My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 453: How Could You Two Be Husband and Wife!
Chapter 453: Chapter 453: How Could You Two Be Husband and Wife!
"How could you two be husband and wife!" Zhou Xueyi lost his composure as he spoke, completely forgetting that there were business partners beside him who were part of the dinner party tonight.
The others all quietly watched from the sidelines, eating melon seeds, afraid that if they were discovered, they would be forbidden from enjoying the show.
Lu Youxi turned her head and asked Zhou Shuyan, "Uncle, your state of mind is not quite right."
Zhou Shuyan nodded, "I also didn’t expect uncle to be so unable to keep his composure."
"Moreover, it’s our Zhou family’s private affair, shouldn’t it be inappropriate to discuss it in such a public place?" Lu Youxi said to Zhou Shuyan.
Zhou Xueyi: "..."
Zhou Xueyi had been too shocked just now and truly hadn’t managed to consider that.
Now that he had come to his senses, he said to the people with him, "I have something to take care of here, the three of you go ahead."
Seeing that there would be no more show to watch, those three could only politely say their goodbyes and leave first.
Only then did Zhou Xueyi approach Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi, moving closer to them, and said in a low voice, "How could you two be together!"
"That’s a funny question, uncle. With so many couples in the world, do all of them have to be asked how they got together? We just met, got together, it’s that simple," Lu Youxi said with a curl of her lip.
"Look at her attitude! She doesn’t understand a bit of etiquette, how can she be the wife of the Family Head? Won’t she just bring shame to the Zhou family when she goes out?"
"Uncle, even so, I have never discussed Zhou family affairs in front of outsiders," Lu Youxi didn’t indulge Zhou Xueyi, "But you have been raised in the Zhou family from a young age, receiving a strict education. How come I haven’t seen you being a little more circumspect?"
Zhou Xueyi: "..."
"This is your upbringing? I say one thing, and you retort with ten!" Zhou Xueyi said angrily.
He looked at Zhou Shuyan, "You see her attitude! How can such a person be the wife of the Zhou family’s head? If she goes out speaking and acting like this, it would be more than enough to make us a laughingstock!"
"Moreover, I heard she’s from a rural area!" Zhou Xueyi added.
"What’s wrong with the countryside? Is someone from the countryside deserving of scorn?" Lu Youxi said glaring, "You certainly think highly of yourself, do you dare claim to represent the Zhou family in looking down on people from the countryside?"
"Without our rural areas, where would your vegetables, your meat, your rice and wheat come from? Eating what we have grown and raised, and still having the face to look down on us rural people, who gave you the face to do that!" Lu Youxi said coldly.
Zhou Xueyi was stunned by Lu Youxi’s retort, trembling with anger, "I am your elder, who taught you to speak to your elders like this!"
"You have no manners, no upbringing, did I say anything wrong?" Zhou Xueyi asked contemptuously, "Your attitude toward me just now only proves my point!"
"Youxi’s upbringing is very good. If it were someone else, hearing what you said, they would have cursed you out long ago," Zhou Shuyan said coldly.
"Youxi’s teachers and leaders at school all praise her for her well-mannered behavior," Zhou Shuyan added with a sneer, "If you think Youxi is so unacceptable, why don’t you go to Jing University to talk it over with her teachers and school administrators?"
"Let alone the Zhou family, when have you ever seen a powerful family choose a woman from the countryside with no background to be a wife!" Zhou Xueyi said in a grave voice.
"What’s it to you?" Zhou Shuyan’s voice turned cold.
What?
Zhou Xueyi was stunned, as if he had misheard.
"It’s me getting married, not you," Zhou Shuyan said indifferently, "I don’t see any problem with it, so why are you needlessly worrying about it?"
"If you are so dissatisfied with your second aunt, then why not take a second wife, and choose carefully," Zhou Shuyan said sarcastically.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhou Xueyi’s face changed, "How could Lu Youxi compare to your second aunt! Your second aunt comes from a distinguished family, and how could Lu Youxi, this kind of village girl, be comparable?"
Zhou Shuyan’s face darkened as he warned, "Uncle, be careful with your words. If these words get out, the Zhou family would be cursed to death."
Zhou Shuyan, not wanting to talk more with Zhou Xueyi, only said, "Uncle, at your age, you ought to know the importance of cautious speech and behavior."
Having said that, Zhou Shuyan, without even a goodbye, took Lu Youxi’s hand and turned to leave.
Zhou Xueyi was so annoyed that his teeth itched; he was the elder, and yet Zhou Shuyan was the one lecturing him.
But after Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi left, Zhou Xueyi did not chase after them.
It wasn’t until he completely lost sight of their figures that Zhou Xueyi left the hotel with a sullen face.
Getting into the car, he said to the driver in a grave voice, "Find Old Master Zhou."
The driver glanced at Zhou Xueyi, thinking whether Zhou Xueyi was crazy. Old Master Zhou lived in a village in the suburbs.
With the current time, even without traffic delays, it would take over an hour to drive there, not to mention during traffic, two hours would be fast.
It was already past 9 PM; would Old Master Zhou even be awake when they arrived around 11 PM?
Moreover, they would have to return, wouldn’t they?
Zhou Xueyi might be able to stay at Old Master Zhou’s place, but what about him?
Driving back to the city, wouldn’t that be torturous?
Working with Zhou Xueyi was simply too difficult.
The man was crazy, always coming up with one troubling idea after another.
"What are you dawdling for? Aren’t you going to drive?" Zhou Xueyi, seeing the driver had not started the car yet, grew impatient as if the driver could not understand human speech.
The driver, internally complaining, quickly started the car and headed toward Old Master Zhou’s place.
Zhou Shuyan drove Lu Youxi home, and noticing the direction along the way wasn’t towards the Zhou Mansion, she asked.
"We’re going to the residence near the company tonight," Zhou Shuyan explained.
"Why suddenly go there tonight?" Lu Youxi asked, puzzled.
Zhou Shuyan glanced at her, "You were only busy talking business with Shi Yusheng tonight, not sparing me a glance."
Lu Youxi: "..."
Did she?
Lu Youxi thought carefully about the evening, and it seemed she really had been quite engrossed in her conversation with Shi Yusheng.
Seeing Zhou Shuyan’s aggrieved look, Lu Youxi belatedly laughed awkwardly, "Well, from now on, it’s just us two, no one else."
Zhou Shuyan: "..."
Listening to Lu Youxi speak, why did it feel so disheartening?
And Lu Youxi herself felt bewildered, why did Zhou Shuyan look like a pitiful creature that had been wronged?
Arriving at their place, Zhou Shuyan parked the car and took the elevator upstairs with Lu Youxi.
Since they reconciled, they had been living in the Zhou Mansion.
Since the time she had gone to seek out Chengzhou and find Zhou Shuyan, this was actually the first time she had returned here with Zhou Shuyan.
Lu Youxi followed behind Zhou Shuyan, and just as they entered, she was pulled into his embrace.
"The time you didn’t pay attention to me at dinner tonight, I have to get it back," Zhou Shuyan said, his arms around Lu Youxi’s waist.
"How..." are you going to do that?
Before she could ask the last two words, Lu Youxi was swallowed by Zhou Shuyan’s mouth.
Now, Lu Youxi knew what he wanted.
Lu Youxi felt that this man was just looking for an excuse.
