Zhou Hongyu stopped the man and looked at her nephew, who had a smiling but treacherous expression: "Tian Xiaoliang, let's not beat around the bush. Are you implying that I'm sowing discord behind your back?"
Tian Xiaoliang snorted coldly, his attitude was clear. He was convinced that Zhou Hongyu was the one sowing discord behind the scenes. His aunt loved to meddle in other people's business, and she must have heard rumors from his mother and then turned around and gossiped to his younger brother.
Zhou Hongyu laughed angrily: "Then you really don't know me! If I can't stand something, I'll immediately and openly complain to your mother. Only you would do such a despicable thing!"
Tian Xiaoliang's expression turned cold, a sign that he was about to erupt in anger.
Tian Xiaoan subconsciously became worried. He had always been afraid of his older brother since he was a child, and couldn't help but glance at his aunt.
Zhou Hongyu completely disregarded Tian Xiaoliang's dissatisfaction, saying with disgust, "Don't think I don't know what you're complaining about. Isn't it because you blame Xiao An for siding with your mother? In your heart, your father is more important than anyone else! You're too embarrassed to even talk about what your Tian family has done! And you still have the nerve to remain neutral!"
Tian Xiaoan's eyes widened. Her aunt was so fierce!
Tian Xiaoliang's icy tone was filled with lingering anger: "Auntie, no matter what, we're family. You know my mom's getting a divorce, and my dad hasn't done anything heinous. Why can't I stand on my dad's side!"
That bastard finally told the truth!
As the eldest son and grandson, Tian Xiaoliang was an outstanding student among his peers from a young age and was highly valued in the Tian family. However, the twins Tian Xiaoan and Tian Xiaoman were different. Tian Xiaoan received some affection from the Tian family because he was the grandson, but Tian Xiaoman, as the granddaughter, suffered a much worse fate.
The Tian family looked down on Zhou Liangyu's family and favored sons over daughters. They treated Tian Xiaoman like an object and always wanted to get more than they deserve from her.
That year, Zhou Liangyu made the difficult decision to leave her hometown, neglecting even her elderly mother. She painstakingly raised Tian Xiaoman, whom the Tian family had abandoned, to become successful. Now, Tian Xiaoman has her own career abroad and has achieved some success. The Tian family is eager to take advantage of her and has made even more unreasonable demands than before, which angered the good-tempered Zhou Liangyu. Old Tian sided with his own family, which led to the estrangement between the couple.
Zhou Hongyu sneered: "Your father is not wrong at all, it's your mother who is wrong, Xiaoman is wrong! Xiaoman should have been obediently sold off by the Tian family, while you can continue to enjoy your life as the heir of the Tian family. There can't be anything in this world that makes you unhappy. After all, you are the noble heir of the Tian family. What do other people's lives have to do with you? It's not like the knife is cutting your body!"
Tian Xiaoan was stunned and shocked. His aunt was not only ruthless, but she was practically insane!
Tian Xiaoliang had never been so offended; his face felt like it had been ripped off and trampled on.
Tian Xiaoliang stared at Tian Xiaoan with bloodshot eyes: "Are you coming with me or not!"
Of course I won't follow!
Tian Xiaoan gave his answer without hesitation.
Tian Xiaoliang shouted his name fiercely: "Tian Xiaoan!"
Tian Xiaoan was equally blunt: "You can't force me, I'm not replying!"
Tian Xiaoliang stormed off, and Tian Xiaoan couldn't help but sigh, looking sadly at Zhou Hongyu: "Auntie, how did my brother become like this!"
A family that loved each other dearly when they were young is now torn apart over the smallest interests. His father is a muddle-headed person who does disgusting things, and his brother is heartless and always does inhuman things!
Zhou Hongyu remained silent, but patted him on the shoulder reassuringly.
The reason behind this is not hard to guess; the Tian family is definitely the culprit, a complete troublemaker.

Before dinner, Chang Pengfei couldn't sit still at home any longer, so he used An'an as an excuse to come over again.
Standing at the door, Chang Pengfei mentally prepared himself for a while, thinking that once he entered the door, he would take the initiative to offer to be the head chef for tonight, and his mother's attention would definitely be drawn to him!
Chang Pengfei came in, put An'an down, and told her to go find her grandmother.
An'an shouted happily, "Grandma!"
Zhou Hongyu was cooking. Hearing the noise, she put down the food and came out. Chang Pengfei immediately became unhappy.
His mother rarely cooks, a privilege he doesn't even enjoy; Tian Xiaoan's status is indeed extraordinary.
Chang Pengfei felt increasingly heartbroken as he thought about it.
"An'an, what do you want to eat tonight?" Zhou Hongyu asked, kissing An'an.
An'an immediately looked at Chang Pengfei behind her and exclaimed, "Grandma, my dad said he wants to eat fish!"
An'an is too old to eat fish, so it seems there's someone else who wants to eat fish.
Zhou Hongyu rolled her eyes and nodded: "Then Grandma will make fish for An'an!"
An'an nodded in a daze, but Chang Pengfei was caught off guard by the surprise and was stunned. His mother was going to cook fish for him!
Hmph, it's not like I'm only cooking for Tian Xiaoan, he gets a share too.
He probably couldn't understand it; Zhou Hongyu had clearly agreed because of her granddaughter.
Zhou Hongyu looked at her simple-minded son with a hint of annoyance: "There's no fish at home, so hurry up and go buy some!"
Chang Pengfei ran out laughing, quickly bought some fish, and went home. But once home, he became unhappy again.
Not only was his mother doting on Tian Xiaoan, but even An'an seemed to be a traitor. Tian Xiaoan played with An'an, and An'an kept laughing, even happier than if he had received a birthday present.
Chang Pengfei felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
"An'an, did you know that your cousin's name also contains the character 'An'? We two are really destined to be together!"
"Really!" An'an exclaimed excitedly, waving her arms and legs. "My dad said 'An' represents good wishes, and my name sounds really nice!"
Tian Xiaoan felt a fondness for An'an and was about to say a few more words when he saw Chang Pengfei standing not far away, staring at him expressionlessly.
Chang Pengfei dropped the fish he was carrying on the ground, completely unconcerned, and walked towards Tian Xiaoan, staring intently at him.
