Chapter 371 A Conscious Little 3
The middle-aged man was two years older than Lin Chen's father. When he saw the man approaching, Lin Chen reluctantly greeted him, "Hello, Uncle."
Jiang Zhouzhou's lips twitched slightly.
Perhaps because she knew about the man's relationship with Zhou Xian, she simply couldn't bring herself to call him "uncle."
He greeted him politely, "Hello, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Wen first glanced at Jiang Zhouzhou, then smiled and said, "Seeing is believing, no wonder A-Xian is so fond of you, you really are beautiful."
His voice was refined and gentle, but his words were full of sarcasm.
Lin Chen's expression changed.
Jiang Zhouzhou frowned slightly as she carefully examined the middle-aged man in front of her.
Lin Chen said, "Uncle Zhou, please don't joke around. Zhouzhou and Zhou Xian have absolutely no relation."
Zhou Wen smiled calmly: "It seems Miss Jiang is indeed very charming. She was with Gu Nanfeng a few days ago, and today she is standing with Young Master Lin."
Jiang Zhou met his mockery in his eyes and said indifferently, "Mr. Zhou, you can speak frankly without beating around the bush."
Zhou Wen raised an eyebrow; time had etched several fine lines on this man's face.
"Actually, I'd like to know more about Miss Jiang's thoughts on A-Xian."
"I guess Nephew Lin has already told you about my relationship with Zhou Xian. That kid is younger than my son. Although I am his older brother, I have always treated him as a junior."
“He was disobedient since he was a child and always gave me a headache. I care about him more than my own son.”
"Now he finally likes a girl. Although this girl comes from an ordinary family, as long as he likes her, I, as the eldest brother, will naturally accept it."
"only……"
"This girl is also involved in ambiguous relationships with other men, so I couldn't help but come and ask her myself."
His eyes were sharp, staring straight at Jiang Zhouzhou.
If other girls heard his words, they would probably be furious, but Jiang Zhouzhou's reaction was very calm.
Just as she was about to say something, a voice spoke first.
His cold tone carried an inhuman indifference, and even when facing an elder, his aura remained sharp: "The Zhou family is in dire straits right now. Mr. Zhou, a busy man like you, doesn't care about the situation of his own company, but instead comes to take the initiative to care about a girl's love life. You really have a lot of free time."
Upon seeing Gu Nanfeng, Zhou Wen's smile faded.
Was deliberately mentioning "the Zhou family's precarious situation" a subtle threat to him?
The Gu family has really raised a troublesome little fox.
Zhou Wen twitched the corners of his mouth, his smile returning to normal: "Nephew Gu is joking. I was just concerned about the relationship between Ah Xian and Miss Jiang, and I didn't mean to make things difficult for Miss Jiang."
Gu Nanfeng smiled and said, "Oh, I'm also quite concerned about the stock price fluctuations of Zhou's Enterprises. Do you need my help?"
Zhou Wen's expression froze instantly, and he could no longer maintain the smile on his lips.
He leaned closer to Gu Nanfeng and whispered, "Are you sure you want to do this for a woman?"
Gu Nanfeng also lowered his voice and said coldly, "I don't want to get involved in your Zhou family's affairs, but don't even think about making a move on her."
The commotion gradually attracted the attention of some people, and even the music played by the band seemed to quiet down a bit.
The two parted on bad terms, and Zhou Wen left with a cold face.
Lin Chen rolled his eyes as he watched Zhou Wen's retreating figure: "What a hypocritical old man."
Jiang Zhouzhou nodded secretly in agreement, even though Zhou Xian had never told her about his complicated family relationships.
But if he truly grew up in a loving environment, he wouldn't pitifully say to her, "Jiang Zhouzhou, I have no home anymore."
No one in his family truly loved him.
Even though the middle-aged man spoke in a high-sounding manner, his attitude was clearly a test.
Zhou Xian seemed to want to avoid being associated with her in the eyes of outsiders, and Jiang Zhouzhou also wisely kept their relationship private.
She would only indulge him a little when they returned to the apartment.
Jiang Zhouzhou blinked and said admiringly, "Brother Nanfeng, you're amazing! You never lose a debate."
Gu Nanfeng couldn't help but chuckle: "In the future, if you encounter someone who makes you uncomfortable by saying these things, you can also retort yourself."
Jiang Zhouzhou muttered softly, "I was just about to retort, but you beat me to it."
Lin Chen, standing to the side, reminded her, "If Zhouzhou ever runs into anyone from the Zhou family, she must stay far away. Apart from Zhou Xian, there isn't a single good person in the Zhou family."
Actually, I also want to say that Zhou Xian is no good either.
The Zhou family's rise to power is dishonorable, and they still engage in some shady business dealings behind the scenes.
Now that Mr. Zhou is still alive, things are calm for the time being.
Once he dies, those people will probably do anything ruthless in their fight for his inheritance.
Lin Chen's eyes suddenly darkened. If the Zhou family really wanted to use Zhou Zhou to make Zhou Xian give up his inheritance rights, he was powerless to protect Zhou Zhou.
It seems that only Gu Nanfeng can protect Zhouzhou.
He took two steps back, distancing himself from Jiang Zhouzhou: "Zhouzhou, since Brother Nanfeng is here, I'll be leaving now. You two can continue your conversation."
Jiang Zhouzhou looked at him with a puzzled expression: "It's okay! You don't need to leave."
Unexpectedly, Lin Chen shook his head: "No, I won't bother you."
He sniffed.
If you're going to be a mistress, you should be prepared for the consequences.
When the empress appears, one should learn to willingly relinquish her position.
To be honest, he felt he had let Nanfeng down.
Nanfeng always treated him like a younger brother, but he went and ruined their relationship.
Jiang Zhouzhou frowned as she watched Lin Chen's hasty departure: "What happened to him?"
Gu Nanfeng said thoughtfully, "He's probably imagining some strange plot again!"
The two were chatting and laughing, but what they did seemed particularly jarring to another person.
Sheng Jingyao stood in the crowd, surrounded by admirers.
Just like his name suggests, he was exceptionally dazzling simply by standing there.
But his eyes were dull and lifeless, as if veiled by a thin gauze. He gripped the wine glass tightly with his knuckles, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.
She was all smiles and laughter with other men, yet she was so cruel to him.
Even that sleazy guy who danced provocatively during a live stream could stand next to her.
Why didn't he have a chance?
