Chapter 377: Chapter 260 Ruthless_2

Liu Jun and Wang Xiaoguang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Tomorrow it wouldn’t be their shift anymore; let the troubles fall onto the comrades on duty then.

As the footsteps faded away, Zhou Mikang’s furrowed brow finally relaxed.

He had anticipated that Ye Meiru would return.

The obstacle Old Master Ye could not overcome was his staying single. Once he got married, the Ye Family would naturally bring Ye Meiru back home. They couldn’t just let her drift outside all her life because of him.

Seeing her again, he surprisingly did not feel the anger he had anticipated. Truly, he had driven her away simply because he did not want any further entanglements with her, he was already married, and no matter what the future held, as long as Chuxia was with him, he would absolutely not do anything to make Chuxia uncomfortable.

It was he who had forcibly married her, so naturally he should not create unnecessary trouble for her. He knew women were sensitive about relationships; regardless of his feelings for Ye Meiru, any dealings with Ye Meiru would definitely make Chuxia uncomfortable.

Therefore, he had to completely eliminate this problem from the root.

Ye Meiru’s so-called help must be about convincing her grandpa. She still didn’t understand Old Master Ye very well. During such times, even if no one spoke up, he wouldn’t just ignore the Zhou family.

Moreover, a few days ago Grandpa had already had someone send a letter. Xiao Yuwen’s attempt to bring Grandpa Ye to their side not only failed to persuade him, but also made Old Master Ye determine to help the Zhou family. He had already sent letters to the Ye Family in Capital City. Regardless of whether it could make a difference, he acknowledged this favor, but the favor he acknowledged was from the Ye Family, not from Ye Meiru.

Thinking of his young wife, a warm feeling surged in his heart. Of course, the letter from Grandpa also mentioned his precious young wife; at such a young age, and having married him reluctantly, she was able to handle everything impeccably, taking care of everything and everyone—a decision possibly the most insightful he had ever made!

These days, staying alone in this room, he had enough time to think and clearly recognized that his feelings for Ye Meiru in those days were mostly out of habit.

Accustomed to growing up together, accustomed to the plan to marry her as he grew up, accustomed to the family arranging her for him, accustomed to taking care of her, accustomed to making concessions to her...

...

These days, the situation of the Zhou family was getting increasingly tense. Not only were the already-working Zhou family members suspended from their jobs, but even Zhou Huakang was suspended from his classes. As he packed up his belongings and went downstairs, he encountered Zhou Zhongkang, who passed by him with a sullen face.

"Third Brother..." Hesitating for a moment, Zhou Huakang called out to him, "do you want to come home with me?"

Zhou Zhongkang continued up the stairs as if he hadn’t heard.

"Third Brother!" Zhou Huakang hurriedly took two steps to catch him, "I’m calling you, why are you acting deaf?"

"I’m no longer your Third Brother..." Zhou Zhongkang looked around, and seeing people occasionally glancing at them, turned and went downstairs, "Let’s not talk about this here."

Given the special circumstances, Zhou Huakang didn’t bother arguing and simply followed his footsteps forward, reaching a secluded corner. Zhou Zhongkang looked at Zhou Huakang seriously: "I’ve made it clear in the newspapers, I’m no longer a member of the Zhou family. So, in the future, don’t call me Third Brother. If you’re willing to consider me a friend, just greet me when we meet; if not, then pretend you don’t know me."

"You..." Zhou Huakang stared at him blankly, not knowing what to say. He always knew Third Brother was ruthless, but he never expected him to be this ruthless.

At a time when the Zhou family needed unity more than ever, his first thought was to extricate himself quickly. If he really wanted to separate from the Zhou family, why didn’t he leave when there was no trouble?

He only had a falling out with his second uncle when his eldest uncle and Third Brother were arrested. Clearly, he had received some news earlier and adopted a wait-and-see attitude; seeing the first signs of trouble, he quickly extracted himself from the Zhou family.

"Are you sure you will no longer be a member of the Zhou family?" Zhou Huakang looked at him fixedly, "I’m not just asking this for myself—I will go back and talk to Grandpa and my second uncle and his wife about it."

Zhou Zhongkang said expressionlessly: "Then please tell them, since I’m no longer a member of the Zhou family, the Zhou family need not involve themselves in my affairs anymore."

"Fine!" Zhou Huakang gave him a thumbs up, "You’re tough, really tough. From now on, you’re not my Third Brother anymore, I’ll remember that. By the way, Zhou Zhongkang, if you’re capable, why don’t you change your last name too, just switch to ’Mei’ while you’re at it."
