Chapter 7 This is the Zhou family, don't mess around ...

Old Mrs. Zhou was stunned by Zhou Dingyu's question.

It's not because of anything else, it's just that her eldest grandson is usually a bit unruly and often speaks incoherently.

Hearing his question, her heart was really beating fast.

Until Zhou Dingyu chuckled as if he had succeeded in teasing her, "Grandma, you are still so easy to tease."

The old lady suddenly realized that she was being teased by her eldest grandson.

Then she stroked her chest and scolded , " You little bastard, you scared me to death!"

Zhou Dingyu raised his eyebrows and smiled harmlessly, "But grandma, haven't you always urged me to get married and have children? You said I can marry anyone I want?"

Old Mrs. Zhou was speechless.

Zhou Dingyu once said that he was not in favor of marriage. Although he had reached the right age to get married, the matter of marriage had been delayed, which caused his old lady a lot of worry and concern.

The old lady also prayed in front of Buddha, as long as he could change his mind about not getting married, it didn't matter who the other party was, as long as the incense of the Zhou family's main branch would not be cut off.

But who is Xu Li?

Although the little grandson Zhou Huaian has no interest in Xu Li now, everyone in the circle knows that Xu Li and Zhou Huaian were engaged!

Twenty years ago, Zhou Dingyu was brought back to the Zhou family as the illegitimate son of the eldest wife, which was enough to cause a sensation in the whole of Yucheng.

The Zhou family was caught in the storm for a long time and became a topic of conversation among the people in Yucheng.

Although wealthy families have no shortage of topics to talk about, the Zhou family is not an ordinary wealthy family. It is a large family with an orthodox family name and a century-old heritage.

The old lady was really scared.

If such an unethical anecdote as "the eldest brother married the second brother's fiancée" were to spread, it would probably further damage the Zhou family's century-old reputation!

Thinking of this, the old lady shook her head firmly , " Then add one more, in addition to Xu Li!"

Zhou Dingyu raised his lips slightly and didn't say anything else.

After the old lady finished teaching Zhou Dingyu a lesson, she ignored Luo Ling's presence and looked at Zhou Huaian seriously. She began to present facts and reason, trying to persuade him to change his mind:

"Huaian, have you ever considered that Xu Li is the fiancée that the Zhou family publicly acknowledged in your name!"

"If the Zhou family regrets the engagement, no matter how good the reasons are, it will be criticized and criticized by outsiders at this time when the Xu family is in trouble!"

And this is the real reason why the old lady strongly opposed Zhou Huaian’s breaking off the engagement!

Seeing that Zhou Huaian didn't say anything, the old lady struck while the iron was hot.

"Besides, Xu Li is a girl with good looks, decent manners, and most importantly, very obedient."

"Although the Xu family is now in decline, Xu Li has been brought up in a wealthy family since she was a child. How can she not be better than this wild girl with an illegitimate background!"

The old lady's words were suggestive, and Luo Ling's face instantly turned ugly.

"Grandma!" Zhou Huaian held Luo Ling's hand tightly and finally spoke, "If I am allowed to marry a woman I don't like, I will die."

The old lady choked , " You bastard!"

Zhou Huaian pursed his lips and looked away.

After a long stalemate, seeing that Zhou Huaian refused to back down, the old lady slammed the table in anger:

"If you don't marry Xu girl, then you can no longer recognize me as your grandmother!"

The banquet room fell into silence.

Zhou Dingyu lowered his eyes, a hint of sarcasm flashing across his black pupils.

laugh--

He keeps saying that he likes her and wants her to be his granddaughter-in-law.

He is just doing what he wants.

He quietly left the banquet room under the pretext of going to the bathroom.

--

In the locker room.

Xu Li originally wanted to ask the servant to help her find some clothes for the emergency.

But in a blink of an eye, the servant handed over a Lolita-style dress, a pink and white combination, with an exaggeratedly large bow on the chest.

At first glance, Xu Li knew it was Zhou Yingzhi's style.

Zhou Yingzhi is Zhou Huaian’s biological sister and the fourth child in the Zhou family. She is about the same age as Xu Li, but likes to wear this kind of cute pink clothes.

