Zhou Wenyan was stunned. He raised his head suddenly and stared at Mr. Zhou in disbelief. "Grandpa, what do you mean by this?"
"Like it or not?"
"I have no idea."
Zhou Wenyan murmured, "I wish Gu Ning had a good death, but when I heard that something happened to Gu Ning, my heart tightened again."
He hated himself for being incompetent, as it was clear that Gu Ning had harmed him and his mother.
However, when grandpa asked this question, he actually felt a little secretly happy.
That kind of complexity made Zhou Wenyan look down on himself.
Mr. Zhou stared at his grandson for a moment.
He could see the confusion, pain and hatred on Zhou Wenyan's face.
My grandson!
Instead of being as decisive as the Zhou family, they were more indecisive.
This kind of character is destined to fail in achieving great things.
Mr. Zhou sighed and was about to say something when a voice suddenly came from outside, "Wen Yan, Wen Yan, are you at home?"
It was Katsuo's voice.
She is a tomboy. She grew up with Zhou Wenyan, and it is not an exaggeration to call them childhood sweethearts.
To be more precise, they are like good brothers.
Shengnan has always acted as a good brother to Zhou Wenyan.
"grandfather?"
Zhou Wenyan shouted in a low voice.
Mr. Zhou waved his hand, "Okay, you go find Sheng Nan."
Zhou Wenyan hummed, lowered his head and left.
He didn't dare to be alone with the old man, especially because his grandfather's scrutinizing eyes made him frightened.
After Zhou Wenyan left.
Mr. Zhou did not look away. He looked at the young men and women outside through the glass window.
To be fair, my grandson is not without merit.
At least, he looks very good, with fair complexion, handsome facial features, and the glasses frames make him look a little more bookish.
It is the one that lesbians like the most now.
Look!
Outside, Shengnan was a favored person at home, but in front of Wen Yan, he was a little humble. There was a flattering look in that bright smile that she didn't even realize.
Shengnan likes Wenyan, and he has done so since he was a child.
However, this child has always been with Wen Yan as a brother.
Including, when Wen Yan was engaged to the Gu family's savior, Sheng Nan cried for several days.
After crying, he came to Zhou's house again, hugged Wen Yan, and said that they were good brothers for life.
The young lesbian's love could be hidden from Wen Yan, but it could not be hidden from the eyes of an old man like him who had experienced a lifetime.
Mr. Zhou held the crutch in his hand and rubbed it carefully with his rough and old knuckles.
Comrade Lu next to him didn't dare to say anything. He knew that at this time, Mr. Zhou was thinking about things.
really.
It didn't take long.
Mr. Zhou suddenly spoke, "Lao Lu, tell me, is Shengnan suitable for our family banquet, or is she suitable?"
They all knew who she was.
It's Gu Ning.
That girl, they all misjudged her.
At first, she thought she was the granddaughter of an old comrade, and she saved her grandson. The two young people got engaged because of their close relationship.
However, Mr. Zhou had to admit that the only person he misjudged was this little girl Gu Ning.
Everything has changed since the breakup of the engagement.
In order to plot against Wen Yan so that she could break off the engagement, she even killed her own sister.
Although Wen Yan is engaged to Gu Ning, she still has a deep love for her engagement partner's sister.
However, that girl Gu Ning's methods were too vicious. With one move, Wen Yan was crippled, and her biological sister was also crippled.
What's more, even the Gu family behind her had no room to parry in her hands.
The Gu family used to be a prosperous family with a large population!
All of a sudden, families were destroyed, people were thrown into jail, people were killed, people were shot, and there was basically no good ending.
As for settling down, let alone that.
Comrade Lu next to him has been partnered with Mr. Zhou for a lifetime, and he knows the other person's character best.
At this moment, it was not so much the other party who was asking him.
It would be better to say that the other party has already made a decision.
However, he still wanted to answer this question.
He considered it and said, "Let's see what you want? Sheng Nan's girl has her back against a big tree and is the only girl in the family. She is very pampered. By marrying her, Wen Yan has accepted everyone in Sheng Nan's family.
help, but Gu Ning’s words——”
He paused for a moment, remembering the information from past investigations, even from the perspective of an outsider like him.
That girl Gu Ning is also excellent and worthy of being the mistress of the house.
In other words, there is no one more suitable than Gu Ning.
His mind, means, appearance, and conduct in life are all top-notch.
That is the top existence.
However, the shortcomings are also obvious.
