I spoil the domineering president

However, some people do not want to make it easier for them.

"Mr. Xu?"

Xu Zhuo turned his head and saw the butler standing behind him at some point. He nodded his head blankly, and his tone of voice was his usual pretentiousness: "Second Young Master is guarding the spirit. If Mr. Xu doesn't mind, I'll show you around?"

Before Xu Zhuo could react, Du Ziyou frowned first, and said in a deep voice, "He's staying here. I haven't moved out yet, so you can't wait to see me as your master?"

His tone was blunt and his words were harsh.

The housekeeper pursed his lips, but did not refute for a while.Recently, the second young master seems to have been opened up to the two veins of Ren and Du. He is no longer a stern and introverted showman, and he is not as easy to talk as before.

He paused before saying: "I'm also thinking about Er Shao... Eldest Young Master can't handle it all by himself, and Er Shao also wants to share his brother's worries, so it's better to focus on it."

The wake guard asked Du Ziyou not to leave the mourning hall and to receive the guests who came in to express their condolences.And Du Yongfeng greeted them outside.The Du family was sparsely populated, and the two brothers had to divide their labor in this way.

Du Ziyou sneered, and opened his mouth to be angry, but Xu Zhuo cut him off: "The housekeeper also has good intentions," he looked at the housekeeper, "Then I will trouble you."

Hearing that Du Ziyou glared at him unhappy, the word "traitor" was written in his eyes.Xu Zhuo leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Don't be angry, I'll be back soon, just wait obediently."

The housekeeper got this unexpected joy, fearing that something might change, he didn't stay for a moment, and took Xu Zhuo out.

Xu Zhuo saw that he really took himself around on the first floor, pretending to introduce a few guests to him, talking about the artworks on the walls and in every corner, and faithfully fulfilling the duty of showing distinguished guests.

But Xu Zhuo was very self-aware, he was definitely not a distinguished guest in their eyes, so he spoke up.

"Housekeeper?" Xu Zhuo called him, with a half-smile, "Stop beating around the bush, just be direct."

The butler put away his polite smile, took a deep look at him, and turned around to lead him upstairs.

Walking to a door, Xu Zhuo recognized that it was the big study of the Patriarch of the Du family. He had been there last time, and now this study belongs to Du Yongfeng.

The butler opened the door to let Xu Zhuo in, then bowed slightly, closed the door and left.

Sitting behind the desk in the study was of course Du Yongfeng in a black suit, with a white scarf wrapped around his arm, in solemn funeral attire.

To Xu Zhuo's surprise, he was visibly aged by the naked eye. It was not the obvious change in appearance such as the graying of his hair, but the fact that the whole portrait had been drained of energy and energy, and his eagle-like sharp eyes became round and blunt. His aura has restrained a lot, and there is even a sense of exhaustion from his bones.

Xu Zhuo had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and countless questions popped up in his mind.

Shouldn't he be receiving guests on the first floor?He even disregarded etiquette in order to talk to me, leaving many guests behind and hiding in the study.

Why is he so haggard?Could it be that Ziyou took too many things from him, causing his career to be severely damaged and exhausted?

But he has a deeper foundation than his younger brother and has rich experience. He has been in the business world for many years, and it is absolutely impossible for him to lose so ugly.

Full of doubts, Xu Zhuo greeted politely: "Boss Du."

Du Yongfeng pressed between his eyebrows and said, "Sit down."

Xu Zhuo was quite surprised. In his impression, he and himself were like fire and water. This was the first time that the other party communicated with him on an equal footing.

He sat down politely and asked, "Why is Boss Du looking for me?"

After a pause, he immediately added: "If you are talking about me and Ziyou again, please don't open your mouth. We have gone through many tests and will never be separated by the outside world."

Other than that, he really couldn't think of a reason why the other party came to him. They had almost no business contacts, and there were not many overlaps in their contacts, let alone their relatives and friends.

Thinking of the old-fashioned "break up, or I will make it difficult for you" plot again, Xu Zhuo wanted to stand up and leave.

Du Yongfeng seemed to be choked by his words, pondered for a moment and said: "It is indeed about you."

OK, I'm leaving.

Xu Zhuo put away one leg and was about to stand up, but Du Yongfeng said first, "I just want to ask, what is your plan?"

"Huh?" Xu Zhuo stopped and looked at him suspiciously, "What plan?"

Du Yongfeng tightened the corners of his mouth, and stretched out his hand to bring the family photo on the desk in front of him. The photo showed three people, father and son. Du Ziyou was only seven or eight years old, smiling at the camera.

"Ziyou has been in the Du family since he was born," Du Yongfeng said softly, staring at the photo, "It was both his luck and his misfortune to be born into a wealthy family. In those few years, my father was very suspicious. The babies born are not doing well.”

That's "not so good"?Xu Zhuo restrained himself from letting out a loud laugh.

However, Du Yongfeng guessed his mind: "I know what you want to say...but he may indeed become a good father, at least for me."

Xu Zhuo relaxed his whole body, buried himself in the sofa, propped up one side of his head and listened to him.

"Father has worked hard. In order to prove that Ziyou is not only his own son in blood, but also his own son in words and deeds, he tried his best to mold Ziyou into a qualified Du family," Du Yongfeng said, "It's just his ideal. There was a conflict with Ziyou's personality, and the mother's condition was not very good at that time—"

Having said that, he stopped, raised his eyes and cast a questioning look at Xu Zhuo.

Xu Zhuo miraculously received his meaning, nodded and said, "I heard that Mrs. Du has mental problems."

