Give the vicious cannon fodder a way to live!

After returning from the hot spring hotel, Zhou Qiaoning's foot injury became more serious, and he rested at home for two days.

On the third day, Zhou Jiayi suddenly called, saying that her father had returned from abroad and asked Zhou Qiaoning to go home for dinner at night.

The old man finally returned home after being ill for so long, Zhou Qiaoning had to go home to visit him as a son.

However, he was worried that he would be scolded if he went back too early, so he returned to the old house in time for dinner. Zhou Jinjiang and Zhou Jiayi were already sitting at the dining table waiting for him.

After entering the door, Zhou Qiaoning obediently said hello to her father and sister, then walked to her own seat and sat down.

Zhou Jiayi noticed that Zhou Qiaoning was walking with a limp, so she asked with concern, "What's wrong with your foot?"

Zhou Qiaoning said lightly: "A few days ago, I accidentally got hurt while riding a horse. The doctor said it's fine, just take care of it for a few days."

Zhou Jiayi: "You didn't hurt your bones, did you?"

Zhou Qiaoning smiled at Zhou Jiayi, "No, don't worry, sister."

"You really want to make your sister feel at ease, but is there anything you do that can make us feel at ease?" Zhou Jinjiang frowned and said in displeasure, "You're such an adult, and you still know how to be blind with a bunch of cronies all day long." You bastard, if you want me to say, you should break your leg so that your memory will be long!"

The old man was angry, Zhou Qiaoning covered his head and didn't dare to say anything, but fortunately Zhou Jiayi helped him out, "Dad, you are in good health, don't get angry, it's okay, it's rare for us to get together as a family, let's eat first."

The servants brought the food to the table one after another. The Zhou family was small, and the dining table was always relatively deserted. As the bottom of the Zhou family's food chain, Zhou Qiaoning knew the truth of saying too much and making mistakes. He just focused on eating, and only heard Zhou Jinjiang and Zhou Jiayi talking from time to time. Let's talk about the company.

The meal was almost finished, Zhou Jinjiang glanced at Zhou Qiaoning, "Why do you talk so little today?"

Zhou Qiaoning put down his chopsticks, and said honestly, "I'm afraid that talking too much will make you unhappy."

"If you didn't make a mistake, why would I be upset?" Zhou Jinjiang slapped the table and said bitterly, "I heard it abroad, you can't manage such a small company well, so what do you expect to achieve in the future?"

Zhou Jiayi hurriedly persuaded: "Dad, I have already scolded him who should be scolded, and he knows he is wrong, so don't be angry."

Zhou Qiaoning nodded and said sincerely: "Yes, Dad, I know I was wrong, and I'm trying to find a way to get the company back."

"What can you do?" Zhou Jinjiang snorted coldly in disbelief, "I won't hold you accountable for the bankruptcy of your company for the time being, I have a more important matter with you..."

Zhou Jinjiang didn't finish his sentence, but for some reason Zhou Jiayi suddenly interrupted him, "Dad, you haven't recovered from the jet lag just now, go upstairs and rest first, let me talk to Xiao Ning about this."

Zhou Jinjiang hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, then let your sister tell you."

Zhou Qiaoning didn't know what kind of medicine the father and daughter sold in the gourd, but his intuition was not a good thing.

After dinner, the old man went upstairs to rest, the servant cleaned up the dining room, and the siblings went to the living room to talk.

Zhou Jiayi made a pot of tea herself and poured a cup for Zhou Qiaoning, "Try it, this is the new tea of ​​this year."

Zhou Qiaoning vaguely guessed what Zhou Jiayi was going to say to him, most likely it was about marriage, how could he have any intention of drinking tea, pushed the teacup aside, and asked nervously, "Sister, what did Dad tell you to tell me?" Huh? Don't keep it up."

Zhou Jiayi brushed her hair that was hanging down to her ears, "Do you know the He family in the east of the city?"

Zhou Qiaoning said inwardly that it was true, and asked back quietly: "I know, what's wrong?"

"The He family has a daughter who is about the same age as you. She came back from studying abroad and she looks pretty. The He family intends to marry our family, so..."

"Sister, it's not that you don't know me, I like men," Zhou Qiaoning shook her head, "How can I marry Miss He? Isn't this a fraudulent marriage?"

