“Starting a business is a huge challenge, so let’s just do our best!” Xu Yanshu said sincerely, offering words of comfort.
Although he had already done some research on the subject through different channels, it was ultimately just theoretical.
Previously, he had only played a supporting role in the Xie family, but now he had to start from scratch as the backbone, so not only He Wen, but also He Wen felt a lot of pressure.
But no matter what, we have to try. We can't be controlled by others forever.
His gaze deepened, and Xu Yanshu suddenly felt a craving for a cigarette. He got up, went to the balcony, and lit one for himself.
He unexpectedly recalled the words of affection the little girl had uttered through the screen that day, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
Since the young lady didn't look down on him, a divorced old man, he naturally couldn't be too inferior. If he didn't talk about it, he really wouldn't have the confidence to meet Ouyang Ming.
His gaze gradually hardened as Xu Yanshu secretly planned what was to come.
Nothing is impossible for a willing heart; hopefully, he can make a name for himself in Chengdu through his own efforts.
...
The following day, Xie Huanyu received another call from Zhou Zehao.
Why would Jay Chou suddenly want to invite me to dinner?
“Because I told him you’d been pursuing me for a long time, so we’re dating now,” Zhou Zehao explained casually, a hint of amusement in his voice. “So maybe he wants to meet his future daughter-in-law sooner rather than later!”
Is this person mentally ill?
With her brows furrowed slightly, Xie Huanyu immediately glared fiercely at Zhou Zehao. How could she make up such nonsense?
The divorce couldn't be kept secret anytime soon, and she got involved with Zhou Zehao right after the divorce. Who knows how much resentment Zhou Shengyu will develop towards her?
Xie Huanyu's expression inevitably turned somewhat unpleasant. If she had known it would turn out like this, she would never have agreed to go to the airport with him to pick someone up last time.
Not only will they be threatened, but they will also be slandered and defamed.
Zhou Zehao remained nonchalant, raising an eyebrow with interest before saying, "What, overjoyed? Yeah, right, there are countless women outside waiting to become the young mistress of the Zhou family!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Huanyu couldn't help but roll her eyes. Seeing that the other person was about to reach out and put their arm around her shoulder, she leaned to the side first.
The Rolls-Royce came to a smooth stop in front of the Grand Hotel Beijing. The two got out of the car one after the other. Before taking a step, Zhou Zehao turned back and gave Xie Huanyu a cold look.
"I hope you will be mindful of what you should and shouldn't say later."
The cold gaze made Xie Huanyu's heart sink slightly, and she belatedly realized that she had acted too arrogantly in the car.
Faced with a ruthless killer like Zhou Zehao, one should always be vigilant, otherwise one might fall into an abyss of no return.
Upon arriving at the private room, they found Zhou Shengyu already sitting in the master bedroom.
Xie Huanyu cautiously nodded and greeted the person, "Chairman Zhou!"
"Sit down!" Zhou Shengyu nodded slightly in response, then waved his hand to signal the other person to sit down.
Xie Huanyu was about to pull out a chair when someone beat her to it. She turned around and saw Zhou Zehao looking at her with a doting expression, which made her feel a chill.
Zhou Zehao gently reminded him, "Sit down, what are you standing there for?"
Xie Huanyu then sat down smoothly, her eyes showing a greater degree of vigilance.
Something was definitely amiss. He really couldn't understand why Zhou Zehao would deliberately put on such a show for Zhou Shengyu.
After the waiter served all the dishes, Zhou Shengyu slowly spoke, "Huanyu, so are you managing the Xie Group all by yourself now?"
"Yes, my father officially handed over the management of the Xie Group to me six years ago," Xie Huanyu replied with a nod.
Cough cough—
Zhou Zehao coughed twice to interrupt, seemingly afraid that Xie Huanyu would be put in a difficult position, and said, "Dad, we're eating, let's not talk about work!"
This topic was thus brought to a close, and the father and son then chatted casually about recent business news.
"I'm going to the restroom, you guys chat!" With that, Zhou Zehao stood up from his seat, patted Xie Huanyu on the shoulder, and then turned and left the private room.
"Ms. Xie, if I may ask, how long did your last marriage last?"
Xie Huanyu paused for a moment, then calmly replied, "Five years."
Compared to the previous question, this is probably the question that Jay Chou really wants to ask right now!
Helpless, Xie Huanyu couldn't help but feel angry at Zhou Zehao. If it weren't for his nonsense, she wouldn't be here being questioned.
“Five years is not a short time,” Zhou Shengyu sighed, then changed the subject, “So whose fault was it mainly this time that led to the divorce?”
Xie Huanyu subconsciously moved her lips, but then, remembering that Zhou Shengyu was Yan Shu's biological father, she ultimately chose to tell the truth.
"It was me. Because I did some wrong things, Yan Shu couldn't bear it any longer and chose to file for divorce."
She had already wronged Xu Yanshu enough in many ways, so there was no reason for her to smear him after the divorce. Besides, she had never thought about anything happening between her and Zhou Zehao, so Zhou Shengyu's opinion of her was not that important.
Oh? Zhou Shengyu was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected to receive such a completely different answer.
