Chapter 2421: The Fiancee Who Came Out of Nowhere
Thinking of this, Marcy felt a little distressed.
Although she still didn't know why the feeling was so strong, she couldn't just stand by and watch and not take it seriously.
Ma Xi immediately urged Zhou Si, "Then you should go back and rest early. If you are obedient, I will visit you tomorrow and bring you something good."
Zhou Si was very interested, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "What good stuff is it? Tell me about it."
Ma Xixi raised the corner of her mouth slightly, with a hint of mischief, "How about I cook for you? You haven't tasted my cooking yet, right? My cooking is delicious, I guarantee you'll whet your appetite."
She paused, her voice softening, "By the way, I'll give you a gift. I picked it out myself. You'll definitely like it."
Zhou Si's heart moved.
Of course I want the gift she gave me.
So, he nodded without hesitation: "Okay, then I'll wait for you tomorrow."
But Marcy didn't trust him and was worried that he would continue to work overtime, so she put on a stern face and said, "No, you leave the company now and go home. I'll watch you go."
Zhou Si was very obedient, even though he still had some work to do.
But the other party's concern was like a warm current flowing into his heart, making him not want to let him down.
He quickly turned off the computer, packed up his documents, stood up, and responded, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon. Don't worry too much."
Then, under Marcy's urging, she obediently walked out of the office.
Marcy smiled with satisfaction.
Only after she was sure that Zhou Si was in the car and it slowly drove out of the underground parking lot and went home did she hang up the phone with peace of mind.
When Zhou Si returned home, Old Man Zhou was sitting in the living room drinking tea. When he looked up and saw him, there was obvious surprise on his face.
He put down his teacup and asked, "It's early today, aren't you busy?"
Zhou Si took off his coat, sat down opposite him, and replied, "The important matters have been dealt with. The remaining trivial matters will be handed over to the people below."
Mr. Zhou nodded, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, and then he said, "It's just right that you're back. Come with me to the airport to pick someone up tomorrow morning."
Zhou Si asked doubtfully, "Who are you picking up?"
Mr. Zhou poured a cup of tea, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Your Grandpa Fred."
Zhou Si was surprised and asked, "Didn't he immigrate abroad many years ago? Why is he back?"
Mr. Zhou took a leisurely sip of tea and explained, "When you get older, you always want to return to your roots. Now that I'm old, I want to come back and spend my retirement in peace."
He paused and added, "By the way, his granddaughter is here this time too. You've met her before. Her name is Angela."
When Zhou Si heard this, his brows immediately furrowed.
Whenever grandpa mentions someone's granddaughter, it's usually not good news.
Either they arrange blind dates for you or introduce you to someone.
It gave him a headache.
He immediately said firmly: "I'm busy tomorrow. I have an important client appointment this morning. Just ask the butler to accompany you."
Mr. Zhou said coldly, "It won't take up much of your time. It's just a pick-up at the airport. It'll be quick."
Zhou Si analyzed without hesitation, "It takes an hour to get to the airport from here, pick up the person and wait, and then come back, at least an hour. The round trip will take more than two hours, which is half a day. It's a big delay."
Mr. Zhou was choked by these words and glared at him angrily, "I see you don't want to go, do you?"
Zhou Si spoke calmly, saying, "If it's just about entertaining an elder, I'm happy to do it, but if you have other motives and want to do something fancy, I'm really not willing to do it."
Old Master Zhou frowned, stared at Zhou Si, and muttered to himself.
His grandson was not easy to fool, but he couldn't help feeling a little unhappy about such a direct rejection.
Zhou Si noticed Mr. Zhou's mood and didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore.
He drank the tea in the cup, stood up immediately and said, "I'm going to go back and rest first. Grandpa, you should go to bed early too."
After saying that, he went straight back to his room.
Old Master Zhou looked at the departing figure and sighed helplessly.
It seems that this guy really likes that girl.
I really need to find some time to meet him.
Otherwise, I would feel uneasy about this matter.
……
Meanwhile, Marcy was at home and suddenly had a loud sneeze that made her nose itchy.
She raised her hand and rubbed her nose.
Shah Rukh just came back from outside and heard the sound as soon as he entered the door. He thought she had a cold.
Marcy shook her head and smiled, saying, "It's okay. Maybe someone is just scolding me behind my back, and my nose keeps itching."
Shah Rukh thinks so too.
After all, my daughter is hated at school every day and people often try to make things difficult for her. It's not easy.
So, he showed some concern and asked, "Has anyone bullied you at school recently? If so, remember to tell me, okay?"
Marcy said seriously, "No, don't worry."
Shah Rukh felt relieved after hearing this.
“It’s fine if you don’t.
The next morning, Shah Rukh had breakfast with Maasi.
He then asked, "You don't have classes today, do you want to go to the research institute with me?"
Marcy shook her head firmly and refused, "No, I have to stay home to do my homework and finish my paper! You go!"
Shah Rukh didn't force it.
Although you can learn from Yan Jue, you also need to lay a solid foundation.
Right now, school studies are the priority.
So, after breakfast, he went out by himself.
……
In the morning, Marcy was busy with her own things at home.
Around noon, I cooked a few dishes myself as agreed.
Packed it in an insulated box and prepared to go to Zhou Si Company.
But before going there, she made a special detour to Lu Wuyou's research institute.
Lu Wuyou was concentrating on the microscope.
She suddenly heard footsteps, looked up, and was surprised to see it was Marcy.
"Why do you have time to come to me today? Is there something you don't understand?"
Marcy didn't know why, but she suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
Then, she told Lu Wuyou the whole story.
About ten minutes later.
She came out again and went straight to Zhou Si's company.
When we arrived, the afternoon sun was shining brightly and the clock was already past twelve o'clock.
People were coming and going in the company lobby. Marcy walked straight to the front desk and wanted to ask the receptionist to help her inform Zhou Si.
Unexpectedly, there was already a girl standing at the front desk.
She has sexy big wavy hair, wears a bright halter dress, and wears a pair of fashionable sunglasses on her hair. The overall outfit is fashionable and bold.
She looked to be about the same age as Marcy, around twenty years old.
At this moment, the girl was saying to the receptionist, "Just so you know, I need to see your president."
The receptionist smiled and responded in a polite yet formal tone, "Do you have an appointment?"
The girl raised her chin confidently and said in a clear voice, "I'm his future fiancée, so there's no need to make an appointment."
Marcy stood aside, slightly startled.
Future fiancée? Where did this come from?
