Feast for Shengsheng

Chapter 1009 It's all an act

By calculation, Shi Sheng's brother is about the same age as An Nai.

"He and An Nai were in the same year. He said that Zhou Jingyan and An Nai used to be together, but they broke up later. They were very low-key when they were together. The reason for the breakup was that Zhou Jingyan wanted An Nai to return to her family, but An Nai was unwilling. In addition, Zhou's family didn't like An Nai very much because she was too strong-willed. So the relationship ended without a clear reason. It wasn't because of anything else."

Shi Sheng told Su Zhenzhen about this past event.

“Annai’s background is ordinary, and that’s why the Zhou family is resistant. They always feel that Anai has ulterior motives. That’s why Anai is proud and wants to prove herself. Going back to the point, Zhou Jingyan pursued you, coaxed you, and made you move your business to the capital. Wasn’t that a way of superficially supporting you to continue your career, but actually hoping that you would retire and become a housewife?”

Shi Sheng looked at Su Zhenzhen intently.

This time, Su Zhenzhen was truly silent.

Regarding work, Zhou Jingyan has suggested many times that you could find someone below to handle it, instead of doing it yourself.

The Zhou family was indeed involved.

That's why Su Zhenzhen is gradually feeling more at ease now.

Otherwise, it would take a very long time for a company to grow from scratch to its current state.

Compared to others, she has already taken a shortcut.

“I don’t know Zhou Jingyan well, since we haven’t had much contact. But according to my brother’s evaluation of Zhou Jingyan, he says that this person always has a purpose in doing things. He even thinks that this person is cold-blooded and ruthless, completely heartless, and incapable of romance,” Shi Sheng continued.

Su Zhenzhen was a smart person, so how could she not understand the meaning behind Shi Sheng's words? She didn't avoid it and just watched.

"So you mean that Zhou Jingyan pursuing me, me falling in love with him, and then the marriage proposal, it was all an act, right?" Su Zhenzhen asked Shi Sheng.

"I'm not sure. But according to my brother, that's roughly it." Shi Sheng was also very serious.

"Then what is the purpose?" Su Zhenzhen asked Shi Sheng.

Shi Sheng shrugged: "We just can't guess. Only when a certain corner cracks open and we review the situation will we know what went wrong. Right now, everyone is completely baffled. Probably only Zhou Jingyan himself knows what his purpose is."

Su Zhenzhen lowered her eyes and remained quiet.

She wondered, can one person's affection for another person be faked?

That kind of genuine affection, and the mutual attraction when sleeping together, are instinctive human reactions that are hard to fake.

However, when she was watching TV dramas, she saw the eyes of the actors with good acting skills sparkling with each other on screen.

So it's really possible to act in it?

If that's the case, then what is Zhou Jingyan's purpose?

"Furthermore, Zhou Jingyan has never had a scandal in all these years. He has always been clean-living. When have you ever seen him so close to a woman? Besides, he has never used a female assistant before." Shi Sheng kept reviewing Zhou Jingyan's behavior.

Su Zhenzhen hummed in agreement.

Her mind was a bit of a mess.

But she remained calm and said, "Let's eat first. I need to sort this out."

"Okay." Shi Sheng nodded.

The barbecued meats were served one after another, sizzling with oil. Su Zhenzhen's appetite was not affected by this, and she ate quietly.

The two chatted while eating, and never mentioned Zhou Jingyan again.

After the two finished eating, Su Zhenzhen paid the bill.

"Will we run into them again if we go out?" Shi Sheng asked Su Zhenzhen, a little nervous.

"No." Su Zhenzhen was quite certain.

"How can you be so sure?" Shi Sheng asked, stunned.

“He and An Nai came to eat alone. If they weren’t having an affair, it was just a simple meal. We spent two hours eating, which is already quite long. They’ll be done in an hour at most.” Su Zhenzhen said this calmly. “If they were having an affair, then two hours wouldn’t be enough for a meal.”

In conclusion, this is a concise summary.

That's because Su Zhenzhen and Zhou Jingyan have spent a lot of time together and she knows his abilities very well.

If there's any ambiguity involved, especially in the private setting of a clandestine encounter, two hours definitely isn't enough.

So no matter what, they could never meet this couple.

Shi Sheng listened in disbelief and couldn't help but give Su Zhenzhen a thumbs up: "Zhenzhen, sometimes you're so amazing that I feel like you're not a normal person."

So cool.

When a normal woman finds out about this, her first reaction is to fly into a rage.

Who else is like Su Zhenzhen, able to review these details here?

"Now I'm starting to wonder if you really love Zhou Jingyan as much as you think?" Shi Sheng asked Su Zhenzhen subconsciously.

Su Zhenzhen was at a loss for words when Shi Sheng asked her the question.

She loves Zhou Jingyan, she's certain of it.

After more than a year, it was hard for her not to be moved.

And when she fell in love, she gave it her all.

The ability to calmly analyze these things doesn't stem from detaching oneself, but rather from a deep understanding of Zhou Jingyan.

She remembered Su Yin's words: all marriages in wealthy families are fake, and it's unrealistic for her to find love within a wealthy family.

But Su Zhenzhen genuinely thought that way at the time.

It's an absurd, yet very real thought.

Because of this mindset, one becomes increasingly entangled until finally, there is no way to extricate oneself.

So in the end, Su Zhenzhen did not answer the question.

After paying, the two left to continue shopping.

Just as Su Zhenzhen said, they did not see Zhou Jingyan and An Nai again.

In the evening, Su Zhenzhen returned to her hotel room at 10 p.m.

Her gaze fell on the spreadsheet on the computer, which was Zhou Jingyan's schedule.

But this itinerary was given to us beforehand.

So it's no longer of any use.

This table has absolutely nothing to do with Anna.

She was wondering if she should take the initiative to call Zhou Jingyan.

Just as Su Zhenzhen was thinking, Zhou Jingyan called. She paused for a moment before answering.

"Are you done with your work?" Zhou Jingyan asked casually.

"Just arrived at the hotel," Su Zhenzhen replied.

Zhou Jingyan knew she was on a business trip in Tokyo.

So this person knows why they didn't come to him.

This phone call made Su Zhenzhen feel as if Zhou Jingyan wasn't even in Tokyo.

"When are you coming back?" Zhou Jingyan took a sip of water and continued to ask.

"Shi Sheng will be here in two or three days. I'm planning to buy some things," Su Zhenzhen said without hiding anything.

“Yes, buy whatever you like.” Zhou Jingyan was very direct.

Zhou Jingyan never stopped Su Zhenzhen from doing what she liked.

He was never stingy with Su Zhenzhen.

The price of the gifts is not taken into consideration.

Every time Su Zhenzhen appears, her noble air is immediately apparent.

Therefore, the saying "money supports people" is correct.

"Okay." Su Zhenzhen nodded, and then asked casually, "Why are you calling me at this hour? You're usually still working overtime at this time."

It refers to time spent in the capital.
