Chapter 3166 Mr. Zhou Extra 15

Mrs. Zhou made an appointment with her old sisters early in the morning to have morning tea together. After the sisters' gathering, thinking that today was the weekend, Mrs. Zhou stopped by to see her grandson Zhou Zhanzheng.

Although Zhou Zhanzhuo is Zhou Rui's adopted child, because the child looks so much like Zhou Rui, Mrs. Zhou really loves Zhou Zhanzhuo as her own grandson.

Especially watching the child grow up day by day, taking out the clothes that Zhou Rui wore when he was a child and giving them to Zhou Zhan to wear. Seeing that many relatives couldn't tell whether it was Zhou Zhan or Zhou Rui. Mrs. Zhou's attitude toward Zhou Zhan A little more love.

In addition, Zhou Zhanzhuo's biological parents died early, and they were orphans, which meant that Zhou Zhanzhuo had no relatives in this world, so Mrs. Zhou felt a little more pity for Zhou Zhanzhuo.

Moreover, since Zhou Rui adopted the child and became a father, Zhou Rui is not as dull as he was when the accident happened. Having a child by his side is also a good thing for Zhou Rui.

Upon entering, Mrs. Zhou's first sentence was to ask, "It's already this hour, the young master should have gotten up, right? What is he doing now?"

The aunt listened and smiled quickly, "The husband and the young master invited a friend home as a guest today. The young master is taking Miss Li to the terrace to see his small farm."

"Zhou Rui brought a friend back as a guest?" Mrs. Zhou was slightly surprised.

"Yes, she is a female friend." The aunt knew what surprised Mrs. Zhou, so she continued in a low voice, "Miss Li is a very nice person, and the young master and Miss Li get along very well."

The aunt has been employed by Zhou Rui for several years. In all these years, she has never seen Zhou Rui invite a female friend home as a guest.

Miss Li is the first.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Mrs. Zhou would be so surprised.

Zhou Rui heard the sound from the entrance and came over. When he saw his mother coming in while talking to his aunt, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of the terrace.

It was also a coincidence that at this time, Zhou Zhanzhi was leading Li Zhaozhao in from the terrace.

Zhou Zhan invited Li Zhaozhao to return the favor, and when the peanuts he planted bore fruit, he invited Li Zhaozhao to his house to eat peanuts.

When Li Zhaozhao took Zhou Zhanzheng's hand and returned to the living room, Mrs. Zhou's eyes trembled suddenly.

"Li Zhaozhao?" Mrs. Zhou took a breath, "How could it be you?"

Mrs. Zhou was stunned. She never thought that Li Zhaozhao would suddenly appear in Zhou Rui's home after so many years. Thinking about the last time we met, Li Zhaozhao still had the childishness of a young girl. Today, she has completely gotten rid of that childishness. Her face has not changed much over the years, it is just better than the last time. She was even thinner when we met.

The biggest change in Li Zhaozhao is that she is no longer the young girl who just graduated from college.

"Mom, she is a partner specially invited by our company. The project design developed by the company this time was undertaken by her company. She is the mysterious designer that our company has been looking for before." Zhou Rui explained for Li Zhaozhao , "When I took Zhan Cheng to find her, Zhan Cheng had a good relationship with her, and it was Zhan Cheng who invited her back as a guest."

Listening to Zhou Rui's explanation, Mrs. Zhou nodded, already understanding in her heart.

The childishness of the little girl back then has been washed away, and her identity is no longer the little-known model and actress she was back then.

She is now also a well-known designer in the industry who is hard to find, and she also has a well-known design company under her name.

Seeing Li Zhaozhao standing there looking at her, Mrs. Zhou thought for a moment and took the initiative to say hello to Li Zhaozhao, "Hello, Miss Li."

Li Zhaozhao actually couldn't believe Mrs. Zhou's proactive greeting as if she had never met her before.

But seeing that Mrs. Zhou's expression was as normal as if she were treating an ordinary guest, Li Zhaozhao also responded politely and lightly.

Before Li Zhaozhao came back, he had thought that sooner or later he would meet Mrs. Zhou, but he never thought it would be so sudden and so early. Back then, she took a five million check from Mrs. Zhou. She promised Mrs. Zhou that she would leave Zhou Rui completely and would never see Zhou Rui again.

Now that I think about it, although Zhou Rui took the initiative to find her, she did break her promise.

When Zhou Zhanzhuo saw grandma coming, he happily let go of Li Zhaozhao's hand and ran towards Mrs. Zhou. He hugged Mrs. Zhou's thigh directly, raised his head and called grandma.

