Chapter 454: Guan Juer’s misunderstanding and learning the truth
The meal didn't end until after eleven o'clock. Finally, Zhou Chen waved goodbye to them and sent Mr. Hong back.
On the way home, Zhou Chen leaned on his seat, closed his eyes and rested, while also thinking about tonight's events.
At the dinner table just now, Hu Zhiyuan was very flattering to him. Although Yang Changjin was not as obvious and exaggerated as Hu Zhiyuan, he was still very friendly.
He knew what these two people meant, and they just wanted to have a good relationship with him.
He did not refuse. In fact, there was no major conflict between him and Hu Tianhua, and there was no conflict of interest.
At the dinner table, several people talked about a lot of things, from the international situation to the domestic situation, from finance to foreign exchange, from economy to education...
Naturally, the most talked about thing was the domestic economy. With three business tycoons and an economist, there was really too much to talk about.
The other two people, Yang Ershao and Hu Tianhua, listened to the conversation of several big guys in a daze. Yang Ershao could understand more or less, but to Hu Tianhua, it felt like he was listening to a book from heaven.
Zhou Chen didn't take what happened today too seriously. It was better to have one more friend than one more enemy. Moreover, through chatting, he found that Yang Changjin and Hu Zhiyuan were indeed capable.
Especially Yang Changjin, the Yang Group he runs is involved in many industries and is doing very well, but it has been engaging in overseas trade in recent years.
From his mouth, Zhou Chen heard a lot of useful information.
After Andy had dinner at Zhou's house, she didn't go home until after ten o'clock. Because there was only one floor, she didn't take the elevator and went straight upstairs.
Fan Shengmei had dinner with her colleagues in the evening and came back very late. She smelled of alcohol. As soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw Andy pushing open the door to the emergency passage and walking over.
"Andy, why did you come up the stairs this late at night?" Fan Shengmei asked with surprise on her face.
Andy didn't expect to meet Fan Shengmei at this time. She clasped her hands together and replied calmly: "Nothing, just throwing away garbage. What about you, why haven't you come back until now? Have you gone out to play with your friends?"
"Yeah?"
Fan Shengmei's eyes were suspicious, but she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she said with a smile: "I'm exhausted from having dinner with my colleagues today. I won't tell you anymore. I'm going back to wash up and go to bed. For women of our age,
Staying up late is a taboo."
"Okay, then I wish you a good sleep."
…………
In the next period of time, Fan Shengmei saw Andy talking and laughing with Zhou Chen's parents several times, which made her wonder when Andy became so familiar with Zhou Chen's parents.
You should know that even Zhou Chen's girlfriend Guan Ju'er, although she lives upstairs and downstairs, she doesn't spend too much time with Zhou Chen's parents.
Reminiscent of the times when she noticed something was wrong with Andy looking at Zhou Chen, which made Fan Shengmei murmur in her heart. Although she thought it was unlikely, it was difficult to suppress the idea once it came up.
So one night, when Qiu Yingying was not at home, she dragged Guan Ju'er to the room.
"Sister Fan, what's wrong with you? You're so mysterious?"
Fan Shengmei asked cautiously: "Guan Guan, let me ask you something. Is your relationship with Zhou Chen okay? Nothing happened?"
Guan Ju'er looked confused: "We have a very good relationship. Sister Fan, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly ask such a strange question? Did you discover something?"
Fan Shengmei hesitated and said: "I did find something very strange recently, but I just don't know whether I should tell you or not."
Hearing the tone of Fan Shengmei's words, Guan Ju suddenly felt something bad in his heart: "Is it related to Zhou Chen?"
"Well, it has something to do with him."
"What's wrong with Zhou Chen? Sister Fan, please tell me quickly."
Guan Ju'er was almost anxious to death when she heard that it was related to Zhou Chen. Although she didn't understand how Fan Shengmei knew about Zhou Chen, now was not the time to dwell on it.
After being with Zhou Chen for such a long time, although she has tried her best to overcome it, she still feels a little inferior in her heart. She devoted herself wholeheartedly to prove that Zhou Chen did not make a mistake in choosing her, and she could not embarrass Zhou Chen.
Fan Shengmei was also struggling. She felt that her idea was a bit crazy, but if she didn't say it out, she would feel sorry for Guan Ju'er.
After struggling for a while, she decided to speak out.
"Guan Guan, I wonder if you have noticed anything wrong with Andy recently?"
Guan Ju'er was confused by Fan Shengmei's escaping question and asked in confusion: "Sister Fan, weren't we talking about Zhou Chen? Why are we talking about Sister Andy again? What's wrong with Sister Andy?
