Was Aquaman’s ex-husband cremated today?

Chapter 154: At least keep me for a minute

It turned out that Zhou Yongan sent a message to Zhou Ying after the annual meeting, asking her to go to the bookstore to buy a book before returning to China.

But he didn't expect that besides himself, there was someone else who cared so much about his wife and gave the book to Li Qingwen before him.

After Zhou Ying closed the door and rested, Zhou Yongan took Li Qingwen's hand and returned to his room.

Every time before they came, Luo Zijin would clean the room, dry the quilts, and change into new four-piece sets.

The two people sat idly in front of the window, playing with each other's hands out of boredom. Sometimes they looked at the palm lines, arguing about which one was the lifeline and which one was the career line, and sometimes they wondered how many snails were on each other's ten fingers.

Zhou Yongan's lifeline is very long, and Li Qingwen's lifeline is also long, but the love line is divided into two sections and broken in the middle, which means that she will either experience two love affairs or get divorced once in the middle. This made Zhou Yongan very angry, and he insisted that it was groundless and unbelievable.

Then there were two snails on his ten fingers, and the rest were winnowing baskets. Li Qingwen had nine snails in his hand. It is said that the more snails one has, the richer he is and the better his destiny. Zhou Yongan was satisfied and said this was credible.

After staying in the room for a while, with the sun still shining outside, the two went downstairs, wrapped themselves tightly in down jackets, and walked around the huge manor.

The plum blossoms in the backyard are blooming tenaciously, the setting sun is shining on the yard, and everything becomes peaceful and beautiful.

The two of them walked around, and seeing that it was still early and they didn't want to stay in the living room, they went out of the alley and walked to a nearby open space.

Li Qingwen remembered that Zhou Yongan said last time that this was the property of Weiye Group, and also thought of the contract that Tong Xiao sent to her last night, asking her to help check if there were any traps or something.

By now, she should have signed the contract impersonating the daughter of Weiye Group. She really couldn't understand why the young master of Weiye Group and Tong Xiao were so daring, one of them dared to say and the other dared to do.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Yongan withdrew his gaze from the distance.

Pick up a stick from the ground.

Li Qingwen suddenly asked, "Should I get a full face lift?"

Zhou Yongan was stunned: "You still have appearance anxiety, how can the other 900 million girls live?"

Li Qingwen joked with him: "After all, grandma doesn't like my face."

Hearing this, Zhou Yongan took it seriously and raised his hand to pinch her chin: "Grandma will recognize you by then, so do I still love you?"

Is this considered a threat?

Li Qingwen seized the loophole in his words and said, "So you only love my appearance?"

Zhou Yongan was speechless after hearing this. Seeing the cunning look in her eyes, he knew she was setting a trap.

He smiled and sighed, and said, "How about this, you make yourself look like me, I make myself look like you, and then let grandma kick me out."

Li Qingwen: "If you make yourself look like me, then I won't do it."

Zhou Yongan: "Double Li Qingwen, let's play a real and fake Monkey King for grandma?"

The two men were fighting each other, and Zhou Yongan started to play with his golden cudgel in the open space. However, due to his poor skills, the cudgel kept falling to the ground.

It was not until the sun set that the two returned to the old house.

Zhou Xixiang had returned from outside, bringing back several boxes of cherries. Xiao Zhang and other servants were moving them from the car into the house.

It was almost time to start dinner in the living room, but Zhou Ying hadn't come downstairs yet. Luo Zijin said Zhou Xixiang had gone upstairs to call Zhou Ying.

In Zhou Ying's room, Zhou Xixiang sat at the head of the bed, looking at his sister tenderly.

After staring for a moment, he was still reluctant to wake his sister up, so he quietly walked out of the room and closed the door.

Everyone downstairs was already sitting around the table. Seeing the boss coming down alone, Luo Zijin asked, "Is Zhou Ying still asleep?"

Zhou Xixiang nodded: "Let her sleep, she is still suffering from jet lag."

When the old lady heard what her eldest grandson said, she immediately closed her open mouth.

Start eating.

After finishing the meal quietly, Luo Zijin asked the kitchen to heat up a meal, and then told the servants to divide the bacon and sausages in the house in half and have the servants bring them to Zhou Yongan's car.

I also picked up a box of cherries.

The two brothers sat on the sofa drinking tea. Zhou Xixiang asked him what time he would come tomorrow, and then they started chatting about business, talking about the first priority of starting work after the New Year.

Zhou Yongan was also happy to talk to him about these things. From the conversation with his eldest brother, he could understand his eldest brother's thoughts and how he handled things.

The eldest brother likes to use both hardness and softness, and likes to strike at the weakest part of the snake, either without making any move or killing with one blow. Zhou Yongan has been trying to align himself with this mature and steady way of handling things.

"Brother, maybe I need to adjust my work direction after the new year." Zhou Yongan hinted.

Zhou Xixiang paused while holding the water cup, and understood what he meant: "Do you still want to go back to investment banking?"

"I've tried working in a bank for the past six months, but there's not much room for me to play with. It's not suitable for someone like me who likes high-risk investments. I'd better continue to play in the capital circle, where there's more room for expansion. Besides, with Huayu Bank in the back, Huayun Investment Bank must also develop."

Zhou Yongan spent nearly a year in the United States and had a thorough understanding of the operating models of investment banks on Wall Street. His six-month experience at Huayu after returning to China also gave him a clear understanding of the bank's deposit-taking business.

Now he knows clearly that developing investment banking is the path he should take in the future.

Zhou Xixiang didn't say anything, but glanced at Li Qingwen who was talking to his mother not far away: "Go now, I knew you wouldn't last long."

"That's so straightforward. At least keep me for ten minutes."

Zhou Xixiang glared at him and said, "If you decide, I will arrange for Xiaowen to take your place."

Zhou Yongan glanced at Li Qingwen and nodded: "It's appropriate for her to pick it up."

After sitting for a while, Zhou Yongan stood up and was about to go back, but Zhou Xixiang stayed because he had not yet had a chance to talk to Zhou Ying.

On the way back, Li Qingwen was puzzled and asked Zhou Yongan, "Why didn't grandma embarrass me today?"

Zhou Yongan held the steering wheel and gently turned it, saying, "Could it be that he didn't even see you?"

"... Zhou Yongan, stop joking." She was already prepared for the rain, but in the end there was no thunder or rain. It was really strange.

Zhou Yongan comforted her, "Then think positively. After all, it's Chinese New Year tomorrow. If she turns her face away at this time, it will make everyone uneasy."

That makes sense, but grandma dared to speak like that even at the annual meeting, so why would she be so frugal with her words now?

No matter how Li Qingwen thought about it, he felt that things were not simple.

Without thinking any more, Li Qingwen sat in the co-pilot seat and started chatting with Xiao Chibang.

Li Qingwen: "Hello, Little Wing, please report tomorrow's weather."

Li Qingwen: "Hello, little wing, who is your father?"

Li Qingwen: "Hello, Little Wing, what is your New Year's wish?"

Li Qingwen: "Hello, Little Wings, please play Wang Xinling's "Love You"."
