Chapter 10023 Old Scheming Family Hole Cards
Zhou Lan's request made Xia Ruisi immediately embarrassed.
If Smith. Zhou is a nuisance, so it's really nothing to do to him. But he wasn't annoying, and he was his brother's biological father. As a junior, she really couldn't do what her mother demanded. So she could just stand there and face Smith. Zhou showed an embarrassed smile.
For such a dilemma junior, Smith. Zhou naturally didn't mean anything to make it difficult for her. At that moment, he showed an understanding smile to Xia Ruisi, and then said to Zhou Lan.
"Ah Lan. Is it necessary to denigrate me to such an extent? ”
"Absolutely. Smith. Zhou, you are definitely uneasy and kind. I warn you, you don't even think about snatching my son away from me. ”
What Zhou Lan is most afraid of now is that Zhou Yi's father, who suddenly appeared, snatched his son away from him. Although she didn't believe that her son would leave her like this, it was like a thief by her side, and it was impossible for you to put your mind at ease.
Regarding the problem that Zhou Lan was worried about, Xia Ruisi felt a little unreasonable. But for Smith, who does have some special intentions. Zhou said, her worry is not so reasonable. He came here this time in the hope of getting an identity, an identity that would allow him and his son to reconcile and recognize. It is best that this identity can be obtained from Zhou Lan. If not, then it's not too much of a problem.
The key to this problem is still in Zhou Yi's attitude. Zhou Lan's attitude is just a shortcut, and it is always Zhou Yi's choice that really determines all this. And what kind of choice will he make? This answer started at Smith. Zhou's eyes are actually not optimistic.
From the very beginning, that is, when he had private contact with Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi's attitude was already very clear. He did not welcome the father's return, and even warned him to stay away from his family.
For Smith. Zhou, this is naturally impossible. Not to mention that Zhou Yi is his son, and he has already added a grandson to him. It is the power that Zhou Yi has, which is an extremely important part of his plan. He didn't expect Zhou Yi to support him and join his plan. But at the very least, he also wants Zhou Yi to maintain a basic neutrality, and he will not casually mix in places where he shouldn't be involved because of the requirements of his fox friends.
He had to put a chain on Zhou Yi and draw a forbidden area for him. And over the years, with the study of his son's behavior, he has seen his weakness clearly, and according to this weakness, he has found the most suitable shackle.
Family affection, this is the shackle that he conceived for his son's character that can play the most effective role.
For his own son, Smith. Zhou Bu said that he knew everything about it, but he was also able to roughly know it. In his view, his son was full of a woman's kindness. For the sake of the group of women and children around him, he can even leave everything behind and stand on the opposite side of the whole world.
He obviously has the power to control the whole world, and make the whole world fear and surrender because of the power he has, but just because he indulges in this gentle country, he just gives up everything. This is simply unattainable.
But it also gave him an opportunity. Because if this is not the case, if his plan is to be realized, I am afraid it will become far away.
And what he has to do now is to let himself be accepted by Zhou Yi and become an important relative by his side who can be recognized and valued by him. Not to mention the mother who gave birth to him and raised him, at least an inseparable father. He believes that as long as his paternity can be recognized by Zhou Yi, then even in the future, if he makes his identity clear and meets the entire human race, Zhou Yi will not stand on the opposite side of him.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Zhou Yi wants to accept him.
After researching his son's family background, Smith. Zhou drew three lines of defense for himself. The first is Zhou Lan, the woman who was abandoned by herself, but gave birth to Zhou Yi's son. He had wanted to use the relationship between them and the lies he had made up to reframe his relationship with this woman, but now it seems that things are not going as smoothly as he thought.
And the second is Zhou Yi's wife and children. At this point, he already has a subtle advantage.
brought the unconscious Zhou Yi back to this home safely, and he was already thanked by Zhou Yi's women. And when his identity was revealed, this gratitude naturally rose to a kind of goodwill and intimacy with his family. Although it is said that the piano who is most feared by him still has a certain hesitation. But that's not the problem, he believes. These are all things that can be fixed as long as he is given enough time.