I drive myself to work recently and don't take her car, so I really don't notice anything wrong with her."
Fan Shengmei said: "Guan Guan, I will tell the truth. Don't blame me."
"Sister Fan, why do you feel a little uneasy with your tone?"
Seeing that Fan Shengmei was so cautious, Guan Ju'er had some wild thoughts, and the ominous premonition in his heart became more and more serious.
Fan Shengmei did not hesitate anymore, but told Guan Ju'er everything she had discovered recently.
"Guan Guan, I have seen Andy chatting with Zhou Chen's parents several times recently, and she was very happy. I even saw her sneaking up the stairs to Zhou Chen's parents' home downstairs once."
Guan Ju'er frowned and said, "It shouldn't be a big deal for Sister Andy to chat with her uncle and aunt. Even if she goes to her aunt's house, there might be something going on."
She didn't understand what Fan Shengmei said, but she thought it was not a problem. It was normal for neighbors going up and downstairs to interact with each other.
"Oh, you are still too naive."
Fan Shengmei saw that she had already spoken so clearly, but Guan Ju'er still didn't understand, so she could only speak more clearly.
"I'll tell you the truth, I've noticed something is wrong with Andy recently, especially when he looks at Zhou Chen, his look is very special, not quite like looking at a friend. Do you understand what I mean?"
No matter how dumbfounded Guan Ju'er was, she immediately realized the problem after hearing these words. She looked at Fan Shengmei in disbelief.
"No way, it's impossible. How could Sister Andy treat Zhou Chen..., this is absolutely impossible."
Seeing the shock and disbelief on Guan Ju'er's face, Fan Shengmei could understand it, but she believed that her judgment was correct.
"Guan Guan, nothing in the world is absolute. Zhou Chen is so good that he can easily attract women. Andy is self-proclaimed, smart and beautiful, and ordinary men can't look down on her at all. Even Mr. Wei seems to be aloof from her.
, but Zhou Chen is different from ordinary men, I would not be surprised at all if she takes a liking to Zhou Chen."
"I'm not provoking, but I want to let you know the seriousness of the matter. Although Andy is a few years older than Zhou Chen, people nowadays pay attention to eugenics and eugenics. Children born from two smart people have a greater chance of being smart.
, so age is definitely not a problem.”
Guan Ju'er still couldn't believe this. She stood up suddenly: "No, I'm going to ask Sister Andy, she won't treat me like this."
Although deep down she felt that the possibility of this matter was very low, she already had a low self-esteem when getting along with Zhou Chen. If she compared herself with Andy, except for her age advantage, she had no other advantages at all.
She felt that if she were a man, she would probably choose Andy instead of herself.
Fan Shengmei grabbed her and said anxiously: "How can you go to Andy? I just said that Andy has this possibility, but Zhou Chen may not. I can see that Zhou Chen is very good to you.
, as long as there are no problems on his side, you don’t have to worry so much.”
"But didn't you say that Andy often spends time with Uncle Zhou and Aunt Sun, and even went to their house? I know Zhou Chen, he is a very filial person, and if his parents ask him to, I am really afraid of him...
…”
Before he could finish speaking, Guan Ju'er started to choke. In the final analysis, it was still caused by lack of confidence.
"Can……"
Fan Shengmei secretly regretted it. This was not her intention. She just wanted to keep Guan Ju'er on guard.
Guan Ju'er couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up, opened the door and walked out without even changing her clothes, and went to Andy's house.
"well."
Fan Shengmei sighed heavily. She felt that things had become serious. No matter what the final result was, there would probably be no peace after the 22nd floor.
Let's talk about Guan Ju'er. She stood in front of Andy's door and tried to knock on the door several times, but in the end she failed.
While she was struggling and hesitating, Andy opened the door from the inside.
"Xiaoguan, what's wrong with you? You're standing at the door so late at night, trying to knock but not knocking?"
Guan Ju'er's heart skipped a beat and he said nervously: "Sister Andy, I, I have something to tell you."
"Come in and say love."
Andy didn't think much about it, he just thought Guan Ju'er was a little strange tonight.
After walking to the sofa and sitting down, Andy got a bottle of water for Guan Ju'er and asked with concern: "Xiao Guan, what's wrong with you? Your eyes are red. Did you just cry?"
Guan Juer grabbed the mineral water bottle with both hands, rubbed it nervously a few times, and finally gritted his teeth.
"Sister Andy, do you like Zhou Chen?"
"ah?"
Andy's eyes widened with an incredible expression on her face. She was really dumbfounded by Guan Ju'er's question.
