Chapter 431: Propriety, righteousness, integrity, do you have it?

"Her last name is Zhou! I gave her the name she married, so of course she is the granddaughter of our Zhou family!"

Old Mrs. Zhou made no secret of her disgust for Song Chengran, "You are a peasant who crawled out of a mountain ravine, and you think that you are a superior person just because you put on the coat of a PhD from Q University, opened a company, and have a little money? I tell you, our Zhou family has wealth that you can't earn in your entire life! A nouveau riche like you is not worthy of my granddaughter at all."

Song Chengran nodded.

"I agree with what the old lady said. My family background is indeed not as good as the Zhou family, but there is one thing that the entire Zhou family cannot compare to me."

Old lady Zhou frowned and looked at him, as if it was impossible. "What?"

"Treat Jiahui with sincerity!"

Song Chengran said frankly, "I like Zhou Jiahui, love her, protect her, respect her and pity her. I want to take care of her all my life, make her happy and worry-free all her life, and always smile..."

Old lady Zhou looked down on her.

"Your illusory sincerity is useless in front of money. How can you be romantic without money? How can you take care of her all your life without money? How can you make her happy without money? It's just a dream."

"The Zhou family is rich, but how much can they spend on me?"

Zhou Jiahui clenched her hands, her nails pressed into her palms, and the sharp pain made her frown.

She raised her eyes to meet the disgust of Old Lady Zhou, "Grandma, since I can remember, my mother and I come here once a month, waiting for your charity like beggars. My mother only has a few sets of clothes all year round. In the winter, there is not even a charcoal brazier in her room. When asked, my mother said she was not cold. If she is not cold, why are her hands full of frostbite?!"

"Zhou Jiahui! How do you talk to me? You are you and she is she. You are a child of the Zhou family. Have I treated you badly?" Old Lady Zhou scolded.

Zhou Jiahui took a deep breath and smiled at Old Lady Zhou.

However, that smile was filled with sadness and powerless anger. Her eyes were red, but she stubbornly refused to let the tears flow out. "Grandma, that's my mother! My biological mother who gave birth to me and raised me! Have you ever thought that I would be sad when you say that?"

Old Mrs. Zhou frowned, and seeing her granddaughter's emotional excitement, she glanced at Zhou's mother impatiently.

That look seemed to mean, 'I should have separated these two people earlier.'

"I shouldn't have handed my granddaughter over to you for raising..."

"My mother gave birth to me. If she doesn't raise me, who will raise me?"

Zhou Jiahui smiled without much smile, raised her hand and quickly wiped away the tears in her eyes, "Raised by that mistress outside now?"

"Zhou Jiahui, how can you talk like that?"

Zhou's father came in from outside. As soon as he entered the door, he heard his eldest daughter slandering his lover like that. He frowned and glanced at Zhou's mother.

Behind Zhou's father, followed a woman wearing a bamboo green cheongsam and a slender figure.

Behind the woman, there were several men and women who looked somewhat similar to the two.

It was obvious at a glance that they were their children.

Zhou's father walked closer and called Zhou Jiahui, "Apologize to your Aunt Xue, quickly."

"Father, if I don't call her mistress, what should I call her?" Zhou Jiahui stiffened her neck and confronted Zhou's father.

Before Father Zhou could get angry, his children were already unhappy.

"Zhou Jiahui, my mother is my father's wife recognized by the public, your mother is the mistress!"

"Yes, the one who is not loved is the mistress..."

Zhou Jiahui laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes, and she applauded the two of them, "You are great, the one who is not loved is the mistress, that's a very good point..."

"Excuse me, where is your parents' marriage certificate? Does the one who is recognized by the public mean she is the wife? Or should I let my mother divorce him first?" When the topic of

divorce was mentioned, no one dared to say a word.

Old Mrs. Zhou was very angry, and felt that her well-behaved granddaughter was corrupted by her mother. "Zhou Jiahui, don't you know that your mother is your father's life? You are not asking them to divorce, you are trying to kill your father!"

