Zhou Shuyan briefly explained the situation of the Lu family.

"She really had it hard." Xu Jingmin sighed, but she admired Lu Youxi even more. "Under such circumstances, she was able to save herself and get into Peking University. This girl will definitely achieve great things in the future."

Xu Jingmin really admires this spirit of self-reliance and self-help.

However, when she heard Zhou Shuyan mention the little girl, she thought it was Grandma Xu's granddaughter or something like that, a very young child.

But I didn't expect that I was already a college student.

However, Zhou Shuyan is his son after all.

Xu Jingmin did not ignore his fleeting reaction when Zhou Shuyan mentioned the little girl who saved him just now.

"What's her name? Is she pretty?" Xu Jingmin asked, staring carefully at Zhou Shuyan's reaction.

"..." Zhou Shuyan said helplessly, "Mom, don't even think about going to school to look for her."

He was not afraid that Lu Youxi would be scared. With Lu Youxi's courage, he estimated that even if Mr. Zhou went to find her, she would not be scared.

He would be a little nervous if Xu Jingmin went to see Lu Youxi without any warning.

As for what he was nervous about, Zhou Shuyan couldn't say.

"Oh, so precious? Are you afraid that I will scare her?" Xu Jingmin raised her eyebrows.

This action is exactly the same as Zhou Shuyan's eyebrow raising action.

"What are you talking about?" Zhou Shuyan shook his head helplessly, but couldn't say any more words to refute.

Then Xu Jingmin said, "If I sponsor her to go to college, will she agree? Since her family is so poor, I will cover all her tuition and living expenses. She is a good student, and the scholarship she gets can be used as pocket money for herself."

Xu Jingmin listened to what Zhou Shuyan said, on the one hand to repay Lu Youxi, on the other hand she also felt that it was not easy for Lu Youxi to be admitted to Peking University under such difficult circumstances.

From what he said, it seemed that Zhou Shuyan admired Lu Youxi.

Xu Jingmin believes in Zhou Shuyan's vision.

He thought it was good, so Lu Youxi must be good too.

Moreover, Lu Youxi has such a strong willpower and perseverance. Her life has been so difficult in the past eighteen years, and Xu Jingmin wants to make it easier for her.

"What's the reason? She will definitely ask clearly. If it's because of me, she won't agree." Zhou Shuyan said, "She believes in her own ability and doesn't need to rely on others to give her money. When I came here, I was worried that she didn't have a mobile phone and it would be inconvenient for her to live in the capital. If something happened or she was in danger, it would be more convenient to have a mobile phone. But I knew her character would not accept this, so I specially picked a mobile phone worth one thousand yuan for her. Who knew she would not accept it. In the end, I told her to make money and then pay me back for the mobile phone, and she accepted it."

"She's a very strong-willed girl!" Xu Jingmin said, and then she said, "Oh, but you know her very well!"

"The village is not big, and I know the villagers quite well," said Zhou Shuyan.

"Then tell me, what other stories are there in the village?" Xu Jingmin became interested.

The old man also lives in the village, but the village next to the imperial capital is wealthy. Although the villagers don’t know the old man’s true identity, they can see him spending money and although they can’t guess that he is extremely wealthy, they can tell that he should be quite wealthy.

So I am usually quite polite to the old man, and there isn’t as much news about Hexing Village every day.

After all, the old man is an outsider, so if anyone has gossip, no one will go and tell him.

But it’s different with Hexing Village, it’s really a small village that has not yet escaped poverty.

Aunt Liu, who lives next door to the Lu family, is kind-hearted. Aunt Lin is also kind-hearted but more gossipy.

Mr. Zhou ate in silence.

After dinner, when Aunt Yao was cleaning up the kitchen, the old man said to Zhou Shuyan, "Shuyan, come with me to the study."

Zhou Shuyan nodded and followed the old man to the study.

After closing the door, the old man said, "When we were having dinner earlier, I heard you say that it was your second uncle who did it this time?"

If Zhou Xueyi really attacks his family, the old man will not tolerate him.

"I have suspicions, but I have no evidence." Zhou Shuyan had no intention of hiding it, "So I will find evidence."

The old man supported his crutches with both hands and nodded, "Only with evidence can we legitimately exclude your second uncle from Chengzhou. Your second uncle's business over the years is not in vain. There are forces supporting him both in the family and in the group. If there is no evidence, it will not be convincing to rely on speculation alone. It is impossible to completely kick him out of the group without reason. If he cannot be kicked out completely, it is meaningless."

"I know." Zhou Shuyan nodded. As long as the old man didn't stop him, it would be fine.

The old man suddenly smiled and raised his eyes towards Zhou Shuyan, "Do you think I will protect your second uncle?"

"We are all family." Zhou Shuyan said without disguising, "I am your grandson, and my second uncle is also your son."

"But you are also your father's only son." The old man said slowly, "You are the only one he left behind."

In the old man’s heart, Zhou Shuyan’s father is always the most important.

"Besides, he wants your life." The old man exhaled slowly, "I don't care if he fights with you, as long as it's a fair competition. He can also serve as a whetstone for you."

“But when it comes to life, it is not something that can be defended.” The old man said in a deep voice.

Zhou Shuyan didn't reply.

He knew that the old man was not only talking about Zhou Xueyi, but also about him.

The old man was also warning him that if he wanted to deal with Zhou Xueyi, he could.

The old man can accept any kind of fight, but no harm to his life.

Zhou Shuyan understood why Zhou Xueyi was still the old man’s son.

The so-called inter-generational kinship is simply because he is his father's son.

The old man looked at Zhou Shuyan, and seeing that Zhou Shuyan had no intention of replying, he also knew Zhou Shuyan's choice.

The old man suddenly laughed, patted Zhou Shuyan on the shoulder, and left the study.

"Dad, are you leaving now?" Xu Jingmin's voice came from outside.

"Yes, just come to make sure Shu Yan is okay." said the old man.

Zhou Shuyan also left the study and saw the old man off at the entrance.

The two of them behaved as if nothing had happened.
