“No matter how much of a scoundrel my brother is, he’s still your son,” Zhou Jing said.
She doesn't want to inherit the family business and be trapped in the company every day without any freedom. It's better for her to be an actress now, doing what she likes, which is so much happier.
In fact, Zhou Jing also knew why her brother did not inherit the family business.
Ultimately, I still don't want to be entangled with the interests of these shopping malls.
He's with Su Xi now, enjoying their time together every day, happy and relaxed.
Mr. Zhou snorted, "I'm not counting on this son anymore. Anyway, it's settled. You find a son-in-law to live with you, and the Zhou Group will be managed by the two of you."
“From now on, all of the Zhou family’s property will be inherited by you. You are your father’s only hope. If even you don’t help your father, what hope do your mother and I have?”
Mr. Zhou looked helpless as he spoke, and Zhou Jing couldn't bear to watch.
But she finally built her own career, and her brother had looked down on her before. Now she wanted to make something of herself and show her brother that she wasn't a flower raised in a greenhouse, nor was she a good-for-nothing who only knew how to throw tantrums.
She really liked this drama; both the plot and the characters suited her perfectly.
She can't give up her career and take on the heavy responsibility of the family now.
Moreover, her father's idea was for her to find a son-in-law who would live with her family, which made her even more unwilling.
I had heard about and seen arranged marriages between families before. Most of the men who agreed to marry into the family had ulterior motives.
Alternatively, some people who are not good-looking are unlikely to be happy after marriage.
She wouldn't be foolish enough to agree to her father's request.
“I’m a woman, this kind of thing isn’t for me. If Dad really can’t find an heir, then how about Mom has another child, like my brother said?”
"You brat, you're just like your brother, never giving Dad a moment's peace."
Mr. Zhou was so angry that his face turned completely red.
Two children.
A spoiled and willful person.
One that doesn't obey is like a wild horse that has broken free of its reins, doing whatever it wants.
Now, the only person who can control Zhou Jingming is Su Xi.
It seems that only Su Xi can truly help persuade Zhou Jingming to inherit the family business.
"I have another idea. Why don't you and Mom adopt a child to help you manage the family business?"
Maybe my brother will have a change of heart and agree to come back and help.
Zhou Jing suggested.
Zhou's father thought about it and agreed.
He turned to look at Shen Xian beside him, "What do you think?"
Shen Xian shook her head. "This method is not appropriate. You know your son well. Even if you hand over the family to outsiders now, he may not care."
Zhou Jing's suggestion was rejected, and the conversation returned to the previous topic, "Then you and Mom can only have another one."
"Anyway, you two are still young and should be able to have children. I also want a younger brother, so it would be a win-win situation."
Shen Xian sighed helplessly, "I'm already quite old. If I give birth now, wouldn't I become a laughing stock in high society?"
Shen Xian couldn't bring herself to do it.
Previously, Zhou's father was so angry with Zhou Jingming that he mentioned wanting to have another child.
They are all old.
I tried several times, but nothing happened.
The main reason is that I can't bring myself to do it.
Later, I gave up on that idea.
"If this won't work and that won't work, then you can think of another way yourselves. Anyway, I really enjoy acting now, and I'm not going to find a son-in-law who will live with my family. Instead of spending your time on me, you might as well think of a way to get my brother back."
After Zhou Jing finished speaking, she scurried away in a panic.
I'm afraid I'll be caught again and my parents will say something hurtful again.
Mr. Zhou got angry again.
Neither of the two children can be relied upon.
He and Shen Xian had no choice but to continue shouldering the heavy responsibilities of the company.
"Ah Xian, what are your thoughts?" Zhou's father asked.
Shen Xian sighed, "What other way is there? We can start with Xi'er. Your son listens to her so much, as long as she intervenes, he will definitely listen to her."
"Then call Xi'er now and tell her to persuade your unfilial son that if he doesn't come back to inherit the family business, he can just wait to collect his father's corpse."
"They're enjoying their time together abroad right now. Is it appropriate for you to call them now?"
Shen Xian pointed to the news on her phone, practically implying that Zhou's father had no sense of right and wrong.
Mr. Zhou hugged Shen Xian from behind, "Why don't we try again? It just so happens that you're ovulating today, maybe you can really get pregnant."
"Now that we have children, why would we need to rely on that bastard?"
"Instead of hoping I'll give birth, you might as well protect Xi'er and help her have a grandson. That would be more reliable, and you wouldn't have to be pointed at and laughed at by others."
Shen Xian didn't want to try anymore.
After going through so many ordeals, her old body almost fell apart.
The main problem is that Zhou's father is getting old and not as energetic as he used to be. Every time they're in bed, it's like a battle.
"If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. With your son's character, what kind of good child can you expect to have? He'll probably be just as scoundrel as him."
Zhou's father's hands were restless.
Shen Xian pushed it away angrily and said, "If you insult my son, I'll never forgive you!"
Also, no matter how awful he is, he's still your son. When you curse your own son like that, it's not the same as cursing yourself.
"He grew up like this because of your bad genes. Like father, like son—isn't that exactly what you said yourself?"
Mr. Zhou was thoroughly embarrassed and laughed awkwardly, "How could I give birth on my own? It's a combination of our genes."
"So you mean my genes are bad?" Shen Xian asked angrily, her face stern.
Seeing that his wife was angry, Zhou's father quickly coaxed her, "Wife, that's not what I meant. I just think that relying on that scoundrel is not as good as relying on ourselves."
"Can you do it?" Shen Xian looked at him with a face full of doubt.
Zhou's father was speechless once again.
After a long silence, Zhou's father said again, "How about I go see a doctor?"
"You're shameless enough to lose face like this, but I'm not going to play along with your nonsense. If you want to have a child, have it with the woman outside."
After finishing her sentence, Shen Xian turned and went upstairs.
Mr. Zhou was so angry that he kicked the table.
My phone rang at that moment; a message had come in.
When Zhou's father clicked on it, he saw that it was a trending topic about Zhou Jingming.
#So sweet! Zhou Jingming of the Zhou Group and his wife stroll through a shopping street at night, their affection evident throughout.#
When Zhou's father saw the pop-up photo, he angrily tapped Zhou Jingming's face on the screen with his finger.
He snorted, "I bet you were born of a wife, you unfilial brat!"
Meanwhile, Zhou Jingming and Su Xi were eating in the food street.
Su Xi wanted to eat candied hawthorn, but Zhou Jingming refused.
He felt that the food from roadside stalls was unclean.
It will affect the child.
Su Xi wanted to eat barbecue skewers again, but Zhou Jingming still refused.
You can't eat this, and you can't eat that.
Having come to the food street and found it rather dull, Su Xi lost interest and had no intention of continuing.
