Shield [Rebirth]

Zhou Mu vaguely felt that he had returned to his previous life before he died.

[October 2043th, 10, at nine o'clock in the evening, in a villa in the center of the county.

With a suitable smile on his face, Zhou Mu raised his glass to the guests he met in a friendly way, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he reached the balcony.

Looking up at the inconspicuous stars in the sky, a warm arc was drawn at the corner of his mouth, he was accepted by his family, mom, you see, dad accepted me, grandma also treated me... a little better, I am very good, right? ?

The corners of his eyes were a little wet, Zhou Mu hurriedly lowered his head, he must not lose his composure at this time, today is the happiest day of the Zhou family in the past three years, three years ago, the Zhou family group was in economic crisis, and the side branches of the Zhou family were also ready to move, he was taken home by his father , accepted everything from the Zhou family, and after three years of struggle, he lived up to his father's expectations. He saved the Zhou family group and quelled internal troubles.

Speaking of which, today is the only day in the past three years that he can relax.

The red wine in the glass in the right hand shone with a strange color under the light behind Zhou Mu.

Looking sideways at the lively scene behind him, Zhou Mu showed a sincere smile on his face.

He has a family.

Zhou Mianxin frowned, the expression on his face showed that he was not in a good mood, the second son was just ignorant, he hid in the corner by himself after leaving a lot of guests behind.Glancing at the back of the second son, the trace of guilt in his heart disappeared without a trace, what did he feel guilty about for such a waste.

Even though he was thinking this way, Zhou Mianxin was still a little nervous. He brought the cup in his hand to his mouth and was a little bit misaligned. After taking a big sip of the wine, he became a little more courageous, walked behind Zhou Mu, and said with a straight face. Said: "Zhou Mu! Don't entertain guests and hide here..." He didn't finish speaking, but he glanced at the eldest brother of the Zhou family, Zhou You, who was chatting happily with the guests.

When Zhou Mianxin's eyes met Zhou You, he immediately became loving. When he turned around and saw Zhou Mu's reserved look, he immediately hated him. It's really a child born to a woman from a small family, but he just can't get on the stage.

Thinking about it this way, Zhou Mianxin didn't like Zhou Mu even more. He wanted to praise his son for doing a good job in the past few years, but now he was only angry.

"Father? Second brother?"

Zhou Mianxin was already angry, but when he saw the third child, he was even more angry. He frowned and reprimanded him in a low voice: "What are you doing hiding here one by one? If you don't see so many guests, you won't learn from your eldest brother." study?"

The third son of the Zhou family looked astonished. He just passed the messenger, but was reprimanded by his father for no reason.

Zhou Xu's thoughts changed quickly, the expression on his face changed immediately, and his words softened a lot. "Well, Dad, grandma told you to come over."

"Hmph." Zhou Mianxin choked for a moment when he heard the third child's words, then gave Zhou Mu a hard look, and angrily walked away holding the wine glass.

When Zhou Mianxin walked away, Zhou Xu immediately put away his smiling face, and looked at Zhou Mu mockingly, with contempt and malice all over his face: "Tsk." After tsk, he turned around and left, as if he didn't bother with this second brother at all. chat.

A bad premonition welled up in my heart. Zhou Mu has always adhered to the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes in the Zhou family. Although he is sometimes wrong even if he doesn't say anything, talking less can still avoid a lot of trouble.

The Zhou family has never been peaceful.

Zhou Mu stood there a little confused, was he too happy before?

Although his father treated him much better than before, and his grandma didn't scold him anymore, but... the third brother is still eccentric, the stepmother still treats him as air, and the elder brother treats him very well.

But... Zhou Mu couldn't help but take a sip of wine. He is not a stupid person. His father's attitude just now has alerted him. Although the third brother's attitude has not changed, in the past three years, the third brother will still restrain himself a little. It seemed that he had recovered to the time when he was taken back to Zhou's house by his father.

He was worthless when he just returned to the Zhou family. He saved the Zhou family group in three years, so why did the third brother suddenly change his attitude at this time?The third brother is the one who knows how to read people's faces...

Resisting the guess in his heart, Zhou Mu laughed at himself. In three years, he has grown a lot, and he has become more suspicious and defensive.

Back in the hall, Zhou Mu put on a polite smile formed over the past three years, dealing with familiar and unfamiliar guests.

Tonight is the Zhou family's celebration party, all the guests came to congratulate, and everyone in the Zhou family is very happy.

It's just that a banquet is never just a place for drinking and chatting, and soon Zhou Mu was surrounded.

"Zhou Mu, young people are full of vigor, but I am an old man." It was the head of the Li family who spoke, and he brought his wife, and greeted Zhou Mu affectionately.

"Mr. Li, I will blush when you say that." He, Zhou Mu, was able to pull up the Zhou family group in three years, not only because of his own strength, although Mr. Li didn't like it very much at first. But later, Mr. Li really helped a lot, so when facing Mr. Li, the smile on Zhou Mu's face was very sincere.

"Oh, I'm still shy. I'm so young. My old face can only be red with paint. Xiao Mu, you're not young at this age. Do you want Uncle Li to be a matchmaker?" Mr. Li asked narrowly. Blinking, then pouted at a group of young ladies from aristocratic families on the right.

