No one can escape the law of true fragrance

Zhou Chenmu's car disappeared into the morning light for a long time, Ling Xi was still there in a daze, he belatedly reached out and touched the hair that Zhou Chenmu brushed, and then wiped it vigorously with the back of his hand with eyes full of contempt and disgust, he felt that Zhou Chenmu probably had something wrong sick.

After Christmas, the school is at the end of the semester, teachers and classmates are busy, Ling Xi still has time to go to the nursing home to take care of her grandmother, there is no time to meddle in the affairs of Zhou Chenmu and the college student, Zhou Chenwang mentioned before that he should take care of the college student It seems that it was just talk to get revenge on Zhou Chenmu.

Near the end of the year, Zhou's group is also busy. The three of Zhou's father and son often see each other, and Zhou Chenwang can't wait to have dinner parties every night.

Ling Xi couldn't help rolling her eyes every time she saw him drunk on the bed, and while helping him change his clothes, she complained, "I don't know how you have the nerve to socialize outside with your incapacitated drinking capacity. The successors of the group don’t know how to imitate your elder brother’s tricks of the old fox, keep everything in order, and drink as soon as others persuade you, how can you look like a young master.”

"Tch, he's that kind of person, hiccup, I don't want to learn, he's very fake." Zhou Chenwang turned over and hugged Ling Xi in his arms, "Honey, sleep with me."

"Wash up before going to sleep. If you get so drunk again, get out and sleep on the sofa, it stinks to death." Ling Xi struggled desperately, and finally changed Zhou Chenwang's clothes.

Zhou Chenwang lowered his head and sniffed his body vigorously, and then said aggrievedly: "My wife despises me."

Ling Xi sighed helplessly, and wiped Zhou Chenwang's face as if resigned to his fate. Zhou Chenwang just fell asleep like this. After drinking, Zhou Chenwang's face was flushed, half of his face was buried in the pillow and lying on the bed, and his brows were still slightly wrinkled after falling asleep. Seeing his childlike cuteness, Ling Xi touched his face, thinking that during this period of time he was probably busy with the projects that Zhou Chenmu had mentioned, and when these things are finished, he hopes to have a relaxing new year .

However, Ling Xi's hope was in vain, and the project eventually went wrong. Zhou's Group bought a piece of land in the new district and planned to expand a large shopping mall. Something went wrong, and the residents who had agreed to sign the demolition agreement all of a sudden did not sign, and became a nail-biting household, guarding the small house in the middle of the ruins and refusing to move out.Zhou Chenwang sent several groups of lobbyists and they were kicked out. He had no choice but to invite a professional demolition company to come. Unexpectedly, the demolition company was tough and accidentally seriously injured an old lady of that family during the negotiation process. Now the family is quarreling. They made a big fuss about the matter, saying that the Zhou Group oppressed the common people, forcibly demolished and wounded people. This incident was fueled by people with serious intentions, and it brought a very bad negative impact to the Zhou Group. This project can only be temporarily suspended. .

Zhou Xiong was very annoyed. When he came back that night, he smashed the paper newspaper on Zhou Chenwang's face, and angrily said, "What are you busy with all day long? You can't do such a small thing well!"

Zhou Chen was hopeless, and retorted: "I have investigated everything, and this matter is all behind the scenes of the Zhai family."

"Nonsense!" Zhou Xiong said angrily, "The Zhai family has never had any business dealings with us, what are they doing against us for no reason, you don't want to find other excuses for not doing well."

Zhou Chen stared in disbelief, wanting to argue again, but swallowed the words. Of course he knew what was the cause of the Zhai family, but Zhou Xiong didn't know about it. Wanting to vent his anger on Ling Xi, he had no choice but to stalk his neck and keep quiet. Zhou Xiong glanced at him, and was so angry that he was about to suffer from high blood pressure. He raised his voice and called Zhou Chenmu, asking him to help Zhou Chenwang settle these matters.

Zhou Chenmu was naturally happy to help, so he made a promise immediately, coaxing the old man to calm down a little, and then went back to the room with his hands behind his back.

After Zhou Xiong left, Zhou Chenmu smiled at Zhou Chenwang and said, "Xiao Wang, don't offend others in the future by making things so complicated."

Zhou Chenwang glared at him, "This matter has something to do with you, right? If you weren't in the way, the Zhai family wouldn't have the ability or move so quickly."

"You've misunderstood me. I've been shopping with Qinghe for New Year's shopping all this time, so I don't have time to take care of your business." Zhou Chenmu patted Zhou Chenwang's shoulder lightly, turned around and went back to the room.

Leaving Zhou Chenwang alone in the living room, Ling Xi could not help but feel a little guilty after understanding what happened from the beginning to the end. All this happened because of him alone. He tentatively said: "Otherwise I will go to Explain to the old man."

"Don't go." Zhou Chenwang took his hand and led him back to the room, "It won't help if you say it, and it's not worthwhile to be scolded by the old man for nothing. It's enough for me to be scolded alone. Let him scold him."

"But will this matter really have anything to do with elder brother?" Ling Xi hesitated thinking about what Zhou Chenmu threatened him that day.

"It's definitely related to him. Damn, I'll check the situation of his little lover tomorrow. It's best to let him come and cry when the Dong family members gather at our house during the Chinese New Year. I'll see how Zhou Chenmu is doing." Marry with the Dong family." Zhou Chenwang asked Ling Xi, "You eavesdropped on their conversation that day, did you see what that boy looked like?"

