Self-knowledge
Zou Yuqing knew his own limitations. Since Wei Mingjue wanted to cut off ties with him, he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to look for him. Although he had never taken the initiative from the beginning, it had always been Wei Mingjue who had been harassing him unilaterally. Once he was really moved, this Alpha immediately changed his face.
Perhaps this was what Wei Mingjue wanted to see. Zou Yuqing thought, he was like a herbivore with no ability to fight back, and Wei Mingjue was the hunter, enjoying the process of hunting him down. After he was caught, he didn't kill him, but cared for him and then gave him the fatal blow.
On the way home from get off work, Zou Yuqing took out his cell phone and checked. No one was looking for him. The man who used to ask him, "If I don't look for you, will you not look for me?" seemed to have suddenly disappeared from his life, like a dream.
This is all so unreal.
He got off the car and walked home in a daze, completely unaware that a man was hiding in the corner, staring at him with a face full of resentment.
Walking wearily into the hallway, Zou Yuqing found the door to his second-floor apartment ajar. His heartbeat quickened, and he hurried upstairs, a faint smile on his face, barely conscious of it, only to fall the next moment when he saw the newcomer.
"What are you doing here?" Zou Yuqing gritted his teeth as he looked at Zou Yushen standing in front of his mother. He stepped forward to separate the two, intending to protect his mother behind him, but Xu Jie pushed him away.
"What are you doing, Qingqing? He is your father! He is back!" After scolding Zou Yuqing, Xu Jie looked at Zou Yushen with a gentle smile, "Yushen, you are not leaving, are you? Have you had dinner? I'll make you a bowl of noodles to fill your stomach first!" After that, she walked to the kitchen with a hint of nervousness and visible happiness, as if she had no mental problems and was a normal good wife and good mother.
Zou Yuqing didn't stop her. Looking at his mother's back, he felt sad. Turning back to look at Zou Yushen, he angrily said, "Why did you come here so suddenly? You're not here to marry my mother, are you?"
The man in front of him didn't look guilty at all. He looked at his youngest son with a calm smile on his face, "Yu Qing, I'm your father. Do you really have to talk to your father like this? I just missed you and your mother, so I came to see you."
"You think I'll believe you?" Zou Yuqing sneered halfway through. "You haven't cared about us in the past few years, and now you suddenly say you do? What's wrong? Is it Xue Yuying who upsets you, or Zou Yuyang?"
Zou Yuqing suddenly felt so sad and wronged. Their father, who hadn't cared about them in all these years, suddenly appeared and said he missed them. But where was Zou Yushen when his mother was sick? What did Zou Yushen do when Xue Yuying showed up at their door? Where was Zou Yushen when Zou Yuyang made him take the blame and beat him? He didn't even know anything, so how could he say he missed them?
"Whether you believe it or not, I have never forgotten you and your son." Zou Yushen smiled and wanted to pat his youngest son's shoulder, but he dodged him.
The atmosphere in silence became somewhat irritating, until Xu Jie walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of half-cooked noodles, and then there were some more noises in the house.
"Yu Shen, eat quickly, I'll go look for it first!" After asking Zou Yu Shen to sit down and eat noodles, Xu Jie ran into the room, not knowing what she was looking for.
"What did you ask my mom to give you?" Zou Yuqing felt something was amiss, but Zou Yushen didn't say anything. He just stared at the noodles on the table for a moment before looking away, not intending to pick up his chopsticks. "Tell me! What exactly do you want from my mom?"
He hadn't glared at Zou Yushen for more than five seconds when Xu Jie pulled him aside again. Xu Jie hid a bag in her arms, gave him a warning look, then immediately changed her expression and looked at Zou Yushen. "Yushen, this is the eight thousand yuan I saved. If you still want it, I'll find a job and earn some for you. Okay, use it first."
Money? Zou Yuqing's eyes suddenly widened. "Mom...Mom! Why are you giving him money? He has money himself! Why are you giving him your savings?"
It is obvious that this family needs money more, so why give Zou Yushen this huge sum of money, which is an emergency fund for them?
"Don't you have money? Why are you asking us for money?" It was futile to stop his mother and Zou Yushen. Zou Yuqing growled with trembling hands.
Zou Yushen took the eight thousand yuan from Xu Jie, glanced at it with a hint of disdain, then smiled and said, "Yu Qing, I'm asking your mother to borrow money. What are you yelling about? Okay, then I'll be leaving first. You guys take care of yourselves. I don't think you'll be going to Yu Yang's wedding, right? Haha, when we become rich, we'll pay you back double the money, okay?"
Zou Yuqing was so angry at the back figure that once seemed tall but now only made people hate him that much that he could not utter a word. He lowered his head and asked with a sob, "Mom... do you love him that much?"
Xu Jie did not answer this question. She still looked at the direction where Zou Yushen left with a smile on her face, muttering, "He loves me. Yushen said he missed me."
"But he took your money." Zou Yuqing felt like he was about to explode. Why was everyone like this? What exactly was love? Some people were driven mad by it, while others were devastated.
"I'm his wife, of course I have to help him." Xu Jie smiled shyly again.
Zou Yuqing didn't say anything else. He closed the door and returned to his room alone.

The air pressure in the office was lower than ever. Xia Fan stood there, feeling so oppressed that he dared not even breathe. This had never happened before when the inhibitor had problems. He thought it might be because of Zou Yuqing again.
Wei Mingjue hadn't been seen looking for Zou Yuqing in the past few days, and the two hadn't interacted much. Perhaps this was why the Alpha in front of him was so angry.
"What day is it?"
"...Mr. Wei, I don't quite understand." Xia Fan was a little confused by Wei Mingjue's sudden question.
"Zou Yuqing hasn't come to see me for a few days?" Wei Mingjue twirled his pen, anger evident between his brows.
Xia Fan was even more confused. Zou Yuqing had never come to him before, and they had always gone to find him. Why did he ask such a question?
"He said there was no way he liked me, so was he making a statement to me?"
While he was still pondering how to respond, Wei Mingjue spoke again, "Are you saying that he can live well here without me? Seeing him smiling so happily at that Omega every day, does he like her? Does that Omega also like Zou Yuqing?"
"I'm not quite sure about this, Mr. Wei, but it seems that they are just colleagues with a good relationship." In order to prevent Wei Mingjue's mood from dropping again, Xia Fan explained.
"Is there any room in other departments? You'll transfer that Omega." Pressing his solar plexus, Wei Mingjue let out a long sigh and said, "The sooner the better."
Seeing others laughing so happily, right? Then transfer that person away. Wei Mingjue sneered in his heart.
It doesn't matter if I avoid him recently. The wedding is coming soon anyway, and we will definitely meet then.
