Chapter 45 Zhou Wanqiu’s Ambivalence

Yao Nana’s expression was serious.

“Thank you, Grandpa, for clearing my doubts!” she said seriously. “I will show greater respect to Su Chen.”

Yao Zhenfeng smiled and waved his hand. “Respect him, but in terms of behavior, try to keep it casual. It’s better that way.”

“I can tell that Su Chen doesn’t like formalities. If we behave more casually, it would be easier for us to get close to him.”

Yao Nana nodded.

At this moment, Yao Nana’s phone rang.

After the call connected, she spoke quickly and hung up.

“Who is it? Who’s calling you at this hour?” Yao Zhenfeng asked.

“Grandpa, it’s our merchant in Bin Cheng. His name is Wu Yiqi.”

“He wants to help He Zhentian from He Catering Group. He Zhentian is very interested in the Binjiang Entertainment City food center project.”

“He also said that He Catering Group is the number one company in Bin Cheng, and that Zhou Catering Group is about to be annexed by them!”

Yao Nana reported it all.

Yao Zhenfeng smiled. “It looks like Zhou Catering Group is in a difficult situation. There are spies inside and formidable enemies outside.”

“Grandpa, you’ve already given the food center project to Zhou Catering Group. You’ll tell Wu Yiqi and He Zhentian to get lost, right?” Yao Nana said.

Yao Zhenfeng waved his hand.

“No need!”

“I see that Su Chen values Zhou Catering Group quite a lot, so I’ll help him vent his anger!”

“Tomorrow afternoon, send invitations to the Zhou family and the He family. Invite them to a meeting. Tell them to prepare the proposal. I’ll meet them tomorrow night!”

Yao Zhenfeng laughed.

“What about Gao Renhuai?” Yao Nana asked.

Yao Zhenfeng smiled. “With the food center project in hand, the Zhou family will definitely be able to suppress Gao Renhuai. I’ll leave this kind of internal enemy to little friend, Su Chen, to deal with!”

Yao Nana nodded.

Meanwhile…

In the pink Mercedes-Benz…

Qin Yaoyao drove Su Chen back to the Zhou family’s villa.

As she drove, she glanced at Su Chen from time to time.

Su Chen felt a little awkward.

“Is there something on my face?” Su Chen asked.

“No, nothing’s on your face.” Qin Yaoyao licked her lips and said, “You just look like a beautiful flower. I want to pluck you!”

Su Chen pursed his lips and said, “Can you not say such disgusting things?”

“Hehe!” Qin Yaoyao smiled before pouting.

“Savior, I’m so jealous of Zhou Wanqiu!”

Su Chen said lightly, “Why? What did she do to you?”

“Look at her. She didn’t do anything, but she’s getting the new factory project from Tianhao Group. Plus, in just a few days, she’s going to be getting the food center project for free!”

“She’ll probably think she’s amazing, but in truth, you’re secretly helping her!”

“If a man helped me like this, I would definitely…”

“Must I?” Su Chen asked, glancing at her.

Qin Yaoyao smiled. “I’d definitely give him a shock in my pink Mercedes-Benz G.”

Su Chen coughed. He almost choked on his own saliva.

Qin Yaoyao was really going to kill him one day with her shocking statements!

Soon, the car stopped outside the Zhou family’s villa.

Su Chen got out of the car quickly.

Qin Yaoyao stopped him. “Why are you in such a hurry? Don’t forget your clothes!”

Su Chen slapped his head.

He had almost forgotten.

Su Chen opened the trunk and grabbed his clothes.

“Goodbye, darling!”

Qin Yaoyao smiled and greeted him before driving away.

Su Chen pretended not to hear Qin Yaoyao call him that and watched the pink Mercedes-Benz G-Class drive away.

At this moment…

A cold female voice sounded.

“What’s wrong? Can’t bear to part with your ‘darling’ rich woman?”

Zhou Wanqiuwalked out of the villa.

She looked disgusted, and her voice was low.

She emphasized the word “darling”.

Su Chen turned around and saw Zhou Wanqiu.

His heart turned cold.

It seemed that she had heard Qin Yaoyao’s last sentence.

Su Chen suddenly felt a little guilty.

He had no real relationship with Zhou Wanqiu.

