My aunt was very grateful and respected and admired my grandmother.

To outsiders, she is the decisive and ruthless CEO Zhou. But in front of her family, she has a sentimental side. She reminisces about the past, feels helpless about her grandmother's illness, and is sad and distressed.

She will also buy dolls that she couldn't afford before, as she is always making up for her past self as she grows up.

It was during class time, so no one else was passing by in the corridor. Aunt Zhou could let down her guard and enjoy the cheap bread from the convenience store.

The bread was too sweet and dry in terms of taste, but that didn't matter; she just missed the days when Grandma Zhou was awake.

Zhou Yi didn't like drinking beverages, so he took a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it, and took a sip. He waited for Aunt Zhou to swallow the bread in her mouth before hearing her say, "Xiao Yi, don't blame me for coming to your school without permission."

"After Su Qingjiao stormed out of the Zhou family villa a few days ago, she actually used your name to patronize the Royal Court Hotel for free. She even ordered the hotel manager to kick out the guests in the presidential suite."

"You know how badly this affects our hotel."

"Fortunately, the guests who were kicked out of the hotel did not cause any trouble, otherwise if our rivals found out about this, the entire media in Luzhou would have reported on it."

"The company appears harmonious on the surface, but as the old lady's passing draws to a close, factions have begun to emerge internally. I cannot allow any unexpected events to occur."

Zhou Yi held the squeezed-out bottle of mineral water and tossed it back and forth in his hands, watching the water shimmer with tiny circles under the sunlight. When he heard Aunt Zhou's words, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Su Qingjiao is really something, isn't she? She's already this bold at a time like this?"

He had always thought that Su Qingjiao would not reveal her true ambition until next year, which would be the fifth year.

Unexpectedly, signs of this have already begun to appear this year!

Has he already made himself the president of a subsidiary of the Zhou Group?

So now you can command everyone and make them do whatever they want?

Aunt Zhou sighed, "I told you long ago that this woman has a shallow mind, but she's bold and shameless. You think she's lacking love? Just give her love and what she's missing, and she'll be moved."

"Actually, this kind of person is selfish and greedy. They are never satisfied and will only become more and more demanding over time."

"However, with me here, I will not give her any chance to offend the Zhou Group. The Zhou Group is your grandmother's life's work, and there must be absolutely no mistakes."

"Otherwise, I would be letting down your grandmother's loving care and guidance."

Aunt Zhou gazed firmly into the distance. She had never harbored any unrealistic fantasies about the Zhou Group; she simply wanted to protect it.

Previously, Zhou Yi would always interrupt her impatiently, disliking her speaking ill of Su Qingjiao. Actually, Aunt Zhou didn't know that Zhou Yi didn't dislike it.

Zhou Yi had heard too much about it and was genuinely afraid that he would lose control and kill Su Qingjiao. If that happened, the mission would fail, and his grandmother would be truly beyond saving.

This time, Aunt Zhou was able to express all her thoughts.

A smile appeared on Aunt Zhou's face. She had a feeling that Zhou Yi seemed to have really grown up.

Perhaps soon, Zhou Yi will be able to take over the heavy responsibility of the Zhou Group.

It's too early to think about these things now. Taking over the Zhou Group brings not only money, but also responsibility and pressure.

The Zhou family supports tens of thousands of families; this responsibility is immense.

He paused for a moment.

Aunt Zhou suddenly changed the subject and brought Zhou Yi some good news: "By the way, I've finally found out a bit about the person you asked me to inquire about for you."

"The guest who was kicked out by Su Qingjiao at the Royal Court Hotel is named Shen Bingyan. She's not much older than you. I wonder if she's the person you're looking for."

Zhou Yi was deeply shaken.

After so many days, have you finally found it?

He suppressed his inner elation and tried to appear calm: "That must be her."

"Any news about her?"

Zhou Yi observed Zhou Yi's reaction. Had she seen that fleeting joy just now?

She had always wanted to ask why Zhou Yi would choose someone whose name she only knew, but whose other identity information she didn't know, not even what they looked like.

Seeing Zhou Yi's strange behavior now, he was even more puzzled.

But she still told Zhou Yi the truth: "She is too mysterious. I had someone investigate, but there was no information at all. It's as if someone deliberately hid her information."

"The hotel surveillance footage only captured her eyes. She was wearing a mask, so her face couldn't be seen. All we know is that she was followed by a tough bodyguard."

"I guess she must be someone of some status; her demeanor doesn't seem to be an act."

"All I know for now is that she's in Luzhou; I haven't found anything else."

When Aunt Zhou learned that Shen Bingyan had appeared at the Royal Court Hotel, she immediately asked the hotel manager to send her the surveillance footage.

Through the surveillance footage, she could sense that Shen Bingyan was a well-educated and well-bred heiress from a good family, and her status was definitely not low, but she didn't know what her status was.

This is nothing like Su Qingjiao, a fake who is full of arrogance and aloofness, empty and without any substance.

While it's true that she's decked out in designer brands, Su Qingjiao lacks innate manners, so she can only fool these innocent college students.

Zhou Yi took a deep breath and said to Aunt Zhou with utmost seriousness, "Auntie, I still need to ask you to help me continue investigating her."

"She...is very important to me." My grandmother's life, and even his life, depend on her. How could she not be important?

Aunt Zhou was surprised, her eyes filled with doubt and uncertainty.

It was obvious that she had misunderstood, but Zhou Yi did not intend to explain. Everyone has their own secrets, and even the most trusted person may not want to tell you everything.

Aunt Zhou paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll let you know if I hear anything about her."

But it's estimated that it will be difficult to find out much more...

Aunt Zhou stood up, glanced at her watch, and said, "Xiao Yi, I have a meeting later, so I'll head back now."

"If anything happens at school, just give me a call."

"However, I think that after the questioning just now, Su Qingjiao shouldn't have any more foolish people causing you trouble. Take good care of yourself."

Zhou Yi also stood up: "Auntie, be careful on the road."

Aunt Zhou looked at Zhou Yi with an inclusive gaze, full of trust and affection.

After seeing Aunt Zhou leave with her bodyguards, Zhou Yi slowly returned to the classroom.
