[Jiang Huihui was a bit curious, “Why are you this certain that your dad doesn’t love you?”
“How am I certain?” He got amused by her words, “Which family’s father and son can clearly count the number of times they meet in a year on their ten fingers? He is just so high and mighty, what do I count as?”
“But, he won’t wrongly accuse you.” Unknown as to why, she clearly wasn’t familiar with what kind of person his father was, but her tone was very certain.
Zhou Yanli didn’t retort, “That’s true.”
His dad was someone who was extremely hard to approach. That suffocating authoritative presence was so powerful that even he, his son, felt intimidated.
Let alone outsiders.
But, he was protective of his own, particularly protective of his own.
Before, there was a person that nearly got beaten to death by Zhou Yanli. Due to the severity of this matter, the school had no choice but to call his dad.
Young Master Zhou, regardless of which school he attends, will always enroll with generous resources.
What will forever enter the school with him was the several buildings donated by his dad, as well as the annual eight figure scholarship.
That time, his dad was overseas participating in an international conference, heard that this conference was very important.
But, who could’ve thought that his dad, who was attending as a representative, would withdraw at the last minute.
No one knew the reason. There were many speculations.
In fact, even global market trends got brought out.
Actually, the reason was just because his son got into a fight in school.
When his dad arrived at the school, Zhou Yanli was standing to the side. He was well-behaved for once, not saying a word.
Zhou Jinwei glanced at him, then went to negotiate with the school. The school explained the cause and effect.

During PE, Zhou Yanli suddenly just attacked someone.
First, it was using the basketball to have the person knocked over, then without a second word, charged over and just started ruthlessly beating up the other party.
After Zhou Jinwei finished listening to everything, just asked him one thing, “Is this the case?”
Zhou Yanli said no.
Zhou Jinwei didn’t continue asking, nodding his head and letting him go out first.
What happened inside afterwards, he didn’t know.
He just knew that the school began re-investigating the cause and effect.
Turns out, the guy who got beaten up had been provoking him the whole time, saying some offensive remarks.
Considering that he’d just transferred over, Zhou Yanli, who’d rather endure wherever he can, chose to ignore him.
But then the other party started insulting his mom, saying that his mom was a gold digger, who for the sake of marrying into the Zhou family, secretly made moves, and after getting pregnant with Zhou Yanli, successfully climbed her way up.
“Else, based on your father’s status, why would he fall for a country bumpkin from a small town? Too bad, she doesn’t have the luck for a rich life, dropping dead so early.”
Without a second word, Zhou Yanli just charged over and had the other party nearly beaten to death.
He’d beaten the other party until his eyes were bloodshot, his fist even drawing blood, yet he was still unwilling to stop.
“Keep f@#$ing running your mouth! Keep going!”
He was the spoiled rich heir who would make everyone in the entire capital all frown whenever mentioning.
Carefree and unruly with no bottom line.
But there was always an exception.
Only his mom was an absolute taboo that no one can touch.
The final outcome was Zhou Yanli writing a self-reflection and reading it in front of the whole school.
After all, having the person beaten into the ICU was indeed his fault.
Zhou Jinwei would never cover for him on this kind of matter.
If it’s his fault, then he must acknowledge it.
However, immediately after, he just turned around and had the other party’s parents’ businesses all cleanly cut off, resolute and merciless, not showing the slightest bit of mercy.
Heard that not long after, that company declared bankruptcy, and in the end, their entire family dejectedly emigrated overseas.
After Jiang Huihui heard, she was somewhat shocked.
It was like a story from another world, with immense power and countless wealth.
In that world, even emigration became a fallback option.
Zhou Yanli said with a laugh, “What are you feeling shocked for? The man in the story who possesses countless wealth and immense power is precisely your future husband.”
Jiang Huihui inwardly grumbled, starting to say nonsense again.
Zhou Yanli was someone who was never serious, confident yet full of himself, impulsive and careless.
Perhaps only extreme contrast can bring people the most profound sensory impact.