"No, Xiaoguan, why did you suddenly ask such a strange question? I like Zhou Chen. How is it possible? What are you thinking?"
Guan Ju'er: "Isn't it? I've seen it several times. The way you look at Zhou Chen is wrong. And I also saw you with Zhou Chen's parents and went to his house for dinner. Sister Andy
, I know what kind of person you are, if you didn't like Zhou Chen, how could you please his parents."
"This, ha, this is really..."
Andy was a little at a loss. She wanted to find an excuse to excuse her, but when she saw Guan Juer's serious expression, her face slowly turned serious.
"Xiaoguan, I can tell you with certainty that I definitely don't like Zhou Chen in the slightest way between men and women. I just treat him like a younger brother."
Guan Juer looked at Andy steadily, his expression was very clear, do you think I look like a fool?
"Well, well, it seems that if I don't dispel your concerns today, you will definitely not give up."
Andy knew that if he didn't tell the truth, Guan Ju'er would definitely not give up, and it might actually affect his brother's happiness.
"Xiaoguan, I didn't lie. I don't just regard Zhou Chen as a younger brother, because Zhou Chen is my biological brother."
"ah?"
Now it was Guan Juer's turn to widen her eyes. She looked at Andy in shock: "You and Zhou Chen are siblings? Didn't you say you are an orphan? Are you also the child of Uncle Zhou and Aunt Sun?"
Andy shook his head and said: "No, I am not their daughter. Not only am I not, but Zhou Chen is also not their biological son. Zhou Chen and I are biological siblings."
This answer gave Guan Ju'er a huge shock. She said in disbelief: "This, how is this possible? How is it possible that Zhou Chen is not the son of his uncle and aunt?"
"This is a fact. Zhou Chen and I are biological siblings. We grew up together in an orphanage. Later, I was adopted by my adoptive parents. A few years later, Zhou Chen was adopted by Uncle Zhou and his friends. We have been separated for more than 20 years. I
I only found out a few months ago that Zhou Chen is my biological brother."
"The reason why I stayed with Uncle Zhou and Aunt Sun and even went to their house was because I wanted to know more about Zhou Chen. Unexpectedly, you misunderstood me."
"No wonder."
Guan Ju'er is not very good at reading people's faces, but when she looks at Andy, she knows that Andy is not lying.
Only then did she understand that Fan Shengmei said that something was wrong with Andy's eyes when he looked at Zhou Chen. It was not the kind of admiration for someone he liked, but the affection for his younger brother.
Then she thought of a key question: "Does Zhou Chen know?"
Andy said: "Zhou Chen was already sensible when he was adopted, so he knew that he was not Uncle Zhou's biological son, but now he doesn't know about my relationship with him because a lot of things have happened in our family.
If it is made public, it will have a bad impact on him, so I have discussed it with Uncle Zhou, Aunt Sun and others, and we will not recognize Zhou Chen."
After learning about the relationship between Zhou Chen and Andy, Guan Juer's attitude changed 360 degrees.
"Why is this like this? You are obviously siblings. You are so close, but you can't recognize each other. This is too cruel."
Andy said: "The things involved in this are too complicated. I just need to know that he is doing well. He now has parents who love him and a good girlfriend like you. I just need to watch silently from behind."
It's enough to support him."
Guan Juer felt sorry for Andy: "But in this case, sister Andy, you will be in too much pain. This is too unfair to you."
"There is nothing unfair. When I left him alone, I was sorry for him and caused him so much suffering. Now I just want him to be happy."
"Xiaoguan, this matter is very important. I was afraid that you would misunderstand, so I told you the truth. But for Zhou Chen's sake, I hope you keep this secret tightly and don't tell anyone, including Zhou Chen. Okay.
?"
Guan Ju'er said nervously: "But, I'm too stupid. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the secret."
Andy comforted: "You can do it, as long as you think that you are doing this for Zhou Chen's good, you will definitely be able to do it."
Guan Ju'er was stunned for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Okay, for the sake of Zhou Chen and Sister Andy, I will definitely keep the secret."
Andy then showed a smile and said with a smile: "Are you still worried that I will steal your boyfriend now?"
Guan Juer's face turned red instantly, and she said in an embarrassed voice: "Sister Andy."
They are already siblings, so what does she need to worry about? Andy is Zhou Chen's biological sister, and from now on she will also be her sister. This feeling of being closer and closer makes her very happy.
At the same time, she also had a small complaint against Fan Shengmei in her heart. It was because of Fan Shengmei's words that she almost misunderstood Andy.
But then she thought again, Fan Shengmei also had good intentions. If it hadn't been for Fan Shengmei, she wouldn't have known about this relationship.
