"But you should have your own principles. Have you thought about what you would do if she used this as an excuse to ask you to remarry?"
He naturally understood this principle, and Xu Yanshu nodded in deep agreement. One thing is one thing, and he was very grateful to Xie Huanyu for being willing to lend him a helping hand at the most critical moment, but that did not mean that he would reconsider the relationship between the two of them.
That day, I was just being soft-hearted for a moment, and it wasn't a big deal. But I didn't expect Zhou Zehao to make such a big deal out of it.
Xu Yanshu didn't intend to continue explaining himself or offering thanks. He humbly nodded in agreement, "Yes, Uncle, you're right. I will definitely be more careful about my behavior in the future!"
“It’s all settled now, but you’ll have to explain to Shengyi’s mother yourself,” Ouyang Ming waved his hand dismissively, his expression much more relaxed than before. “He’s always been the type to not tolerate any nonsense.”
"Getting her to truly agree with you will probably take a lot of effort, so you'd better be mentally prepared!"
When this topic came up, Ouyang Ming couldn't help but become quite interested.
He knew his wife's picky personality all too well, and he wanted to see if Xu Yanshu had the ability to get her approval.
These words immediately made Xu Yanshu feel an invisible pressure. He looked up and met the other person's interested gaze, and a strange feeling inexplicably rose in his heart.
"It's okay, you can do it, I believe in you!"
...
"First you slandered her for cheating, and now you're causing trouble at her studio. What did Xu Yanshu do to offend you?"
Zhou Zehao shrugged dismissively and said casually, "It's nothing, I just can't stand him!"
This stubborn and unyielding attitude infuriated Zhou Shengyu. He unconsciously raised his hand, his face as dark as ink.
Noticing the other party's actions, Zhou Zehao was stunned for a moment, and his eyes turned completely cold in the next instant.
No wonder he's his own son! They haven't even officially recognized each other yet, and he's already going to teach me a lesson for Xu Yanshu's sake. This old man is really something else.
"It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. How many times have I taught you this principle? If you continue to act so willfully, who knows how many enemies you'll make in the business world... you..."
It was the same old cliché again. Zhou Zehao frowned impatiently, and before the other person could speak, he forcefully interrupted, saying, "But business competition is inherently a dog-eat-dog game."
"You expect me to be a 'good guy'? Dad, the one who really needs to reflect on this is you!"
What kind of twisted logic is this?
Just as Zhou Shengyu was about to say something, his assistant walked in from outside.
"Mr. Jay, the car is ready, we can go to the hospital anytime."
Zhou Shengyu nodded in understanding, waved for the other person to leave first, and then looked at Zhou Zehao.
"You should stay in Chengdu quietly during this time. I'll ask your Uncle Huang to keep an eye on things in Kyoto."
"And you'd better not provoke Xu Yanshu again, or I will definitely not let you off easily!"
What can we do? He's a rebellious person by nature!
Watching the other person leave, Zhou Zehao raised his eyebrows indifferently. The more he was told to do something, the more he wanted to do it.
If he were to surrender now, he would likely soon witness a touching scene of father and son reuniting after a long separation.
...
It wasn't until she received a call from Huang Dongsheng that Xu Yanshu finally remembered what she had forgotten.
"You little rascal, you clearly promised me, but you ran off without saying a word at the last minute."
"Uncle Huang, I'm so sorry. There was an unexpected situation that forced me to return to Chengdu early. I will definitely come back to apologize to you in person when I have time!"
He had indeed arranged a dinner with Huang Dongsheng in advance, but who would have thought that a photo from Zhou Zehao would ruin the whole thing? To prevent the misunderstanding from escalating, he had no choice but to fly back to Chengdu immediately.
"Fine, seeing how sincere you are, I'll be magnanimous and not hold it against you!"
"However, Yan Shu, I have something to ask you!"
Such a solemn tone made Xu Yanshu vaguely guess what was going on. His eyes darkened, but he readily agreed, "Please speak freely!"
"Aren't you the person Lao Zhou has been looking for all along?!"
“You understand!” Xu Yanshu replied frankly. “I hope you can keep this a secret for me, because I have no plans to return to the Zhou family at the moment.”
“Of course I know that. Logically speaking, I should respect your own opinion on such matters, but I can’t help but say that as an elder, I hope you can acknowledge your ancestors.”
"These past few years, the couple has been relentlessly searching for you. Your mother's health has been poor for years, most likely due to this emotional burden. If you return to the Zhou family, your future pressure will be significantly reduced!"
Xu Yanshu frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he asked the question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.
"So why did they abandon me back then!"
Although he wasn't particularly bothered by it, he still wanted to get to the bottom of things.
"How could it be abandonment? Nobody expected this!"
"Back then, your father's secretary secretly took you out of the hospital and then disappeared with you. They searched almost the entire city of Rongcheng, but they couldn't find you. Your mother was so desperate that she almost committed suicide!"