"It seems that Ziyou trusts you very much," Du Yongfeng twitched the corner of his mouth, showing a wry smile, "The matter of his mother is his back, and he has always avoided talking about it on any occasion."

Seeing that he was not as calm as before, Xu Zhuo tentatively asked, "May I ask, besides the so-called discipline of Mr. Du, what other crimes did Ziyou suffer at that time?"

Du Yongfeng raised his eyebrows: "Didn't he tell you?"

Xu Zhuo said, "I can't bear to ask."

"You are considerate," Du Yongfeng said. "It's the kind of bullying by peers, the illegitimate child of a mad woman. Of course, those adults will also gossip, but they don't say it in person. But Ziyou Such a sensitive person, can't he distinguish other people's emotions and eyes?"

Xu Zhuo tightened his grip on the armrest. It has been more than ten years since this incident, no matter how angry he was, he could not change the past, but he still couldn't help but feel distressed, wishing to travel back to that time immediately, and embrace the helpless boy You in his arms , Tell him that he will protect him and never leave.

"In those few years, I have been studying abroad," Du Yongfeng continued, "I only saw Ziyou occasionally when I went home, and I heard some things about him from the servants. You know, I have been my father's only son for many years. He Raised me to be another him, so when it comes to my teenage brother, I almost reflexively treat him the way I treat my son."

"I became his other father, or another nightmare - which I figured out later."

Having said that, he sighed dejectedly, and turned the family portrait upside down on the table.

Xu Zhuo found this scene familiar.

Du Ziyou disposed of the photos in the bedroom like this a few days ago.

"That's why he hates you," Xu Zhuo said mercilessly, "OK, the case is finally solved."

His sarcasm made Du Yongfeng flinch slightly.

Du Yongfeng's tone was slightly blunt: "Maybe our father and son are born to be in harmony with Ziyou——Xu Zhuo, this is me, my personality and character are shaped by my father on the basis of innateness," he said with serious eyes, every word Emphasized suddenly, "Everything cannot be changed."

He is justifying himself.Because of his indifference and ignorance of his own brother, and his terrible desire to control later, he is both a brother and a father. Someone taught him to be a strict father, but no one taught him to be a loving brother.

Xu Zhuo looked at him and said coldly, "Don't you think it's too late to say this now?"

Du Yongfeng smiled, but the smile was not pretty.

"That's why I called you here. I want to know your current plans." He said, "Except for the old house and the Du family consortium, my father left all the real estate at home and abroad to Ziyou, plus some shares and other assets. It’s almost [-]% gone.”

Xu Zhuo heard Ziyou talk about the will, but he didn't know the details.They didn't expect to be able to compete with Du Yongfeng, they only hoped to resist his threat, but they didn't expect the result to be so much better than expected.

But... Du Yongfeng will easily let them get what they want?

Xu Zhuo tensed up, ready to meet the opponent's attack.

But Du Yongfeng chuckled, showing a rare softness: "Don't worry, the will has come into force, I won't do anything."

"Then you..." Xu Zhuo asked.

"Ziyou will officially move out of the old house after getting these things, and draw a clear line with me inside and out." Du Yongfeng pushed the upside-down family photo in the direction of Xu Zhuo, "I guess, in the foreseeable future In the future, you will not be separated?"

Xu Zhuo nodded firmly.

"Well, I only have one request," Du Yongfeng said, "I can't accept your relationship—don't argue, you can't force a person to change his mind—and as the head of the Du family, I can't accept Du The family's reputation is affected by this kind of scandal. So please keep an absolute low profile and don't let any outsiders know about you."

Xu Zhuo frowned: "Forgive me, Ziyou and I didn't deliberately conceal it, and we don't want to deliberately conceal it. We are not thieves, and we are not doing something shady!"

Du Yongfeng spread his hands: "Look, this is the difference in our ideas."

Xu Zhuo did not back down: "If we want to make it public, that is our right, and no one has the right to dictate."

Du Yongfeng stared at him silently, and said after a while: "Did you say that to your parents too?"

Xu Zhuo glared at him.

"You can ignore my feelings, but you are not going to take care of your parents' thoughts?"

Hit the nail on the head.

Xu Youcai is not so conflicted now, but if his son wants to introduce Du Ziyou to his relatives and friends as his other half, he will definitely have a heart attack from anger, and he can be sent directly to the coffin.

"You see, my requirements are not high," Du Yongfeng said, as if flicking the tail of a fox, "I have also fully considered your family situation, and I hope you will not disappoint me and Boss Xu."

Xu Zhuo's heart was full of anger. Making a choice on his own initiative was completely different from being forced to do something.He suspected that Du Yongfeng called him over specially to make him feel aggrieved.

"Tell this to Ziyou too," Du Yongfeng clicked on the back of the family portrait, "As long as he wears that name, he will always be the Du family, reminding him a little bit of the Du family's self-consciousness."

Xu Zhuogang changed his mind a little bit, but was aroused by his words again.What is "the consciousness of the Du family"?This ridiculous mountain has suppressed Ziyou for more than [-] years, will it continue to be suppressed in the future?

"That's not necessarily true." Xu Zhuo said in a long voice, and stood up from the sofa.

"What?" Du Yongfeng was puzzled.

Xu Zhuo straightened his clothes, pulled one corner of his mouth and said, "You said that Ziyou should have the consciousness of the Du family..."

He walked to the door and opened it, turned his head to the people inside and said, "In the future, Ziyou entered the door of my old Xu's house—but it has nothing to do with your Du family."

The moment the door was slammed shut, Xu Zhuo was content to see Du Yongfeng's face suddenly turn pale.He whistled happily and walked away.
