Mad Dog CEO and his beautiful assistant

Zhou? Shen Qin couldn't help but think of Zhou Tianci's disgusting face.

Zhou Tianci, Zhou Liwen, are they brothers?

Thinking of Zhou Enterprises, Shen Qin couldn't help but recall the series of disgusting experiences Zhou Tianci had brought upon him. Zhou Tianci had practically become synonymous with the Zhou family. This company, constantly opposing Cang Yan, specializing in unorthodox methods and employing underhanded tactics, was as disgusting as its owner.

Zhou Liwen is actually Zhou’s...illegitimate son?

There are so many people with the surname Zhou in the world, could there be a mistake?

Shen Qin raised her eyes and saw that Zhou Liwen, who was calm and composed in the face of Cang Yan, now looked pale. His calmness and composure disappeared, and what remained were drooping eyes, trembling lips, and stiff fingers.

Zhou Liwen picked up the coffee cup, but his fingers didn't obey him and the cup fell sideways, causing a disaster. The coffee on the table was emitting a strong aroma, which made things even more embarrassing.

"Yeah, sorry."

Zhou Liwen didn't know what he was apologizing for, whether it was spilling coffee or concealing his identity.

"I, I'm not hiding it on purpose. I just can't say it. Yes, I'm that man's son, a bastard who can't be seen in public!"

Zhou Liwen almost gritted his teeth when he said the last three words. He took a deep breath and buried his face in his hands.

"If possible, I hope you never know. I hope this identity will never be exposed. I hope my last name just happens to be Zhou and I just happen to not have a father, instead of having to hide in a dark corner from birth, unable even to recognize my biological father."

Zhou Liwen wiped his face and said, "Shen Qin, if you look down on me and don't want to see me, I don't blame you. I always want to behave decently in front of you, but even if I wear an expensive suit and put on an elite mask, I still can't get rid of my irresponsible father and my malicious mother.

I have Zhou's blood flowing in my veins. Whether I like it or not, I am the product of their immorality, from top to bottom, every cell of my body."

Zhou Liwen stood up unsteadily, as if all his strength had been drained away. "If you look down on me and find me disgusting, I will disappear from your sight."

Zhou Liwen turned and left without even waiting for Shen Qin to respond.

Cang Yan's mouth curled up, he wanted to laugh, and as a result, he really laughed out loud.

Shen Qin glared at him fiercely, and Cang Yan's silly smile froze on his lips.

Although Shen Qin returned to the villa as usual, she didn't say a word to Cang Yan from the moment she got in the car to the moment she entered the house. Cang Yan's excitement was instantly shattered like a soap bubble. The baby was wronged, the baby was unhappy.

"Say something to me." Cang Yan pulled the corner of Shen Qin's clothes.

"What are you talking about?" Shen Qin slapped away the dishonest hand and gave Cang Yan a cold look. "Are you very proud?"

Cang Yan pouted, "You're being mean to me because of him? It's not like I forced him to be a bastard!"

Shen Qin now felt that these three words were particularly harsh, but Cang Yan added fuel to the fire, "I told you long ago that he is not a good person! But you just wouldn't listen."

Shen Qin threw the dish in her hand into the sink and ripped off her apron. "Is an illegitimate child absolutely equivalent to a bad person? You can condemn his promiscuous father and materialistic mother, but you have no right to frame him.

People can't choose their own origins, no matter how shameful their identity is, it's not something they can choose. No matter how despicable their parents are, you can't just pin that on them.

"Are you defending him like this? He's an illegitimate child to begin with, and I didn't make this up. Whether I say it or not, it's all there."

"Cang Yan, I know you hate him, even despise him. You can openly state your reasons. If you don't want to, you can just ignore him and pretend he doesn't exist. But you shouldn't hurt someone where it hurts the most. It's immoral to expose someone's scars.

I am not defending him, I just don't agree with your point of view. I don't agree that illegitimate children are unforgivable, and I don't agree with your dishonest way of doing things.

