Chapter 797 Following me will benefit you
Seeing that Zhu Zhe and his younger brother seemed to be having a conflict, which had nothing to do with Zhou Chen, he stepped forward and stole the show, pretending not to recognize Zhu Zhe's younger brother and punching him directly.
She then added that she was Zhu Zhe's boyfriend, which immediately piqued Zhu Minjie's curiosity. He hadn't expected that his sister already had a boyfriend.
The scene quickly spiraled out of control. Zhu Minjie, who had gotten up, immediately called Zhou Chen "brother-in-law" because he recognized Zhou Chen's identity.
This so-called brother-in-law is actually my sister's landlord; I met him once last year when he came over.
The thought that his brother-in-law was a rich man in Shanghai made Zhu Minjie fawn over Zhou Chen.
“Brother-in-law, my name is Zhu Minjie, and I am Zhu Zhe’s younger brother. I met you when I came to your neighborhood last time. You remember how you made a mess of the rented room.”
Upon seeing Zhu Minjie introduce himself, Zhou Chen also began to put on an acting show, pretending that he had just remembered.
"Oh, I vaguely remember. I'm really sorry about earlier. I saw you and Zhu Zhe arguing, and I thought you were a thug harassing Zhu Zhe, so I just started hitting you."
I hit you a little too hard just now. Are you alright? Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?
Zhou Chen began to show concern for Zhu Minjie's injuries, but Zhu Minjie quickly waved his hand to refuse, saying, "Brother-in-law, this is nothing. Isn't there a saying that you can't become friends without fighting?"
"When did you and my sister start dating? My sister never told the family about you two. She really kept it a secret. If we had known she had a boyfriend, we would have definitely come over to meet him."
Seeing Zhu Minjie calling him "brother-in-law" repeatedly, Zhu Zhe was speechless. Is it okay to call someone "brother-in-law" so casually?
Zhu Zhe grabbed his younger brother's ear and scolded him, "His name is Zhou Chen, not your brother-in-law. Don't call him that, and don't talk nonsense to Mom and Dad at home, or it will cause misunderstandings."
Get out of here right now and don't delay my business, or you'll regret it.
Seeing that his sister was angry, Zhu Minjie didn't stay any longer. He shamelessly exchanged phone numbers with Zhou Chen and left.
"Brother-in-law, we'll keep in touch from now on. I won't bother you any longer."
Zhu Minjie left after saying that, but he wanted to stay and get closer to Zhou Chen so that he could help him rent an apartment.
However, seeing the anger on his sister's face, Zhu Minjie ultimately held back. After all, this was only their second meeting, and asking for favors now would obviously have ulterior motives.
Seeing her younger brother leave, Zhu Zhe immediately started complaining to Zhou Chen, feeling that Zhou Chen had caused her trouble.
“Zhou Chen, you shouldn’t have gotten involved just now, and you shouldn’t have said you were my boyfriend. I’m sure this news will reach our hometown soon, and then my parents will start making a fuss again.”
Zhou Chen accompanied Zhu Zhe toward the elevator. In response to Zhu Zhe's complaints, Zhou Chen teased, "Zhu Zhe, I'm trying to help you. You're a 30-something-year-old single woman. You're not married and don't have a boyfriend. People who don't know you might think you have psychological problems."
With me acting as your shield, you can shut your family up. Isn't that a good thing?
From now on, they won't have to arrange blind dates for you or urge you to find a boyfriend. Shouldn't you thank me?
Besides, I really didn't expect that the person you were arguing with was actually your brother. When I saw you two getting into a conflict, I rushed over and started hitting him in a moment of panic.
Thankfully, it was just a misunderstanding and didn't cause any harm. This also shows that I really care about you.
The words "I care about you" immediately made Zhu Zhe's expression serious. She looked at Zhou Chen and directly refused, "Hey, some things can't be joked about. You said I'm an older single woman, how could I possibly meet your standards?"
