Zhou Jianguo felt like there was something stuck in his throat and his face looked extremely embarrassed.

But he couldn't vent the anger in his heart, so he could only laugh dryly and replied: "Okay, then I won't bother you anymore."

Looking at the man who had always been a great man in her heart in the previous life, Zhou Liwan casually threw the clothes that had not been packed yet on the bed and lay down.

Zhou Jianguo is a typical male chauvinist. He grew up in an environment where men are the masters of the world, their words are final and they will never allow anyone to refute them.

Even if I went to college in a big city, this kind of thinking has already been deeply rooted.

But after marrying my mother, a daughter of a wealthy family, in order to get financial support from his father-in-law, he had to listen to my mother's words and be a good husband who adhered to the "three obediences and four virtues".

After years of oppression in status and position, he finally achieved success in his career and his wife died, but he did not expect that her daughter would begin to hinder him in every way.

He felt the same humiliation from before all over again, so he took out all the frustration he'd been feeling for years on himself.

This is why Zhou Liwan never understood why his father didn’t like him.

It wasn't until today that she suddenly realized.

Zhou Liwan's dark and clear eyes stared straight at the ceiling, and tears as big as beans slid down.

The next second, she sat up straight and wiped the tears from her temples.

She took out her cell phone and sent a text message to Shen Nanzhou. After knowing that Shen Nanzhou was on a business trip yesterday, she asked her grandfather for his number.

Green fingers danced quickly on the keyboard.

"Dear uncle, the weather in Guangzhou is hot and humid, so please remember to ask your assistant to put a dehumidifier in the room~"

After sending the text message, Zhou Liwan continued to pack his messy suitcase.

In Yangcheng, Shen Nanzhou, who had just finished a surprise inspection of the factory below overnight and arrived at the hotel in the morning, impatiently untied his tie and threw it directly to the ground.

Before walking into the bathroom, he saw the text message, and the mockery in his eyes flowed unrestrainedly in the room where he was the only one.

She was just like everyone else, trying hard to be nice to herself when she didn't know the truth.

But once I knew about that, I avoided myself as if I were the most disgusting thing in the world, and even breathing the same air in the same space made me feel sick.

If that's the case, why did he show kindness to me in the first place?

The refreshing water flowed across every inch of Shen Nanzhou's skin from top to bottom. Small water droplets kept moving on the undulating muscle lines and finally fell to the ground.

But no matter how long he washed, the gloomy aura on his body was still extremely strong.

Zhou Liwan checked the cell phone lying quietly beside him for the thirty-second time, but two hours had passed and there was no movement at all.

The same thing happened last time when I delivered breakfast. There was no response at all and the person just went on a business trip.

Could it be that he is hiding from me?

Zhou Liwan's mind suddenly flashed and his face turned bitter.

He knew that his uncle was aloof and difficult to get close to, but this was too difficult.

Zhou Liwan felt a little discouraged. He got up and walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

The housekeeper suddenly came over and said that the Xu family father and son had come to apologize, and Zhou Jianguo asked him to go down quickly.

The Xu family father and son?

Could it be Xu Zimu and Uncle Xu?

Zhou Liwan went down to take a look out of curiosity. There were two men sitting in the reception room. Who else could it be but them?

Seeing Zhou Liwan coming down, Father Xu immediately put on a smile and said, "Wanwan is here. I went to the old house early this morning and found out that you had returned to the Zhou family."

Zhou Liwan came up gracefully, holding the handrail of the stairs, and said in a generous voice: "Uncle Xu."

After Zhou Liwan was done, Father Xu said with guilt: "Uncle, I am really sorry for what happened at the banquet last time. This time I brought this bastard here to apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me."

Zhou Liwan slowly looked at Xu Zimu, whose face was covered with bruises, and her pink lips slowly curled up under the other's hateful gaze.

The smile was particularly -- unbridled.

Xu Zimu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, stood up with a bang, turned around and was about to leave.

"Sit down!" Father Xu shouted, "Hurry up and apologize to Wanwan!"

Looking at the impulsive boy who clenched his fists, Zhou Liwan comforted him nonchalantly: "Uncle Xu, it's okay. I'm not angry. It's just a small matter."

Father Xu was once again impressed by Zhou Liwan's open-mindedness. He nodded at Zhou Liwan with appreciation and reached out to pull his naughty son back to his chair.

"Look at Wanwan, she's only a few years older than you, but she's so mature and steady. You're an adult now, can you learn from her and do something serious? Stop causing trouble all day long and making me clean up your mess!"

Xu Zimu was at the age of full vigor and vitality. Now that his father was belittling him in front of a girl, he was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to go against him.

"That's because you want to wipe it. I didn't ask you to do it!" Xu Zimu shouted with his neck stiffened.

Father Xu was so angry that his eyes went dark, and he didn't even care whether he slapped Xu Zimu in front of others.

"Shut up! I think you've been spoiled too much since you were little, which is why you've developed such a naughty personality. When will you grow up and find something to do so that I can look at you differently!"

Xu Zimu's head was hit to the side. He lowered his head and sneered with disdain.

[I want to join the army, but every time I look for you and want to talk to you, you just brush me off and continue working. You don't care about my feelings at all. If I don't do something out of the ordinary, will you still remember that you have a son? ]

The scene was awkward for a moment, Zhou Liwan spoke softly and advised: "Why is Mr. Xu so angry? I think if you want the boy to grow up completely, you should send him to the army to gain some experience."

Xu Zimu turned around and stared at Zhou Liwan in disbelief, his eyes full of questions.

Am I too lucky? This woman just casually mentioned it and it happened to hit the mark of the dream I hadn't expressed for so many years.

Xu Zimu didn't know what his father would think, so he looked at his father with some anticipation and nervousness.

But the words from the other party made him feel cold: "How can the army accept him with a man like him? Isn't this asking for trouble?"

Father Xu retorted without hesitation, causing Xu Zimu's eyes to darken instantly.

The whole person seemed to have lost his soul, completely different from the fearless look just now.

Zhou Liwan felt a little sorry for what he saw, and was about to help him again, but Xu Zimu suddenly said, "I'm sorry."

Zhou Liwan was stunned, staring in surprise at the boy who was smiling cunningly and wantonly on the tree that night.

Suddenly she seemed to see herself. At first, she also had expectations for this home and the so-called relatives.

But the reality always makes us disappointed in our repeated self-deception.
