Chapter 142 Unrealistic Fantasy

Zhou Shu wiped his tears and sat up straight.

She poked her head out from under the quilt, and finally, the throbbing in her heart eased a lot at this moment.

It doesn't matter if it's Li Jinyan or anyone else.

Zhou Shu would never allow himself to indulge in this unrealistic fantasy.

Her uncle's death was a warning. How could she not learn her lesson?

Zhou Shu tried his best to comfort herself for a long time before he found a reason to let her go through what happened tonight.

That night, Li Jinyan did not return to the room.

Early the next morning, when she got up, the man was no longer there.

Aunt Zhang was keenly aware that something was wrong. Zhou Shu didn't touch the prepared breakfast until it was allowed to cool.

But she knew clearly that her husband cared about Miss Zhou.

"Ms. Zhou, my husband actually cares about you. Last night, he passed by the door of the room several times. He probably couldn't lose face."

Aunt Zhang helped Li Jinyan explain, but Zhou Shu said nothing.

Looking down and wondering what he was thinking, Aunt Zhang could tell that the two of them were having a more violent fight this time.

She sighed softly and tried to be patient and comforting.

Zhou Shu suddenly came back to his senses and smiled slightly: "It's okay, I can understand."

She looked calm, as if she didn't care.

Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, vaguely realizing that Zhou Shu was still angry.

She didn't say much. Some things had to be said by the person involved.

As for Zhou Shu, after this night.

Her mood was actually much better and she had calmed down.

Just to investigate the truth, to a certain extent, he is just his own boss.

No matter what, people's hearts are unpredictable, so why bother worrying about other people's sincerity.

When she finds out the truth, she goes to find her relatives.

If things go wrong, or if her relatives don't want her as a burden, she will leave on her own.

After thinking about this, Zhou Shu finally got some energy.

She opened her phone and there was a message from Huo Jingtong: "How are you thinking about it?"

Zhou Shu replied calmly.

Huo Jingtong was right last time, he was the one who knew the inside story the most.

Cooperating with him is nothing short of the best choice.

In addition, the last address was indeed given by Huo Jingtong. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to find so many useful things.

We made an appointment and had a leisurely breakfast.

Zhou Shucai took his time to go out for the appointment, probably because of the quarrel he had just finished.

Li Jinyan didn't let anyone follow him, as to whether there was anyone following him in private.

Zhou Shu didn't know either, so it didn't matter for the time being.

She drove straight to the place she had agreed with Huo Jingtong. When she arrived, Huo Jingtong was already sitting there waiting for her.

"You're so early, Mr. Huo." Zhou Shu sat down calmly, with no trace of guilt about being late on his face.

"It's quite early for you." Huo Jingtong smiled politely, looking distant.

"What? Li Jinyan didn't look at you today?" Huo Jingtong saw her tired look and raised his eyebrows in ridicule.

Zhou Shu smiled nonchalantly: "How can I come out to find you when you've been staring at me?"

"Too."

Huo Jingtong looked at Zhou Shu now, but he wasn't so angry.

But he still couldn't feel good about it, especially, every time he thought about...

Huo Jingtong subconsciously shifted his gaze, looking careless.

Zhou Shu didn't want to be polite to him anymore, so he went straight to the point and joked: "Mr. Huo, I won't beat around the bush. I know you never let yourself suffer. It's the same this time. What do you need me to do?"

Zhou Shu put it bluntly, and she didn't want to beat around the bush on this matter.

Huo Jingtong paused and suddenly smiled heartily.

"Zhou Shu, you are indeed a smart man." Zhou Shu pursed his lips and said nothing. Huo Jingtong was still a businessman after all, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to come to him to do business.

No matter what kind of transaction it is, businessmen cannot afford to do it early if there is no profit.

What's more, that person is Huo Jingtong.

"So what do you need me to do?" She didn't take Huo Jingtong's compliment to heart at all.

She clearly knows that no conditions are free.

"You are very smart, but I really don't need you to do anything for now. You just need to help me keep an eye on the Yu family. Don't let go of any news about the Yu family!"

When talking about the Yu family, hatred flashed in Huo Jingtong's eyes.

Even though it was only for a moment, it was still captured by Zhou Shu.

She was suddenly a little curious, what was the deep hatred between Huo Jingtong and the Yu family that made him show such an expression?

Seeing that Zhou Shu didn't speak, Huo Jingtong chuckled and said provocatively: "What? Are you unwilling?"

Zhou Shu shook his head: "That's not the case, but I'm curious, what is the hatred between you and the Yu family?"

Thinking that Huo Jingtong would not say anything, Zhou Shu pretended to be emotional and said: "I always feel that there is no sense of security."

This was obviously meant for Huo Jingtong.

Cooperating with Huo Jingtong is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.

Once something happens, you will definitely be the first one pushed out.

She asked around in advance to make sure she knew what was going on. Zhou Shu smiled and was not aggressive.

"The hatred between me and the Yu family cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences."

Huo Jingtong responded perfunctorily, obviously unwilling to say more.

Zhou Shu curled her lips, spread her hands, and said innocently: "What should we do? We can't cooperate with peace of mind."

The latter sneered, and it was immediately clear what little thoughts Zhou Shu had in mind.

"Zhou Shu, don't worry. I just need you to stay dormant and collect information for a short period of time."

Huo Jingtong reminded in a low voice.

"If you can't just collect information, then I have to doubt Miss Zhou's sincerity."

After hearing this, Zhou Shu also laughed out loud.

"Okay, for the sake of the address you gave me last time, I will help you collect all the information about the Yu family."

This is not only for Huo Jingtong, but also for himself.

She didn't want to get involved with the Yu family, but she had to get involved with the Yu family.

The more information you know, the more confident you will be.

As for Huo Jingtong, it was just cooperation. As long as he got the news he wanted, he could tolerate everything else.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shu nodded and agreed.

"As long as I can get what I want, I will give you the news you want with both hands."

At least for now, Zhou Shu is quite satisfied with the cooperation between the two parties.

She drank her coffee slowly and suddenly thought of something.

"Huo Jingtong, you..." Zhou Shu opened her mouth, and after a while, she murmured: "Forget it, we'll talk about it later."

Huo Jingtong raised his eyebrows, vaguely guessing what Zhou Shu wanted to ask.

When he looked at Zhou Shu again, there was a hint of warning in his eyes: "Don't forget why you did all this!"

"I see."

Even if that's what he said, Zhou Shu couldn't help but be distracted.

Thinking of the out-of-control questioning that day, she just felt annoyed.

Such emotions spread throughout her body.

She shook her head violently, throwing all this away.

The cooperation with Huo Jingtong was concluded, but Zhou Shu was not in a hurry to leave, and just sat and drank coffee leisurely.

Huo Jingtong didn't leave either. He stayed in a rare good mood and didn't speak.

But that's fine, Zhou Shu didn't care what he said, he just needed some time to think carefully.
