Chapter 113 Old Master Gu Returns from Seclusion, Dominating the Face of the Zhou Family Father and

Zhou Yaoguang stormed into the Zhou family home and headed straight for the West Flower Hall.

"dad!"

Zheng Zhi, Zhou Tiexiong's most loyal bodyguard, came out of the West Flower Hall and stretched out his arm to stop Zhou Yaoguang: "Second Young Master, the master is not inside."

"If you're here, he's here!" Zhou Yaoguang angrily pushed Zheng Zhi aside and stormed into Xihua Hall, which was still empty.

"Uncle Zheng, where's my dad?!"

Seeing that Zhou Yaoguang was somewhat agitated, Zheng Zhi reminded him, "Second Young Master, you are too emotional right now to see the teacher."

"I suggest you go back first, and come back later to talk to your husband calmly."

"I don't need your reminder." How could he remain calm after all the outrageous things Zhou Tiexiong had done?

"He didn't let your wife be his mistress, so of course you can advise me to calm down." He only felt the pain when the flint landed on his instep.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zhi's expression turned grim.

Hearing a slight noise from the second floor, Zhou Yaoguang pointed upstairs and asked Zheng Zhi, "Is my dad upstairs?"

Zheng Zhigang was about to deny it when Zhou Yaoguang rushed up to the second floor.

Zhou Tiexiong is swinging a golf club in the golf simulator room on the second floor.

As the golf ball flew out, the simulated scene on the screen immediately changed.

Zhou Tiexiong stared intently at the screen, watching the ball trace a perfect arc in the air before landing and rolling continuously on the grass.

nice shot.

Zhou Yaoguang's entrance was quite a commotion, but Zhou Tiexiong did not turn around.

"dad!"

Zhou Yaoguang angrily walked around to Zhou Tiexiong's front.

Reaching out and pressing down on Zhou Tiexiong's hand holding the golf club, he suppressed his rage and asked, "What does Xie Zheng want with you?"

Zhou Tiexiong pulled his hand away, handed the golf club to the bodyguard next to him, and took two glasses of champagne from the tray in the servant's hand.

He handed Zhou Yaoguang a glass, "Want some?"

Zhou Yaoguang did not answer.

Zhou Tiexiong then put the glass of champagne back on the tray.

He took a sip of his drink before answering Zhou Yaoguang: "Her reason for coming to see me is obvious."

“My poor son, Xie Zheng is willing to come to me as a guarantor in order to get rid of your control. She said she is willing to donate one of her kidneys to save your mother, only asking that I can keep an eye on you and stop bothering her.”

"Tell me, what do you need such a cold-hearted woman for?"

"There are so many beauties in the world, why is she the only one missing?"

"Since you don't need her, why are you even thinking about her?" Zhou Yaoguang roared angrily at Zhou Yaoguang, "Dad! You can play around as you please, but how could you possibly take a liking to Xie Zheng!"

"She's my fiancée!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tiexiong raised his eyebrows and asked Zhou Yaoguang, "Did Xie Zheng tell you?"

Based on his understanding of Xie Zheng, he thought that the girl would keep today's conversation a secret to avoid trouble.

Unexpectedly, Xie Zheng would tell Zhou Yaoguang.

This is somewhat unexpected.

Zhou Tiexiong avoided answering Zhou Yaoguang's questions.

He even earnestly educated Zhou Yaoguang: "Son, that woman wants to drive a wedge between us, to watch us fall in love and fight each other."

Zhou Yaoguang angrily interrupted Zhou Tiexiong: "Stop rambling! Just tell me, do you want her or not!"

Zhou Tiexiong stared silently at Zhou Yaoguang.

After a long pause, he sneered, "If Emperor Xuanzong of Tang could take away Prince Shou's wife, why can't I touch Xie Zheng? Besides..."

Zhou Tiexiong pointed out sharply and sarcastically: "You cheated on her first, and she has already decided to break up with you, so the two of you have nothing to do with each other anymore."

Whether I touch her or not is none of your business.

"Shameless!" Zhou Yaoguang could no longer hold back and swung his right hand to strike Zhou Tiexiong.

