Chapter 137 Moving Directly
Zhou Ziyang had just raised his hand when Xia Wei grabbed it and put it back down.

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Zhou Ziyang couldn't help but chuckle. He patted her legs twice and said, "You girls are all the same. Back then, I was chasing after you and begging you, but you wouldn't agree. Now that I have a girlfriend, you're throwing yourself at me. I really don't know what you're thinking."

Xia Wei felt wronged after hearing this. She said, "It wasn't me who rejected you back then. It was all my mother's idea."

Zhou Ziyang smiled, but just kept touching his leg and didn't say anything more.

Xia Wei genuinely felt wronged, but Zhou Ziyang said that no matter how wronged she felt, it was useless.

When it's over, it's over.

When the car entered the residential compound, Xu Qing sent a text message to Xia Wei, asking where she was.

"Should I come pick you up?"

Xia Wei said she had arrived downstairs.

"Zhou Ziyang brought me here."

The message had barely been sent when Zhou Ziyang's Panamera had already pulled up to the entrance of the apartment building.

Xu Qing was waiting at the entrance of the apartment building, wearing a white turtleneck sweater. To be honest, Xu Qing was quite surprised to see Zhou Ziyang's Panamera. She didn't expect Zhou Ziyang to bring Xia Wei over, let alone that he would drive a million-dollar luxury car around town.

After the car stopped, Zhou Ziyang got out with Xia Wei.

Zhou Ziyang greeted Xu Qing, saying, "Hello, Aunt Xu."

Xu Qing looked at Zhou Ziyang's expression, but saw that Zhou Ziyang's expression was indifferent, as if he did not have much emotion. Xu Qing was very puzzled and said, "Oh, Ziyang, we meet again."

"Ah."

Xu Qing said, "I heard from Weiwei that you bought a lot of things for your mother?"

"No, I just bought some gold. Otherwise, I could show it to you."

As Zhou Ziyang was about to take it out of the car to show Xu Qing, Xu Qing naturally waved her hand and said no need.

However, Zhou Ziyang took out all the boxes and opened them for Xu Qing to see.

Xu Qing initially said she didn't need it, but after seeing the gold, her eyes clearly changed.

Gold does have a certain allure for women.

This is especially true for older women.

"So big?"

Xu Qing's eyes were filled with surprise. She reached out and took the box from Zhou Ziyang, asking, "This gold bracelet must weigh at least thirty grams, right?"

Zhou Ziyang said it was thirty-nine grams.

"I bought three in total."

Xu Qing found this amusing and said, "Your mother has two hands and three gold bracelets. Can she even wear them all?"

Zhou Ziyang said, "Aunt Xu, how about I give you one?"

Xu Qing looked up abruptly, somewhat surprised.

"I was just joking with you, Aunt Xu, why did you take it seriously?" Zhou Ziyang said with a smile.

Xu Qing's face was quite a sight at this moment. She said, "Auntie knows you're joking with me."

Zhou Ziyang said, "If anyone's going to deliver something, it's not my turn."

"It should have been my dad who gave it to me."

Xu Qing scoffed at this, "Ziyang, stop mocking me. Given my relationship with your dad, he would never give me one. But if you really can't wear them all, you can give one to Weiwei."

As Xu Qing spoke, she pushed the gold bracelet in her hand into Xia Wei's arms.

However, before Xia Wei could even take it, Zhou Ziyang had already put the gold bracelet back, laughing and saying, "Just kidding. Of the three bracelets, two are definitely for my mom, and one is for my girlfriend. It's a pity. If it weren't for Aunt Xu's interference, Weiwei would have been my girlfriend by now."

After saying this, Xu Qing became even more annoyed.

But Zhou Ziyang didn't care about her. He just smiled and said, "Okay, Auntie, I've delivered Weiwei safely. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Every time Xu Qing saw Zhou Ziyang, she had a bad expression on her face. But Zhou Ziyang was always polite, so Xu Qing had no choice but to be polite in return and say, "Okay, be careful on the road."

Then, after Zhou Ziyang left, Xia Wei couldn't help but throw a tantrum again.

Looking at her mother with resentment, she asked, "Do you regret it? If you hadn't stopped us back then, maybe we would have been together."

Xu Qing said speechlessly, "You actually believe what he said? He's just trying to sow discord between my daughter and me!"

"Why shouldn't I believe it? At the very least, Zhou Ziyang had feelings for me back then."

Faced with Xia Wei's questioning, Xu Qing could only express his helplessness and help Xia Wei carry her luggage into the apartment building.

