"Brother, if you’re not going to help me, fine, but why speak about my mom like that?" Zhou Xinxin stood up angrily and said, "I knew you always hated us."
"Zhou Xinxin, which ear of yours heard my brother talk about your mom?" Zhou Yutong stood up and laughed mockingly, "Or do you think your mom is the type to interfere in someone else’s marriage?"
This ’someone else’ isn’t really someone else, isn’t it just their dad?
"My mom definitely isn’t." Zhou Xinxin glared at Zhou Yutong and said, "Stop talking nonsense."
"Heh heh..." Zhou Yutong shook her head and laughed, "Yeah, she didn’t. Right, Brother?"
If she hadn’t been with him when their mom was still ill, how did her brother come about? Did he jump out of a rock?
Zhou Yutong had never called Zhou Ziran ’Brother’ before; she felt it was an insult to her brother and deceased mother. But after her brother suffered a loss, she realized, compared to shameless White Lotus flowers, you must be even more shameless.
This was the first time Zhou Yutong called Zhou Ziran ’Brother’ in front of so many people, and everyone was stunned.
Zhou Xinxin and Zhou Ziran naturally thought of this too, their faces flushing red.
"Don’t mind the joke." Once there were only a few of them left, Zhou Yutao smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "This is the card for the horse farm. Feel free to come and play whenever you like."
"Little sister-in-law, can I visit you?" Zhou Yutong’s eyes were fixed on the card in Gu Lingling’s hand and said, "Brother Hai isn’t here, I can take you to the horse farm."
"Sure." Gu Lingling smiled and nodded.
"We’re leaving first." Yang Yunhai patted Zhou Yutao on the shoulder, "Call me anytime if you need anything in the future."
What was supposed to be a nice gathering ended in awkward separation.
Li Xiang wanted to say something, but seeing Zhou Yutao’s expression, held back.
"Brother." Zhou Yutong stood beside him, looking at the backs of Gu Lingling and Yang Yunhai, "I really like that girl."
"Then stay in touch with her more often." Zhou Yutao softly said to his sister, "Rest assured, brother is back now, and no one can bully you."
Meanwhile, over at Gu Lingling’s side, Yang Yunhai was explaining the relationship between these two pairs of siblings.
Zhou Yutao and Zhou Yutong’s names make it obvious they’re siblings, while they and Zhou Ziran’s siblings are half-siblings on their father’s side.
It was Zhou Ziran’s mother who took advantage of Zhou Yutao’s mother being bedridden and rose to her position.
However, Zhou Yutao’s mother has passed away many years ago, and because of that person’s status, this matter has been selectively forgotten by everyone.
Thankfully, although they had a stepmother, she wasn’t a stepfather and was quite good to Zhou Yutao and his sibling, even wanting to nurture Zhou Yutao.
But unexpectedly, things took a major turn a few years ago, causing Zhou Yutao not to return to the Capital City for several years until recently.
Later, during their investigation, they found traces of Zhou Ziran’s mother Bai Dan in this matter.
"That year, she intended to send Brother to the Kyoto Military District." Yang Yunhai smiled mockingly at the corner of his mouth.
Going to the Kyoto Military District meant starting to cultivate Zhou Yutao’s own loyal faction.
Military power, what does it mean here? Even a fool could understand.
So, Bai Dan couldn’t hold back.