But Zhou Tiexiong was still as sharp as ever. He not only easily dodged Zhou Yaoguang's attack, but also immediately grabbed the golf club from his bodyguard and swiftly and mercilessly struck Zhou Yaoguang's leg.

boom!

He hit Zhou Yaoguang with his cue stick, forcing him to kneel on one knee.

"Hmph!" Zhou Yaoguang knelt on the ground.

Clutching his nearly shattered knee, Zhou Yaoguang looked up incredulously and accused Zhou Tiexiong: "Dad, Mom's condition is critical in the hospital, and you want to kill me?"

"As expected of the infamous Master Zhou from the underworld!"

Zhou Tiexiong's face twitched with anger.

He did indeed harbor murderous intent towards Zhou Yaoguang.

But at the crucial moment, Zhou Tiexiong thought of Zhou Yaoguang's mother, Zhang Tingyu.

She was a true woman who loved him wholeheartedly, who had shielded him from a knife, and who stayed by his side even when he was seriously injured and on the run.

Zhou Tiexiong loved Zhang Tingyu.

In Zhou Tiexiong's eyes, only his mother and Zhang Tingyu were good women in the world. All other women were mere playthings.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Tiexiong suppressed his rage, which made him want to kill Zhou Yaoguang.

He picked up the champagne from the tray and poured it over Zhou Yaoguang's head.

Zhou Yaoguang was pinned down by the bodyguard's shoulder and couldn't resist.

After staring at his disheveled and frail son for a moment, Zhou Tiexiong instructed the bodyguard outside the door: "Zheng Zhi, Madam is seriously ill. The second young master has decided to devote himself to copying the Tao Te Ching to pray for Madam's well-being and will not leave the house for the next month."

"All company matters will be handled by the eldest son."

The eldest son refers to Zhou Tonghui, Zhou Yaoguang's half-brother. He is the son of Zhou Tiexiong and his first wife, with whom he had an arranged marriage. His maternal grandmother's family has a distinguished background.

Therefore, even though his first wife died, Zhou Tiexiong married Zhang Tingyu and had Zhou Yaoguang, Zhou Tonghui was still able to secure his position as the heir of the Zhou family.

Zhou Yaoguang was incredulous. "Dad, are you going to imprison me? And strip me of all my power in the company, giving it all to the boss?"

Zhou Tiexiong lightly patted Zhou Yaoguang's face with an empty wine glass and said, "I can give you wealth and power, and I can also make you lose everything."

"son."

"Your mistake is that you're not fully grown yet, but you want to challenge an eagle that hasn't aged."

“In this respect, you are not as good as your older brother.”

"At least the eldest brother knows how to keep a low profile and how to be patient."

After saying that, Zhou Tiexiong waved his hand coldly at Zheng Zhi, "Take him away!"

Zheng Zhi then took Zhou Yaoguang to a small villa inside the Zhou family mansion and locked him up, also assigning several reliable bodyguards to guard him.

Zhou Yaoguang only realized the predicament when his freedom was restricted.

If his personal freedom is restricted, then Xie Zheng will be free.

Is Father protecting Xie Zheng?

"Uncle Zheng," Zhou Yaoguang suddenly asked Zheng Zhi, "Did Xie Zheng agree to my father's conditions?"

In order to escape his control, Xie Zheng actually agreed to become her father's mistress?

Zheng Zhi also felt a headache coming on; he never expected that the gentleman would take a liking to Xie Zheng.

To be honest, when they heard the conditions that the gentleman had proposed to Xie Zheng at the West Flower Hall, all the bodyguards were taken aback.

Hey.

Beauty is a disaster.

“No,” Zheng Zhi said. “Miss Xie declined the gentleman’s offer.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yaoguang breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, as if remembering something, Zhou Yaoguang's expression turned pained again. "So... has she decided to donate a kidney to my mother?"

Zheng Zhi shook his head again, "Miss Xie also refused."

"Hmm?" Zhou Yaoguang was clearly a little surprised.

Xie Zheng neither agreed to her father's perverse proposal nor was willing to donate a kidney in exchange for freedom. So, she has come to terms with it and is willing to live a down-to-earth life with him.