Xia Wei is rarely home for two days, so she'll probably cause quite a commotion.

As for Zhou Ziyang, after sending everyone home, he was finally able to go home himself.

During his summer vacation, Zhou Ziyang spent 800,000 yuan to buy a two-story duplex in his hometown. Since it was a second-hand house, he saved on renovations.

However, two months have passed, and the place has already been cleaned up and even new furniture has been bought, but my mother still hasn't moved in.

When Zhou Ziyang spoke to his mother on the phone at school, he told her to just move in with him.

"Anyway, it's close to your work hours."

Zhou's mother said, "Why would I live in such a big house by myself? You can stay in that house after you get married."

"I'll definitely have somewhere else to live when I get married, it would be a waste if you didn't stay."

I talked to my mother about it several times, but she still lives in that old, run-down neighborhood.

Helpless, Zhou Ziyang had no choice but to drive the Panamera into that neighborhood again.

At this time, my old neighbor, Aunt Sun, was still hanging clothes out to dry outside.

Two months ago, she watched as a black BMW pulled up in front of her house.

Two months later, she saw a silver-gray car that looked quite nice, somewhat like a sports car on TV, but Aunt Sun didn't remember the logo.

He paused for a moment when he saw Zhou Ziyang getting out of the car: "Zhou Ziyang?"

"Aunt Sun, we meet again?" Zhou Ziyang smiled at Aunt Sun.

Aunt Sun was very surprised: "Why did you change your car?!"

Zhou Ziyang said, "It's my dad's car, I'm just driving it for fun."

"Wow, your dad has so many cars, no wonder he's an official!" Aunt Sun agreed wholeheartedly.

Zhou Ziyang nodded and said, "Yes, he not only has a lot of cars, but also a lot of money."

As he spoke, Zhou Ziyang began carrying his large and small bags.

Aunt Sun didn't recognize the other brands, but she recognized the packaging of Lao Feng Xiang.

"Hey, Ziyang, why are you carrying so much stuff? Isn't Lao Feng Xiang gold?"

Zhou Ziyang smiled and said, "Yes, it's rare for me to come back from Nanjing, so I brought some gifts for my mother."

"Your mother is so lucky to have a son like you!"

Zhou Ziyang said with a smile, "You can't say that. Xiaomei is quite sensible too."

"What does she know? She didn't do well on the monthly exam again! By the way, Ziyang, aren't you from Jinling University? When do you have time to tutor your sister?"

Zhou Ziyang said, "Let's talk about it when we have time."

After exchanging a few polite words with his neighbor, Zhou Ziyang returned home.

Alas, perhaps it's true that once you've seen the ocean, other waters seem insignificant, and once you've seen the clouds of Wushan, other clouds seem pale in comparison. Having lived in this dilapidated little home for over a decade, he never felt it was particularly run-down. But after a trip to the big city, Zhou Ziyang found himself completely out of place.

Zhou Ziyang didn't tell his mother when he came back, and then he found that his mother wasn't home.

It was still the National Day holiday, and Zhou Ziyang's mother wasn't as busy as Zhou Guowei. Someone like Zhou Ziyang's mother was practically a marginal figure at work; nobody really cared. She received her salary regularly each month, and even if she sometimes missed work, nobody would notice.

During the holidays, my mother mostly plays cards at her colleagues' homes.

Zhou Ziyang made a phone call to his mother.

"came back!?"

The mother was happy to receive Zhou Ziyang's call, but also a little angry. She said, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"

Zhou Ziyang said, "Isn't it a little too late for me to tell you now?"

"How can it not be late! I'm playing cards right now."

Zhou Ziyang said, "I didn't interrupt your card game, did I?"

"Why don't you just keep playing?"

"Bullshit, you stay home and wait, I'm coming back right away!"

Zhou's mother was in a great hurry; she stopped playing mahjong and ran home immediately.

This really caused trouble for her mahjong partner, who said, "Hey, we were playing so well, why did you leave?"
But no matter what Zhou's mother said, she refused to hit him anymore.

"My son is home! I'm going to see him!"

About ten minutes later, the mother returned home and saw Zhou Ziyang sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.

To be honest, Zhou Ziyang was no longer a part of this family at this point.

The mother must be happy to see her son.

Zhou Ziyang, however, said with great dissatisfaction, "I told you to move over, but you wouldn't listen. I really don't understand what's so good about this place. It's not even convenient to go upstairs."

Seeing her son's adult demeanor, Zhou's mother suddenly laughed and said, "I'm used to being here all by myself."

"You suddenly want me to move there, but I don't know many people there."

