Chapter 392 Adopted Son? They Don't Even Deserve It
Finally, his stomach was no longer hungry. Chu Yan wiped his mouth and said, "When I got back to Hong Kong, I didn't even have time to buy a new phone. I also couldn't contact the bodyguards my dad arranged, so I had to take a taxi here. Luckily, I had cash with me, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get here! Zhu Xiaoxiao caused such a big problem, I think it's a bit uncertain whether she can come back. Unless the Xie family and the country intervene, let's not talk about her anymore. Let's go downstairs. My parents must be quite worried right now."
In the banquet hall, Zhou Wansheng was chatting with Gu Qinglang and his wife, Gu Le, and some well-known real estate developers from Hong Kong when they saw Old Lady Zhao leading the two people over. Zhou Wansheng's smile immediately vanished.
"Madam Zhao is here? Why don't I see Old Master Zhao?" Zhou Wansheng didn't look at the two people, but looked at Madam Zhao.
Madam Zhao smiled and said, "The old man hasn't been feeling well lately, so he hasn't come. However, he asked me to pass on a message to your in-laws, congratulating you on your wish coming true."
When the people around saw that Madam Zhao had brought the fake young master and fake young lady over, they all curiously gathered around to watch the drama unfold.
Wang Yanzhi also noticed and led the Gu family towards Zhou Wansheng's side.
Madam Zhao seemed oblivious to the awkward atmosphere. She smiled and said, "My dear in-law, on this joyous occasion, look who I brought along!" She then waved behind her.
Zhao Tengfei and Zhao Feifei immediately stepped forward, looking at Zhou Wansheng expectantly: "Grandpa!" Their eyes were full of filial piety!
Gu Le, standing to the side, smiled at them without saying a word. He trusted his grandfather, so he didn't need them to say anything more. Gu Qinglang also didn't move.
Zhou Wansheng glanced at the two of them, then looked at Old Madam Zhao expressionlessly: "Is this your idea, or your husband Old Zhao's idea?"
When Grandma Zhao saw that there was no smile in his eyes, she felt a little scared, but when she thought of his hundreds of billions of assets, she pinched her palm and continued to greet him with a smile.
"What do you mean? These two kids have been busy with their studies in Beijing. They heard you were having a party, so they came with me to offer their congratulations. My grandfather also said that the older generation should bear the consequences of their mistakes. What does this have to do with the children? They didn't do it, right? After all, we've raised them for over ten years and they've called us grandpa and grandma for over ten years. To put it bluntly, even if you've raised a dog for over ten years, you wouldn't be willing to give it away! Let alone children! The debt of gratitude we owe you is greater than heaven!"
As she spoke, she saw Wang Yanzhi approaching, so she reached out and grasped Wang Yanzhi's wrist, saying with great emotion, "No one wanted something like that to happen, but since it has already happened, we have to look forward. When these two children were first sent back to the Zhao family, they couldn't sleep peacefully, constantly blaming themselves and calling for their grandparents. Birth cannot be changed, but you raised these children. Those more than ten years of affection aren't like dogs or cats that you can just throw away! Right?! We are both women, and you know the effort we've put into raising these children!"
Wang Yanzhi pushed her hand away and smiled, "Then what do you suggest we do?"
Madam Zhao carefully examined her expression and found that there was nothing unusual about her, which made her happy.
"Today is a joyous day. Your two biological children are back, so it's only right to hold a welcome party. Here's what I'm thinking: let Tengfei and Feifei come back too. They're quite familiar with both the Zhou family and Gangcheng, so let them help your children get acquainted! That way, the two children can see their beloved grandparents every day! They can also help you out! And the house will be lively! Isn't that wonderful!"
Wang Yanzhi scoffed inwardly, but her expression remained unchanged: "Let them both come back? In what capacity? Young master and young lady?"
Madam Zhao waved her hand and laughed, "No way! Your family already has a young master and a young lady, our Tengfei and Feifei won't fight for that position!"
The two people beside them nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, we won't take it! We'll let Gu Yin and Gu Le have it!"
Wang Yanzhi raised an eyebrow: "Then in what capacity? As a servant to the young master and young lady?"
Madam Zhao shook her head: "No, no, no, after all, they are children you have raised for more than ten years. It would be too embarrassing to call them servants. How about this, let them be your godchildren! That way, your two children won't have to worry about Tengfei and Feifei taking their place, and it will sound better to others!"
