Chapter 77 He really thinks he's part of the Zhou family.
Zhou Mingyuan knew that his mother was supporting her family before his parents divorced, and his father also knew it.
Neither his father nor he cared.
Their family isn't short of money, and his mother isn't stupid; even if she were to help her own family, the amount would be limited.
But Zhou Mingyuan didn't like his maternal relatives, especially his cousin Sun Caijie.
He could sense that his cousin was envious and jealous of him, openly and subtly making sarcastic remarks about him...
What disgusted him even more in recent months was that his cousin was imitating him, his speaking style, and even his clothing and appearance.
Does he think that by learning from him, he can become like him? That's utterly absurd.
When he saw him arrive, he didn't have a good look on his face.
Seeing his stern face, Sun Caijie's expression darkened. He vowed in his heart that when he became Zhou Ming, he would not take care of this cousin like in the book. How dare he look down on him? He really gave him too much face.
When Sun Yurong saw her older brother, her eyes immediately reddened: "The Zhou family is bullying us! They didn't give me anything after the divorce..."
Brother Sun's face darkened slightly. He hadn't expected his sister to be so useless. She had been married into the Zhou family for over twenty years and was almost a grandchild, yet she was still divorced.
Zhou Mingyuan said from the side, "Mom, why didn't we give you anything? You have two houses, although they are not villas, they are enough for you to live in. You also have your own savings and a lot of jewelry. If you don't spend money recklessly, these things are enough to ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Besides, Zhou Jia and I will not abandon you."
"Shut up! You're a member of the Zhou family too, and you're no better than anyone else." Sun Yurong, who had been holding back her anger for days, finally found someone to vent on: "I'm your mother, and you always side with your father. All my hard work and dedication to getting you shares has been for nothing, and here you are, spouting sarcastic remarks. Are you even my son?"
Zhou Mingyuan frowned, recalling his father's words: "I'm telling the truth. If you hadn't married me and had married an ordinary person, would you have gotten all this?"
Sun Yurong sneered: "Your dad, your dad, everything is your dad. If your dad really cared about you, he wouldn't have given all the shares to Zhou Mingshi and left you nothing."
Upon hearing his aunt's words, Sun Caijie immediately perked up his ears.
Zhou Mingyuan: "What did you say?"
Sun Yurong sneered at him: "Can't believe it? Do you doubt your ears? Ha, your father gave his last three percent of the shares to Zhou Mingshi, and you have nothing. Are you still siding with him? Do you still think he's right in everything?"
Zhou Mingyuan plopped down on the sofa.
Zhou Jia never expected that her father would give all the shares to her second brother. Was her second brother really that important to her?
Didn't you think about the other children?
She's not even married yet, hasn't he thought about his daughter at all?
Zhou Jia was truly heartbroken; her eyes were red.
Sun Caijie suddenly spoke up: "That's understandable, after all, Zhou Mingshi is the heir of the Zhou family, so it's reasonable to give him the shares. If the shares were given to the other children, the shares would be scattered, which would not be conducive to managing the company. I think Uncle is right!"
In his mind, giving the shares to Zhou Ming was equivalent to giving them to him, so of course he would speak up for himself.
Brother Sun glared at his son: "Whose nephew are you?"
Sun Caijie shrugged: "I was just stating the truth."
Zhou Jia said angrily, "Second Brother already has so many shares... Even if you want to give them to Second Brother, you can do it later. Why give them to him now? Hasn't he considered the other children?"
Sun Caijie: "But you also have to admit that only if the shares are with your second brother can the Zhou family benefit. As for you? What can you bring to the Zhou family?"
Zhou Jia suddenly looked at him: "What's wrong with you?"
Sun Caijie then said, "I was just telling the truth."
Zhou Jia snorted, "When my second brother and sister-in-law got married, not only did the Lin family give my sister-in-law shares, but my dad also gave her shares. I could also get married into the family..."
At this point, Sun Caijie's face darkened again. When he heard the news at home, he was so angry that he smashed the cup in his hand. He said angrily, "Uncle is too naive. How can the shares be given to the daughter-in-law? Even if they are, shouldn't they be given to the son?"
To give the most important shares to an outsider is simply stupid and foolish. How could Old Master Zhou agree to that?
And Tan Qingwen's mother actually gave her shares to her daughter-in-law, complaining that she had too much money and went to be a money-giving child.
When he becomes Zhou Ming, he will have to find a way to get all these things back.
Zhou Jia looked at his twisted and gloomy face in surprise: "Why are you so angry? Anyone who didn't know better would think that your second sister-in-law stole your shares."
Everyone in the room looked at him. Sun Caijie's face stiffened. He reminded himself that he was not Zhou Mingshi yet and he couldn't get too involved. Otherwise, if his true colors were discovered, he would be finished. He smiled and said, "I just feel sorry for the Zhou family. Aren't you all members of the Zhou family?"
Zhou Mingyuan sneered. Would he really be so kind?
Could it be that they actually consider themselves part of the Zhou family?
Otherwise, why would I keep imitating him?
Sun Yurong said, "Caijie is right. If we're going to give it, shouldn't it be given to Zhou Mingshi? Why does it have to be given to Lin Yi'an, a mere girl?"
Why should she receive preferential treatment when she is also a woman who married into the Zhou family?
Even if it's an arranged marriage, there's no need to be so eager, is there?
She even bore two children for the Zhou family, and after the divorce, she received nothing. That old woman is despicable.
After Zhou Ming finished unwrapping the gifts, he received a phone call from his mother.
Tan Qingwen said regretfully on the phone, "I'm too busy with work to come and celebrate your birthday with you."
Zhou Mingshi: "It's okay, I have Yi'an with me."
Tan Qingwen joked, "With An'an by your side, you don't need your mom anymore? Should I take this opportunity to say something like, 'You've forgotten your mother after getting married'?"
Zhou Mingshi chuckled: "You should be happy that someone has finally taken your son in?"
Tan Qingwen laughed: "Happy, really happy. I prepared gifts for you two, I'll give them to you when I get back."
Zhou Mingshi hummed in agreement, then paused, "Dad's here too."
Tan Qingwen sat up straight: "What a rare thing! Your dad actually went to celebrate your birthday with you? He actually remembered your birthday?"
Zhou Mingshi: "Don't overestimate him."
Hearing this, Tan Qingwen asked, "What happened to him?"
Zhou Mingshi: "He divorced Sun Yurong and came here to avoid trouble."
"What?" Tan Qingwen was genuinely shocked: "Isn't Sun Yurong his true love? How could he bear to divorce her?"
Zhou Mingshi: "He said he discovered Sun Yurong's true colors and felt that Sun Yurong was deceiving him emotionally."
Tan Qingwen burst into laughter without any politeness: "Serves you right!"
After she finished laughing, Zhou Mingshi said, "He gave us the remaining shares as well. I told him to transfer them to Yi'an."
Tan Qingwen raised an eyebrow: "What? You suddenly remembered your son whom he forgot about after the divorce?"
Zhou Mingshi: "I brought it up myself."
Upon hearing this, Tan Qingwen looked pleased: "That's right. You should ask for some things when you should. It takes skill to get them."
Zhou Mingshi: "Hmm."
