Chapter 6 Can't Go Home _1
Lin Zhou even thought that if the lady was here... sorry, the ex-lady, she would definitely be choking by this young master.
For the first time in two years, he saw the boss, who always kept cool even dealing with billion dollar contracts, losing control of his emotions. It was an era-defining sight that he had the privilege to witness.
While his heart soared, he dare not show any hint of delight on his face. Trying to reason with an angry man was futile. If he got roped into this because he reveled in other's misery, that'd be an undeserved disaster.
Only when he watched the dignified figure disappear behind the deep black iron gate, unable to hold back any longer, the corners of his mouth widened into a grin: "Haha, the ex-wife really is the Boss's nemesis."
After his little moment of gloating, he quickly covered his mouth and scanned the surroundings of the car.
Walls have ears, it's always best to be cautious.
Assured that no one was around, he relaxed and restarted the car to leave. He had even greater matters to attend to now.
Actually, he was more interested in how the patriarch of the Zhou family would react. The old master really liked this granddaughter-in-law, he had even insisted that they marry. The young lady was neglected for the past two years and the old master always felt guilty about it. Now that the boss divorced her without any warning, would he beat him up in anger?
Zhou Sinian being beaten?
He really wanted to see it firsthand.
While Lin Zhou unforunately did not get to see it, Ye Nanxun did manage to witness this historic scene and quite enjoyed it.
Zhou Sinian's mood was a mixture of anger and apprehension during his journey back to the mansion. Among everyone in the Zhou family, he feared the patriarch the most. Whenever a disagreement arose, the old man wasn't afraid to physically confront him. He had been disciplined countless times; it was fine when he was a child, but he was nearing thirty now. Being beaten at this age would be humiliating.
He entered the mansion with great caution and saw her leaning against the wall with a smirk on her face. His heart immediately filled with anger: "Ye Nanxun..."
She didn't even spare him a glance, her eyes quickly landing on the clock on the wall: "There's still an hour till seven. Whether death comes early or late, it's still death. Might as well face it now and get it over with."
His anger was stuck in his throat, not going up, not going down, nearly choking him to death.
"Ye Nanxun, you... Stop right there."
"Only a fool would stop." After all, they were already divorced. Even if he died of anger, she wouldn't end up a widow.
Zhou Sinian was rarely angry; and yet, this afternoon, he got angry more times than in an entire year, all because of a woman he had divorced. He truly couldn't understand his own state of mind.
Finally calming down, he walked into the living room: "Oh boy, what a rare guest. I thought young master Zhou has forgotten the direction of his home."
Trying his best to remain calm and courteous, he stepped forward: "Grandpa, I was just too busy recently."
"Yeah, busy. Young master Zhou is busy 365 days a year, 366 if it's a leap year. So, it should be an honor for me to see you today, isn't it?" Grandpa Zhou didn't skip a beat with his reprimands, it was rather strong. Ye Nanxun quietly moved to a corner, hoping not to get hurt in the crossfire.
At the same time, she kindly reminded Uncle Akun to keep his distance. He suddenly jerked, startled, and looked at her in astonishment: "What did you guys do this afternoon?"
