"Wow, that's a lot."
Zhou Siyu rattled off a long list of Zhou Sijue's shortcomings, while also praising Yu Wei to the skies.
Am I really that bad?
Zhou Sijue said he was very hurt, because it turned out that in his younger brother's eyes he was a selfish, narrow-minded, stubborn, arrogant and self-righteous person.
“Of course, you also have paranoia, you're always suspicious of everything. I suggest you go to the hospital to get checked out, to see how severe your paranoia is.” Zhou Siyu earnestly advised, “Don’t be ashamed, early detection and treatment are key…”
"I can't trust anyone, you know that."
Zhou Sijue lowered his head with a bitter smile. In such a ruthless family, trusting others at will was tantamount to courting death, and he had known this for a long time.
"I know, I know." Zhou Siyu waved his hand. "Any other questions? If not, settle the appearance fee."
Why do you like Yu Wei?
Zhou Sijue was always curious: Didn't Zhou Siyu initially dislike Yu Wei? How did she suddenly fall in love with him?
“Because he gave me so many things I’ve never had before.” Zhou Siyu gently stroked the ring on her finger. “Being with him, I learned what it feels like to be loved for the first time.”
He had never felt love; no one loved him, and he didn't love anyone. His feelings for Chu Yunmu weren't love, but merely an obsession, an obsession with memories.
Seeing Zhou Sijue's bewildered expression, Zhou Siyu pouted and waved her hand dismissively: "Forget it, you're a single dog, you wouldn't understand."
"Anything else? Anything else?"
Zhou Sijue thought about it and realized that he really couldn't give it to Zhou Siyu. Zhou Siyu was also his father's child and had the same right to inherit. Before leaving the family, he had always regarded him as a rival.
However, he gave Chu Yunmu quite a lot, it's just that the time frame wasn't as long.
“Trust,” Zhou Siyu said solemnly, his expression extremely serious. “This is something we would never have, absolute trust.”
He and Zhou Sijue are the same kind of people: selfish, narrow-minded, and extreme. They don't trust anyone, and they even keep secrets from those around them.
But Yu Wei was different. The Yu family was very united, unlike other large families that were full of infighting. In addition, Yu Wei's upbringing was relatively monotonous, and he was exposed to positive and sunny things. Everyone in his eyes was a trustworthy friend.
"Is he really that stupid?"
Zhou Sijue was puzzled, but he had to admit that he envied Yu Wei.
Yu Wei didn't hear things like, "Look how much better the kid next door is than you," "How come you're only second place?" "How come you're only ten points ahead of second place?" "What's the use of raising you?" "How could I have such a stupid son like you!" from a young age. Instead, he heard things like, "My baby is so amazing!" "My darling son is so great!" "You've improved again, what kind of reward do you want?"
Lin Ling and Yu Zhen taught him loyalty, filial piety, propriety, and righteousness, not scheming against people's hearts. He saw brotherly love and respect, not fratricide.
Instead of staying at home facing endless tutoring sessions and competitions, he spent his holidays at amusement parks, aquariums, and parks.
He envied Yu Wei for living in the sunshine, for always being as bright and dazzling as the sun, and for always being the most eye-catching star in the crowd, no matter where he was.
"He's not stupid!" Zhou Siyu pouted in dissatisfaction. How could someone insult someone like that? Yu Wei is clearly a sincere, kind, and pure person.
"I understand, I understand, he's sincere, kind, sunny, cheerful, and optimistic, okay?" Zhou Sijue rolled her eyes. "By the way, when are you coming back? You're not planning to stay on Planet Twenty-Eight forever, are you?"
“It’s a nice place. The four seasons are distinct, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the people are kind and honest. You should really take some time to experience it and maybe even learn to control your temper.” Zhou Siyu walked to the balcony, looking at the rushing river and the rolling mountains in the distance. “I’m planning to build a sanatorium and resort here. Do you want to join me?”
"Are you really planning to completely sever ties with the Chu family?"
Zhou Sijue frowned slightly. Who in high society didn't know that tourism, retirement, and vacations were the Chu family's major pillar industries? Zhou Siyu was clearly trying to steal food from the Chu family.
"I have no choice, I still need to eat."
Zhou Siyu remained calm. He wasn't the only one who disliked the Chu family. Besides, the Chu family was currently in dire straits, having offended both the Yu and Lin families. Chu Sheng's life was not going to be easy.
The common people can't fight against the officials; those who play with money will ultimately lose to those who wield guns. After all, money can buy bulletproof vests, but it can't protect against mortars and bombs.
"Take my advice, don't follow Zhou Qi around like that." Zhou Siyu tapped the railing lightly. "Zhou Qi won't hand the Zhou family over to you."
"He only has one son, who else would he give him to if not me?" Zhou Sijue sneered. Zhou Siyu must have heard some rumors and is trying to rally allies for the Yu family.
“Zhou Siyun also has the right to inherit.”
"She gave up her inheritance rights and went to the Oran Laboratory to research the secret realm." Zhou Sijue stretched. "As long as you don't fight me for it..."
“Zhou Qi has an illegitimate son, born to the head of the Zheng family on the 28th planet, who is currently studying at the First Star Region Alliance University.” Zhou Siyu smiled slightly; he could easily imagine Zhou Sijue’s expression now, which must have been one of surprise.
He was also surprised when he first met Zheng Li. He looked so much like Zhou Qi, with almost identical eyebrows and eyes, only more youthful and immature.
"No, you're kidding, right?"
Zhou Sijue couldn't believe it. When had Zhou Qi ever been to the Twenty-Eighth Planet?
"I guessed, just reminding you." Zhou Siyu blew away the falling petals and flicked her hand nonchalantly: "Don't forget, Zhou Qi only wants an obedient puppet. The kind of person he is doesn't care about family ties."
