Chapter 1146: Chapter 1146: Little Brother, You’re Finally Back

Zhou Jihuai clearly just wanted to get rid of people.

“But Big Brother has been weak since he was a child.” Zhou Hengxing lay there, not wanting to leave.

“I said it was since he was a child.” Zhou Jihuai then turned his head and lazily glanced at the fourth one, “Aren’t you supposed to be in class, kid?”

“It’s New Year’s Day, holiday.” Zhou Hengxing proudly flashed a big white smile.

“And you?”

Zhou Nini got caught in the crossfire and shivered, “I, I, I… Big Brother said I always cause trouble and told me to go home and reflect. Until I figure it out, I’m not allowed to go out and work.”

Zhou Jihuai, helpless, held his forehead, “It looks like you’ll never need to work for the rest of your life.”

Zhou Nini: “????”

She… She wanted to report her uncle for discrimination, favoring males over females.

Zhou Hengxing muttered softly, “See! I’ve said it earlier, you single-handedly drag down our entire family’s IQ.”

“It’s not just me, little aunt is the same.”

Just as they were speaking, they saw Zhou Yan come in with Xu Xiaoxiao, who had just returned from the Capital this morning; the mother and son duo weighed down with big and small bags.

Zhou Hengxing gave his cousin a ‘you’re dead’ look.

Zhou Nini quickly shut her mouth.

Zhou Jihuai’s face darkened when he saw Third sister walk in.

“Jihuai? Oh my gosh! Jihuai you’re back, you finally came back, I’ve missed you to death.” Zhou Yan was genuinely happy to see her little brother, dropped what she was holding, and ran over to give him a big hug.

With Zhou Jihuai’s towering height of 1.9 meters, he stood like a deity, easily embracing Zhou Yan as if hugging a little girl, making sure Third sister didn’t fall.

The others couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.

Ji Fang watched, dumbfounded.

This was his first encounter with the other members of the Zhou family. After being with the Deputy Director for half a year, aside from the boss, he had only met Zhou Yan and Zhou Nini. These two unreliable individuals starkly contrasted with the Deputy Director and the boss.

Ji Fang was left with a profound impression, and he had also heard a joking saying circulated in high circles. It said that every Zhou family man was exceptionally gifted, while every Zhou family woman was…

Well! Better left unsaid.

Actually, there’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just that comparing is inappropriate. The more outstanding the Zhou men are, the more they make the Zhou women look like nothing.

In the past, he didn’t believe it because President Zhou was impressive, and his publishing house was well-known in the industry.

Now, comparing them, it seems… there is a bit of truth, especially in appearance, the men are indeed more beautiful than the women.

“Jihuai, I didn’t expect you would come back. Tell me, how long has it been since you last came here?” Zhou Yan, having steadied herself, grabbed her little brother’s hand and wouldn’t stop talking, her eyes red with emotion as she said plaintively, “Let me tell you, the eldest nephew changed his surname, he isn’t part of the Zhou family anymore. And… did you know the eldest nephew got married?”

Halfway through, she turned her head and found everyone looking at her, so she changed her statement.

Some things shouldn’t be discussed in public.

“I know now.” Zhou Jihuai also felt a headache coming on.

“It’s because you left and didn’t come home for years, like someone gone missing, impossible to find. I went to your workplace, and they actually said they couldn’t tell me anything. It really infuriated me.”

The Zhou family’s eldest miss had never suffered this kind of treatment before!

“If you had been home, the eldest nephew wouldn’t have ended up distancing himself from the Zhou family.” Zhou Yan missed her little brother too much, especially given the many incidents in the Zhou family these past few years. Despite her usually playful and carefree demeanor…