"Ahem." Zhou Mu knew that Mr. Li had this character, and he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. "Uncle Li, you just said that I was young, and now you are drawing red lines?"

"Congratulations."

"Happy together."

"have fun."

……

Zhou Mu didn't take a break, Elder Li stood by his side all the time, looking at this young man who was much more mature than three years ago, he sighed softly.A good seedling, even if it is put up with the Zhou family, alas, I don't know what the Zhou family will do.

I hope the Zhou family's eyelids are not so shallow...

One of the benefits of getting old is that you can see through...

"Uncle Zhang, don't marry me. Brother Zhang is much better than me. I plan to learn from Brother Zhang."

"Mr. Liu, I haven't seen you for a few days. You are much younger."

"Hahaha, I, Zhou Mu, didn't lie, okay, have fun."

Half an hour later, Zhou Mu was free, drank the remaining wine in the glass, put it on the table behind him, turned his head and saw Li Lao's narrow eyes, and his cheeks turned a little red. "Uncle Li, I'm so rude, this... oh, this... I'll punish myself with a drink." Picking up a glass of wine from the waiter, Zhou Mu drank it down.

I was too busy just now, so I didn't take care of Uncle Li for a while, it was really rude.

"..." Mr. Li had a smile on his face all the time, and he didn't care at all. If Zhou Mu hadn't been there, he wouldn't have paid any attention to this banquet. Compared with the old family, it is still much worse.He waited until Zhou Mu finished punishing himself before opening his mouth slowly. "Hey, young people, don't be so impatient, let's forget about self-punishment."

As soon as Zhou Mu swallowed the wine in his mouth, he heard Li Lao say that he didn't mind with a smile, and he smiled helplessly. "Uncle Li." If Uncle Li didn't mean to wait for him to finish his self-punishment, he wouldn't believe it.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Elder Li replied in surprise, as if he didn't understand why Zhou Mu asked him to do it at all, and he also had that puzzled look on his face.

"It's okay." Rubbing his temples, Zhou Mu felt a little dizzy. He should have practiced his drinking capacity. Why did he feel a little dizzy after only a few drinks tonight, and felt like he was sweating?

Puzzled for a while, Zhou Mu didn't take it to heart. He didn't feel tired for various reasons before, maybe it was because he didn't eat at noon.

"Uncle Li, thank you very much." As for the thanks, he didn't need to say, he knew that if it wasn't for his own reasons, Mr. Li would never have come to Zhou's banquet.

The Fan family, Li family, Qin family, Liu family, and the four major families in the county are not comparable to his Zhou family, and his Zhou family is just a second-rate family, and those who come and go are only some second-rate families, such as the Zhang family. A family like the Liu family.What's more, his Zhou family was squeezed into a second-rate family only in the hands of his father.The background of his Zhou family is really bad.

"Need not."

The two chatted for a while, Mr. Li bid farewell, and Zhou Mu also went to work.

At twelve o'clock, all the guests left, and the Zhou family and Zhou Mianxin gathered together to celebrate the Zhou family group's return to glory.

Zhou Mu felt very uncomfortable, his underwear was already wet with cold sweat, and he always felt uncomfortable in his stomach. He went to the toilet just now, and his face was a little pale. His work, rest and diet have not been normal for three years , This happens from time to time, and he doesn't take it to heart.

Grandma Zhou's surname is Wu, and she has a nice name - Lihan.

Grandma Zhou was sitting at the main seat, with Zhou Mianxin and stepmother Lin Yue on the right, and their three brothers on the left, the eldest brother Zhou You, Zhou Mu, and the third brother Zhou Xu.

Because he was uncomfortable, Zhou Mu didn't pay much attention to the expressions of everyone on the table.

"Zhou Mu." Zhou's grandma's voice was always hard when she faced him, and she didn't feel disgusted in these years.

"Grandma, I'm here."

"You deserve it." Wu Lihan dressed formally, glanced at Zhou Mianxin lightly and said nothing.

Zhou Mu's heart trembled, his grandma's attitude towards him...had changed back...

The cold sweat continued to flow, but it was not for the same reason as before. He felt his heart beating a little faster, grandma and the others?

Zhou Mu looked at the expressions of everyone sitting there calmly, the eldest brother looked proud and jealous, the third brother was still disdainful and full of malice, and the corner of the stepmother's mouth was raised, looking very happy.

His father... Zhou Mu watched his father push a straight glass on the table in front of him, the expression on his face was so comfortable, as if he was about to get rid of a burden...

"Thank you, grandma." Zhou Mu was no longer the young man who didn't understand anything in three years. He took the cup with a smile, and looked at Grandma Zhou's face openly with a flattered expression on his face.

Lowering his eyes, Zhou Mu felt a chill in his heart. Are his father and the others planning to kick him away after using him? The glass of wine in his hand is what he deserves? 】

Don't drink it, Zhou Mu is anxious, that glass of wine is poisonous wine, Zhou Mu is anxious, once anxious...

just woke up.

"Huh!" Panting, Zhou Mu finally realized that it was just a dream, a dream similar to memories.

Although he is mature in the dream, he still has expectations for his relatives.
