out? How could he have had a car accident?" Huang Yunfu always felt that the Zhou family was responsible for this matter.

Zhou Xingzhi and Chu Yue were waiting downstairs in the meeting building. After the meeting, Chu Jinyue went downstairs to meet them.

"What did you say?" Chu Yue asked.

Come to think of it, she hadn't seen her mother for a long time, and she actually still missed her a little.

"Nothing much, just talking about family, company, and some of Dad's affairs after his death. Has the driver who caused the accident been prosecuted?" Chu Jinyue gestured for the two to go to the parking lot.

"Not yet. They said the chain of evidence is not complete." Zhou Xingzhi was in charge of these matters. He was not allowed to do so at first, but he insisted on doing so. He changed the contact information for the police and the judicial department to his own, and asked the lawyer to report to him.

Chu Yue, on the other hand, couldn't get involved. He even said that she had already been worried enough about the previous matters, and that she could just leave the trivial matters to him.

Chu Jinyue nodded thoughtfully, thinking that what his mother said was not impossible. "Sister, have you seen the driver who caused the accident?"

"I've seen him once, at the police station," Chu Yue replied with a nod. She remembered the truck driver as disheveled, likely from days of driving without much rest. He was probably in his 40s. The officer who spoke with him had explained his family situation: he had elderly parents and young children, and his financial situation was average.

"Mom is still thinking about Dad's compensation." Chu Jinyue sat in the back seat, holding the back of his head with both hands, and leaned back in the back seat carelessly. It must be said that the Maybach is comfortable to sit in, much more comfortable than the small Mercedes-Benz at home.

Chu Yue was complaining in his heart, he didn't know when the perpetrator would be sentenced, and his family couldn't afford the compensation.

Look at Zhou Xingzhi, he just drives and doesn't mention these things.

"You're supposed to graduate next year, right? Do you want to intern at Xinghui for a while before taking over Anjie?"

Zhou Xingzhi thought that he was his brother-in-law after all, so it was his duty to take care of him. He couldn't make things difficult for his wife just because he didn't like him.

"It's not your turn to worry." Chu Jinyue still refused to give in.

Chu Yue was still thinking about what Huang Yunfu had said to his brother and was in no mood to care about these two people.

"Can you drive? How long will you be home? Your sister and I have to work, so we can't accompany you on weekdays. Do you want to drive around by yourself? I'll have the driver bring you the car keys."

Zhou Xingzhi felt that Chu Jinyue should stay for a few days. He couldn't ask her sister to take so many days off to accompany him. He should be familiar with Qiancheng. Maybe he wanted to get together with classmates or meet some friends. It would be convenient to have a car.

"I have to go home, sister. Let's go together. Why don't we go now?"

The two people looked at Chu Yue at the same time.

"No." Chu Yue didn't want to go back. That place wasn't her home, and she didn't want Chu Jinyue to go back alone and be saddened by the scene, so she directly rejected his proposal.

Zhou Xingzhi felt that she was not in a good mood after coming out of prison.

"Don't you have classmates in Qiancheng? Why not get together with them?" Chu Yue gave him some advice.

Chu Jinyue actually wanted to talk to her sister about their mother's opinion on her marriage, but she didn't dare to say it in front of Zhou Xingzhi. He looked really scary last night. He seemed expressionless, but the atmosphere at home was very depressing.

"Sister, when are you planning to get married?" Although I can't tell my mom that she doesn't agree with our marriage, I can at least go to the United States to study and delay it for a while, right?

"Not so soon. Let's talk about it after you graduate." Chu Yue was playing a single-player game on her mobile phone and answered him without thinking.

When Zhou Xingzhi heard Chu Jinyue ask about this topic, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but they instantly deflated when he heard Chu Yue's answer.

"He will graduate in May, so it won't take that long, right? Aren't New Year's Day or the period near the Spring Festival good days?" His wife doesn't want a formal status, but he does.

"Actually, I want to wait until he takes over Anjie before considering marriage." Chu Yue was not considering his younger brother. He felt that Zhou Kecheng would not easily agree to their marriage and would definitely come to him to negotiate terms.

She also didn't want Zhou Xingzhi to be caught in the middle after marrying him, so she also wanted to hear why Zhou Kecheng didn't agree to their marriage.

"Whether he takes over or not won't conflict with our marriage. Besides, after we get married, he'll have me, his brother-in-law, to teach him how to run the company. What's wrong with that?"

"Hey, hey, hey, my sister is getting married, so I have to be there, right? It's New Year's Day or Spring Festival, and I won't be there, so why are you getting married? Zhou Xingzhi, are you bullying my sister because she has no one in her family?" Chu Jinyue felt uncomfortable when he heard him calling him brother-in-law. They were not married, but he treated these things as established facts.

It made sense, he said. Surely no one from my mother's family would come? But wouldn't it be after May when my brother graduated?

"How about we do it in the next few days?" After thinking about it, he felt that it was a bit urgent these days, but it was not impossible.

"No! Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't I agree to your proposal? Could it be possible that I would change my mind?" Chu Yue felt that he was really anxious about getting married, but she didn't know what he was anxious about.

...Isn't this the case of more dreams at night?

Chu Jinyue also stretched out his index finger and waved his hand and said, "No, No, No, my sister is getting married, and as her younger brother, I must help her prepare the dowry. Zhou Xingzhi, don't try to fool my sister."