You already have Ah Chu and Lucy, and I don't want to get involved in your relationship anymore. Don't say things like that again.
As for how I address him as "brother-in-law," I'll explain it to my brother. That guy's getting more and more shameless.
Clearly, Zhu Zhe's words were a complete rejection. She didn't want to get involved in Zhou Chen's relationship. Since they were already in a love triangle, why should Zhu Zhe jump in and get involved? That's why Zhu Zhe has been keeping her distance from Zhou Chen.
Unfortunately, Zhou Chen is incredibly stubborn and shameless. The more you don't want to be involved with me, the more determined I am to win you over. Otherwise, wouldn't I look like a complete loser?
After returning home, Zhou Chen immediately took out his phone and called Zhu Minjie, who had just left, ostensibly to invite him for drinks, as Zhou Chen intended to make his move on him.
Zhu Minjie was pondering how to build a relationship with Zhou Chen when Zhou Chen unexpectedly called him. With that, Zhu Minjie had no reason to hesitate and immediately turned his attention back to Zhou Chen.
Zhu Minjie also had his own purpose: he was determined to find out Zhou Chen's background and see if there was anything good out of this future brother-in-law.
At the entrance of the residential area, Zhou Chen picked up Zhu Minjie in his car. Looking at Zhu Minjie sitting in the passenger seat, Zhou Chen teased, "I heard from your sister that you only came yesterday. Such a big thing and your sister didn't even tell me. If I had known earlier, I would have definitely given you a welcome party."
I really went too far by hitting you earlier. We're all family, so I hope you won't take it to heart.
Tonight I'm taking you to the most luxurious bar in Shanghai to celebrate, consider it a welcome-back party, and everything will be on me.
Zhou Chen immediately began to act extravagantly, his purpose being to let Zhu Minjie know his strength, so that Zhu Minjie would be devoted to him and become his loyal hound.
After all, if there's no benefit in following you, why would anyone follow you?
Zhu Minjie deliberately rubbed his bruised cheek, pretending to still be in pain, and said, "Brother-in-law, it's all in the past now, I don't care anymore. Are you worried about my sister's safety?"
"By the way, this car of yours must be expensive. Although I don't know much about cars, I know it's a Maybach, so it must have cost quite a bit, right?"
Hehe, Zhu Minjie started probing Zhou Chen's background as soon as he got in the car. Who knows if this car is his own?
Zhou Chen generously replied, "I've been driving this car for several years now. It's not expensive; it only cost a little over a million when I first bought it. By the way, do you have a driver's license?"
If you have a driver's license, I'll lend it to you for a couple of days. It's not a fancy car, but it'll be quite effective at impressing girls. When you're out having fun, you should at least have a good time.
Although I, Zhou Chen, may not have much ability in the Demon City, I still have some influence. Following me will benefit you; after all, you're Zhu Zhe's younger brother.
Zhou Chen started making boastful claims, seemingly saying that he would protect him if he followed him, and that he was already recruiting followers.
But Zhu Minjie liked to hear that. He came to Shanghai just to find a backer and a better job.
This was arguably the first time Zhu Minjie and Zhou Chen had met alone. Zhou Chen offered to lend Zhu Minjie his car, a gesture that surprised Zhu Minjie.
Although Zhu Minjie didn't have a driver's license, he truly felt Zhou Chen's generosity, which naturally made him very happy, because it showed that Zhou Chen valued him.
Hehe, Zhou Chen knew that Zhu Minjie did not have a driver's license, which is why he brought it up. Since saying something could win people's hearts, why didn't Zhou Chen say it?
Zhou Chen was going to show off his wealth later. He wanted Zhu Minjie to know that only by following his brother-in-law would Zhu Minjie have a bright future.
Of course, the premise is that I am your brother-in-law. You are thinking about how to make me your real brother-in-law. Otherwise, who would care about you?
