Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 490 Stealing a Home
"Brother Gou's move is really great!"

Qiu Zeyu, who was getting more and more comfortable with addressing Zhou Wang, completely ignored the fact that Zhou Wang was actually ten years younger than him. He just sighed, "As the saying goes, filial piety is the most important virtue. In this way, no one can find any fault with it..."

"Is this how 'filial piety is the first of all virtues' is used?"

Young Master Zhang's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but complain, "Why do I feel that the latter part of this sentence is more applicable to Zhou Wang?"

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it at all.

After all, she is the apple of the Ding family's eye and the daughter of the Xia family... All the good things in the world are taken by that damn Zhou Wang alone.

Not to mention that there is also Jiang Qingkui, who makes them all envious. She is beautiful, has good looks, is intelligent and capable. She is simply perfect.

"I don't know what Brother Gou is trying to do."

Cheng Qing, who had relatively little time to spend with Zhou Wang, shook his head and said, "If I were Brother Gou, I would probably marry Jiang Qingkui right away. I wouldn't dare mess with girls like Ding Yi and Xia Xiwei."

"That's because you haven't seen Gou's other women. From his perspective, it's really not that easy to choose."

Qiu Zeyu, who had contact with Jiang Mo in Beidu, shook his head and said with emotion.

They were discussing Zhou Wang's love gossip with gusto. On the stage, Zhou Wang, who was dancing with his mother, was also applauding his own wit.

You feel that some things cannot be solved, simply because your vision is not broad enough...

When Zhou Wang was speaking on the stage, his vision suddenly opened up and he saw his mother Zhao Guihua who was holding up her cell phone to record a video of him.

All of a sudden, Zhou Wang's thoughts became clear.

If he asked Ding Yi to dance, he was afraid that Jiang Qingkui would cause trouble. If he asked Xia Xiwei, Ding Yi would definitely not let it go. If he asked Jiang Qingkui, he was also afraid that Ding Yi and Xia Xiwei would cause trouble for him together...

But if you invite your mother to the stage, these three women will definitely be speechless.

Sure enough, they were all sitting quietly in the audience, smiling and applauding.

Only her mother, Zhao Guihua, was a little confused. She was sharing a video of her son's speech in the "Loving Family" group, and was having a lot of fun using some tacky flower emoticons. She never expected to be suddenly hit by a Q.

When she heard that she was supposed to dance on the stage, Zhao Guihua was a little nervous... This was because she was not very clear about the identities of the people sitting in the audience, otherwise she would probably be extremely nervous.

Fortunately, Zhou Wang was very good at making jokes. As soon as Zhao Guihua came on stage, Zhou Wang laughed and said, "It's okay, Mom. Don't you know how to dance square dance? I'll support you later, and you can just dance a few steps like you usually do."

"Ah, t-will this work?"

"Of course, I'll do it if I say so..."

After hearing what Zhou Wang said, Zhao Guihua was no longer nervous. Although the dance music that followed was not the "Little Apple" she usually listened to, but piano music played live by a professional, under Zhou Wang's guidance, Zhao Guihua gradually found the feeling.

It's actually a bit funny, because the way Zhao Guihua danced doesn't fit in with the so-called upper-class dance steps at all. It incorporates the steps of square dancing, and it looks a bit out of place no matter how you look at it.

But the guests present only laughed in good faith occasionally, and more often than not they kept clapping until the end of the song.

The dance floor is then opened and guests who wish to dance can stand up and invite their female partners to dance with them.

This usually involves a matter of etiquette, so even the big guys present will symbolically dance a song at this time to show face to the host.

After Zhou Wang sent Zhao Guihua off the stage, he wanted to slip out quickly while no one was paying attention to him and find a place to hide for a while until the dance was over.

But apparently someone had anticipated his prediction.

Zhou Wang was clearly walking in another direction, but as soon as he passed through the crowd, he saw Ding Yi, who was already waiting here with his hands behind his back and a cute smile on his face.

She was wearing a pure white long dress... Ding Yi could handle many colors, but in Zhou Wang's impression, her favorite color was always white, just the opposite of her senior who liked black.

The tassels of the dress flow like the wind, and when worn by the handsome Ding Yi, they give off an ethereal feeling.

Seeing Zhou Wang, she blinked proudly, then took a step forward, slightly bent her knees and stretched out one hand, "Handsome man, can I ask you to dance with me?"

Perhaps seeing Zhou Wang's hesitation, Ding Yi pursed his lips and said, "This is what you owe me... the graduation dance, remember?"

Among the thousands of killing weapons in the world, memories are the sharpest.

