"Zhou Shuo, you are our biological daughter, and Zhou Le is also our child who was raised by us since childhood. You both have the responsibility to consider the future of the Zhou family. It is an honor for our Zhou family to be able to marry into the Mu family."
"But Zhou Le is in poor health and timid, unlike you who grew up in the countryside and can adapt to the environment. This is also your best way out!" Shen Yu persuaded her daughter earnestly.
Looking at his mother who looked somewhat similar to himself, Zhou Shuo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This kind of ideological work, from implicit to explicit, has been going on for three days.
"Forget it, stop talking nonsense! She grew up in the countryside, do you still expect her to understand anything?" Father Zhou De interrupted Shen Yu impatiently.
"I tell you, Zhou Shuo, you have to marry into the Mu family whether you want to or not. This is your responsibility as the daughter of the Zhou family! You are not qualified to refuse! Our project worth 20 million is now stuck in the hands of the Mu family. If we can't get this business from the Mu family, our Zhou family will be doomed!" Zhou De said coldly.
Zhou Shuo slowly raised his head, reached out and brushed his shoulder-length hair, revealing a pale face, and his clear eyes swept across everyone's face.
Zhou Le, who was sitting aside gloating, couldn't help but feel choked up. He really couldn't understand how this country bumpkin who grew up in the countryside could have such a good face and such beautiful eyes. Not only did he look very much like his mother, but his skin was also so good!
It was so infuriating that she wanted to reach out and scratch her face. This face made her crazy every time she looked at it.
Zhou Le didn't wait for Zhou Shuo to speak, tears fell first: "Dad! Why are you so mean to my sister? She is your biological daughter! I am just an adopted daughter, so you should marry me to the Mu family, and then marry my sister to the Gu family. The Gu family will definitely not treat my sister unfairly-"
Zhou Le was choked with sobs and couldn't continue speaking.
Shen Yu's heart was about to break, and she quickly hugged Zhou Le in her arms: "Baby, don't cry, don't cry, how can this be? How is it possible? Gu Ming has such a good temper, he will definitely treat you well. Only when you are happy can Mom be happy! Good baby, don't cry, don't cry."
Shen Yu hugged Zhou Le while patting Zhou Shuo on the back, and said hatefully: "You girl! Say something! Don't force you like we are doing this! We are marrying you to the top wealthy family in M City, not forcing you to be a prostitute. What are you dissatisfied with? Why are you so selfish? Can you bear to see your sister cry like this? "
The blow on my back was burning with pain.
Zhou Shuo straightened his back and cleared his throat: "Okay, I'll marry you."
Zhou Le stopped crying, and the three of them looked at Zhou Shuo with surprise in their eyes, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.
"But I have a condition." Zhou Shuo said slowly.
Zhou De frowned: "What qualifications do you have to negotiate conditions?"
"Okay, go ahead." Shen Yu quickly stopped Zhou De and told him not to continue. The most important thing at the moment was to keep Zhou Shuo steady and not cause any further trouble.
Zhou Shuo's expression was very calm: "If I marry that Mu guy, will you get 20 million in business?"
"Yeah." Shen Yu nodded hurriedly.
"What's the surname Mu? How can you talk like that? So uneducated!" Zhou De was very dissatisfied.
"Sister, Mu, Young Master Mu's name is Mu Ci." Zhou Le said in a low voice, as if the name was hot.
Zhou Shuo didn't care whether the man was called Mu Ci or Shepherd Dog. To her, it made no difference.
"Okay, I'll help you close a 20 million dollar business. Consider it my repayment for your generosity. From now on, we'll be even, and we'll have no further contact. Okay?"
All three of them were stunned.
Zhou De said anxiously, "What nonsense are you talking about? You married into the Mu family as our daughter. From now on, we are relatives by marriage, so we have to visit each other frequently!"
Zhou Shuo looked at him: "Then I won't get married."
"You--" Zhou De was so angry that he really wanted to slap the girl in front of him.
After all, the child did not grow up in front of you, so you are not considerate at all.
Zhou Le spoke softly, tears streaming down her face before she could say anything. "Sister, you are so cruel! Are you blaming Mom and Dad? Don't blame them. It's all my fault. I've taken over your happiness and your home."
"It's my fault! I, I, I don't even know my own life experience. I shouldn't stay in this house. I, I'd better leave——, wuwu——"
Shen Yu was heartbroken and hugged Zhou Le tightly: "Where are you going? Do you want your mother's life? You have been with me since you were over one year old. You are my biological daughter! This is your home, it's yours! You can't leave no matter who leaves!"
"Mom——" Zhou Le and Shen Yu hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Zhou Shuo looked at them calmly, but his heart was already in turmoil.
The people in front of her were her biological parents and her unrelated sister.
She was lost when she was over one year old and was found by her biological parents a month ago.
Master once said that a lovely child like her must have a particularly warm home and her parents must love her very much.
She once thought so confidently.
But unexpectedly, when she returned to this home, she found that both her master and herself had overestimated blood ties and human nature.
Zhou Le was an orphan adopted from an orphanage by his father to comfort his mother after she went missing. He replaced her and filled the gap in his mother's heart.
This family is warm and loving, but it is for Zhou Le.
There is no place for her in this family anymore.
Whether it is the parents or the brother, or even the Gu family who have been engaged to Miss Zhou since childhood, everyone likes the beautiful, gentle and well-educated Miss Zhou Le of the Zhou family.
Zhou Shuo was just a wild girl who grew up in the countryside. Apart from looking similar to Mrs. Zhou, she had no other good qualities and could not be compared with Zhou Le.
The Zhou family had never thought about continuing to look for their lost daughter, but their business encountered an insurmountable obstacle, and Zhou De tried everything to solve it but failed.
Finally, it was his son Zhou Cong who found out an inside information: the Mu family, which holds the power of life and death over the Zhou family, is looking for a marriage partner for the eldest son Mu Ci. However, the young master of the Mu family has been a sickly child since childhood, and it is very difficult for him to survive to this day. It is said that he will not live past the age of 30. Which family would marry their daughter to him knowing that he is going to be a hellhole?
Zhou Family Meeting! The Zhou family has reached its wits' end!
However, Zhou Le, the beloved daughter of the Zhou family, is the apple of the eye of the whole family and must not be pushed into the fire pit. Then the biological daughter Zhou Shuo who had just been found is the most suitable candidate.
Although Young Master Mu was in poor health, the Mu family was a top-tier wealthy family. For a country girl, this was a step to heaven.
Except for Zhou Shuo, the four members of the Zhou family were very satisfied with this arrangement and praised it highly.