Zhou Jiayi picked up the small and exquisite blue and white porcelain cup, lowered her head and took a sip of tea, "Miss He knows it, she said she doesn't care. In a wealthy family, it is common for the couple to play their own way after two marriages, and sexual orientation is not a big deal .”

"But I don't want to! My fate is in my own hands, no one can make the decision for me! I don't want to get married!"

"Zhou Qiaoning!" Zhou Jiayi put the tea cup heavily on the tea table, turned up the volume, and looked at Zhou Qiaoning with hatred, "When will you become more mature and not so naive? Who doesn't want to decide their own destiny? But your last name Zhou, everything you have today was given to you by the Zhou family! Do you feel wronged? Do you think you are the only one who is sacrificing for this family? "

Zhou Jiayi loved Zhou Qiaoning's younger brother very much since she was a child. She rarely spoke so harshly. As an older sister, she certainly hoped that her younger brother would live a good life and have a happy marriage. But she was not just Zhou Qiaoning's older sister. And the entire Zhou family.

"Father should have told you about this, but I'm worried that you and your father will quarrel. Dad has a bad heart and can't stand stimulation." Zhou Jiayi rubbed her forehead and said with a tired expression, "I just took Dad's I conveyed my intention to you, not to discuss it with you, nor to discuss it. I will accompany you to see Miss He at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. "

Zhou Qiaoning looked at her sister, who had neat short hair and could not hide the tiredness between her brows, and couldn't say anything to refute for a while.

The former Zhou Jiayi was also a beauty with fluttering long hair, and she had a boyfriend who was in love with her.

Later, her boyfriend wanted to study abroad, but Zhou Jiayi wanted to take over the company under Zhou Jinjiang's arrangement. For the sake of Zhou's family, Zhou Jiayi had no choice but to reluctantly break up with her boyfriend, cut off her beloved long hair, and gradually grew from an innocent girl who knew nothing about the world to A powerful woman in the business world.

She also sacrificed her own happiness for the Zhou family, and devoted countless efforts to the Zhou family, so Zhou Qiaoning has no position to criticize her.

"Xiao Ning, my sister has been cleaning up the mess for you all this time, but in the future, the Zhou family will still be handed over to you, and you should grow up."

After Zhou Jiayi finished speaking, she got up and left and went up to the second floor, leaving Zhou Qiaoning alone in the living room to think about it.

Of course, Zhou Qiaoning couldn't accept the marriage arrangement willingly, and he wasn't the prodigal son of the original owner.

But Zhou Jiayi, the cheap sister, was very kind to him, and he couldn't bear to hurt Zhou Jiayi's heart.

Zhou Qiaoning thought over and over again, and had an idea in her mind. Since the Zhou family couldn't refuse, if they want to destroy the marriage between the Zhou and He families, they can only start with the He family!

The next morning, Zhou Qiaoning obediently followed Zhou Jiayi to the hotel for a blind date.

After waiting in the box for more than half an hour, that Ms. He came belatedly. Along with her, there was also a young man who introduced themselves to each other. It turned out that the man was Ms. He's brother.

These two brothers and sisters, the elder brother is called He Jinyun, tall and handsome in appearance, with an extraordinary bearing, and the younger sister is He Shuyun, who is beautiful in appearance and gentle in temperament.

From the outside, He Shuyun looks like a traditional lady, but she doesn't look like someone who can accept open marriage at all.

Blind dates are nothing more than eating and chatting, Zhou Qiaoning is not active about it, only when asked about him, he will take the initiative to say a few words, and he is short of writing "I don't want to" on his face to tell people that he is being forced.

Halfway through the meal, the two ladies left the box to go to the bathroom to touch up their makeup. There were only two men left in the box, Zhou Qiaoning and He Jinyun. Zhou Qiaoning's eyes rolled, and the opportunity came!

Originally, he was wondering if he would be too gentlemanly to attack a woman, but he didn't expect that He Shuyun brought a brother here, so it just happened to hit him in the muzzle!

Zhou Qiaoning raised his wine glass to pay respects to He Jinyun, "Mr. He and Lingmei have such a good relationship, and now it is rare to see my brother accompanying his sister on a blind date."

He Jinyun also paid him back, and said with a smile: "Naturally, Shuyun and I are siblings from the same mother."

