Turning back to the Zhou family, Zhou Shengyu immediately summoned Zhou Zehao and had someone bring out the family discipline that had not yet been used.
He rushed home, and when he saw the black whip lying to one side, his heart sank.
Do you know why I called you back?
After a moment of symbolic thought, Zhou Zehao tentatively asked, "Qin Yao contacted you?"
Aside from this incident, he couldn't think of anything else that could make the old man so furious.
The truth will eventually come out. Since the couple had already started investigating, the truth will surely come out sooner or later.
"You actually know that!" Zhou Shengyu's tone suddenly rose slightly, his anger intensifying. "Why did you do this? Can't you tolerate Yan Shu at all?"
No one knows a son better than his father. How could he not see such an obvious attempt to shift the blame?
He truly couldn't understand why he had raised such a shameless child, even though he had always been trying to maintain a balance between Xiao Hao and Yan Shu.
Zhou Zehao, with his hands still in his pockets, casually said, "I was just joking with Mu Yichen, I didn't expect him to actually do it."
"Ultimately, he did all the work; it really had little to do with me!"
Seeing that the other party was still denying it, Zhou Shengyu finally couldn't hold back anymore, turned around and picked up the whip to lash Zhou Zehao hard.
hiss--
Zhou Zehao was caught off guard and took a hard hit with the whip, falling to the ground in pain.
He unconsciously clenched his hands at his sides, a deep hatred flashing in his eyes.
"You're still denying it even now! Do you really think everyone else is a fool?"
Xu Yanshu had just returned to the Zhou family villa when he saw the scene before him, and was momentarily stunned.
Zhou Zehao casually pressed the tip of his tongue against his back teeth, then looked up at Zhou Shengyu in front of him, nodded noncommittally, and said...
"Yes, that's right, so what are you going to do with me, old man? Beat me to death?"
Treason!
Zhou Shengyu was so angry that his face turned red. He was about to raise the whip in his hand again, but Xu Yanshu stepped forward and stopped him in time.
"Dad, calm down, let's talk this out!"
When Zheng Yu mentioned that Qin Yao had arranged to speak with his father alone, he knew that some things could no longer be kept secret, which is why he rushed back from outside.
Zhou Zehao impatiently loosened his tie, looking at Xu Yanshu with a mocking gaze, "What are you pretending to be, you good guy? You're probably secretly laughing to yourself!"
He had done far worse things before, and the old man couldn't possibly be completely unaware of it, except that Xu Yanshu was involved.
Xu Yanshu didn't hold back at all in the face of such sarcastic remarks, and immediately retorted without hesitation, his brows furrowed with coldness.
"Everyone has to pay the price for their actions. Zhou Zehao, you will pay for your recklessness sooner or later."
"I can't and won't sympathize with you, I just don't want to see Dad get sick from all this!"
After speaking, Xu Yanshu turned to look at Zhou Shengyu, and seeing that the other party still looked furious, he quickly led his men upstairs.
"Dad, let's go upstairs and talk. Mom will be back soon, and we can't let her know about this."
He really never forgets to cultivate the image of a filial son!
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zehao couldn't help but scoff inwardly, a hint of mockery creeping into his deep eyes.
Yes, seeing that Weiwei is still recovering, she would definitely not be able to bear it if she knew what this unfilial son had done.
Zhou Shengyu suddenly calmed down and looked coldly at the person kneeling on the ground, "Go back to your room and reflect on your actions. I'll settle the score with you later!"
After saying that, Zhou Shengyu and Xu Yanshu turned around and went up to the study on the third floor one after the other.
Sitting back down at his desk, Zhou Shengyu looked at the person in front of him and asked with a confident tone,
"You already knew the whole story, didn't you? Then why didn't you tell me immediately?"
After this incident, besides regretting his lax discipline of Xiao Hao, he felt even more sorry for Yan Shu.
The Ouyang family already harbored prejudice against him. As his parents, they not only failed to help him in this matter, but also, because of Xiao Hao, the situation has turned out this way.
Xu Yanshu remained silent, his thin lips pressed down into a straight line.
He always believed that this was a grudge between him and Zhou Zehao, and that they should resolve it themselves. Involving Zhou Shengyu and Shen Wei would only complicate matters further.
"Yan Shu, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation!"
“Dad, we’re all adults. We can handle things in our own way,” Xu Yanshu said after considering it carefully. He paused for a moment, then continued, a thoughtful look in his eyes. “However, I think Xiaohao and I are probably destined to be unable to get along.”
He understood Zhou Shengyu's starting point as a father, but ideals are often far from reality; the two of them were on completely different footings from the beginning.
When this matter was brought up, Zhou Shengyu couldn't help but sigh, his brows furrowed with deep sorrow.
He genuinely hoped his two sons could get along peacefully, but forced relationships are never happy. Now that things have escalated to this point, he has no choice but to give up any unnecessary expectations.
"As I said before, both sides are my flesh and blood, and I will never favor one side over the other."
“I believe you are a sensible person. Do what you think is right, but for the sake of me and your mother, leave him a little chance.” As he finished speaking, Zhou Shengyu’s tone became increasingly guilty.
Knowing Xiao Hao's personality, and seeing that he is still so stubborn, I wonder how many more outrageous things he will cause in the future.
However, by saying this now, I am actually putting Yan Shu in a difficult position.
Seeing how embarrassed the other party was, Xu Yanshu felt a little uncomfortable.
"Dad, I promise you, even if we can't get along peacefully, Xiaohao and I will always be brothers. No matter what, I will never easily choose to kill him."
And that's exactly what he actually thought. He'd give face to the Buddha, even if he hated someone, he wouldn't really put them to death.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shengyu looked at Xu Yanshu with deep emotion, "Son, thank you! Your words are enough!"
"As a father, I would never allow you to suffer injustice for no reason."
