A few days later, seeing that Chang Rihui still had no intention of returning, Zhou Hongyu couldn't help but ask him a question.
Zhou Hongyu sized him up: "You don't want your green card anymore?"
Chang Rihui frankly stated: "My company has decided to increase its investment in the Asian region, and the headquarters will be located in Beijing. I will be working in Beijing for a long time from now on!"
Why didn't you do this sooner!
Zhou Hongyu scoffed, "Working and chasing after someone at the same time?"
Chang Rihui blushed: "You can't say that. I stayed mainly for work. My feelings for Ke Qiao are secondary, and Ke Qiao might not be happy to hear this!"
Zhou Hongyu looked doubtful. "Do I believe you?"
This order probably needs to be reversed.
Feeling guilty, Chang Rihui made an excuse and ran away.
Zhou Hongyu shook her head helplessly. See? She told me this was a tragic fate!

Chang Pengfei signed An'an up for a painting competition, hoping that An'an could inherit his aunt's excellent genes and become the next famous painter in the Chang family. Tang Xianfang was too busy with her studies to help him, so she set her sights on Zhou Hongyu.
As far as he knows, his mother isn't busy lately.
After hearing the request, Zhou Hongyu thought about it carefully and then refused: "I'm busy! Your second aunt's daughter, Xiao An, is coming to Beijing for further studies and will be staying at our house for a while. I need to make sure Xiao An is taken care of!"
My cousin, but this is his biological son and only granddaughter.
Chang Pengfei harbored resentment but dared not speak out, only secretly blaming Zhou Hongyu for not caring about his affairs.
Chang Pengfei left in a huff.
Zhou Hongyu didn't plan to keep him around to say anything more, because Chang Pengfei was just brainless and stubborn, and no amount of explanation would help him once he made up his mind.
He just couldn't figure out the logic that any normal person could see at a glance!
Shuying is studying abroad and is usually taken care of by Zhou Liangyu. Zhou Hongyu should put herself in her shoes and pay more attention to Tian Xiaoan's affairs.
Moreover, in recent years, Zhou Liangyu's relationship with the Tian family has deteriorated, leading to problems in the couple's relationship. The twins, Xiao An and Xiao Man, sided with their mother, while their eldest son, Xiao Liang, remained neutral. Xiao Man, who lived far away, was not affected, while Xiao An lived at home. It is easy to imagine that they were not having a pleasant time.
Back then, Tian Xiaoan chose the best school in the area after finishing the college entrance examination, probably because he wanted to stay with his family and still had a place in his heart for Lao Tian. Now, Tian Xiaoan is forced to find excuses to leave his family, which shows that the Tian family is really not a good family.
Chang Pengfei had also gossiped about his second aunt's family, so he knew about this whole thing. That's why he reacted this way—he was just brainless and stupid!
Chang Pengfei felt that Zhou Hongyu didn't care about her granddaughter, but Zhou Hongyu was wronged.
She cared too much about her granddaughter, so she decided to let go and not interfere.
After Chang Pengfei finished following a match from beginning to end, he was exhausted. He should think carefully before he messes with An'an again. Success is not a one-person affair. There are few geniuses as independent and talented as Shuying and Rihui. Most people need the support of their families. Being a full-time dad is not easy for him.
When Chang Pengfei and Tang Xianfang got home, they started complaining. Tang Xianfang was tired and listless after a long day at school. She listened to the beginning of the story, which was not a trivial matter, so she ate while listening to him.
After listening, Tang Xianfang put down her bowl and gently shook her head: "You hold a grudge against your mother-in-law because of this?"
He gave birth to the child, he decided to participate in the competition, so why is he blaming others?
Chang Pengfei said matter-of-factly, "Is that not allowed? Mom abandoned us and is busy taking care of Xiao An from my second aunt's family. I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it!"
Tang Xianfang looked at him seriously: "So what do you want?"
Not very good.
Chang Pengfei, thinking of his mother's unwavering mind and his utterly insignificant status in her eyes, couldn't help but feel discouraged: "I'll figure it out myself!"
