Zhou Jingming dodged, spilling all the tea onto the sofa.
He flicked the water stains off his clothes and smiled casually, "Is it not my mother keeping a gigolo, but your mistress who came to our door with her child?"
Mr. Zhou almost couldn't catch his breath. He clutched his chest and cursed, "You wretched child, if you can't speak properly, get out of here!"
"Fine, I'll get out then."
Without saying a word, Zhou Jingming stood up and walked outside.
Mr. Zhou was so anxious he jumped up and down, yelling, "Get back here right now!"
“So it’s because I’m getting old and not as effective as I used to be.” Zhou Jingming stopped at the door, turned around and looked at his father who was glaring at him. “If you’re so bored, go have a serious talk with my mother. I’m going back to be with my wife too.”
Mr. Zhou was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
How could he have given birth to such a scoundrel?
I've never given him a kind look since I was a child.
When he grows up, I'll make him angry.
What a terrible thing!
What a terrible thing!
If you strangle him, the Zhou family line will end.
If I don't strangle him, he'll drive me to my death with anger.
Zhou's father pointed at him and roared, "If you dare to step out of this door, I'll break your legs."
"My mom hasn't even gone through menopause yet, and you've arrived early?"
Zhou Jingming leaned against the door, arms crossed, looking nonchalant.
Mr. Zhou slammed his hand on the table, his face turning red with anger.
Seeing his expression, Zhou Jingming realized that if he continued to be angry, he would probably have to keep his ancestors company, so he put on a serious face again.
"Speak, what do you want with me?"
Mr. Zhou took a breath, picked up a document from the table and tossed it to him, saying, "I'm getting old and can't support such a big company anymore. You come back and take over."
"I won't answer." Zhou Jingming decisively refused.
Enraged, Mr. Zhou finally lost control of his emotions. "If you don't take it, do you want to just watch the company fall into the hands of outsiders?"
"Being old doesn't mean you can't do it. Why don't you have another child with my mom? Then you won't have to be angry with me every day and beg me to take over the company."
Look.
What kind of bastard dares to talk to me like that?
But this scoundrel...
I've always gone against him since I was a child.
"It's fine if you don't want to answer, I'll have Xi'er answer it." Zhou's father was so angry that he suddenly thought of Su Xi and an idea flashed through his mind.
He couldn't cure Zhou Jingming.
But Su Xi can.
With just a word from Su Xi, this bastard could be made to kneel and beg for mercy.
As expected, Zhou Jingming's expression immediately changed when Su Xi was mentioned.
"Why should my wife answer?"
“That’s my wife. I told you to pick her up, so I’ll pick her up!” Mr. Zhou stood up, his demeanor authoritative.
Although he is getting on in years, he is in good shape and even with wrinkles on his face, you can still tell that he was a handsome man when he was young.
The father and son were locked in a stalemate, neither willing to give in.
Suddenly, Zhou's father roared, "Xi'er, come up here!"
Zhou Jingming then said, "You are not allowed to come up."
Su Xi, who was chatting with Zhou Jing downstairs: "??????"
Zhou Jing, however, saw through the problem and offered a word of advice: "They're probably being stubborn. Don't go up there."
Having grown up witnessing her father and brother constantly going against each other, Zhou Jing was already used to it.
"Could they be fighting?" Su Xi couldn't help but worry when she heard that the voice sounded off.
If Zhou Jingming were to go against someone, he would naturally not suffer any losses.
But now he is facing his father.
“A fight is unlikely, but with my brother’s temper, it’s possible he might anger Dad to the point of hospitalization.” Zhou Jing shrugged.
Upon hearing this, Su Xi didn't care about anything else and quickly stood up from the sofa and rushed upstairs.
As soon as I entered, I saw that both the father and son looked unwell.
This situation has escalated to the point of a full-blown fight.
"What happened?" Su Xi grabbed Zhou Jingming.
Before Zhou Jingming could speak, his father interjected, "Xi'er, I'm planning to hand the company over to you to manage. What do you think?"
"I?"
Su Xi pointed to herself.
"That's right," Zhou's father said with a look of disappointment. "My son is useless, and my daughter is a handful. Now I can only rely on my daughter-in-law!"
Su Xi was taken aback.
The Zhou Group is the most powerful family in Kyoto, yet Zhou's father wants to hand over the inheritance to her?
Did she hear that right?
"Dad, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Su Xi politely declined.
She simply doesn't have the energy to manage such a large company.
Besides, Zhou Jingming is still around, isn't he?
Zhou Jing is still the daughter of the Zhou family.
It's not her turn at all, since she's an outsider.
“There’s nothing wrong with it. You’re a daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. If I say it’s okay, then it’s okay,” Zhou’s father said decisively.
Zhou Jingming pulled Su Xi behind him and gave a cold laugh, "Whether it works or not is up to me."
"You bastard, you..."
Mr. Zhou pressed his hand hard against his chest, his face grim.
Seeing the tense situation and unsure of what was happening, Su Xi quickly stopped Zhou Jingming from acting recklessly, saying, "This is your father, let's talk things out."
“He’s going through menopause, it doesn’t make sense,” Zhou Jingming said, too lazy to explain.
Zhou's father pointed at him and scolded, "You were born a bad monkey, you have no manners."
"If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. I'm a bad monkey, and aren't you just an old bad monkey?"
"Fine, fine..." Mr. Zhou sat weakly on the sofa, panting heavily. "Since you don't want to take over the company, get out of here and don't call me Dad anymore."
Zhou Jingming immediately took Su Xi's hand and walked outside.
She and Zhou Jingming are neighbors.
I've seen father and son fight before.
But it has never been as intense as it is today.
Just now, Zhou's father said he was taking over the company. Does this mean he wants Zhou Jingming to inherit the family business, but Zhou Jingming is unwilling?
After walking a few steps, Su Xi stopped.
She looked at him with an extremely serious expression, "Tell me honestly, what happened between you and your dad?"
“He wants me to take over the company, but I’m not interested.” Zhou Jingming had nothing to hide from Su Xi.
Shen Xian had put him in charge of the company a long time ago.
He didn't agree.
The Zhou family is large and powerful; once you step into their fold, the countless tasks will be enough to suffocate you.
At that point, forget about going home to be with your wife.
Furthermore, given his current situation, he doesn't have much time to attend to the company's affairs.
"If you don't take over, who will?" Su Xi frowned.
Zhou Jingming is the only son in the Zhou family.
He abandoned the matter.
The Zhou Group truly has no successor.
Zhou Jingming naturally took this into consideration as well. "My dad is still young, so he can hold on for now. I'll take over when he really can't handle it anymore."
The Dark Night Pavilion is very busy.
He started Blue Night as a cover.
Once he goes to the Zhou family, he might not be able to escape unscathed in any emergency.
“He’s in his fifties, not young anymore.” Su Xi could tell that Zhou’s father’s health was not as good as before.
He had been pressing his chest.
It's obvious that he has a heart condition.
If Zhou Jingming continues to provoke, something bad might happen.
"Mom will help him."
As soon as Zhou Jingming finished speaking, he looked up and saw Shen Xian standing at the top of the stairs.
"Mom is getting older every day. How long can she help your dad?" Shen Xian heard it all. The father and son were arguing about company matters again.
Over the years, she has repeatedly urged Zhou Jingming to inherit the company.
But he refused to back down.
He was completely absorbed in the Blue Night Bar.
