As luck would have it, just as Huang Dongsheng and Xu Yanshu turned around to head back home, they ran into Zhou Zehao, who was driving up at the gate.
"Uncle Huang, did you come to see my mother with my older brother? Why didn't you tell me before you came?" Zhou Zehao said with a forced smile.
Huang Dongsheng's face immediately darkened. He gave a noncommittal snort and said, "Zhou Zehao, what do you mean by this? Does this mean I need to report to you in advance where I'm going?"
"Even your father wouldn't dare speak to me like that, so you'd better think carefully about your own worth!"
The forced smile on Zhou Zehao's face inevitably faded, but he didn't really take those words to heart, after all, Huang Dongsheng had never liked him.
He turned to look at Xu Yanshu, as if he had suddenly remembered something, "Big brother, I heard that Miss Qin is getting married soon, you'll be there, right?!"
"I didn't expect you to be so fond of meddling in other people's business!" Xu Yanshu narrowed his eyes meaningfully and said in a low voice.
Zhou Zehao raised his hands as if surrendering, feigning ignorance, "That's a real misunderstanding."
"I was just asking casually, and I was just showing concern for you!"
The more he acted as if he was deeply wary, the more he hoped that Mu Yichen could actually win Qin Shengyi over. He believed that Xu Yanshu's expression at that time would be a hundred times more interesting than it was now.
"After all, I am still your elder. Let me give you a piece of advice: don't be too clever for your own good."
"If you only focus on scheming against others, you'll only end up trapping yourself in your own web!"
After saying that, Huang Dongsheng turned to look at Xu Yanshu, his serious expression softening considerably. "Yanshu, let's go!"
As he watched the two people get into the car and drive away, Zhou Zehao's aura gradually turned cold.
Finally, he gave a disdainful snort: "You cunning old bastard!"
If I really do nothing, wouldn't that be tantamount to handing over the entire Zhou family to Xu Yanshu?
After regaining his senses, Zhou Zehao turned around and went up to the third-floor ward. When he arrived, the elderly couple were chatting about something with great emotion. When they saw him, their expressions paused in unison.
"Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?" Zhou Zehao strolled down the street and asked casually as he walked in. He then brought up the chance encounter, "I ran into Uncle Huang and my older brother downstairs!"
The couple paused unexpectedly, and Shen Wei waved her hand awkwardly before exclaiming, "Really? That's quite a coincidence!"
"Your Uncle Huang said he would come over a long time ago, and he happened to run into Yan Shu today. He even asked about your recent situation!"
Ask him?
A dark glint flashed in Zhou Zehao's ink-black pupils. He curled his lips indifferently, probably thinking about how to help Xu Yanshu plot against him!
"So did your older brother say when he's going home?"
Zhou Shengyu was stunned. He never expected that Xiao Hao would take the initiative to ask about this matter. Unsure of what the other party was thinking, he didn't answer for a moment.
Shen Wei didn't think too much about it and answered truthfully, "Yan Shu wants to wait until his studio is more stable before talking about this matter. Although your father and I are looking forward to it, we don't intend to force him."
Zhou Zehao nodded as if he understood, and pressed the tip of his tongue against his back molars.
Now that everything is out in the open, he still has to put on airs at the last minute. I have to admit that Xu Yanshu's methods are really clever.
"Yes, I also hope that my older brother can come back soon, so that our family can be truly reunited. Then he can come to the hospital to see Mom anytime!"
Then we won't have to rack our brains to squeeze in every available space like we do now.
Unexpectedly, her son said such a thing. Shen Wei nodded with relief, her eyes brimming with tears of emotion. "Xiao Hao, you've really grown up!"
"Really? If that's what you think, then ask my dad to scold me less in the future!" Zhou Zehao shrugged dismissively.
Zhou Shengyu was both amused and exasperated. "I don't think I've scolded you recently!"
——
Mu Yichen began to appear frequently at the Ouyang family home, hoping to increase the Ouyang couple's favorability towards him, but things did not develop as he had imagined.
"Yichen, how come you have time to come here every day? Don't you have anything to do?" Qin Yao asked casually, seemingly trying to probe.
Sensing the ill intent behind the question, Mu Yichen was momentarily at a loss for words. After stammering for a while, he finally managed a halting reply.
"There aren't any big projects at the company lately, so I've been quite free. Also, I want to spend more time with Shengyi these days!"
Although he came over every day, Qin Shengyi would always find various excuses to avoid him, so they didn't actually have many opportunities to be alone together, let alone find an opportunity to carry out his plans.
Qin Yao nodded as if she understood. "I see. But I think men should focus more on their careers. What do you think?"
To truly understand someone within their circle, one must employ certain special methods.
She asked around and found out that although Mu Yichen held the position of vice president in his own company, he did nothing of substance. The fact that he could still gain a good reputation while being so idle was clearly suspicious.
