474 Huo Zhou’s Headache

“Zhou Zhou, do you remember Qin Sizhu?” Sisi reminded him with a smile.

Qin Sizhu?

A small, thin, dirty figure appeared in Huo Zhou’s mind.

That was when he was in university. He had gone on a trip with his classmates to some mountainous areas in Western Sichuan. The people there were simple and honest, and the villagers welcomed them warmly.

However, the people leaving in the backward mountains were really impoverished. After staying in the village for a few days, he met a few very poor children. At that time, they were probably seven or eight years old. They were dressed in rags and carried heavy sweet potatoes to sell.

!!

Huo Zhou was extremely shocked. After all, in his understanding, seven-year-old children in big cities were still acting cute under their mother’s protection.

Therefore, Huo Zhou couldn’t help but have a heart-to-heart talk with them. He found out that while these children’s learning conditions were very simple, they were thirsty for knowledge and their grades were not bad. As such, he immediately had the idea of supporting them to go to university.

He remembered telling them, “Study hard and come to the capital to look for Brother Zhou Zhou in the future.”

He left them enough money. After returning to the capital, he specially organized a charity to support poor children in school.

Later, he was too busy and left it to his subordinates.

Time passed and in the blink of an eye, these children had grown up.

Huo Zhou’s handsome face was filled with surprise, shock, and then accusation.

“You’re Little Sizhu? I didn’t support you to make you my wife. In my eyes, I treat all of you as my children. You’re simply fooling around…”

Huo Zhou’s mother threw down the chopsticks in her hand and Huo Zhou quickly fell silent.

Huo Zhou’s mother said angrily, “You’re 35 and she’s 23. You’re both unmarried. This is the right age. Why are you pushing Sizhu to someone else?”

“Besides, since you’ve taken care of her for the first half of her life, don’t be a quitter. You have to be responsible for the rest of her life.”

Huo Zhou was furious. “Mom, that’s not what you usually say. She’s too young. It’s not appropriate for her to be my wife. It’s more like she’s my daughter.”

Huo Zhou’s mother was so angry that she had nothing to live for.

Sisi patted her mother’s back considerately. “Mom, don’t be anxious. Take your time. Zhou Zhou just won’t change his mind overnight.”

Sisi had lost her mother when she was young. Huo Zhou’s mother doted on her very much so she quickly accepted Huo Zhou’s mother as her own.

Therefore, her words were very considerate of Huo Zhou’s mother.

Huo Zhou stood up and held Sisi’s hand as they walked out. “Sizhu, come with me. I have to teach you a good lesson.”

Huo Zhou pulled Sisi out of the courtyard. Huo Zhou’s mother was afraid that her son would bully Sizhu, so she wanted to stop him. Unexpectedly, Qiao An held her hand and stopped her. “Aunt, calm down. Look.”

Qiao An’s gaze gestured for Huo Zhou’s mother to look at how Huo Zhou held Sisi’s hand; it was natural and without resistance.

Qiao An felt that the two of them still had a chance.

“The situation is not as pessimistic as we deem it to be. At least, Huo Zhou doesn’t hate Sisi.”

Huo Zhou’s mother took out her phone and quickly took a few photos of Zhou Zhou and Sisi.

“This kid still has hope,” Huo Zhou’s mother said excitedly.

Qiao An gave her a bad idea. “Aunt, throw this photo to the media and let them build momentum.”

Huo Zhou’s mother gave Qiao An a thumbs up. “An’an, your idea is amazing. If the media treats them as a couple, Huo Zhou will have to take responsibility.”

When Huo Xiaoran heard about the two women’s schemes against Huo Zhou, he felt cold sweat seep out of his body.

If Zhou Zhou liked Sisi, he would be blessed. However, if Zhou Zhou didn’t like Sisi, their actions were simply roasting him on fire.

Huo Zhou’s mother suddenly looked at Qiao An slyly and teased, “An’an, no wonder my Xiaoran fell for you. Who can compare to you in scheming?”

Qiao An was dumbfounded.

She was a classic example of one who could teach others everything. When it came to herself, she was an idiot.

Huo Xiaoran was very aggrieved. “Aunt, she doesn’t care about me that much. You don’t know how cold she was to me all those years. I was the one who went all out to woo her.”

Huo Zhou’s mother was very shocked. “Aiyo, Xiaoran, so you took the initiative to woo Qiao An?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “I used all the skills I’ve learned in my life to woo my wife. That’s how I finally got her.”

Qiao An pretended to be arrogant. “Then you have to cherish me in the future. Otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain.”

Huo Xiaoran said obsequiously, “Yes, yes, yes. Come, wife, Hubby will peel prawns for you.”

Zhou Zhou’s mother watched them bicker, but her eyes were filled with their gentleness and love. It really made her envious.

“Ouch. Seeing the two of you makes me want to be young again.”

In the courtyard, Huo Zhou and Sisi stood opposite each other. Sisi looked at Huo Zhou adorably and confessed her love. “Zhou Zhou, I don’t mind that you’re older than me. When you’re old, I’ll definitely do my best to take care of you. You don’t even have to hire a nurse. How good is that?”

Huo Zhou patted her head. “Who are you to address me as Zhou Zhou? How rude. Call me Brother in the future.”

“Oh. Okay. Zhou Zhou.” Sisi smiled brightly.

She responded quickly, but she did not change.

Huo Zhou was so angry that he placed his hands on his hips. “Tell me, what do I have to do to make you let me off? Why don’t I send you overseas? You’re still so young and can continue your studies?”

“Zhou Zhou, I’m from Qingbei University’s management school. The school has already sent me to study. After I marry you, I’ll study overseas.”

Huo Zhou was slightly surprised.

Sisi’s excellence made him inexplicably proud and happy.

But he quickly returned to reality and stared. “What if I don’t marry you?”

“No. There’s no one in this world who loves you more than me. Zhou Zhou will definitely marry me.”

Huo Zhou was speechless.

“I really don’t know where you get your confidence from,” he said angrily.

“Sisi, I’ll send someone to apply for a visa for you tomorrow. Go overseas.” Huo Zhou left after saying this.

Sisi shouted behind him, “I’m not going overseas. Unless you marry me first.”

When Huo Zhou returned to the dining room, Huo Xiaoran poured him a glass of wine and handed it to him.

“You can’t get rid of her?”

“She’s like a plaster.” Huo Zhou was furious.

Huo Xiaoran glanced at Qiao An and said with ulterior motives, “I wish I could find a plaster, but I don’t seem to have glue. Why doesn’t she stick to me?”