Zhou Qiaoning turned the wine glass in his hand, and said slowly: "Then why are you willing to push Lingmei into my pit of fire?"

He Jinyun raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

"First of all, I'm gay, you know that?" Zhou Qiaoning looked at He Jinyun's expression with a smile, only to see that He Jinyun's expression froze, and it was replaced by Zhou Qiaoning raising his eyebrows, "You don't know?"

He Jinyun was silent for a while, "The marriage was decided by my father, I don't know the details."

"But Ms. He knows that she is willing to accept open marriage." Zhou Qiaoning picked up the fork and tapped the plate casually, "Actually, to me, whether to get married or not is just a matter of multiple names on the spouse column, but there is one thing I think I need to let you know in advance."

"what?"

"To be honest, my private life is a bit chaotic, and I have many lovers. If they know that I'm married, they will definitely have objections, and I'm afraid they will cause trouble for your He family."

He Jinyun loosened his tie, still maintaining a steady smile on his face, and said in a proud tone, "Don't scare me. Looking at the whole of Yucheng, there are not many people who can trouble our He family."

"Really?" Zhou Qiaoning pursed his lips and chuckled, suddenly his mobile phone on the table rang, and he picked it up in front of He Jinyun, with a very friendly tone, "Brother Qin Huai, what are you looking for me for?"

Qin Huai was puzzled: "Didn't you ask me to call you?"

Zhou Qiaoning began to direct and act on her own: "Really, didn't we meet last night? Miss me again?"

"Zhou Qiaoning, are you crazy?"

"I still have something to do, hang up first, I will go to you at night."

"It's so annoying, you can't do without seeing me for a day." Zhou Qiaoning hung up the phone, glanced at the suspicious He Jinyun, and shook the phone, "You don't believe it's Qin Huai who called, do you? How about I call you to say hello to him now?"

He Jinyun held his breath very calmly, took a sip of wine, shook his head with a smile: "No need."

Before the phone was put down, the bell rang again.

Zhou Qiaoning answered again, with the same intimacy as before, "Brother Jiang Sui, why do you think of calling me at this time?"

Jiang Sui: "Didn't you tell me to fight?"

Under He Jinyun's gaze, Zhou Qiaoning bowed her head and smiled sweetly, "I miss you too, see you at the same place tomorrow night."

Jiang Sui: "What old place?"

"Okay, you go ahead and remember to miss me~"

He Jinyun was enjoying Zhou Qiaoning's performance thoughtfully, and when he hung up the phone, he asked with interest, "If I remember correctly, Qin Huai and Jiang Sui, these two people just got engaged, right?"

"Yeah, well, I also want to keep a low profile, but unfortunately my personality doesn't allow it." Zhou Qiaoning rubbed his forehead, pretending to be deeply disturbed, "Actually, I don't care if I marry your sister, but I'm afraid they will be jealous. , of course, in their identities, they naturally disdain to embarrass a woman, but it is uncertain whether they will trouble you as an older brother, so your He family should carefully consider whether to marry their daughter to me."

He Jinyun nodded in agreement, "Mr. Zhou is right, I also think we need to reconsider."

Zhou Qiaoning was secretly delighted when he heard the words, this matter is going to happen!

It just so happened that Zhou Jiayi and He Shuyun also came back after finishing their makeup, Zhou Qiaoning and He Jinyun tacitly pretended nothing happened, and talked and laughed like before.

After chatting for a while, He Jinyun took the initiative to say goodbye, and Zhou Qiaoning and Zhou Jiayi sent them out of the hotel. Before parting, He Jinyun suddenly proposed to have a private word with Zhou Jiayi.

When Zhou Jiayi and He Jinyun came back after chatting, Zhou Qiaoning saw her sister's solemn expression, her heart was already full of joy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising, "Sister, what did he tell you?"

Zhou Jiayi looked up at her younger brother, hesitated to speak, seemed very embarrassed, "He said... he wanted to change his marriage partner."

Oh yeah!Plan a success!

But before Zhou Qiaoning was happy for two seconds, she heard Zhou Jiayi say: "He Jinyun said that he is also single, let him marry you..."

Zhou Qiaoning was dumbfounded, and staggered back: "What?!"
