Quick Wear: Explosive Change! The cannon fodder female supporting role is done with it

Chapter 24: The Scheming Money-Worshipping Substitute
"What do you want to eat tonight?"

Zhou Congli returned to the living room and saw Linzhi putting fruit into the refrigerator, so he hurried forward to help.

Lin Zhi arranged the last few mangoes neatly: "It's all right. President, are you going to get busy? Go ahead, you don't have to keep looking at me, I'm fine by myself."

Zhou Congli hesitated: "Then I'll ask my aunt to cook for you. Tell her what you want to eat. I need to go home and will be back soon."

Lin Zhi nodded: "Okay." Suddenly, she asked, "Are you going to see Miss Li?"

Zhou Congli paused and looked at her. Lin Zhi bit her lip and said in a teasing voice, "I shouldn't have bothered you again, but I ended up living here again. If Miss Li knew..."

Zhou Congli thought of Li Ruoyao and Zhou Ye, and his heart turned cold, but he didn't mention it to her, and said: "It's okay, I will explain it to her."

Lin Zhi nodded obediently: "Okay, then please be careful on the road."

Her soft long hair was draped behind her, and she raised her head and nodded at him obediently, which made people feel soft-hearted just by looking at her.

Zhou Congli's eyes softened: "Well, if you have something to say, send me a message."

After changing clothes, I returned to Zhou’s villa.
-
The Zhou family's home was very lively. Li Ruoyao's parents, Mr. Li and Mrs. Li, and her younger brother Li Kai were all there and were sitting in the living room talking to Zhou's parents.

Everyone was having a good time except Zhou Ye who had a sullen face, as if someone owed him millions. Li Kai ignored him and only glanced at Li Ruoyao from time to time.

As the protagonist of tonight, Li Ruoyao wore a burgundy dress and had an elegant smile, which made her skin look even whiter.

She didn't look at Zhou Ye much and just sat next to Mrs. Zhou.

This caused Mrs. Li to exclaim that she had already become oriented towards her mother-in-law before she even got married, and she laughed jokingly.

Mrs. Zhou held Li Ruoyao in her arms, looking very happy: "I have always hoped that Ruoyao would be my daughter-in-law, and now it has finally come true."

Li Ruoyao was very shy.

When Zhou Congli walked in, everyone was immediately delighted. Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "You are finally back. It's really not nice of you to be working overtime on such an important day."

Mrs. Li said quickly, "Congli is in charge of such a big company, it's normal for him to be busy. Come and sit down and have a rest."

Zhou Congli walked over and sat down on the single sofa. He greeted Mrs. Li and Father Li with a gentle expression: "Uncle and Aunt."

Mrs. Zhou was speechless when she saw that he was not sitting next to Li Ruoyao. Her son was not smart at all. She asked quickly, "Where's the gift? Didn't you buy something for Ruoyao? Where did you put it?"

Zhou Congli didn't say anything, and Mrs. Zhou was suddenly startled. Could it be that he didn't even buy a gift?

She almost couldn't hold back the smile on her face, and turned to the housekeeper and said, "Uncle Liu, I think the kid forgot it in the car, go get it for him." She winked.

Uncle Liu understood instantly: "Okay, ma'am." He hurried to Madam Zhou's room and picked out one, reluctantly pretending that it was bought by Zhou Congli.

The room was full of smart people, and they all realized instantly that Zhou Congli didn't buy anything at all, and Mrs. Zhou was just trying to make up for it. But no one was tactless enough to say it out loud, and the atmosphere became lively again.

Li Ruoyao kept smiling, but she felt so ashamed and angry in her heart that her hands were almost broken.

After a while, Aunt Wang came over and said the meal was ready, so everyone moved to the dining room to eat. At the table, the two families talked about their wedding, such as who to invite, where to hold the wedding, and other trivial matters.

In fact, these arrangements had been made almost entirely long ago, but since the wedding was only a few days away, the two families just had a meal to confirm things.

But Zhou Congli always had a dull expression on his face. Throughout the meal, not only did Li Ruoyao look unhappy, but even Li's parents looked unhappy. They finished their meal in a hurry and went back.

"Follow me into the study!" Mr. Zhou said coldly. Zhou Congli said nothing, followed him upstairs, entered the study, and closed the door.

"Speak for yourself! What do you mean today?" Mr. Zhou looked at him coldly. Ever since Zhou Congli became independent, he had withdrawn from the company. But at this moment, he looked intimidating without even getting angry, and one could still see the side of him that had dominated Dongning in the past.

Zhou Congli said calmly: "I want to cancel this marriage, or replace it with Zhou Ye."

wow-

Things on the table fell to the ground, and Mr. Zhou laughed angrily: "What nonsense are you talking to me? What do you think of this marriage? What do you think of your brother?"

Zhou Congli didn't say anything, as if he had made up his mind.

Mr. Zhou was immediately annoyed: "What on earth do you want to do? This is a marriage between two families, not a joke. You and Li Ruoyao have been engaged for several years, and you didn't back out earlier or later, but you chose to get married on the premise of marriage. Do you want to make enemies with the Li family?"

"Tell me, do you have someone outside?"

"If you have one, keep it outside. I don't care about you, but the wedding must go on."

"Although the Li family is not as good as ours, it is not bad either. If the situation gets out of hand, they will fight to the death with you, and Dongning will at least suffer a loss."

"Did you hear that?!"

Zhou Congli: "...Dad, how do you know that Zhou Ye and Li Ruoyao don't want to?"

Mr. Zhou's furious expression suddenly stopped, and he looked at his eldest son suspiciously: "What do you mean? Isn't Zhou Ye just a little closer to Li Ruoyao? Are you jealous of him? They have been good friends since they were young, you know that."

Zhou Congli thought about what happened in the bridal shop and the strangeness between the two of them, and sighed: "Dad, you handed Dongning over to me without asking Zhou Ye's opinion, but in fact, he is also qualified to enter Dongning."

Mr. Zhou was annoyed: "Your brother is not that kind of person. He only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. He is a parasite. If you ask him to go to work, he will cry in front of you. Besides, Dongning has developed very well in your hands. What's his opinion about him spending money lying down?"

Zhou Congli just looked at him: "This is your opinion, you want Zhou Ye to be a parasite, but this is not necessarily his idea."

Mr. Zhou stared at him. Seeing that his eldest son was not joking, he stopped trying to smooth things over and frowned a little: "What did your brother do? You have to make such a fuss, or is it that he and Li Ruoyao really..."

Zhou Congli remained silent, but his expression said it all.

Mr. Zhou couldn't help but hold his forehead: "Go out, let me think about it!"

If this is true, it would be a huge scandal for the Zhou family.

Zhou Congli said nothing and walked out directly. Mr. Zhou picked up his phone and ordered, "Check what Zhou Ye did!"

The whole villa was very quiet. Zhou Congli had no mood to stay here, so he went downstairs to leave. Suddenly, he heard a sound not far away. He turned around and saw a man and a woman arguing with each other.

Suddenly, they seemed to have discovered him. The two stopped and soon Zhou Ye came over: "Brother?"

Li Ruoyao followed behind him with a perfect smile: "Congli, are you still leaving so late?"

Zhou Congli stared at her, and only then did he realize that her hair was slightly messy, her lipstick was smudged, and the stockings on her legs were torn.

He sneered, it seemed that he had delayed their business.

He said to Zhou Ye: "Come out, I have something to tell you."
