Chapter 169:

Grandpa Zhou asked Lu Siyin to sit wherever she wanted, and asked about his well-being. He was so enthusiastic that he had forgotten that Zhou Zhenyu was still standing here.

Zhou Zhenyu: "..."

He gritted his teeth and lowered his eyes to hide the viciousness that flashed across his eyes. He complained in his heart that the old man was really partial. He had been standing here for a long time, but he didn't ask anyone to move a chair for him. He didn't even give him a good look. On the contrary, Zhou Zipei smiled so happily when he came, and even the people he brought were treated with such love and respect!

Seeing that they were the real grandparents, while he was like an outsider, Zhou Zhenyu's dark hatred was about to overflow, and his face was ferocious in places where others couldn't see.

Qin Jiao saw it unintentionally, and was startled. She hurriedly retracted her gaze and pretended nothing had happened.

When Zhou Zhenyu looked up again, his expression was gone. He reminded them, "Grandpa, let's get down to business!"

This successfully interrupted the three people. Zhou Zipei sat beside Lu Siyin leisurely, as if she didn't hear what Zhou Zhenyu said. She poured her a cup of tea and asked, "It's not bad after one sip."

Lu Siyin took a sip and said, "It's good." Zhou Zipei

didn't pour her any more tea. She turned her head and whispered a few words to Zhou Ri. Then she took the tea she had only taken a sip of and drank it all.

Qin Jiao saw this and couldn't help but show a hint of envy in her eyes.

Being ignored, Zhou Zhenyu's face turned pale: "..."

Old Master Zhou had to cough twice, then winked at Zhou Zipei, asking him to explain.

Zhou Zipei shrugged: "Nothing to say, I won't change my mind."

Qin Jiao couldn't help but get anxious, but she could only bite her lower lip and pin her hopes on Zhou Zhenyu.

Lu Siyin was surprised. When he saw Qin Yuqian today, he knew that she had been spoiled since she was a child. He thought her sister would only be more confident and arrogant, but he didn't expect her character to be so weak.

"You said that I had no reason to let Zhou Zipei drive Qin Yuqian out." Lu Siyin looked at Zhou Zhenyu and said, "It was also me who put her on the blacklist of the National Artists Association."

Zhou Zhenyu looked at her unkindly: "Isn't it?"

Lu Siyin had a ridiculous expression: "You think too highly of me! Who did you hear about Qin Yuqian from?"

Qin Jiao spoke at this time: "Yuqian came to me to cry, she was tired of crying, and fell asleep at my place."

Thinking about it, she spoke again: "But, Yuqian Say, it’s really because of you...”

Lu Siyin interrupted her: “Yes, it’s true that she was blacklisted by the teacher because of me, but I’m not the culprit. You should go back and ask your sister who has caused her to do what and say what today, or she might be used by others.”

Qin Jiao didn’t expect that there was something else strange about this matter. She really couldn’t just listen to Xin Yuqian’s one-sided statement. Maybe there was a misunderstanding here.

She figured it out, but Zhou Zhenyu didn’t want to let it go easily. He finally got the chance to make Zhou Zipei pay for her loss, so he naturally had to make good use of it.

"Does what you say count? We all have a mouth, so we can deny it once we open it. But this has already happened, and Zhou Zipei is deliberately making things difficult for me. We are all family, so why humiliate me like this?"

Zhou Zhenyu deliberately emphasized the last sentence, which naturally grasped the lifeblood of Grandpa Zhou. The grandpa's greatest wish is that the family can be harmonious and the brothers can be friendly and respectful to each other.

As expected, the expression on Grandpa Zhou's face was not very good. Just when he thought that the old man would scold Zhou Zipei, he found that the words were spoken to him, and the tone was dissatisfied and severe: "Are you done yet? You must break up this family. Siyin said there is a misunderstanding here, but you are still reluctant to do so. It really makes me angry. Hurry up and leave. It makes me upset to see you standing here."

Zhou Zhenyu looked at the old man in disbelief. His heart was almost tilted to the Pacific Ocean. Not only did he trust Zhou Zipei completely, but he didn't even blame him.

He glared at Zhou Zipei fiercely, snorted angrily, but didn't dare to continue to be presumptuous in front of the old man. He could only leave with a purple face and a gloomy look.

Qin Jiao was left standing there, in a dilemma.

"You should go out too!" Old Master Zhou said to her.

Qin Jiao responded as if she had been pardoned, and left without stopping.

Old Master Zhou sighed as he looked at her back. He was not completely unaware of the mess Zhou Zhenyu had done outside.

If you are not strong, it is useless to help others!

"Grandpa, since everything is fine, I will..." Zhou Zipei stood up and wanted to say goodbye.

"Sit down." The words of farewell were interrupted.

Old Master Zhou knocked his cane heavily on the floor, making a dull and powerful sound.

"You're leaving right after you got here," the old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and said in a sad tone: "Do you have to wait until I die before you can come back and stay for a while ?"

Zhou Zipei stopped where he was, with a faint smile on his face that never changed for thousands of years, and said helplessly: "What are you talking about?"

Lu Siyin felt that he should leave for a while, so he whispered in Zhou Zipei's ear: "I'm going out for a walk, you and grandpa stay for a while!"

Zhou Zipei hummed in a low voice, and then said: "I'll let Zhou Ri follow you."

Lu Siyin had her own plans and refused: "No, I'll come to you in a while, I won't go far." After

saying something to Grandpa Zhou, she walked out.

After watching Lu Siyin leave, Zhou Zipei's smile faded a little, and she sat back again according to the old man's words, picked up the tea and took a sip nonchalantly.

Grandpa Zhou's expression softened, and he looked at him earnestly and said, "Even if the little girl of the Qin family was wrong first, you can't not give her any face. No matter what, the Qin family and the Zhou family are also in-laws. You still have to consider the Qin family's face. No matter what, Zhenyu, hey, is also your elder brother."

"Bang" sound

The bottom of the cup collided with the tabletop with a light sound, and the unfinished tea drew an arc in the air. When it fell again, a few drops splashed out and landed on Zhou Zipei's hand.

The atmosphere in the room also plummeted because of this sound, and instantly sank into ice.

Zhou Zipei slowly pulled out a piece of paper and wiped the back of his hand with his brows down, as if he was unaware of the change in the atmosphere here. The curve of his lips did not change, and he said calmly: "Grandpa, when Zhou Zhenyu sent people to assassinate me, he didn't think about that I was his younger brother!"

Grandpa Zhou looked at him with complicated eyes, his voice revealing deep fatigue: "Zipei, that was not done by your eldest brother."

Zhou Zipei chuckled, with some sarcasm, but didn't say anything in the end.

Everyone knew whether it was Zhou Zhenyu who did it.

Old Master Zhou looked at him and hesitated to speak for many times. After a long silence, he finally spoke: "You...how is Cheng Zhibo?"

When this name was mentioned, Zhou Zipei seemed to be touched. His temperament became visibly colder, and he was filled with a sense of hostility. His tone was unusually calm: "Don't worry, he won't die."

Old Master Zhou seemed to be relieved. Zhou Zipei seemed to have run out of patience.

Without saying hello, he picked up his coat and walked towards the door.

"You," Zhou's old voice sounded as he was about to step out, almost begging, "Come back often when you have time, I won't live much longer."

Zhou Zipei stopped in his tracks, without turning around, his back slightly stiffened, and after a few seconds of silence, he hummed in a low voice as if in compromise.

Then he walked away without hesitation.
