My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

Chapter 171 The Pursuer

Nine p.m.

When Zhou Qizhen came out of the bathroom, Lu Xiaoqiao had just finished talking to Zhang Minzhi.

Seeing that Lu Xiaoqiao seemed to be hesitant to speak, Zhou Qizheng put the towel he used to dry his hair aside, sat next to her and pulled her into his arms.

He whispered to her, "What's wrong? Just say whatever you want to say!"

Lu Xiaoqiao raised her eyes and glanced at him: "It's about Zheng Yan's matter during the day."

"Did she go to see you? Or did your aunt tell you something?"

Lu Xiaoqiao heard that his tone was a little unhappy, and hurriedly explained: "No."

Zhou Qizheng sighed softly: "Qiao Qiao! Don't tell me you want to plead for her."

Lu Xiaoqiao broke free from his embrace, sat across from him, looked at him and said, "How is that possible? She bullied me like that! And this is a matter involving money and laws. She can't just take revenge for her own selfish desires. What she did was wrong in the first place."

Zhou Qizheng raised his hand and pinched her cheek, chuckling softly, "Fortunately, you're not completely stupid."

Lu Xiaoqiao slapped his hand away and muttered, "You're such a fool to say that.

Zhou Qizheng said dotingly, "Well, my wife is the smartest."

Lu Xiaoqiao felt embarrassed by what he said, so she raised her hand and pinched his waist. Zhou Qizhen smiled and took her hand.

"Then what do you want to say?"

Lu Xiaoqiao thought for a moment and said, "It's about Zheng Yan's father. My aunt just called me and asked me why you were talking about her father today. What happened to her father?"

Zhou Qi was half leaning against the head of the bed, his posture somewhat lazy, but his tone was unquestionable and resolute.

"If she behaves herself and doesn't bother you anymore, I won't bother with her dad's affairs anymore."

Lu Xiaoqiao stepped forward, put her arms around his neck, and leaned against him: "I just don't want you to offend too many people because of these little things of mine."

Zhou Qizhen was stunned when he heard this. Sitting in his position, how could it be his turn to offend others or not?

The business world is like a battlefield, where the law of the jungle is the iron law. In this environment, any sign of weakness will be pounced on and divided up by competitors like wolves.

If you give in, you will be eliminated. Only by being unstoppable and powerful can you stay firmly at the helm in the business world.

But he couldn't tell all this to the woman nestled in his arms, for fear of scaring her. He was also worried that she would be afraid of him after knowing it.

Now I just hope that she can always live a happy and carefree life, and I just need to smooth the bumps on her road.

Zhou Qizheng stroked her head, kissed her forehead, and replied with the words that made her feel most at ease: "Okay."

……

Then it was Saturday.

The weather today is surprisingly good, with warm wind, bright sunshine and clear sky.

In the Zhou family's old house, everyone from top to bottom got busy early in the morning, just because Lu Xiaoqiao's friends were coming to the house for dinner today.

In order to make his wife happy, Zhou Qizhen specially persuaded the owner of the Northeastern barbecue restaurant that Lu Xiaoqiao loved to come to his house early to marinate the ingredients and prepare secret condiments.

After Lu Xiaoqiao found out, she was so excited that she praised Zhou Qizheng in front of everyone: "What a good husband!"

The owner of the barbecue restaurant also witnessed the blossoming of their love from its inception to the present. Previously, he only knew that this man, whether it was his elegant dress or the limited edition luxury car he drove, all demonstrated that he had a certain financial strength.

But it wasn't until I came to his house today that I realized that I had thought too simply. The geographical location, the furnishings in the house, and even the courtesy and politeness with which the servants were treated.

Only then did he realize that this was not just about economic strength, but all of this revealed the extraordinary nature of this family.

Lu Xiaoqiao asked Zhou Qizhen to pick up her friends early in the morning, and reminded him not to forget to bring Tuanzi with him, as she hadn't seen Tuanzi for a long time.

"No need for me to pick it up, someone will take it."

Lu Xiaoqiao was stunned: "Someone sent it? Who sent it?"

Zhou Qizheng tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and said, "Shen Yi and Yu Xuan will be here soon. Shen Yi will bring them here on the way."

Lu Xiaoqiao frowned. Shen Yi? He must have come here to chase Momo. How did he know? He has a nose like a dog. Really amazing.

But since all his friends were able to come, it was impossible for him to stop Zhou Qizhen's friends from coming. It was neither morally nor logically justifiable, so he could only say "Oh" reluctantly.

……

Shen Yi and Li Yuxuan arrived at Zhou's house at the same time as if they had made an appointment.

The moment the two got off the car, they looked at each other. Shen Yi smiled at him meaningfully. Li Yuxuan turned away expressionlessly, but in fact he had already cursed Shen Yi in his heart!

Seeing that all his friends had arrived, Lu Xiaoqiao hurriedly handed the soy milk he was drinking to Zhou Qizhen and walked straight towards them.

Zhao Jia had met them two days ago, so she greeted Zhao Zhizhi and Momo first.

Then, his eyes stared straight at Qin Momo.

Qin Momo felt a little uneasy when she stared at her: "What's wrong, Xiao Qiao? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Lu Xiaoqiao circled around her and asked in shock, "Momo! Why have you lost so much weight?"

Qin Momo said a little embarrassedly: "I have to thank Mr. Zhou for this. I have changed the medicine I am taking now and stopped taking another medicine, so I have lost a lot of weight. I don't know if I can lose weight back to my original weight."

Lu Xiaoqiao hugged her and said, "Of course I can, Momo. You don't know how beautiful you are now. You look much better too."

"Of course, now Momo has many suitors..." Zhao Jia was about to say that she had many suitors, but when she saw Shen Yi's domineering eyes, she swallowed her words back into her stomach in a cowardly manner.

Since you came here in someone else's car, you should give them some face!

Zhao Zhizhi handed some fruits and food he had brought to Lu Xiaoqiao: "We bought you some of your favorite foods. Where do you think we should put them?"

Lu Xiaoqiao was surprised that they bought so much food for her: "Why are you so polite?"

"We know you have everything you need here, but this is also a token of our appreciation."

Lu Xiaoqiao happily thanked them, then asked them, "Where's Tuanzi? Did you bring it?

Zhao Jia smiled and said, "It's in the cage in the trunk. I brought all the snacks and other things with me."

Lu Xiaoqiao was about to hug her when Zhou Qizheng stopped her: "Qiao Qiao!"

Lu Xiaoqiao looked at him puzzledly: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Qizheng went over and took Tuanzi out of the cage: "You are in a special period now. If you accidentally let it scratch you, it will be very troublesome."

Lu Xiaoqiao understood what he meant: "Then can you hold me and touch it?"

Zhou Qizhen reluctantly let her satisfy her urge to pet the dog, then he put Tuanzi on the ground and let it run and play happily in the yard.

Everyone was there, and Zhou Qi had someone light the charcoal fire. It would take some time for it to be ready, so he, Shen Yi, and Li Yuxuan sat in the pavilion drinking tea.

Lu Xiaoqiao took her friends to see the amusement facilities that Zhou's father had installed for his future grandchildren.