Zhou Wang, who was in a trance, recalled the graduation dance hosted by Caida Law School on the eve of his senior year. Ding Yi had sent him a text message inviting him to go with him, saying that he wanted to give his college life a less regrettable ending.

Zhou Wang did not reply to that message, and he did not go that day...

After the failure of his business, Zhou Wang lost interest in all group activities.

In fact, subconsciously, he was avoiding other people's gazes on him.

Later Zhou Wang found out that Ding Yi did not go that day either.

So in a sense, there is nothing wrong with what Ding Yi said.

"This is what Zhou Wang owes her."

So after staring at the girl in front of him for a few seconds, Zhou Wang finally smiled with relief, took the hand she extended to him, and walked back to the dance floor with her.

Although they lost the special significance of the opening dance, the combination of Zhou Wang and Ding Yi still attracted the attention of many people. Some were amazed at how well-matched this golden boy and jade girl were in appearance and temperament, some were analyzing whether Zhou Wang's action had any other meaning, some were smiling like an auntie, and some... were just simply jealous.

Yes, it's jealousy.

Xia Xiwei, who had just stood up and had not yet had time to find Zhou Wang, didn't understand why she had such emotions.

But she knew that she had been trapped in it for some unknown reason.

But matters like love are not supposed to be rational, right?
Call it a strange possessiveness or call it that she had developed lust for that man, Xia Xiwei knew that she just wanted to replace him and become the only girlfriend that man acknowledged.

...Unfortunately, she seemed to be a beat slow at this moment, allowing Ding Yi, who knew Zhou Wang better, to get there first.

Yan Baiqiu asked doubtfully, "That's Ding Boyu's daughter, right? Is she familiar with Zhou Wang?"

Then Yan Baiqiu was a little dissatisfied again, "Zhou Wang looks quite steady, why is he a little confused about the priority now? Even if he wants to dance with other women, he should be after you..."

Xia Xiwei was about to help Zhou Wang explain, but suddenly a bold idea came to her mind, so she smiled and said to Yan Baiqiu and Yan Siyun:

"Mother, Aunt, how about I take you to meet Zhou Wang's parents?"

"Now? That's fine too... I originally planned to ask Zhou Wang to introduce me after the dinner, so it's okay to get to know him in advance."

Yan Baiqiu didn't care that Xia Xiwei was still unwilling to call her "Mom". No matter what, it was a fact that after Zhou Wang appeared, their mother-daughter relationship had been greatly eased compared to before.

What surprised Yan Baiqiu the most was that she had tried to test Xia Xiwei to see if she had any plans to quit the entertainment industry. In the past, Xia Xiwei would never have paid any attention to her, but now she remained silent.

In other words, she seemed to be able to compromise for Zhou Wang...

So now Yan Baiqiu just wants to facilitate the marriage of Xia Xiwei and Zhou Wang as soon as possible. This is not only her intention, but also a fact that most people in the Xia family are happy to see.

The reason why I say most people is because Xia Xiwei's grandfather seemed to have some complaints about this. Somehow, he didn't like Zhou Wang. But because Xia Xiwei's biological father, Xia Qixian, was also very supportive of this, the old man didn't explicitly oppose it in the end.

Yan Baiqiu thought that she came to the Magic City on a "political mission", that is, she wanted Xia Xiwei and Zhou Wang to at least get engaged first, and other things could be discussed slowly.

As luck would have it, Zhou Wang's parents also came tonight, it seemed like God was helping her.

Xia Xiwei then took Yan Baiqiu and her sister to the table where Zhou Wang's parents were sitting.

……

"Zhou Wang."

"Ok?"

"It's okay, I just wanted to call your name."

The slender figure wrapped in a long dress was slightly pressed against Zhou Wang, and he seemed to be able to vaguely feel the scorching temperature. Zhou Wang felt warm in his heart as he listened to Ding Yi's whispers in his ear, and he almost couldn't control himself.

Most women will only tease your body, but Ding Yi's method is very advanced and it directly seduces your soul.

As if he also felt the momentary stiffness of Zhou Wang's hand on his waist, Ding Yi glanced down and then smiled playfully, "Are you trying hard to control it and not let it slide down?"

"I feel like it has a mind of its own and I can't control it anymore."

Zhou Wang said this and tentatively moved down a little.

However, Ding Yi did not show any shyness or anger. He just stared into Zhou Wang's eyes and said, "You can touch me if you want. But after you are branded, you can't deny it!"

Upon hearing Ding Yi say this, Zhou Wang withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted and became well-behaved again.

