"I...I didn't say anything, I was just offering a friendly reminder!" Zhou Jiaojiao immediately backed down, speaking in a barely audible voice to defend herself.
Zhou Shengyu gave the speaker a cold look. Seeing that more and more people were gathering around and that it was almost time, he led Shen Wei and Xu Yanshu onto the nearby T-stage.
"Welcome, everyone, to my wife Shen Wei's 50th birthday celebration. We have been married for 28 years now."
"And today I have another piece of good news to announce: we have finally found our biological son, Yan Shu. Yan Shu is half a month older than our younger son, Ze Hao, so from now on he is the eldest young master of our Zhou family."
At the same time, Zhou Zehao, at the host's suggestion, came to the vicinity of the runway. Looking at the family of three standing side by side, he curled his lips in an ambiguous way.
To prevent me from causing trouble, the old man specially gave me five property certificates last night, all for villas in prime locations. He was really generous.
In fact, he never intended to cause trouble today; if things escalated, it would be bad for everyone.
Noticing the meaningful gaze, Zhou Zehao suddenly snapped out of his thoughts. The moment he looked up, he met Xu Yanshu's eyes. He casually waved the champagne in his hand at the other man.
"Let's see how things unfold; the one who laughs last is the real winner."
"It was only by God's mercy that I found Yan Shu. I have wronged Yan Shu a lot over the years, and I will do my best to make up for it from now on. I will not allow anyone to slander or hurt my child again."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of enthusiastic applause erupted in the room.
Seeing Xu Yanshu in a suit and tie on the stage, Xie Huanyu felt a mix of emotions, and the smile on her lips inevitably had a hint of bitterness.
After all the waiting, Yan Shu was able to find her biological parents. Logically, she should be happy for them, but... she has already embarked on a new path in life, so it's even less likely that Xu Yan Shu will turn back to choose her, her old flame.
Lost in thought, Xie Huanyu suddenly felt someone pat her shoulder. She instinctively turned around and saw Zhou Zehao.
The two exchanged a knowing glance, and then Xie Huanyu followed the man away from the manor.
On stage, Xu Yanshu observed everything silently, his eyes deepening imperceptibly.
Zhou Zehao drove the car very fast along the way, and Xie Huanyu was so frightened that she clung desperately to the safety handrail next to her.
"Zhou Zehao, are you crazy? Stop the car right now!"
Once the anger in his chest had subsided, Zhou Zehao gradually reduced the car's speed. He turned and gave Xie Huanyu a look full of disdain.
"What were you yelling about? Weren't you so brave?"
As he spoke, Zhou Zehao impatiently tugged at his tie.
Ultimately, it was because he wasn't decisive enough. He should have let Xu Yanshu die in the capital back then; otherwise, none of this trouble would have happened.
I……
Xie Huanyu was still in shock and wanted to say something, but she couldn't utter a sound. The car was going so fast that she suspected Zhou Zehao was trying to drag her to her death.
Noticing the woman's ever-changing expression out of the corner of his eye, Zhou Zehao's mood suddenly improved. He raised an eyebrow with interest and teased, "..."
"Don't worry, even if I were to commit suicide, I'd take Xu Yanshu down with me!"
This Zhou Zehao is a complete madman!
Xie Huanyu frowned in disapproval, somewhat regretting that she had gotten together with this person again.
He had nearly strangled himself more than once before, and who knows what other heinous things he might do in the future.
No, he can't just leave like this, otherwise Xu Yanshu will take this opportunity to make trouble for him again.
After calming down, Zhou Zehao frowned thoughtfully, then decisively turned the car around. "Let's go, come with me to get a gift for the birthday boy!"
...
It was already evening after all the guests had left, and the cake-cutting ceremony was saved for last. Only then did Zhou Shengyu realize that Zhou Zehao was nowhere to be seen.
Where's Xiao Hao?
"Master, the second young master left halfway through the banquet!" the butler reported truthfully.
What?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shengyu's face suddenly darkened. It would be one thing if it were any other day, but what kind of day is this that he dares to act so recklessly!
"Call him and tell that little bastard to get the hell out of here right now..."
"Dad, who made you angry this time?" Zhou Zehao walked in casually from outside, keenly sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and asked with feigned confusion, "Today is Mom's birthday."
"You still know it's your mom's birthday today! Where have you been gallivanting off to this day?"
Zhou Zehao shrugged innocently, then waved the gift bag in his hand at the other person, "I'm going to pick up my mom's birthday present!"
"This is a cheongsam that I specially commissioned for my mother from designer Huang Ying. It was just finished today."
"Alright, I told you not to be so harsh on the child," Shen Wei patted Zhou Shengyu's shoulder and gently persuaded him. Then she took the things from Zhou Zehao's hands, her joy evident. "Designer Huang has been busy with exhibitions for the past six months. How did you manage to schedule his time?"
"I knew you liked it, so I was already communicating with Designer Huang at the beginning of the year, which is why I rushed to deliver the gift in time."
