Chapter 106 An unreliable son fathered an even more unreliable grandson.
He rambled on and on until Zhou Mingshi's phone stopped ringing, then he finally shut up.
The couple exchanged a glance and then ignored the phone.
Lin Yi'an stood behind Zhou Mingshi, gently massaging his shoulders and neck: "Does it hurt like this?"
Her pressure was just right; even if it hurt, it was only a slight soreness. He said, "It doesn't hurt much."
Grandma Lin came out and, seeing the situation, asked, "Is Mingshi's neck uncomfortable?"
Lin Yi-an: "I have a bit of a stiff neck."
Grandma Lin: "Then you can give him a massage."
Lin Yi'an: "Mm."
After massaging the shoulders and neck, I massaged the arms.
Zhou Kanghui sat next to his son watching a video, glancing at them occasionally and asking his son, "Is An'an alright?"
Zhou Mingshi opened his eyes and looked at him: "What do you want to say?"
Lin Yi'an smiled and glanced at the father and son.
Zhou Kanghui: "Your neck is uncomfortable, and An'an even massaged it for you. You should cherish such a good wife."
That trending topic was a setup, so let it go. Just make sure nothing like that happens again.
Zhou Mingshi: "Don't worry, I'm like a mother, not a father."
Zhou Kanghui's face turned red with anger. Did he mean that someone like him would be unreliable? Someone like his mother, on the other hand, wouldn't?
He snorted, "Just treat An'an well."
Lin Yi'an glanced at the father and son again, then decided to remain silent.
Zhou Mingshi was somewhat surprised, not expecting his father to really like Yi'an. A hint of pleasure appeared in his eyes: "It seems that Yi'an is more likable than me."
He'd been a father and son for over twenty years, and he'd never been able to protect him. But after only a month of marriage to Yi'an, he'd already started taking on the role of a father.
Zhou Kanghui gave him a cool look: "You're only just finding out?"
Zhou Mingshi said, "Yi'an has always been lovable, but you are different..."
Zhou Kanghui snorted, "You five siblings, your eldest brother and sister ignore me, you often make sarcastic remarks to me, Mingyuan only makes stupid mistakes and often makes me clean up his messes, and Jiajia is only sweet-talking when she asks me for money, otherwise she ignores me."
"Only An'an buys me clothes, gives me pocket money, brings me my favorite drinks, and always talks to me with a smile, treating me like a father. I'm not stupid..."
Zhou Mingshi looked at Lin Yi'an: "Did you buy clothes for Dad?"
Lin Yi'an explained, "Dad doesn't have many clothes here. It's the change of seasons, so I bought him some clothes to bring over this time."
Zhou Mingshi held her hand: "I don't think I have any clothes that you bought?"
His treatment was actually worse than that of the old man?
Zhou Kanghui burst out laughing when he heard his son's words.
Zhou Mingshi glanced at him, and Zhou Kanghui quickly stopped laughing: "Your clothes are all custom-made. I'm not picky about clothes; I can wear anything. Whatever An'an buys, I'll wear..."
Zhou Mingshi said to Lin Yi'an, "Whatever you buy, I will wear. I wear the tie clip you gave me last time all the time."
Assistant Chen was the most qualified to speak on this point, saying from the side, "That tie clip, President Zhou always makes sure to bring it with him when he goes on business trips."
Many of the clothes in Lin Yi'an's wardrobe were custom-made by Zhou Mingshi. In this respect, she was indeed not as good as Zhou Mingshi. Of course, the main reason was that Zhou Mingshi had a dedicated designer, so she didn't bother to buy them for him.
She said, "I will remember this from now on."
They are already married, and when she goes out shopping to buy gifts for her family, she also buys gifts for him.
Zhou Mingshi: "Hmm."
In the afternoon, just after waking up from his nap, Zhou Mingshi received a call from his older brother saying that his grandfather had fainted.
Zhou Mingshi jumped to his feet: "How is it now?"
Zhou Mingyang: "He has already woken up. He was so angry with Zhou Mingyuan. You know the old man is getting old and his blood pressure is already high. He fainted from anger."
Zhou Mingshi: "We'll be right back."
Lin Yi'an: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Mingshi said coldly, "Grandpa was so angry with Zhou Mingyuan that he fainted."
Lin Yi'an: "Then let's hurry back."
