"Dad, brother, where have you been this time? Why didn't you tell me?" Zhou Zehao leaned against the car door and asked with interest.
"Seriously!" Zhou Shengyu immediately became serious and scolded him irritably, then explained slowly, "We just happened to run into each other on the road, so Yan Shu gave me a ride!"
Coincidence? By the way?
Zhou Zehao nodded noncommittally, then looked up at Xu Yanshu meaningfully. Are there really so many coincidences in this world?
That's true. Now that the old man knows his identity, there's no need to continue with the tactic of playing hard to get.
Xu Yanshu selectively ignored it, still holding the steering wheel with a calm expression.
He could roughly guess what Zhou Zehao was thinking; he was probably trying to make his presence known to Zhou Shengyu again.
Those who are innocent will remain innocent, and besides, they were destined to be unable to coexist peacefully anyway, so they didn't care what Zhou Zehao thought.
Sensing the growing tension between the brothers, Zhou Shengyu's heart sank. He knew he couldn't stay any longer and immediately opened the car door and got out.
As the other person was about to enter the company, Zhou Zehao tilted his head and said teasingly, "Dad, aren't you going to say goodbye to my older brother properly?"
Zhou Shengyu turned his head and gave the person who spoke a cold look, then reached out and pulled the person inside.
Watching the two walk away side by side, Xu Yanshu felt a pang of envy. In truth, regardless of their backgrounds, having a father was always better than being all alone.
It's clear that Zhou Shengyu cares about his son Zhou Zehao, otherwise he wouldn't have apologized to him on Zhou Zehao's behalf before.
The father and son entered the elevator one after the other. After the elevator doors closed, Zhou Shengyu tentatively spoke.
"Is it really impossible for you to get along peacefully with Yan Shu?"
Given the way the two young people were so unwilling to back down, it's unlikely they'll be able to get along amicably anytime soon.
Unexpectedly, the other person said that. Zhou Zehao turned to look at the person beside him, thought for a moment, and then tentatively spoke up as well.
"If I say yes, are you going to kick me out right now?!"
"Xiao Hao!" Zhou Shengyu frowned unhappily and said solemnly, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You're my son too, how could I let you off so easily..."
"I know, I was just joking. I know Mr. Zhou is kind-hearted and would never do such a thing." Before the other party could finish speaking, Zhou Zehao interrupted him nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders as if he didn't care.
How can you joke about something like this?
Zhou Shengyu disagreed with this, and just as he was about to say something, the elevator doors opened first.
"I have to rush to process some documents, so I'll be going now!" With that, Zhou Zehao lifted his foot and walked out of the elevator without looking back.
Knowing that he couldn't change Xiao Hao's prejudices in a short time, Zhou Shengyu couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
Although he was often angry at his son's lack of ambition, just as his lover said, both sons were his flesh and blood, and he never thought of shutting Xiao Hao out because of Yan Shu.
But he really didn't want to see the two brothers turn against each other, so he had to think of a solution.
——
The truth eventually came out, and Qin Shengyi found out that Xu Yanshu had visited the manor. He immediately confronted his mother in anger.
"All guests are welcome. How can you treat Brother Yan Shu like this? Besides, I'm already doing whatever you say. What else could you possibly be dissatisfied with?"
If Jiang Zhengyu hadn't inadvertently let it slip, she wouldn't have known that Brother Yan Shu had visited the manor a few days ago. Knowing that Brother Yan Shu might not tell the truth, she could only find the butler to find out what happened.
Qin Yao's face suddenly darkened, and she asked unhappily, "How did you know about this? Are you still in contact with him?"
“You don’t need to know how I found out, Mom,” Qin Shengyi said, a hint of unease flashing across her face. She waved her hand awkwardly and then said, “Don’t you think you’ve gone too far?”
"Excessive? I made myself perfectly clear before, yet he still dared to be so arrogant and cause trouble. How can you blame me for that?"
"Also, Qin Shengyi, I'm your mother, you'd better watch how you talk to me!"
Seeing that her daughter was determined to argue with her for Xu Yanshu's sake, Qin Yao felt increasingly displeased.
Shengyi used to be the most obedient and sensible, but ever since she met Xu Yanshu, she has repeatedly clashed with her.
she……
Qin Shengyi was speechless. Her eyes welled up with tears instantly. She couldn't understand why her mother disliked Yan Shu so much.
"What's going on again?" Ouyang Ming walked into the study from outside. Seeing that neither of the mother and daughter was willing to give in, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. "I heard you two arguing downstairs. Can't you talk things out?"
Qin Yao waved her hand impatiently, "Isn't it all because of your good daughter? She comes to confront me after hearing a few words from others."
It's clearly her who's being unreasonable!
Qin Shengyi glared at the person who spoke, knowing full well that her father's doting nature meant he would never speak up for her. With no point in arguing, she resolutely turned and left.
