Oh no! What happen! Why did the parents come over to Zhou Mo’s place so early in the morning? Is this the end of Zhou Mo and Song Anyi? Even before their relationship officially started?
A super long chapter today. Enjoy the read! Things are getting more exciting so I will try to churn out more chapters quickly.
Chapter 23
Think about it. Which mother would be happy to find someone who came to work in the home to climb up her son"s bed?
All of these cold treatment and strangeness, so Anyi guessed that Teacher Zhou is to come and confront them.
She gently answered: "Professor Zhou…. He is washing up."
Song Mother simply went crazy. In the morning as she was about to go out to exercise, Teacher Zhou suddenly picked her up at home. Before she had taken a week of ride from her, so Zhou Family driver know their home location. But who would have thought that people will come to the home, actually because of such thing? She did not believe what the newspaper reports. Anyi has always been serious about work and is very pure in her relationship. "Anyi, how could you….."
Zhou Father raised his hand to stop Song Mother"s questioning. "Mrs Song, do not worry. We will handle it slowly."
Song Anyi got distracted. Mum looked terrible and also terrified. In the end to deal with what? Don"t tell me that the Zhou heir body need to be preserved and she had destroyed Zhou Mo, so we have to sit here for questioning?
"Mr Zhou, I do not quite understand…"
Zhou Father once again raised his hand to interrupt. He pointed to the newspaper on the table. "Miss Song trouble look at the newspaper headlines."
Song Anyi picked up the newspaper on the table. The headline of this newspaper has nothing to do with political and economic news and people"s livelihood news. It only reported celebrity gossip and the sales are exceptionally good.
She saw the headlines - "Mysterious Zhou Mo whom always remain low profile, the antique G.o.d, also bring woman to places like this."
All her questions are immediately answered. Yesterday"s event has been photographed by paparazzi and also been published.
This is a featured newspaper which is jointly owned by the newspaper. First, it praised Zhou Family"s great accomplishments and introduced the mysterious heir of this generation. Together, they were photographed by the paparazzi going in and out of the motel. Coincidently, the paparazzi hiding in the car saw them arriving at the scene.
The article only reported the entering the motel process and emphasis on the discover of both of them in went for less than 15 minutes before hurrying leave. They did not discover the presence of paparazzi at the time. The report did not write about her issues with Xie Wei Shi, otherwise this story would be more exciting.
The heroine in the report is nickname as "long-haired sister" and does not reveal her real ident.i.ty. The point of capturing her photo is when she was sitting sideway or looking down - fortunately, she was in a bad mood, so her head is always down.
Song Anyi put the newspaper back on the table and explained to the Zhou family: "All this is a misunderstanding. Professor Zhou was just kind enough to accompany me to look for someone at the motel. It is not like how the reporter wrote."
Zhou Father"s sharp eyes looked at her. "In the end, you really are together. But what surprised me is that I did not hear that my son had a girlfriend. Instead, I hear the girl say. Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Zhou Uncle, I broke up with my ex-boyfriend. Yesterday, we went to the motel to catch my ex-boyfriend cheating. Professor Zhou was willing to go with me to deal with it. I did not expect to be photographed by the paparazzi. I am really sorry."
Zhou Father rebuke is obvious. No matter the focus is on s.e.x scandal or accuse her of unclear relationship between men and women, Song Anyi must clarify that she is not someone who have multiple relationship!
Zhou Father smile. "Yes, Miss Song is guilty of getting the reputation of Zhou Mo destroyed. He is original controversial, to win the trust of all people in addition to erudite, professional and related certificates but also must have good credit and style. This is the important aspect of the third and even the fourth generation of the Zhou Family whom had always acted in a low-key manner. There have never been any reports of palmtops boarding the newspaper for such a thing resulting in the criticism from outsiders. Miss Song should understand how worried we elders would be."
It is also because of the need to create a good style and image. Only a few years ago, Zhou Mo accepted the invitation of the board of directors of the Art University and agree to serve as visiting professors. Of course, there is also the significance inheritance education.
Song Anyi remain silence.
On the side, Zhou Mother cannot stand the husband"s politeness, she added coldly: "Do you really like Zhou Mo? Not because during the day, after breaking up with her ex-boyfriend and at night got together with a new boyfriend? Miss Song, I thank you for your help these months but I really cannot agree with your att.i.tude towards the relationship."