However, in the Zhou family’s villa, they were husband and wife.

Su Chen felt like he was caught red-handed by Zhou Wanqiu.

“That-that person just now, she is…”

Su Chen wanted to explain Qin Yaoyao’s reckless personality.

“Shut up!”

“I don’t want to hear it. I’m not interested in your sh*t!”

Zhou Wanqiu’s expression darkened.

This afternoon, when she saw Su Chen get into a pink Mercedes-Benz, she was even more furious.

When she returned home at night, Zhou Rongchang asked her where Su Chen was, but she could only lie and say that he was busy. Initially, she wanted to wait for Su Chen at the door and tell him not to let the old man know.

In the end, she happened to bump into Su Chen saying goodbye to his “lover”. She even heard her call him “darling”.

Zhou Wanqiu was furious all over again. Su Chen didn’t know what to say. “I told you that we have to behave like a married couple in front of Grandpa,” Zhou Wanqiu said coldly. “What are you doing?”

Su Chen knew that he was in the wrong and did not say anything else. Zhou Wanqiucontinued, “I don’t care how many women you’re seeing. But at home, near the villa, you better behave yourself!”

“If my grandfather sees this, or if my mother sees this… Hmph!”

After saying that, Zhou Wanqiu left in a huff.

Su Chen was helpless and quickly followed her.

Under the light, Zhou Wanqiu noticed that Su Chen was carrying shopping bags. She stopped in her tracks and mocked him.

“Your lover is quite rich, isn’t she? She bought you so many branded clothes!”

Su Chen explained weakly, “Actually… I bought all these!”

Qin Yaoyao had wanted to pay for these clothes, but Su Chen insisted on paying.

In the end, he really did pay for them. “Nonsense!” Zhou Wanqiu glared at Su Chen. “Which of these brands do you recognize?” Su Chen was speechless.

Indeed, he did not recognize any of these clothing brands.

“I don’t recognize the brands, but that doesn’t mean I can’t afford them,” Su Chen whispered. “Hmph! Once we go in, tell them that I bought these clothes for you!”

“Also, you came back late because I bought the wrong size. You went to the clothing store to exchange them.”

After Zhou Wanqiu finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Su Chen nodded helplessly. ‘Great!’ The clothes that he had spent hundreds of thousands of yuan on had to be written off as a gift from Zhou Wanqiu.

They stepped into the villa’s living room.

Zhou Rongchang was very happy to see Su Chen.

“Su Chen, you’re back? Where did you go? Why did you come back so late?” the old man asked. Zhou Wanqiu looked at Su Chen. “Grandpa, Mr. Zhou’s clothes don’t fit me very well. So, Wanqiu went shopping with me, and she bought me some new clothes!” Su Chen said quickly.

“Later, I found out that two items were the wrong size, so I went to the store to return them!”

Zhou Pingjiang looked at his daughter in surprise.

He knew about the fake marriage certificate and Zhou Wanqiu’s true feelings about Su Chen.

Therefore, Zhou Pingjiang was the most surprised.

‘Could Wanqiu really like this country bumpkin?’ Zhou Rongchang was stunned. He looked at Zhou Wanqiu in surprise.

Then, he laughed. “I told you! Your relationship is improving!”

“Look at how meticulous Wanqiu is. She realized that Su Chen’s clothes didn’t fit him, so she immediately bought so many new sets for him!”

“Come! Let me see…”

Zhou Rongchang rummaged through his shopping bags and sighed. “Good heavens, these are all big brands. You must have spent a lot!”

“Well done, Wanqiu! Be more attentive to your man’s needs. That way, he will treat you well!”

This praise made Zhou Wanqiu feel awkward and uncomfortable.

She knew that Su Chen was wearing Zhou Pingjiang’s clothes.

However, she had never thought of buying new clothes for him.

Apparently, Su Chen’s “lover” noticed this first and took the opportunity to buy him new clothes.

This made Zhou Wanqiu very frustrated.

She didn’t understand where her frustration was coming from.

She definitely wasn’t willing to buy clothes for Su Chen.

But now, the fact that another woman had bought new clothes for Su Chen made her very angry!

These contradictory ideas made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

“Yes, yes! I should.”

Zhou Wanqiu could only respond to her grandfather’s praise.
