Chapter 383: Chapter 292: Arrival in Beijing (Part 2)

Zhang Guoqing came in and pointed outside, saying, "Dad is having dinner. Let’s talk after they leave."

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded, telling them to wash their faces first and come out since he still needed to check on the children.

After pouring water, Zhang Guoqing, feeling uneasy, reminded, "Be wary of your cousin. That woman is a bit off. She knows you were having a father-daughter talk yet still wanted to come in saying she needed to see the room, but Auntie stopped her."

After tidying up, Zhou Jiao pulled him outside, whispering, "Don’t worry. I know what’s going on. Some things can wait until they leave to be discussed."

Two tables were set in the living room, squeezed together. Zhou Xiaozheng sat with his daughter beside him, responding while continuously picking up food and placing it in Zhou Jiao’s bowl.

Cheng Sijin was used to this kind of scene and found nothing peculiar. However, Lin Aiguo and Li Jianjun looked teasingly at Zhou Xiaozheng as he picked fish bones.

At the dining table, everyone was deliberately avoiding the topic of Mrs. Lin, instead discussing Beijing’s famous landmarks and cheerful things.

Zhou Jiao knew she had to bring up the topic. Others could avoid it, consciously or unconsciously, but she couldn’t let herself be criticized for lack of etiquette. How she felt inside was her business.

In such a short time, she noticed Mr. Lin wasn’t fully present, and her uncle Lin Aiguo frequently glanced at her with an appraising look, while the rest of the Lin Family constantly stole glances at her.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiao pretended not to notice. She thought, "First, eat to your fill before dealing with anything. Since you’re already here, there’s no rush for some things. There’s plenty of time."

As it was about to end, Zhou Jiao smiled warmly, saying, "Grandpa, isn’t Grandma’s health not so good in this winter? See if she is free in a few days; I will visit her."

Mr. Lin perked up, chuckling, saying, "Alright. Your Grandma has been thinking about you for a long time. Good child, wait until her health improves and then visit her. The hospital is not a good place to go."

"I’ll listen to you, Grandpa. See if Grandma can come back in a few days; if it’s too late, Brother Xiao Wu and I will visit her. You too, take care of your health," Zhou Jiao said while looking at the noticeably haggard old man.

Everyone knew what was going on, and the old man probably had figured it out too.

After seeing them off, Lin Lishan took the opportunity to pull Zhou Jiao into the bedroom of the East Wing.

Zhou Jiao sighed inwardly, poured a cup of hot water, and handed it to her.

"Jiao Jiao, your Grandma really frustrates me. Don’t go see her."

After Lin Lishan spoke, she saw her daughter’s puzzled look and patted her own head. She was upset to the point of forgetting that her daughter didn’t know what had happened.

The Gu family’s Gu Changqing has a grandson who got into trouble with a female student at school. Initially, the divorce and remarriage wouldn’t have mattered, but the incident blew up in the newspapers, making it impossible to conceal. Now he has been arrested for hooliganism.

Mrs. Lin used all means to get him out but in the end asked Lin Lishan to consult Zhou Xiaozheng, implying that as long as Zhou Xiaozheng agreed, it would be fine.

Lin Lishan felt that her husband wouldn’t even get involved and refused. Moreover, her mother’s words insinuated that her husband was behind this, so how could she discuss it with her husband?

Hooliganism, what a peculiar crime—misfortune for whoever gets involved!

Zhou Jiao couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "So because of this, the old lady went to the hospital?"
