Zhou Yuanyuan didn't take the car. When she had something on her mind, she liked to take a walk while thinking about it. From Wen Ziqing's participation in the war to Yu Meiru's family affairs, Zhou Yuanyuan had a lot on her mind.
Some people are born with weaker kinship, like Wen Ziqing. Isn't his background good enough? In the eyes of others, people like Wen Ziqing are simply the chosen ones of heaven. With the support of two large families, the Wen family and the Cao family, everything he does can be twice as effective with half the effort. But what is the reality? From birth to now, Wen Ziqing's path has been much more difficult than that of ordinary people. Because he lost his mother at an early age, the young Wen Ziqing was tabooed by his stepmother and disliked by his biological father. At such a young age, he only knew how to bury his head in books, immersed in his own world. Even with the appreciation of his grandfather Wen Yiran, Wen Ziqing still needed to work harder than others to gain recognition from others.
The same goes for Yu Meiru. Because her mother died early, Yu Meiru is extremely insecure psychologically. No matter how Yu Xiaohan treats her, Yu Meiru always suspects that Yu Xiaohan will do something bad to her under the instigation of her stepmother. When Yu Xiaohan interferes in her marriage, Yu Meiru keeps asking Zhao Guohui to run away.
Fortunately, Yu Meiru had a good eye for people and fell in love with Zhao Guohui, a man with a shrewd appearance but a simple heart. This is why Yu Meiru is living a happy and peaceful life now. If the man Yu Meiru ran away with was an ungrateful person, who knows how Yu Meiru would live now?
Therefore, the role of mother is indispensable in anyone's life, and children with the protection of their mother will always be happier than children without a mother.
Zhou Yuanyuan admired Yu Meiru greatly. Yu Xiaohan's wealth was among the highest in Hong Kong. If Yu Meiru had been a little more selfish and agreed to hand Zhao Yu over to Yu Xiaohan, then Zhao Yu would undoubtedly have inherited Yu Xiaohan's wealth. However, Yu Meiru rejected this temptation.
Yu Meiru's refusal to allow Zhao Yu to follow Yu Xiaohan to Hong Kong Island stemmed, on the one hand, from maternal concern, and on the other, from fear that Zhao Yu would suffer if she left her. A two-year-old child needs a mother's care, and no amount of wealth can buy true love.
Although Yu Xiaohan was now a wealthy family, a fortune Yu Meiru might never have amassed even with her lifelong efforts, she rejected the allure of wealth and chose to let Zhao Yu grow up by her side. She believed that cold money could not replace the love a family has for a child. Even if Zhao Yu grew up and might blame Yu Meiru for her choice, she would not regret it.
In her previous life, Zhou Yuanyuan also fell into a painful marriage because she lost Zhao Yunxiang's protection. It's understandable that the role of mother is indispensable in everyone's heart. A mother is a strong mother, and Zhao Yunxiang's current success also represents her efforts for her children and family.
Thinking of Zhao Yunxiang, Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but think of Hu Sanniang. Over a month ago, Hu Sanniang had told Zhou Yuanyuan that an old friend she hadn't seen in years had sent her an invitation to attend her youngest son's wedding. The people Hu Sanniang associated with were, naturally, of the same ilk: fairies.
Zhou Yuanyuan thought that Hu Sanniang had been devoted to her over the years, so she approved her vacation.
Now that she thought about it, Hu Sanniang's vacation had exceeded her limit by two or three days. Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but feel a little strange. Hu Sanniang had always been a careful and cautious person. She didn't tell Zhou Yuanyuan that her vacation had exceeded her limit, which was not in line with Hu Sanniang's style at all.
However, Zhou Yuanyuan wasn't overly worried about Hu Sanniang. For years, Hu Sanniang had stayed outside Zhou Yuanyuan's door every night to absorb spiritual energy, and the cracks in her inner core had been mostly repaired. According to Xiaoyu, Hu Sanniang, now with her inner core repaired, was very powerful and could even fight Zhou Yuanyuan. Furthermore, Hu Sanniang and Zhou Yuanyuan had a master-servant contract, so Zhou Yuanyuan would be aware if Hu Sanniang was injured or died.
So far, Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't sensed any danger from Hu Sanniang. Perhaps Hu Sanniang had lost track of time while having fun! That was the only way Zhou Yuanyuan could think.
Zhou Yuanyuan was lost in thought as she leisurely strolled to Zhou's house. It was sunset.
Zhou Xi was about to go out with a small travel bag in his hand when he saw Zhou Yuanyuan coming. He quickly shouted into the house: "Master, the young lady sees you coming." After shouting, Zhou Xi turned back and said to Zhou Yuanyuan with a smile on his face: "Young lady, the master has been thinking about you these days! Stay and have dinner with the master tonight, right? Where is the young master? I haven't seen him for many days. I wonder how he is doing at school?"
"Okay." Zhou Yuanyuan nodded. She knew Zhou Xi's loyalty to General Zhou, caring about both his daily needs and his desire for family affection. Every time Zhou Yuanyuan and the Zhou family came over, Zhou Xi would smile from ear to ear.
Zhou Xi's chatty questions were always answered by Zhou Yuanyuan, who only chose to answer the parts about herself. Before meeting Zhou Xi, she had thought he was a reclusive person who rarely spoke. After getting to know him, Zhou Yuanyuan realized he had a habit of nagging, sometimes drifting off into other topics. For example, right now, Zhou Xi and Zhou Yuanyuan were talking about Zhou Jiasheng. Zhou Yuanyuan had no idea about his situation, and even if she wanted to answer, she couldn't.
No wonder, General Zhou is a man of few words. If Zhou Xi doesn't talk more in front of him, General Zhou will become even more silent.
"Young lady, I'll leave the master in your care for the next few days." Zhou Xi was even happier when he saw Zhou Yuanyuan's straightforward response. He was worried that General Zhou would pick up his smoking habit again after he left, but with Zhou Yuanyuan watching over him, he felt relieved.
"Grandpa Xi, where are you going?" Zhou Yuanyuan asked curiously when she saw that Zhou Xi looked like he was going on a long journey.
In the past few years, Zhou Xi had rarely left Kyoto. He had resigned from his position as deputy captain of the Special Operations Team three years ago. Over the years, everything had been peaceful, with no unusual incidents. Zhou Xi only held a sinecure in the Special Operations Team and had never officially taken action.
Besides, Zhou Xi is about the same age as General Zhou and should have retired long ago.
After retirement, Zhou Xi stayed by the side of General Zhou, who could not retire, every day, and strictly urged General Zhou to correct various bad habits, forbidding him to do this or that. General Zhou couldn't help but joked that Zhou Xi might have been born with the wrong gender. He looked like an old man, but at heart he was a nagging old woman.
