As Xiang Han expected, Zhou Yueze came back the next day, personally sent by his father.
Xiang Han had just woken up and was yawning as he walked down the stairs. Seeing that there was someone in the living room, he immediately shut up and put on his poker face.
Seeing him appear, Zhou Chengxi hurriedly got up and walked forward. He reached out his right hand and leaned forward slightly with a decent smile on his face. "Fifth Lord …"
Xiang Han avoided him and frowned. "Uncle Zhang?"
The smile on Zhou Chengxi's face froze, but he quickly retracted his hand naturally and said apologetically, "Fifth Lord, I'm really sorry this time. My son is a little arrogant and unintentionally offended you yesterday. As his father, I didn't teach him well.
As a matter of fact, I brought him here early this morning to apologize to you.
He's just a child who doesn't know any better. Please don't hold it against him. "
Zhou Yueze's face was bruised and his hands were tied behind his back. He was looking at them indifferently, his eyes dead.
Xiang Han ignored him. When the butler arrived, he directly asked, "Who allowed you to let people in?"
Zhou Chengxi was stunned. "…"
The butler was also stunned, then explained in a low voice, "But the one who came was Young Master Zhou …" Didn't you send people to protect him yesterday? Didn't you take a fancy to him?
"Take them to the next room."
Xiang Han frowned and interrupted him. Then, he looked at Zhou Yueze and saw that his hands were tied and blood was smeared on the sofa. He ordered, "Call Doctor Chung over. Also, change the carpet and sofa in the living room and clean it."
The butler was used to it and hurriedly went to arrange it.
Zhou Chengxi was still in a daze. Zhou Yueze's eyes flashed with anger, his chest rising and falling slightly.
The two were quickly taken away. Xiang Han finished his breakfast and slowly wiped his mouth. Then, he ordered as reservedly as possible, "Add a basket of crab roe soup dumplings tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, he secretly observed the kitchen maid's reaction. When he saw the kitchen maid nod in agreement, he did not show any surprise.
Xiang Han was relieved, but then he regretted it. He should have added another serving of Crystal Shrimp Dumplings.
Zhou Chengxi waited in the side hall for more than half an hour. During this time, he talked to Zhou Yueze again. When he saw that Xiang Han still hadn't arrived, he suddenly felt a little nervous.
He paced back and forth for a few steps. When he raised his head and saw Zhou Yueze's nonchalant expression, he couldn't help but scold him again, "If we really offend the Fifth Lord Jiang this time, let alone your mother, even the Zhou Family won't be able to get away with it.
If you really care about your mother, you'd better apologize to me later. "
Zhou Yueze's expression became even more sarcastic.
What does the Zhou Family have to do with him?
As for Ji Wei, ha, he had never seen a mother like her, pushing her own son into a fire pit.
Zhou Chengxi was even angrier when he saw him like this. Just as he was about to teach him a lesson, Doctor Chung suddenly pushed open the door and entered. Xiang Han was standing behind him.
Zhou Chengxi hurriedly stopped and went forward to greet him, "Fifth Lord, you're finally here.
I just taught this kid a lesson. He already knows his mistake … "
Xiang Han raised his hand and interrupted him, "You can go back."
Zhou Chengxi, "Uh …"
Xiang Han motioned for Doctor Chung to untie Zhou Yueze and treat his wound.
When he turned around and saw that he was still there, he said, "I don't want to trouble you. Since you sent him here, he has nothing to do with the Zhou Family in the future."
Zhou Chengxi understood and hurriedly said, "Fifth Lord, don't worry. When I go back, I'll publish a statement in the newspaper and sever all ties with him." After saying that, he carefully asked, "Then … Fifth Lord, the development project of the Bay Water Pier …"
The ropes on Zhou Yueze's hands had already been untied. When he heard this, his knuckles cracked. Then, Doctor Chung forced him to untie them.
Xiang Han calmly replied, "Everything will remain the same."
What he meant was that he wouldn't fight with the Zhou Family. Zhou Chengxi finally breathed a sigh of relief and bid farewell with satisfaction.
Before he left, he gave Zhou Yueze a meaningful look.
Although it was a pity to give up his son, it would be worth it if he could use this opportunity to pull down the Jiang family.
Zhou Yueze sat there motionlessly, allowing Doctor Chung to torment him. After Zhou Chengxi left, he smiled coldly and looked up at Xiang Han. "Are you very proud?"
Xiang Han was helpless. The one who sent you back was your father, not me.
He pushed his glasses up, and the lenses reflected a cold light. His voice was cold. "You seem to be mistaken. From the beginning to the end, I didn't do anything, including drugging him." It was all your father and brother's doing. If you want to blame someone, blame them.
Zhou Yueze understood what he meant, which was why he hated him even more. However, he didn't want to show weakness, so he snorted coldly. "If you didn't force him, would he have done that?"
"The Zhou Family blocked my business. It's only right that I take revenge.
As for your father selling his son for glory, it's his own choice. Even if it wasn't for me, he would have done the same. "
Zhou Yueze was hit where it hurt, and he immediately became silent.
