Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Take, for example, this case of Yun Liuli’s composite photo being sent out. If the reason Xiao Qinghai wanted to bring him back was really so that he could compete with Xiao Yuan to select the final Xiao family’s successor, if he could really suppress Xiao Yuan, then… Xiao Yuan probably wouldn’t dare to send out the photo. He would only dare to use it to disgust him…

It was because Xiao Yuan knew that Zhou Yuchen wasn’t really much of a threat to him and wasn’t to be feared that he dared to do this.

Xiao Qinghai was fuming with rage over Xiao Yuan’s matter, and his tone didn’t sound good when he picked up Zhou Yuchen’s call.

Zhou Yuchen got straight to the point, saying, “The reason he sent out that photoshopped picture of Yun Liuli is because he knows that I like Yun Liuli and wants to disgust me! Another reason is that Xiao Yuan should have heard from Old Madam Xiao that you’re trying to use me to agitate him so that he shows progress. Therefore, Xiao Yuan feels that I’m no threat and is trying to instill fear in me.”

Xiao Qinghai’s countenance turned increasingly grim.

“Last night, Xiao Yuan went back in a drunken state. He had gone to celebrate with his bunch of rogue friends. He met me and told me that he knew about everything! Therefore, I shouldn’t be of any use anymore. From today on, I won’t be going to the Xiao family…” When Zhou Yuchen said this, his lips curled up into a cold smile.

Xiao Qinghai’s face remained tense, and he didn’t say anything.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be hanging up!”

“Hold on!” Xiao Qinghai clenched his teeth and called out.

Zhou Yuchen understood Xiao Qinghai. This person… wouldn’t give up until he had met his goals.

He was gambling on the fact that Xiao Qinghai wouldn’t give up easily. After all, Zhou Yuchen was currently the only person who could stimulate Xiao Yuan’s fighting spirit!

Moreover, other than letting Zhou Yuchen stimulate Xiao Yuan to become better, Xiao Qinghai didn’t have any other way to get Xiao Yuan to become better!

In addition, Xiao Yuan already knew that they had brought Zhou Yuchen back to the Xiao family in order to agitate him. This made him certain that his status was solid and couldn’t be overthrown. He’d increasingly act like a profligate son…

Given how Xiao Qinghai had made it appear as if Xiao Yuan was the one to be chosen, this was inevitable.

To get Xiao Yuan to become serious, Xiao Qinghai would have to get Xiao Yuan to see that he really valued Zhou Yuchen in high regard. He had to make it seem as if he was really planning to choose a successor between Xiao Yuan and Zhou Yuchen. Only with this would Xiao Yuan become serious.

“Where are you right now?”

“At my home…” Zhou Yuchen replied.

“I’ll send someone over to pick you up!”

After hanging up the call, Xiao Qinghai sat at the table, smoking.

In fact, ever since Xiao Qinghai had brought Zhou Yuchen back to the Xiao family, he hadn’t really treated Zhou Yuchen seriously.

Xiao Qinghai could be said to still be wary against Zhou Yuchen. It was due to the hellish and eerie gleam that occasionally came from Zhou Yuchen’s eyes. It made Xiao Qinghai shudder.

Being overly wary against Zhou Yuchen was a sign that he didn’t recognize Zhou Yuchen… It was shown on both his face and in his actions.

With that, given how smart Xiao Yuan was, he’d definitely be able to see through it. In addition, the old madam pampered her grandchild a lot and had divulged the truth to Xiao Yuan after seeing that he was dejected. Thereafter, Xiao Yuan immediately returned to his original state.

If he really wished to trick Xiao Yuan, he would have to view Zhou Yuchen in high regard…

At the very least, Zhou Yuchen should have everything that the young master of the Xiao family should have.

With all the details met, Xiao Yuan would have no choice but to believe it. Even if the old madam were to say something, Xiao Yuan would still hold doubt.

Xiao Qinghai quickly sent someone to pick Zhou Yuchen up. When Zhou Yuchen arrived at the Xiao residence, Xiao Yuan was still asleep and hadn’t woken up.

