reborn heir

Zhou Ren leaned on the sofa in the living room, waiting for his son's return with complicated emotions.He could see Bai Kun's affection for his son, and the things that appeared naturally in those eyes couldn't be hidden from anyone.

After an unknown amount of time, the door lock turned with a click. Zhou Zeyan opened the door and came in. His eyes were slightly red and his face was a little ugly. When he went out, the clothes he was holding in his hands had disappeared.

Zhou Ren asked, "Has he gone home?"

Zhou Zeyan let out a "hmm", walked over with his head down, leaned on the sofa and lay down a little tiredly, with his head resting on Zhou Ren's lap, curled up together, looking painfully entangled.Zhou Ren touched his temples, and the tentacles were cold, presumably they were frozen outdoors just now.

Zhou Zeyan turned his body sideways, facing in, and whispered, "Dad, I'm so sad."

Zhou Ren caressed his hair and asked, "Because of Bai Kun?"

Zhou Zeyan said sullenly: "For a moment, I felt that if it wasn't for you, maybe I would like him."

Zhou Ren's hand suddenly stopped, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Do you regret being with me?"

"Of course not, I just said that if it happens, it's impossible to turn back." Zhou Zeyan grabbed his hand and rubbed it against his face, and said seriously with his face up, "Dad, don't look back either."

Zhou Ren said shyly, "Do you think I can turn back?"

Zhou Zeyan looked at his face firmly, thinking to himself, even if you know that I am not Zhou Zexu and want to turn around, it will be too late.

In the next few days, Zhou Zeyan didn't dare to go to Bai's factory again, but Bai Kun's assistant called him to ask what's the matter. He vaguely said that something happened at home, but the assistant seemed to believe it and said that he would ask for leave for him.Bai Kun was completely silent, no phone calls or text messages. In the past, the two of them used to scan dozens of WeChat messages every day, but now they are also silent.

There are still more than ten days until the Spring Festival. There are a lot of big and small things in the New Year's Eve. In addition, the new city hall project will break ground after the next year. Zhou Ren is very busy there, and he didn't ask his son to go to the company to help.

Zhou Zeyan was nestled at home, so bored that he wanted to grow grass. Remembering that he hadn't seen Chen Peiyuan for a while, he drove slowly out of the house.

The waiter in LincolnBar teased him as soon as he saw him: "Didn't Zhou Shao go to be Mr. Bai's assistant? Why do you still have time to play?"

Zhou Zeyan reprimanded with a stern face: "Fuck you, don't wipe your table properly! Where's Accountant Chen? Are you not here today?"

The waiter pointed upstairs, and Zhou Zeyan went upstairs to find Chen Peiyuan.

Chen Peiyuan was also on winter vacation. Apart from helping with the bills of the bar, the rest of the time he held his computer in his office on the second floor to do private accounting work that he took on. When he saw Zhou Zeyan coming in, he was surprised and asked, "Why are you free? Bai Kun Isn't it very busy over there?"

Zhou Zeyan put his trouser pockets in his pocket and said, "We haven't seen each other for a while, I specially asked for leave to see you, are you touched?"

Chen Peiyuan looked at him suspiciously: "Isn't it, you and Bai Kun are having trouble?"

Zhou Zeyan said in surprise, "How did you see that?"

Chen Peiyuan closed the notebook and said, "I didn't see it, I just guessed randomly, what's going on?"

Zhou Zeyan didn't want to talk about this, so he waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay, are you busy? If you're not busy, accompany me to buy New Year's clothes."

Chen Peiyuan said contemptuously: "How old are you? What else do you buy for Chinese New Year clothes?"

Zhou Zeyan said: "Next year is the year of my life! Not only do I have to buy it, but I also have to buy it carefully. What to wear on the first day of the new year will make your hair grow big. Let's go. If you see something that suits you, I will give it to you. My dad just gave it to me." My pocket money is more than enough."

Chen Peiyuan was dragged by him to the mall, Zhou Zeyan went into several counters one after another, tried on seven or eight sets of clothes, but none of them fit.