Then the only thing left is the third line of defense. This line of defense is Zhou Yi's sister.
Although it is said that it is a younger sister, but Charis and Smith. Zhou itself is not related by any blood. She is the child of Zhou Lan and another man, so to speak, if it is necessary, Smith. Zhou himself was not very willing to accept such a special existence. However, her presence is necessary.
Because in his investigation, the main reason why Zhou Yi was on the side of the mutants at the beginning and did not hesitate to be the enemy of the entire human race was his sister. He loved this sister very much, even more than he doted on his own children. And this makes this girl's attitude have the ability to change Zhou Yi's point of view. If she is willing to admit her existence, then it is not impossible to counteract the hostility from Zhou Lan, or even go further.
So now, Smith. Zhou showed a look of crying and laughing, avoiding Zhou Lan's warning gaze at him. Then he looked at Xia Ruisi and said softly to her.
"Don't listen to your mother's nonsense, I don't look like some wealthy villain who snatched custody of my son. Besides, your brother is so old that he has already had his own opinions, and even if I wanted to, I couldn't snatch him away. ”
Xia Ruisi agrees with his statement very much. Even said that this is the reason why she feels that her mother is making trouble. My brother's children are all people who can make soy sauce on the run, where can they be as powerful as she said, and they were casually snatched away by such a father who didn't know where to come from.
It's just that after all, it's her mother, and she doesn't dare to say this kind of demolition. So she could only curl the corners of her mouth slightly at this time, and then face Smith. Zhou blinked.
For Smith. Zhou, this is a sign of intimacy and friendliness. So he immediately struck while the iron was hot.
"When you think about it, this should be our first meeting. As an elder, I should have brought you a welcome gift for this kind of first meeting. It's just that I was in too much of a hurry beforehand, and I didn't have any preparation. Well, I have a small island in the Maldives that is in my private name, and I also have a yacht that has been in the sea for less than two years. I'll give it to you as a greeting gift. ”
This kind of open-mouthed approach to the island yacht is really a bit too exaggerated. You know, even if you have a yacht, such as a private island, especially in the Maldives, it is no longer something that the average rich person can get. Without a certain amount of power and status, one is not qualified to seek these things. And if Smith. What Zhou said is true, then what he has is really not small.
However, this kind of thing can only make Xia Ruisi feel slightly surprised at most. If you want to say shocking, it's not so much. After all, his brother's identity was there, and it wouldn't be much of a problem for their family to get these things. It's just that she has to admit that her brother's father is too generous.
If it's an ordinary gift, just accept it. But such a valuable thing, even with her usual big grin, knows that these are not things that can be accepted casually. And just when she was about to subconsciously refuse, her mother took a hit.
"Smith, what do you mean by that?"
"It's not interesting. I just want Charis to know that I'm not as dangerous as I told you. Ah Lan, I'll tell you straight. ”
Speaking of which, Smith. Zhou's face finally showed a positive color.
"We've been apart for thirty years. You also had a new family at one point, and I found my other half. So I don't expect anything to change back to the way we were. But there is one thing, Zhou Yi is my son, and this is something you can't change. I don't want to snatch him away from you, but let him know that I'm his father. Is it wrong to have him admit my existence? ”
This question is, of course, true. Although Zhou Lan was reluctant to admit it, Smith. Zhou is right. No matter what you say, he is Zhou Yi's father. They are two people who are naturally linked by blood, two beings who cannot be divided in any way. So, Smith. Zhou's request, she had no reason to refuse at all. even said that when he asked for this, Zhou Lan felt a little pity in his heart.
He hadn't seen his children in thirty years. If it was according to him, he gave up the opportunity to see them for the safety of himself and his children. After all, he is already nearly fifty years old, just like himself. At this age, isn't it too bleak to not even have someone to call your father?
She thought so, but her heart was slowly loosening.
