Chapter 111: You wouldn’t want to break them apart, would you_1
Luxury cars gathered outside the Zhou Family’s main gate, with visitors steadily ascending the steps.
The Wei Family could not be absent.
Wei Sulin and Wenxin arrived together.
One was a friend, the other the future daughter-in-law favored by the Zhou Family—they would consent to her joining the family with just a nod from Zhou Luchen.
Only Wei Sulin always disliked his sister being involved with his good friend.
Wenxin closed the sports car door and glanced at Wei Sulin stepping down from the passenger side.
"What time did Achen leave last night?"
With his hands in his pockets, Wei Sulin walked in front of Wenxin. "I’m not going to be a traitor. If you want to know, ask him yourself."
Wenxin looked somewhat helplessly at Wei Sulin. "Can’t we have a proper conversation? Am I stealing the family fortune from you? You have the company, but can’t manage it well; I have to worry about everything."
"Don’t be like that, little sis," Wei Sulin said with a rakish grin. "We don’t share a mother. My mom emphasized a thousand times over not to hang around with you."
"How long has Shen Jing been with him?" asked Wenxin.
Wei Sulin stroked his chin. "They’ve known each other for half a year. You wouldn’t be thinking of breaking them up, would you?"
"Do they need me to break them up?" Wenxin swept past Wei Sulin and calmly entered the courtyard.
A true mansion of the wealthy, the residence spanned hundreds of hectares, stretching across the best feng shui spot in Xiangshan.
Wenxin observed the powerful elites entering with her.
She told Wei Sulin, "It’s a match of equals. He knows what kind of conditions a girl should meet to become his wife—family background, class, values, origins, upbringing. He has to pick someone who checks all the boxes."
"He’s not Chen Yao. Remember that," Wenxin added. "All those games you play are just for laughs."
Unquestionably, hailing from a wealthy family himself, Wei Sulin agreed with these words.
"But do you know?" Wei Sulin leaned in close to Wenxin. "Recently, Luchen rushed to Beijing to support her in a competition. She even won the championship."
Wenxin chuckled lightly. "That day was Minor New Year’s Eve; he went out for dinner."
Wei Sulin also laughed and nodded. "Are you really not jealous?"
Without revealing her feelings, Wenxin said, "Shen Jing’s talent is naturally worthy of a championship; she doesn’t need any backdoor deals. I even had Wei Family Media’s manager try to sign her as an internet celebrity. Such a cash cow, but unfortunately, she declined."
Wei Sulin glanced at her. "You’re really easygoing."
Wenxin stopped paying attention to Wei Sulin. Her magnanimity, or lack thereof, all depended on understanding the attitude of Zhou Luchen, that notorious playboy. She made her way to the backyard familiarly, not seeing Zhou Luchen. She had been busy with her family’s company lately and hadn’t had the chance to find him.
She couldn’t find him even if she tried, as Wei Sulin did not like betraying friends.
She inquired with a servant of the Zhou Family.
Zhou Luchen was currently in the backyard’s ancestral hall burning incense.
The Zhou Family’s ancestral hall was off-limits to anyone not bearing the Zhou surname.
Knowing her current status, she patiently waited in the living room with the decorum of a wealthy young lady.
She recognized all the uncles and elders of the Zhou Family, greeting each one with formal pleasantries.
After exchanging greetings, she made her way to the backyard. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
This pathway was one Zhou Luchen must pass after coming out of the ancestral hall.
The gate to the ancestral hall’s courtyard wasn’t closed. Just by standing there, she could see part of Zhou Luchen’s profile. He was playing with a bird, apparently heading nowhere in particular.
He seemed to be talking to a mynah bird; his mood appeared to be good.
The mynah in the cage flapped and screeched sharply.
"Taught by Achen, taught by Achen,"
Old Madam Zhou’s beloved mynah had recently taken to squawking ’Jingjing’ endlessly, much to the old lady’s annoyance. She had ordered it thrown into the backyard and ignored ever since, nearly having it silenced for good.
His romantic escapades had even reached the household.
If Zhou Luchen didn’t return to the old residence, the mynah really couldn’t escape the Cold Palace.
