Chapter 550: Zhou Jiajiaâs Family History
Translator: VinceStar Editor: PrisMiko
However, Li Dadong still had some confidence. After all, he and Lin Zhiyun had been in a status of childhood sweethearts for so many years. I will still be stronger than the outsider, right? This boyfriend named Yang Ming has only been with Lin Zhiyun for a semester at most because he had not heard that Lin Zhiyun had a boyfriend during his summer vacation!
In just one semester, how close can their relations.h.i.+p be? Li Dadong felt that as long as he worked hard and confessed his intention to Lin Zhiyun, Lin Zhiyun would definitely break up with Yang Ming.
Thinking of this, Li Dadongâs mood had also recovered slightly as he followed Lin Zhiyun and Yang Ming to the house with a sullen face.
âYang Ming is here!â Before Shen Yueping could speak, Lin Changqing warmly welcomed Yang Ming. Regarding the matter in Donghai, Lin Changqing was very grateful to Yang Ming, so he was also very polite in his tone.
âUncle Lin, Aunty Shen, greetings.â Yang Ming said with a smile.
âChangqing, letâs serve the meal.â Shen Yueping noticed that Yang Ming had arrived, so she ordered, âYou go and cook the dumplings!â
Li Dadong gritted his teeth after hearing it. I came to help wrap the dumplings in the afternoon. In the end, it only benefits this guy named Yang! However, even though he was angry, he couldnât vent it out. He could only sulk with a dull face.
âDadong, can you go and help your uncle?â Shen Yueping requested.
âOkay. Iâm going to help G.o.dfather to cook dumplings.â Li Dadong nodded and deliberately emphasized the word âG.o.dfather.â
Shen Yueping sighed knowing that Li Dadong was deliberately saying this. When they were still young, Lin Changqing and Li Dadongâs father said half-jokingly that Li Dadong recognized Lin Changqing as G.o.dfather to give each family two children.
At that time, Lin Zhiyun was still young and not very sensible. Li Dadong had only recently become more sensible. Later, this matter was ignored as a joke, but they didnât expect Li Dadong to suddenly mention it again.
When Yang Ming heard Li Dadongâs âG.o.dfather,â he couldnât help but frown. He asked Lin Zhiyun in a whisper, âWhy is he calling your dad as G.o.dfather?â
âI donât knowâŚâ Lin Zhiyun shook her head in confusion. Apparently, she had no recollection of the event.
Yang Ming nodded and didnât care what was going on. I donât care if it is true or not. G.o.dfather, so what? G.o.dfather isnât father-in-law!
âHe seems to be interested in you.â Yang Ming sat on the sofa as though he was very close to Lin Zhiyun, just like a close couple.
Lin Zhiyunâs immunity to Yang Ming had reached an incredible level. Faced with Yang Mingâs intimate manners, Lin Zhiyun had no other sense of resistance except for some shyness in her heart.
â Ah ? Brother Dadong just treats me as a sisterâŚâ Lin Zhiyun said while stuttering. Beforehand, she didnât realize that Li Dadong had other feelings besides treating her as a sister, but from Li Dadongâs weird look and behavior, it seemed like that was the case as Yang Ming mentioned.
â Hehe , why is he so hostile to me if it is just a sister?â Yang Ming snorted. âEven a childhood sweetheart?â
âWhy? Are you jealous?â Lin Zhiyun didnât know what was she thinking. She suddenly came up with such a sentence.
âWhat do I need to be jealous for?â Yang Ming smirked and hugged Lin Zhiyun. âArenât the both of us just acting? What can I be jealous ofâŚâ
âActing⌠Why are you hugging meâŚâ Lin Zhiyunâs face was red. She was somewhat embarra.s.sed.
âActing has professionalism, too! You see â what was the movie called again? It was said that the male and female protagonists really XOXO [1] during filming!â Yang Ming smiled.
âI hate you!â Lin Zhiyun pshawed. âHow do you know this when other people are filming?â
âTheyâre all saying it on the InternetâŚâ Yang Ming said innocently.
âFine. In a little while, can you do this as respect for me? I have nothing to do with Brother Dadong, but I have always respected him as a brother. Donât let him be too embarra.s.sedâŚâ Lin Zhiyun hesitated.
âDid I make him embarra.s.sed? I think he wanted me to be embarra.s.sed!â Yang Ming snorted and said, âLook at him as he entered the door. He gripped my hand as if he didnât want to let it go. Luckily, I had trained before, or else I would be crippled by him!â
âForget it⌠Brother Dadongâs head was sweatingâŚâ Lin Zhiyun wasnât stupid. She probably also grasped the previous situation. âAnd youâre really bad. You actually called him, âBig Winter Melon'[2].â
âDonât you call him âBig Winter Melon'[1]?â Yang Ming curiously widened his eyes. âI just followed you with the address!â
âI donât want to talk to you anymoreâŚâ Lin Zhiyun was speechless.
