TLCBITAR Chapter 24

“Causing such a ruckus as soon as you’re back, what’s the meaning of this!”

“Do you know how much that vase cost me! Don’t even think about getting any living expenses this month!”

“A grown man bullying two women, how capable!”

At the dining table, Zhou Hongwei was red in the face with anger,

His mouth was like a cannon, constantly bombarding Zhou Zhou, who was sitting across from him, eating seriously.

Seeing that he had no reaction, as if he hadn’t heard a thing, Zhou Hongwei slammed the table, startling Zhou Nian so much that her chopsticks trembled, and a meatball slipped from her grasp, falling into the bowl of soup, splashing everywhere.

“Ah!” she cried out in pain, scalded by the sixty-degree soup.

“Oh dear, my precious darling, your hand is going to get blisters, Mom will take you upstairs to put on some ointment,” Yang Xueyun said, grabbing her hand with a look of heartache, then winking at her, signaling her to follow her.

Zhou Nian hesitated for a moment, she wasn’t full yet.

Seeing Zhou Hongwei’s face as black as the bottom of a pot, giving off the feeling that he was about to flip the table, she immediately stood up and followed Yang Xueyun upstairs.

The dining room instantly became quiet.

Zhou Zhou was oblivious to everything around him, focused solely on eating.

Until the bottom of the bowl was empty, he licked his lips, picked up the bowl, and walked into the kitchen in his house slippers.

Scanning Auntie Fang with his gaze, he leisurely opened his mouth and asked, “Auntie Fang, why do you always hide in the kitchen to eat? Can’t be seen?”

Auntie Fang lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at him, suppressing the fear in her heart, “Young Master Zhou, this is Madam Yang’s order, I have no choice but to obey.”

Zhou Zhou casually retorted, “Nonsensical.”

He walked a few steps to the rice cooker, opened the lid, and saw that there was only a layer of hard, burnt rice stuck to the bottom, and continued, “Didn’t I tell you to cook more rice? Tsk, at least we’re rich people, why not get a better rice cooker, the rice is all burnt to the bottom.”

“Young Master Zhou, Madam Yang said to be frugal, we should make do with what we have,” Auntie Fang raised her eyes, revealing a troubled expression.

Zhou Zhou put down the bowl, furrowed his brows, and his tone carried a hint of displeasure, “Heh, she’s not frugal herself, spending tens of thousands of yuan on a single skincare treatment.”

Auntie Fang swallowed her saliva, not saying a word.

She didn’t expect Young Master Zhou to become so sharp-tongued after changing his style.

Zhou Zhou walked out of the kitchen and saw Zhou Hongwei with a dark expression, looking at him with a thoughtful look. He raised his eyebrows, pulled out a chair, sat down, and asked with interest, “Dad, you’re unusually calling me home, is there something good to tell me?”

Zhou Hongwei put down his chopsticks and asked in a deep voice, “When did you become so familiar with the sole heir of the Pei family?”

Zhou Zhou raised the corners of his mouth, asking with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “Where did you see that I’m familiar with him?”

“Tch, the evidence is conclusive.” After saying that, Zhou Hongwei took out his phone, opened the photo album, and placed it on the table.

Zhou Zhou reached out and took the phone, lowered his eyes to look, and the scene in the photo was clearly Yuhua Bar, he was being supported by Pei Yanlie as they walked out of the bathroom, his face covered in snot and tears.

“I swear! Are you sure this is me?!”

He widened his eyes and said incredulously, never expecting himself to look like such a mess after getting drunk.

Zhou Hongwei stood up, snatched the phone, and scolded with a stern face, “If it’s not you, then who is it, a ghost?”

“Yeah, it’s a ghost.” He raised his eyes and said seriously to Zhou Hongwei.

Zhou Hongwei sat down and asked with a straight face, “Stop being glib, do you know him?”

Zhou Zhou casually brushed it off, “I don’t know him.”

With a “bang,” Zhou Hongwei slammed the table again.

He leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and joked, “Dad, does your hand hurt, or does the table hurt?”