With this…… Song Anyi, do not know how to clarify. Her heart terribly holds the tears of grievances. She is very serious about the feelings of the matter, so even after dating Xie Wei Shi nearly a year, only went to the stage of holding hand and hugging, even kissing is just superficial. She suddenly found herself really outrageous, such conditions and background of Professor Zhou, where can she casually accessible? Only holding on to the casual reputation……
While waiting for her daughter to clarify, Song Mother could not help but refute. "Teacher Zhou, you really misunderstood. Anyi would not be like this. Even if she and Xie Wei Shi dealings are clear, my own daughter, I am very clear that she is definitely not such a casual girl. As what happen between Professor Zhou and her, there must be misunderstanding…."
Zhou Mother looked at the embarra.s.sed Song Anyi coldly. The shirt is without 2 b.u.t.tons, long hair loose and not to mention those traces on the neck.
"Mrs. Song, young men and women love is normal. It does not matter to us as it is other people. But Zhou Mo is not. He grew up accepting the training of the family elders. For many things, unlike today"s young people whom can openly play, please forgive my son"s protection. I can only say, I am convinced that he will not take the initiative to provoke others, and not even any casual woman would get close!"
Song Mother"s paled. As a mother, listening to other people"s accusations of her daughter, her heart felt like it has been severely cut with a knife. But she cannot say a word.
Song Anyi looked at her mother hurt face. Her heart knotted.
This is the purpose of Zhou Family bringing her mother? In the face of her parents, criticized her fault?
From young, regardless of grade or conduct, she had won numerous awards is to let her mother feel glorious proud daughter. When she will let her mother be wronged?
Enough, from now on, she will stay far away from Zhou Family!
Song Anyi determined to draw a conclusion on this matter. "Thank you for Mrs Zhou"s guidance. I understand your meaning. Last night"s incident is simply due to drunkenness. I am sorry. But also believe me, I absolutely have no slightest exception. The incident with Professor Zhou, it will not happen again."
"You do not have feelings for Zhou Mo?" Zhou Father suddenly asked. He knew his son. If not, she is in his heart, he will not release the indication to anyone, not to mention the occurrence of intimacy!
Song Anyi firmly fisted and nodded firmly. "Do not worry. No."
Zhou Father asked her again: "Last night"s incident?"
"There will not be anymore."
Zhou Mo just walked into the living room and heard Song Anyi a.s.sured everyone. Last night"s everything is just a simple word: "Drunk". Even if they had experienced the pa.s.sion of last night"s joy, she can still firmly tell everyone that she will not put any feelings.
"This is your idea. No wonder you are so anxious to leave."
Zhou Mo just walked into the living room, dressed neatly. Only slightly damp hair indicated that he had just bathed.
"Big brother!" Zhou Yue jumped up. She wanted to say something but stopped because of big brother"s disappointed face.
Zhou Father seeing his son"s expression, indignantly stared. Unexpectedly his son"s cold-looking mask seem to be broken. Now he looks like he had been abandoned, angry and embarra.s.sed.
Although astonished, as a father, this change to his son can be accepted regardless of the final outcome. At least, his son, whom is usually closed, feels the pain of the relationship between men and women.
Zhou Mo stopped next to Song Anyi"s seat.
It seems that he had overthink about the whole thing. He naively thought that as long as he gives her some time, she will be able to adapt to their new relationship. Waiting for him out in the room, perhaps awkward, maybe there will be a rich breakfast waiting for him.
But listening to her clarification declaration as well as the room of witnesses, it also set off his whimsical ridiculous.
Zhou Mo mother took the newspaper got up and hurried to her son. "What are you going to say when you see this? The charity auction is close. What happen this time will not affect other"s perception and trust of the Zhou Family?"
Zhou Mo did not take the newspaper, only looked at it: "These words can ruin me?"
Then, he glanced at the cold looking woman sitting straight: "Miss Song, do you think these words can ruin me?"
Song Anyi"s heart at the moment crushed. She hears the seemingly smooth voice of Zhou Mo hidden undercurrent and cynicism. As if a later of crisp ice, the next second will burst. Even call her name by Anyi is now change back to Miss Song, the tone is super cold.
She grips her hand into a fist, replied dryly: "In my personal opinion, Professor Zhou is one of the top leader. Such scandal will not affect you."
