Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!
Chapter 994 - 421: The Son's Happiness_2

Then took a few girls out to buy groceries.

Jiang Xinyi looked at Yang Lijuan, who insisted on cooking herself, feeling a bit helpless, but eventually followed her.

As for the study.

The study has a ceiling height of 3.2 meters, and it feels almost as big as an ordinary living room. The decor of this study is quite modern, with a whole wall of bookshelves filled with various books.

Besides, there's a small terrace where you can see the garden outside while sitting.

After Zhou Yuwen led Old Zhou inside, he casually sat on the boss chair and said with a smile, "How about it, Dad? Isn't my study nice? Isn't it much better than yours?"

Old Zhou looked at his son's indifferent expression, his stern face not relaxing, and asked somewhat unhappily, "Who told you to sit down?"

Zhou Yuwen laughed and said, "Come on, Dad. My study has pretty good soundproofing. My dad isn't the type who gets angry easily. Sit down, Dad. Do you want me to make you a cup of tea?"

Old Zhou felt speechless about this son and asked, "You sit inside?"

Zhou Yuwen immediately stood up with a smile, quickly came over to pull his dad to sit in the main seat, and said, "Yes, yes, how could it not be my dad sitting here? How is it? This chair cost me over ten thousand yuan. Is it comfortable?"

Old Zhou was truly speechless about this son. Old Zhou was known for concealing his emotions, so a sudden outburst like that was not typical of Old Zhou's character.

But in such a situation, what if Old Zhou didn't say it?

How would one deal with the former girlfriend and the current girlfriend?

Though it seemed deliberate, it was not, as Old Zhou genuinely couldn't stand seeing his son's indifferent face, which prompted him to reprimand Zhou Yuwen.

Even now, Zhou Yuwen was grinning at him.

- He still didn't show Zhou Yuwen a pleasant expression, puzzled about what Zhou Yuwen was actually thinking.

Wasn't it good during New Year with little Su?

Although she comes from a single-parent family, her mother, Pan Min, is a teacher at the Second Middle School, reasonably respectable.

Zhou Yuwen sat at the table, listening to Old Zhou's rambling, and couldn't help but smile, saying, "Oh? Dad, you're impressive. You didn't even know Aunt Pan Min was at the Second Middle School? Seems like you care about me quite a bit?"

That sentence directly stifled Old Zhou, leaving him speechless.

You're the only son.

And you brought a girlfriend home?

How could Old Zhou not inquire?

Especially since she comes from a single-parent family.

What if the girl's parents have issues?

Old Zhou, being in this line of work, would definitely ask around with friends.

If we're to talk about social status.

In past life, Zhou Yuwen paired with Su Qing effortlessly.

Why would Su Qing later think Zhou Yuwen was beneath her?

That's because from dating to marriage, they basically faced no obstacles.

They just visited the parents, and Zhou Yuwen's parents were quite pleased with Su Qing. And the matter was settled.

However, what they didn't know was,

Zhou Yuwen's parents had already checked Su Qing thoroughly.

"I casually asked about the situation with a friend from the education department." Indeed, purposefully asked, but to Old Zhou, it's just casually.

But Zhou Yuwen understood.

In past life, he lived too carelessly, but thinking carefully now.

Really, for those who think their life is easy, it's actually their parents carrying the burden behind the scenes, which he hadn't thought about seriously before.

Now he understands.

Looking at his father seated in front of him, Zhou Yuwen patted his father's shoulder, saying, "You've struggled too, Old Zhou."

Old Zhou raised an eyebrow, "What did you call me?"

Zhou Yuwen grinned, "Dad!"

Now Zhou Yuwen's accomplishments indeed made Old Zhou feel pleased, so in the interactions with his son, he wouldn't maintain such a formal demeanor often.

But he still had to ask about the situation that happened just now.

"I haven't asked much since you were a child, but I know you're a boy with a mind of your own. When you brought little Su home, I thought you were settled, but just now it seemed like you only dated little Zheng for not even two months, and then with, "

Old Zhou thought of Jiang Xinyi.

