Besides, Zhao Yunxiang wasn't just worried about Zhou Zhixin; she was also worried about Zhou Jiasheng. Zhou Jiasheng was a young genius, and his current status was so special. If the Zhou family wasn't powerful enough, Zhou Jiasheng might be held captive for research, deprived of even a modicum of freedom. Zhao Yunxiang wanted to find a more powerful in-law for Zhou Jiasheng. Even if the Zhou family fell, Zhou Jiasheng wouldn't have a hard time in the future.
"Yunxiang, I didn't. I really didn't mean anything else." Zhou Zhixin felt powerless. He had never said a word of disdain for Zhao Yunxiang, but why did Zhao Yunxiang change her attitude as they talked?
After work, Zhou Zhixin would often have dinner with a few close friends. When the rough-hewn men had finished their drinks, they would start to complain. Several of Zhou Zhixin's friends had complained repeatedly about how unreasonable women were, well, unreasonable. Ren Dahai, in particular, had been tormented by the two women in his family for some time.
While listening to his old friends' complaints, Zhou Zhixin was also glad that his daughter Yunxiang had always been reasonable and had never caused him any trouble.
But now, Zhou Zhixin was truly bewildered. Today, he had finally witnessed the power of women to be unreasonable and unreasonable.
"Zhixin, we are not the same as before. Have you forgotten? The incident where drugs were placed in the factory years ago?" Seeing that Zhou Zhixin didn't understand, Zhao Yunxiang had to lay out her worries in detail in front of Zhou Zhixin.
"What's wrong with that matter? Wasn't it resolved long ago?" As expected, men's brains are different from women's. Zhou Zhixin focuses on the results, while Zhao Yunxiang is concerned about the process.
"Zhou Zhixin, is it over now that the matter is resolved? Can't you think about it? How was it resolved? Grandpa intervened and asked the No. 1 commander to allow the special operations team to be deployed, so that I could be cleared of the injustice so quickly. If my family were just ordinary people, the factory might have been shut down and I might have been imprisoned." Zhao Yunxiang felt irritated when she talked about that incident. What does it mean to "be at home and disaster strikes"? After that incident, Zhao Yunxiang felt it most deeply.
"Yunxiang, isn't it all settled now? Even the framers have been apprehended. What else are you dissatisfied with?" Zhou Zhixin didn't understand what Zhao Yunxiang was thinking. True, Zhao Yunxiang was nearly wrongly accused, but the instigator of this incident was none other than Zhou Zhixin's former nephew, Zhou Jiaxing. To put it bluntly, this incident stemmed from Zhou Zhixin's poor handling of his relationship with Zhou Chunping's family. It had nothing to do with Zhou Jiasheng and Zhu Xiaojuan's marriage.
"Zhixin, what I want to say is that things are different now than they were before. Before, we were a family, and a little hardship and fatigue was nothing. But now, whenever we get into trouble, there are always people who take advantage of us." Zhao Yunxiang, seeing Zhou Zhixin's refusal to understand, couldn't help but get anxious. For a while now, the scene of Wen Yulong and his soldiers storming the factory that day has been constantly replaying in Zhao Yunxiang's mind.
"Yunxiang, justice will never be extinguished. Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will stand before you and the children." Zhou Zhixin, assuming Zhao Yunxiang was feeling insecure after Wen Yulong's incursion into the factory, quickly declared his feelings. Zhao Yunxiang had dared to challenge Wen Yulong over a worker who was about to have a miscarriage, but afterward, she was still frightened. The next morning, Zhao Yunxiang developed a high fever and remained ill for almost a week.
"How come you don't understand at all? I'm so pissed! Go to sleep!" Zhao Yunxiang saw that Zhou Zhixin still didn't understand what she was saying after all this time. She turned away in anger, closed her eyes, and sulked. Did she want Zhou Zhixin to stand in front of her? She just didn't want Zhou Zhixin to ever experience the same sadness she had experienced: being held at gunpoint, helpless to do anything.
Zhou Zhixin stared at Zhao Yunxiang's back, remaining silent. It wasn't that Zhou Zhixin didn't understand the benefits of an arranged marriage. It was simply that he disdained to seek such advantages. To gain a foothold in the world, did a man have to rely on his children's marriages to increase his leverage? Zhou Zhixin didn't know if others appreciated this "shortcut," but he certainly didn't.
No position is static. Zhou Zhixin feels that if someone is more suitable for his position, he wouldn't mind being replaced. In any endeavor, genuine talent is essential. If forming cliques and factions is effective, wouldn't that be a huge irony for those who work diligently and practically?
Zhou Yuanyuan, using her divine sense, had witnessed the entire argument between Zhao Yunxiang and Zhou Zhixin. After withdrawing her divine sense, Zhou Yuanyuan felt a bit downhearted. Zhao Yunxiang had asked Zhou Jiasheng to marry Zhu Xiaojuan because she was worried about the Zhou family's lack of strength. Did my mother understand that, at this point, the Zhou family was so powerful that it couldn't withstand a challenge from any force in this universe?
It seems that being too low-key isn't a good thing! It actually made Zhao Yunxiang feel insecure. Zhou Yuanyuan wasn't bragging; with her current strength, any high-tech energy weapon would be nothing compared to her. To put it bluntly, if Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't been bothered by the hassle and wanted to be the queen of this secular world, it would have been easy for her.
However, since Zhou Yuanyuan knew Zhao Yunxiang's heart knot, she knew what to do to help her brother.
"Sister, how are you? Can you help me? Just say something!" Zhou Jiasheng didn't know that Zhou Yuanyuan was multitasking. Seeing that Zhou Yuanyuan was still in a daze after he told her the purpose of their visit, he couldn't help but get anxious.
"Brother, tell me honestly, do you have a lover that you like, that's why you are so disgusted with Zhu Xiaojuan?" Zhou Yuanyuan came back to her senses and looked at Zhou Jiasheng with an anxious face, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind.
When Zhou Jiasheng was eight years old, Zhou Yuanyuan used her spiritual energy to comb his meridians, making him several times smarter than the average person. It was just a marriage proposal, and Zhou Jiasheng disagreed, naturally having many ways to dissuade Zhao Yunxiang from the idea. But now, Zhou Jiasheng insisted on bringing this matter to Zhou Yuanyuan, implicitly revealing his dissatisfaction with Zhu Xiaojuan. This was completely out of character for Zhou Jiasheng. You know, there were many girls who liked this from childhood. Even if he didn't like her, he wouldn't openly call Zhu Xiaojuan stupid. Wouldn't that be embarrassing for her?
Therefore, Zhou Yuanyuan judged that Zhou Jiasheng was using this "pitiful tactic" and his purpose was to use her to tell the person Zhou Jiasheng wanted to tell that his family was forcing him to marry.
But from childhood to adulthood, Zhou Yuanyuan had never seen Zhou Jiasheng get close to any girl. Who on earth had stolen her brother's heart?
