Chapter 1318: Cheering for You

"You... what do you mean?"

"Literally what I said."

Zhou Chengchen tossed out the four words coldly, then grabbed Xiao Rou’s hand. "Little Rou’er, let’s go."

Xiao Rou’s eyes were brimming with tears as she nodded, but a hand suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed the wrist of Xiao Rou’s other hand. "Rourou."

Xiao Rou yanked herself free from his grip hard. Her tears were still falling nonstop, but her emotions had calmed a lot. She took a deep breath. "Let’s break up."

"You... what did you say?"

"Let’s break up."

"Rourou, I only did all this for you."

Zhou Chengchen really couldn’t listen to another word. For Xiao Rou? Was Xiao Rou the one who forced him to buy a house? Was Xiao Rou the one who forced him to make money with dirty tricks?

Who Xiao Rou was, how could Zhou Chengchen not know? Maybe Xiao Rou’s family wasn’t some top-tier wealthy clan, but they definitely weren’t so poor they couldn’t afford food.

And Xiao Rou wasn’t the kind of girl who keeps asking her boyfriend for money and things.

So Zhou Chengchen really wanted to roast this "I only did it for you" line—where the hell did that come from?

Before she could speak, Xiao Rou had already opened her mouth very calmly. "All for me? Fine. Since you say it’s for me, then I’ll make it very clear now: I don’t need it."

"Rourou..."

"Stop using ’it’s for you’ as an excuse to hurt me. Right now you can ’for me’ scheme against my friends—so in the future, are you also going to ’for me’ kill people and commit arson? Stop doing things ’for me’. It makes me feel sick."

Xiao Rou’s voice was still as gentle as usual, yet it hurt to listen to.

Zhou Chengchen immediately moved to shield her. "Little Rou’er, let’s go."

"Rourou!"

Zhou Chengchen and Xiao Rou had just reached the door when the man inside seemed to suddenly remember something and rushed over. He was about to grab Xiao Rou’s hand when, from outside the door, a strong force yanked both Xiao Rou and Zhou Chengchen out at the same time.

The newcomer’s strength was great; it even made Zhou Chengchen’s arm ache a little, and from the pull, her body actually bumped into the wall of the hallway outside.

It was light, it didn’t hurt, but when Zhou Chengchen steadied herself and looked, she saw that Xiao Rou was being solidly shielded in someone’s arms.

Nothing ambiguous about it, but it gave off a very strong sense of protection.

Zhou Qi was standing right between the two sides, and then he pulled Zhou Chengchen and Xiao Rou both behind him. "You heard what my sister just said, right? Take that money in your hand and go buy a grave for your future."

Zhou Qi might usually be just a lazy gamer shut-in, but no matter what, he was still the future heir of Zhou Group. Once that domineering-CEO aura came out, he didn’t lose to anyone.

This was the first time Zhou Chengchen had seen her brother look like this, and she suddenly had this proud feeling of "my big brother has finally grown up."

The man inside was clearly startled. The words "my sister" were enough to make the newcomer’s identity obvious.

If Zhou Chengchen was only the Zhou Family’s eldest daughter, then the man in front of him was the genuine, real-deal Zhou Family heir.

The man’s expression shifted again and again, as if he finally realized something. Panic surfaced openly in his eyes. His gaze once again fell on Xiao Rou, but Zhou Qi blocked him with his body, completely cutting off his line of sight.

Then Zhou Qi very dominantly led the two of them away. Zhou Chengchen had really been fuming at that guy’s god-tier twisted logic just now, but seeing her brother’s aura leaking out all over the place, she only wanted to go crazy cheering him on.

So her brother could actually be this handsome too.