But thinking of Zhou Yingzhi's not-at-all-lovable personality, Xu Li hesitated and didn't answer it immediately.

"Miss Xu, the old lady said that the fourth young lady is the only one in the Zhou family who is of the same age as you. She asked me to give you the fourth young lady's clothes. This one is new. It was sent by the Zhou family's haute couture design department. You can wear it for now."

As he spoke, the servant had already placed the clothes on the leather stool in the dressing room and left.

By the time Xu Li wanted to refuse, it was obviously too late.

She had no choice but to close the door of the dressing room, take off her long dress stained with red wine, and put on this fluffy short skirt that just covered her knees.

The skirt was put on easily, but when the zipper on the back was halfway closed, it got stuck. The pressure on her chest made Xu Li frown.

It may be that the cup size is not right.

Apparently the dress is too small.

She took a breath and tried to pull it from the top with her backhand, but she couldn't reach the zipper. She had to stop, cleared her throat, and asked tentatively through the door:

"Um, can you come in and help?"

The servant should still be outside.

Sure enough, there was the sound of a door lock turning outside the door. She turned her back, lifted her hair to both sides in front of her, and lowered her head to expose her back.

Politely , " I can't reach the zipper, can you help me zip it up? Thank you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a rustling, cold touch on her back. Xu Li took a deep breath and zipped up her clothes all the way.

She turned back gratefully, ready to thank him again.

But when she saw the tall and straight man in front of her, she was so frightened that she subconsciously opened her mouth to scream!

Zhou Dingyu quickly covered her mouth , " Want to call them all over?"

The scream from Xu Li's mouth was instantly swallowed into her stomach, but due to excessive fright, her breathing was still trembling.

Zhou Dingyu took his hand away. She quickly stepped back, her chest heaving violently, her back against the partition, and asked in a low voice warily:

"You, how did you get in?"

The man raised his eyebrows , " I was just passing by. Didn't you ask me to come in and help?"

Xu Li choked and was a little speechless.

Come to think of it, it was indeed she who asked for someone to come in and help.

But ... she hired that servant!

Forcing herself to calm down, Xu Li said to the man with a red face , "... You can leave now."

But after she said this, the man did not move at all, and even locked the door.

Xu Li was shocked , " What are you doing!"

"I sent the servant away. He won't be back for a while."

Seeing the fear in Xu Li's eyes, Zhou Dingyu smiled and took two steps towards her. His steps were leisurely and his posture was casual, but the sense of oppression was ten times stronger.

In an instant, half of the air was sucked out of the originally spacious locker room, making it seem cramped and suffocating.

Xu Li swallowed, countless thoughts swirling in her head.

After what just happened in the banquet hall, she keenly sensed the Zhou family's fear of Zhou Dingyu.

We also witnessed the aura of Zhou Dingyu when he faced Zhou Huaian, who was able to calmly manipulate power and always have the upper hand.

Thinking back to three days ago when Zhou Dingyu arrogantly said that the stains in his private life could not affect his current position in the Zhou family.

Xu Li became alert, thinking that she seemed to have really underestimated Zhou Dingyu now.

just in case ...

What if he does something to himself here ...

Xu Li's pupils trembled , " Don't come over here!"

The scolding seemed to work, and Zhou Dingyu stopped in front of her.

The man's peach blossom eyes were deep and dark, and his gaze fell on the woman's chest, which was rising and falling rapidly due to excessive nervousness.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the size of her chest is not right, which makes her feel a little wronged. But it also makes the protruding parts look bigger.

Against the backdrop of the bow, the outline appears fuller and more delicate.

Zhou Dingyu's eyes darkened a little and he moved forward again.

The cool and noble sandalwood scent on the man instantly overwhelmed Xu Li, revealing a danger that could not be ignored.

Xu Li straightened her back, not daring to move, and calmly reminded the man , " This is the Zhou family, don't do anything reckless ... "

Just when Xu Li was nervously wondering what Zhou Dingyu was going to do, he stopped.

The man leaned forward, his thin lips moved slightly, and his breath brushed her cheek.

"Ms. Xu, you can consider the suggestion I just made at the dinner table."

Xu Li's throat rolled rapidly, and her big eyes turned upwards, looking at the man who was looking down at her , " What?"

"marry me."
