Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Chapter 2472 Are you living together?

Marcy finally understood what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.

But if he continues to pester them, the vegetables in the pot will definitely get burnt.

They will have no food to eat at noon.

Marcy bit her lower lip and blinked twice with her beautiful doe eyes.

It's really a bit embarrassing.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally bit the bullet and quickly called out, "Brother, is that okay?"

The voice was trembling a little, and the cheeks were slightly hot.

When Zhou Si heard this, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face and he nodded, "Okay."

Ma Xi felt relieved, and quickly reached out to push the man into the living room, urging him, "Go wait outside, don't disturb me."

Then she quickly closed the kitchen door and turned around to cook.

Zhou Si was in a good mood. The depression accumulated last night was swept away and he felt a lot more relaxed.

later.

Marcy prepared a table full of dishes.

There were braised spare ribs, steamed fish, and a plate of vegetables that were almost burnt.

At the dinner table, she kept her head down the whole time, just eating her food, not even daring to lift her eyelids to look at Zhou Si.

Whenever I think of the two words "brother" I called out.

The feeling of shame surged into her heart and made her face blush.

Seeing this, Zhou Si couldn't help but smile.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little subtle, he had to bring up a topic to break the silence and asked softly, "Are you going to school this afternoon?"

Marcy raised her eyes and nodded slightly, "I have classes in the afternoon, and I'll go to the lab after class."

Zhou Si then asked, "Will you be back tonight?"

Marcy put down her chopsticks, looked at him and said, “I’m not sure, so I just made some extra food.

If I'm late for dinner, you can just heat it up in the microwave and eat it."

Zhou Si thought for a moment, tapping the table unconsciously with his fingers. His gaze fell back on Ma Xi, and he suggested, "How about I go to school with you later? After all, I won't be going to the company. If anything happens, I can still find you in time.

I'll also go to the lab to take care of some things so we can have dinner together in the evening."

Marcy felt a little worried when she heard his suggestion, as her fever had not yet completely subsided.

She reached out and gently touched Zhou Si's forehead.

After feeling the normal temperature on my fingertips and confirming that he no longer had a fever, I felt relieved.

She nodded in agreement.

Zhou Si smiled and put a piece of meat in her bowl, "Eat more."

Marcy smiled and replied, "Okay."

The two continued to eat.

Later, lunch was over.

The two of them cleaned up the dishes together, their movements brisk and orderly.

After cleaning up, they were about to go out and go to school.

Unexpectedly, the doorbell rang first and rang crisply.

The assistant heard the sound and went to open the door first.

He was startled when he saw the person outside the door.

Then he hurriedly bowed and greeted, "Old man, why are you here?"

Outside the door, Mr. Zhou stood tall and straight, wearing a dark Tang suit and looking energetic.

The butler and bodyguards followed behind him, standing solemnly on both sides, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Zhou Si heard the noise and walked over to take a look.

After seeing the old man, he immediately restrained his expression and greeted him politely, "Grandpa, why are you here?"

Marcy poked her head aside suspiciously, her eyes falling on the old man.

Although he was old, he looked very majestic and fierce, especially when his eyes glanced at her, they were as sharp as a knife, piercing straight at her.

Ma Xi's heart tightened, and she subconsciously grabbed Zhou Si's sleeve and leaned slightly towards him.

An innocent yet confused expression appeared on his face, like a frightened deer.

Seeing this, Zhou Si had no choice but to pat her hand soothingly and said gently, "Go to school first. I'll come find you later."

Marcy understood what he meant and knew that the grandfather and grandson had something to discuss, but she didn't say anything.

She nodded quickly and replied, "Okay."

Then she hurriedly picked up her bag and walked out.

When she reached the door and passed by Mr. Zhou, she bowed respectfully and greeted him politely, "Hello, Grandpa Zhou."

Mr. Zhou's face was tense, and he nodded reluctantly as a greeting.

Then he ignored it and walked straight into the house.

After Ma Xi left, the old man sat down directly on the sofa and asked in a deep voice: "How is the injury?"

Zhou Si knew that his grandfather came because of what happened yesterday.

He sat down opposite the old man and said truthfully, "I'm not injured, I just had a fever, but I'm fine now."

But Old Master Zhou didn't believe it. He frowned and stared at Zhou Si's palm.

He asked coldly, "If you're not injured, how did it happen? Don't fool me.

Also, you had someone keep the matter of Lantes a secret from me. If the housekeeper hadn't let it slip today, I wouldn't have known you had done such a big thing."

Zhou Si pursed his lips and touched his injured hand.

A hint of stubbornness flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "I made this myself."

Mr. Zhou frowned, his tone tinged with reproach, "Are you too impatient? You're taking action right after taking over the headquarters."

This will make them more wary of you, and every step forward will be more difficult."

Zhou Si took a deep breath, his Adam's apple rolling, and his tone was filled with uncontrollable anger, "But I can't help it."

Then, he slowly reached out and gently pushed an exquisite sandalwood box in front of Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou hesitated for a moment, took the box, slowly opened it, and saw the hairpin.

His pupils shrank and he said in a lost voice: "This is...?"

Zhou Si sneered, "They gave me this as an induction gift yesterday."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhou fell silent.

He finally understood why his grandson took action.

This hairpin was a relic of his deceased daughter and was her favorite piece of jewelry back then.

Memories came flooding back, and his eyes welled up with tears.

The old man held his daughter's belongings in both hands and couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Zhou Si clenched his fists, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

Silent silence, like a thick veil, spread between the old and the young.

The living room was silent, and the rustling of leaves in the breeze outside the window added a touch of desolation.

After a long time, the old man slowly closed the lid of the wooden box in his hand, making a slight click.

He raised his cloudy yet sharp eyes, looked directly at Zhou Si, and said in a low and distressed voice, "Let it go this time, but think twice before doing anything next time, and don't be so reckless."

Zhou Si lowered his head and squeezed out a weak voice from his throat: "I know."

Mr. Zhou suddenly changed the subject, his tone becoming casual yet unquestionable: "Let's not talk about that. Let's talk about that girl just now! Why is she here? Are you living together?"

Zhou Si raised his head suddenly and explained: "No, she just came to take care of me."

Then he gave a brief account of what happened last night.

Mr. Zhou listened quietly.

After Zhou Si finished speaking, he said calmly: "She comes from an ordinary background. It's not a good thing for her to be around you. No matter what happened between you two, you should keep your distance from her."
