But apart from this method, he and Shengyi currently have no other opportunity to meet...
Thinking this to himself, Xu Yanshu did not actually say anything, because he knew very well that this approach was not appropriate.
So, what are your thoughts right now?
Xu Yanshu naturally understood the other party's implied meaning, and after a moment of silence, he replied, "I don't want to give up like this."
He wasn't the only one facing these difficulties; Sheng Yi must have been under far more psychological pressure than he was.
The little girl hadn't shown any sign of giving up on herself, so he couldn't back down so easily.
Having just noticed the way Yan Shu looked at the other person, Zhou Shengyu was not surprised at all by such a statement. He would naturally not stop the child, but there were some things that still needed to be made clear.
“This is your own feeling, and neither your mother nor I will interfere with your personal opinions. But I must remind you here that as a man, you must be responsible for your actions.”
"If you choose to persevere, then no matter what happens later, you cannot think about breaking up with the other person, otherwise it will cause greater harm to Shengyi and yourself."
He understands this principle.
Xu Yanshu nodded thoughtfully, then looked up at Zhou Shengyu with gratitude and said sincerely,
"Dad, thank you!"
He thought Zhou Shengyu would explain the pros and cons to him so that he could give up the relationship, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing. He had to admit that such an attitude greatly encouraged him.
"Don't worry, we will unconditionally support all your decisions," Zhou Shengyu nodded, then reached out and patted his son's shoulder reassuringly.
"By the way, your mom will be discharged from the hospital soon, and her birthday is right after that. When do you think she can come home?"
“Then I’ll go back for Mom’s birthday!” Xu Yanshu gave his answer after a moment’s consideration. His eyes deepened imperceptibly, and then he tentatively asked, “Could we keep my identity a secret for now?”
Not to be made public?
Zhou Shengyu was slightly surprised; he hadn't expected Yan Shu to have such thoughts.
He naturally wanted to bring his child home legitimately. Heaven knows how long he and his wife had been waiting for this day. If they didn't make a formal explanation to the outside world, as Yan Shu visited the Zhou family more and more often, it would inevitably arouse suspicion and gossip.
"Yan Shu, why do you have such thoughts?"
"I... I haven't achieved anything yet, and I'm worried that I might bring shame to the Zhou family!"
Zhou Shengyu paused for a moment, then waved his hand dismissively, "Child, you're worrying too much. No matter who you are, you're a member of the Zhou family."
"From now on, the Zhou family will always be your support."
——
"It's said that Qin Shengyi will be going abroad soon, and now your chance has come," the man said, raising an eyebrow with interest.
"Is the information reliable?" Xie Huanyu asked with some skepticism, then seemed to suddenly remember something, "Weren't you helping that guy surnamed Mu come up with ideas? And from what you're saying, it seems like none of them have been effective?"
Mentioning Mu Yichen, she couldn't help but recall the lecherous look he had given her last time, and a deep sense of disgust flashed between her brows.
The reason she hadn't gone to see Xu Yanshu during this time was because she needed to oversee the new projects that her company had taken on, so she had to make a temporary trip back to Kyoto.
Therefore, Xie Huanyu began to consider whether to move most of the company's business to Chengdu.
It wasn't just for Xu Yanshu; she also wanted to start over in a different city, and currently, Chengdu has much greater potential for development than Beijing.
Sensing the gloating in her words, Zhou Zehao's lips darkened, and he glanced at the woman with a chilling look.
"You probably don't know this yet, but Xu Yanshu will be returning to the Zhou family soon!"
Is it true or false?
Xie Huanyu was taken aback upon hearing this, as Yan Shu had not seemed to have shown this intention before.
A strange glint flashed quickly in the depths of her eyes, and she asked casually, "So what do you plan to do?"
"What, are you going to tip him off?" Zhou Zehao asked in a sarcastic tone, having guessed what the other was thinking. He then waved his hand dismissively, "So what if he comes back? It saves those two old guys from watching him anxiously."
"When soldiers come, we'll block them with generals; when water comes, we'll build earthen fortifications. It's all about adapting to circumstances!"
He had noticed the old man watching him intentionally or unintentionally long before this, and since he had already noticed, she naturally couldn't just hand over her weaknesses to him.
When Zhou Zehao thought of the other party's righteous assurance that he would not easily let Xu Yanshu interfere in the group's affairs, he scoffed at it, and his eyes were filled with a hint of mockery.
They say that, but aren't they secretly giving Xu Yanshu resources and projects?
Unexpectedly, Xie Huanyu coughed awkwardly twice, then turned her face away uncomfortably.
Although Yan Shu is very capable, he is definitely not as good as Zhou Zehao when it comes to scheming and plotting, so he is inevitably worried that the other party will suffer a loss at Zhou Zehao's hands.
Taking in Xie Huanyu's expression, Zhou Zehao chuckled to himself and said, "I didn't realize Miss Xie was so loyal and righteous."
"you……"
"Alright, I won't waste any more words with you. Today our Empress Dowager is returning to the palace, and I need to go back to greet her."
