Chapter 243: My Brother’s Hypocrisy Has Been Seen Through (25)
Two cars drove into the garden of the Zou family villa and stopped in front of the hall door. Zou Yan and Shen Ling got out of the first car one after another.
"This is our first collaboration since returning to China, and I'm honored to be here. I'd like to trouble Mr. Zou and Mrs. Zou to entertain you. Jingshu will call someone."
Lin Xianzhi got out of the car behind and said politely with a smile, then asked his son who got out behind him to greet people.
Lin Jingshu looks humble, and the pair of silver-framed glasses he wears make him look more gentle and polite.
Zou Yan looked at the child, listened to Lin Xianzhi's polite words, smiled, and said politely:
"Call me Uncle Zou."
Lin Jingshu nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle Zou, Aunt Zou"
"Hey, okay, come in, don't stand here."
Shen Ling responded gently and invited people to go inside.
At this time, Shen Youan and Zou Xu were eating the small fruits prepared by Liu Yun on the sofa. Afraid that the two children would be hungry, they let them eat some fruits first to fill their stomachs.
Hearing the noise outside the door, Shen Youan knew they were back.
As expected, as soon as Shen Ling entered the living room, she called them over and introduced them with a smile:
"This is Uncle Lin who works with your father."
"Uncle Lin"
Shen Youan nodded and looked at Lin Xianzhi and called out politely.
Zou Xu glanced at Lin Xianzhi, nodded faintly and said:
"Uncle Lin"
"Okay, come and take a seat."
Zou Yan greeted them and spoke.
Several people sat down. Lin Jingshu, who was sitting opposite, had his eyes flashing behind his glasses. His gaze fell on Zou Xu and he said with a smile:
"Hello, my name is Lin Jingshu"
Zou Xu had already noticed his gaze, and without even raising his eyelids, he replied calmly:
"Zou Xu"
Lin Jingshu didn't care about his attitude, and then his eyes fell on Shen Youan and said:
"Hello, my name is Lin Jingshu. What's your brother's name?"
He smiled gently at Shen Youan, as if he had a good impression of Shen Youan.
Shen Youan paused and replied politely:
"Shen Youan"
"okay"
“Let’s eat first”
After Zou Yan greeted the children, he spoke and signaled that they could start eating.
Lin Xianzhi smiled and nodded, very satisfied with his son's proactive behavior. After all, they had just returned to China and needed to establish a good relationship with the Zou family in order to gain a firm foothold.
Occasionally, the sound of Zou Yan and Lin Xianzhi talking could be heard at the dinner table, and Shen Ling would occasionally chime in.
"By the way, your Zou Xu is truly a hidden talent. Before the recent math competition, Jingshu told me he was confident, but then a dark horse emerged."
As Lin Xianzhi was talking, he suddenly thought of today's game, and opened his mouth to praise it.
Zou Yan paused for a moment. After all, he still felt a little guilty about this matter, but he was naturally proud of others praising his child.
"Hahaha, thank you, Mr. Lin. The finals are tomorrow, so it's hard to say anything now. Both kids are good."
Listening to the praise from the other side, Zou Xu showed no emotion and silently put the peeled crab meat into the empty small bowl in front of Shen Youan.
Shen Youan saw it, raised his eyes and smiled at him, saying silently:
"Thank you brother"
Of course, Lin Jingshu saw this action. He lowered his head and chewed slowly to hide his surprise.
Zou Xu's expression softened a little, he nodded, and continued to peel the fruit, occasionally taking a bite himself.
Of course Shen Ling noticed the situation here and wanted to ask Zou Xu not to spoil the child so much and to eat some himself, but because there were guests, she did not say anything.
After dinner, Zou Yan took Lin Xianzhi to his study to drink tea and discuss work matters, while Shen Ling went back to her room.
Three teenagers were sitting on the sofa in the living room. Shen Youan picked up the remote control and turned on a funny variety show, occasionally laughing out loud.