The surrounding people quieted down. This Old Madam Zhao really dared to dream big! Even the adopted son of the Zhou family was better than most of the second-generation rich kids in Hong Kong! Besides, until the very end, it wasn't certain who the Zhou family would actually belong to! The Zhao family's ambitions were truly enormous!
Wang Yanzhi laughed angrily: "Adopted sons? They don't even deserve to be called that!"
Zhao Tengfei and his companion turned pale instantly, and Old Madam Zhao's face stiffened as well: "Wh-what? What do you mean by that?"
Wang Yanzhi sneered, "Is your Zhao family planning to interfere in the affairs of our Zhou family? Old Master Zhao sent a woman who knows nothing to act as a mediator, do you think the Zhou family are all fools?! Adopted sons?! They don't even deserve it! I feel unlucky just seeing them! Old Madam Zhao, you're here to cause trouble, aren't you!"
The old lady's chest heaved with anger: "Speak properly! I'm just offering a suggestion, not lecturing you. After all, we've been in-laws for years. Look at your grandson, so young, only in elementary school. When will he grow up? At least another ten years! Look at Tengfei, Old Zhou personally mentored him, he's been to the company, and he's been exposed to its workings. He knows far more about company matters than this kid! I'm not suggesting Tengfei and his granddaughter replace your grandchildren. My point is, they can help out at the company first, and when your grandson grows up, they can be his right-hand men! After all, they're family, aren't they better than outsiders?"
Among the many guests present, some thought the old lady was right, while others scoffed at her words!
"What do you mean, 'our own child'? Old lady, please remember this: that's the child of our enemy, not our own! I can hear your schemes all over Beijing! You've got quite the commotion!"
Everyone looked to the back, clearing a space, and Gu Yin and Chu Yan slowly walked in.
Gu Yin looked at Zhao Tengfei and Zhao Feifei and couldn't help but laugh: "Still causing trouble? I thought you two would never return to Hong Kong. I didn't expect you to be so bold as to actually come back?! Is it the Zhao family that gave you this confidence?"
When Grandma Zhao saw Gu Yin, she laughed in anger: "How can you talk like that? No matter what, I am your elder! And what do you mean by 'the child of an enemy'? How can you say such awful things? These are your brother and sister!"
"Elders? Who do you think you are? My elders are all here. Ask them if they acknowledge me. And you call them brothers and sisters? Are you my brother who got into Qingda University, or my sister who's in the preparatory class for Qingda University? What kind of brothers and sisters are they? Don't make up names for me, and don't try to scam me. I find it unlucky!"
Zhao Tengfei and Zhao Feifei looked terrible. Their grades were poor. Zhao Feifei attended a private high school and did terribly in this year's college entrance examination. Zhao Tengfei had only gotten into Qingdao University by paying money. If the Zhao family hadn't been so ashamed that they had paid money to get him a diploma, he would still be taking a make-up exam right now!
Old Madam Zhao clutched her chest and gritted her teeth, saying, "Sharp-tongued and rude! Talking back to your elders, what family would want a girl like you! Zhou Wansheng, aren't you going to do anything about this?!"
“I’m telling you, why are you all arguing so much with someone like her?! In Myanmar, people like that should be sent to work in the mines! Ah Yin, didn’t I already give you two mines? How about I help you send them there!”
Wu Ye had long disliked this old woman; she was incredibly hypocritical!
Everyone present gasped; that place was a place from which there was no return!
Zhou Tengfei was so frightened that he hid behind Old Madam Zhao.
Gu Yin said helplessly, "No need for that. Jade is so clean and spiritual. I'm afraid they'll go over there and pollute my jade! That wouldn't be good."
Wu Ye shook his head: "You're just too kind-hearted!"
Zhou Wansheng looked at Madam Zhao: "Has your Zhao family overstepped its bounds? Go back and tell Zhao Guoan that the Zhou family is not someone he can scheme against. Since you don't want a peaceful life, then all our cooperation ends here. Oh, by the way, when our two families became in-laws, the shares we asked for, I've already bought back from Manny. Although your company's shares aren't worth much, if you want them, then pay for them. If you don't want them, then I'll sell them. Men, take these irrelevant people out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Wansheng stopped looking at them. Several bodyguards came up and quickly took the three of them away.