Zhou Yaoguang immediately calmed down.

This time, his infidelity was his fault.

After his confinement ended, he took the knife and went to apologize to Xie Zheng.

As long as Xie Zheng is willing to forgive him, he wouldn't mind stabbing him in the stomach with a knife.

After marrying Xie Zheng, he will definitely turn over a new leaf and become a good person, and never touch other women again.

He admitted that having fun with other women was exciting, but he couldn't accept the fact that Xie Zheng would leave him.

*

After locking Zhou Yaoguang in the villa, Zheng Zhi returned to the main building.

"Sir, the second young master has been sent to the small building and locked up."

Thinking that Xie Zheng had rejected Zhou Tiexiong twice today, Zheng Zhi said with some worry, "My wife's condition has become so serious that she needs a kidney transplant to survive."

"Since Miss Xie refuses to donate a kidney, should we notify Zhou Xingquan?"

"His family has been able to live a comfortable life thanks to you and the old man all these years. Now it's time for them to repay their kindness, so there shouldn't be any changes."

"Of course he wouldn't dare refuse." Zhou Tiexiong's tone was very contemptuous when he mentioned his cousin named Zhou Xingquan.

The Zhou family's poor relatives all depended on his charity to live a good life.

A bunch of parasites; they're useless without him.

Now that it's their time to repay the debt of gratitude, who dares to say they're unwilling?

only...

“Zhou Xingquan’s kidney is not the best.” It is known that Xie Zheng’s kidney is the best match for her lover’s kidney. For all reasons, Zhou Tiexiong hopes that Xie Zheng can donate a kidney to Zhang Tingyu.

"Is it Miss Xie's kidney that you prefer, sir? But didn't she refuse?"

Zhou Tiexiong sneered.

"Doesn't she have a younger sister? Find an opportunity to get rid of her sister, and then she will naturally submit obediently."

Zhou Tiexiong had worked in the underworld with the old man.

Even though the old man later retired from the business and became a true industrialist, Zhou Tiexiong still retained his ruthless methods.

He had many ways of 'persuading' Xie Zheng to comply.

Just then, Zhou Tiexiong's phone rang.

Zheng Zhi strode over, picked up the phone, and upon seeing the caller's name, immediately became respectful: "Sir, it's a call from Old Master Gu!"

Zhou Tiexiong was startled for a moment before saying to Zheng Zhi, "Give me your phone."

Zheng Zhi handed over the phone.

Zhou Tiexiong took the phone, answered it, and smiled as he held it to his ear, saying in a flattering tone, "I heard magpies chirping when I woke up this morning, and I thought something good was going to happen today!"

"And that's when Uncle Gu called, which we've been waiting for."

"hehe."

Gu Wentao laughed at Zhou Tiexiong: "Bear Boy's words are getting more and more pleasing to the ear these days. What, shouldn't the old man have made this call?"

When his father was alive, he took Zhou Tiexiong to visit the Gu family a few times. Each time, in front of Gu Wentao, he humbly referred to Zhou Tiexiong as "my unworthy son, a good-for-nothing, and a good-for-nothing."

Gu Wentao chuckled and called him "Bear Boy".

So every time Zhou Tiexiong saw Gu Wentao, he would call himself "Bear Boy".

Gu Wentao's voice suddenly turned cold: "...Did I interrupt your good time?"

Zhou Tiexiong's heart skipped a beat.

What was Grandpa Gu implying with those words?

What does he know?

"...Uncle Gu, please speak frankly. I'm listening." In front of this old man from the Gu family, Zhou Tiexiong didn't even have the courage to play tricks.

Because when it comes to cunning, who can outsmart Old Master Gu?

They've been navigating the business world for decades.

To put it dramatically, he has eaten more salt than Zhou Tiexiong has seen snow.

"Since Xiongzi has said so, then this old man will be frank." Gu Wentao was fishing again today.

Du Yusheng held the phone and put it aside to make a call.

Gu Wentao was calmly reeling in his rod.

He stared at the movement on the lake and casually mentioned, "Your second son has been dating a girl surnamed Xie these past few years, named Xie Zheng, right?"

Xie Zheng?

Could Xie Zheng's confidence come from the Gu family?

