The surprise of her brother’s willingness to talk made Jin Yan’s mind go blank, and she nodded her head: “If you like it, take it.”
When looking at the younger brother who hasn’t been very responsive to people and burying his head in the picture, Jin Yan looked up at Ji Changze with complicated eyes.
“This painting …”
Ji Changze didn’t explain much, just nodded to her and smiled, “Those who understand will naturally understand.”
Jin Yan: “…”
Sometimes she really wanted to choke Ji Changze.
And it almost came true several times.
She was just about to continue to ask, when Mother Zhou, who was inside, saw the two and waved to them with a smile, “Ranran, Changze, come in, let me introduce you to your Uncle Zhang.”
The elders called for them, so even if Jin Yan wanted to ask about this painting, she could only temporarily suppress it.
“You go, I’ll send Xiao Cheng back, and I’ll find you later.”
Zhou Ranran nodded, and touched Jin Cheng’s head, who was looking at the painting obediently.
She was in a good mood, but she didn’t think much about it. She was just happy for her husband because Jin Cheng liked his painting so much.
“Changze, let’s go.”
Ji Changze nodded, smiled, and looked at the boy who was staring at the picture, then went in with his wife.
Jin Yan waited for them to leave before she too went over to focus on the painting.
Strange, where is the warmth?
This painting was obviously mainly in cool colors.
But …
It’s so ugly.
She was a little disgusted, but she couldn’t help smiling when she saw her brother liked it so much.
“Xiao Cheng, you’ve never liked something so much.”
Jin Cheng, who has always been immersed in his own world and never responded to others, opened his mouth again. He cherished this painting and crisply replied; “I feel so comfortable looking at it.”
In the ballroom, Zhou Ranran looked back at Jin Cheng, who was held in Jin Yan’s arms. “Changze, you are amazing. Xiao Cheng refused to speak when he turned 5-year-old.”
“He looked inside his heart and felt comfortable. He definitely would speak.”
Ji Changze was much more patient with his wife than Jin Yan, and while walking forward with her, he explained, “Xiao Cheng doesn’t see things the same way as the average person does.”
Zhou Ranran seemed to understand.
But this didn’t prevent her from worshipping her husband.
She knew Changze was the best!!!
When Mrs. Zhou saw the two coming, she asked them to come over quickly with a smile, “Hurry up, come and greet your Uncle Zhang.”
Ji Changze stepped forward, smiled politely at the old man, and greeted Uncle Zhang.
The old man, however, did not have much enthusiasm for their two juniors. To be precise, he did not have much enthusiasm for Mother Zhou either, only a cold, light smile.
“Your daughter and son-in-law are here, so I’ll go over there and meet my old friends first.”
After talking to Mother Zhou, he turned and left.
Being given the cold shoulder in front of the juniors, the smile on Mother Zhou’s face twitched a little.
But there were so many people here, and she could only hold on, to prevent others from seeing a joke.
Ji Changze looked at the old man’s back and asked, “As I recall, Zhou’s and their company have a partnership, right?”
“Yes, now that Ranran’s father had an accident, their side’s attitude had suddenly gone cold.”
Although the Zhou’s didn’t fall, this time their company decided not to cooperate. It was almost the same as falling.
Zhou Ranran didn’t understand this, but he also felt strange, “But the contract was signed before.”
Ji Changze shook his head.
“Terminating the contract without violating the contract is a simple thing. It’s not like they’re saying they’re going to directly cancel the contract, but will drag it on. Right now, the company’s internal and external troubles couldn’t afford to drag it on, so we could only take the initiative to terminate the contract with them. After, he would come forward, saying he wouldn’t ask for compensation because of the good relationship between the two families. That’s the same as him gaining profit and still gaining face.”
Mother Zhou looked at Ji Changze in surprise.
She originally thought Ji Changze simply saw through that man’s plan but didn’t expect him to be so knowledgeable in this area as well.
Not wanting to worry her daughter, she pushed down her thoughts for the moment and smiled.
“Well, go and see for yourselves, that’s where the young people are gathering.”
Ji Changze looked up at where Mother Zhou was pointing and saw that there were young people sitting together in twos and threes because the elders were there and they didn’t make much noise.
After saying goodbye to Mother Zhou, he was about to go over with Zhou Ranran when he noticed the look of rejection and hesitation on the face of the person beside him.
