Chapter 1202: Chapter 524: Returning Ho in Glory
Zhou Yuwen’s relatives aren’t all dirt poor; having a ten-thousand-dollar car in the family is quite normal. They probably heard Zhou Yuwen made a fortune and ca running from far away to make a connection, and Zhou Guobin isn’t about to chase them away.
Thus, today’s situation ca to be.
A bunch of people stood eagerly by the cars, afraid they might miss Zhou Yuwen if they didn’t pay attention. This little group had at least twenty to thirty folks. Judging by their faces, these relatives hadn’t seen each other in a long ti. Naturally, they found topics to chat about as soon as they t, mostly about how Guobin’s kid is doing so well!
I saw in the newspaper—three or four billion!
“Three or four billion is outdated; at least a hundred billion, I say!”
So many relatives showed up that Zhou Guobin hadn’t t so of them more than a few tis. However, out of courtesy, Zhou Guobin still went through the motions of hospitality. This ant closer relatives were tasked with serving tea and water.
For instance, Zhou Yuwen’s eldest aunt was coordinating with several other aunts about which restaurant they’d be dining at later. After eyeing a few relatives she hadn’t seen for a while, Auntie couldn’t help but mutter a couple of words—back when Yuwen wasn’t well-off, you wouldn’t see a soul. Now that Yuwen is successful, they’ve all erged from the woodwork like monsters in disguise.
Elder Aunt was chatting idly with Fourth Aunt, pointing at two middle-aged n in jackets leaning against the back of the car parade, saying, “Fourth sister, do you rember those two?”
“Aren’t they the kids from Second Aunt’s family?”
“Back when our family was building the house, those two insisted the land behind ours belonged to them, and now they have the nerve to show up!”
The more relatives there are, the more trouble there is.
As Liu Shuo drove off the highway, he was startled by this spectacle—a long line of sedans at the highway exit! Anyone who didn’t know would think so official was coming for inspection.
“It’s almost New Year’s; what official would co and work so hard? Hey, Bro, doesn’t Uncle work at the governnt office? Do you know who’s coming today?” Liu Shuo laughed and said.
Zhou Yuwen said, “How would I know?”
“Look, isn’t my dad in that crowd over there? Why don’t you go ask?” Zhou Yuwen pointed to his father amidst the crowd.
Liu Shuo glanced over—yep, he was indeed in the crowd.
“Really, Bro, Aunt is here too? What kind of big shot arrived? Uncle and Aunt both showed up!” Liu Shuo grinned after spotting Zhou Yuwen’s parents.
“Fool,” Zhou Yuwen said bluntly.
“They ca to pick up.”
“What!?”
Liu Shuo was stunned—clearly, he hadn’t expected this.
Yet, that’s how it was. Following Zhou Yuwen’s instructions, Liu Shuo drove the car closer.
Soon, two black rcedes G-wagens parked slowly by the side.
Zhou Yuwen’s eldest aunt recognized his car imdiately, waving her hands frantically, “He’s here! He’s here! It’s Yuwen’s car; Yuwen’s back!”
“Yuwen’s back?”
As soon as they heard this, everyone crowded around, eager to see what the family’s star looked like.
Liu Shuo hadn’t even gotten out of the car when he was surrounded by the crowd.
These unfamiliar relatives froze once they saw Liu Shuo.
What?
What in the world?
How did Yuwen turn out like this?
On TV, Yuwen isn’t like this!
That’s beauty filters!
Beauty filters? Are they really that powerful?
Ignoring the details, soone led by saying, “Hey! This must be Yuwen! He’s grown so sturdy!”
“Yes, Yuwen’s grown so tall! Yuwen, do you rember ? I’m your second cousin!”
“I’m your second cousin’s wife!”
One by one, they introduced themselves, marveling at how ti flew by and how Yuwen had grown into a fine young man.
“Move aside, move aside, let the cousins-in-law et Yuwen first!”
A young person called Zhou Yuwen’s parents this, pushing through the crowd so they could go first.
Thus, everyone moved aside to clear a path, and Zhou Guobin and Yang Lirong stepped forward to greet their son.
A bunch of relatives acted as a supporting cast—they urged Yuwen, who’d been away, to reunite with his family quickly!
As Zhou Guobin and Yang Lirong approached,
They were completely taken aback.
Liu Shuo looked at his buddy’s parents and grinned cheekily.
In this scene, unaware relatives wondered aloud if it was because they hadn’t seen him in so long that they couldn’t recognize their own son.
Zhou Guobin listened and turned green then white, finally stiffening his neck to say, “This—this isn’t my son!”
“?”
The crowd paused, not understanding.
“Dad,”
At this point, Zhou Yuwen stepped out from the passenger seat, looked at Liu Shuo, and then appeared as himself—handso and poised in a base layer shirt paired with a black jacket. Although he hadn’t dressed up intentionally, just a glance was enough to make him stand out.
Now it was a match!
“My goodness, is this Yuwen? He’s grown so much!”
“Truly Guobin’s child, isn’t he strikingly handso!”
One by one, they began to praise Zhou Yuwen.
“Yuwen, do you rember ? I held you when you were little!”
“And , and , Yuwen, do you rember !”
Unfamiliar faces appeared one after the other. Zhou Yuwen had an impression of them, but it was only a fleeting acquaintance, not familiarity.
At this point, Zhou Guobin took on the role of introducer, slowly naming them.
“This is your cousin-in-law, and this is your second uncle!”
Zhou Yuwen greeted each person individually, with each joyfully responding, seeing acknowledgnt by Zhou Yuwen as sothing to boast about.
“Make way, make way, all of you move aside! Yuwen’s been in the car all the way; he’s tired. I say, don’t you all realize Wenwen needs a break?”
Just as everyone was excitedly preparing to acquaint themselves with Zhou Yuwen one by one, at this point, Elder Aunt brushed the crowd aside, demandingly saying, with a horse face, keeping a distance from the unfamiliar relatives and pulling Zhou Yuwen along, “Wenwen, we won’t bother with them, let’s go ho first.”
“Hey, cousin, it’s been so long, let us have a good chat with Yuwen!” Soone grumbled.
Elder Aunt just snorted, “You all weren’t so eager before, but now that Wenwen made money, you’re flocking to him like flies?”
At the end of the day, aren’t you here fawning over Yuwen’s money?
“Co on, Wenwen, let’s ignore them and go ho first!” Saying this, Elder Aunt pulled Zhou Yuwen along.
A few of the relatives were disgruntled at being berated, their faces sowhat embarrassed. One couldn’t help saying, “Well, Auntie, it’s not right for you to say that. How can we be here because Yuwen made money? Besides, if we’re like this, aren’t you the sa?”
“Can I be the sa as you?! I’m Wenwen’s Aunt, I’m his dad’s sister!”
Elder Aunt was imdiately displeased upon hearing those words, but as the scene grew more chaotic, Zhou Guobin quickly intervened, saying, everyone, it’s windy here, and we’ve already greeted Yuwen. I thank you all on Yuwen’s behalf, so let’s move to a different location. I have reserved a table at Wangyue Building with Lirong. Shall we go straight to Wangyue Building?
When Zhou Guobin spoke, naturally everyone had nothing to say, coaxed by him, they dispersed one by one.
Only Elder Aunt remained angry. No matter how Zhou Guobin coaxed, she was annoyed with her brother, saying, “You’re just pampering them? They rush over when they see Yuwen made money, all for a free al and drink! Even if your family is wealthy, you can’t indulge them to freeload like this!”
After hearing this, Zhou Guobin could only speak mildly.
