Her mother died young in childbirth, and her father didn't treat her like a human being at all. If she didn't plan for herself, her life was destined to be a tragedy.
Ding-dong—
The doorbell rang, and Xie Huanyu suddenly came back to her senses.
Could it be that Yan Shu has returned?
A bold guess formed in her mind, and she unconsciously quickened her pace. But when she opened the door, the person she saw was Zhou Zehao.
Before she could compose herself, Xie Huanyu's tone was inevitably unfriendly, "Why are you here?"
"You seem quite disappointed. Who do you think it is, Xu Yanshu?"
Zhou Haoze raised an eyebrow noncommittally and then asked a question. He then pushed aside the woman blocking his way and walked into the apartment. After looking around, he sat down on the sofa.
It's already 11 p.m. You know, it's already 11 p.m.
Seeing the man's nonchalant behavior, Xie Huanyu felt a surge of anger, but she knew she couldn't offend him right now, so she had to suppress her temper for the time being.
Xie Huanyu took a wine glass from the wine cabinet, poured in some red wine, and handed it to the man on the sofa. She lowered her eyes and explained in a low voice, "No, I just didn't expect Young Master Zhou to come to see me so late."
Zhou Zehao stared intently at the woman in front of him before reaching out to take the wine glass. He casually swirled the red liquid before speaking slowly and deliberately.
"Oh? Is that so! I thought you were still eagerly waiting to rekindle your old flame with Xu Yanshu!"
"How could that be? I was just a little interested before, so I thought I'd play around with him," Xie Huanyu scoffed, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, her eyes full of mockery.
"An illegitimate child is just an imposter; how could I possibly be interested in him?"
She didn't understand why Zhou Zehao, this lunatic, kept harping on this issue, but based on her previous experience, she absolutely couldn't easily show her concern for Yan Shu in front of him.
Counterfeit goods...
Zhou Zehao narrowed his eyes dangerously. He sat up straight, slammed his wine glass down on the coffee table in front of him, and asked in a cold voice,
What did you just say?
As the couple searched for their biological son for longer and longer, more and more people learned that he was just an adopted son of the Zhou family.
People nowadays are used to saying one thing to your face and another to your back. On the surface, they flatter him as the esteemed young master of the Zhou family, but behind his back, they repeatedly criticize him and curse him as nothing more than a fake.
With a twitch in her eyelids, Xie Huanyu subconsciously took a small step back, completely unaware of what she had done to anger this person.
This timid behavior subtly pleased Zhou Zehao. No matter how arrogant and domineering this woman had been before, she had now tamed her.
Hearing this, Xie Huanyu seemed to have truly believed that Xu Yanshu was the Zhou family's illegitimate son, and he nodded in satisfaction.
"You're right, it's just a lowly lapdog, not worth paying attention to."
Such unpredictable reactions made Xie Huanyu wary. Even though she couldn't agree with such belittling, she didn't dare to say anything for a moment and silently sat down on the soft couch.
I didn't expect the old man to find out that Xu Yanshu was in Kyoto so quickly.
Zhou Zehao unconsciously pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek, his eyes suddenly darkening as he gritted his teeth and said, "Your father is a useless piece of trash too, he hasn't been able to get rid of Xu Yanshu completely after all this time!"
Hearing this, Xie Huanyu couldn't help but shudder. She then guessed that the reason her father had so quickly decided to kill Xu Yanshu was because Zhou Zehao was behind it all.
What makes Zhou Zehao so wary...
Does this mean that Zhou Shengyu actually values his son Yan Shu? She secretly kept this in mind.
If the elderly couple were to collect Xu Yanshu's body themselves, it might completely extinguish their hopes.
Zhou Zehao suddenly raised an eyebrow with interest, and his eyes suddenly lit up with an unusual light.
Since they are so persistent in looking for him, I'll grant their wish and let them see their own son.
Coming to his senses, Zhou Zehao slowly stood up from the sofa, patted the woman's shoulder listlessly, and then spoke meaningfully.
"A wise man knows when to yield. While there's still time, you might as well think carefully about who you should follow."
Only after watching the other person leave the house did Xie Huanyu's tense nerves finally relax.
Recalling the man's actions just now, she couldn't help but curse under her breath.
"What are you talking about? You're the mad dog!"
