Are they here to act as intermediaries for Xu Yanshu?
Ouyang Sheng was slightly taken aback, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Zhou Shengyu was not one to meddle in other people's business, so why was he willing to plead for Xu Yanshu for no reason?
“Yan Shu is young and impetuous, and he may have offended you and your wife in some way before. Please forgive him!” As he spoke, Zhou Shengyu picked up his wine glass, his face full of sincere smiles. “But the two children still like each other, so shouldn’t we give them another chance?”
From his personal perspective, since things have already developed to this point, there's no need to force it any further.
But now it's obvious that Yan Shu still likes Sheng Yi. Before this, I hadn't fulfilled my duties and obligations as a father, so I can only try to help him out and make things easier for him now.
So what exactly is the relationship between Zhou Shengyu and Xu Yanshu that makes him willing to lower his stance so proactively in front of him?
Ouyang Ming's eyes seemed to be deep in thought. He picked up the wine glass beside him, raised it to the other person, and then took a small sip.
"Mr. Jay, if I may be so bold, what is your relationship with Yan Shu?"
"I believe you have heard some news before that Xiaohao and my wife and I are not actually related by blood."
“Back then, due to some misunderstandings, the child was taken away after he was born, and we have been looking for him all these years,” Zhou Shengyu waved his hand to indicate that he didn’t care. He had no intention of hiding it anyway, and immediately said the truth, “And Yan Shu is our biological son.”
this……
Ouyang Ming was shocked by the news.
He had indeed heard about the Zhou couple searching for someone before, but he never expected things to be so coincidental that Xu Yanshu was the Zhou family's biological son!
Using the corner of his eye to subtly observe the other person's expression, Zhou Shengyu continued, "As a fellow parent, I can actually understand how you and your wife feel."
"If Shengyi were my daughter, I would definitely want her to marry a young man of equal social standing,"
"But priceless treasures are easy to find, but true love is hard to come by. Since the two children like each other, shouldn't we, as parents, give them more autonomy?"
Ouyang Sheng frowned thoughtfully, hesitated for a moment, and then asked noncommittally, "You mean you think the reason we oppose it is because Xu Yanshu has no background?"
I don’t know if my wife has considered this, but I have never looked down on Xu Yanshu because of his background. Yet, this man has disappointed me time and time again.
Zhou Shengyu is a prominent figure in the outside world. If it weren't for Xu Yanshu's instructions or instigation behind the scenes, he wouldn't have thought of coming to say such things to him for no reason.
Ouyang Sheng secretly pieced together the situation in his mind, and his expression grew increasingly gloomy. He sighed inwardly, thinking that like father, like son.
Although the Zhou family has some influence in Rongcheng, they are not yet on par with our family. So even if Xu Yanshu is indeed the Zhou family's biological son, it can't be said that they are a good match.
That's not what I meant...
"Hmph, Mr. Jay Chou, we are both respectable people, so some things are better left unsaid."
“Yan Shu is indeed more capable than most young people, but he is ultimately immature in his conduct and actions. My wife and I only have this one daughter, so naturally we want to entrust her to an absolutely reliable person!”
Unexpectedly, the other party spoke so rudely, and Zhou Shengyu's smile froze, while he unconsciously clenched his hands under the table.
Unsure whether the person in front of him was deliberately misinterpreting his words, and hearing his words belittling Yan Shu, he couldn't help but feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now!" With that, Ouyang Sheng stood up from his seat.
No sooner had Ouyang Ming stepped out of the private room than he ran into Xu Yanshu. This coincidence only confirmed his suspicions.
Only now did he truly agree with his wife's conclusion: this man was indeed unworthy of his daughter.
Xu Yanshu also noticed Ouyang Ming. He took the initiative to walk towards him and nodded respectfully in greeting, "Uncle, you..."
"Too much scheming is too clever; young people should use their energy on the right path."
"I won't hide anything anymore. We will absolutely not approve of Shengyi being with you, and Shengyi will soon be returning to the overseas branch." After saying this, Ouyang Ming decisively turned and left.
He could sense that Ouyang Ming's anger was directed at him, but why?
For a moment, Xu Yanshu was confused and stood there in a daze, only remembering that the other party said Shengyi would go to the overseas branch.
The next second, someone patted him on the shoulder.
Zhou Shengyu was somewhat surprised to run into Yan Shu here. "Yan Shu, what are you doing here?"
"I just finished meeting with our partners this morning, so I decided to have lunch here."
Xu Yanshu was also surprised for a moment. After regaining his senses, he answered the other party truthfully. Then, thinking about what had just happened, he hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking, "I saw Uncle Ouyang just now. You two wouldn't have been together, would you?"
When asked about this, Zhou Shengyu's face showed a hint of unease.
Although I'm very annoyed by some people's condescension, upon closer reflection, I realize that what I just said does seem to be prone to ambiguity.
