C400 This time is different from the past

That's right, this middle-aged man was Zhou Hao's biological father, Zhou Liren. In reality, since his rebirth, Zhou Hao had not seen Zhou Liren once.

Furthermore, in her previous life, Yan Tong had not seen him for many years after her death due to liver cancer.

Zhou Liren was wearing an old brown colored shirt, a pair of ordinary black pants, and a pair of old shoes with yellow mud on it.

Even though it had been ten years since he had last seen Zhou Liren, his appearance did not change much, so Zhou Hao recognized him at a glance.

On the other hand, Zhou Hao had undergone a drastic change within this year, greatly different from when he had just reincarnated.

Therefore, when Zhou Liren was dragged out of the room by the two muscular men, he had only glanced at Zhou Hao briefly, and actually did not recognize that he was his son.

After the two hulks carried Zhou Liren out, they threw him fiercely outside the door. One of them cursed fiercely: "Fuck you, you don't have money, yet you dare to come and gamble with us? Do you know how the word 'death' is written!? "

"You dog eyes look down on people!" Zhou Liren sat on the ground and spat to the side, he glared at the two robust men and said, "Wait till I become rich, I will see if I will seek revenge!"

"Aiya, why are you still being so stubborn!" The sturdy man on the left cursed, raised his leg and kicked Zhou Liren a few times.

Zhou Liren fell to the ground, bent down to protect himself and screamed "Aiyah" miserably.

Zhou Hao frowned, and said to the two robust men: "Alright, stop."

The sturdy man who was kicking Zhou Liren glared at Zhou Hao, "Who the hell are you, don't meddle in other people's business!"

The other person looked at Zhou Hao suspiciously, then his expression changed and he quickly pulled away the brawny man who was still beating Zhou Liren. At the same time, he smiled and greeted Zhou Hao, "Mr Zhou, I'm sorry. Chief Wen has already been waiting for you inside for a long time. How about we take you in? "

The brawny man who beat Zhou Liren up was working for him just now, so he did not know who Zhou Hao was. However, when he heard that Zhou Hao was Wen Xiangdong's guest, he immediately apologized.

However, Zhou Hao did not enter the "Mobility City". Instead, he walked expressionlessly to the side of Zhou Liren, who was still bowing and protecting his head.

Looking at this impoverished gambler who was curled up on the ground like a shrimp, Zhou Hao did not know what to feel.

To be honest, Zhou Hao didn't have much of a fatherly and paternal relationship with Zhou Liren, because ever since Zhou Hao was born, he had on average never seen him more than a few times a year.

And every time Zhou Liren returned home, it was for one thing only. That was, to extend his hand to take the money from Yan Tong, just like when he was reborn, Zhou Liren would forcefully take away his school fees for the school year.

And as long as Yan Tong did not obey, Zhou Liren would speak ill of him and even fight with him. So in Zhou Hao's heart, his impression of this so-called father was extremely bad.

According to what Zhou Hao knew, Zhou Liren usually did odd jobs at the construction site to earn a living, so he often wandered around the cities to earn his living. Furthermore, he was addicted to gambling, and even contributed his salary to the gambling house, so it was fine if he didn't ask for money from his family, let alone counting on him to support his family.

If it was possible, Zhou Hao would rather not see him again for the rest of his life, and just pretend that he had no father.

But seeing that he was beaten up and looked to be in dire straits, Zhou Hao could not remain indifferent.

After the sturdy man stopped beating Zhou Liren, Zhou Liren slowly loosened his hand that was protecting his head and looked outside. He saw Zhou Hao standing beside him, looking down at him from above.

Zhou Hao looked at him, and said indifferently: "Do you still recognize me?"

Suspicion appeared in Zhou Liren's eyes, looking at him, he also felt that Zhou Hao was extremely familiar.

"I really didn't expect that you wouldn't even recognize me." Zhou Hao squatted down, and looked at Zhou Liren with a gaze that carried some pity, resentment and even some disdain, "You came to gamble again? You should have already lost all my tuition money. "

"Tuition fee?" You... "You are …" Zhou Liren opened his eyes wide, "You are … Zhou Hao!? "

Zhou Hao smiled slightly, "I really didn't expect that we would meet under such circumstances. If I didn't see you here today, I would have forgotten about having a father like you."

Hearing Zhou Hao's words, the two robust men beside him shivered. Because never in their dreams would they have thought that this impoverished middle-aged man would actually be Zhou Hao's father.

Looking at Zhou Hao, Zhou Hao was handsome and straight, the clothes on his body were also not ordinary, making it impossible for people to connect him to Zhou Liren.

Zhou Liren stared blankly at Zhou Hao, as if this was his first time looking at his son.