Tang Xianfang smiled knowingly and patted his shoulder: "I have faith in you. If you can follow along from beginning to end by yourself this time, I will definitely put in a good word for you with my mother-in-law!"
Chang Pengfei was inexplicably confident; even before he started, he was already convinced that he would succeed sooner or later.
Chang Pengfei showed a hint of shyness: "Don't exaggerate too much when the time comes, or I'll seem too arrogant!"
Tang Xianfang: "..." I can't bear to look at this thing!
Tang Xianfang concluded by saying, "Then I'll wait for your good news!"
I think it's highly unlikely!

On the day Tian Xiaoan arrived in Beijing, Zhou Hongyu left plenty of time at home to wait for him, busy preparing all sorts of food and supplies, caring for him even more than she would her own child.
An'an passed the preliminary test smoothly, and Chang Pengfei rushed over to share the good news immediately.
Zhou Hongyu was preoccupied with Tian Xiaoan, who had left home for the capital, and was somewhat absent-minded. Chang Pengfei immediately became unhappy and his face fell.
This was his daughter's first time participating in a competition, and she passed the preliminary round smoothly. Sure enough, he was the least favored among the four children, and An'an was not valued as a result.
Zhou Hongyu: Are you crazy? Do you not have eyes to see how much I care about An'an? Besides, this kind of preliminary test is so easy to pass. Have you been a useless person for so long that you have no confidence in yourself?
When Zhou Hongyu looked up again, Chang Pengfei had already walked away in a huff. She shook her head, puzzled.
Even though they already have their own children, they still act like they haven't grown up!
It's a long story.
Zhou Hongyu tried her best not to think about that awful thing. She checked the time and realized she should leave early to pick someone up at the train station.
Zhou Hongyu was about to leave with her car keys when the security guard from the residential compound ran over and stopped her.
"Mr. Zhou, you seem to have some relatives visiting. They look unfamiliar, so you'd better go and confirm to avoid any mistakes!"
Zhou Hongyu walked over with the security guard and immediately spotted Tian Xiaoan standing near the security booth.
At this moment, Tian Xiaoan should be traveling by train to a province hundreds of kilometers away.
It wasn't until she saw Tian Xiaoliang next to Tian Xiaoan that Zhou Hongyu instantly understood why Tian Xiaoan had arrived ahead of time.
"Xiao An, Xiao Liang, you're here!"
"Auntie!"
"Auntie..."
When Tian Xiaoan saw Zhou Hongyu, it was as if he had seen a savior. He rushed over and pounced on her, and Zhou Hongyu laughed happily.
Taking the opportunity, Tian Xiaoan whispered in her ear, "Auntie, don't agree to anything my brother says later!"
Zhou Hongyu: ? ? ?
Did these two brothers have a falling out?
Tian Xiaoliang lagged a little behind and walked over to her side. After greeting Zhou Hongyu warmly, he immediately turned the conversation to his younger brother, Tian Xiaoan.
Tian Xiaoliang looked helpless: "Auntie, you don't know, Xiao An has been very rebellious lately. When my parents have conflicts, that's an adult matter. Xiao An and Xiao Man insist on taking sides, which makes the elders in the family unhappy. They get upset when we say a few words to them. He uses the excuse of coming to Beijing for further studies to hide away and doesn't care about his relationship with the family. I can't do anything about him, but..."
Zhou Hongyu listened attentively.
A hint of disgust flashed in Tian Xiaoan's eyes.
Tian Xiaoliang smiled politely: "Auntie, I think Xiao An shouldn't stay at your house during this study trip to Beijing, so as not to be misunderstood as you stirring up trouble behind the scenes!"
Tian Xiaoan almost vomited, and turned around fiercely: "Tian Xiaoliang, what do you mean!"
He was just joking around nicely, wanting his aunt to criticize him for acting rashly, but the words that came out of his mouth suddenly made it seem like his aunt was trying to sow discord!
