Zhou Jian'an was in a bad mood and kicked the coffee table. Zhou Chufei frowned and yelled, "What the hell are you doing, throwing a tantrum!"
"Why are you throwing a tantrum! You're utterly useless! You ruined a perfectly good factory! I've been in the mainland for years, and you haven't improved a bit. With your pig brain, you're nowhere near as good as your sister! If I had known your sister would become the richest woman, I should have taken her with me when we divorced! Even your second sister is a screenwriter, and your third sister is a famous actress. They're both doing better than you! Look at you, a lump of mud that can't be plastered on a wall! What use are you to me!"
Zhou Jian'an was furious and gave Zhou Chufei a good scolding.
Zhou Chufei was impatient and irritable. He really wanted to beat up Zhou Jian'an, but he was about to get married. It wasn't easy for a man like him, without a job or a house, to find a wife. The other party's family was well-off, and they only had one child. They wanted Zhou Chufei to move in and become a live-in son-in-law.
Zhou Chufei wanted a home. Over the years, he realized that he had no desire for wealth or any other thoughts; he just wanted a home.
Perhaps he was wrong back then, but he has already paid the price.
He doesn't want to be stuck in the past; he wants a fresh start.
Zhou Chufei held back. "No matter how bad I am, I'm still better than you! Who do you think you are, daring to lecture me! Let me tell you, this is my home now, I'm getting married soon, if you don't want to live here, then get out! You'd better die out there and never come back!"
"I'm broke, and you dare talk to me like that? Zhou Chufei, don't forget who's in charge here!" Zhou Jian'an glared and shouted.
Bang!
Zhou Chufei closed the door and walked out.
He was wearing a black hoodie and black pants, and he appeared somewhat silent as he walked through the crowd.
Zhou Jian'an's return put him in a bad mood. Zhou Chufei actually wanted to start over, but Zhou Jian'an's appearance made him feel that he could only be dragged into the mud for the rest of his life.
Zhou Chufei went downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes. His girlfriend, He Meili, was still downstairs when she saw him and hugged him.
"Is that your dad? Why does he look like that?"
Zhou Chufei didn't know how to say it, "I came back from the mainland."
"He won't stay with us forever, will he? My parents aren't very happy with you to begin with, and if you stay together all the time, there will definitely be conflicts."
Zhou Chufei could only give her a perfunctory reply.
As Zhou Chufei grew older, he lost the obesity he had in his youth. After losing weight, Zhou Chufei realized that he was actually quite good-looking, a discovery that came a little too late.
He Meili comes from a well-off family, and she was attracted to Zhou Chufei's looks, thinking his handsome face was a guarantee of a comfortable life. That's why she was with him. Zhou Chufei's circumstances were too poor, which He Meili was already dissatisfied with. Now that Zhou Jian'an has returned, looking disheveled and down on his luck, he'll definitely become a burden to them in the future.
"We're getting married, Chu Fei. Think it over carefully and don't let your father affect our relationship."
Zhou Chufei nodded in agreement and hugged He Meili. He actually liked He Meili quite a bit. He Meili wasn't particularly beautiful, but she had a gentle, refined quality that made her easy to feel comfortable around. Zhou Chufei felt very safe with her.
He's not a good person at all. He gambled a lot of money in his younger days and had no plans for life. Now that he's this old, he seems to have figured things out, but he has a lot of bad habits. He has no money and no house. It's a miracle that he has a woman with him.
How could he dare to be picky?
Zhou Chufei genuinely wanted to marry He Meili. The two planned to continue renting a house until He Meili's family bought a new one, at which point they would move in. However, Zhou Jian'an suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Zhou Chufei was even more annoyed than He Meili; he would feel bad whenever he saw Zhou Jian'an.
Zhou Chufei plans to get married to He Meili next month.
Zhou Jian'an's situation was an unexpected turn of events, but He Meili couldn't bear to give him up. Besides, Zhou Chufei was willing to become a live-in son-in-law, and their future children would take He Meili's surname, which was a good thing for the He family.
When Zhou Jian'an returned to the port city, he felt terrible.
The port city has changed too much, and society is developing rapidly. Zhou Jian'an seems to be falling behind the times, and nothing he does goes smoothly.
The electric fan factory's accounts hadn't looked good for several years. The land lease was expiring, and the government wanted to use the land for other purposes. Zhou Jian'an didn't have the ability to find another place to rebuild the factory and start over.
The electric fan factory still has some old machines, which Zhou Jian'an plans to sell to hopefully get some money back.
However, the electric fan factory still has some outstanding debts. After paying off the debts, there won't be much money left, so it's all for nothing!
"Damn it, that bastard Zhou Chufei, he managed the factory so badly! He's a complete scoundrel! Zhou Chuyu can become the richest man, how come he's utterly useless? I should have just strangled him back then!" Zhou Jian'an cursed.
He went to a roadside newsstand and bought a newspaper, where he saw news about Zhou Chuchu again.
Zhou Chuchu!
Zhou Jian'an sneered. If Zhou Chuyu didn't give him the money, would Zhou Chuchu dare not give it back? Zhou Jian'an remembered that this youngest daughter was the most timid and would cry if scared. He might as well extort some money from Zhou Chuchu.
Once Zhou Jian'an made up his mind, he found out which neighborhood Chu Chu's mansion was in from newspaper rumors. Zhou Jian'an was very familiar with Hong Kong, and after making inquiries, he found Chu Chu's exact address. Zhou Jian'an then waited outside Chu Chu's house.
Chu Chu recently finished filming a new movie. She has spent a lot of time with Long Cheng in recent years, and only makes one high-quality film a year. Anyway, she is not short of money, and she doesn't want to make those filler films anymore.
This movie is also a Hollywood blockbuster. This year, Chuchu also did voice acting for an animated film produced by Blue Sky Studios. Her work schedule for the year is almost complete. After finishing today's promotional video shoot, Chuchu plans to move to Longcheng.
