Ruan Xingwan held the receiver and licked her lips before speaking cautiously: "I just realized that my... stomach medicine is missing. I wonder if it was left in your office..."
"No."
After Zhou Cishen finished speaking, he hung up the phone without hesitation before she could speak again.
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
If you don’t have it, then you don’t have it. Why are you so fierce, you dog man?
Ruan Xingwan was lying on the bed. Although she deliberately said that folic acid was a stomach medicine, if it really happened, relying on the effectiveness of folic acid, the dog man would definitely laugh at her for wishful thinking.
But even so, Ruan Xingwan was still a little worried. He couldn't sleep well at night. He got up early the next morning and went to the cafe and restaurant where he went yesterday and asked about it. They all said they didn't see it.
I can only hope that I fell on the road.
Ruan Xingwan was not idle in the afternoon. He made appointments to view several houses and planned to sign a contract and move out if he found a suitable one today.
…
Zhou Group.
Zhou Cishen raised his head from a pile of documents, looked at the IOU and folic acid placed next to him with a frosty face, and sneered.
It was actually said to be stomach medicine.
Zhou Cishen pursed her thin lips slightly. After a long time, she took out her cell phone, found out the number Ruan Xingwan called her last night, and called her back.
He wanted to see Ruan Xingwan take the bottle of folic acid in front of him, and also wanted to hear what fresh reasons she could come up with.
As soon as the call was connected, a gentle female voice came: "Welcome to call the Winton Hotel. How can I help you?"
Zhou Cishen frowned slightly, hotel?
Isn't she staying at her friend's house? Why go to the hotel?
Thinking of a certain possibility, Zhou Cishen's expression instantly turned cold, and his dark eyes were covered with a thin layer of frost.
I hung up the phone, stood up and walked out of the office with long legs.
When he walked to the door, he turned back, picked up the folic acid on the table and put it in his pocket.
Lin Nan saw him coming out and quickly followed him: "Mr. Zhou..."
Zhou Cishen's voice was slightly cold: "Go to Shengguang."
"yes."
Halfway through the car, Lin Nan answered a phone call with a solemn expression: "Mr. Zhou, the Ji family has gone to the old house. It is said that they are discussing the marriage between Mr. Ji and Miss An An."
Zhou Cishen's cold features showed no emotion, and he said after a few seconds: "Go back."
The Rolls-Royce turned in one direction and drove towards the Zhou family's old residence.
…
In addition to Ji Huai's parents and Ji Ran, there was also Lin Zhiyi who came to Zhou's house this time.
The Lin family and the Zhou family were family friends. Lin Zhiyi was gentle, quiet and well-educated. Zhong Xian had always liked her.
After greeting the elders, Lin Zhiyi also knew that she was not suitable for such an occasion, so she said: "Uncle and aunt, I bought some classical music records abroad this time. Brother Juannian will definitely like them. I'll go get them. give him."
Zhong Xian smiled and said: "Go, he is in the garden.
We haven’t seen you for so long, he must be very happy to see you."
This was originally a meeting between Zhou An'an and Ji Huai. Logically speaking, Zhou An'an is just the daughter of Zhong Xian's sister. Even if she changes her surname to Zhou, she is not really a member of the Zhou family. Her parents should make the decision on her marriage. .
But both families knew very well that Zhou Anan was nothing. What they really wanted to promote this time was the marriage between the Zhou family and the Ji family.
Therefore, it was natural that Mr. Zhou and Zhong Xian were the ones to take charge of the overall situation this time.
This kind of business marriage is normal among wealthy families.
And Zhou Anan also behaves well-behaved and sweet-tongued in front of his elders.
When Ji Huai saw her parents, they felt that she had been spoiled since she was a child and had no evil intentions. Maybe she would change after getting married.
Both parties went to discuss the marriage with their own purposes, and with Zhou Anan's push, the marriage progressed very quickly. Just when it was almost settled, Zhou Cishen suddenly came back.
As soon as he appeared, everyone seemed to have pressed the stop button, and no one spoke anymore.
Only Zhou Anan said happily: "Cousin, Brother Huai Jian and I are going to get engaged soon. No one can compete with me for him in the future."
Mr. Zhou said: "I plan to schedule the wedding next month, and the location will be at the seaside hotel owned by Zhou.
Cishen, what do you think?"
"I disagree."
Zhou Cishen sat on the sofa and said calmly.
Zhou Anan became a little anxious when he heard this: "Cousin..."
Ji Ran said: "I don't know the reason why Mr. Zhou disagrees. Can you tell us about it?"
"When Ji Huai sees something messy outside, he knows it himself."
Ji's father frowned: "Mr. Zhou, please don't talk nonsense. Huai Jianxing sits upright, keeps himself clean, and never acts recklessly outside."
Mr. Zhou said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
Zhou Anan quickly stood up: "It's that woman who has been pestering Brother Huaijian. Brother Huaijian was deceived by her!"
Zhong Xian said: "Which woman?
An'an, please make it clear."
"It's not Ruan..."
As soon as Zhou Anan was halfway through speaking, Zhou Cishen glanced over with a cold gaze.
Zhou Anan gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "In short, Brother Huaijian has nothing to do with her, I will only marry him!"
Ji Ran said at this time: "Although An'an is Mr. Zhou's sister, parents make the final decision on marriage matters, so Mr. Zhou seems to have too much control."
Zhou Cishen's thin lips curled up coldly, and his tone became even more indifferent: "I don't have much time to spare, and I can't care about Zhou Anan's marriage.
But after the marriage, all the shares in her name will be returned to the Zhou family."
As soon as these words came out, the entire living room fell into an eerie silence again.
Zhou Cishen made it very clear that if they want to use this marriage to unite the Ji family to increase their control over the Zhou family, their wishes will only come to nothing.
And this also means that the Zhou family will not have any cooperation with the Ji family. This business marriage will only lead to loneliness in the end.
Zhong Xian's expression turned ugly: "You are going too far."
The reason why Zhou Anan changed his surname was at Zhong Xian's request, in order to obtain Zhou's shares.
But Zhou Cishen's doing this undoubtedly broke all her plans.
After all, the Ji family is also a famous family. Although marrying the Zhou family is of great benefit to them, Zhou Cishen's words were too harsh and they couldn't stand the anger no matter what.
Ji's father stood up and said, "This is your family matter. It's not convenient for us to get involved. Let's take our leave now."
Zhou Anan was extremely anxious and quickly tried to persuade him to stay: "Uncle Ji, my cousin didn't mean that.
Aunt Ji, please advise Uncle Ji, I..."
Ji's mother pulled her hand away: "An'an, let's wait until your family has discussed it, and then we can talk about the future."
Ji Ran also left.
For a while, there were only a few of them left in the living room.
Zhou Anan dared not speak out in anger, so he could only speak urgently: "Cousin, I don't want anything, I just want to be with Brother Huai Jian..."
