TLCBITAR Chapter 70
by VolareChapter 70: This Pillow Talk Is About to Flip Me Over
An eerie atmosphere lingered among the Zhou family’s three men.
Zhou Zhou narrowed his eyes, suspiciously sizing up Zhou Jin, who was walking unsteadily, his gaze fixed on his buttocks.
Zhou Jin coughed violently a few times, raised his hand to adjust his glasses, and slowly walked to the sofa to sit down. After adjusting his posture, he said in a low voice, “Dad, if there’s anything, come over here and sit down to talk.”
He frowned almost imperceptibly, his physical discomfort making him restless, to the point that his face was slightly pale.
“Since it’s nothing to do with me, I’ll go upstairs first.” Zhou Zhou observed Zhou Jin for a while, his inner doubts growing deeper.
He stopped in front of the stairs, frowning and lost in thought.
There’s something fishy going on. Could it be that Gu Yuanci has gotten to him?!
Thinking of this possibility, his whole body shuddered, and he felt a chill.
A scene suddenly popped into his mind.
The handsome and striking Gu Yuanci grabbed Zhou Jin’s legs and pinned them against the wall, and then…
Stop, stop!
Although Gu Yuanci and Zhou Jin were of similar build, with Gu Yuanci being slightly taller, he looked like the bottom one no matter how you looked at him.
Pooh! Why did he have to think about such a faggoty thing.
He shook his head, throwing these outrageous images out of his mind.
Seeing his youngest son looking like he was wandering in outer space and preparing to go upstairs, Zhou Hongwei gave a low shout: “Stop, come over here and sit down. I have something to tell you later.”
Zhou Zhou paused, turned back to look at Zhou Hongwei, and said, “Don’t even think about Pei Yanlie’s matter, old man. He won’t come to your house at all. Besides, I’m really not familiar with him. Getting drunk last time was just an accident.”
Zhou Hongwei clutched his chest, forcing himself to calm down, and took a deep breath: “Alright, alright, you don’t need to make so many excuses. If you don’t want to help, then you won’t get a share of the Zhou family company’s shares in the future!”
Seeing his younger brother being treated like this by Zhou Hongwei, Zhou Jin was displeased and said coldly, “Dad, Zhou Zhou doesn’t care about your little shares. Don’t talk so much nonsense. What are you here for today?”
“You! Are you two brothers rebelling?!” Zhou Hongwei suddenly stood up, so angry that his face changed.
Yang Xueyun was touching up her makeup at the villa entrance, and was just about to walk in when she suddenly heard Zhou Hongwei’s angry rebuke. She immediately stopped, a smug smile on her well-maintained face.
She couldn’t wait for Zhou Hongwei to fall out with his two sons, preferably severing all ties. Although her family background was strong, there were several brothers waiting to inherit the family property, and it wouldn’t be her turn to get a share of the money.
Yang Xueyun’s parents couldn’t help her much, and she could only rely on herself in the future.
As long as Zhou Jin and Zhou Zhou left the Zhou family, her daughter Zhou Nian could smoothly inherit all of Zhou Hongwei’s wealth.
Zhou Hongwei had been influenced by Yang Xueyun’s pillow talk, mistakenly believing that his father-in-law was going to help the Zhou family company develop, so for the past few months, he had doted on Yang Xueyun and her daughter.
However, a major problem had occurred in the Zhou family company a few days ago.
The finance manager had absconded with the company’s funds, and the company’s cash flow was difficult. Zhou Hongwei was in a state of panic, trying to force his youngest son to win over Pei Yanlie on the one hand, and walking around in various high society banquets on the other, trying to find a wealthy son-in-law.
In a state of anxiety, Yang Xueyun encouraged him to go to his eldest son Zhou Jin to borrow money.
Therefore, Zhou Hongwei’s purpose in coming today was only this.
Zhou Jin’s game planning company was developing very well, much better than the Zhou family company, but Zhou Jin’s personality was stubborn and shrewd, so it wouldn’t be easy to fool him.
Zhou Hongwei knew his eldest son’s personality well, and after scolding him, he immediately changed his face.