He said, "Indeed a bit older."

Listening to his father's words, Zhou Yuwen also remained silent.

Old Zhou said, we are always an honest family.

"I, your few relatives, your eldest aunt's life may have been a bit hard, but never thought of divorce or anything. We are always honest, and at your age, you already."

"Dad, I'm not even married yet?"

Old Zhou hadn't finished his sentence when Zhou Yuwen interrupted him, saying, Dad, times are different now; before marriage, I ought to date a few and see which one suits me.

Old Zhou said don't change the concept here.

"Have I ever said no to dating? The problem is you can't date one and look at another. You're dating little Zheng here while still in touch with little Su and then later meeting that Jiang?"

Zhou Yuwen smiled, saying nothing.

"In our times, breaking up after dating was normal, but we didn't say while dating one, still connecting with the previous. We'd always break cleanly."

Zhou Yuwen said, "Oh, how many did you have before my mom?"

Initially maintaining a stern face to educate the son, but upon hearing this, he was immediately speechless, just wanting to give a long lecture when Zhou Yuwen smiled and said, "Come on, Dad, I've grown up, and I know what I'm doing."

As he spoke, Zhou Yuwen got up and walked to the window, with an expression of having his reasons, saying, there are things Dad you're not clear on.

"Actually, my relationship with Jiang Xinyi count as an accident."

"That day I was meeting a few companies from Baidu to discuss cooperation, but Xinyi's mother insisted on publicly announcing I was Xinyi's boyfriend."

"At that time, there were notable people around, and I couldn't just refuse directly, consequently being miswritten by the media."

Listening to Zhou Yuwen say that, Old Zhou understood and said, "That little Jiang indeed doesn't seem ordinary."

"What's so extraordinary?" Zhou Yuwen wanted to hear Old Zhou's evaluation of Jiang Xinyi.

Old Zhou instead said, "Not someone an ordinary family like ours can handle."

Listening to this, Zhou Yuwen nodded but said, "But your son isn't ordinary."

Seeing Zhou Yuwen so confident, it left Old Zhou somewhat helpless, as the saying goes, 'The wood that stands out is the one that gets battered by the wind.' Meaning young people shouldn't be too arrogant.

But everyone has their youthful folly.

Old Zhou's approach to educating his son was always more laissez-faire, calling Zhou Yuwen over earlier just to prevent an embarrassing scene.

Old Zhou's meaning was, now that you're grown and have your own thoughts, I can't control you.

But you should find someone genuinely suitable for you.

"I look at little Su and little Zheng outside, both actually quite good, and," Old Zhou thought of Tao Tian but didn't know how to say it.

Zhou Yuwen laughed and asked who else?

Old Zhou knew his son surely had something going on with Tao Tian, but since Zhou Yuwen didn't mention it, Old Zhou wouldn't proactively discuss his son's gossip.

Especially seeing Zhou Yuwen's knowingly amused look.

Old Zhou said just the two.

"That little Jiang is actually alright too, just has a bit of a temper. If you marry her, your mom might suffer." Old Zhou commented.

Zhou Yuwen smiled and said, "What does it have to do with my mom? Besides, if my mom suffers, wouldn't you suffer too?"

Old Zhou replied matter-of-factly, "I have nothing to do with her."

Zhou Yuwen asked again, "So my mom has to have connections?"

Old Zhou ignored Zhou Yuwen, as surely there would be connections between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and a father-in-law had the option to turn a blind eye, but not a mother-in-law.

Old Zhou wasn't originally interested in these matters; he felt his son's romantic life was somewhat chaotic, but not tremendously shocking—anyway, as long as his son controlled it.

Some say, Zhou Yuwen's situation was explosive.

However, when Old Zhou investigated some cases, affairs between unmarried men and women were not considered matters at all.

Like a neighborhood where mistresses living was common,
