Xie Jing took a deep breath and took Zhou Jiwen's arm: "Come on! After we get through tonight, we can have some free time."
Around eight o'clock, Grandpa Zhou took Lin Zhida to the front of the stage. Zhou Zhida stood on the other side of Lin Zhida, and to the side were Fang Qin and Zhou Jiwen.
Although the old man was old, his eyesight and hearing were sharp and he spoke with great vigor. He took the microphone and lovingly touched Lin Zhida's head: "I am very happy today. I have a new grandson. I solemnly introduce this to everyone. This is my little grandson, Zhida."
"This child has suffered a lot in the past, and we only recently found him. I'd appreciate your continued care as he grows up."
The old man didn't mention that the child was Zhou Zhida's, but just looking at the second wife standing on the stage, who in the crowd didn't know? For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Zhou Zhida and the Shen family.
Shen Fu was able to hold her composure, and Shen Yaozhi forced a smile. If she lost her composure at this moment, she would really make others laugh at her. Besides, this was Zhou Zhida's son. As long as he wasn't Zhou Jiwen's son, it wouldn't have such a big impact on her.
After the old man announced the news, he sat down in the audience. The rest was naturally a series of social interactions. Zhou Zhida took Zhida around to meet people, uncles, aunts, and so on, leaving Lin Zhida overwhelmed.
Xie Jing: "You said Zhou Zhida and Zhou Zhida, aren't these names a bit heavy? Didn't you change the child's name?"
Zhou Jiyun: "According to Grandpa's suggestion, my nickname should be Zhida, and my full name should be Zhou Jida."
"Wenda?" Xie Jing chuckled. "Isn't your aunt mad enough to die? She actually connected his name with his son's? Aren't they natural brothers?"
"She wanted to make a scene, but was suppressed by Zhou Jiwen." Zhou Jiyun said softly: "Just looking at this point, you can see that Fang Qin really loves Zhou Jiwen, but whether Zhou Jiwen loves Fang Qin or not is not certain."
Xie Jing understood what he meant: "As a child, I know my father has done something wrong to the family. If I really care about my biological mother, I will stand up for her no matter how much benefit I get. But Zhou Jiwen has no intention of standing up for Fang Qin."
"All he sees is his own interests."
"I knew you understood." Zhou Jiyun smiled. "But their affairs have nothing to do with us. They are just willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten. Fang Qin is quite pitiful. Her husband doesn't care about her dignity, and her son doesn't stand by her."
"What's the point of such a marriage?"
"Maybe they just want the title of Mrs. Zhou," Xie Jing chuckled. "It has nothing to do with us anyway. As long as they're unhappy, we're happy."
"Yes, I want them to be unhappy. Now it seems that Lin Nan is a good tactician." Zhou Jiyun said, pushing his glasses: "She wakes up, and then there will be a good show to watch."
Xie Jing: "You said Lin Nan had been living well in her hometown before, so why did she suddenly come to S City? Did she come here just for Zhou Zhida?"
"It's highly likely," Zhou Jiyun shrugged. "When Zhou Zhida sent Lin Nan away, he did give her some money. Brother Fan has news that Lin Nan kept the child because her health didn't allow for an abortion."
"But it's really difficult for her to raise a child alone. The money Zhou Zhida gave her has been almost spent in the past few years."
Xie Jing: "Actually, if you think about it from a darker perspective, it would be in her best interest to bring Lin Zhida back to her roots at this time."
Zhou Jiyun raised an eyebrow, then heard Xie Jing continue, "Think about it, the child is already five years old, and Lin Nan has always been with him. So in the child's heart, his biological mother must be the best."
"If the child returns to the Zhou family, he will always be thinking about Lin Nan. How can Zhou Zhida not follow his wishes? Then Lin Nan will basically get what he wants."
"If she gives birth to the child and sends it to the Zhou family, will the Zhou family erase all traces of her? She will never be able to see the child again. How will she plan for the future then?"
Xie Jing felt a little dark as she spoke: "Of course, this is my darkest speculation. Maybe she is just an independent and strong girl?"
"Zili Ziqiang, she's been involved with Zhou Zhida?" Zhou Jiyun said sarcastically, "If she wasn't stupid, she should have guessed that Zhou Zhida had a wife and children back then."
"Who doesn't have a family as a grown man? She's just pretending to be ignorant. Once the other party breaks up with her, she'll naturally have reasons to defend herself."
"But honestly, why would a successful man be so passionate about something with a college student? To put it bluntly, isn't it just to get her to do something? It's consensual, and someone just gave it the guise of love."
Xie Jing moved closer to Zhou Jiyun and said in a teasing tone, "A successful man and a female college student? I'm a college student too."
"No, you're a graduate student," Zhou Jiyun smiled. "Success in your career isn't what you call success. A man who can manage his family well is what you call success."
"You have a really strong desire to survive." Xie Jing laughed and felt that Zhou Jiyun was really good at talking.
Zhou Jiyun also laughed: "I have to survive."
Xie Jing was successfully amused. She leaned on Zhou Jiyun's shoulder and laughed so hard that her body shook. Zhou Jiyun had to hold Xie Jing's lower back. As he watched, a smile also appeared on his face.
Chen Yaozhi looked at the two people's actions and couldn't help but curl her lips. She felt that she and Xie Jing didn't get along. How could an unloved and down-and-out daughter marry such an outstanding man as Zhou Jiyun?
And this person was still firmly superior to Zhou Jiwen? And what about me? Would I be a sister-in-law to this down-and-out daughter? Would I always be inferior to her?
Zhou Jiwen was standing next to her. Throughout the entire banquet, he felt that everyone looked at him in a strange way. He knew what they would say, it was nothing more than that Zhou Zhida was in his prime.
Now that he has a younger son, it is unknown how much of the family property Zhou Jiwen will get in the future.
Chen Yaozhi had a good feeling about Zhou Jiwen after all. She clinked glasses with Zhou Jiwen and said, "Tomorrow is the weekend. How about we go to the villa together? I heard there's a villa opened on the outskirts of the city. It's quite elegant. It's a good opportunity to go there and relax."
Zhou Jiwen pursed his lips into a line, feeling annoyed, but in order to appease Chen Yaozhi, he nodded: "Okay, what time tomorrow?"
Chen Yaozhi was happy: "Then we're leaving at 8 o'clock in the morning? It's a pity that I have to work on Monday, otherwise I would definitely stay in the villa for a few days before coming back."
Zhou Jiwen's heart moved: "Okay, then I'll pick you up from your house tomorrow?"
Chen Yaozhi: "Okay, see you tomorrow."
