It was getting dark. In a wealthy villa area in the center of Nanhai City, a spacious two-story villa was decorated with lights and decorations. There were also two large lanterns hung at the door that were only hung out during the Chinese New Year.
This is Zhou Qingqing's home. Today, the three sons and one daughter of the Zhou family, plus the head of the family, all gathered at Zhou Qingqing's home, waiting to welcome the eldest son of the Shi family from the capital.
"When you understand, Zi'ang, you and your wife can just go to the capital with your daughter." Mr. Zhou, who was sitting on an imperial chair, told his second son.
"Yes." Zhou Ziang nodded and glanced at his wife sitting next to him. His wife had been worried ever since her daughter called Ma Long just now.
Having been unable to get through to Ma Long before, Zhou Ziang gave up the idea. Originally, he planned to let Ma Long secretly pick up his daughter and leave the house. By noon, his family slowly gathered together, and his daughter could not leave at this time.
As a result, the phone call was connected again in the afternoon. When he saw his daughter secretly calling for help, his eldest brother Zhou Zicong snatched the phone fiercely. He couldn't hide anything about his daughter and Ma Long from his eldest brother. Now he was worried about what might happen to Ma Long.
If you run away, things will be difficult to handle.
He sighed and thought of his poor daughter who was still distressed upstairs, wondering what to do next.
"Second brother, why are you sighing?" Zhou Ziang's younger brother Zhou Zishan asked with a smile, "I have become the son-in-law of the eldest son of the Shi family of the seven major families in the capital. Is there anything dissatisfied with my second brother? Hehe, it's a pity that I don't live up to expectations.
My son has an extra piece of meat, otherwise I will have to compete with you to get this marriage."
Although Zhou Zishan was only half-joking, he was also half-telling his true feelings. His unlucky son was Shen Bingbing's fiancé. Almost everyone in the family knew that he was gay. Because of this, the marriage with the Shen family basically failed.
Although it is over, the rumors have never stopped. It is basically known to everyone in the circles of the powerful. Even if his son gets married in the future, he will never find a daughter from such a big family again. I don’t know.
He was so angry with his son that he also had dysfunction in this area. Although he was still young, Zhou Zishan was unable to produce children, which made him somewhat discouraged over the years.
So when he saw his second brother sighing, he couldn't help teasing him sourly. In fact, he was suffering more than anyone else. He had an offspring that was neither male nor female. Who wouldn't worry if he replaced him?
"Does the second brother still think about that boy named Ma?" The boss Zhou Zicong said with a smile, "Although he is the benefactor of your second brother's family, he also robbed the daughter-in-law of the third brother's family. The merits and demerits are equal to each other.
Don't mention him again from now on. He has already climbed into the Shen family's lap, can he still marry Qingqing?"
What Zhou Zicong said was true. In fact, it also expressed Zhou Ziang's feelings. Although he felt that it was good for his daughter to follow Ma Long and stay away from the Zhou family's den of disputes, but after his private investigation, he found that there were so many women around Ma Long that he was puzzled.
After seeing how this boy's love luck was so strong, he felt a little worried that his daughter would follow him.
"Is Qingqing still having a bad temper?" At this time, Mr. Zhou said, "It's getting late, and the people from the Shi family are coming to pick up the bride. Let her get ready quickly, and don't make a big face when the time comes. How can we tell others?
Explain?" Then he ordered the housekeeper to bring the second lady downstairs and let him enlighten her.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Qingqing's door opened and she slowly walked downstairs.
When I arrived in the living room, I greeted my grandparents and uncles one after another, and then sat down beside my mother dejectedly.
Seeing her daughter still in pajamas, with disheveled hair and sunken eye sockets, Yang Lisi almost shed tears. As a woman, of course she understands the pain of not being able to marry the one she loves. When she was young, she wanted to compete with Zhou Enlai.
At home, she also broke up with her first love boyfriend, and she still thinks about it from time to time. So Yang Lisi vowed never to let her daughter follow her own path again. She thought that being born in this wealthy family, her daughter would not suffer such grievances again.
, I didn’t expect that this kind of thing would happen. Of course, it turned out that she had not worried about this kind of thing because Zhou Qingqing had been sick in bed, so she had no time to dream about getting married one day.
"Qingqing, grandpa is doing this for your own good." Mr. Zhou persuaded him slowly, "It's not too far to marry in the capital. If you can't bear to leave your parents, just ask them to move their company there to accompany you. The same goes for the Shi family.
We have been in a wealthy and distinguished family for many generations, and the young people in the family are also quite good. You will not have to endure hardship when you marry into their family. You are right to listen to grandpa."
Zhou Qingqing lowered her head and patiently listened to her grandfather's words before muttering in a low voice: "I will only marry the person who saves my life..."
Mr. Zhou frowned. His granddaughter was rescued by a man named Ma Long. He also heard this from his eldest son, and this man named Ma Long was the one who robbed his third son and daughter-in-law before. This
The messy relationship gave Mr. Zhou a headache, but now the engagement with the Shi family has been finalized. Not to mention Malone, the gatekeeper, not even the principal or the mayor can take the place of this marriage.
"The person to pick up the bride is coming soon. You should dress up quickly." Mr. Zhou changed the subject, "Master Shi will laugh at you if he sees you like this."
"It's just a joke, it would be better if he doesn't want me!" Zhou Qingqing suddenly plucked up the courage to say, "I have been even uglier than I am now after being sick for many years. Maybe one day the old illness will relapse and become even uglier. Will they come back then?
Call off the engagement!"
Mr. Zhou was speechless for a while when his granddaughter spoke to him.
"Qingqing, why are you talking to grandpa!" Uncle Zhou Zicong scolded, "Just do whatever you are told, will we hurt you? You are still young and don't understand anything, but you will thank us in the future!"
Zhou Qingqing raised her eyebrows and muttered in a low voice: "Anyway, I won't go to the capital, and I won't marry someone from a 'dead family' or a living family..."
"You..." Zhou Zicong was about to scold him a few more words, when suddenly the door to the living room was pushed open, and a young guard in a suit and leather shoes broke in.
Mr. Zhou stood up first, laughed and asked, "Is someone from the Shi family here?"
"Yes, we have arrived..." The security guard hesitated, "It's just..."
"Just what?" Mr. Zhou's expression changed, fearing that something would go wrong again at this time.
The security guard glanced at the questioning old man, lowered his head and said, "As soon as the Shi family's luxury car arrived at the door, it was suddenly hit by a jeep coming from the opposite direction!"
A car crashed? The Zhou family were shocked and confused. There were villas nearby, and there were very few people there, let alone cars. How could it be such a coincidence that a car crashed at this time?
The most surprised among them was Zhou Qingqing's father Zhou Zi'ang. He thought to himself that Ma Long would never come again? He knew something about him through investigating Ma Long. I'm afraid only he could do such crazy things.
Just when everyone was confused, Zhou Qingqing was the first to run towards the door. She was full of expectations, hoping that Ma Long would answer her call and save her...