Zou Xu and Lin Jingshu next to him were silent. After a while, Zou Xu noticed a message popped up on his phone.
Lin: Go out and talk? I didn't expect you to be so nice to your stepbrother.
Zou Xu looked at him with his dark eyes and said lightly:
"If you have anything to say, please say it here."
Lin Jingshu listened to his words, and a hint of suspicion flashed in his calm eyes. So, Zou Xu, this brother, is not an outsider? And his consideration just now was not fake?
"Ok?"
Shen Youan heard Zou Xu speak, but didn't hear clearly what he said. He was concentrating on the TV. At the same time, he rubbed his stomach with his hands, and a trace of depression flashed across his face.
If he had known earlier, he would not be greedy. He should not have eaten the peaches on the table after eating. It’s all because the peaches are too delicious!
Zou Xu noticed his hand rubbing his belly and naturally leaned over to ask softly:
"What's wrong? Feeling upset in your stomach?"
Then his eyes fell on the plate, and most of the freshly cut peach on it was gone.
Shen Youan nodded guiltily, because he had just eaten a lot, and Zou Xu had warned him not to eat too much, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable in his stomach. As a result, he couldn't help it!
Seeing this, Zou Xu said nothing. He stood up and went to the cabinet over there, took out some digestive tablets, asked him to take them, and then touched his head and said:
"Be more obedient next time"
"Know it"
Seeing that he didn't blame him, Shen Youan felt happier.
Lin Jingshu looked at this interaction and thought: "? A bit weird?"
After thinking for a long time, an almost impossible idea suddenly flashed through his mind. Lin Jingshu comforted himself that he was probably thinking too much.
"Nothing, there's just a thief who broke into the company, and I want to ask you how you're going to deal with it."
Of course, Lin Jingshu could easily find an excuse to deal with such a petty thief, but he wanted to tease the person behind it, so he asked Zou Xu if he had any ideas.
Zou Xu's eyes darkened a bit as he thought about the people he had recently competed with or offended. He ruled out some of them, but was not sure who they were yet. He said calmly:
"Well, I'll go to the company tomorrow and keep an eye on them first."
"okay"
Lin Jingshu nodded. This was going to be a good show. Zou Xu was a very evil man.
Lin Jingshu and Zou Xu met through the hacker list. At that time, Lin Jingshu was dissatisfied with Zou Xu and challenged him to a fight every few days. Although Zou Xu found him annoying, he felt that it would be a waste not to take the money given by the sucker. Later, Lin Jingshu found that he was indeed no match for Zou Xu, so he finally gave in and became half-friend. Later, by chance, he became Zou Xu's subordinate.
However, Lin Jingshu was also happy about it. After all, who wouldn't be happy to make money? He was rich, but he wouldn't think having too much money was too much. He had to admit that Zou Xu was a genius.
Shen Youan glanced at Lin Jingshu. No wonder he felt that this person looked at Zou Xu strangely just now. It turned out that they knew each other.
"After the competition tomorrow, will you accompany your brother to the company?"
Zou Xu turned his gaze back to Shen Youan and asked gently.
"it is good"
Shen Youan nodded and had no objection.
Lin Jingshu lowered his head and typed a few words on his phone, and finally couldn't help but send it out.
Zou Xu looked down.
Lin: Who are you two?
Lin Jingshu lived abroad and was naturally influenced by the open atmosphere. Of course, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He was just surprised that someone like Zou Xu could actually like his own brother... Well, although they were not biological, it was hard to tell that Zou Xu was gay.
Seeing this, Zou Xu took Shen Youan's hand, interlocked their fingers, and raised his hand slightly to indicate that he was right.
Although Lin Jingshu guessed it, he still felt a little mysterious the moment he knew it. Just then, Lin Xianzhi and the others came down from upstairs. He calmed himself down and said,
"Okay, I'm leaving first. You guys...well, have a happy marriage."
After saying that, without waiting for Zou Xu's answer, he quickly walked towards Lin Xianzhi, said goodbye and left.
