With that, Mu Yichen stepped on the gas and slowly started the car. Only after leaving the villa area did he dial Zhou Zehao's number.
"Brother, I think the plan you mentioned before is quite good. Do you have any trustworthy people on your side?"
Since these people all disregard him, he has no choice but to resort to drastic measures. He is determined to get his hands on Qin Shengyi.
As he pondered, a dangerous glint flashed in Mu Yichen's eyes—
...
"Brother Yan Shu, are you really sure you want to go back to the Zhou family?"
Xu Yanshu nodded firmly, "Yes, after getting to know them over this period of time, I feel that the Zhou family is not as cold and terrible as I imagined, and I don't want to experience the pain of wanting to care for my parents but finding them gone again."
Only after returning to the Zhou family could he truly and legitimately keep her by his side, a consideration that he naturally couldn't let Shengyi know.
Qin Shengyi carefully observed Xu Yanshu's expression and breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that the other party did not show any signs of reluctance.
She was afraid that Yan Shu had only made this decision because her mother had deliberately made things difficult for him...
"I've already explained things to Mu Yichen, and he probably won't bother me easily anymore, so you don't need to worry,"
As if suddenly remembering something, Qin Shengyi spoke up to himself, pausing slightly before saying, "Don't blame Zhengyu for this, after all, he was only thinking of us back then."
“Of course I know that,” Xu Yanshu nodded readily, then belatedly realized something was amiss and asked in confusion, “Why do you think I would blame him for this?”
"Because Jung-woo said you were very angry about it..."
Xu Yanshu was momentarily speechless, then raised an eyebrow with interest and said, "Looks like I can sue him for defamation!"
“I was just a little harsh with my tone that day, and I already apologized to him sincerely. How could he still mislead you like that? Do I look like such an unreasonable person?”
Without Jiang Zhengyu's support, he and Shengyi might not have made it this far, and he was well aware of how much Jiang Zhengyu loved and cared for his younger sister.
This situation was created by a series of unforeseen circumstances, and he probably feels more guilty than anyone else. In the end, it's not his fault that this happened.
She said that Brother Yan Shu wouldn't be so petty...
Realizing belatedly that he had been tricked, Qin Shengyi instantly became furious. "Jiang Zhengyu is such a boring guy. He has nothing better to do than spread rumors out of thin air."
Seeing the little girl's pufferfish-like appearance, Xu Yanshu couldn't help but chuckle. His gaze towards Shengyi grew even more doting as he reached out and ruffled her long hair.
"Okay, don't be angry. He was probably just joking with you. My attitude was indeed not good at the time!"
Qin Shengyi was appeased in a second. She glanced at her watch and tentatively said, "Brother Yan Shu, I think I should go home."
Xu Yanshu felt a moment of disappointment, but then, as always, he escorted the person downstairs. Only when they were about to part did he suddenly remember something.
"Shengyi, I plan to find some time to have a good talk with my uncle!"
Compared to Qin Yao, Ouyang Ming is clearly the easier person to communicate with. As for expediency, if they can win Ouyang Ming over to his and Sheng Yi's side, things might go much more smoothly from here on out.
But my father's ideas had absolutely no influence...
Qin Shengyi hesitated for a moment, looking at the other party's eager expression, but he couldn't bear to say it. After all, all his efforts were for them to be able to be together legitimately.
"Okay, then I'll send you my dad's WeChat later!"
Sincerity can move mountains; perhaps if they are sincere enough, things will take a different turn.
Watching Shengyi drive away in her pink Mercedes, Xu Yanshu's expression softened slightly. He was about to turn around and go upstairs when someone called him back.
"Openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass, brother, I have to admit you really know how to play this game!" Zhou Zehao said with interest, while slowly walking forward.
Xu Yanshu narrowed his eyes, his expression full of unease. "What exactly are you trying to say?"
“I didn’t mean to say anything,” Zhou Zehao shrugged nonchalantly, “I just felt that you weren’t loyal enough, brother.”
"Since you've already decided to go home, why didn't you tell me? I only found out about this from the old man."
Old man?
Xu Yanshu frowned slightly, not expecting Zhou Zehao to address Zhou Shengyu in such a way in private.
"All my previous actions were for self-preservation. I never intended to compete with you for anything, and I will continue to do so in the future."
I didn't explain it before because I thought it was unnecessary, but seeing that they are about to live under the same roof, it's necessary to clarify some things in advance.
If they continue like this, the only ones who will suffer will be Zhou Shengyu and Shen Wei.
What a fine way to say they never thought of arguing about anything!
Zhou Zehao nodded noncommittally, his face instantly turning completely gloomy.
To subdue the enemy without fighting—this Xu Yanshu is humiliating.
"Xu Yanshu, can you stop being so hypocritical?" Zhou Zehao said dismissively, his eyes full of contempt. "If you could just be honest, I might still respect you as a man!"
"I came to Chengdu for victory..."
"If you didn't have some ulterior motives, why would you go through all the trouble of moving from Beijing to Chengdu? And why would you repeatedly use Huang Dongsheng's name to show your face in front of that old man?"