Who asked him to have a mother who was a mistress? Who asked him to be born lower than Zhou Yueqing? Therefore, he only deserved to be used as a tool.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xiang Han turned and left. He instructed the housekeeper who had been standing outside the door. "Take him to wash up later, and then bring him to the study."
The housekeeper nodded repeatedly. After Doctor Chung was done, he immediately took Zhou Yueze to take a bath and advised him. "Since you're here, take it easy. For you, Mister broke up with all his boyfriends yesterday. He didn't even get angry when you bit him. After you left, he even sent someone to protect you secretly … I've been in the Jiang family for more than 20 years, and I've never seen Mister so attentive to anyone."
As he spoke, Zhou Yueze's eyes became more hostile. If it weren't for the fact that he was an old man, he would probably have told him to shut up.
Half an hour later, Zhou Yueze appeared in the study. His expression was much calmer. It seemed that he had thought it through. He immediately said, "I can stay by your side."
Xiang Han was practicing calligraphy. This was a habit formed in the previous world. When he heard this, he paused and looked at him with some surprise.
When he realized that he had lost his composure, he immediately coughed and covered it up. "Do you have the ability to refuse?"
Zhou Yueze's eyes flashed with a hint of forbearance, but when he thought of the housekeeper's words, he gritted his teeth and said, "I know you like me, but this kind of thing can't be forced. I also heard that you don't like to force others.
So, I think we can change our relationship. For example, you can hire me. I'll prove my ability to help you with anything, except … sleeping with you. "
After saying this, he looked at Xiang Han nervously.
The other party had admitted it himself yesterday and even broke up with all his lovers. So, he should like him.
This kind of liking might not be strong, or it might just be a temporary interest. But as long as the novelty was still there, it might be possible … to become his bargaining chip.
Xiang Han was stunned. The tip of the pen stopped on the paper and a blob of ink appeared.
When did he say that he liked this kid?
Hmm … Could it be yesterday, when he broke up with Xiao Lu?
This kid heard it?
Xiang Han wanted to cover his face. This was a big misunderstanding. How could that sentence be heard?
He was very anxious, worried that the situation in the previous world would repeat itself. But in order to not violate his character setting, he could only explain slowly. "You probably misunderstood. Yesterday, I said that just to cut off Xiao Lu's thoughts."
Zhou Yueze's expression changed slightly. Obviously, he didn't believe it.
In his opinion, with Jiang Han's status, why would he need to find an excuse to break up with her?
This was just a disguised rejection. He still wanted to let him … be his lover.
Zhou Yueze's expression became more and more ugly. He clenched his teeth so hard that the taste of blood filled his mouth.
But Xiang Han changed the topic and said, "But it's not that I can't agree to your request." In fact, he couldn't wait to agree immediately.
Zhou Yueze suddenly raised his head. His expression changed and he calmed down. He asked warily, "What's the condition?"
"The condition … is that you have to let me watch a good show."
Xiang Han deliberately smiled a little more devilishly, a little more villainous.
But the original owner was good-looking and had a cold temperament. He also didn't smile all year round.
So when he occasionally smiled, it was like seeing the moon through the clouds, filling the room with light.
Zhou Yueze was a little stunned. After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly looked away. He asked in a low voice, "What good show?"
Xiang Han took out a document from the drawer and put it on the table. Then he crossed his fingers and said mysteriously, "You'll understand after you read it."
Zhou Yueze glanced at him and hesitantly took the document. After flipping it open for a moment, his expression suddenly changed.
He slammed the document shut. His hands trembled slightly. He stared at Xiang Han and asked, "Where … did this come from?"
"You don't need to know where it came from. You just need to know that it's real."
The document was the paternity test result between Zhou Yueze, Zhou Chengxi, and Lu Wan. Of course, it was fake. Where could he have gotten a paternity test result in such a short time?
But the process wasn't important. It was fine as long as the result was right.
Sigh, speaking of which, this move was also learned from Lu Ze.
Zhou Yueze suffered a big blow. But after being betrayed by his own father, his ability to resist blows had obviously improved a lot. He quickly calmed down, but his voice was still a little hoarse. "Why should I believe you?
He … what reason does he have to do this? "
Xiang Han looked at him sympathetically and calmly explained, "Zhou Chengxi and Lu Wan had a business marriage. There were no feelings between the two of them.
Ji Wei was Zhou Chengxi's university classmate. Zhou Chengxi pursued her for two years. When he got married to Lu Wan, they broke up at one point. Not long after, they got back together.
In addition, Zhou Yueqing's health is not good. We need the Zhou Family's connections to arrange a famous doctor. "
After saying that, he handed him a document and added, "This is the paternity test result between Zhou Yueqing, Zhou Chengxi, and Ji Wei."
Zhou Yueze glanced at it and closed it. He looked at him and asked, "Why are you helping me?"
"I'm not helping you."
Xiang Han shook his head and said, "The Zhou Family wants to use you to trip me up. It's normal for me to return the favor."
"Use me?"
"You don't need to know that."
Zhou Yueze was silent. He still had some doubts. "But with Mr. Jiang's ability, it seems easy to destroy the Zhou Family. There's no need … to do this."
