Chapter 245: Worse

After a long while, Zou Er came back to his senses and sighed. “I can only say that fate is predestined. By the way, how did the boss find out? Didn’t we not find out who entered the room that night?”
Of course, Zou Yi didn’t know either. Only after seeing Zou Bai when he was young and looking at Jiang Yi’s face would he be able to recognize him.
The two of them were still talking about what had happened today when Zou Yi saw the door of the house open. The two of them quickly got out of the car and stood beside it.
Zou Bai turned around and stood face to face with Jiang An. “Hurry up and wash up. I’ll send you a message when I get home.”
Jiang An reminded him, “Alright, be careful on the way.”
Zou Bai turned around and got into the car. The two of them waved goodbye.
When Zou Bai returned home, he was surprised to find that Wen Li was still awake.
Wen Li had been waiting until she was about to fall asleep. When she saw Zou Bai, she instantly woke up and waved at him. “Son, come and chat with your mother.”
Zou Bai’s expression remained unchanged as he walked towards the living room. “You’re about to fall asleep. What do you want to talk about?”
Wen Li reached out and grabbed Zou Bai’s arm and pulled him to the sofa. “I can talk about whatever I want. Hurry up and sit down. Who stands and chats!”
Seeing her son sit down obediently, Wen Li continued in satisfaction, “I heard that you went to eat with Jiang An today?”
Zou Bai didn’t deliberately avoid people. He knew that someone would definitely report him, but he didn’t expect it to be so fast. It had only been a few hours. “Mom, the speed at which you obtained this information is comparable to the Surveillance Team.”
The Surveillance Team was the general name of the Zou Clan’s intelligence team.
Wen Li could hear the ridicule in Zou Bai’s tone. She gently pinched Zou Bai’s arm. “I’m talking about serious matters with you. Don’t change the topic here. Did you take the initiative to arrange this meal today, or did Jiang An take the initiative?”
Zou Bai leaned back on the sofa lazily. “Does it matter who took the initiative? We just have to follow the route you want, right?”
When Wen Li heard Zou Bai’s words, her heart skipped a beat. She probed, “Fourth Son, are you still blaming Mom for breaking you up with her?”
Zou Bai turned to look at Wen Li and casually replied, “1 told you, I don’t blame you. Don’t think about this and that all day long.”
Wen Li couldn’t quite grasp Zou Bai’s thoughts. Out of the four children in the family, Zou Bai was the youngest and smartest. His mind was like a sieve, and she couldn’t catch everything that came out at the end of it.
Wen Li said earnestly, “Son, no mother would harm her child. It’s fine if it’s an ordinary family, but she’s really not a person who lives a good life.”
Zou Bai followed the topic and asked, “What about Jiang An?”
Wen Li paused for a moment. “Jiang An is a good child. She was able to rely on her own hard work to grow up in such a family and keep herself clean, and not become evil because she felt that it was unfair. I can tell that she’s a
pure-hearted and tenacious girl. The only regret I have is that she already has children.”
Speaking of this, Wen Li sighed secretly, “Sigh, forget it. How can there be so many perfect things in the world? It’s rare that you like those two children and are willing to get along with them. This is also your fate.”
In the blink of an eye, Zou Bai was already in his thirties. Every time he was asked to go on a blind date, he would stand the girl up. The eldest grandchild of her eldest son was about to reach adulthood, but there was not even a shadow of him at every blind date.
Coupled with the fact that the woman surnamed Chen was eyeing her covetously, Wen Li could not be picky anymore.
She was like an ant on a hot pan. As long as she had a clean family background and was a decent girl, Wen Li would acknowledge her.
Zou Bai rolled his eyes slightly. In less than a second, he was pressed down. “I understand.”
Wen Li came out of her sentimental mood. Seeing that Zou Bai seemed to have listened to her, she finally felt a moment of relief. She asked with concern, “How’s your progress today?”
Zou Bai didn’t plan to reveal anything about the two children for the time being. Otherwise, with his mother’s personality, she would definitely insist on bringing the two children back. Hence, he replied indifferently, “Today, we’ve acknowledged our relationship.”
Wen Li’s eyes lit up as she praised, “This speed is good! As a man, remember to be more proactive. Try to settle your wedding date in two months.”
When Zou Bai heard this, he yawned. “How can I be that fast? Let’s talk about it later.”
Wen Li frowned slightly. “What do you mean by talk later? Don’t try to play with me. Marriage is the tomb of love. If there’s no tomb, love will die without a burial place.. It’s even worse!”