Ji Changze asked, “What’s the matter? It seems like you don’t really want to go over there.”
Zhou Ranran sipped her lips. Her beautiful face showed some hesitation.
“There are a few over there that I don’t have a good relationship with. Every time they meet with me they talk badly.”
“If they speak badly we do not have to spoil them, what about speaking directly, is that bad too?”
Zhou Ranran shook her head, “Their families have cooperation with our family. The company is now like this, I do not want to give Mom any trouble.”
Ji Changze understood.
In fact, Zhou Ranran’s personality wasn’t at all like that of a spoiled young lady.
Or because the Zhou family hadn’t made a fortune when she was a child. Her father and mother were busy with their careers, and both elders had already died. So, they had to give Zhou Ranran to a nanny to take care of.
No matter how carefully the nanny took care of her, she wasn’t her own child. When she went to school, she never had her parents pick her up, so she developed a timid temper. Even if she made efforts to improve, later on, her temper was still a little weak.
In addition, when she was a child, she was in poor health and couldn’t waste so much energy. The Zhou parents never talked about the company in front of her and didn’t expect her to come to the company to preside over the overall situation. They just wanted their daughter to stay safe and sound.
Zhou Ranran knew that her parents were good to her, but to others, she was just a waste. Something has happened to her own company, but she could only hide at home and couldn’t even go out.
Isn’t that a topic that could be brought up for those who didn’t get along with her?
Ji Changze screw those people over, if he wanted to, those young people that don’t know how to find their own way in life, and they still wouldn’t be able to find anything wrong with what he did. But seeing Zhou Ranran hanging her head in inferiority, he silently sighed.
“Okay, then let’s sit somewhere else.”
Zhou Ranran nodded and sat down with her husband on the sofa on the other side.
“Ranran, when we get back I’ll teach you how to handle the company, okay?”
Ji Changze brought her a small cake and whispered, “You seem to be interested in these things.”
Zhou Ranran took the cake, but her expression was still somewhat at a loss, “I’m not interested either. I just don’t want to rely on my parents all the time. I couldn’t help Dad this time.”
Sometimes she thought she was really useless. Her parents love her so much, but she couldn’t help at all.
“That’s because you haven’t learned. When you were in school your grades were always very good, right? So, I’ll teach you after we get back, wait until Dad wakes up, if you want to go to the company, you can tell him. Anyway, if you can’t, it could be considered as gaining some experience.”
Zhou Ranran looked tangled and hesitated, “But I can’t do anything when I go to the company. What should I do if I embarrass them? “
“You are the big lady of the company, who would dare to laugh at you?”
Ji Changze smiled and picked up a small cherry on the cake with his fork and delivered it to Zhou Ranran’s mouth.
Even though they were married, Zhou Ranran couldn’t help but blush when she saw her good-looking husband feeding her cherries with such a light smile.
She opened her mouth slightly, and before she could bite, Jin Yan’s voice came from behind her, “Ranran, how did you get here …?”
Before the words were finished, Jin Yan came in front of them and saw the scene. Really toothache-inducing.
The sour smell of love.
Blinding her single dog’s eyes.
Zhou Ranran ate that cherry in a hurry, a little shy and a little secretly excited, and quietly looked at Ji Changze.
Ji Changze smiled at her.
The completely ignored Jin Yan: “…”
“I say, how long have you been married? Why are you both still so lovey-dovey?”
Zhou Ranran patted her gently; “Hey, aren’t you the host today? Why don’t you go entertain the guests?”
“What kind of host am I? It’s my Dad who’s going to get married to that older sister. ” Jin Yan grimaced, pulling Zhou Ranran to complain; “Ranran, what do you think of my Dad? Marrying a beautiful girl who’s 40 years younger than him? Is he stupid? My Dad isn’t a handsome guy, he has a big belly and a chubby face. Why can’t he see why that girl wants to marry him?”
Just then, she saw that Ji Changze was looking at herself with an odd look. Jin Yan was already at odds with him, and although her rejection of him dropped a little because of that painting, she was still on full alert for this scum who dared to wrong her best friend.
“What are you looking at me for? You’re not going to speak for my dad, are you?!”
Ji Changze bit his cake and shook his head, “I just want to remind you that your father is standing behind you.”
Both girls were scared stiff and turned back in a hurry.
