After hanging up the phone, Zhou Manzhen was also woken up by Jin Beiseng. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and blurrily sat up from the bed.
"Northson, are you going to work?" Zhou Manzhen guessed that since his family was busy working every day, if they didn't go to work yesterday, they definitely wouldn't be able to escape today.
"Mhm, you should sleep more. I'll go first. There's a shareholders' meeting at the company this morning." Jin Beiseng quickly took off his pajamas, picked up his shirt and buttoned it.
Zhou Man turned his head to the side, smiling as he looked at the disordered Jin Beisan, and said in a gentle tone, "I'll help you."
Her slender fingers took the tie from the side and helped him tie it carefully. Then, she tidied up his suit jacket and said with relief, "Okay, that's enough."
After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Jin Beiseng came out of the bathroom.
Jin Beisen lowered his head, leaned over and kissed her forehead, a trace of a faint smile appeared on his heroic face, "I'm leaving."
"Okay, remember to eat breakfast later." Zhou Manzhen followed Jin Beisen out of the bedroom, and the moment they opened the door, they could smell a hot fragrance coming from the living room.
Zhao Lizi got up at six this morning to bake bread. She had forgotten to ask Jin what he liked to eat the night before, as she had made sandwiches, fried rice with eggs, dumplings, and so on. They were all Zhou Manzhen's favorite dishes.
"Good morning, aunt and uncle." Seeing Zhao Lizi busy in the kitchen, and Zhou Tinghao sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, Jin greeted them with a smile.
"Northson, are you going to the company so early?" Zhao Lizi saw that Jin Beiseng was dressed neatly while her daughter was still wearing her pajamas. With one glance, he could tell that Jin Beiseng was going to work.
"Yeah, the company has an early morning meeting." Jin Beisen said with a modest smile.
"Let's go after breakfast." Zhao Lizi hurriedly said as she brought out a plate of new steamed buns from the kitchen.
"No, Auntie, it's too late for me. Give me a sandwich." Jin Beisan noticed the sandwich with sharp eyes and said with a smile.
Zhou Manzhen walked into the kitchen, took out a hot sandwich and some milk, and stuffed them into Jin Beiseng's hands. With a caring look in his eyes, he warned, "Beisan, breakfast is a must."
"Un, take care of yourself. You should also eat something. If you are tired, go back to sleep. Call me when you wake up." Jin Beisen stretched out his hand to pat Zhou Manzhen's shoulder and said patiently.
Zhou Manzhen nodded, "Yes."
She walked him to the door, looking at his back as he left, feeling full of love.
Lowering her head, the woman's rosy face flashed with a smile that came from the bottom of her heart. Her long fingers caressed her stomach. "Oh baby, Daddy went to work."
"Silly girl, what are you standing at the door for? Come in for breakfast. " Zhao Lizi shouted from the room.
Zhou Manzhu slowly walked back into the living room and sat down at the dining table. She turned her head and looked at the newspaper in Zhou Tinghao's hands. She smiled and said, "Dad, is there any news in the newspaper?"
"JS International's stock this month is firmly at the top. This is already the 10th time this year that it is firmly at the top of the list." Zhou Tinghao put down the newspaper in his hand. When he thought of how the owner of JS International was his own son-in-law, he felt a little proud of himself.
Zhou Manzhen didn't really care about Jin Beiseng's company. She didn't know much about the shopping mall, but it really wasn't easy for her to stay at the top of the list for ten months straight!
"That's right, Northson is really strong." Zhou Man picked up the chopsticks and picked up a steamed bun, dipped it in vinegar and ate it.
"Xiaochun, after you marry Bei Sen, you can't have a child's temper anymore, you know?" "Northson is a big man, and taking over the company is tiring. Although dad's company isn't as big as JS International, but dad feels it's hard too. You have to be more understanding of your husband, understand?" Seeing the calm expression on his daughter's face, Zhou Tinghao spoke sincerely and earnestly.
"Dad, don't worry. We're on good terms." Zhou Manzhen squinted his eyes and laughed.
Zhao Li walked over with a cup of hot milk. She placed it in front of Zhou Manzhen and said, "Xiaochun, drink some milk. Pregnant people need more nutrition."
"Thank you, Mom."
"Silly child, what are you thanking me for? Since you are getting married next week, you should stay at home for the next few days. I think after you get married, you won't have much chance to go home. " Zhao Lizi also sat down, looking at Zhou Manzhen with a serious face. There was even a hint of sadness in her words.
Although Zhao Lizi had been hoping for her daughter to find a good family to marry off, she didn't expect this day to come so soon. Zhou Manzhu had only returned to the country for a few months, yet she was already married off.
"Okay, Mom." Zhou Manzhen raised her red lips. Her bright eyes flashed as tears welled up in them.
"Silly child, what are you crying for? Hurry up and eat breakfast. Later, mom will accompany you to buy some things. " When Zhao Lizi thought of her daughter's wedding next week, she panicked a bit. She still hadn't arranged for her daughter's dowry yet! She had to move quickly.
"Mom, how about this afternoon? I have something to do in the morning. "
"Sure."
After breakfast, Zhou Man returned to his room and took out his phone to call Yu Chen.
A deep, magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone. It was a voice that trembled with surprise that he hadn't heard for a long time. "Xiaochun, is something the matter?"
"I have something to tell you. When are you free?"
"Any time is fine with me." Yu Chen said in a gentle voice.
"I'll see you later at the Sweet-Cat Cafe."
"Okay, around nine, okay?"
"Right."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Weiqing took out a warm set of clothes from the wardrobe and put them on. There was still some time before the appointed time with Yu Chen, so she continued to pack her things.
Opening the drawer under the desk, Zhou Weiqing took out a stack of letters from the drawer. This was the letter she had written since she was young, including Zhao Tianyu, from Lin Xingyan.
When they were in elementary school, Zhou Manzhen and Lin Xingyan had always liked to exchange letters. The two of them wrote to each other almost every day, telling each other the feelings of a young girl. Although the letters were not long, sometimes just the length of a Post-it note, one could see how good their relationship was.
After high school, Zhao Tianyu wrote a few love letters to Zhou Manquan, and Zhou Manquan still kept them. The blue Eiffel Tower envelopes were all letters that Zhao Tianyu had written to her.
Looking at the letters, Zhou Manzhen was lost in thought. These letters were from her childhood past, and they contained the joy, anger, and sorrow of the past. The two people that were most important to her were no longer by her side.
Zhou Manzhen squatted down and took out a large iron box from the cabinet. On the box hung a small, exquisite lock that Zhou Manzhen had bought in a boutique in high school.