Chen Peiyuan didn't like shopping in the first place, and the things in this mall were extremely expensive, so he felt dizzy and dizzy just looking for a place to rest for a while.However, Zhou Zeyan was still in high spirits, looking elated.

When passing by a business men's clothing store, Zhou Zeyan compared several ties in the mirror, and asked Chen Peiyuan which one looked better. Chen Peiyuan rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "You don't plan to wear a business suit on New Year's Day, do you?"

Zhou Zeyan looked in the mirror and carefully gestured at his neckline, and said, "Of course not, I bought it for my dad, he hasn't bought a new tie for a long time.

The shopping guide lady enthusiastically said: "If it is suitable for middle-aged people, please take a look at the container here."

Zhou Zeyan glared at her and said: "Who said my dad is middle-aged! He is very young, okay! Younger than me!"

Miss shopping guide: "..."

She said kindly: "Then take a look at this red and sapphire blue one, both are suitable for very young business people."

Only then was Zhou Zeyan satisfied, and compared the two left and right sides.

Chen Peiyuan on the side complained: "You Electra crazy guy, you should show some face."

Zhou Zeyan glanced at him, and said frivolously, "For the sake of the accuracy of these four words, I don't have the same knowledge as you."

Chen Peiyuan's eyelids rolled so much that he almost had cramps.

In the end Zhou Zeyan chose one to pay the bill, Chen Peiyuan flipped through the tag, and finally couldn't help Qiu Fu said: "You rich second generation who keep showing off dad is really annoying!"

When the two came out of this counter, Chen Peiyuan bumped Zhou Zeyan's arm and said, "Do you think that person looks like Deputy Mayor Yu?"

Zhou Zeyan looked up when he heard the words, and it turned out to be Yu Shiqian and his wife. Mrs. Yu tried on a purple camel hair coat, and asked Yu Shiqian's opinion while looking in the mirror.

Yu Shiqian dressed very casually, helped Mrs. Yu with the handbag, and made some serious comments, probably to please Mrs. Yu, and she smiled very brightly.

Chen Peiyuan said: "It seems that the relationship between husband and wife is good."

Zhou Zeyan glanced at him: "Didn't you say that people definitely like men?"

Chen Peiyuan said innocently: "I've met many GAYs who are about his age, and they are all married and have children."

Zhou Zeyan frowned and said, "But I don't think he is pretending to his wife." He used to go to Yu's house when he was talking about marriage with Yu Wanxin, and he felt that although Mrs. Yu had a bad temper, Yu Shiqian was everywhere. Letting her go, the husband and wife get along very harmoniously.

Chen Peiyuan shrugged and said, "Maybe the deputy mayor is very responsible and willing to bend himself for the sake of the family."

Zhou Zeyan took another look at the couple, and felt that Yu Shiqian might really be the one who would subdue himself for the sake of his family.

Chen Peiyuan said: "Are you still buying clothes? I think it's better to go back and buy the blue one just now, it's pretty good."

Zhou Zeyan was attracted back to his attention, and asked doubtfully, "Really? Isn't the style of that piece too childish?"

The two left while talking, neither of them saw Yu Shiqian cast his gaze towards them.

When Zhou Zeyan finally bought the right clothes, it was almost dark, and he asked Chen Peiyuan to have dinner with him, but Chen Peiyuan said no, he had already made an appointment with someone else, and he just asked Zhou Zeyan to take him to an intersection near the shopping mall and drop him off.

At that intersection, there was a man on the side of the road waiting for him on a battery scooter.

Zhou Zeyan stopped the car and greeted the man casually: "Squad Leader Liu!"

Squad leader Liu showed embarrassment, Chen Peiyuan unbuckled his seat belt and whispered, "Zhou Zexu, stop teasing him."

Zhou Zeyan shook his head and said, "Tsk tsk tsk."

Chen Peiyuan got out of the car and slammed the door to drive him away: "Hurry up, you won't be allowed to park here!"

Zhou Zeyan waved to Squad Leader Liu, closed the window and drove away.Chen Peiyuan is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, his eyelids and mouth are lively, because there are many troubles in the family, so his temper is a bit weird, but this squad leader Liu is a down-to-earth and good-natured person, and it can be seen that he really likes Chen Peiyuan.

