Chapter 247

Zuo Hengyi didn't want to send everyone away, but the longer these people stayed at his home, the greater the risk of that matter being exposed.

When Zuo's Father invited several people to stay for lunch, Zuo Hengyi unusually said, "Dad, don't interfere with their New Year visits. Nobody's short of a meal these days."

Zuo's Father was nearly infuriated by his thoughtless son. Inviting guests for meals was basic etiquette, and although no household was lacking food, you couldn't just chase guests away.

Zuo Hengyi's words were blatantly pushing the guests to leave.

Zuo's Father glared at Zuo Hengyi, "Children shouldn't meddle in adult matters."

But Zuo Hengyi was determined to oppose his old man and insisted on interfering.

He wasn't your typical troublemaking rich kid, but once he got stubborn, nobody could change his mind.

At this moment, Zuo Hengyi couldn't even stand the sight of his own father. Everything stemmed from this old man's inability to control his lower half, his preference for young and beautiful women, which left them vulnerable to exploitation.

Zuo's Father was an extremely chauvinistic man. His pursuit of young, beautiful wives was partly due to his lustful nature, and partly because young girls were easier to manipulate and deceive, satisfying his male chauvinism.

After being contradicted twice by his own son, he was losing face, but considering the presence of outsiders, he didn't explode. He planned to settle accounts with this unfilial son after the guests left.

However, what you fear most sometimes comes true. When Ji Chunsheng wasn't pestering Shi Ruan, she mentioned to Shi Li, "You probably don't know yet, but Sister Lanshan is now with Zuo Hanyi. It happened during that period when you were at training camp."

Lu Lanshan and Shi Ruan were the same age and childhood playmates, but later their families fell out. Lu Lanshan went abroad to study while Shi Ruan continued her education in China, and they lost touch.

After their families reconciled, Shi Ruan and Lu Lanshan occasionally went shopping together, rekindling their childhood friendship.

Shi Ruan guessed Shi Li wouldn't know about Lu Lanshan's new relationship, since she was busy with studies at the time, and after she returned home, the family might not have remembered to share this news.

So she kindly provided the backstory.

Zuo's Father was very satisfied with Lu Lanshan as his future daughter-in-law. The Lu family had only one child, meaning all their assets would eventually pass to Lu Lanshan.

After the marriage alliance, everything from both families would belong to his grandson alone.

This was the true meaning of marriage alliance in his mind.

Shi Li's eyes widened – what kind of development was this?

[Although Zuo Hanyi won't murder for money, he just likes stepmothers]

Feng Yunhe: ??? Just???

Zuo Hengyi wanted to cover his face again – she finally said it.

[It's better to make him break up with Sister Lanshan soon, wasting emotions is also a very serious matter]

Zuo Hengyi's heart trembled when he heard this.

Lu Lanshan's previous fiancé who would have plotted against her for money – Shi Li wanted him to break off the engagement, but shortly after, there was no need as the man simply died, and the grass on his grave had already been replaced once.

Although his brother had certain unknown peculiarities and might seize all the family assets, he was still his full-blooded brother, and Zuo Hengyi shared a deep bond with him.

He couldn't bear to watch him die.

Shi Li: Do you think I have some special ability to kill anyone I dislike?!

Shi Quan was discussing company matters with Zuo's Father, Shi Li was lost in thought, and the other three were listening to Shi Li's thoughts.

Shi Ruan was coaxing her clingy boyfriend, while only Liang Rongrong had nothing to do but scroll through her phone, creating an illusion of being busy.

Time passed unknowingly until mealtime.

During Shi Li's reverie, Feng Yunhe successfully caught up on his missing knowledge, learning about the future love-hate relationship between Chou Lu and the Zuo father and son in his class.

Honestly, knowing the cause and effect made things much more interesting.

As for Zuo Hengyi, he was now numb to it all. Since he couldn't stop it, he might as well let it be. As long as Shi Li didn't want his brother's life, he was willing to persuade his brother to break up with the Lu family's daughter quickly.

Small Theater

Years Later

Zuo Hanyi stared at his brother's girlfriend who he brought home, asking in shock: "You made me break up with her, saying our zodiac signs weren't compatible, because you had your eye on her, didn't you!"

Zuo Hengyi smiled innocently: "What a coincidence, who could have imagined this day would come?"
