After finishing his business, Jiang Zhengyu happened to pass by the AC office building and picked up Qin Shengyi, who was about to leave work.
After chatting for a while, Qin Shengyi suddenly remembered to ask about the investigation he had conducted a few days ago.
"Zhou Shengyu is Yan Shu's biological father."
Qin Shengyi assumed the other person was joking, and she frowned disapprovingly, "Brother Zhengyu, this joke isn't funny..."
“It’s true! Yan Shu said it himself,” Jiang Zhengyu said solemnly, his brows furrowed. He then added, “However, he has no intention of acknowledging his ancestors.”
Is that really the case?
Qin Shengyi was slightly taken aback, and then couldn't help but sigh. He never expected that Brother Yan Shu would have such a background.
"Then why did Zhou Haoze get involved with Xie Junyang?"
Jiang Zhengyu shrugged dismissively. "The reason is simple: greed knows no bounds."
"The Zhou couple have been searching for their biological son for years. Zhou Zehao has become accustomed to being the eldest son of the Zhou family and naturally does not want another person to share the family property."
Since the parties involved had already made their decisions, he couldn't say much more. In fact, he thought Yan Shu could consider returning to the Zhou family.
In this way, he could completely break free from the Xie family's control over him. On the other hand, if he and Shengyi were to get together in the future, there wouldn't be much external resistance...
Realizing what he was thinking, Jiang Zhengyu couldn't help but chuckle. If Xu Yanshu couldn't protect Shengyi, it would be better for the two of them to remain just friends.
I see!
Qin Shengyi nodded thoughtfully, and when Xie Junyang's name was mentioned earlier, his eyes clearly showed more disgust.
She never expected that Xie Junyang would use his divorce as a bargaining chip in order to secure financing.
She didn't want to let the other party succeed, but she was also worried that it would really affect the progress of Yan Shu's divorce, so she hesitated to make up her mind...
"Although I managed to get away with it at the time, it seems that Yan Shu has already realized something, so you'd better be prepared."
Qin Shengyi nodded in agreement, while nervously rubbing his hands together, his eyes gradually turning wistful.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhengyu couldn't help but sigh, then reached out and patted the other person's shoulder to comfort him.
Those people's actions back then were indeed excessive, and Shengyi, who was originally a little princess raised by her family, fell from heaven to hell in a short period of time. No wonder she still can't completely let go of it.
The brother and sister had originally planned to eat Cantonese food, but they suddenly received a message from Xu Yanshu, so they had to go back to their neighborhood first.
Ding-dong—
The doorbell rang, and Xu Yanshu subconsciously got up to open the door.
When he saw the person following behind Jiang Zhengyu, his gaze paused slightly before returning to normal.
Qin Shengyi couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. She could have chosen not to come, but constantly avoiding the situation didn't seem like a solution; it would only make the other party more suspicious.
Since Yan Shu was in such a hurry to meet Jiang Zhengyu, it must be something important, which is why she thought of coming over to see if there was anything she could do to help.
Xu Yanshu was about to speak when Jiang Zhengyu interrupted him.
"Did someone from the Zhou family come to see you?"
Xu Yanshu paused slightly, surprised that Zheng Yu had guessed so quickly. He nodded gently and said, "Yes, he went directly to Xie's Group to confront me!"
I didn't intend to alarm Jung-woo, but these things can't be kept secret sooner or later.
He had to admit that Jung-woo was more experienced than him in handling these issues, and that trying to be tough might backfire.
So arrogant?
Qin Shengyi frowned slightly, her expression inevitably becoming serious.
She had seen plenty of wealthy family brothers fight tooth and nail over inheritance before, and just now, Zheng Yu mentioned that this Zhou Zehao was a ruthless scoundrel who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
She couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine; it seemed that Brother Yan Shu might not be able to handle him.
"So eager, huh? Looks like your father-in-law has been trying to sow discord among him."
Jiang Zhengyu nodded knowingly, then slowly sat down on the sofa and waved his hand dismissively, "But he probably won't make any moves for the time being."
"I don't know what it's about, but Zhou Shengyu has been quite critical of him lately, so he won't dare to do anything in the near future."
That's how wealthy families are; no matter how loving and filial they may seem on the surface, they all have their own schemes and calculations behind the scenes.
Otherwise, Zhou Zehao wouldn't have come to find Yan Shu without telling the Zhou family, and similarly, even if Zhou Shengyu valued this adopted son highly, he couldn't possibly be completely without suspicion.
Is that so?
Xu Yanshu nodded thoughtfully, secretly calculating how many days were left in the divorce cooling-off period. Perhaps he could get the divorce papers in hand first, so as not to be overwhelmed later.
Jiang Zhengyu looked around and asked in confusion, "Where's Uncle He? Did he go out again?"
"I don't know, no one was home when I arrived!"
“This person has been going out a lot these past few days,” Jiang Zhengyu said, his expression slightly grim. He narrowed his eyes meaningfully, then looked up at Xu Yanshu. “He’s probably getting impatient.”
The relationship that stands together because of a common enemy may seem solid, but it is actually prone to collapse at any time.
From what he noticed, He Wen's behavior in recent days has indeed been very unusual.
Xu Yanshu was slightly stunned, and his heart sank to the bottom.
He had anticipated this possibility, so he had made a promise to the other party beforehand, and Uncle He had also said that there was no rush, so how could it be...
After regaining his senses, Xu Yanshu quickly found his phone. "I'll call her right away!"
The call was abruptly cut off by the person on the other end as soon as it connected, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Could something really have happened?
Qin Shengyi unconsciously glanced at Jiang Zhengyu sitting to the side, who shook his head at her almost imperceptibly.
Xu Yanshu cautiously pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and then called the other party again. This time, the call was answered quickly.
“Hey, Uncle He, you…”
"Don't worry, I'll take full responsibility for my actions and I definitely won't implicate you," He Wen said directly, and then hung up the phone without hesitation.
So what exactly does He Wen want to do?
It was easy to hear that He Wen was very agitated, and the group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Xu Yanshu was the first to come to his senses and walked out without saying a word.
"I'm going to find him!"
The brother and sister, a beat slow to realize what was happening, exchanged a knowing glance and then followed suit.