Mrs. Zhou was so heartbroken by her grandson's shout that she responded, "Hey, grandma's baby Zhan Cheng, do you miss grandma?"

"I think about it, I think about it every day." Zhou Zhanzhuang has always been a sweet-tongued child, not to mention his grandmother who loves him very much. The words "I think about it every day" made Mrs. Zhou even more excited.

Li Zhaozhao looked at the intimate interaction between Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Zhanzhi in front of him, just like his own ancestors and grandchildren. Li Zhaozhao was absent-minded for a few seconds. This was something beyond her expectation.

I thought that with the Zhou family's family status and Mrs. Zhou's status, treating Zhou Zhan as an adopted son would be superficial at best.

I really didn't expect that Mrs. Zhou would love Zhou Zhan so much for being like Zhou Rui.

Thinking of this, Li Zhaozhao couldn't help but smile mockingly in his heart.

In this world, fate is really a wonderful thing.

When Mrs. Zhou came, Li Zhaozhao consciously felt embarrassed to continue to stay here, so he found an excuse to say goodbye because he suddenly remembered something urgent at work and had to go back to deal with it.

When Zhou Zhanzheng heard this, his little mouth puckered up, "Sister Zhaozhao, when will you finish your work? When you finish your work, can my father and I pick you up at the hotel? We have made an appointment to go to the zoo together in the afternoon."

Zhou Rui knew the reason why Li Zhaozhao wanted to leave, and since his mother was here, he didn't insist on keeping her. "I'll ask the driver to take you back to the hotel. You can deal with work matters first. After lunch, Zhan Cheng and I will go Pick you up at the hotel."

This is a tone that does not allow for discussion, nor is it a tone for discussion.

Mrs. Zhou looked at Zhou Rui's face for a few seconds, then looked at Li Zhaozhao.

"I just have time to go back. Why don't I take Miss Li back to the hotel." Mrs. Zhou suddenly stood up and said, then looked at Zhou Rui, "Your dad is still at home waiting for me to go back and have lunch with him. I will I won’t stay here with you father and son anymore. If you have time, just take Zhan Cheng back to the old house to see us."

After saying this, Mrs. Zhou smiled and said to Li Zhaozhao, "Miss Li, please, I will ask the driver to take you back to the hotel first."

Li Zhaozhao wanted to refuse, but Mrs. Zhou didn't give her a chance to refuse. She walked towards her with a smile on her face, and then walked towards the entrance first while calling the Zhou family's driver who was waiting downstairs. Arrange this matter directly.

"How about I take Zhan Cheng back to my old house to have lunch with my parents at noon. How about mom take Zhan Cheng and me back together?" Zhou Rui waved to Zhou Zhan Cheng.

Zhou Rui subconsciously didn't want his mother to be alone with Li Zhaozhao.

He was a little worried.

"You don't mind that my car is crowded with so many people, but I don't mind it. Aren't you going to take Zhan Cheng to the zoo in the afternoon? Then why don't you go back to your old house for dinner? Isn't it a long detour?" Zhou The lady waved her hand and refused, "If you want to go back, ask your driver to drive your car back, but don't let me squeeze into the same car with you."

In this way, Li Zhaozhao understood it somewhat. Mrs. Zhou deliberately offered to send her off because she had something to say to her alone.

Li Zhaozhao said nothing more, changed his shoes, and left Zhou Rui's home directly with Mrs. Zhou.

The two entered the elevator. Mrs. Zhou pressed the elevator button on the first floor and suddenly said something to Li Zhaozhao, "I haven't seen you in these years, but I didn't expect that you would be very different in just a few years. I listen to my husband. As I said, Zhou has been looking for a rainforest designer for a long time but has not found him. I am quite surprised that it is you."

Li Zhaozhao couldn't figure out why Mrs. Zhou suddenly said these words to her, so he simply listened quietly and didn't answer.

I thought that Mrs. Zhou met her alone to warn her to stay away from Zhou Rui by mentioning the check she had received back then, but the tone of Mrs. Zhou's words just now was too friendly, so Li Zhaozhao actually touched her for a while. It’s unclear what Mrs. Zhou is thinking.

Mrs. Zhou looked at the young girl beside her through the white reflective wall of the elevator, "Actually, it's good for girls to have their own things. It's good for you to do this."

Mrs. Zhou had investigated Li Zhaozhao. She was born in poverty, so she knew even without thinking that her self-made capital should be attributed to the check she gave her that year.

I can't say it's all, but it should be at least part of it.

When Li Zhaozhao took the check, she did not go back to her hometown to buy a house and find an honest man to marry and live an ordinary life as Mrs. Zhou thought. Instead, she used the money as capital to fight for her own future. With this achievement, Mrs. Zhou really admires such a girl.

