"Xiao Hao, tell us honestly, is there anything you're hiding from us?"

Zhou Zehao shook his head, feigning confusion. "Dad, what do you mean by that? I..."

Snap—

Seeing that the other party was still dodging the question, Zhou Shengyu immediately became furious, raised his hand and slapped the other person hard across the face, his eyes blazing with anger.

I was grateful for his filial piety before, but I never expected him to have so many schemes behind my back.

It seems they know everything.

His gaze suddenly turned cold. Zhou Zehao pressed the tip of his tongue against his numb cheek, his brows furrowed with a deep sense of malice and coldness.

In fact, he had long anticipated that he would receive such a slap.

Zhou Shengyu, hands on his hips, continued his furious questioning.

"Tell me, why did you do this? You know perfectly well that this is my and your mother's long-cherished wish! And I've said before that I would never take sides."

Although Xiao Hao sometimes acts somewhat extreme, he always believed that the child had a sense of right and wrong when it came to matters of principle. Although he was occasionally disobedient, he was still filial to him and his wife.

Even before this matter came to light, I had promised that I would not treat him unfairly because of it.

hehe!

The moment the words left his mouth, Zhou Zehao let out a cold laugh, raised his head, and looked at the person in front of him with a sarcastic expression.

"No favoritism? Dad, do you even believe that yourself?"

"He is your biological son, while I am just an adopted son. Are you sure there isn't even the slightest bias in your hearts? If that's the case, why didn't you dare let me know you were looking for him in the first place?"

Several years ago, they had been searching for Xu Yanshu's whereabouts with all their might, but they had been trying their best to keep it from him until he overheard them one day, and Zhou Shengyu finally told him everything.

Zhou Shengyu has been quite dissatisfied with himself for the past few years, while on the other hand, he is eagerly hoping to find his biological son. Under these circumstances, it is basically impossible for him not to be biased at all.

If things were really as he thought, Zhou Zehao would probably only be fit to carry Xu Yanshu's shoes, he thought sarcastically.

Such self-righteousness made Zhou Shengyu's face turn even more ashen, and he couldn't explain the issue for the time being.

There were reasons why I didn't tell him at first. Xiao Hao was rebellious and going through a rebellious phase at the time, and I was afraid that bringing up this matter easily would provoke his rebellious nature.

"Zhou Zehao, that's enough. You'd better not try anything else, or don't blame me for disregarding our years of father-son relationship!"

After saying that, Zhou Shengyu resolutely turned and walked out.

Father-son relationship?

Zhou Zehao scoffed at this inwardly, wondering when they had gotten involved in such a thing.

As long as he was alive, he would never allow Xu Yanshu to return to the Zhou family smoothly.

...

Upon receiving the sudden call from Zhou Zehao, Qin Shengyi was both surprised and wary. However, after he repeatedly mentioned Xu Yanshu, she finally agreed to meet him.

“Miss Qin, you are a smart woman. I hope you can persuade Xu Yanshu.”

"Don't covet what doesn't belong to you, lest you end up dying young." Zhou Shengyu crossed his arms and watched Qin Shengyi sit down in the seat opposite him before he spoke slowly, his tone filled with endless coldness.

die young

Qin Shengyi's heart sank upon hearing this. She abruptly raised her head and questioned him cautiously.

What do you want to do?

"Miss Qin, please don't rush, I don't intend to make a move yet,"

Zhou Shengyu shrugged dismissively, then paused for a moment before his expression suddenly darkened. "But if Xu Yanshu continues to act so recklessly, then I can't guarantee I won't do something."

They went to the hospital against their will, and then they say they don't want to have anything to do with the Zhou family? It's like being a prostitute and wanting to have a memorial archway.

If he insists on making things difficult for himself, then so be it, let's just go down in flames and fight to the death. He's got nothing to lose.

"Zhou Zehao, what are you trying to do? This is a society governed by law!"

"Besides, Xu Yanshu never intended to get involved with the Zhou family from the beginning, so you don't need to keep clinging to him like this."

Thinking about how this person had repeatedly caused trouble for Yan Shu, Qin Shengyi felt a surge of anger, and his tone inevitably became urgent.

Most importantly, Yan Shu never intended to have anything to do with the Zhou family from the beginning, so this targeting is simply an unwarranted disaster.

"Miss Qin, you're too naive. Xu Yanshu is far more cunning than you think!"

The words had barely left his mouth when the coffee shop door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Seeing Xu Yanshu walking aggressively towards them, Zhou Zehao patted the wrinkles on his clothes and slowly stood up from the booth.

Seeing Sheng Yi sitting unharmed in his seat, Xu Yanshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then gritted his teeth and questioned Zhou Zehao, "What the hell are you trying to do?"

Suddenly, I received a text message from Zhou Zehao, claiming that the victory was in his hands.

Knowing that this person was capable of anything when he went crazy, he immediately dropped everything and rushed over. Xu Yanshu never expected that this bastard would dare to set his sights on Shengyi.

"Brother, I was just inviting Miss Qin for coffee, why are you making such a fuss?"

Zhou Zehao explained casually, then took two steps closer to Xu Yanshu and whispered in her ear, "But if you continue to challenge my bottom line, next time it might not be as simple as just drinking coffee."
