Vertical?
Zhou Zehao scoffed at this. Over the years, he had always been careful and attentive to Zhou Zehao's moods. How could he be accused of any kind of "overbearing"?
As he pondered, he unconsciously pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek, secretly mocking himself. After playing the role of a loving father and filial son a few times in front of the media, this old guy seemed to have lost himself and was starting to lose his bearings.
Coming to his senses, Zhou Zehao strode into the living room, nodding and greeting the couple sitting on the sofa as if nothing had happened.
"Dad, Mom, I'm home!"
"Hmm, you're back relatively early today," Zhou Shengyu subconsciously glanced at his watch, then nodded and said, "I need to go to Baoning in a few days to take care of some things. Keep an eye on things at the company. Also, your mother hasn't been feeling well lately, so spend more time with her."
Go to Baoning?
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and Shen Wei subconsciously opened her mouth, but ultimately refrained from speaking, considering that Xiao Hao was still in front of her.
They wanted to find their biological child, but the young man standing in front of them was someone they had raised from childhood. It would be a lie to say they didn't feel any heartache.
But for some reason, Xiao Hao's temperament has become increasingly strange in recent years, and he has also begun to show obvious resistance to their search for people.
Zhou Zehao subtly observed this detail and gave a meaningful smile. This was what it meant to treat him as his own son!
They were so eager to go after hearing the slightest noise; they really couldn't wait.
With a slight darkening in his eyes, Zhou Zehao readily nodded in agreement, "Okay, the company isn't too busy lately, so I'll go home early every day after I finish work to spend time with Mom!"
"It's really just a minor issue, your dad just likes to make a mountain out of a molehill!" Shen Wei waved her hand awkwardly. "You're not getting any younger, it's time to start thinking about dating!"
Zhou Zehao immediately raised his hands in surrender, his tone full of helplessness, "Mom, please stop urging me. How can you rush something like this?"
As long as you have power and influence, you won't lack any kind of woman.
Rather than hoping they would care much about their adopted son, it would be better to keep the real power in their own hands. That way, even if they wanted to acknowledge Xu Yanshu back, it wouldn't be a big deal.
“A man’s ambition lies in all directions. It’s not too late to consider marriage a few years later,” Zhou Shengyu said noncommittally, disagreeing with his wife’s opinion. He then turned to Zhou Zehao and said, “You are not mature enough yet. You need to gain more experience.”
Just as he's gained some ability, his ambition is growing ever stronger. If he's not tempered, who knows what kind of disaster he might cause.
"Yes, that's what I meant too!"
Zhou Shengyu originally wanted to stay home with his wife, but he was called out by a phone call at the last minute, leaving Shen Wei and Zhou Zehao staring at each other.
Thinking about the recent tension between father and son, Shen Wei hesitated for a moment before offering some advice, "Xiao Hao, sometimes your dad might be a bit strict with you."
"But ultimately, he just wants you to get better and better, so please don't overthink it!"
Is it really for his own good to be wary and cautious of him at all times?
Zhou Zehao scoffed at this inwardly, his expression almost imperceptibly fading. Looking at the woman sitting in front of him, he felt a surge of inexplicable irritation.
Compared to Zhou Shengyu, she was actually pretty much the best she could do before.
But I don't know when it started, he also began to act and create a persona in front of me... Maybe it's just that you can't sleep in the same bed with two different kinds of people!
They'll find out sooner or later anyway, and hiding it now will only make Xiao Hao worry more.
Thinking about what had just been mentioned, Shen Wei nodded thoughtfully, and was about to speak when the other person spoke first.
"Mom, I'm not as petty as you think. I can see Dad's good intentions towards me. You don't need to come here to advise me on this."
Unexpectedly misunderstood like this, Shen Wei subconsciously began to explain, "That's not what I meant, you..."
"I suddenly feel tired, so I'm going back to my room!"
After saying that, Zhou Zehao suddenly stood up from the sofa, turned around and went upstairs on his own.
He entered the room, quickly locked the door, and took out his phone to make a call as he walked towards the balcony.
"Mr. Xie, if you continue to wait and see, Xu Yanshu might have to change his surname to Zhou."
