A few minutes later, the sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard outside the door. One could vaguely hear someone shouting ‘Eldest Young Master’ and then the door was pushed open. Zhou Anguo turned his head and saw Zhou Jingyun had his arms over the waist of a young and beautiful woman as they walked into the room. His actions were incomparably intimate, even his expressionless face had a touch of gentleness. Zhou Anguo understood Zhou Jingyun. He knew that Zhou Jingyun’s personality was cold and unsmiling. Under normal circumstances, he would not show such an expression. Could it be that he was really in a relationship? Zhou Anguo thought about it and felt that it was impossible. He felt that even if Zhou Jingyun was in a relationship, the woman would be the one fawning over him. He would not fawn over a woman, so he was sure that Zhou Jingyun and Jiang Tong were just acting! It was just that Zhou Jingyun’s acting was a little better this time!
“Big Brother, Sister-in-law, why are you guys only here now? Dad was getting anxious from waiting.” Zhou Mingfei took a couple of steps forward. When his back was facing Zhou Anguo, he tried to use his eyes to signal something to Zhou Jingyun and Jiang Tong.
Zhou Anguo glanced at Zhou Mingfei’s back. Although he could not see Zhou Mingfei giving Zhou Jingyun and Jiang Tong a signal, Zhou Mingfei called Jiang Tong ‘Sister-in-law’… he felt that Zhou Mingfei definitely did not do it voluntarily. Zhou Mingfei was very afraid of Zhou Jingyun, so he would not dare to address Zhou Jingyun’s girlfriend as anything other than ‘Sister-in-law’.
Zhou Jingyun hugged Jiang Tong’s waist and walked to the opposite sofa. Then, he said to Zhou Anguo, “Dad, you’re here. Why didn’t you call me in advance?”
Zhou Anguo glanced at Zhou Jingyun, and then his gaze fell on Jiang Tong’s face. Jiang Tong had a faint smile on her face. When she saw Zhou Anguo looking over, her gaze was also very calm. Zhou Anguo only glanced at Jiang Tong first, and then he saw Jiang Tong’s attitude when she looked at him. The calmer Jiang Tong was, the more he felt that everything was arranged by Zhou Jingyun. Being calm was not right! Was this the attitude she had when meeting her boyfriend’s parents? It was too fake!
“Calling you in advance?” Zhou Anguo looked at Zhou Jingyun again, “Calling you in advance to give you sufficient time to find a way to deal with me?” He asked back with an expressionless face.
Zhou Jingyun’s expression froze, and then he smiled. It was the kind of uncaring smile that showed that he would simply leave at any time if they could not have a proper talk. “So you’re saying you’re right to suddenly launch an attack? We had an agreement before. The agreed date is not up yet. Don’t bother me so much.” The date of the agreement was the settlement date for the bet with Shao Ying.
The moment Zhou Jingyun and Zhou Anguo met, there was tension in the air. This was because their relationship was not good to begin with. Zhou Anguo used the excuse of Zhou Jingyun’s mother being seriously ill to lure Zhou Jingyun back to the country. Then, Zhou Anguo forced him to accept a marriage alliance for his family. Although this matter had been over for a long time, Zhou Jingyun and the Zhou family had never really reconciled. He had even refused to answer Zhou Anguo’s calls for a while. Recently, he was able to answer a few calls from Zhou Anguo. However, they sounded as though they were about to start an argument every time he called.
“You can’t even take care of your younger brother, causing such a big incident to happen, and you still blame me for interfering?” Zhou Anguo’s expression instantly turned ugly.
“You’re even blaming me for this kind of matter. You…” Zhou Jingyun frowned and was about to retort. At this moment, Zhou Mingfei hurriedly ran over and interrupted, “Dad, Big Brother, stop fighting. Stop fighting. Why do the both of you fight the moment you meet…”
Zhou Jingyun glanced at Zhou Mingfei and couldn’t be bothered to say anything. He pulled Jiang Tong’s hand and played with it in his palm. He even leaned in Jiang Tong’s direction and introduced her to Zhou Anguo in a very intimate manner. He said, “Dad, let me formally introduce you to my girlfriend, Jiang Tong.” The timing of his words was obviously to anger Zhou Anguo. After he finished speaking, he did not allow Zhou Anguo to react. He then introduced Zhou Anguo to Jiang Tong, “Babe, this is my father. You can call him ‘Uncle’. You can change the way you address him after we get married.” His tone when he spoke to Jiang Tong was obviously different from when he spoke to Zhou Anguo. He was much gentler, and the gaze in his eyes was also much softer. He did not sound angry.
He was even talking about getting married? Zhou Anguo snorted coldly. He felt that Zhou Jingyun and Jiang Tong were fake! They were 100% a fake couple! Zhou Anguo had heard Zhou Jingyun say that he would never marry in his life. Although his family wanted him to marry Shao Ying, he said that he would never marry! That was why a bet was made.
“Nice to meet you, Unce,” Jiang Tong looked at Zhou Anguo and smiled. Zhou Anguo looked at Jiang Tong expressionlessly. Just when the atmosphere was about to become awkward again, Zhou Anguo suddenly nodded to Jiang Tong. Zhou Jingyun didn’t expect this reaction from him. He thought Zhou Anguo would give Jiang Tong a hard time… he didn’t expect him to be so amiable.
