TLCBITAR Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Holding an Early Morning Meeting?

After dinner, Pei Yanlie still wanted to take Zhou Zhou away, but Zhou’s older brother found an excuse to stop him.

It wasn’t until Pei Yanlie got into the car and left that Zhou Jin reached out and hooked his younger brother’s neck, dragging him into the villa.

“Hey, hey, hey… what are you doing?” Zhou Zhou was forced to follow his steps, complaining unhappily.

Gu Yuanci tactfully made room for the two brothers, walking upstairs on his own to Zhou Jin’s room on the third floor.

“Sit here!” Zhou Jin pressed his younger brother onto the sofa, arms crossed, looking down at him and questioning, “You want to marry him?”

Zhou Zhou relaxed his body, leaning lazily against the sofa. Upon hearing Zhou Jin’s question, he immediately sat up straight, blushing as he retorted, “Don’t listen to his nonsense!”

Zhou Jin sighed, “I just think it’s too fast. How long have you known each other?”

Zhou Zhou thought about it carefully, “Seems like a month, give or take.”

Zhou Jin asked, “Do you understand Pei Yanlie’s character?”

Zhou Zhou remained silent. He naturally knew Pei Yanlie’s various attributes.

Zhou Jin rubbed his forehead in headache. He originally thought that his younger brother would wake up after suffering at Pei Yanlie’s hands, but it seemed he was wrong.

Not only did his younger brother not wake up, but he had fallen for him.

Zhou Jin sat next to him and asked softly, “Is Pei Yanlie good to you?”

“Pretty good.”

Zhou Jin didn’t quite believe it, “You haven’t been threatened, have you?”

“Could he threaten me?” Zhou Zhou lied through his teeth.

Zhou Zhou changed the subject, “Speaking of which, what’s going on with you and Older Brother Gu? It feels weird. Why don’t you let him move in?”

“Ah, oh, it’s nothing. It’s getting late, go up and wash up first. I’ll take you to see a house tomorrow.” Zhou Jin stood up and quickly walked upstairs.

“Tsk, there’s definitely something fishy going on!” Zhou Zhou curled his lip, muttering a complaint as he watched his back.

…

The next morning, a roar from downstairs woke Zhou Zhou. It sounded a bit familiar. He threw off the blanket, got out of bed, put on his house slippers, walked over, and opened the door.

“Go and get that rebellious son down here!” Zhou Hongwei continued to shout.

“What do you mean, causing trouble at my place so early in the morning!” Zhou Jin looked coldly at the family of three at the villa entrance, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists.

Zhou Nian was originally hiding behind Yang Xueyun, but when she saw a striking, handsome man following behind Zhou Jin, she immediately became uneasy, looking at Zhou Jin with disdain, “I can’t believe you brothers are both homosexuals. How disgusting.”

Gu Yuanci’s eyes turned icy cold as he strode towards her.

Zhou Nian’s whole body shook, and she quickly scurried behind Zhou Hongwei, scolding angrily, “Damn it! Are you even a man?! You’re going to hit someone just because I said one thing!”

Gu Yuanci said coldly, “Your mouth is so foul, you deserve a slap.”

Zhou Hongwei reached out and stopped Gu Yuanci, yelling, “What kind of man bullies a woman!”

Zhou Nian echoed in agreement.

“I don’t care if you’re a woman or a man, anyone who bullies Jin-ge is my enemy!” Gu Yuanci grabbed Zhou Hongwei’s shoulder with one hand and pulled him aside.

Zhou Nian screamed and ran away.

Gu Yuanci frowned and raised his foot to chase after her, but Zhou Jin stopped him.

Zhou Jin said helplessly, “Ignore her.”

Gu Yuanci’s face darkened, “She cursed at you.”

Zhou Jin patted his shoulder, “I’m not that fragile.”

Zhou Hongwei watched the two of them interacting so intimately as if no one else was around, his face as ugly as if he had swallowed a fly.

Yang Xueyun added fuel to the fire, “Husband, Zhou Zhou refuses to help Nian Nian and even embarrassed her in public at the hot spring resort. She’s threatening to kill herself now. You have to help her!”

Zhou Hongwei responded, “I don’t care whether you like men or women. We’ve already severed our father-son relationship.”

“Oh, goodbye, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.” Zhou Jin couldn’t have asked for more, and he took Gu Yuanci’s hand to leave.

Zhou Hongwei was so angry that he was sweating profusely. “Stop! Are you so heartless that you’ll just watch me get angered to death?”

Zhou Zhou quickly walked down the stairs, appearing before everyone, “Holding a meeting so early in the morning?”

“Nian Nian said that you and Pei Yanlie are hooking up, and you still deny it?!” Zhou Hongwei couldn’t suppress his anger when he saw Zhou Zhou, flying into a rage.

Zhou Zhou walked up to Zhou Hongwei, provoking, “Who I hook up with, you care so much? Oh, you do care, after all, your eyes and heart are yearning for me to bring Pei Yanlie to your house and introduce him to you.”

Zhou Hongwei stubbornly said, “You’re my son. Isn’t it natural for you to bring your boyfriend home to show me?”

“Tsk, you’re just blatantly after his money. If he had no money or power, you wouldn’t have this attitude.” Zhou Zhou sneered.

Zhou Hongwei wanted to explode, but he held back, continuing, “President Pei, you’re laughing at us. My son is joking with me.”

Zhou Zhou’s voice turned cold, “Who’s so bored to joke with you?”

“You! Do you have to go against me!” Zhou Hongwei felt like his head was about to crack. He couldn’t bear it any longer, taking off his shoe and throwing it over.

Pei Yanlie’s face darkened. He raised his hand to block the shoe, leaving a shoe print on the sleeve of his expensive suit.

The air instantly froze, and Zhou Hongwei stopped talking.

Pei Yanlie’s forehead veins throbbed, his cold eyes narrowed slightly, and he ruthlessly ordered the bodyguards, “Throw both of them out of the villa area.”

Yang Xueyun’s pale face turned liver-colored, and she was the first to abandon Zhou Hongwei and run out. She hadn’t run far before she was caught by the black-clad bodyguards, “Help! Kidnapping in broad daylight! Who gave you such guts! Let me go…”

“Mom, what are you doing? Let my mom go…”

Zhou Nian jumped out from the flower bed, leaves in her hair, rushing towards the bodyguards. Before she could make a move, she was restrained by the bodyguards.

The two women’s cries rose and fell one after another.

“I’m your dad, and you’re just letting this man treat me like this?!” Zhou Hongwei struggled madly as he was restrained by the bodyguards.

The bodyguards escorted him out of sight. Zhou Zhou looked at the man next to him, reaching out to pat the shoe print on his sleeve, and asked softly, “What are you doing here so early in the morning?”

Pei Yanlie replied hoarsely, “Wanted to see you.”

Zhou Zhou looked away, “Are you that clingy?”

“Go up and change your clothes first, I’ll take you out for breakfast.”

Zhou Zhou hesitated for a moment and said, “My brother is taking me to see a house later.”

Pei Yanlie pursed his lips, glanced at Zhou Jin, and turned his gaze back to Zhou Zhou, “You want to buy a house?”

Zhou Zhou gave an “uh-huh” in a perfunctory manner.

“There’s no need to buy one, I’ll give you one.” Pei Yanlie forcefully took his hand, saying each word clearly.

Zhou Zhou: …

Zhou Jin really wanted to retort, “It’s none of your business if I buy a house for my brother!”