"coward……"

Ding Yi couldn't help but mutter, and a flash of loss appeared in his eyes.

At this time, the song happened to end. Ding Yi took the initiative to let Zhou Wang go and helped him straighten his suit. "You should go back."

"I thought you'd want to stay with me a little longer."

At this time, Zhou Wang couldn't help but teasing Ding Yi.

"I did think so, but I was mainly worried that if I continued to drag you along, you wouldn't be able to clean up the situation later."

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Wang was stunned.

Ding Yi didn't say anything, but just pointed in a certain direction.

Zhou Wang turned his head and when he saw the Yan Baiqiu sisters chatting and laughing with their parents at a dining table in the distance, and Xia Xiwei sitting beside them looking very well-behaved, Zhou Wang's face changed.

Oh shit, the crystal was stolen!

"My mother also wants to meet your parents. I can only buy you ten minutes. You'd better hurry up!"

Ding Yi raised his lips and reminded with a smile, "Also, I think Sister Qingkui is almost at the limit of her patience. You'd better find a way to comfort her, otherwise it's hard to say whether the situation will get further out of control..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wang didn't bother to continue talking to Ding Yidu and hurried back.

……

"It turns out that Zhou Wang also skipped classes when he was in school. I thought he was a genius since he was young..."

Xia Xiwei sat next to Zhao Guihua and affectionately took Zhao Guihua's hand. When she heard Zhou Dajun say that Zhou Wang was not a worry-free child, she couldn't help but smile.

Zhou Dajun and Zhao Guihua were actually a little confused, and Jiang Jiaxing and Li Xiaolei next to them were also full of doubts.

Because Xia Xiwei came directly with her mother and aunt, Zhou Dajun and Zhao Guihua actually didn't know what they were going to do. But because Xia Xiwei introduced both parties enthusiastically at the beginning, and Yan Baiqiu was trying to get close to them, Zhou Dajun and his wife could only follow etiquette to deal with it.

The topic always revolved around Zhou Wang. In addition, Xia Xiwei directly asked about Zhou Wang's childhood. Even if Zhou Dajun and his wife were slow-witted, they noticed something.

Zhou Dajun couldn't help but ask, "Boss Yan, may I ask what is the relationship between your Xiwei and Zhou Wang?"

Now it was Yan Baiqiu's turn to be confused. She glanced at Xia Xiwei who was pretending to be confused, and then said in surprise: "Ah, didn't Zhou Wang tell you that he and our Xiwei are dating..."

"what!"

This surprised question came from Li Xiaolei, whose face changed drastically.

"Zhou Wang is really dating you?!"

Li Xiaolei, with an extremely ugly expression, looked directly at Xia Xiwei.

She had felt that Zhou Wang and the other party had an unsimplified relationship when they were downstairs before. Now, after hearing the other party's mother directly admit it, Li Xiaolei could no longer sit still.

This was the first sentence Zhou Wang heard when he hurried back.

Yan Baiqiu and Yan Siyun were puzzled. They didn't know why this lady reacted so strongly. Xia Xiwei didn't say anything when she saw Zhou Wang coming back. She just blinked her big innocent eyes. She looked helpless, as if Yan Baiqiu had to drag her over...

The four pairs of eyes of Zhou Dajun and his wife and Jiang Jiaxing and his wife fell directly on Zhou Wang, as if waiting for his explanation.

Zhou Wang, whose scalp was tingling, was thinking about how to start the conversation when a cold voice sounded beside him.

"Dad, Mom, and Aunt, come with me for a moment. I have something to tell you."

Jiang Qingkui appeared suddenly without any expression. He just pulled Li Xiaolei's hand without saying anything and took her to the side.

Li Xiaolei couldn't get angry anymore, so Jiang Jiaxing could only get up and follow her with a frown. After Jiang Qingkui and his family walked away, Zhou Wang with mixed feelings withdrew his gaze. At this moment, he decided not to let Xia Xiwei make trouble anymore, so after taking a deep look at her, Zhou Wang sat down at the table.

"Aunt Yan, actually Xiwei and I..."

"We don't plan to get married."

As soon as Zhou Wang opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Xia Xiwei, who looked a little anxious.

Zhou Wang's prepared words were disrupted. He looked at Xia Xiwei in confusion, but Xia Xiwei only gave him a pleading look, and then looked seriously at the stunned Yan Baiqiu.

"I haven't had the chance to tell you yet. Zhou Wang and I have a good relationship, but I won't marry him. I hope you can understand."

"Xiwei, you...what nonsense are you talking about, you don't plan to get married?"

Yan Baiqiu asked in disbelief with a livid face.
