As dusk approached, Xu Yanshu accompanied Huang Dongsheng to a restaurant, a Chinese restaurant they had booked.
When Zhou Shengyu saw Xu Yanshu following behind Huang Dongsheng, a strange emotion flashed across his eyes.
"Old Zhou, Yan Shu happened to be at my place this afternoon playing chess with me. Since you all already know each other, I brought her along. You shouldn't mind, right?"
Zhou Shengyu waved his hand to indicate that he didn't mind, but then said meaningfully, "Yan Shu, you are quite filial!"
On the surface, she says she wants to start her own business based on her own abilities, but on the other hand, she tries every means to get close to Lao Huang.
Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone, and if he hadn't brought it up beforehand, Huang Dongsheng wouldn't have spontaneously acted as a go-between.
Seeing that Huang Dongsheng had already sat down in the main seat, Xu Yanshu was about to pull out a chair and sit down when she suddenly heard such a sentence. She paused slightly before slowly sitting down.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Zhou Shengyu was even more hostile towards him than last time.
Huang Dongsheng naturally sensed something was off about those words, and he couldn't help but look up at Zhou Shengyu sitting on the other side with obvious doubt in his eyes.
Thinking he had made himself clear enough last time, he wondered why Old Zhou was still so hostile towards Yan Shu today.
After all the dishes were served, Huang Dongsheng and Zhou Shengyu chatted casually, while Xu Yanshu wisely remained silent, only speaking when asked a question.
As if suddenly remembering something, Huang Dongsheng turned to Xu Yanshu and solemnly reminded him, "Yanshu, you're about to leave Kyoto, why don't you take this opportunity to toast your Uncle Zhou?"
Leaving? Zhou Shengyu was slightly surprised. Didn't Lao Huang arrange for him to stay in Kyoto for a while longer? Why was he suddenly talking about leaving?
Seeing this, Huang Dongsheng spoke up to himself, his tone half-mocking, "It's like this, after careful consideration, I still feel that we can't let this kid off so easily. Let him go and try on his own first, and if it doesn't work out, then we'll step in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yanshu stood up and raised his wine glass to Zhou Shengyu.
"Jay Chou, this toast is for you!"
Noticing that the other party had not changed their form of address based on his previous statement, Huang Dongsheng paused for a moment, then his eyes flashed with a meaningful light.
Zhou Shengyu readily followed suit, raising his glass. After a brief nod and eye contact, he tilted his head back to drink first, still looking at Xu Yanshu with a hint of inquiry.
Huang Dongsheng's words were clearly just polite talk, and he really couldn't understand what the old man and the young man were trying to do.
He had gone to great lengths to introduce Xu Yanshu to him, and he had already promised to help him out appropriately, but unexpectedly, the man was planning to leave again after just two days.
There's really no need to play hard to get with things like this.
After they sat down again, Zhou Shengyu took the initiative to ask, "Yan Shu, if I may be so bold as to ask, what is your relationship with Miss Xie Huanyu?"
"She is my ex-wife; we just divorced not long ago," Xu Yanshu replied calmly.
He hadn't forgotten Xie Huanyu saying that Zhou Zehao had been in Kyoto all this time, so he figured the other party must have said something to him that made Zhou Shengyu so hostile towards him.
Xu Yanshu curled her lips indifferently. She had never intended to have too much to do with this person, and Zhou Zehao's actions had actually helped her.
So that's how it is!
Huang Dongsheng paused for a moment, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
He didn't intend to hide it from Lao Zhou, but the matter was too complicated, and he was reluctant to mention the grudges between him and the Xie family.
Zhou Shengyu nodded as if he understood, then said casually, "It's okay. A good man should have ambitions beyond his hometown. I believe you will definitely meet a woman who is more suitable for you in the future."
——
Because of Xie Junyang's strong insistence, Xie Huanyu had no choice but to visit him in prison.
When the father and daughter faced each other again, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
"Xie Huanyu, you're really something!" Xie Junyang gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words.
So many days have passed without any movement. Even he, who is slow to realize, has realized that something is wrong. But he never expected that his own daughter would betray him!
Suppressing her instinctive fear, Xie Huanyu raised her head and looked at the person opposite her slowly and calmly, saying, "After all, I am the successor you have personally nurtured, so naturally I cannot continue to be too inferior."
The moment the words left her lips, Xie Huanyu could no longer conceal the hatred deep in her eyes, and her hands, which had been resting on her knees, clenched into fists.
Even before she arrived, she had a rough idea of what this person would say after seeing her; it would be nothing more than accusations and moral blackmail.
But now that things are settled, he can't easily turn the tables, so he can't do anything to her. Therefore, she naturally doesn't need to be afraid to face him directly.
you!
Xie Junyang was thoroughly enraged by these words. He abruptly stood up, about to raise his hand, when a prison guard promptly stopped him.
"Number 4848, be quiet!"
Seeing the other person's instantly dejected appearance, Xie Huanyu couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile. When she looked at the other person again, her eyes became extremely sharp.
Even now, he's still thinking about lecturing himself.
Xie Junyang reluctantly sat back down, saying bitterly, "Xie Huanyu, why did you do this? I'm your own father, you..."