You don't have to have any contact with him, and I won't force you, but you shouldn't label others by digging up negative information about them.

How can you judge a person as good or bad based on their birth? I don't necessarily want to associate with him, but forcing him to disappear in this way is very dishonorable, do you understand?"

Cang Yan was shrouded in a cloud of darkness, his face gloomy, but he didn't argue. He stood by his own judgment: Zhou Liwen wasn't a good person. However, from his understanding of Shen Qin, Shen Qin had her own values and opinions, and they were very firm, and others couldn't easily sway them.

He had indeed gone to great lengths to find dirt on Shen Qin. The despicable identity of an illegitimate child delighted him, momentarily overlooking Shen Qin's values. Others might have despised and scorned this identity, bah! But for Shen Qin, it was far less detrimental to him than his own less than honorable methods.

After understanding this, Cang Yan couldn't continue arguing in the wrong direction, which was to rack up negative points in front of Shen Qin. His goal was to force Zhou Liwen away so that he and Shen Qin could live a sweet and happy life together, not to keep teetering on the edge of death.

President Cang is flexible and apologized to Shen Qin with grievance, taking a step back to advance. Shen Qin is soft-hearted and can't bear to see him being wronged, so he understands it very well.

Sure enough, Shen Qin's expression relaxed. She stroked Cang Yan's head, put on an apron and went back to acting virtuous. Cang Yan took the opportunity to hug her and take advantage of her.

Afterwards, Shen Qin received a message from Zhou Liwen. The other party's tone was tentative and probing. Shen Qin guessed that this person just wanted to chat but was embarrassed. After all, his identity was exposed and he was a little embarrassed.

If Shen Qin didn't respond to this news, it would be like stabbing someone in the back. Not only did she have to respond, but she had to be particularly smooth and natural, not exposing someone's shortcomings, not stepping on their tail, and not showing condescending charity and pity.

Shen Qin kept scratching his head. It was the first time he felt that interacting with friends was so difficult. He had to carefully consider every word, trying to make people feel warm and comfortable, and make others feel that what he cared about was not a big deal to him.

There's no need to be sad in secret. It's a disease to belittle yourself. I don't take it to heart at all. You're just worrying about nothing if you're constantly entangled.

Shen Qin used his lifelong literary skills to easily and effectively brush off the other person's embarrassment. Needless to say, the effect was very good, and Zhou Liwen immediately called him.

"Shen Qin, I think you're right." Zhou Liwen's voice was filled with excitement. "You can't choose where you're born, but you have to walk your own path in the future. No matter how others see me, I want to live a good life. I want to be worthy of myself."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Qin rested his head on his arm, thinking he was mentally ill. Even if the child was not born in wedlock, he should have received a share of the property.

After all, he's the son of the Zhou family. Why are you worrying about him? Now, the one who should be worried is not Zhou Liwen, but the dandy young master Zhou Tianci.

Before hanging up the phone, Zhou Liwen said one last thing: "Shen Qin, can we still be friends?"

Actually, Shen Qin hadn't originally considered Zhou Liwen a friend, but after this incident, he felt it was difficult to deliberately distance himself. He couldn't just comfort someone and then say, "The road is wide open, each of us should go our separate ways." Wouldn't that ruin his character? Wasn't that another stab in the back?

So, Shen Qin could only answer: Yes, friends, alas!

Cang Yan never expected that his ultimate attack, instead of knocking out the enemy, would accurately reflect the damage. Because of this incident, the relationship between Shen and Zhou was forced to become closer, and Shen couldn't even say a harsh word.

You can't not answer the phone, you can't not reply to messages, you can't be distant, you can't be cold, and as time goes by, the two of them have more and more topics to talk about, and the conversations become deeper and deeper.

Until one day, Zhou Liwen suddenly said: "Shen Qin, have you ever thought that there is something else behind your family's bankruptcy?"