Comrade Lu thought for a while and came to a conclusion, "Gu Ning is not bad, but Wen Yan can't control her."
Once you say this.
The room suddenly fell silent.
Mr. Zhou subconsciously turned the walnut in his hands faster and faster, until finally, only an afterimage was left.
His eyes rested on the faces of the young men and women outside the window for a moment, and then he muttered, "That's what you said."
"Wen Yan, I can't control Gu Ning."
On the contrary, the entire Zhou family will be destroyed because of Gu Ning.
Even though he doesn't like Gu Ning now, he has to admit the fact.
Gu Ning is so outstanding that even his grandson would be put in a position where he would be discouraged.
Comrade Lu lowered his head three points and did not dare to interrupt at will, but he could not hold back.
"Old comrade, which one do you like more?"
Mr. Zhou suddenly smiled, then turned and left without answering the question.
Instead, he suddenly asked, "What do you think of Zhiyuan?"
Comrade Lu was a little surprised. He suddenly looked up and blurted out without thinking, "The number one person in the courtyard."
There is no one better than him in the entire compound.
Not only in the compound, but also in the army, Zhou Zhiyuan is also a top-notch presence.
However, he didn't understand what Mr. Zhou meant by suddenly asking this question.
Mr. Zhou had a proud look on his face, but he soon became lonely.
"If Zhiyuan comes back in the evening, remember to come find me whether I'm resting or not."
Comrade Lu said yes and watched Mr. Zhou leave.
Somewhat confused.
He focused his attention again on the young man and woman who were chatting happily and were about to enter the room, but he was thinking about it in his heart.
Are you optimistic about Wen Yan and Sheng Nan?
Have you given up on Gu Ning?
still??
Comrade Lu was a little confused. These things were not his thing to worry about. If he had such a mind, he would not be a deputy, but would be in the position of Mr. Zhou.
…
After Zhou Zhiyuan returned to the police station from the Gu family.
Then he received a message from a comrade at the police station that someone from the Zhou family had something to do with him.
Zhou Zhiyuan listened expressionlessly, returned to the small office, picked up the old documents, and began to continue reading.
It turned out that it was half past eleven, so he picked up his coat and put it on casually.
Turn around and return to Zhou's house.
When Zhou Zhiyuan returned to Zhou's house, he did not disturb the family, and even did not turn on the lights.
However, when he passed by the sofa in the living room, his eyesight comparable to that of a sniper made him notice the old man lying on the sofa.
The old man was very restless in his sleep. When he heard the sound, he opened his sleepy eyes and asked, "Are you back?"
Zhou Zhiyuan paused and hummed, "Dad, why don't you go inside to rest?"
"Wait for you!"
Mr. Zhou suppressed his anger and said, "I want to see if you still know that you have a family!"
Zhou Zhiyuan simply turned on the light, and with a click, the huge hall was suddenly brightly lit.
He pursed his lips and said in a cold voice, "I'm working overtime tonight."
"Working overtime? In this small police station, what's so good about it that you have to work overtime?"
These words made Zhou Zhiyuan look up instantly.
He said word by word, "Father, as someone who used to be in the organization, I think your tone is not very good."
It was rare for him to speak such long words, but when he spoke he was educating people.
"It's not your turn to teach me a lesson!"
Mr. Zhou was so angry that he held a cane and was about to greet Zhou Zhiyuan, "How long do you plan to wait at that shabby police station?"
Zhou Zhiyuan could avoid it, but he didn't.
Instead, he firmly embraced this crutch.
He groaned and said nothing.
Mr. Zhou looked angry and distressed at the same time, "You didn't come back when I asked you to go home for dinner tonight, and you didn't listen when I asked you to leave the police station. Do you have to make me angry to death?"
"Dad, don't get involved in my affairs."
"I won't get involved. If I don't get involved, you will completely destroy the Zhou family's connections.
Zhou Zhiyuan, Zhou Zhiyuan, do you still know that you are the heir to the Zhou family?"
Zhou Zhiyuan pursed his lips, "Why did you call me back?"
His voice was a little cold, and under the light, his facial features were surprisingly cold, as if they were covered with a layer of ice.
"Let you leave—" Gu family, stay away from Gu Ning.
Mr. Zhou couldn't hold back saying this sentence.
He simply achieved a more direct goal, "return to the army."
Zhou Zhiyuan: "I will go back, but not now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to go to the bedroom on the second floor.
