The next day, as soon as Zhou Cishen came downstairs, Lin Nan hurried in: "Mr. Zhou, something happened."
Whether before or after the engagement, Ji Huaijian's attitude towards Zhou An'an has always been very cold, and the Zhou family and the Ji family only regard this marriage as a business cooperation and do not care about the relationship between them at all.
The only one who takes this engagement seriously is probably Zhou Anan.
If she had restrained herself from rejecting the marriage because she was afraid that Ji Huai would hate her, then after the engagement she could be described as confident.
Ruan Xingwan's pregnancy was like a thorn in her heart, so she blamed Ruan Xingwan for Ji Huaijian's indifference and alienation towards her.
And she always felt that Ruan Xingwan had not gotten pregnant for three years after marrying her cousin. How could she get pregnant after getting divorced? Ji Huai might have met the child to a large extent.
So early this morning, Zhou Anan started a scene at the dinner table, but she was very smart and never mentioned Ruan Xingwan's name from beginning to end. She just said that there was a woman who was pregnant with Ji Huai Jian's child, so Zhou Anan
The old man makes the decision for her.
Even if Mr. Zhou later found out that the person was Ruan Xingwan, it had nothing to do with her.
Mr. Zhou exploded when he heard this. It's a shame not to have feelings, but this matter is related to the face of the Zhou family, not to mention that they had just been engaged for a few days, and something like this happened. At this juncture, something like this happened to the Ji family.
Things that are not on the table also affect the cooperation between them.
Lin Nan said: "The old man wants an explanation. The Ji family members are already on their way to the old house."
Zhou Cishen's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "How did Zhou Anan know?"
"It's not clear yet, I'm going to check now."
"No."
Zhou Cishen walked out with long legs, and his voice was a bit chilly, "If you go and ask, it will become clearer."
…
Zhou family's old house.
Mr. Zhou sat on the sofa with his hands touching the head of his crutch, with a cold face and said nothing.
Opposite, Zhou Anan kept crying there.
After a long time, Mr. Zhou became slightly impatient: "Things have happened, what's the point of crying? You weren't the one who clamored to marry Ji Huai Jian, and he doesn't like you. There is a woman outside."
Sooner or later."
Zhou Anan said aggrievedly: "But it's obviously that woman who has been pestering him, and now that she has a child, they don't care about my feelings at all."
Mr. Zhou said angrily: "So what if he has a child? I don't believe that when Ji Huai sees him, he dares to let that child be born to recognize his ancestors!"
At this time, Zhong Xian glanced at the door and suddenly said: "Yes, after all, not every illegitimate child has such a good life."
Immediately, the servant's voice sounded: "Second Young Master."
Zhou Cishen hummed coolly, with no emotion visible on his stern features.
The whole room suddenly became quiet, and the temperature plummeted.
Seeing Zhou Cishen coming, Zhou Anan didn't dare to cry anymore and could only sob quietly there.
When Zhou Junnian went downstairs, he saw such a scene. He sighed silently: "Cishen, please push me to go for a walk in the garden. I just have something to say to you."
After they left, Mr. Zhou frowned and said, "Do you have to provoke him at this time?"
Zhong Xian sneered: "Who did I offend? I was just telling the truth."
After saying that, she looked at Zhou An'an again: "An'an, no matter what the circumstances, you must not underestimate the ability of an illegitimate child. It is possible that in the not-too-distant future, he will take away everything you have."
Zhou Anan had no idea about their past events, so she nodded and became more determined to completely eliminate Ruan Xingwan and the child in her belly.
After a while, the two elders of the Ji family arrived with Ji Huaijian.
Mr. Zhou held his cane and held back his anger: "Tell me, what is going on and who is that woman?"
Ji Huai looked at Zhou Anan coldly: "Nothing happened."
"You don't have to rush to deny it. I didn't come to you today to prosecute, but to discuss a solution."
Ji's father said solemnly: "I believe in my son's character. He will never do such a thing."
Ji's mother said: "Huai Jian, please explain clearly. Is there any misunderstanding?"
After Zhou Anan heard this, he immediately stood up from the sofa and shouted reluctantly: "How could it be a misunderstanding? I obviously saw it with my own eyes! They have met in private many times, and Brother Huai Jian is everywhere
Defend that woman!”
Ji's mother said helplessly: "An'an, you can't judge this kind of thing with just your eyes, you have to pay attention to evidence."
"The evidence is the child in her belly. Well, I won't pursue it. As long as she beats the child, I will pretend that it never happened."
Ji Huai couldn't bear it anymore: "Zhou An'an, are you finished?"
Hearing this, Zhou Anan's tears immediately fell: "Look, he is still defending that woman. If he has nothing to do with that woman and the child is not his, how could he react so strongly."
Ji's mother pulled Ji Huaijian's sleeve, frowned and said, "Huaijian, don't get excited. If you have anything to say, speak it out.
Since An An has said so, there must be such a person, just explain it clearly."
"She's a friend of mine. Yes, I admit that I like her, but she has already rejected me."
Ji Huaijian said to Zhou An'an, "Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Zhou Anan didn't expect that he would actually admit that he liked Ruan Xingwan in front of everyone. He was immediately embarrassed and annoyed: "I knew it! I knew you liked her. What is so good about that woman that she charmed you?"
With this being the case, even my cousin is now..."
Halfway through her words, she realized that she had spilled the beans and quickly covered her mouth.
Mr. Zhou frowned: "An'an, tell me clearly, what's wrong with your cousin?"
"Tell me, what's wrong with me."
Zhou Cishen's voice came from behind. There was no warmth, but it made Zhou Anan's back feel cold.
Zhou Anan's momentum suddenly weakened by half, and he hesitated: "No, it's nothing..."
Zhou Junnian said: "An'an, since we have made everything clear now, there is no need to continue the misunderstanding.
I'm sorry for bothering you, Uncle Ji, but Aunt Ji will go and apologize to them."
"But……"
Zhou Cishen said calmly: "It's just an engagement now. You can terminate the engagement at any time if you want."
Zhou Anan stopped talking, his eyes full of unwillingness.
In the end, it was Zhou Junnian who came forward to apologize and calmed the dissatisfaction of the two elders of the Ji family.
Although Zhou Junnian is the one with the weakest presence in the Zhou family, not even as good as Zhou Anan, his attitude is the most gentle and polite. If his legs had not been disabled, Zhou would not be like this now, with Zhou Cishen covering his head with one hand.