Zhou Hao reached out to help him up, and patted off the dirt on his body. Then, he said to the two muscular men: "I won't be going over to Big Brother Wen's place today, help me tell him that I have something on my mind, and that I'll gather with him another day."

"Mr Zhou, what happened just now. Right, I'm sorry." The muscular man who had just beaten Zhou Liren immediately apologized to him.

Zhou Hao waved his hands and did not pursue the matter any further. Then, he brought Zhou Liren to the side of the road to intercept a taxi.

After getting on the car, the two sat in the back seat, Zhou Liren's gaze was fixated on Zhou Hao, but Zhou Hao did not look at him, but instead looked outside the window at the scenery of the streets.

"When did you return to Xiang City?" After a long while, Zhou Hao finally spoke, but still did not look at Zhou Liren.

He didn't know why, but in front of his own son, Zhou Liren felt a little uneasy, as if the person sitting next to him wasn't his son, but the boss. He mumbled to himself before saying, "It was a day ago. A day ago, I came back."

Zhou Hao looked out of the window, "I don't think you went to visit."

Zhou Liren nodded, and then said: "You probably don't know, Mom and I have already moved, and we don't live in the same place anymore."

"Moved?" Zhou Liren was startled, where did you move to?

"What does it matter where you move to? Do you still care about your family?" Zhou Hao finally gave him a glance.

Zhou Liren was stunned, he did not know what to say, because he also knew how far away he was from that "home".

Zhou Hao told the taxi to go to Lakeview Manor, and called Yan Tong to tell her to go home.

Zhou Liren alighted from the car and walked to the front door of the Lakeview Manor. Looking at this noble residential area, Zhou Liren's face was filled with suspicion.

Looking at Zhou Hao who was leading the way, he thought in his heart, Could it be that Zhou Hao and Yan Tong, mother and son, have moved here?

When he followed Zhou Hao to the top floor and entered the house, he saw that it was a luxurious house, and stood at the entrance with his mouth agape.

Zhou Hao turned and said to him, "Come in."

Zhou Liren regained his senses and walked into the hall and sat on the sofa. Perhaps it was his first time entering such a mansion, but he felt uncomfortable sitting on the sofa.

Zhou Hao poured a cup of hot water and passed it to him, "Have some tea."

Then, Zhou Hao sat on the other sofa and turned on the TV without even looking at Zhou Liren.

Zhou Liren also did not take the initiative to speak, he looked around at the decorations and furnishings in the room with a little curiosity and nervousness. His gaze also wandered around Zhou Hao from time to time, as if trying to guess why Zhou Hao and Yan Tong had moved into this kind of mansion.

Fifteen minutes later, Yan Tong returned. When he opened the door, he saw Zhou Hao seated facing him, "Why did you suddenly call me back? You didn't even say what it was about. The company is very busy."

When she walked into the hall, she saw Zhou Liren seated there, and was immediately stunned.

Compared to Zhou Hao, when Yan Tong saw Zhou Liren, the shock in her heart was much stronger. After all, although they had gathered together quite a bit, she and Zhou Liren had always been husband and wife for nearly twenty years. She looked at Zhou Liren in a daze, "You … "You …"

Zhou Hao said to Yan Tong calmly: "He's back. I saw him outside just now."

Zhou Liren also looked at Yan Tong in surprise, because just like Zhou Hao, Yan Tong had also changed greatly.

When Zhou Liren had left last time, he was still an environmental worker and had to wash dishes at night at a roadside stall. He was completely a poor woman who had been tormented by life and was much older than her actual age.

And in this past year, Yan Tong's standard of living had increased in a straight line, and it was unknown how much better he had become than before. Furthermore, with the nourishing medicine Zhou Hao had concocted according to "Shen Nong's Herbal Classic", his body was able to quickly recover.

The current Yan Tong lived a very fulfilling life with Lu Shiping and Yan Qing who presided over Tongguang and Diet Co., Ltd.

This kind of enrichment was different from being an environmental worker in the past. Environmental workers were simply tired, but managing Tongguang and diet limited companies allowed her to learn a lot. She was no longer a normal housewife, but instead a decisive and capable female entrepreneur.

Yan Tong was an extremely beautiful woman to begin with. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been taken fancy by Zhou Liren back then.

Now that she had recovered and eaten the nourishing medicine concocted by Zhou Hao, Yan Tong had completely recovered her former glory. Now, she did not look like a middle-aged woman who had a seventeen year old son at all, but more like a beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties.

Therefore, it was no wonder that Zhou Liren would be this shocked when he saw Yan Tong. He didn't even dare to admit that this beautiful woman who wore a job suit was his wife.
