Chapter 181: I Have an Announcement to Make

be me who proposes, showing sincerity. It wouldn't be right for Auntie Liu to do it on my behalf; that would be unmanly."Yi Muyang's words were half true, that he was indeed a non-marriage advocate. I...When everyone at the law firm left, she finally came out of the dimly lit conference room and prepared to hide in the hotel for two days. Her face was too embarrassing to show anyone. 。To her surprise, Zhou Ming didn't leave. He was sitting at his desk, busy with work. Seeing her come out, he closed his computer and got up without saying much. He simply said:

“Where are you going I'll take you ” 。"Very polite and considerate" 。Shu Tinglan didn't refuse, knowing he stayed behind especially for her, so she told him the name of the hotel. 。Two people went to the garage together and left in a car. 。"Why don't you come to my place I can get my mom to make you some delicious food. It's been a while since you've been here, she always talks about you." 。"Let's wait until another day for "

" and the rest. It wouldn't be appropriate if Auntie saw it like this." 。She had regained her composure, staring intently at the bustling traffic ahead, though her mind was actually wandering. 。

"Alright, don't scare my mom with that creepy look of yours." 。The elderly person has a weak heart and can't be startled. 。 。He was driving, unconsciously glancing at the rearview mirror and side mirrors. He had already noticed Zhu Yuan's car following behind him. 。Actually, Zhuo Yu'an had already been waiting for her, and he still didn't know what had happened. 。Your phone rang. 。He kindly reminded Shu Tinglan. 。Her phone vibrated, buzzing incessantly for a long time. It must have been the man in the car behind her calling. 。Shu Tinglan only then came to her senses, glanced at her phone and answered. 。The other person's voice came quickly, light and cheerful. "Another chance, what time are you going home" He almost exposed her, following behind Zhou Ming's car without trying to hide it. He acted like she had already found him and was playing a prank. 。Hearing his voice, Shu Tinglan hadn't shed a single tear. The strong person suddenly felt wronged, her nose sour, and her throat tight. She swore she wasn't being overly emotional, but hearing his voice made her unable to hold back. 。"I'm not going home tonight"

She choked back tears. 。Zhou Ming gave her a speechless look, thinking to himself not to let Zhuo Yu'an misunderstand that he was abducting her. Right now, his feelings for her were purely fraternal. 。Just then, Zhuo Yu'an accelerated his car right in front of theirs, effectively blocking them. Both cars pulled over to the side. 。Zuo Yu'an opened the car door and got out, striding towards their car. 。Shū Tīnglán was still holding her phone, tears welling up in her eyes, staring blankly out the window at Zhuó Yǔān running towards her. As dusk settled and lanterns began to glow, he seemed to be trailed by a constellation of stars, leaving a trail of sparkles as he walked. 。He leaned halfway out, tapped on her car window, and motioned for her to get out. 。Shu Tinglan obediently did as he was told, her eyes glazed over. At that moment, all she wanted to do was rush into his arms. The slight grievances she had suffered outside seemed insignificant in comparison. 。The moment she stepped out of the car, Zhuo Yu'an’s face turned ashen. He visibly inhaled sharply, his eyes burning with a barely concealed rage. 。Shutinglan only then remembered that her cheek was red and swollen from the slap. She took his hands in hers, shaking her head. "It's alright, it doesn't hurt anymore." 。Her skin was very pale, and the bluish-red swelling made her look especially tragic. 。"Was that her doing"She didn't know. The injury on her face was a hidden pain that Zhu Yu’an had kept in his heart all along. 。That time at Zhuoyuan Technology's cafeteria, he stopped her for no reason, causing her to be slapped by Wen Jian. This was a sore spot he had always avoided touching. He would feel pain and guilt the moment he thought about it. 。And now, her face is like this again, and it's still because of him. What can you do about it 。"She did it" Replacing the mother with just a simple "she" is rather cold and heartless. 。She knows about our marriage license, so it's a bit hard for her to accept. 。She explained the reason. 。。

"A little bit" 。It's not that the pain was unbearable, it's just that she felt heartbroken. She didn't expect his mother to be so resolute in her rejection of her. 。Zuo Yu'an didn't say anything more, nor did he even think about taking Shu Tinglan home. Instead, he lowered his head and said to Zhou Ming, who had been sitting in the driver's seat without getting out: "Please send Tinglan home." 。"Where are you going" Shu Tinglan asked. 。I have something to attend to. 。Be good, go back home with Lawyer Zhou first and wait for me there. 。"Without another word, she shoved Shu Tinglan back into Zhou Ming's car, slammed the door shut, and signaled for him to drive." 。"Aren't you going home, Mom" Shu Tinglan shook the window and asked. 。Be back later, I'm going home for a bit. 。"

Let's talk this through. Don't be impulsive." 。Don't be impulsive. 。He promised 。There's nothing impulsive about this. His communication with his parents has officially broken down. He's threatened them before, been honest and open with them, even laid out his boundaries, but they just do what they want. You can't blame him for being done with it. 。His hands on the steering wheel were shaking the whole way. His bottom line was Shu Tinglan, he had told his mother many times... 。When he arrived at the Zhuo family's home, the nanny rushed out to greet him. "You're here just in time, please try to persuade Teacher Cheng, she is very angry today and hasn't eaten a single bite since she got home and went into her room." 。Don't let anger get the better of you. 。The nanny, Cheng Zhimin, was brought from Beijing by Zhou Yujie. No matter where she worked, Cheng Zhimin followed her. She had worked at the Zhuo family for over 20 years and had essentially grown up watching Zhuo Yu'an. Therefore, she genuinely cared about their family. 。"Go get her down here, and bring my dad as well." 。Zhu Yu'an commanded calmly and steadily. 。He expresses his emotions, whether joy or anger, only to those who matter. To those who don't, he doesn't even show a trace of extra emotion. 。Don't be fooled by his calm and collected demeanor. He may appear emotionless, but inside he's cold. He no longer considers this place home and has abandoned all sentimentality, relying solely on reason. 。Chenzhimin, hearing that he was back, thought he had come to apologize. She jumped out of bed and started scolding as she went downstairs: "You actually came back! Go tell your grandfather what you did!" 。"

File for divorce immediately, and we can pretend this never happened" 。"Enough, you've said enough!" Zhuo Hong arrived at the living room and roared. 。He doesn't have any eyesight at all, does he Can't he see how Zhuo Yu'an is acting He's not here to apologize, he's clearly here to confront me. 。Zuo Hong was still imposing, sitting in the very center of the sofa and staring intently at Zuo Yu'an with a sharp gaze. 。Cheng Zhimin was also taken aback, then sat on the other side of the sofa and looked at his son. The men of the Zhuo family, one by one, were intimidating. 。"Have a seat!" Zhuo Hong gestured for him to sit down. 。Instead of sitting down, Zhuo Yu'an took out his phone and made a video call to Zhuo Lao Ye. 。"What are you looking for your grandpa for" Zhuo Hong asked. 。Mr. Zhuo is the pillar of the Zhuo family. He rarely gets involved in minor family disputes. 。Zhuo Yu'an still ignored him. He waited for the old man's secretary to help them connect before Zhuo Yu'an spoke: "You're all here, I have something to announce." 。Thank you all for your monthly votes, love youn more conservative than many of her evening gowns, covering both her legs and chest.In this hot weather, no need to wear heavy coats anymore, it's so refreshing.On the set, dozens of people were busy...