But when did she get involved with the Gu family?

“Bear, that Xie boy is a close friend of my future granddaughter-in-law. I heard she’s been having relationship problems with your second son lately.”

"Young people should part ways amicably when they're in a relationship. If they truly loved each other, they should separate gracefully so they can still be friends in the future."

"dont you agree?"

These few words reveal quite a lot.

First, the Gu family has a granddaughter-in-law who is not yet married into the family.

Secondly, the granddaughter-in-law and Xie Zheng are 'close friends'.

So, who is the Gu family's future granddaughter-in-law?

Xie Jiaoyue?

Obviously not.

Although there have been rumors over the years that Xie Jiaoyue is the favorite of the Gu family heir.

But Zhou Tiexiong didn't believe it at all.

If that girl were truly Gu Huaizhou's favorite, given his family-oriented ways, he would have married her and pampered her long ago.

Would Gu Huaizhou allow his beloved woman to appear in public like that? Would he profit by spreading rumors?

He was just watching the show!

Furthermore, Zhou Yaoguang's affair was with Xie Jiaoyue.

Would Xie Jiaoyue plead with the Gu family for Xie Zheng's sake?

Even a fool would know it's impossible.

"...Uncle Gu, since you've spoken, how could I not listen? You're right, it's normal for young people to break up and get back together when they're in a relationship."

“This was my second son’s fault. I’ve already disciplined him and put him in solitary confinement to teach him a lesson!”

"As for Xie Zheng, I will keep an eye on the second son to make sure he doesn't bother her anymore, Uncle Gu, you can rest assured."

The Zhou family's rise to prominence was entirely due to Gu Wentao's guidance and support.

No matter how ambitious Zhou Tiexiong was, he dared not presumptuously believe that he could refuse Gu Wentao's arrangements.

Moreover, this was the first time Gu Wentao had ever asked him for a favor.

Those are all favors.

"...Oh, right." Gu Wentao seemed to remember something and added, "I heard that the reason your second son got together with Xie is because he met someone better."

Zhou Tiexiong immediately sensed something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next second they heard Gu Wentao say, "I heard that he and Jiaoyue hit it off and couldn't help but get together."

"I've watched Jiaoyue grow up. She's a brave, beautiful, and intelligent girl."

“Huaizhou asked me to help Jiaoyue find a good boy. As elders, why don’t we do them a favor and bring them together?”

"What do you say?"

Zhou Tiexiong was completely numb.

Oh shit!

If Xie Jiaoyue were truly a 'brave, beautiful, and intelligent' girl, would his child have gotten the chance to take advantage of her?

If Xie Jiaoyue were truly that good, would she betray her best friend Xie Zheng and sleep with Zhou Yaoguang, knowing that Zhou Yaoguang and Xie Zheng were engaged?

Besides, Xie Mingzong and his wife are no good either.

Xie Mingzong was recently detained for forcing a young girl into marriage, and his wife is now nationally infamous for having an affair with an actor...

Xie Jiaoyue really did inherit the skills of that couple!

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Gu Wentao was still smiling, but his voice carried a hint of authority: "Jiaoyue is Huaizhou's sworn sister."

"She was taken advantage of for no reason. Shouldn't your second son give an explanation?"

This isn't matchmaking, it's forcing it on you!

Zhou Tiexiong took a deep breath, feeling as if the air itself was filled with knives, stabbing his throat until it ached.

"Uncle Gu, you flatter us. Our Zhou family will take full responsibility for this matter!"

Zhou Tiexiong then chatted with Gu Wentao for a few more minutes, keeping a respectful distance.

After Gu Wentao hung up the phone first, Zhou Tiexiong could no longer hold back and smashed his phone to pieces.

"go with!"

"Bring that bastard Zhou Yaoguang here!"

Zheng Zhi was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, where are we going...?"

"Go to the Xie family!"

"Propose marriage!"

Oh shit!

Grandpa Gu has already said that Xie Jiaoyue is Gu Huaizhou's sworn sister.

Zhou Yaoguang can sleep with any woman he wants, but he can't sleep with Gu Huaizhou's sworn sister.

What the hell is going on?!
