C63

In the luxurious private room of the Renson Hotel.

With a fake smile on his face, Zhou Xing Chen glared coldly at the middle-aged man in front of him.

Xia Zhiyang, just like his name suggested, had outstanding poise, high spirits, a suit and leather shoes, and an extraordinary temperament.

"Nephew Zhou, long time no see. How have you been?" Xia Zhiyang raised his glass and said, "Come, Uncle Xia, let me toast you."

Zhou Xing Chen quickly stood up. Xia Zhiyang was a business tycoon, and was highly respected for daring to accept his respect. Zhou Xing Chen picked up his wine cup and downed it in one gulp. His etiquette was complete.

Xia Zhiyang revealed a satisfied smile.

After three rounds of drinking, Xia Zhiyang kept rambling nonstop. Both of them were well aware of the purpose of this meal, but if Xia Zhiyang hadn't said so, Zhou Xing Chen would have been confused.

When the last dish was served, he finally got down to business.

"Nephew Zhou is a talented young man, his talent surpasses all others." Xia Zhiyang observed Zhou Xingchen's expression and continued, "No wonder my daughter admires him so much."

When he arrived, Zhou Xing Chen's gaze shifted slightly. He lowered his eyelids and smiled modestly, "Uncle Xia, your nephew is already married." "Your daughter loves you wrongly."

Xia Zhiyang had originally wanted to continue fighting Taiji, but he didn't expect Zhou Xing Chen to be so rude to him. With just a few words, he had blocked off the rest of the entanglement, and his face darkened as he bluntly said, "Forgive me, but I'm not too optimistic about nephew Zhou's current marriage."

Without waiting for Zhou Xing Chen to reply, Xia Zhiyang continued, "Madame Zhou did not help your nephew in any way. I heard that your mother was not very satisfied with her either. On the contrary, she was more interested in Qin'er."

Zhou Xing Chen's lips curled up into a smile, "Uncle Xia, what do you mean? You may as well say so. "

"Marry my daughter. I promise you that the Zhou family will receive two-fifths of the shares of the Xia clan."

Two-fifths? Zhou Xing Chen was astounded. It seemed that Xia Zhiyang truly loved his daughter, and did not hesitate to use her family property to force him.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xia Zhiyang kindly said, "If this kind of sincerity from nephew Zhou is still rejected, then I'm afraid that in the future, the Zhou family and the Xia family won't have any chances to cooperate."

Zhou Xing Chen pondered for a moment, a smile on his face.

At this moment, the door to the private room was pushed open. Liang Jia walked in gracefully, exuding a noble aura. She arrived at Zhou Xing Chen's side.

Zhou Xing Chen stretched out his arm and encircled her, then turned to Xia Zhi Yang, "Uncle Xia, what do you mean by this? You should understand."

Xia Zhiyang's face sank, "You brought Liang Jia here?"

Zhou Xing Chen nodded his head. "Uncle Xia, I'll tell you clearly today. I won't divorce Liang Jia, and I definitely won't marry Xia Qin'er. Please find another good husband and don't waste any time on impossible matters."

"Hmph!" Xia Zhiyang angrily slammed the table, standing up. "Zhou Xing Chen, have you decided yet?"

Zhou Xing Chen looked at him, a resolute look in his eyes. "That's how it should be."

"You will definitely regret it." Xia Zhiyang picked up his jacket and walked out of the room.

"There's no need for you to worry." Zhou Xing Chen stood up as well. "Uncle Xia, have a safe trip."

After Xia Zhiyang left, Liang Jia smiled faintly and asked him, "You really don't regret it. Two fifths of the shares, okay?"

Zhou Xing Chen looked at Liang Jia's playful and adorable appearance, and couldn't help but kiss her on the lips. "Giving me all the wealth in the world wouldn't be enough to exchange for a single one of you, would it?"

They walked out of the hotel together.

On the other side, in the hotel's surveillance room, Xia Qin'er's tears fell drop by drop. She had seen everything. Zhou Xing Chen … did he really love Leong Jia that much?

She felt powerless. She wanted to find him, ask him face to face, make things clear, so when they left, she hurried out of the control room and rushed to the front of the hotel to wait.

Seeing Liang Jia and Zhou Xing Chen come out, she felt a stabbing pain in her heart once more.

Xia Qin'er braced herself and walked forward.

Liang Jia stared coldly at Xia Qin'er, who was walking over. She still had the appearance of a cute little woman, but her eyes were slightly swollen and red. Her bright eyes seemed to have a few bloodstains.

Zhou Xing Chen subconsciously protected Liang Jia, saying coldly, "Uncle Xia's carriage is in front." His meaning was to chase her away.

Who knew that Xia Qin'er would not even look at him? Instead, she stared straight at Zhou Weiqing and said: "I'm looking for you."

Zhou Xing Chen's frown deepened as he said, "I'm sorry, but I still have matters to attend to."

As she spoke, Xia Qin'er was about to leave. Anxious, she turned around and grabbed onto Zhou Xing Chen's sleeve. "Let me finish."

Liang Jia was speechless, and Zhou Xing Chen was also shocked by her sudden action. Quickly covering Liang Jia behind him, he shouted harshly, "What is your purpose for coming so close to me time and time again?"

"Purpose?" Tears welled up in Xia Qin'er's eyes as she shook her head. "I don't, I don't."

Then he raised his head, his face covered in tears, "I just, really love you, I want to be with you, that's all."

Liang Jia felt her heart clogged up. Confess in front of her husband? What was this?

Before Zhou Xing Chen could say anything, Liang Jia stepped forward and grabbed onto Xia Qin'er's hand. "Miss Xia, good dogs don't block our way. You're blocking our way now."

Zhou Xing Chen was shocked. Liang Jia actually said such rude words? Was she provoked by Xia Qin'er?

In the blink of an eye, Xia Qin'er turned to look at Liang Jia. It was all because of this woman. If she hadn't interfered, she would have already married Zhou Xing Chen.

Zhou Xing Chen grabbed her wrist. Xia Qin'er looked up in shock, and when she saw Zhou Xing Chen's gloomy face, she realized she had lost control of herself and lost all her strength.

Zhou Xing Chen shook her off and left with Liang Jia in her arms.

Upon returning home, Zhou Xing Chen seemed to be in a very good mood. A faint smile could be seen on his face, and his gaze would occasionally drift towards Liang Jia.

"What's wrong?" Liang Jia was scared witless by his gaze and took the initiative to ask a question.

"Nothing," Zhou Xing Chen said happily. "Just now, you seemed a little out of the ordinary."

"Nope." Liang Jia denied.

Zhou Xing Chen walked over and placed both hands on her shoulders, pressing his forehead against hers. With a hint of a smile, he asked, "Speak, are you jealous?"

"Liang Jia's cheeks were flushed red. Are you jealous?" "No." She didn't want to answer that.

Zhou Xing Chen pushed her all the way to the corner. Liang Jia leaned her back against the cold, hard wall, Zhou Xing Chen's warm body in front of her, flanked by his powerful arms.

"Are you jealous? "Hmm?" He looked at the awkward kitten in his arms with a funny expression. He lifted her chin with one hand and lowered his head to kiss it. No matter what she wanted to say, whether she was or was not, he had swallowed it all.
