It was rare that Shen Wei was in good spirits after finishing chemotherapy. The couple sat together and chatted, and inevitably, they talked about Xu Yanshu.
“Since the child isn’t resistant to us, let’s arrange to take him home right away!” As she spoke, Shen Wei glanced down at her hospital gown with disdain, then looked up at the person in front of her pleadingly, “Could I be discharged from the hospital temporarily?”
"I'll come back to continue chemotherapy after we've safely brought Yan Shu home."
She had been harboring resentment ever since she heard that her son was intentionally avoiding them.
So when she found out that Yan Shu was their biological son, she was happy but also worried that Yan Shu might not want to acknowledge them as his irresponsible parents.
Hearing that Yan Shu was no longer opposed to contacting them, Shen Wei felt a huge weight lifted from her heart. She had always dreamed of bringing her son home herself.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shengyu immediately straightened his face and rejected the idea without hesitation, saying, "Nonsense! Nothing is more important than your health right now. Even Yan Shu wouldn't agree to you doing this!"
"Besides, Yan Shu doesn't seem to want to go home right now. If we bring it up rashly, it might put unnecessary pressure on the child!"
Moreover, he hadn't figured out how to resolve the conflict between Xiao Hao and Yan Shu. It was a rare opportunity for the family to reunite, and he didn't want the family to be constantly in turmoil.
To avoid causing his wife to worry about him, Zhou Shengyu didn't say these words aloud. He looked thoughtful, not yet knowing what to do.
That... seems to make sense.
Shen Wei nodded thoughtfully, then couldn't help but sigh, wondering when her family would truly be reunited.
"You should focus on getting better," Zhou Shengyu said gently, patting his wife's shoulder. "Fortunately, we've found Yan Shu now."
These words touched Shen Wei's heart, and her eyes suddenly reddened. "Yes, we've finally waited for this day!"
Meanwhile, Zhou Zehao and Mu Yichen were drinking together.
"Don't judge a book by its cover. Xu Yanshu is not someone to be trifled with. If you want to snatch someone from him, you'd better be prepared!" With that, Zhou Zehao tilted his head back and drank the red liquid in his glass in one gulp.
Zhou Zehao had thought the old man would at least put on an act, but he hadn't expected him to figure out how to get rid of him so quickly. A sharp glint appeared in Zhou Zehao's long eyes.
Mu Yichen nodded knowingly, then asked in return, "From what you're saying, it seems you've also suffered quite a bit at Xu Yanshu's hands, brother?"
The moment he finished speaking, Zhou Zehao raised his eyes and gave the man a cold, sweeping glance, his eyes clearly showing displeasure.
Hindsight is always 20/20. He regretted not acting decisively earlier and letting Xu Yanshu come to Rongcheng, which led to the situation gradually spiraling out of control.
Realizing he had misspoke, Mu Yichen waved his hand sheepishly, and then the two men simultaneously raised their glasses and clinked them together.
"And don't be discouraged. As far as I know, Qin Yao doesn't like Xu Yanshu very much right now. If you can win over your future mother-in-law first, your chances of winning will increase significantly!"
But Sheng Yi doesn't have that kind of feeling for me at all right now...
Mu Yichen hesitated for a moment. If Qin Shengyi never liked him, then everything he did would be in vain.
Zhou Zehao raised his foot and gave Mu Yichen a light kick, saying, "Can't you use your brain? Feelings can be cultivated later."
"As for such a major event as marriage, it has always been arranged by parents and matchmakers. If you marry her first, what will Mr. Xu have to teach you?"
He never liked meddling in other people's business, except for those who could annoy Xu Yanshu.
Zhou Zehao curled his lips with a knowing smile; he couldn't let him continue to be so smug.
The woman he loves will become someone else's wife in the blink of an eye. Xu Yanshu will be in for a lot of trouble then.
These words were like a wake-up call. Mu Yichen looked at the man gratefully and gave him a thumbs up approvingly, "Great job, brother! You're the best!"
Seeing that he was already far behind Xu Yanshu in terms of situation, if he didn't take some special measures, then...
"Stop talking nonsense! If you're really capable, bring her to me sooner rather than later, so I can rightfully acknowledge Miss Qin as my sister-in-law!"
"No problem, just wait for my good news!"
——
Upon learning from Jiang Zhengyu that Xie Huanyu had secretly contacted Qin Shengyi, Xu Yanshu was furious. After removing Xie Huanyu from the blacklist, he immediately made a phone call.
"Hey, where are you right now? I need to talk to you about something important!"
Seemingly sensing the hostility in the other person's tone, there was a moment of silence before the other person said, "I happen to be near your studio, so I'll come over to you!"
I found Shengyi alone. Given Xie Huanyu's domineering personality, I wonder how outrageous she might be!
Xu Yanshu's tightly furrowed brows showed no sign of easing, and he irritably tugged at his tie.
He was fully aware that he bore an unshirkable responsibility for this situation, and if he had known this would happen, he would never have asked Xie Huanyu for help.
Ta-da...
The sound of her high heels clicking on the floor was particularly crisp. Xie Huanyu strode in from outside, "Yan Shu, I'm here. What brings you here...?"
