Chapter 377: Chapter 377: You Understand Moral Kidnapping Chapter 377: Chapter 377: You Understand Moral Kidnapping Zhou Shuyan: “…”
“No, no.” Fearing another misunderstanding, Zhou Shuyan didn’t dare to beat around the bush any longer and said directly, “I am actually the CEO of Chengzhou Group.”
“Oh, the CEO of Chengzhou Group, huh? From what you just said, it sounded like you had committed a cri or were even wanted.” Lu Zhenguo smirked, “Can’t you just speak plainly? Why make it sound so suspicious and let others misunderstand?”
Especially since Lu Zhenguo recalled that it was precisely because of his severe injuries on the roadside that he had encountered Lu Youxi and Grandma Xu, which couldn’t help but make him wonder if Zhou Shuyan was involved in the underworld.
It was only later, when he saw that Zhou Shuyan indeed had a legitimate job in the Imperial Capital, that Lu Zhenguo felt reassured.
Liu Yushu: “!!!”
Why was Lu Zhenguo’s reaction so calm?
Zhou Shuyan said he was the CEO of Chengzhou Group!
Both of them now knew too well about Chengzhou Group.
Initially, they thought Zhou Shuyan was just an ordinary employee of Chengzhou Group, but after they arrived in the Imperial Capital, they learned more about the Chengzhou Group.
Later, Little Pink Book even collaborated with Chengzhou, so they naturally paid even more attention to Chengzhou Group’s affairs.
They certainly knew what kind of status Chengzhou Group held in Hua Country.
Lu Zhenguo didn’t react right away and felt sothing amiss as he sat down.
After sitting down, he then recalled what Zhou Shuyan had ntioned earlier.
Just as he sat down, barely touching the seat, Lu Zhenguo suddenly stood up.
“Did you say you are who?” Lu Zhenguo asked in shock.
“Dad, I am the CEO of Chengzhou Group.” Zhou Shuyan said sincerely, “I’m sorry for hiding this from you before. I hope you give a chance to explain.”
“Did you know?” Lu Zhenguo asked Lu Youxi.
“I only found out about a month ago too, was mad at him for hiding it, but just got over it today,” Lu Youxi said, “So I imdiately ca to tell you.”
“In-laws…” Lu Zhenguo blurted out comfortably, then suddenly stopped, “No, Mrs. Zhou. I truly apologize, we didn’t know… we didn’t treat you properly before, please don’t mind.”
“Why are you suddenly calling Mrs. Zhou, so formal? Call in-law!” Xu Jingmin said anxiously.
“This… how could we possibly match…” Lu Zhenguo said with a wry smile.
“Why can’t we match?” Xu Jingmin imdiately said, “If we really talk about not matching, it would be my Shuyan who doesn’t match. Look how outstanding Youxi is? Even though she lived a tough life in Hexing Village, she still managed to get into Jing University, started a business from scratch, and now she’s even running her own company.”
“And look at my Shuyan, the admission score for Jing University in the Imperial Capital is much lower than your place. Plus, he inherited the company right after graduation, everything was given by the family, nothing was achieved by himself,” Xu Jingmin continued.
Zhou Shuyan: “…”
Lu Youxi: “…”
Xu Jingmin is really going all out!
Seriously!
“And him being so incompetent, yet ended up injured on the roadside. It was lucky that Youxi and Aunt Xu saved him,” Xu Jingmin continued, “so tell , looking at it from all aspects, isn’t Shuyan much less than Youxi?”
Liu Yushu: “…”
Lu Zhenguo: “…”
No, that’s not how you compare things.
“Mother-in-law, aren’t you still mad that we deceived you and won’t forgive us?” Xu Jingmin then asked.
Zhou Shuyan: “…”
Wow, she really knows how to guilt trip.
Indeed, when the honest Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu heard Xu Jingmin say this, they quickly waved their hands nervously, “Mrs. Zhou, please don’t say that.”
“Oh, my!” Xu Jingmin sadly grabbed Liu Yushu’s hand that was moving, “Mother-in-law, if you keep calling that, you’re scolding ! Why are you still calling Mrs. Zhou, even using ‘you’? Aren’t we in-laws? Haven’t we always got along so well beforehand? If it’s because Shuyan deceived you, feel free to bla him, but please don’t treat like this.”
Liu Yushu: “…”
Lu Youxi, feeling helpless, said, “Dad, Mom, we have no intention of divorcing, you’re still in-laws, you can’t change that.”
Lu Zhenguo: “…”
Liu Yushu: “…”
They were completely stunned by the true identity of Zhou Shuyan, having forgotten this fact.
“Youxi, you…” Liu Yushu hesitated.
So things, in front of Xu Jingmin and Zhou Shuyan, were not appropriate to say.
Lu Zhenguo composed himself, stood up, and said to Lu Youxi, “Youxi, co with for a mont.”
Lu Youxi stood up, seeing Zhou Shuyan looking sowhat anxious, she discreetly nodded at him.
Even so, Zhou Shuyan still felt uneasy, looking intently at Lu Youxi.
While still seated, he seed ready to lift himself off the sofa.
Lu Zhenguo and Lu Youxi went to their bedroom, and Liu Yushu, though not noticed, did see Zhou Shuyan’s reaction.
Once inside the bedroom, Lu Zhenguo said to Lu Youxi, “Youxi, this is really shocking. We’re a bit confused at the mont. But you said, you’re not planning to divorce Zhou Shuyan?”
“Divorce what? We’re already married, our relationship isn’t bad, he hasn’t cheated or done anything to hurt , why would we divorce?” Lu Youxi said.
Lu Zhenguo fell silent; Lu Youxi’s point was sensible.
Moreover, Lu Zhenguo had old-fashioned ideas, thinking it best not to divorce if possible.
He always felt that, as a girl, Lu Youxi, being divorced, would be at a disadvantage, and it would be difficult for her to find soone else in the future.
Not like Zhou Shuyan, a wealthy man, who, even if divorced, would still have plenty of won waiting to marry him.
Lu Youxi never cared about these things but also knew Lu Zhenguo’s thoughts, so she easily grasped his sentints.
“However… however…” Lu Zhenguo thought for a long ti and finally said, “His family is too high up, our family… our family is just too far behind.”
“Besides, originally Zhou Shuyan ended up in Hexing Village because he was injured. I don’t want to sound unpleasant, but I always feel like we’re taking advantage of him,” Lu Zhenguo said.
Lu Youxi: “…”
Lu Youxi really didn’t like hearing this.
Lu Youxi said resolutely, “I’m a fine young woman, pretty, and a top student from Jing University, how could I possibly take advantage of Zhou Shuyan?”
“Moreover, prior to this, none of us knew Zhou Shuyan’s identity. I opened an internet cafe, a restaurant, established a company, all on my own without relying on Zhou Shuyan a bit, nor using his money,” Lu Youxi said, “It will be the sa in the future. Even though we are husband and wife, my career is still my responsibility, and I won’t rely on Zhou Shuyan. The money I earn may not be more than his, but for , it’s sufficient at every stage.”
“This house is rented with my money, not Zhou Shuyan’s. Your and Mom’s salary, I am the one paying, not Zhou Shuyan,” Lu Youxi said firmly.
