"If I refuse even this small request, does that give her the right to righteously refuse?"
That certainly makes sense! Ouyang Ming suddenly realized.
"Something's not right. Didn't you always side with Nannan on this issue before?" Qin Yao belatedly realized something was amiss, and she looked at the person in front of her with suspicion. "Why is your attitude like this today?"
This person still has the keen eye as always!
Ouyang Ming sighed inwardly, not intending to hide anything, "Do you remember the rumors circulating in the industry that the Zhou family is secretly looking for someone?"
"Of course I remember. It's said that she was lost at birth, which is why Zhou Zehao was adopted. These past few days... stop changing the subject."
"Xu Yanshu is the biological son that the Zhou family has been searching for for many years."
ah?
Qin Yao was stunned, momentarily speechless. "Are you sure you're not joking with me?"
"What's so funny about this?"
Ouyang Ming helplessly shrugged. Seeing that his wife still looked incredulous, he had no choice but to recount everything Zhou Shengyu had told him from beginning to end.
I never expected it to be like this! Qin Yao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Did he think that just because he became the young master of the Zhou family, I would agree to him being with Shengyi? Hah, this Xu Yanshu is really naive and laughable!"
Initially, she opposed the two being together because he didn't have a good background. But after seeing him over this period of time, she realized that Xu Yanshu was arrogant, lacked responsibility and commitment, and was not worthy of Shengyi entrusting her life to.
All of this means that even if Xu Yanshu became the Jade Emperor's biological son, she would not approve of it.
“Yes, not only Xu Yanshu thinks so, but what’s most infuriating is that Zhou Shengyu thinks so too,” Ouyang Ming nodded in deep agreement, his words filled with resentment, “Do they really think we’re selling our daughters?”
Qin Yao gave her a sidelong glance, annoyed. "Didn't you used to think Xu Yanshu was a good person and advocate giving him a chance?"
"I... that's why we say that all the important decisions in our family need your approval. My judgment and ability are definitely not as good as yours."
——
“Brother Yan Shu, I might have to go to the overseas branch for a while,” Qin Shengyi said at the opportune moment, and then quickly added, “But it won’t be too long, at most three or four months.”
Although her parents' reasons were quite valid, she still suspected that they wanted to use this incident to separate him from Yan Shu... but it was clearly inappropriate to mention this in front of Yan Shu.
Xu Yanshu seemed oblivious to this, quietly looking at Qin Shengyi with intense reluctance and longing in his eyes.
He hadn't expected Zhou Shengyu to go and negotiate with Ouyang Ming on his behalf, and he inevitably felt a little guilty.
Even though they had gone to such lengths, the other party's attitude remained unchanged, and they even started finding fault again, which made him unsure whether he should continue to persist.
"Brother Yan Shu, are you angry?" Not getting a response from the other party for a long time, Qin Shengyi looked up in confusion, noticed the man's unfriendly expression, and cautiously asked, "If you can't accept it, then I won't go."
Xu Yanshu suddenly came to his senses and saw Sheng Yi's anxious expression, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
He clearly couldn't solve the problem at hand, yet in the end, the young girl had to be so careful and accommodating towards him.
"No, I was just thinking about some work-related things." Xu Yanshu shook his head gently. He took Qin Shengyi's small hand, kissed it, and then let her lean on his shoulder. "Go ahead. I'll definitely come to see you when I have time."
I can always find a way to resolve the current situation... I've already missed one opportunity before, and I can't give up so easily now.
With her heart finally at ease, Qin Sheng nodded excitedly, then gave the man a charming smile, "You said it yourself, you can't lie to me! Otherwise I'll..."
Xu Yanshu raised an eyebrow with interest. "And what about you?"
"good!"
Cough cough—
A cough broke the sweet atmosphere between the young couple, and Zhou Shengyu stood alone at the studio door.
Feeling inexplicably caught doing something wrong, Qin Shengyi blushed deeply. She immediately stood up, and after calming herself slightly, she spoke...
"Hello, Uncle Zhou!"
Zhou Shengyu nodded slightly, his calm tone revealing neither joy nor anger, "I didn't expect Shengyi to be here too. I came to talk to Yan Shu about something!"
Witnessing this scene, Xu Yanshu felt somewhat embarrassed, only then remembering what Zhou Shengyu had said half an hour earlier.
"Then I won't bother you any longer!" Not wanting to continue this awkward situation, Qin Shengyi took the opportunity to leave, then quickly turned and glanced at Xu Yanshu, "Brother Yanshu, I'll be going now."
Xu Yanshu nodded slightly, calmly watching the other person leave.
"So Shengyi often sneaks over to see you like this?" Zhou Shengyu asked tentatively. After Xu Yanshu nodded, his expression suddenly turned serious. "This is utter nonsense!"
"Have you thought about what the consequences would be if her parents found out or if the media took pictures of it?"
The tactic of feigning one move while secretly making another is something no parent could accept, let alone the fact that the Ouyang family already harbored deep prejudices against Yan Shu.
