Chapter 1578
"Before, she sweetly called Zhao Junyao ’Aunt’ to get close to him!"
"Now that she’s succeeded, how could it become complicated?"
Shih Yueshu grew more furious, unable to resist throwing the glass in her hand to the floor.
"That little girl, you think you can marry into the Zhao Family? I want to see if you have the ability!"
"Mom!"
Zhao Junqi came over with a distressed face, disturbed by her outburst.
"Why are you fighting with our cousin again!"
Shih Yueshu was fuming.
"What cousin? They’ve climbed up high and won’t acknowledge us as family!"
Zhao Junqi was impatient.
"Not acknowledging is fine, you really considered them family?"
"Their entire family is indulging in dreams of grandeur and couldn’t care less about us!"
Shih Yueshu glared at her son, furious, tapping him on the head with a lowered voice.
"You’re the one to talk!"
"It’s because of your inefficient handling!"
"What did you tell me before?"
Zhao Junqi was also baffled and suspicious.
"I didn’t say anything wrong!"
"But it’s so strange, everything seemed grave, and the situation looked hopeless!" He even went down to check personally.
There were no cameras in that place, and it was late at night, so he wasn’t afraid of being filmed, nor of being seen.
Yet now, a person who seemed on the verge of death suddenly reappeared before him.
Who could accept this situation?
The worst part is he can only watch without saying anything, making it extremely frustrating.
"Mom! I suspect that person is not Zhao Junyao at all!"
"But dad doesn’t believe it, he doesn’t even doubt it! It’s too careless!"
Shih Yueshu lowered her head at his words.
"Easy for you to say!"
"They look exactly alike, you say it’s not him, then what? Where’s the proof?"
"Not to mention your dad doesn’t believe it, even I don’t!"
If it’s just resemblance, there’s an explanation, but exactly alike? You can’t just say they’re twins.
Anyone could see that, right?
Zhao Junqi anxiously punched the floor.
"What should I do now?"
"If he marries Wanxin and has kids, I’ll be nothing, mom!"
Shih Yueshu was sweating from anxiety.
"No matter what, get through this period first!"
"Your dad is already investigating the car accident, clean up your act first, and don’t leave any trails!"
"Once this hurdle is over, we can plan long-term!"
"Yes!"
"Mom, you’re right!"
Zhao Junqi nodded solemnly in agreement.
"Alright, it’s late at night, get some rest! You’ll need to work tomorrow."
"Yes, good night, mom! I’m leaving now!"
Shih Yueshu personally escorted her son out.
She then turned to instruct the servants to prepare towels and robes, and after washing up, she also went to bed.
...
On the top floor of the Zhao Family Villa, in the Old Master’s room.
Zhao Junyao kneeled silently before the bed.
The Old Master Zhao was uneasy.
"Son, what’s all this about kneeling?"
"Your dad isn’t comfortable with this, get up and talk!"
Zhao Junyao still didn’t get up and remained silent.
From the moment he met the Old Master, he felt he belonged to this family.
Because he looked almost identical to his late father.
Unexpectedly, the deceased father was alive in this world.
Although his health wasn’t great, he was still alive.
The feeling of losing and regaining someone after such separation, probably no one could understand.
His heart was flooded with emotions.
He didn’t want to say anything now, nor did he want to go anywhere, just wanted to kneel beside his father and fulfill his duty.
Even if the man before him was no longer the original father.
...
Ten o’clock, eleven, the night grew deeper, Zhao Junyao still had no intention of getting up.
The Old Master Zhao could no longer tolerate it, finally called the Butler, asking him to help Zhao Junyao up.
"Child!"
"I know you’ve suffered outside and I can see how much thinner you’ve gotten!"
"Dad feels sad! Please don’t worry him anymore, alright?"
"Go rest quickly!"
Listening to the ’father’s’ earnest words, Zhao Junyao felt a sting in his heart, his eyes turning slightly red.
"Alright!"
"Father... Dad! I’ll listen to you!"
"I’ll go rest now!"
The rules now are indeed different from before.
In the past, filial piety involved sleepless nights and constant attention to the sick bed, handling everything personally to be considered dutiful.
Here, kneeling is actually considered unfilial?
Alright, he’ll leave, can’t let father continue to worry!
Quickly following the Butler, he went to his room.
"Young Master, here it is!"
"Aunt Wu has prepared everything here, just call her if you need anything!"
"I know!"
Zhao Junyao looked around the unfamiliar place, nodded thoughtfully.
The Butler soon left.
Zhao Junyao couldn’t help but inspect the room.
The decor and setup were completely different from before, yet equally luxurious.
There were many strange items in the room, but finding nothing interesting, he washed up and lay on the bed to sleep.
Washing up was something Xia Ruqing taught him long ago.
Holding the toothbrush, he suddenly thought of her.
’No idea what that bossy woman is doing now?’
’He found out, the Zhao Family will grant her a reward!’
’With this wealth, her life shouldn’t be too difficult, right?’
But...
Touching the soft, luxurious bed, then thinking of her room’s hard, old bed.
Why did he feel a sense of pity?
"???"
Pfft, hasn’t that woman exploited him enough?
Made him wake before dawn, return by nightfall, working like a farmer, utterly unreasonable.
After pondering, Zhao Junyao decided to leave Xia Ruqing behind.
’Just a stranger, not worth mentioning!’
’He already had a fiancée, Shih Wanxin, which he found comforting!’
Seems some romances are destined across lifetimes!
Wanxin was his love in the past life.
Raised nobly, inherently proud, though a bit explosive, she spoke her mind directly.
This vivacious personality pleased him greatly.
Unexpectedly, she would still become his wife here.
Isn’t this predetermined fate across lifetimes? Fate is astonishingly arranged.
With this thought, he pleasantly drifted into sleep, a night of good rest.
...
Next morning.
Shih Wanxin arrived early.
Not only was she present, but she also brought many gifts, flowers, and cakes.
