Xie Jing blushed: "You followed me? When did you know I was Lin Jing?"

Xie Jing was able to hold her nerve when exposed in front of Professor Niu, but when exposed in front of Zhou Jiyun, Xie Jing felt uncomfortable for some reason, perhaps because he said he was her fan?

Seeing Xie Jing's blushing face and her eyes wandering around in embarrassment, Zhou Jiyun lied, "I have indeed been following you for several years, but I only found out that you are Lin Jing recently."

"I found out after we got married."

Xie Jing slowly relaxed, "Really?"

Zhou Jiyun raised three fingers and swore: "Really, before the marriage was decided, I never associated the name Lin Jing with a real person."

"Then I realized your voice was very familiar, and combined with your work, I guessed it."

Xie Jing gradually returned to normal: "Can we not mention Lin Jing?"

"Okay, let's not talk about it. The reason I mentioned this name is to let you know that you are really talented." Zhou Jiyun thought about it and smiled again: "Money can buy a lot of things, but talent is something that money can never buy."

Xie Jing glanced at Zhou Jiyun: "You always praise me highly."

She had long discovered that she seemed to be perfect in every way in Zhou Jiyun's heart, while Zhou Jiyun seemed to be humble in front of her.

Zhou's old house.

When Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun entered the house carrying supplements, they heard Fang Qin's voice: "Dad, this is Shen Yaozhi. I met this girl when I was shopping in the mall a few days ago, and we got along very well. I specially invited Yaozhi to come to my house for a simple meal."

Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun looked at each other, and walked into the living room in silence. As soon as they entered, they saw a girl about twenty-one or twenty-two years old sitting next to Fang Qin.

If Xie Jing is the snow on the top of a snowy mountain, then Shen Yaozhi is a typical sweet girl nowadays. With her bangs, big eyes, thick false eyelashes that seem to catch flies, pouty lips, and a round face, she looks like a doll that Xie Jing had seen in a shop window before.

"Grandpa, we're back." Zhou Jiyun greeted first, then pulled Xie Jing to sit opposite Fang Qin and Shen Yaozhi.

He remembered that Fang Qin started to contact Shen Yaozhi two years later, when he and Xie Jing were getting along well. But now it's so much earlier? It shows that not everything will go as expected when you start over.

"Uncle and aunt," Xie Jing also greeted them, "Hello, Miss Shen. Nice to meet you. I'm Xie Jing."

Shen Yaozhi also responded with a polite smile: "Hello, Mrs. Zhou."

Mr. Zhou sat in the main seat. Seeing that the whole family was there, he couldn't help but smile: "Great, it's rare for the whole family to get together. Xiao Shen is the first time to visit our home, so don't be restrained."

Shen Yaozhi smiled and said, "Okay, thank you Grandpa Zhou for the hospitality. I feel very honored. I have heard that the Zhou family's old house is exquisitely designed. Today I finally have the opportunity to visit it."

The old man said cheerfully: "Let Jiwen take you around this afternoon. The scenery in the garden is bleak at this time of year. When the spring comes next year and the flowers bloom, that will be..."

The old man is a typical person who is good at business. If you ask him to talk about investment, return rate, etc., he can speak very well. But when it comes to nitpicking, he is a little at a loss.

Xie Jing added silently: "It's so beautiful."

"Yes, it's beautiful beyond words," the old man slapped his thigh, "That's exactly what I wanted to say."

Shen Yaozhi: "When spring comes and flowers bloom, I will definitely come to Grandpa Zhou's place to enjoy the flowers and drink tea."

The old man laughed out loud: "That's great. Jingjing also likes to appreciate flowers and drink tea. You two can be companions then."

Shen Yaozhi's face froze. Was her main focus to drink tea and appreciate flowers with Xie Jing? She wanted to improve Mr. Zhou's favorability.

Fang Qin patted Shen Yaozhi's hand and said, "What a great thing! Jingjing just got married and doesn't have anyone close to her. You and Jingjing are not much different in age, so you should have a lot of topics to talk about. This will save Jingjing from being alone."

At first glance, her words sounded fine, just an elder from the next room caring for his niece-in-law. But if you think about it carefully, you will find something wrong.

For example, saying that Xie Jing doesn't have anyone close to her is an implicit criticism that Xie Jing is an unlikable person, not good at socializing, and doesn't even have a single friend.

Furthermore, she was alone later on, which implied that Xie Jing was a loner and an unsociable person.

Who among the people present didn't have a lot of thoughts? Zhou Jiyun could hear what was meant, so naturally, Old Master Zhou could hear it too.

His eyebrows slightly furrowed and then relaxed, and he said in a neither loud nor soft voice: "Jingjing is a creative person, and creation requires a quiet personal environment. Too much socializing is ineffective."

"As my wife, Jingjing doesn't need to take the initiative to socialize. If my career requires my wife to help me, then it is undoubtedly that I am unqualified as a husband and cannot let her be at ease and be herself."

Zhou Jiyun also spoke, and his words were extremely impolite. Fang Qin thought of the scenes of her socializing with Zhou Zhida, and she almost gnashed her teeth.

She just said one sentence, but the grandparents and grandchildren had so many words waiting for her. Was this a slap in her face?

Zhou Jiwen quickly spoke up to smooth things over: "Grandpa, big brother, my mom didn't mean that. She just thinks that my sister-in-law is too lonely on weekdays. Yaozhi and my sister-in-law are close in age, so they should have something to talk about."

Zhou Jiyun was unhappy. He put his arm around Xie Jing's waist and said, "How can you say that your sister-in-law is usually alone? Am I not always at home? Jingjing is usually very busy. Schoolwork already takes up so much of her time, leaving even less time for me."

"We are newlyweds."

Mr. Zhou was amused: "You remembered that you were newlywed? Let me ask you, is there anyone like you who leaves home for ten days or half a month after getting married? Fortunately, you knew to come back early, which was not too wrong."

Xie Jing was busy defending Zhou Jiyun: "Grandpa, this can't be entirely blamed on him. I can't leave school, and I can't ignore my studies and career. We can just have fun on our own, right?"

"And didn't he come back early? Don't blame him."

Xie Jing defended Zhou Jiyun, and Mr. Zhou was naturally happy. His only wish now was that Zhou Jiyun lived a good life, and the couple had a harmonious relationship, so that Zhou Jiyun would not always be alone.

The old man even said something arrogant: "This is Jingjing protecting you. If you dare to be so unreasonable next time..."

Zhou Jiyun begged for mercy: "I dare not, grandpa, don't worry."

Seeing the happy family of three, Zhou Zhida lowered his eyelids, and soon he smiled again: "Dad, it's still a while before dinner time, why don't you let Jiwen take Xiao Shen for a walk? This is her first time at home."

"Ji Wen, treat Xiao Shen well."
