Zhai Jiu nodded in response, "Brother, your second son is quite good at doing business."
Zhai Zhengrong smiled and said, "Then let him learn from you first, and wait for the day."
"Um,"
Zhai Jiu was about to get up and leave when Zhai Zhengrong seemed to have just remembered something and said, "Xiao Mo seems to like Xiao Xiao."
Zhai Jiu paused and his pupils shrank slightly.
Turning back, he confirmed: "Really?"
Zhai Zhengrong nodded, "It should be correct, the look in his eyes is different."
Zhai Jiu lowered his eyes and thought, "Brother, I'm going back first. Don't stay up too late and go to bed early."
After returning to his room, he lit another cigarette, took a puff, and sighed, "That's not right..."
When he found out that it was Zhai Yumo who arranged for Zhai Mu Ning to go to Jinshi, he didn't think much about it. After all, he knew how obsessed Mu Ning was with Chen Xingzhou. He thought that if she hit the wall, she would naturally come back after being hurt.
But now that I know this, it’s not that simple anymore.
There was a hint of coldness in his eyes. He just helped Mu Ning as she asked him to do so.
But if this kid is the one in charge, we can't just ignore it.
Brothers and sisters in a family can have their own little thoughts and can fight for things, but they cannot take advantage of or harm each other.
Zhai Jiu crushed the cigarette butt, stood up, and walked out of the study...
...
Anyang City.
That night.
Fu Yu heard a knock on the door, opened it, and saw the man smiling at him. His face turned cold for a moment, "What's the matter?"
Shen Xingzhou was dressed in black, and his voice was smiling: "I'm passing by and I'll bring you a bottle of good wine."
Fu Yu still had a bad face, and said sarcastically: "It's useless to show your courtesy to me. You'd better give up your thoughts, otherwise we won't be friends anymore..."
“Ayu, let’s not talk about this. Let me tell you that this wine is really good. It was brewed by a reclusive master craftsman,” Shen Xingzhou shamelessly put his arm around his neck and went straight into the yard.
Fu Yu elbowed him and heard a muffled groan. He squinted and saw sweat starting to form on Shen Xingzhou's forehead. He lifted his clothes and saw a wound on his abdominal muscle that was bleeding.
He said calmly, "Why don't you just stay here and take care of yourself when you're injured? Why do you have to come all the way here?"
Shen Xingzhou smiled indifferently: “It’s just a minor injury.”
At this time, Fu Weilun's voice came from the room: "Let him in,"
Fu Yu stepped aside to make way.
Shen Xingzhou smiled and patted his shoulder, then walked inside.
He called out to the man sitting on a chair in the main room, "Uncle Lun."
Fu Weilun said "hmm", turned around to look at him, and then said: "Sit down..."
He looked at Fu Yu, "Go get a glass of water..."
Shen Xingzhou sat on the stool and said with a smile: “Last time, I was too tight and didn’t have time to visit you,”
Fu Yu knew what he was thinking, so Fu Weilun couldn't hide it either. He had to make this trip. Compared to all the brothers in the Fu family, this one was the most important.
Fu Weilun looked at Shen Xingzhou with deep eyes, "Do you really mean what you said to A Yu?"
Shen Xingzhou sat upright and nodded solemnly when he heard this: “Uncle Lun, I am serious.”
"Still serving in the previous investigation team?"
"Yes, I will be transferred soon."
Fu Weilun's eyes were filled with sharp inquiry: "Oh? Promoted?"
Chen Xingzhou lowered his eyes: "Not really, I just went out on my own..."
I asked a few more questions and he answered them all truthfully.
Fu Weilun's eyelids drooped in deep thought, and he spoke slowly: "Xiaoxiao is our only daughter. She is responsible for many things, so her requirements for her partner will be very strict..."
Shen Xingzhou smiled and listened to him quietly, "I understand..."
"You may not understand what I mean," Fu Weilun smiled calmly, and then said, "Ability is one thing, but more importantly, that person should not complain about our excessive demands, and should always devote himself to Xiaoxiao."
Seeing that the smile on his face did not change, Fu Weilun continued to speak more forcefully: "Including...giving up some of a man's self-esteem."
After saying this, his eyes were like ink, staring straight at his reaction.
Shen Xingzhou smiled lightly: "Uncle Lun, I understand what you mean,"
Although it is obscure, what it means in plain words is that they are planning to find someone who is willing to marry into the family, and any children they may have must have the surname Fu Xiao.
In today's society, most men would indeed feel hurt by such conditions. No matter how grateful they appear on the surface, resentment in their hearts is inevitable.
But in Shen Xingzhou's opinion, so-called self-esteem is not given by others, but earned by oneself, so what outsiders say is actually not important.
He did not accept any help from the Mu family and achieved success on his own. This is his pride.
He wouldn't feel awkward when interacting with Fu Xiao in the future.
Only incompetent men are afraid of being looked down upon by others.
The girl he likes is so powerful, she will definitely be world famous in the future, and rumors are inevitable, but he will not complain about himself, nor will he give up. He will protect his self-esteem.
As long as he reaches a certain level, there is no need to care about those sour words.
He smiled and said solemnly: "For me, Fu Xiao comes first in everything."
Fu Weilun looked up at him, his eyes gradually changing from sharp and critical to appreciation and concern for a junior: "Is the injury serious? Do you need medical treatment?"
Shen Xingzhou pursed his lips and smiled: “Uncle Lun, no need, it’s just a minor injury.”
"Ayu, I asked you to pour water, where have you been..."
Fu Yu walked in from outside with a kettle and poured a glass of water for Shen Xingzhou expressionlessly.