Ling Xi recalled, "I took a peek at it, and it was a pretty clean kid, but I didn't know which school he was from."

"Just check it out."

The next day Zhou Chenmu went out early in the morning. When Ling Xi finished breakfast at home and was about to go to work, Zhou Xiong suddenly stopped him. Zhou Xiong stood at the corner of the stairs and said to Ling Xi, "Come with me to the study."

Ling Xi was stunned for a moment, then put the down jacket in his hand on the sofa, and followed Zhou Xiong into the study with a heavy heart.

This is the first time he entered Zhou Xiong's study room. The overall decoration is very retro. The heavy furniture and dark carpet give people a sense of oppression for no reason. Ling Xi stood in front of the huge desk nervously, looking at the Zhou Xiong in front of him.Zhou Xiong sat on the chair, looked at Ling Xi for a moment, and asked, "I heard that you and Xiao Wang live in the same room?"

Ling Xi's expression of astonishment was fleeting, this was his home, and he wondered if it was easy, so he nodded honestly.

"How long have you been together?" Zhou Xiong asked.

"Not long, less than a month." Ling Xi replied.

Zhou Xiong was silent for a few seconds, and said in a deep voice: "You should know that my original intention of letting you get married was just to block the mouths of outsiders and save the image of the Zhou Group. Although the agreement period is one year, if you cross the line, It's not that I can't end this agreement early, anyway, flash marriages and divorces are very normal among young people, and we have our own excuses."

Ling Xi's heart sank, and he subconsciously grabbed the hem of his clothes with his fingers. He didn't dare to look up at Zhou Xiong, and lowered his volume with more confidence, "Yes, I know."

"Does Xiao Wang like you very much?" Zhou Xiong asked, "For you, he will not hesitate to offend the Zhai family. Although their family is nothing, they are not people who can be easily offended."

Ling Xi didn't expect Zhou Xiong to know the whole story. He was surprised by Zhou Xiong's palace, and couldn't help becoming nervous. Facing such an elder with a much higher status and experience than himself, Ling Xi was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say. Trying to explain, "This incident is not Zhou Chenwang's fault, it is indeed Zhai Yue's fault first, he was contaminated with contraband, he should have been punished."

"I don't want to care about what the Zhai family is like. I just called you here today to remind you to put yourself in the right place. Since Xiaowang is interested in you now, take good care of him. I won't end the contract early. The premise is that you don't You have done too much, you should know that Xiao Wang will not like you for the rest of his life, he will marry a girl of the right family in the future and be my successor."

Zhou Xiong's tone was not heavy, but he slammed into Ling Xi's ears word by word. He was at a loss for what to do. He numbly nodded to Zhou Xiong and said goodbye. where to go.

With great difficulty, he made himself temporarily forget his identity, and watched An Jing Jing and Zhou Chen for a quiet time, but someone always reminded him not to cross the line from time to time.What Zhou Xiong said is right, he is the biggest person in power in this family, he has the right to decide everything, Ling Xi and Zhou Chenwang are people from two worlds, they can never get together, all he has is what is left Not many nine months.

Ling Xi suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. He quickly went downstairs, took his coat and went out. Today, the students had their final exams and there was no task of invigilating him in the morning. Go straight up Long Street.

The cold winter wind blew on his face, and it hurt like a knife. After walking for a while, Ling Xi's ears were numb. He sat down in a cafe, ordered a cup of hot cocoa, and watched The crowd outside the window seemed to be in a mess with countless threads in their minds, and they were indescribably irritable.

Zhou Chenwang's phone call came suddenly, Ling Xi sniffed, and after the connection, Zhou Chenwang said briskly on the other side of the receiver: "Honey, I have almost finished my business in the morning, and now I happen to be near your school, I will pick you up for lunch ,What do you want to eat?"

Ling Xi said in a low voice: "I'm not at school."

"If you're not at school during working hours, then where have you been?"

"I... have some errands outside." Ling Xi said, "I can't accompany you to lunch, you can eat by yourself."

"That won't work, send me the location, I'll come to you, hurry up, I have to have lunch with whoever I want to have lunch with." Zhou Chenwang said and hung up the phone.

Ling Xi looked at the call records of the two, hesitated for a moment, and sent a location via WeChat. He knew Zhou Chenwang's temper, and no one could control him when he was stubborn. If he didn't send him the location, he didn't know that he would do something.

This cafe is not far from the school. Zhou Chenwang will arrive in half an hour. The wind chime at the door rang. Zhou Chenwang rubbed his hands and walked in. After looking around, he went straight to Ling Xi, stood in front of him, looked down at him, and looked at him seriously. After a while, he said: "I heard that your tone on the phone was wrong, why are you unhappy?"

Zhou Chen looked at the height of 1.8 meters, standing in front of Ling Xi, blocking the light firmly, seeing his earnest concern, Ling Xi suddenly felt his nose sore, and the grievance in his heart seemed to have found a foothold, and he endured it. Feeling emotional, he stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Chenwang for the first time, "I'm fine, Zhou Chenwang, I want to eat ice cream at noon."

"Eat!" Zhou Chen sat down with his eyes wide open, propped his chin to look at Ling Xi for a while, and smiled harmlessly, "Eat as much as you want, you can eat as much as you want."