"Grandma, so you knew that too."

Zhou Jiahui laughed sarcastically and looked around at everyone. "We, mother and daughter, have never interfered with you. Allowing you to use the name of the Zhou family's main wife to bully others doesn't mean we will let you do whatever you want!"

She looked at Old Lady Zhou with uncontrollable sadness in her eyes. "Grandma, you often say that you are the one who loves me the most in this family. If you really love me, don't stop me from pursuing my own happiness. This marriage is my own decision and has nothing to do with my mother."

Old Lady Zhou frowned and wanted to say something, but Zhou Jiahui raised her hand to stop her.

"If you want your son to live a good life in the second half of his life, don't let these dirty things hang around my mother. Otherwise, my mother doesn't care, and I will seek justice for her."

"You!" Old Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Zhou's father glanced at Song Chengran and called Zhou Jiahui, "Your grandmother is doing this for your own good. He is not as good as the second-generation official I introduced to you. He..."

"He can let your son go into politics and bring projects to the Zhou family, right?" Zhou Jiahui asked back.

Zhou's father looked at her, "Only when the Zhou family is good can you be good. This complements each other. Don't you understand this principle?"

"I don't understand. This Zhou family is not my mother's and my Zhou family. It's your Zhou family. I just took the surname Zhou..." Zhou Jiahui quickly retorted.

The woman who had been following Zhou's father without saying anything chuckled, "Miss Zhou, this Zhou family provided you with the money you needed to study abroad, and made you and your mother worry-free about food and clothing. How come you despise them so much?"

"Who are you talking to me with?"

Zhou Jiahui got angry as soon as she heard the woman's words. Her whole body tensed up, and she was ready to attack regardless of her life or death.

The woman looked at Zhou's father aggrievedly, and then at Old Lady Zhou.

Zhou's father slammed the table, "She is my most beloved woman, and my wife who is recognized by the outside world, is..." "

Has it been included in the family tree?" Zhou Jiahui turned the gun around and pointed it at Zhou's father.

Zhou's father choked.

Zhou Jiahui sneered, "If you have the guts, remove my mother's name from your Zhou family's genealogy and write hers instead! If you don't have the guts, don't let her come in front of me and yell at me! Otherwise, I'll scold her every time I see her! You're just a fool..."

"Zhou Jiahui!"

Zhou's father shouted, "Don't go too far!"

"Is this too much? You are not too much, but your Zhou family is not too much?! What did my mother do wrong? If you don't love or like her, you can just not marry her! On the one hand, you believed the old Taoist's words to survive and trapped my mother in the Zhou family, and on the other hand, you treated her as a survival device. If she didn't do what you wanted, you deducted her monthly salary and let us mother and daughter fend for ourselves. My mother must have kowtowed to you in secret and begged for mercy for me, right?"

Zhou's father looked a little unnatural. He glanced at the mistress and then at Mrs. Zhou.

Zhou Jiahui closed her eyes and stared at Zhou's father hatefully, "Why did you touch my mother? Why did you give birth to me..."

Zhou's father was stunned by the hatred in her eyes. After a while, he became angry out of shame.

"Zhou Jiahui, I gave birth to you and raised you, and a child should not blame his parents. You..." "

...Just because I don't fight with them doesn't mean I can't or dare not fight! I am the legitimate heir of the Zhou family, and they...you'd better watch out and don't mess with me, otherwise, I will let everyone in Beijing know how dirty the Zhou family is!"

Zhou Jiahui looked directly at the mistress and sneered coldly, "And you, you'd better keep your tail between your legs. If you dare to come to me and say these specious and divisive words again, believe it or not, I will make the fact that you are a mistress public?"

"...My mom and dad truly love each other, and love does not distinguish between first come first served." The mistress's child muttered softly.

Zhou Jiahui glanced over and sneered, "Love is not about who comes first, but about courtesy, righteousness, and integrity. Do you have that?"