Xiao Qinghai briefly shared his plans. To play it safe… Xiao Qinghai got Zhou Yuchen to sign an agreement. The contents stated that in addition to the conditions Xiao Qinghai and Zhou Yuchen had agreed upon earlier, Zhou Yuchen would get a portion of the Xiao family’s assets. However, Zhou Yuchen needed to give up on the inheritance rights to the Xiao family.

Zhou Yuchen signed the agreement without even looking at it. He said that what he wanted was money and not the things that belonged to the Xiao family. From the start, he had never planned on fighting for anything with Xiao Yuan. He was unwilling to admit that he was a member of the Xiao family as well. He was just short of money.

When Xiao Yuan woke up, Xiao Qinghai and Zhou Yuchen were at the dining room table, seeming as if they were chatting happily.

Xiao Qinghai didn’t mention the matter about Yun Liuli’s photo. When he saw Xiao Yuan yawning and heading into the dining room, he said in a cold and solemn voice, “Stop right there!”

Xiao Yuan stood at the entrance, feeling fear for his father from the bottom of his heart. He obliged and didn’t move.

“You were the one who caused the injuries on Yuchen’s body?” Xiao Qinghai’s face was tense.

Xiao Yuan threw a glance at Zhou Yuchen, who was seated to the right of Xiao Qinghai, then admitted it. “That’s right…”

“I told you to learn to be respectful to your sibling. Did you throw all those things away?” Xiao Qinghai’s tone sounded harsh. “Do you really think that I won’t be able to take you in hand?”

Xiao Yuan didn’t say anything. Although he didn’t put up any resistance, he seemed very impatient.

“Zhou Yuchen’s name will be entered into our genealogy book this Sunday. I’ll put your matter aside for now. After this matter is over, we’ll come back to deal with you!” After saying that, Xiao Qinghai didn’t give Xiao Yuan another look. He continued to speak to Zhou Yuchen. “After you go to the company, if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can go and ask your third uncle. He has great experience and has agreed to teach you well. When you get used to the work… Dad will be able to step down!”

When Xiao Yuan heard this, he frowned and looked in the direction of his father and Zhou Yuchen.

Zhou Yuchen didn’t say anything, merely smiling and nodding.

The butler came in and saw Xiao Yuan standing at the door. He greeted him and then said to Xiao Qinghai, “Sir, the car is ready!”

“Dad overlooked things previously. This time around, I’ve specially arranged for a chauffeur and a bodyguard for you. They are all people that Dad can trust. One of them is Uncle Mao, who has worked as Dad’s driver for many years. The other one is Uncle Mao’s son. He’ll help you take care of whoever dares to raise a hand against you in the future, including Xiao Yuan!”

Xiao Yuan found this unbelievable. To think that Xiao Qinghai had assigned Uncle Mao and Uncle Mao’s eldest son to Zhou Yuchen! Wasn’t he valuing Zhou Yuchen too much?

This wasn’t all. He was even planning on entering Zhou Yuchen’s name into the genealogy book. If Xiao Qinghai were to do that, wouldn’t that mean that he wouldn’t be the only son Xiao Qingquan had? There’d be another son, Zhou Yuchen. Zhou Yuchen would then really gain the right to inherit the Xiao family.

Xiao Yuan started to doubt Old Madam Xiao’s words. Was the reason Xiao Qinghai brought Zhou Yuchen back really so that he could agitate him?

Or… had Xiao Qinghai considered that Old Madam Xiao would be an obstacle in bringing Zhou Yuchen back and thus come up with this lie so that he could add Zhou Yuchen to the genealogy book without any problems?

After all, half of his blood came from Xiao Qinghai. The same went for Zhou Yuchen!

Xiao Yuan was suddenly thrown into a state of disorder.

After Old Madam Xiao came back from her exercise, she heard that Xiao Qinghai had assigned the driver Old Mao and Old Mao’s eldest son to Zhou Yuchen. She carefully asked Xiao Qinghai if he was going overboard.

Xiao Qinghai threw a glance at Xiao Yuan and said, “If it’s not Old Mao and Old Mao’s eldest son, there’s no one else who’ll be able to keep Xiao Yuan in line. If Xiao Yuan were to raise his hand against Yuchen in the future, Yuchen would still be the one losing out!”

Xiao Yuan had been in the wrong to beat Zhou Yuchen up, so Old Madam Xiao didn’t say much. She just frowned and nodded.