Whenever he was serious, he was more convincing than ordinary people. After saying these words, he began praising her again, “Jiang Huihui, you were very brave today. When you were being wrongly accused, you did your best to defend yourself.”
She lowered her head, “But my defense was useless.”
Her mom was convinced that she did it, so matter how she explains, it’ll all be useless.
“That’s because gran—-your mom is unreasonable. Nothing to do with you. You were great.”
Jiang Huihui suddenly had a kind of hard to describe feeling.
She’d grown up in a family where she was always being denied and neglected. This seemingly was even her first time getting unconditionally trusted and praised by someone.
“Zhou Yanli, thank you.”
He lifted his brow, “Thank me for what?”
“Thank you for staying with me, and also for………always helping me.”
He smiled, “No matter what I do for you, it’s only natural. Jiang Huihui, my life was given by you. It should be me thanking you.”
As soon as he said this, extremely soft sobbing sounds came from her direction.
She previously had always felt that he was a liar who had issues in the head.
But now, she suddenly began to wish.
How great it would be if he really was her family.
Zhou Yanli was both helpless and amused, “Crying again?”
Jiang Huihui sniffled, stubbornly saying no.
Zhou Yanli suddenly regretted that in the past seventeen years of his life, he didn’t have any experience with girls, else he wouldn’t become at a loss for what to do every time she starts crying.
He could only use the same trick again, continuing to divert her attention.
He asked her, “Did you bring your phone?”
Jiang Huihui stopped in the middle of crying, getting interrupted by his question, her expression even a bit confused, “Brought it.”
He extended his hand towards her, “Give it to me.”
Her backpack was placed on the cabinet by the bed. Jiang Huihui crawled out of bed, taking out her cellphone from her backpack and handing it to him.
Zhou Yanli looked at the PHS[1] in his hand. This thing twenty years ago was probably also considered a relic. Who knew that she was actually still using it. Looks like he needs to think of ways to fish some more from Zhou Jinwei and then buy her a new cellphone.
He dialed a string of numbers according to his memory. Unexpectedly, it actually went through.
Although doing this wasn’t very nice, calling someone in the middle of the night to disturb them, but who let your wife be in a bad mood, and I truly don’t know how to cheer her up, so can only let you sacrifice your sleep.
Zhou Yanli pressed the speaker.
It rung a few times before it finally got picked up.
The man’s voice was deep and distant; the color of the night made it sound even colder, “Who is it?”
Zhou Yanli deepened his voice, asking him, “Want to buy insurance? We have all kinds of services here, life insurance, accident insurance, infertility insurance, which one do you want? I can break you a deal.”
Jiang Huihui widened her eyes. He actually dared to prank call Zhou Jinwei?
That is Zhou Jinwei! Does he want to die?
Break what deal, more like come break their legs!
Zhou Yanli shrugged, letting her not worry. He won’t be able to tell.
However, in the next second…..
The man spoke in a deep voice, accurately recognizing him, “Zhou Yanli?”
Zhou Yanli instantly sat up straight. Where did he still have the slightest bit of carefree arrogance from just now.
He’d squeezed his throat so much that he can directly go rap, yet he could still tell?
“F@#%, how could you tell?”
The other party succinctly stated, “The voice sounded very punchable.”
Zhou Yanli had an unsightly look, “Who the f@$# are you saying sounds punchable! This young master’s voice was inherited from you!”
The source of evil was actually mocking him, this victim.
Zhou Jinwei ignored his nonsensical ramblings, calmly giving a place name, “Hejin Hotel.”
The middle-aged man’s voice was deep and rich, “Yes, young master.”
What sounded immediately after was just the sound of the car engine starting up.
Hejin Hotel was precisely where they were staying at currently.
Jiang Huihui’s first reaction was fear. They were done for, Zhou Jinwei was coming to sort them out.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yanli’s first reaction was the God of Wealth was coming; his days of suffering were finally coming to an end.
