Chapter 8: The Scheming Money-Worshipping Substitute
After the meal was finished in a weird atmosphere, Zhou's father and wife went for a walk. Before leaving, they asked Zhou Ye to treat Lin Zhi well. Zhou Ye agreed impatiently but left as soon as the other person left. Lin Zhi was standing in the corridor and suddenly heard a sound coming from the balcony on the second floor.

"Ruoyao, look at the way Big Brother acted just now. I spoke up for you, but he turned around and accused me of protecting others. How is this what a fiancé should do?"

"But didn't you bring that woman here?" Li Ruoyao said coldly.

"I brought her here to dispel my parents' suspicions. You see, I have never looked at her. I didn't care. You have always been my favorite. If you didn't want to be with me, I wouldn't have asked that kind of woman to cover for me." Zhou Ye questioned, "Ruoyao, have you decided whether to choose me or your elder brother?"

Li Ruo was immediately annoyed. Although Zhou Ye treated her very well, she was still unwilling to accept it when she thought of Zhou Congli's cold and abstinent face. She said perfunctorily:

"The marriage between the two families is not as simple as you think. If you feel you can't bear it, then don't bother me anymore and go find your girlfriend."

She turned around pretending to be angry, and Zhou Ye quickly hugged her: "Okay, I won't force you, I just love you too much."

Li Ruoyao softened her heart when she saw him like this. He kissed her without stopping her, and she was soon breathless from the kiss: "By the way, how did you deal with that nanny? I don't want to see her again."

"Don't worry, she will never appear in City A again. Be good and concentrate. Let me in."

"No, your brother is still here."

"Yes, it is!"

"Well, let's go back to the room..."

Lin Zhi listened to the noises from upstairs as they left and couldn't help but sigh at how brave the two men were. With so many people around, they still chose to hang out on the open-air balcony. They really weren't afraid of being discovered at all.

However, from what was said just now, we know that the nanny did see it, and seemed to have reminded Mrs. Zhou, but was quickly taken away by Zhou Ye.

And looking at Mrs. Zhou's expression today, she had no doubts at all.

"Linzhi." A voice came from behind her. She turned around with a sudden thought: "President."

Zhou Congli was holding a briefcase. "Why are you here? Where's Zhou Ye?"

Lin Zhi's eyes turned red, and she said in a gentle voice, "Go upstairs..." Seeing that he had changed his clothes and was about to go out, she asked, "Are you going out?"

Zhou Congli nodded. Seeing her red eyes, he thought she was hurt by Zhou Ye's attitude during dinner, so he said, "Don't take Li Ruoyao's words to heart. I apologize to you on her behalf. As for Zhou Ye, I will talk to him later and stop him from bullying you."

"It's okay, I don't care."

Zhou Congli was silent for a moment: "I'll call him and ask him to come down to accompany you."

“No need!” Lin Zhi grabbed him and bit her lower lip: “I, I want to go back.”

The purpose of her coming was to meet him and let him know her identity so that the subsequent plot could continue, and she had nothing to do with Zhou Ye.

Moreover, Zhou Ye just wanted her "girlfriend" to show up to show that she really existed. Once his goal was achieved, he would leave her alone.

Zhou Congli looked at her hand and said, "Then let him take you there." He dialed the phone and it took a while before someone answered, asking Zhou Ye to come down directly.

After a while, Zhou Ye and Li Ruoyao came down from upstairs. Li Ruoyao had changed her clothes, with her long hair draped over the red marks on her neck. She smiled dignifiedly and walked straight to Zhou Congli and sat down. "Aye asked you if you called him for something? By the way, I have something to tell you."

Zhou Congli was unaware of her change: "What's the matter?" Li Ruoyao smiled slightly: "The designer said the wedding dress has been designed. When will you accompany me to try it on?"

Zhou Congli thought about his schedule and said, "I've been busy for the past two weeks. I'll give you an answer after I ask Assistant Zhang about his schedule."

Li Ruoyao's face suddenly turned ugly, but she knew that he would not change his decision, so she had to stop talking. Zhou Ye couldn't bear to see his beloved being ignored like this, so he sat down on the sofa: "It won't take long to try on a wedding dress, big brother, do you need to be so exaggerated? What's wrong with accompanying Ruoyao for a while?"

"You don't know how Ruoyao usually lives by herself. Whose fiancé doesn't accompany his girlfriend? She is all alone. It makes me feel heartbroken just looking at her."

Zhou Congli's expression was calm: "I told you to make arrangements after you check the itinerary."

Zhou Ye: "There are so many employees in the company, let them do the work. You are the president and you can't spare this time? Why not fire all the useless people?"

Zhou Congli's eyes faded: "Everyone in the company has their own responsibilities. Do you think that being a president can just sit there and do nothing? If you have so much free time, why don't you go to the company and work for a few days——"

"Cough, cough, cough." Lin Zhi coughed for a while and covered her mouth embarrassedly: "Sorry, I choked."

Zhou Congli glanced at her and continued, "I have no problem with you being a lazy person, but you have to have something to do, whether it's working in a company or doing something else."

Zhou Ye didn't like this topic very much, and said directly: "Brother, now we are talking about the problem between you and Sister Ruoyao. Are you going to be like this even if you are married? You don't care about anything and leave Ruoyao alone at home. The Zhou family is already very rich. Even if you earn money, you can't make all the money in the world. You might as well spend more time with your girlfriend."

Zhou Congli: "You don't need to worry about me and her. Since you know so much, you should focus more on your girlfriend." He stood up and said, "I have some work to do and I will stay at the company tonight. I will leave first. I will send your girlfriend back later."

It was only then that the two of them discovered that Zhou Congli had changed into a suit.

Li Ruoyao wanted to call him, but Zhou Ye was afraid that he would make a fuss, so he had to hold back.

Zhou Ye said directly: “No thanks!” He was even more unhappy with Zhou Congli now, and relied on his status as his younger brother to turn his face away.

Zhou Congli lowered his voice: "Zhou Ye, do you really want to challenge my patience today?"

Zhou Ye also felt that he couldn't help it anymore, and stood up suddenly: "I just won't send you off. If you like, you can send it off yourself." He dragged Li Ruoyao upstairs and said angrily as he walked, "Let's go. This kind of man who cares about other people's girlfriends but doesn't care about his own fiancée, let's ignore him and watch TV!"

Zhou Congli looked very unhappy. He took a deep breath and looked at Lin Zhi: "I'm sorry. It's because of me that he is so angry with you. Let's go. I'll take you back."

Lin Zhi was a little surprised, but said nothing and followed him.

Soon the black car drove out of the villa and into the night. At a window on the second floor, Zhou Ye hugged Li Ruoyao and said, "Look, he obviously made you angry, but he didn't come to apologize and just left."

Li Ruoyao's face was very gloomy and she pushed him away: "You didn't deliberately send that woman to Zhou Congli, did you?" She looked suspicious.

Zhou Ye's expression was ferocious for a moment, but he quickly recovered and said aggrievedly: "How could that be? I was just too lazy to send her off, and I wanted to spend more time with you. And don't worry, don't you know what kind of person my eldest brother is? Even if a woman stripped naked in front of him, he wouldn't have any thoughts."

Li Ruoyao thought of Zhou Congli's character and her expression became better. She glanced at him and said, "What about you? If it was you, would you have jumped on him a long time ago?"

Zhou Ye hugged her and said, "I won't do that either. I'm not interested in other women except you."