They didn't need to pack their clothes; they just packed their computers and phones, grabbed their bags, and went downstairs.
Grandma Lin: "What's wrong?"
Lin Yi'an: "Grandpa is sick, we have to go back quickly."
Grandma Lin was startled: "Are you alright?"
Lin Yi-an: "It's nothing serious."
Zhou Mingshi looked at his father: "You come back with me."
Since his father was ill, Zhou Kanghui naturally went back with him.
The car drove all the way to the capital, and the group went straight to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Zhou Qisheng seemed to be in good spirits. Upon seeing them, he nonchalantly said, "I'm fine, why did you rush back?"
Lin Yi'an went over and took his pulse.
Zhou Qisheng asked with a smile, "Are you alright?"
Lin Yi'an said, "Grandpa, you must never get so angry again, okay?"
Zhou Qisheng said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, don't be angry."
Yu Minhua glared at him: "At your age, you still can't see things clearly. You can't even manage your son, how can you expect to manage your grandson?"
Zhou Kanghui touched his nose. He had driven back in his own car and still didn't know what had happened. He asked, "Dad, what's going on?"
"What happened?" Yu Minhua looked at him with a stern face: "Go back and ask your good son Zhou Mingyuan, see what your father and I have done to wrong him that makes them hate us so much."
Zhou Kanghui's eyes widened: "Is it the third brother?"
Zhou Jia whispered an explanation from the side, not daring not to: "They didn't get any pocket money this month, and they're complaining at home that their grandparents are biased and look down on them. They even said that their grandmother deliberately said the antiques they gave them were fake, and their third sister-in-law said that they won't let the child call them great-grandfather and great-grandmother when they're born..."
They might as well have whispered to each other at home, but they started talking right outside the door without paying attention to their volume, and their grandparents, who were returning from their walk, heard them.
Zhou Kanghui was furious: "How could I have given birth to such a son?"
With that, he ran out: "I'm going out to make a phone call."
Zhou Kanghui ran outside and dialed Sun Yurong's number.
Sun Yurong was getting a beauty treatment at the salon when she saw his call. She didn't want to answer at first, but then she thought it was unnecessary. Even after Tan Qingwen divorced him, they still kept in touch frequently.
Thinking of this, she answered the phone: "Why are you calling me?"
Zhou Kanghui angrily retorted, "Do you even know what kind of trouble your son has caused?"
Sun Yurong: "I don't even live with them, how would I know?"
Zhou Kanghui sneered twice: "Your son was persuaded by your daughter-in-law's parents to buy over 100 million yuan worth of high-quality counterfeit antiques. He even sold his house, and he's still smugly believing they're real. His grandparents and I reminded him, but your good son thinks we look down on him. He still doesn't believe he's been scammed. Today he's even more outrageous; he made his grandfather faint from anger..."
Sun Yurong, ignoring the face mask on her face, sat up abruptly: "Are you serious?"
She wasn't stupid. Even if she didn't trust Zhou Kanghui's judgment, she had to trust the judgment of Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou.
Zhou Kanghui: "Whether it's true or not, why don't you go and see for yourself?"
Sun Yurong had no time for beauty treatments; she quickly had someone clean her face and went to her son's place.
At the hospital, Zhou Qisheng said, "You've all seen me, so go back now. I'll stay in the hospital for two days and then be discharged."
Lin Yi'an said, "I'm a doctor, and I'm here to take care of Grandpa..."
Zhou Qisheng: "There are doctors at the hospital. After such a long drive, everyone should go back and rest. Grandpa is fine."
Yu Minhua looked at them and said, "You are all good children. Your grandfather is fine. Let Butler Liu stay here with him. I'm going back now."
The group didn't insist any further. Before leaving, Zhou Mingshi said, "We'll come see you tomorrow morning."
After getting into the car, Lin Yi'an said, "Don't worry, Grandpa is fine."
Zhou Mingshi grunted in agreement, then after a moment, said coldly, "Grandpa and Grandma gave birth to Zhou Kanghui, this unreliable son, and this unreliable son gave them an even more unreliable grandson..."
Lin Yi'an couldn't understand Zhou Mingyuan's thought process either.
Zhou Mingshi: "On one side are the parents, and on the other side is the son. Let's see how Zhou Kanghui chooses. Zhou Mingyuan can still live in his grandmother's villa now because he is still Zhou Kanghui's son."
