Chapter 266 Testing
They chatted until 11 p.m., but Zhou Wansheng and Wang Yanzhi's emotions had been so turbulent that they couldn't stay awake any longer.
They stood up: "Let's stop here for today and head back now. We'll come back tomorrow and do some shopping together. It's been a long time since we've been back here, so we can keep each other company!"
Gu Jianguo nodded: "No problem, see you tomorrow!"
Everyone was tired, so they didn't try to keep anyone else.
Gu Yin's family saw the person to the door, but Zhou Wansheng stopped them.
"No need to escort you downstairs. It's not appropriate for us to appear together right now. You two look too alike. Let's wait until the enemy is caught before we appear together openly!"
He's still unsure who's behind this, and he's afraid something might happen to the child he just found—that would be a complete disaster!
Chu Yan smiled and said, "I'll take Mr. and Mrs. Zhou back. You two should go back and rest; it's getting late."
Gu Yin nodded.
On the way, Zhou Wansheng looked at Chu Yan, who was driving, and asked curiously, "Your family background is not simple. How do you know Ayin and the others?"
Chu Yan looked at the road ahead and smiled, "My maternal grandfather is in Jiang City. I studied there. Gu Yin got into the best high school there, and that's how we met. But before that, I met her first. She participated in an English competition in the city and won first place. The judges were not convinced, but she silenced them with her words."
Zhou Wansheng's lips curled up: "Very impressive!"
Chu Yan said proudly, "Of course! She's also very good at business. At such a young age, she took her family to the electronics street in S City to buy 3C products and resell them to make a profit! The house her family bought during the day was bought with money she earned from the stock market! If she had received elite training from a young age like me, her abilities would have far surpassed mine! However, it seems that her ambitions lie elsewhere. She is currently participating in various competitions, so she will probably focus on scientific research."
Gu Yin and the others didn't want to talk about it, but he wouldn't hide it from them. He deliberately wanted the Zhou family head to know how outstanding Gu Yin was! Later, when that guy Lao Zifei tried to play the victim, they wouldn't be soft-hearted! After all, with a powerful heir there, who would still care about that nobody?
You could say Chu Yan is inherently suspicious, or you could say he's scheming. But in a wealthy family like theirs, some scheming can save your life. Gu Yin will also be entering their circle in the future. Although he believes in Gu Yin's abilities, with someone like Old Master Zhou as a tool, why not exhaust himself?
Grandpa Zhou and his wife could also understand the deeper meaning in Chu Yan's words. They weren't angry at all; on the contrary, they were very happy. After all, Gu Yin was truly amazing! And the boyfriend she found was amazing too! Just like them! Indeed, one's own children are one's own children!
Gu Yin, who was already asleep, had no idea that she had a boyfriend.
After dropping the two off at their destination, Chu Yan left.
When Zhou Wansheng and Wang Yanzhi returned home, they found that the lights were still on and the door was not closed, just slightly ajar. They glanced at each other and went inside.
"My dear grandson, stop playing games! It's getting late. Hurry up and drink this milk, then go to sleep!"
"Oh, just one more game! The very last one! Grandma! Please let me play just one last game!"
"This is the last round! We can't postpone it any longer, you've postponed it so many times already!"
Zhou Tengfei smiled and hugged Mu Hong's arm, saying in a spoiled tone, "I know! Auntie is the best! I love Auntie the most!"
Mu Hong affectionately tapped his forehead: "You, you always have such a sweet tongue!"
"Why are you still awake so late?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, both of them paused for a moment, then turned around.
Zhou Tengfei stood up and said gently, "Why are you so late, Grandpa and Grandma?"
Aren't these two supposed to be in the city center? What are they doing here? They didn't even say hello! Honestly!
Wang Yanzhi put down her bag, sat on the sofa, glanced at the game console in his hand, and sneered, "What? Can't I come? If I didn't come, wouldn't I know you're not asleep at this hour, kid? Playing games?! Your grandfather and I sent you to Beijing for school, not to play games!"
Seeing that Wang Yanzhi's expression was off and Zhou Wansheng was also silent with a dark face, Mu Hong immediately smiled and stepped forward to pour tea for the two of them: "Miss and son-in-law, don't be angry, you've misunderstood. Tengfei finished his assignment before playing games, really, I promise! He had just picked up the game console when you came back! By the way, why are you so late? You didn't even call a driver to pick you up, I thought you had gone back to Hong Kong! Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat? I'll make it!"