But Mr. Zhou suddenly stopped him, "Wen Yan is getting engaged. Do you think it's better to marry Liao Shengnan? Or marry Gu Ning?"
The last few words were like a thunder.
Zhou Zhiyuan, who was supposed to be going up the stairs, suddenly stopped. He turned back suddenly with extremely sharp eyes, "Dad, what did you just say?"
"You must be an old fool, aren't you?"
This was a rare display of his emotions, extremely intense.
really.
It was the guess in his mind. Mr. Zhou's heart sank, "Why am I confused? Men should be married when they are older, and women should be married when they are older. This is the law of nature."
"Wen Yanhe——"
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
He was interrupted by Zhou Zhiyuan. His face was stern and he was not angry, he said, "Studying fine arts at a literary banquet means that he has separated from the mainstream team, and marrying Liao Shengnan can make up for this shortcoming."
He lowered his eyes, his eyes dim, "Only in this way can Zhou Wenyan have a chance to take over the Zhou family, right?"
"And this is the result you want, isn't it?"
The Zhou family has always maintained balance and warmth on the surface.
At this moment, all the interests were spread out on the table between the father and son.
Mr. Zhou's face instantly turned pale. He had always known that his little boy was smart.
But I never thought that he would be so smart.
Unexpectedly, the things that he had been pretending to be peaceful would be exposed by him.
"Wen Yan married Sheng Nan, what about you? What are your plans?"
Mr. Zhou took a deep breath.
Zhou Zhiyuan's footsteps paused, and his big, well-jointed hands knocked on the stair railing, three times, but more than three times, bringing silent pressure to people.
His eyes were calm and he said coldly, "Zhou Wenyan married Liao Shengnan, should I give him a chance to take over the Zhou family from me?"
"Father, what do you think?"
"Dad, promise him, promise him."
At some point, Yao Huiru, wearing pajamas and disheveled hair, rushed out and said with a bit of urgency.
Yao Huiru's only regret in her life was that her son could not inherit the Zhou family.
However, she did not regret not letting her son go to the Academy of Fine Arts.
Because the former is a right, but the latter is a life.
You have to choose between power and life, you can't have both.
But Zhou Zhiyuan's words gave Yao Huiru an opportunity.
An opportunity to have the best of both worlds.
Mr. Zhou was silent, his breathing was a little heavy, and Yao'er had no sense of belonging and was out of control. This had always been his biggest worry.
However, if it is handed over to Wen Yan in the future.
The above problem no longer exists.
Zhiyuan is suitable for hard work, while Wenyan's personality is suitable for success.
After a long while, Mr. Zhou finally said, "Zhiyuan, what are your conditions?"
Zhou Zhiyuan stood on the stairs and stared at them condescendingly, "From now on, you are not allowed to have any interference in my affairs."
These words made the room instantly quiet.
Yao Huiru, who had been hugging her with joy, suddenly turned ferocious.
She threw herself towards the stairs, but she didn't hit anyone, but fell on the stairs.
She climbed up and looked up at the tall, stern-faced man who was as handsome as a celestial being.
"You - you are paving the way for her, paving the way for her, right?"
She knew it, she knew it.
How could such a cruel person like Zhou Zhiyuan be so kind-hearted all of a sudden?
He is kind-hearted and supports his son to reach the center of power in the future.
Zhou Zhiyuan looked at her condescendingly and said in a cold tone, "It has nothing to do with you."
But Zhou Wenyan, who had been hiding in the dark, stood up at some point. He was a little confused, "Uncle, who are you paving the way for?"
Isn't it him?
Previously, he clearly heard that his uncle said that he would take over the Zhou family from the other party in the future.
Zhou Wenyan's question made him quiet again.
Yao Huiru giggled like a crazy woman, and she raised her finger and pointed at Zhou Zhiyuan.
"Tell me? Why didn't you tell your nephew? Who are you paving the way for?"
"Do you dare? Do you dare to tell him?"
Zhou Zhiyuan's face suddenly turned cold.
"If you continue talking, I don't mind using methods within the scope of the law to make the Yao family lose the third generation of the Yao family."
Once you say this.
Yao Huiru instantly felt like an old hen being strangled by the neck. She was stunned. She raised her hand and pointed tremblingly at Zhou Zhiyuan.
For a long while, I couldn't say a word.
Zhou Zhiyuan ignored her at all, but looked at Zhou Wenyan, "Liao Shengnan, will you marry me?"
