From the moment he was taken back to the Zhou family with the title of illegitimate son, Zhou Cishen was disgusted with this so-called blood relationship and blood inheritance.
Especially when he stepped into the door of Zhou's house and saw Zhou Junnian, who was half-paralyzed and sitting in a wheelchair, his eyes filled with gloom, the filth and inferiority that even the bricks and tiles could not conceal almost made him suffocate.
Therefore, Ruan Xingwan's use of children as bargaining chips has indeed touched his bottom line.
Zhou Cishen turned on his phone again. Because of the previous blocking and deletion, the dialogue between him and Ruan Xingwan did not contain her careful concern, her tireless advice, or her quiet and obedient waiting. There was only a blank space.
.
He opened the input box with his long finger, typed a few words, and deleted them one by one.
An hour later, just as Ruan Xingwan was getting ready to go to bed, the phone on the bedside suddenly vibrated.
She closed her eyes and saw only a few cold words from the dog man: "Twenty-five days left."
】
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
As for him, he came here in the middle of the night to count down her death.
Ruan Xingwan thought for a while, didn't even bother to type, and replied with an OK gesture.
Serious and formal.
It symbolizes her determination to pay back the money on time.
However, she was very dissatisfied with Zhou Cishen's practice of disturbing people's dreams, so she changed the comment from "dog man" to "Zhou Bapi" overnight.
I put down my phone again and fell asleep with satisfaction.
Shu Siwei also heard the news from Shengguang Jewelry. After doubting himself for a while, he confirmed the fact.
That is, although Mr. Zhou is indifferent to her on the surface, he actually cares for her in his heart.
Now think about it carefully, every time he scolded her, it was because Ruan Xingwan was making trouble, and she was trying to win his favor by playing some tricks.
But after that, he didn't do anything to her, and he even did this just to give her the resources of Shengguang Jewelry.
It seems that because of Ruan Xingwan, Zhou Cishen is extremely disgusted with such things.
But if this is the case, then she doesn't need to resort to any tricks at all. If she behaves herself in the future, she will naturally be able to distance herself from people like Ruan Xingwan, and Zhou Cishen will like her more.
With this idea in mind, when Shu Siwei met Ruan Xingwan backstage at the show, he did not go up to ridicule him like before. He just snorted disdainfully and left lightly.
Pei Shanshan said with a confused expression: "Why didn't she pounce on me like a mad dog today?"
Ruan Xingwan arranged the jewelry in front of him: "Maybe he was vaccinated against rabies."
Even though Pei Shanshan didn't tell Ruan Xingwan that Shu Siwei would be the focus of everyone's attention during this show, when she went to Shengguang to find Lin Si a few days ago, she had already heard many people discussing that Zhou Cishen was doing it again for Shu Siwei.
A lot of money was spent.
Not only the staff of Shengguang Jewelry, but also the models and other designers on the catwalk were envious.
It goes without saying that as a model, you can choose the top resources at will, but if a designer gets this opportunity, he will undoubtedly get more platforms to display his talents. Not only that, he can even get the opportunity to work with well-known foreign designers.
Teacher’s cooperation and guidance.
Whether he becomes famous or not depends on this.
This kind of hope that is so close yet so far away makes people lament the abomination of capitalists.
In contrast, Ruan Xingwan didn't care about this. If it were three years ago, she might still want to fight her fate to the end, but the cruelty of reality also made her clear that she was not qualified.
What's more, she was criticized three years ago for being a person without dreams.
Now she just wants to pay back Zhou Cishen's money as soon as possible, and then raise the little guy in her belly safely and healthily.
As for what kind of romance Zhou Cishen and Shu Siwei want to play, it has nothing to do with her.
Just looking at the necklace he had stayed up late to design and putting it on Shu Siwei's neck, Ruan Xingwan still had some impulsive thoughts about committing a crime.
Shu Siwei sat in front of the makeup mirror, fidgeting with the necklace around her neck with her fingers, and said casually: "If it weren't for Sheng Guang's sake, I wouldn't even wear something like this designed by an unknown designer.
Will wear it."
Pei Shanshan was originally taking photos of the models preparing for the backstage to be published in the next issue of the magazine. Hearing this, he replied slowly: "Yes, you are a big name.
I don’t know who shot an advertisement not long ago, but in the end the advertiser terminated the contract without even releasing the materials.”
Hearing this, Shu Siwei's expression changed. He was about to stand up and fight back, but it was not all because of that bitch Ruan Xingwan. He also thought that there were so many people here and he wanted to maintain his own image, so he raised his buttocks and sat back down.
She snorted coldly: "That's better than being disgusted and disgusted by your husband."
Just as Pei Shanshan was about to start a fight with her, Ruan Xingwan stopped her: "The show is about to start, let's go out."
Shu Siwei is now deeply liked by Zhou Cishen, and it will not do them any good to have a head-on conflict with her.
…
Because this fashion show was held in Nancheng, and Shengguang Jewelry was the organizer, many people from all walks of life came, including famous stars from the entertainment industry.
As a popular actress, Xu Wan was naturally among the attendees.
And since she was an artist under the Zhou family, her position was arranged next to Zhou Cishen.
After the show started, the lights in the auditorium dimmed.
Xu Wan looked a little bored for a while, yawned and found a topic: "I heard that Mr. Zhou even sent out Zhou's gold medal public relations team in order to make people smile."
Zhou Ci looked sideways, his facial features hidden in the half-dark light, and his voice was unusually cold: "What nonsense are you talking about."
"Isn't that the case?
I've received a lot of private messages recently that feel sorry for me and comfort me. It's not like this is coming out of nowhere."
"What can I do to comfort you?"
Zhou Cishen's expression remained unchanged, "It's a pity that my new love is not you."
Xu Wan: "..."
She twitched her lips with a smile on her face and said, "Mr. Zhou is really good at joking."
This bitch actually sent a public relations team for Shu Siwei. She was the one who was comforted by the whole network and asked if it was okay, but in the end she was ridiculed by him...
Just when Xu Wan thought that all the topics for today were over, Zhou Cishen took the initiative to speak: "It's not a new love.
Old love doesn’t count either.”
"..."
What was he talking about that was insane?
Although Xu Wan wanted to complain about him crazily, Zhou Cishen was his boss after all, so he gave a perfunctory laugh: "Haha, really, that's really unfortunate."
