"Hold!"
"Does my dad mean he suspects I was switched at birth?"
After Lao Zhou left, Zhou Sheng belatedly realized why his father had brought up the matter of the real and fake daughters of the Wang family next door.
His reaction time is so slow it's almost pitiful.
Zong Lian looked at him sympathetically. "Don't think about it anymore. Go to sleep."
Zhou Sheng felt wronged.
Zhou Sheng was unwilling to accept this.
"Cousin, my dad humiliated me, how am I supposed to sleep!"
Zong Lian couldn't help but laugh.
He comforted Zhou Sheng, "Try to think positively. It's not like you haven't been humiliated before."
Zhou Sheng: "..."
Can they be the same?
The past is the past, the present is the present.
From now on, he decided to stop suffering humiliation from Lao Zhou!
However, no sooner had he finished making his grand vows than Old Zhou returned and asked him a question that made his heart race.
"Your Uncle Liu said he thought he saw your car in an urban village, is that true?"
Of course not!
Zhou Sheng wanted to shout those words out loud, but Old Zhou's deep and suspicious gaze filled him with fear.
He could only feign anger, "What kind of eyesight does Uncle Liu have? I was just going to check on the courtyard, and he still managed to run into me. Is he still thinking about making me his live-in son-in-law?"
Upon hearing this, Lao Zhou looked him up and down with a look of disdain. "You?"
The same conversation had just happened ten minutes earlier.
But he was humiliated.
Zhou Sheng did not want to humiliate himself any further, so he chose to remain silent.
Old Zhou then said, "Old Liu's son-in-law has already been chosen. He's a golden phoenix that flew out of the mountains. Except for his family background, he's much better than you in every way. And you're still secretly happy about it."
Zhou Sheng: "..."
I got caught again.
But what's wrong with him secretly enjoying it?
If being a live-in son-in-law in the Liu family were so easy, he wouldn't be stuck here being a useless son of Old Zhou!
...
Old Zhou had no idea what Zhou Sheng was thinking.
He had drunk some wine that night and was already sleepy. Before Zhou Sheng could say anything outrageous, he yawned and left.
After making sure that Lao Zhou was really asleep and wouldn't suddenly resurrect, Zhou Sheng reverted to his rebellious nature.
"They talk about Lao Liu all the time."
"Cousin, do you think my dad is really trying to sell his son for personal gain?"
Zong Lian: "..."
My uncle was still kind.
Next time, we should hit harder.
As they went upstairs, Zhou Sheng observed Zong Lian's expression and tentatively asked, "I'm going to the hotel early tomorrow morning, cousin, are you coming?"
Zong Lian: "I'm not going."
It will rain tomorrow.
Perfect for sleeping in late.
He decided to try sleeping in and experience the charm of sleeping in.
...
The next day.
Zhou Shengtian woke up before dawn.
Before setting off, he knocked on Zong Lian's door to see how Zong Lian would react.
Zong Lian gave him a single word.
"roll!"
Zhou Sheng had no choice but to gracefully leave the Zhou family.
Perhaps he's overthinking it.
How could someone like my cousin possibly have any feelings for Yan Can?
He must be overthinking it!
...
When he went out, it was drizzling.
After walking for only a few minutes, the water flow had already become like a pillar.
Zhou Sheng was driving, feeling extremely agitated.
"ah!"
"The rain can fall whenever it wants, and Old Zhou can yell at me whenever he wants. Tsk, they're all so immature!"
As a result, once he arrived at the hotel, he encountered someone even more clueless.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, Miss Yan hasn't gotten up yet and can't see you."
This is the manager.
"He who eats another's food is obligated to him," and since Yan Can bought the food for the receptionist, he had to fulfill his duty.
Zhou Sheng couldn't help but chuckle. "She told you she hadn't gotten up yet?"
The manager shook his head. "Miss Yan told me last night that she wants to sleep in today and that I don't need to bring her breakfast."
Zhou Sheng found it fascinating.
He asked the manager, "Am I the young master and is she the young master?"
Manager: "Of course it's you."
Zhou Sheng was speechless. "Then why did you stop me when I said I wanted to see Yan Can?"
The manager stated unequivocally: "Miss Yan is a guest. The hotel's motto is that guests are God, and we must make them feel at home."
Who doesn't sleep until they naturally wake up when they get home?
Zhou Sheng sneered, "Then why don't you set up a cross-shaped luxury suite and nail all your distinguished guests to it?"
manager:"……"
Does his mention of going home actually include this meaning?
The manager tried to explain, but Zhou Sheng interrupted him.
"Fine, let her sleep as much as she wants. I'll just be by myself for a while."
He compromised.
The proud Mr. Zhou could never have imagined that this would be the beginning of his life of compromise.
...
"Sister, could you please bring lunch to my room?"
Yan Can had just finished making the call when the door rang.
"Huh, it's you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Sheng felt wronged.
"How can it still be me?"
Do you know how long I've waited for you?
"A full five hours!"
His mournful tone almost made Yan Can laugh.
but.
"Who made you wait?"
Yan Can said.
Zhou Sheng was taken aback.
Yan Can continued, "You came so early, and you came specifically to find me, so you must have heard from the front desk that I wanted to sleep in. Knowing that, you still insisted on waiting, and for such a long time, which means you were willing to do it. So what are you complaining about?"
Zhou Sheng: "..."
Did he complain?
Looking back on my tone, it seems there was nothing wrong with it.
But Yan Can's words made him realize that he was wrong.
Just as he was about to engage in deep reflection, Yan Can spoke up, "There won't be a next time. Come in."