"I remember several of your colleagues live in that neighborhood, don't they?"

"I don't get along with them."

Zhou Ziyang sighed and said, "The county town is only so big. You'll get used to it after living here for a while."

I bought you a gift.

Actually, Zhou's mother saw everything on the table, but she assumed that Zhou Ziyang had bought her some health products or something, and couldn't help but ask what he had bought again.
"Things in big cities are expensive and of poor quality. We have everything here at home, so why waste money?"

"Did your dad give you money again? If your dad gives you money, just save it and don't give it to me to spend. I'm an old woman, what do I need money for?"

As she spoke, she went to open the packages to see what Zhou Ziyang had bought.

When I opened it, I was stunned.

"A gold bracelet?"

"Your dad gave you so much money!?" At this moment, Zhou Ziyang's mother also had a look of joy on her face.

Zhou Ziyang said, "What do you mean 'my dad'? I earned all this money myself. And these clothes, take a look and see if they fit. If they don't, I'll take them and return them when I leave."

"Don't stay here tonight, move to another place. There's nothing to miss here."

My mother is used to being nostalgic, and if I asked her to move, she probably wouldn't be able to move even after she graduates.

Zhou Ziyang made the decision directly. He first called Li Dongfeng to ask what he was doing at home.
"Brother, I just finished packing."

Zhou Ziyang asked him if he was tired.

"What's tiring, bro? Is something wrong?"

"Could you lend me a van? I need to move."

"Brother, you're moving? No problem, I'll be right there!"

Li Dongfeng was always available whenever needed, and even Li Caiyu, who was standing nearby, said she would go and help after learning that Zhou Ziyang was moving.

Li Dongfeng called two more friends, and then borrowed a small truck from somewhere. In half an hour, they arrived at Zhou Ziyang's doorstep.

Zhou Ziyang's mother initially thought her son was joking.

Who would have thought my son would be so efficient?

Even Aunt Sun, who was still downstairs, was puzzled when she saw the suddenly appearing small truck and the three young men who got out of it.

What's wrong with me today?

Li Dongfeng, along with his sister and two friends, arrived at Zhou Ziyang's house.

He first called Zhou Ziyang "brother".

Then, very politely, he called Zhou's mother "Auntie".

Zhou's mother nodded, assuming these were all her son's friends, and was about to greet them.

Zhou Ziyang said, "If you see anything you need to move, just tell them. If you don't need to move a lot of things, then don't move them."

"Caiyu, you help my mom pack. Dongfeng, come with me to the street. I still have a lot of appliances that haven't been installed yet."

"okay."

Zhou's mother still felt like she was dreaming. As she watched her son about to leave, she couldn't help but call out, "No, Ziyang."

"Ok?"

Zhou Ziyang turned around.

But then I saw an incredible joy and relief on my mother's face. She said, "Are we really moving?"

Zhou Ziyang nodded: "Now that everyone's here, how can we not move?"

Actually, there's not much to move from this house; it's just a few personal belongings that need to be packed.

Zhou Ziyang went to the street to get all the home appliances and had them delivered to him.

When they returned, they found that the tidying up was almost done.

My mother was already standing at the door chatting with Aunt Sun.

Aunt Sun gave Zhou's mother a thumbs up and said, "Sister Juan, your son is really successful. You're really going to enjoy a good life now."

Clearly, the mother's face was beaming with pride as she said, "He's never let me ask him anything since he was little!"

Zhou Ziyang arrived home at noon and then spent the afternoon busy with moving.

As for Xu Qing, she will definitely tell Zhou Guowei when Zhou Ziyang goes home.

Upon hearing that his only son was coming back, Zhou Guowei simply gave up working overtime and drove over in his own car.

I thought my son would definitely be home at this time.

Before the car was even parked, his ex-wife was directing two young people to carry over a wardrobe.

Zhou Guowei couldn't help but be curious. He frowned and got out of the car, wanting to ask his ex-wife what was going on.

But after taking only two steps, Aunt Sun recognized him.

But then she looked surprised and said, "Oh, you came in person? Are you two getting back together?"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Guowei asked curiously.

Aunt Sun, however, acted as if she knew everything and said, "You don't need to hide it from me anymore, Ziyang told me everything! People say you're irresponsible, but I only just realized that you're really responsible. You not only bought houses and cars for Ziyang and the others, but you also gave them money to spend! That's why people in official positions are so rich."

"No, don't talk nonsense. I haven't given them a single penny. My monthly salary is only five thousand yuan. Where would I get the money to give Ziyang and the others?" Zhou Guowei was completely dumbfounded.
