As Su Chen said this, Zhou Zimo rolled his eyes at him.
“Only you are allowed to admire her purely, and I can’t?”
Zhou Zimo’s tone was filled with protest. After a moment’s thought, he continued, “Don’t overestimate her influence in my heart. I just don’t have too many thoughts…”
“You just don’t have too many thoughts on women. Enough! I know you want to say this!”
Before Zhou Zimo could finish, Su Chen had already interrupted him and said disapprovingly, “When it comes to not having the mood to fall in love, I’m afraid that only people like me have the least amount of energy. You’re in charge of a large company after all. Do you think that I’m worried of you not having the time to fall in love?”
Su Chen exposed Zhou Zimo’s thoughts without hesitation.
“I can still believe a person like Ah Chen, but I won’t believe too much from your mouth, especially a person like you who abandons yourself to a life of pleasures!”
“Then you really think too highly of me. Of course I wouldn’t deprive myself of a life of pleasures. I obviously can’t compare to Qi Lei though, he’s the one who takes in much pleasures.”
Zhou Zimo shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly and sipped his tea leisurely.
“I’m talking about you now. Don’t drag Qi Lei into your problem, I even feel bad for him! You’ve never faced this problem head-on before. Every time I say it, it goes in one ear and out the other. Can’t you be a little more serious?”
At this moment, Su Chen was finally irritated by Zhou Zimo. His tone instantly carried some pressure.
“Alright, I got it. Don’t put pressure on me anymore. I’m going crazy!” Zhou Zimo also erupted.
“You haven’t gone crazy now, have you? It’s fine if you’ve gone crazy, can just find a random woman to stop you, but you aren’t crazy yet, are you? If Ah Chen were here today, you would be despised for a while!” Su Chen said in a bad mood.
“How mean of you guys. I just wanted a little peace and quiet. Don’t tell me that I have to get married before I can live a peaceful life? Who set the rules? Who set the rules that I have to get married to carry on the family line? It’s not like I’m some pig!”
Zhou Zimo could not suppress the anger in his heart. He could not help but put down his cup and roared.
“It really is like that. If you don’t get married, don’t even think about peace. Who asked the Zhou family to have only one precious child, which is you? Even if you don’t think for yourself, you have to think for the family. It’s not easy for them. Just take it that you have to sacrifice yourself to satisfy everyone, who hasn’t gone through that? To tell you the truth, I had the same thoughts back then! But after we got married, I realized that I didn’t feel the same anymore.”
As Su Chen spoke, he placed the cup in his hand down heavily. With a thud, the water in the cup splashed out in all directions. He stood up and his expression did not look too good.
When he heard this, Zhou Zimo was stunned for a moment. He looked at Su Chen with a meaningful gaze.
“Are you trying to say that you’re sure that you’re in love with Ji Zitong?” Zhou Zimo asked.
Su Chen took the hat from the side and put it on his head, “She’s the rightful Mrs. Su. What’s so strange about me falling in love with her? Relationships are hard to predict. When everything is done, you’ll realize that you won’t be able to resist fate. When the time comes, I hope that you won’t reject it and accept it bravely. The current you is too muddle-headed, I have to knock some sense into you!”
“I won’t say more. You can do as you see fit. On Grandpa Zhou’s side, he is really disappointed in you. Before he gets old, haven’t you thought of letting him witness his granddaughter-in-law carry his great-grandson?”
Su Chen glanced at Zhou Zimo and did not say anything else. He strode out of the door.
The sound of the door closing was heard. Zhou Zimo raised his gaze to look at the closed door. His eyes darkened, and his entire body went limp. His ten fingers ran through his black hair. He took a deep breath and leaned back into the sofa behind him—
He was feeling more and more shakened, and the pressure on him was also increasing.
However, could such a thing be achieved, especially if he was forced to?
Would he have needed to wait until today then?
However, he had to admit that in the past two years, all of his brothers had gotten married. Even if he wanted to ask them out for a drink like before, it might not be convenient for them to come out. After all, they were all people with families, although the feelings between the brothers had not faded, but..
At this moment, Zhou Zimo felt even lonelier. He could not help but feel a sense of loneliness in his heart.
After a long pause, he stood up slowly and returned to his desk to continue working.
Now, only by making himself busy could he feel a little relieved. He knew that Su Chen was actually not wrong. It was just that he wanted to follow his heart too much. He did not want to compromise and make do. He also did not want to let his feelings..
…
When Su Chen came out, he naturally did not look too good.
Today, he specially went to visit Old Master Zhou. Of course, Ji Zitong also went with him. When Su Chen went to look for Zhou Zimo, Ji Zitong was waiting in the car. She knew that the two brothers had something to talk about, Ji Zitong knew what to do and stayed in the car.
“What’s wrong? You don’t look good? Didn’t you have a good chat?”
Seeing the man sitting in the driver’s seat with a bad look on his face, Ji Zitong quietly started the car. She shifted her gaze away from the clothes and magazines in front of her and looked at the man.
Su Chen drove the car out of the parking spot swiftly. His thin lips were tightly pursed. He looked very serious and his handsome face was a little tense. One look and one could tell that he was in a bad mood.
“I can’t communicate with him now. It’s better to wait for Ah Chen to get back and have a good talk with him. Otherwise, it won’t be of any use. Sooner or later, I’ll be angered to death by him. I can understand how Grandpa Zhou and the others feel now.”
Su Chen raised his hand to rub his slightly sore forehead and said weakly.
“It’s okay, in fact, for someone like Zhou Zimo, he knows most what he wants. It’s useless to try to reason with him. He probably just doesn’t want to be wronged. He doesn’t even have the courage to face the uncertain life in the future. It was the same for us in the past. It wasn’t easy to take that step, we couldn’t even convince himself.”
Ji Zitong understood and said, “Give him some time to sort it out. He’ll figure it out on his own. Besides, these are things he can’t worry too much about.”