The two of them are actually quite suitable together, and what kind of pot should be matched with the lid.

While talking, the Spring Festival is just around the corner. At noon on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Zhou Ren finally settled all the big and small things in the company and went home for the holiday.

In the afternoon of that day, two old friends who used to be together invited him to visit Baiyingtang together. It is not good to see patients during the Spring Festival. Logically, this should be done earlier, so Zhou Ren went with him.Bai Yingtang is recovering well, he can already see people clearly, his mind is clear, but he can't speak yet.

When he returned home in the evening, Zhou Zeyan asked about Bai Yingtang's health with concern, and said with emotion: "Uncle Bai is actually only a few years older than you."

Zhou Ren's heart moved, and his son finally thought of the age gap between father and son. He was already in his prime, and Bai Yingtang's current situation could happen to him at any time, but his son was still in his prime.

Zhou Zeyan said solemnly: "Father! You should take it as a warning, maybe this is the retribution of Uncle Bai looking for Xiaosan!"

Zhou Ren: "..." Sure enough, he still thinks his son is too normal.

After dinner, the father and son agreed to go out to buy Spring Festival couplets together tomorrow, and to buy two more festive little clothes for Zhou Dudu to wear during the Spring Festival.

Zhou Zeyan said again: "By the way, Lu Diqi doesn't know what the hell he wants to do. He has bought so many stocks now, but there is no movement. I think he is full of bad things and weird. I'm afraid Bai Kun really can't deal with him. "

Zhou Rendao: "It's a good thing that there is no movement."

Zhou Zeyan said depressedly: "I don't know what kind of evil Lu Diqi has fallen into. He suddenly wants to play business games like others. I didn't realize before that he still has such a brain."

Zhou Rendao: "It's about the rest of my life after the catastrophe, and I want to do something more valuable."

Zhou Zeyan asked strangely: "The rest of my life? How should I say it?"

Zhou Ren explained: "When your aunt returned to China to hold an art exhibition, he almost died of a drug overdose. After being rescued, he forced himself to quit drugs, and then told your aunt and uncle that he would return to China to study." Phone, frowning slightly.

When Zhou Piaoping told him these things on the phone, she almost burst into tears, and couldn't stop saying, "The Lu family must have accumulated virtues from their ancestors to make the prodigal son return without changing money."He especially dislikes the phrase "the prodigal son turns back" that his sister said. A few months ago, Zhou Zeyan, the eldest son, was a "prodigal son who never turns back until death" in Zhou Piaoping's mouth.

Zhou Zeyan was speechless: "This kind of counterattack rhythm! Doesn't it mean that detoxification is difficult?"

Zhou Rendao: "It's because it's difficult. Anyone who can quit must be a strong-willed person. After he returned to China, it only took him a few months to establish a complete art trade chain, as well as the acquisition of Baijia stock. I couldn't help applauding Chen Cang with that hand. Your cousin is not a simple person."

Zhou Zeyan inexplicably said bitterly: "You have never praised me so much."

Zhou Ren looked at his son, sighed and said, "If there hadn't been that car accident back then, and you could have studied and grown up without a seven-year hiatus, with your talent and hard work when you were young, you wouldn't be worse than him."

Zhou Zeyan covered his head with a pillow, and groaned, "Ah! I didn't hear anything!"

Zhou Ren thought for a while and said, "It's actually not bad now, at least better than your brother."

This time he was really upset, Zhou Zeyan hugged the pillow and stopped talking.

In the evening, for the first time ever, he went to bed after taking a shower, and did not run to Zhou Ren's room to tease his father.

Lying on the bed but tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, I always feel like there is something important.After tossing for a while, he simply sat up, crossed his legs and rested his chin, thinking distressedly what he had forgotten.

A few of his professional books were thrown in a mess on the bedside table, and a pen fell from the ground. He lay down on the bed and picked up the pen and threw it back on the table. Clip the pen inside.

On the title page of the book are written the words "Zhou Zexu" in big letters.

Zhou Zeyan suddenly woke up, thinking about what the big event that flashed through his mind just now was.
