Chapter 1154: Chapter 1154 Gentle and Patient Zhou Jihuai
It was the little aunt who gave it to her, and after receiving it, she bought everything she could from the magazine — clothes, shoes, sweaters, and trousers — all back home. There was still a part she couldn’t find anywhere, and she was really fretting about it!
She was just waiting for New Year’s Day to launch her stealthy mission to buy bags. She didn’t tell a soul, so no one would know she went to Su Wen’s store to make her purchase.
“Yeah!” Zhou Yan nodded, “Nini really likes it, little brother, just give her a chance!”
“Alright then.”
Once she had permission, Zhou Nini rushed out, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with excitement, and immediately contacted all her girlfriends to go and support Su Wen’s store by buying bags the next day.
“Is this girl heartless or what?” Zhou Hengxing couldn’t stand it and complained.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jihuai shot a glance over, and Zhou Hengxing instantly became another Zhou Nini, scurrying out the door.
“I’m going tomorrow too.” As Zhou Hengxing left, without Uncle having to watch over her, Xu Xiaoxiao volunteered, “I came back just to support Su Wen’s opening tomorrow.”
“So… you didn’t come back to visit Hengguang?”
“Heh, who cares about him.” Xu Xiaoxiao’s face was full of defiance, and she mocked, “He got what he deserved, I couldn’t care less about seeing him!”
“Can’t you speak properly to your cousin?” Ming Ming, who had just been tensely sitting by the bed, instantly changed his tune now the patient was awake. “I think you’re a playboy, aren’t you?”
He changed his face ruthlessly, just like that.
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Xu Xiaoxiao turned around, “I have an appointment with a friend, I’m leaving first.”
“Which friend?”
“Liu Chun. He heard I was back and called me to hang out at Zhou Hengyang’s factory.”
“But that’s your older cousin…”
Zhou Yan had more to say, but Xu Xiaoxiao had already vanished, leaving him quite frustrated. He turned to his little brother and cooed, “Little brother, look, none of them care about me. The older ones bully me, the younger ones too. I have such a hard time at home, I have no status whatsoever.”
Ji Fang, who was outside, was dumbfounded upon hearing this. Can President Zhou really be this adept at face-changing?
What about integrity? Has it been completely discarded?
If he hadn’t known the brisk-walking President Zhou, he would have had no choice but to believe her tall tales.
“Yes, yes, yes, I’ll help you vent your frustrations.”
Zhou Jihuai, despite being more than a decade younger than Zhou Yan, had a tall and slender build that provided a mountain-like sense of security, and when he coaxed his sister, his practiced ease really made it seem as if he was spoiling someone else’s little girl.
It was obvious he was well used to it.
Zhou Jihuai’s patience with Zhou Yan made Zhou Nini very jealous, once demanding their parents have another brother for her so that in the future she’d have an amazingly doting little brother to pamper and spoil her.
After hearing this, her parents scolded her harshly and said that their uncle’s birth was an accident, not part of their grandparents’ plan.
When word got out, her father’s injuries took a whole month to heal.
Zhou Jihuai knew his sister was putting on an act, yet he humored her patiently, listening to Zhou Yan talk about many things that happened in his absence. His face maintained a mild, smiling expression, but his brows furrowed imperceptibly.
Looking up, he exchanged a glance with his nephew, and they shook their heads in unison.
Finally, when Zhou Jihuai managed to send Zhou Yan on her way, Zhou Hengguang had already washed up, changed into clean clothes, and was ready to be discharged from the hospital.
With the flock of idlers gone, Zhou Jihuai’s expression turned frostier. His personality wasn’t really that pleasant. It was just that he reserved his limited patience and tenderness for his family, giving the impression he was more patient than he was!
Zhou Hengguang was making a fuss about being discharged, and Ji Fang had no choice but to scurry around. In no time at all, everything was ready.