Zhou Hongwei’s eyes were about to burst with anger, and his face was also twisted, “Seeing you two hugging, are you a homosexual?”

Zhou Zhou shivered and said with disgust, “Don’t say such terrifying things, your son is straighter than you.”

“If you’re lying, may you be struck by lightning,” Zhou Hongwei blurted out.

“If I’m lying, may you be left without descendants!” Zhou Zhou retorted without backing down.

Zhou Hongwei only felt a sharp pain in his head, the son who used to be silent and walked without a sound had now become so sharp-tongued, he was afraid he would get a heart attack from anger.

After taking a deep breath, he said, “It’s best if you’re not a homosexual. Since you know Pei Yanlie, find some time to invite him over to the house for a meal.”

Zhou Zhou sneered and refused, “Why should I?”

“Because I’m your father?!” Zhou Hongwei slammed the table again.

The dining table was slammed three times, shaking violently as if it was about to fall apart.

Zhou Zhou sat up straight, stared at Zhou Hongwei’s face, and said with a serious expression, “We don’t even look alike.”

Zhou Hongwei, whose head was vaguely emitting a green light, almost coughed up blood from anger. He pounded his chest a few times, and after calming down, he suppressed his anger and said, “Pei Yanlie is immensely wealthy, his industries cover a wide range, whoever marries him will get this immense wealth, and the family’s company will also get his strong support.”

Zhou Zhou instantly bristled, “I’m straight, don’t even think about it!”

Zhou Hongwei retorted unhappily, “Did I say I wanted you to marry him?!”

“Oh, it’s none of my business, then I’ll leave?” After saying that, he actually stood up to leave.

Zhou Hongwei followed suit, “Stop! I want you to help Nian Nian, to get her to seduce Pei Yanlie.”

Zhou Zhou tilted his head, looked at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, and directly refused, “Don’t even think about it.”

Pei Yanlie could only belong to the female lead Su Wanxing, what were other nobodies trying to join in on.

Zhou Hongwei wanted to get angry, but in the end, he didn’t, enduring for a while before saying, “If Nian Nian successfully marries into the Pei family, the shares of the Zhou family’s company will belong to you in the future.”

Zhou Zhou didn’t hold back and retorted, “Oh, just that little bit, not even enough to fill the gap between my teeth.”

Seeing the other party raise his hand again to slam the table, Zhou Zhou slowly said, “If the table is broken, the thrifty Auntie Yang won’t buy a new one.”

Yang Xueyun, who was hiding on the second floor listening in, was so angry that smoke was coming out of her ears. She took off her glittering crystal slippers, wanting to throw them over.

Zhou Nian quickly stopped her, “Mom, calm down! That idiot is just running his mouth, he can’t cause us any physical harm.”

Yang Xueyun retorted through gritted teeth, “But he’s causing me magical damage!”

Zhou Nian curiously asked, “Did you play the game account that Brother Jin gave you?”

“Yeah, free stuff, it’d be a waste not to play,” Yang Xueyun said with a smug look, then her face darkened as she complained, “Don’t change the subject.”

The mother and daughter were sneaking behind the railing on the second floor, perking up their ears to eavesdrop.

“I’m telling you, the Zhou family has raised you for nineteen years, if you don’t listen to me, then pack your bags and get out!”

“Oh, okay, I’ll leave.” Zhou Zhou replied as if it was nothing, raising his foot and walking towards the villa’s entrance.

Without the Zhou family, he could still crash at his older brother’s place.

“Stop!” Zhou Hongwei was anxious, never expecting his son to be so unyielding.

Zhou Zhou paused for half a second, then continued to walk out.

“If you walk out of this door, don’t ever come back!”

“Okay, should we add a formal severance of relationship?” Zhou Zhou raised his hand and waved, saying casually.

With a “bang” accompanied by the shattering sound of a plate hitting the ground, Zhou Hongwei finally got so angry that he flipped the table.

“You unfilial son! Don’t ever come back!” A roar resounded throughout the Zhou family.
