Chapter 83 The Prince of Beijing's Elite Circle Cried

You Huan: "She didn't talk about Li Mai and her family in detail, and I don't know much about it either. I only know that she doesn't have a good relationship with her family. You could say that she and Chengcheng have been each other's only support all these years."

You Huan then recounted, in fits and starts, some of Li Mai's experiences after giving birth, including her struggles finding a job and how she was eventually hired by Ji Wangyu.

After she finished speaking, I looked at Zhou Songyan and was stunned for a moment.

The dignified young master of Beijing's elite circle cried.

His eyes were red-rimmed.

She didn't know what to say for a moment.

Zhou Songyan wiped his face and stood up: "Ms. You, thank you."

You Huan sat there, watching Zhou Songyan's slightly hunched back as he walked out.

I couldn't help but sigh.

...

Sun Yuanjie was somewhat surprised to see his boss at the company.

He once said, "Don't call me unless the company goes bankrupt."

He thought that President Zhou wouldn't be coming all day.

Zhou Songyan didn't look at him and went into the office without saying a word.

Sun Yuanjie: "..."

President Zhou looked as if he had suffered a severe blow.

Oh, he knows.

Mr. Zhou probably knew that Ms. Li had a son and couldn't accept it.

But that doesn't make sense; Chengcheng came to the company with President Zhou.

So Mr. Zhou must know that Miss Li has a son.

Could it be that Miss Li concealed the truth and didn't tell President Zhou that it was her son?

Mr. Zhou realized he had been deceived and couldn't accept the blow.

He never expected that Chengcheng was actually Miss Li's son.

When President Zhou brought Chengcheng over before, everyone assumed that Chengcheng was the child of one of President Zhou's friends or relatives.

Sun Yuanjie remembered the information about Miss Li and Chengcheng that he had gotten back from Guan Qing.

He picked up the data from his desk and went to knock on Zhou Songyan's office door.

There was no response from inside. After thinking for a moment, Sun Yuanjie simply pushed the door open and went in.

"Mr. Zhou, this is the information Guan Qing has gathered about Miss Li."

Zhou Songyan's blank stare focused when she heard those words, and she turned to look at him.

Sun Yuanjie placed the data in front of him, then turned and left.

Zhou Songyan picked up those few pages of paper.

Guan Qing couldn't find out that Chengcheng's father was him, but she found out everything else.

It turns out she had a very difficult childhood.

No wonder he never saw her contact her family or go home during the year they were together.

How has she managed to raise Chengcheng all these years?

The more Zhou Songyan thought about it, the more painful it became, and the more she hated herself.

What did he do?

...

When Qin Xuan and Peng Zixu pushed the door open, they saw Zhou Songyan raising her hand to wipe her face, her eyes bloodshot.

Both of them were taken aback, then looked at each other, as if they understood something.

Peng Zixu closed the door.

Qin Xuan walked towards Zhou Songyan: "Old Zhou, don't be sad. It's just a woman. If you like Li Mai's type, we'll find you someone similar."

"That woman Li Mai is really bold, keeping such a big secret from you. She's definitely a scheming woman! I'll have someone teach her a lesson later."

Who are you going to deal with?

Zhou Songyan glared at Qin Xuan fiercely, as if he wanted to tear Qin Xuan apart.

Qin Xuan shrank back and took a step back: "Seriously, Lao Zhou? Li Mai has done something like this, and you still want to protect her? You still plan to be with her?"

Zhou Songyan looked at him coldly: "Listen to me carefully, Chengcheng is my son!"

Qin Xuan and Peng Zixu: "..."

It took the two of them a while to react.

Peng Zixu was the first to come to his senses: "No wonder I felt Chengcheng looked a bit like you, so he's your son."

Qin Xuan was a little skeptical: "Old Zhou, are you sure that's your son? Have you done a paternity test?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a cup smashed at his feet.

Qin Xuan swallowed hard.

That was close, I almost got hit.

However, he knew that Zhou Songyan could definitely hit him if he wanted to; this was a warning from Zhou Songyan.

"Old Zhou, I..."

"Qin Xuan, don't I know it's my own seed? Why would I need to do that piece of junk?"

Qin Xuan muttered under his breath, "You didn't know that before either."

Zhou Songyan: "..."

He was misled by Li Mai.

Moreover, it was Limaiti who broke up with him back then, and he never imagined that Limaiti would have a child with him.

Peng Zixu nudged Qin Xuan's arm: "Say less."

He picked up the data on the table and looked at it.

I felt uneasy after reading it.

"I never imagined Li Mai was so pitiful. She has no father, and her mother doesn't love her. How did she grow up?"

Peng Zixu handed the documents to Qin Xuan: "Take a look too. I think you have too much prejudice against Li Mai."

Qin Xuan took the documents.

Five minutes later, Qin Xuan started cursing: "Does this kind of person deserve to be a mother? Either don't have children, or if you do, you should treat the child better. What is this? If I were Li Mai, I would never speak to her again."

"This is outrageous! This is the first time I've ever heard of a mother like this. She doesn't even deserve to be a mother!"

They grew up in luxury, pampered by their families, and never suffered hardship or injustice.

He was arrogant, disdainful of everyone, and looked down on everything.

Zhou Songyan is in a worse situation; his parents are divorced, and his mother doesn't want him anymore.

But the Zhou family doted on Zhou Songyan and never let him suffer.

The quinoa is different.

I was like a ghost at home when I was little, and when I got a little older I was sent to a boarding school.

Qin Xuan was furious.

Peng Zixu glanced at Zhou Songyan.

Now I know why he was crying.

He must be very distressed by what Li Mai went through.

“It must have been tough for Li Mai to raise a child alone all these years, Lao Zhou, what do you think?”

Zhou Songyan lowered his head: "I want to get back together with her, I want to marry her."

"But Li Mai wouldn't agree."

Qin Xuan became agitated again: "Why? She's incredibly lucky to be able to marry you and give her child a complete family. Why wouldn't she agree?"

Zhou Songyan looked over coldly: "Qin Xuan, get out of here. I don't want to hear what you have to say."

Qin Xuan pouted: "That's exactly right!"

"Get out!"

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. I'll treat Li Mai like my sister-in-law from now on."

Peng Zixu: "Old Zhou, I think since Li Mai was willing to give birth to your child, she has feelings for you. Maybe she's angry because you disappeared for five years and haven't shown up. Try to coax her."

Qin Xuan: "Old Zhou, did you pursue Li Mai or did Li Mai pursue you?"

Zhou Songyan rolled her eyes at him: "Why are you asking this?"

"Let me see if you know how to pursue someone. If not, I'll teach you a few tricks."

“If you launch an offensive, I don’t believe Li Mai won’t fall at your feet.”

"Tell me quickly, who pursued whom?"

Zhou Songyan: "..."

You can tell the answer just by looking at him.

Qin Xuan's eyes widened: "Damn, Li Mai was the one who chased you!"