Wang Yanzhi pinched her brow: "Are you going to go rest and just stand here in a daze?!"
Zhou Tengfei knew he was being referred to, so he immediately put down his game console and went upstairs.
After everyone left, Wang Yanzhi looked at Mu Hong and said, "Then you can make some for me. I'm really hungry."
Mu Hong's face stiffened for a moment, then she immediately smiled again: "Then I'll go to the kitchen and make something! You guys take a rest first." After saying that, she went into the kitchen.
What's going on? Usually, when she said this, the other party would just tell her to rest and tell the servants to do it. Why is it different this time? Could it be that Tengfei was playing games and she didn't stop him, so she got implicated? Mu Hong went into the kitchen with a puzzled look.
Seeing someone enter the kitchen, Zhou Wansheng took a teacup, held it to his lips, and said in a low voice, "You need to calm down. Wang Tianbao has a high status in the company, and he probably has quite a few people. Wait until I find the person before you lose your temper."
Wang Yanzhi nodded: "The thought that these two might be enemies makes me furious! What a bunch of bastards they are!"
Zhou Wansheng's lips twitched; this was the first time he had ever seen his wife scold someone.
After resting for a while, Wang Yanzhi got up, took the quilt, and went into the kitchen.
When Mu Hong, who was cooking, saw her come in, she smiled and said, "I'll take care of the washing, Miss, you can go out and rest!"
“It’s just a blanket, no need, I can do it myself,” Wang Yanzhi refused.
Upon seeing this, Mu Hong decided not to visit again.
As she slowly washed the cup, Wang Yanzhi looked at the flowing water and sighed, "Xiao Hong, why is this child so difficult to raise?"
Mu Hong was taken aback, then smiled and said, "The young master is already very sensible. Every day after class, he still has to follow the teacher to learn this and that! I recently heard that he worked very hard to get a job under a professor, but he still didn't get selected. Sigh!"
Wang Yanzhi sighed, "That was indeed tiring. I misunderstood him."
Wang Yanzhi took a clean towel and slowly wiped the water droplets off the cup. She looked at Mu Hong and said guiltily, "If I hadn't asked you to come to Hong Kong with me, your child probably wouldn't have been lost. Now, you should be a grandmother, worrying about this and that."
Mu Hong paused for a moment while stir-frying, then continued to stir-fry quickly, smiling as she said, "That's all in the past, let's not talk about it. Now, I just hope that Miss and Son-in-law are safe and sound, and that Tengfei and Feifei are healthy. Then I'll have no regrets!"
Looking at her crisp voice, Wang Yanzhi said helplessly, "You, how many times have I told you not to call me Miss? What era are we living in? Besides, you're not the maid who used to serve me anymore. You're my old friend now!"
"How can that be? You'll always be my lady. It has nothing to do with the times. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know where I would be now! Not to mention I'm married and have such a good life!" Mu Hong objected with a smile.
Wang Yanzhi nodded at her, then smiled and turned to leave. As she reached the door, she turned back to Mu Hong, who was plating the food, and said guiltily, "I told you I would make you a dowry maid for the master, but the new government implemented a one-man-one-woman system, which prevented you from marrying him. Do you resent me?"
When Wang Yanzhi was to marry Zhou Wansheng, her family wanted Mu Hong to be her dowry maid, and Mu Hong was willing. However, because Wang Yanzhi liked Mu Hong, she wanted her to be a concubine with a title, not just a maid without a title. But later the policy changed, and this was no longer possible. Mu Hong stayed by her side as a sister. Later, she developed feelings for Wang Tianbao, who was by the old man's side, and they got married.
Mu Hong's hand trembled, and the meat on her chopsticks fell into the plate. She quickly put it back in place and said helplessly, "Nothing like that. I was young and didn't know any better back then. Besides, Tianbao and I have a very good relationship and haven't had any conflicts over the years. I've never had any romantic feelings for my son-in-law either. Miss, please don't overthink it!"
Wang Yanzhi stared blankly at the dish, then laughed, "I didn't think much of it. I just got angry tonight seeing Tengfei's lazy attitude. I was thinking how great it would be if you were his grandma. He would probably like you more, since you spoil him more than I do! Humph, that brat probably wishes Grandpa and I wouldn't come back!"
Mu Hong breathed a sigh of relief. So he was just jealous. She laughed and said, "Don't talk like that. How could I be his grandmother? Go on out, it's time to eat!"
Wang Yanzhi nodded and walked out of the kitchen with mixed feelings.
