Chapter 257: The Bitterness of Love

Zou Er was originally standing at the side lazily. When he saw this scene, a chill ran down his spine. He quietly straightened his body and stood upright.

Zou Bai looked coldly at the broken pieces in the chess box, then got up and walked to the rooftop of the building.

Zou Er looked at Zou Bai’s disappearing figure. After a while, he whispered to Zou Yi, “I was scared to death just now. Master hasn’t been in such a bad mood like today for a long time. What’s going on now? Why do I feel that his mood has started to change after he came back from the date?”

Zou Yi didn’t understand either, so he just shook his head and guessed, “Did he have a conflict with Miss Jiang?”

Zou Er thought for a moment, raised his hand to touch his chin, and said firmly, “I think so. His moody personality started acting up when he separated from Miss Jiang.”

“Love is a poison. It makes people lose their rationality and lose themselves. Just take a sip and stop. Drinking it will only send your life away.”

Zou Xin frowned and looked at Zou Er with disdain. “What nonsense did you read online again?”

Zou Er rolled his eyes at Zou Yi. His tone was filled with disdain. “What do you know? This is the truth. People like you who don’t understand have to suffer a few times in love sooner or later.”

The two of them were arguing in a low voice when they suddenly heard Zou Bai’s phone ring.

Zou Yi thought for a moment and finally walked over to take a look. He realized that Jiang An’s name was displayed on his phone.

Zou Er reached out to pick up his phone. Zou Er widened his eyes and shouted in a low voice, “How dare you touch his phone without his permission? You’re crazy!”

Zou Yi paused. “I’ll go upstairs and tell the boss.”

Zou Er looked at Zou Yi in confusion. “The boss’s bad mood must have something to do with Miss Jiang. When he sees Miss Jiang’s message later, his mood might be even worse.”

Zou Yi couldn’t be bothered to argue with Zou Er anymore, but he still couldn’t help but say, “What do you know? Disperse!”

Zou Yi pushed Zou Er aside and went straight to the roof.

Seeing Zou Bai sitting in the rocking chair, looking up at the starless night sky, Zou Yi approached and asked softly, “Boss, your phone’s message ringtone is ringing. Should I bring it up for you?”

Zou Bai blinked. After a minute, he calmly replied, “Bring it up.”

Zou Yi quickly returned and passed the phone to Zou Bai.

Zou Bai took it and instructed Zou Yi, “You can leave first.”

After Zou Yi left, Zou Bai opened the message.

Jiang An: I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I ran into something when 1 got home just now, so I didn’t have time to reply to your message. I’m back safe. What are you doing now?

Zou Bai didn’t reply immediately after reading it. After a few minutes, Jiang An saw that Zou Bai didn’t reply and sent another message.

Jiang An: Where are you?

Zou Bai: 1 didn’t have my phone with me just now. What happened to you?

Jiang An hadn’t told her family about her relationship yet, and she planned to delay it. Naturally, she couldn’t say that she had lied to them to hide this matter.

Jiang An: It’s nothing. I’m going to Lin City the day after tomorrow to film. My parents couldn’t bear to part with me, so they dragged me along and talked for a long time.

Zou Bai knew that the Jiang couple loved their daughter, so he had no doubt about Jiang An’s answer. His originally bad mood had improved a lot after looking at the stars for so long. Now that he heard Jiang An’s explanation, the remaining unhappiness was almost gone.

Zou Bai: What time is your flight the day after tomorrow?

Jiang An quietly slipped into the children’s room to see how the two children were sleeping. When she realized that they were completely asleep, she quietly closed the door and returned to her room.

Seeing Zou Bai’s question, Jiang An sat on the bed and hesitated about how to reply. Her grip on the phone tightened a little. In the end, she made up her mind and replied according to her plan.

Jiang An: 12pm.

Zou Bai: Then I’ll pick you up at your house at ten.

Jiang An thought for a moment and decided to make one last struggle.

Jiang An: Aren’t you usually busier on Monday? Meetings are usually held on Monday. I’m just going to take a plane. There will be many opportunities to send me off in the future. Why don’t you forget about it this time? Don’t delay your business.

Zou Bai: Your business is my real business.

When Jiang An saw this, she didn’t think that it was impossible to feel sweet. However, it also meant that she had let Zou Bai down. She continued to reply with guilt.

Jiang An: Alright, thank you, Mr. Zou..