At least she is not a dodder who lives by clinging to men.

The girl Li Zhaozhao seems gentle and gentle, but she is actually a strong and independent woman.

"Actually, I have always thought that Zhou Rui would have gone to find you all these years ago, but after so many years, he never mentioned you again, and I thought that you and him were over." Mrs. Zhou suddenly sighed with emotion. He said, "I didn't expect that you would reunite in a cooperative way in the end."

Hearing this, Li Zhaozhao thought Mrs. Zhou finally used this euphemistic way to remind her what she should and shouldn't do.

Li Zhaozhao said directly, "Mrs. Zhou, as you said, I am also surprised that Zhou and I will still cooperate, but don't worry, I, Li Zhaozhao, keep my word. Since I accepted your check back then, I agreed If you have nothing to do with Zhou Rui in the future, I will definitely not get entangled with Mr. Zhou again. Cooperation is cooperation, and I will leave after the cooperation is over. I have always kept a clear distinction between public and private matters."

After speaking, Li Zhaozhao turned around and observed Mrs. Zhou Zhou's expression.

I originally thought that Mrs. Zhou would at least show satisfaction with her statement. After all, she was sensible.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhou smiled and shook her head, "Miss Li, you misunderstood. What I'm telling you is just to lament the fate between you and Zhou Rui. I'm not reminding you of anything."

Mrs. Zhou said, "I have lived to this age and have experienced great storms. Over the years, you have changed, and I will also change. What I thought back then may not be what I think now. People are all in the long river of time." You are growing up little by little, and as Zhou Rui's mother, I am no exception."

"I sent it to you specially because I didn't want to stop you and Zhou Rui. On the contrary, I have looked away. As long as Zhou Rui likes it, I will have no objection. Now, as long as Zhou Rui still likes you, even if he Tell me that I want to marry you, and as a mother, I will also bless you."

Mrs. Zhou said, "I have only one request for Zhou Rui's future wife. She must be kind to my grandson Zhou Zhan. You cannot treat Zhou Zhanzhuang lightly just because he is Zhou Rui's adopted son. I will say something upfront to save you some money." The future will be entangled. Even if Zhou Rui gets married in the future and will have his biological children, Zhou Zhanzhuo will always be the young master of the Zhou family. If Zhou Rui has biological children, Zhou Zhanzheng will also have them. Zhou Rui’s biological children have the same rights, can you understand what I mean by these words?”

Mrs. Zhou was just telling Li Zhaozhao that if she and Zhou Rui reconciled in the future, or even got married and had children, Zhou Zhanzhi would also have the right to inherit the Zhou family's inheritance, and would have the same share as Zhou Rui's biological children.

The elevator dinged and the first floor arrived.

Li Zhaozhao was still stunned for a long time and did not come back to his senses.

She waited until Mrs. Zhou looked back at her and urged her before she hurriedly walked out.

"By the way, Miss Li, there is one more thing I think I should tell you. After you accepted the check from me and left, I told Zhou Rui about it." Mrs. Zhou said, "When the two of us were together, The most taboo thing is to hide something between each other and distrust each other. If you really will get back together in the future, then you and Zhou Rui should talk about it."

After saying this, Mrs. Zhou got into the car directly, and then the driver opened the door for Li Zhaozhao and invited her to get in the car.

On the way to the hotel, Li Zhaozhao and Mrs. Zhou never spoke again. They sent Li Zhaozhao to the door of the hotel. Mrs. Zhou said a faint goodbye and asked the driver to drive away.

Li Zhaozhao returned to the hotel, but Zhou Rui called before he returned to the room.

"Have you arrived at the hotel?" Zhou Rui asked.

"Just arrived." Li Zhaozhao glanced at his watch and thought, Zhou Rui just called her?

"Did my mother say anything to you?" Zhou Rui asked a little cautiously.

Li Zhaozhao's hand that pressed the elevator paused slightly. After a second, she said, "I didn't say anything."

Zhou Rui didn't believe Li Zhaozhao's answer, but since Li Zhaozhao didn't intend to say anything, Zhou Rui naturally couldn't ask anything.

"Then you get busy first. Zhan Cheng and I will pick you up at the hotel at 1:30." Zhou Rui asked, "Is this time ok at 1:30?"

This is another round of testing by Zhou Rui.

He wanted to test whether he could still ask Li Zhaozhao out alone after talking to his mother alone. He wanted to use this to judge whether his mother had said anything that made Li Zhaozhao unhappy.

When he heard Li Zhaozhao say it was okay, Zhou Rui breathed a sigh of relief without even realizing it.