He forced a smile and said in a low voice, “Xiao Jin, Dad’s company is in trouble now. Now is the time for you to repay the Zhou family.”
Zhou Zhou sneered, leaning against the wall, his eyes wandering around Zhou Hongwei, and he unceremoniously complained: “You only come to the door when you need money, and you act like my brother is dead when you don’t have money. I don’t know who’s so thick-skinned.”
Zhou Hongwei gritted his teeth, pretending not to hear.
A hint of sarcasm rose in Zhou Jin’s eyes, and he said in a low voice, “Dad, my company is going to invest in a new project at the end of this month, and the funds can’t be turned around.”
Zhou Hongwei’s face darkened, “You have a lot of money in your personal account, right? I don’t need much, just transfer 500 million.”
Yang Xueyun twisted her slender waist and walked into the villa, sitting on Zhou Hongwei’s lap and acting coquettishly: “Husband, Manager Huang embezzled 1 billion in public funds from the company. Taking only 500 million can’t fill the hole.”
“Heh,” Zhou Jin sneered, his sharp eyes falling on Yang Xueyun, and he mocked, “Isn’t your family very rich? Since you and my dad are so in love, you should be able to come up with a mere 1 billion, right?”
Yang Xueyun laughed awkwardly twice, and secretly pinched Zhou Hongwei’s thigh.
Zhou Hongwei groaned, gave her a glare, turned his gaze to Zhou Jin, and said in a deep voice, “Why bother a weak woman when your son can solve the problem.”
Zhou Zhou laughed, “Tsk tsk, this pillow talk is about to flip me over.”
Seeing his youngest son mocking him again and again, Zhou Hongwei only felt a surge of heat rushing to his head, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
He took out a bottle labeled “Quick-Acting Heart-Relieving Pills” from his pocket, took one pill, and the stuffiness in his chest instantly dissipated, “Your mother passed away early. I can only blame Dad for being busy with work and neglecting you, making you brothers lack fatherly love. I’ve decided…”
Zhou Jin was impervious to persuasion, directly interrupting his words, “Dad, the family card doesn’t work on me, don’t waste your breath.”
Yang Xueyun got up and sat next to Zhou Hongwei, wiped away a handful of tears, and sobbed, “Xiao Jin, a family should be united and harmonious. Your dad is not young anymore, do you really want to force him to have a heart attack?”
She leaned her head on Zhou Hongwei’s arm and continued to cry: “He’s been having chest pains a lot lately, and he takes medicine more often than he eats. Don’t make him angry.”
Tsk tsk, as expected of a young stepmother, she’s crying with a pearly face and rain, no wonder Zhou Hongwei is so infatuated with her.
Zhou Jin had a sarcastic smile on his face, ignoring her.
“Cough cough cough…” Zhou Hongwei covered his mouth and coughed violently a few times, looking weak.
“Xiao Jin, Dad is forced to come to you.”
“I know that the partner of your company’s new project is Tianchuang Technology. Pei Yanlie is your old classmate, and he will take your feelings into consideration to some extent.”
“So, you can move some of the investment funds from the new project to help Dad with the emergency, and he won’t have any objections. Dad promises you that he will definitely fill the hole for you at the beginning of next month.”
Zhou Jin pursed his lips, glanced at him indifferently, stood up, and walked towards the dining room.
For Zhou Hongwei, a shameless person like him, it’s better not to waste words and just ignore him.
Zhou Zhou couldn’t help applauding, and chuckled in a sarcastic tone, “666, Old Man, are you encouraging your own son to break the law? Is it the bad idea of the young female strategist next to you?”
The young female strategist Yang Xueyun’s face changed suddenly, and she glared at him fiercely and said, “Don’t slander me without evidence!”
She hooked her arms around Zhou Hongwei’s arm, pouting her mouth dissatisfiedly: “Husband~ Look at Zhou Zhou! How does he talk!”
“If you want to argue, go out and argue, don’t babble in my house.”
Zhou Jin picked up a glass of water and took a sip, slammed the glass on the dining table, and looked at Yang Xueyun indifferently.
He said coldly without politeness: “To put it bluntly, don’t even think about 500 million.”
