Chapter 370 His Brother?
When Lin Chen found Zhou Zhou, he saw her standing alone in a corner where no one paid attention to her, isolated from the lively atmosphere around her.
“Zhouzhou, I’ve finally found you.”
Lin Chen happily approached her, only to find that her eyes were red and moist, as if she had just cried, and even the tip of her nose was red.
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes: "Has someone been bullying you?"
When Jiang Zhouzhou saw Lin Chen, she forced a smile and explained softly, "No one bullied me."
Lin Chen didn't believe it: "Then why are you crying? What happened? Don't hide it from me, I'll help you get revenge."
He rolled up his sleeves, making a fighting motion.
Jiang Zhouzhou grabbed his wrist to stop his impulse.
"No one really bullied me, I just thought of some things and suddenly felt a little sad."
After returning the ring to Xiao Dian tonight, they should never cross paths again.
The companionship she received back then is a precious memory for her, but she was too foolish to handle her own emotional issues properly.
Yet everyone was incredibly tolerant of her, forgiving her fickleness, and even a delicate balance emerged among them, maintaining peace with each other.
Although Jiang Zhouzhou is not with anyone, she has gotten used to the current way of getting along.
Essentially, she's like an ostrich.
If you don't think about it, you won't have any worries.
However, Xiao Dian's appearance easily disrupted the balance.
She really didn't want to toy with the boy's most sincere and passionate feelings.
A boy like Xiaodian deserves a girlfriend who is equally sincere and passionate, and who loves him wholeheartedly.
Instead of a fickle, unreliable woman like her.
Lin Chen didn't know what had happened. Seeing Zhouzhou's sad expression, he could only awkwardly comfort her: "Then don't think about these unhappy things. Think about the things that make you happy."
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the hand that was gripping her wrist, and a smile played on her lips.
Hey, Zhouzhou touched him again.
I mustered up the courage to hold her hand, but the next second, she let go.
Lin Chen: "..."
Deadly strike! How could you have been a step too slow?
Jiang Zhouzhou's eyelashes trembled slightly, unaware of the many thoughts running through the man's mind. She tilted her head and looked at Lin Chen.
She asked slowly, "Lin Chen, you know perfectly well that I can't give you any response, so why do you still like me?"
Her voice trailed off, then she continued, "And you know my relationship with Brother Nanfeng and the others isn't exactly clean either..."
If her actions are exposed online, everyone will despise her.
She was simultaneously dangling several men, all of whom were exceptionally outstanding.
Lin Chen's eyelids twitched when he heard Jiang Zhouzhou's words.
Although he didn't have much romantic experience, he knew that when a girl said something like that, she was definitely going to reject him.
Lin Chen quickly declared his loyalty, "No matter what kind of person Zhouzhou is, I will always like you."
“I know I’m not as good as Brother Nanfeng, nor as calm and reliable as Mr. Yin, and I’m not as good-looking as Zhou Xian. Compared to others, I’m always a step behind. Sometimes I wonder, why should someone as incompetent as me compete with others?”
"With people like them who are better than me in every way, why would Zhouzhou choose me?"
"Even I... feel that I am worthless."
Before he met Zhouzhou, he was a spoiled brat who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
Even his own parents disliked him, believing that the Lin family was doomed to fail completely in his generation.
Later, in order to have a place in Zhouzhou's live broadcast room, he began to work hard.
But he wasn't very smart; even if he stayed up all night looking at those complicated contracts and plans, he could only manage to do something mediocre.
"You have far more options than me."
"So I know I can't care, so I can only shamelessly learn those vulgar dances that are not suitable for public performance, hoping to gain a little bit of a place in your heart in this way."
"Of course, I'm not saying this to burden you."
"I just want to stay by your side forever, even if I'm nameless and unknown for the rest of my life, even if you let me be your mistress who can't be seen in public, it's okay."
"Anyway, I just like you."
After finishing speaking in one breath, Lin Chen took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Hearing his shocking words, Jiang Zhouzhou's pupils dilated slightly.
Who on earth trained Lin Chen to be like this?!
Awkwardly averting her gaze, she said, "Let's go back to the main banquet hall first!"
By this time, almost all the guests had arrived.
As the birthday celebrant tonight, Mr. Ji will be making an appearance.
Lin Chen and Jiang Zhouzhou returned to the main hall, where a band with international renown was playing a magnificent piece of music. Laughter and conversation between men and women accompanied the clinking of champagne glasses, creating a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.
Jiang Zhouzhou caught a glimpse of a figure, her gaze lingered for a moment, and then she asked Lin Chen beside her, "Who is that?"
Lin Chen followed her gaze and saw that although the man in the suit had gray hair at his temples, his well-defined features still showed his former handsomeness. In fact, with age, he had gained an elegance that came with the passage of time.
However, his facial features bear a slight resemblance to Zhou Xian's.
Jiang Zhouzhou whispered, "Didn't you say that Zhou Xian's father was in the hospital and wouldn't make it?"
The hospital had already issued a critical condition notice, saying that he wouldn't live more than a month.
But despite the exorbitant medical expenses, he was able to survive.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen knew that Zhou Zhou had misunderstood something. He lowered his voice and coughed, "He is Zhou Xian's older brother."
Ginger porridge: ヽ(?Д?)?
Although the man was well-maintained, he looked to be at least forty years old. Was he Zhou Xian's brother?
Lin Chen felt embarrassed to say anything openly about getting involved in Zhou Xian's family affairs.
He could only explain to Zhouzhou in a low voice: "Zhou Xian's family is quite complicated. His father has married several wives. Zhou Xian is the youngest son, and he seems to be thirty years younger than his eldest brother."
Jiang Zhouzhou: "..."
That's a huge difference!
Perhaps noticing the crickets chirping behind them, the middle-aged man suddenly looked over.
He slightly curved his thin lips and walked directly toward them.
