Chapter 186 Deliberately Making Things Difficult



Xu Yanshu had just arrived at the studio when Zhou Zehao followed her in.

"Did the sun rise in the west today? Young Master Zhou actually agreed to come here?" Xu Yanshu joked casually, but there was obvious wariness in his eyes.

“Just consider it a coincidence that I happened to be passing by,” Zhou Zehao raised an eyebrow meaningfully, then chose a more pleasing seat to sit down. “But I do have something important to tell you!”

What important thing could he possibly have to do?

Xu Yanshu glanced at the person suspiciously, then pulled over a chair and sat down, quietly waiting for the other person to continue.

"Your mother might have stomach cancer!"

Um?

Xu Yanshu was slightly taken aback before realizing that the person mentioned by the other party was Shen Wei, and his expression unconsciously became serious.

What do you mean by "possible"? How can something so important be discussed in such an ambiguous way? And why would this person specifically come all the way here to tell me about this?

Logically speaking, this kind of thing shouldn't be within his scope of concern, but Xu Yanshu felt as if there was a piece of cotton stuffed in his chest, and the image of Shen Wei's sickly face flashed through his mind.

"I just had a systematic check-up a couple of days ago, and I'm still waiting for the report," Zhou Zehao explained, as if noticing the other person's confusion. "They're really looking forward to your return. Are you sure you don't want to seize this opportunity to show your filial piety?"

The old man originally wanted to wait for the test results before returning to Kyoto, but he couldn't resist Shen Wei's longing for her son, so he took a flight to Kyoto early this morning.

Unable to calm her agitated emotions, Xu Yanshu retorted irritably, "Zhou Zehao, do you have to be so bored? My surname is Xu."

“Your Zhou family’s affairs have absolutely nothing to do with me, Xu Yanshu, and you don’t need to go to such lengths to test me!”

"Is that so?" Zhou Zehao narrowed his eyes meaningfully. "If that's really what you think, then why bother coming to Chengdu to start a business? Isn't it obvious that your real intentions are not what they seem?"

Even if he really didn't have that intention, the Zhou couple were determined to find their son and bring him back.

While pondering, Zhou Zehao pressed the tip of his tongue against his back teeth, his eyes instantly turning sinister and ruthless.

The old man was already wary of him at every turn. If he really let Xu Yanshu go back, he would undoubtedly become nothing more than a backdrop to the Zhou family's loving relationship.

The safest option is for this person to disappear completely, to vanish from this world entirely.

Xu Yanshu completely lost his patience due to such relentless pursuit, and his face immediately turned utterly gloomy.

He never intended to have anything to do with the Zhou family, yet he was inexplicably targeted by Zhou Zehao, and now this man was questioning him like this.

Xu Yanshu coldly dismissed him, pointing to the doorway. "Young Master Zhou, this concerns my personal decision, and I don't think I have an obligation to explain it to you!"

"If there's nothing else, you can leave now!"

That's all it took to break through her defenses?

Zhou Zehao shrugged nonchalantly, his gaze towards the other person clearly carrying a hint of inquiry. Why did this reaction look so much like someone who was embarrassed and angry after having their secret exposed?

Then, he slowly stood up from his seat, casually put his hands in his pockets, leaned close to Xu Yanshu, and said in a low voice,

"Like father, like son, Xu Yanshu, you're actually quite the actor too!"

Watching the other person leisurely walk away, Xu Yanshu couldn't help but spit out a curse inwardly. The irritation in his heart grew heavier and heavier, and his tightly furrowed brows showed no sign of relaxing.

He Wen walked in from outside and noticed that the other person's expression wasn't very good. Thinking of the person he had just seen, he tentatively asked,

"Yan Shu, just now..."

"Yes, Zhou Zehao came to see me just now!"

No wonder

He Wen hesitated, then couldn't help but sigh. The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease. Who knows when this feud between the two will end?

At that moment, Shen Wei was actually sitting on a bench in the shopping street downstairs. Seeing that Zhou Zehao had finally returned, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"You little rascal, where did you go running around again?"

“I have a friend nearby, so I went over to say hello,” Zhou Zehao replied casually, reverting to his usual nonchalant attitude. “What, are you worried I’ll get lost?”

Shen Wei glanced at him, both amused and exasperated, then waved her hand dismissively, "What I mean is, you don't need to stay here with me. If you have something to do at the company, just go and take care of it!"

If he hadn't known that the old lady had liked to come here to sunbathe all these years, he would have suspected that this person was deliberately trying to get him away so that he could go find the people upstairs.

Zhou Zehao lowered his eyes thoughtfully, a mocking smile playing on his lips. He said coolly, "What, do you dislike me that much?"

"If it were your own son, wouldn't you be overjoyed?"

Caught off guard by these words, Shen Wei immediately lost her composure and hurriedly tried to explain, "I didn't..."

“Those people at the company aren’t just for show, they don’t need me to keep an eye on them all the time! Your husband specifically told me to keep you company before he left,” Zhou Zehao interrupted unhurriedly, then sat down in the empty seat next to him, taking out his phone as he did so. “I have to complete my mission properly, I don’t want to get scolded for this!”