Although Li Dagang was helping in the kitchen, his eyes often swept in the direction of the living room. When he saw Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun flirting, he was annoyed. Out of carelessness, the water in the pot that was cooking the dumplings splashed out and landed on Li Dagangâs hand. He grimaced from the scalding pain.
After Zhou Jiajia returned home, she started to get prepared for the activities that night. If it went well, she would be able to get something useful this evening.
Surveilling the network IP of w.a.n.g Zhitaoâs home, Zhou Jiajia quickly opened a shortcut to a folder on her desktop. She opened a photo inside and started browsing.
These were the pictures of Yang Ming, which were usually photographed by Zhou Jiajia on the cell phone. Some of them were of Yang Ming alone, and some of them were taken when Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan were together. However, Zhou Jiajia didnât mind as she looked at them with great interest. She smiled sometimes and frowned sometimes as though she was doing something happy.
Thatâs right! This was Zhou Jiajiaâs usual pastime time. Aside from studying computer technology, at the other times, Zhou Jiajiaâs only entertainment was to look at Yang Mingâs photos in a daze.
â Dangdangdang âŚâ There was knocking on the bedroom door. Zhou Jiajia immediately regained a sense of herself. She minimized the window on the computer desktop and said, âCome in.â
âJiajia, I heard that you went to w.a.n.g Zhitaoâs house today?â Mother Zhou asked with a smile.
â En .â Zhou Jiajia nodded faintly. She was still holding a grudge from her motherâs private conversation with Yang Ming.
â Hehe , donât be angry with your mother. Mother wanted the best for you.â Mother Zhou smiled. âI heard that w.a.n.g Xifan is preparing to transfer his shares under w.a.n.g Zhitaoâs name, which was what I was worried about the most before. I was afraid that the old guy, w.a.n.g Xifan, wasnât honest. He might have illegitimate children on the outside. Now, Iâm relieved that no one will compete with you for shares in the future.â
ââŚâ Zhou Jiajia looked at her mother in front of her and didnât know what to say. In her eyes, it was full of money and profit. Including her daughterâs lifelong events, it also mixed with too much of her own interest in it.
âYour father will come back in a few days. I have told your dad about your matter with w.a.n.g Zhitao. Your dad still thought that w.a.n.g Zhitao isnât worthy of you!â Mother Zhou laughed.
Zhou Jiajia shook her head, âIâd rather be in an ordinary home.â
âOrdinary home? Jiajia, you donât know how many people are envious of you!â Mother Zhou said, âYou really donât know how to be grateful for your blessings.â
âI donât think thereâs anything good about itâŚâ Zhou Jiajia sighed. âAlso, isnât dad working for others⌠Why do you always act superior?â
âWorking for others? Hehe , it also depends on who is working for whom. Your father is now working for the most mysterious family in Europe. He is the familyâs main butler!â Mother Zhou said with pride. âAccording to your father, there is no problem with you finding a n.o.bleman in the upper cla.s.s!â
ââŚâ Zhou Jiajia looked at her mother in her gorgeous fantasy. She didnât know what to say.
âLike my daughter who is so beautiful, maybe thereâs no problem finding a family heir!â Mother Zhou said proudly. âItâs unfortunate. According to your father, the heir of the mysterious family is a womanâŚâ
âOkay, mom. Iâm tired⌠I want to sleep for a whileâŚâ Zhou Jiajia really couldnât agree with her motherâs thoughts.
â Oh , thatâs fine⌠You should rest well firstâŚâ Mother Zhou nodded. âYes, you and w.a.n.g Zhitao just stay together for now. If there are better candidates, letâs change!â
ââŚâ Zhou Jiajia didnât answer.
In President w.a.n.g Xifanâs office, there were w.a.n.g Xifan and Huang Youcai.
âYoucai, regarding Su Dazhiâs matter, do the police have any suspicions?â w.a.n.g Xifan asked with a frown.
âNo, I havenât heard anything.â Huang Youcai shook his head.
âRegarding Su Dazhiâs body, Iâm always not at ease. Iâm afraid that the police might find some clues.â w.a.n.g Xifan sighed. âMy eyelids have been constantly twitching these days; thereâs a sign of a bad omen.â
âItâs okay. President w.a.n.g, why donât we take a look again tomorrow? Letâs get some concentrated sulfuric acid on the body and let him rot as soon as possible so that the police canât identify the body.â
âWell, itâs not too late yet. Letâs not wait for tomorrow. Letâs get some sulfuric acid now. We should go in a while.â w.a.n.g Xifan said.
âEverything is according to President w.a.n.gâs instruction.â Huang Youcai nodded.
