The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

Chapter 70 I'm Going to Pick Up My Brother from School

Zhou Yanhuan gazed at them quietly, giving them ample time to fully understand and absorb what had just been discussed. After a few minutes, seeing that everyone seemed to have grasped the point, she stopped exploring the topic further.

Suddenly, she changed her tone and attitude, and solemnly said to Zhou Jiaze, "Brother Maxwell, I plan to return to Yuzhou Kingdom tomorrow. As for the Xie family and the Zhou family here, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble the three of you to take care of them! During this time, I'll have to trouble you to put in a lot of effort."

Upon hearing Zhou Yanhuan's words, Zhou Jiaze turned around, looking at her with suspicion. In his memory, Zhou Yanhuan had always been the kind of person who saw things through to the end and never gave up halfway.

Now that she's actually leaving halfway through her work, something far more urgent and important must have happened, forcing her to make this choice.

Fortunately for Zhou Yanhuan, with Zhou Jiaze helping to keep an eye on the situation in the capital, there weren't actually too many major problems that were difficult to handle. After all, with Zhou Jiaze's abilities and experience, he should be able to handle these matters with ease.

However, at that very moment, Zhou Yanhuan unexpectedly announced his impending return to Yuzhou Kingdom. This sudden decision greatly surprised him, and a strange sense of unease welled up within him, as if he foresaw some unforeseen event. This feeling grew stronger, filling him with worry and anxiety about Zhou Yanhuan's journey.

Zhou Jiaze was always straightforward and frank. Facing Zhou Yanhuan's somewhat questioning gaze, he asked without hesitation, "Zhenzhen, why do you suddenly want to return to Yuzhou Kingdom? Could it be that you've encountered some troublesome matter?"

A fleeting, almost imperceptible worry crossed Zhou Yanhuan's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. She said resolutely, "My brother is currently in Yuzhou. I must go there and bring him to my side. This matter is extremely urgent!"

Despite Zhou Yanhuan's efforts to conceal her inner emotional turmoil, the complex emotions revealed in her eyes ultimately failed to escape Zhou Jiaze's keen eyes.

Originally, Zhou Jiaze intended to ask Zhou Yanhuan a few more questions, but before he could finish speaking, Zhou Jiayu, who was standing to the side, interrupted him first.

Zhou Jiayu frowned, looking at Zhou Yanhuan with a look of exasperation, his voice rising involuntarily: "What danger could there be within the territory of Yuzhou Kingdom? Did you really have to pick him up at this critical moment? What could possibly happen to him in his own country? That's our territory! What risks could there be?"

Zhou Yanhuan bit her lip tightly, trying hard not to let her tears fall, but when she heard Zhou Jiayu's nonchalant and indifferent tone, her eyes instantly reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She abruptly raised her head, staring directly at Zhou Jiayu, her words filled with sarcasm and resentment: "As His Highness Simon of Yuzhou, you naturally believe that being in Yuzhou is a foolproof safe haven. After all, from the moment you were born, you have been showered with love and affection, never experiencing the slightest despair or helplessness. Perhaps because you haven't witnessed the suffering he has endured, even with your blood ties, you probably can't feel much pity for him, which is why you can utter such cold and heartless words."

However, only I knew that he desperately needed my company and support at that moment.

Therefore, no matter what hardships and obstacles await me, I must go without hesitation to welcome him back. But now, all I want is to bring my brother, who needs my company, to my side, and why are you interfering? What right do you have to interfere with my decision? Is it simply because of your so-called status? But you certainly don't know that my brother will always be my first choice." At this point, Zhou Yanhuan could no longer suppress her grief and indignation, and tears welled up in her eyes, slowly streaming down her cheeks.

Zhou Yanhuan was extremely agitated, like a volcanic eruption, leaving Zhou Jiayu speechless. Her angry eyes seemed to spew flames, making the surrounding air feel hot and tense.

"Stop! Zhenzhen, you can't just poke Simon in the back like that. Have you forgotten? You are also a noble princess of Yuzhou Kingdom. We can talk things out calmly and rationally." Zhou Jiaze quickly intervened.

Just as Zhou Jiayu was about to speak, Zhou Yanhuan's eyes instantly turned red. He glared at Zhou Jiayu fiercely, then turned his head away, trying to calm Zhou Yanhuan's agitated emotions.

“Brother Maxwell, he clearly provoked me first! And you still say I’m wrong? He never considers things from other people’s perspectives, nor does he care about other people’s feelings. He always acts so high and mighty! Hmph, yes, he is indeed a prince high and mighty, and I am a princess. But what am I, a princess, compared to him, who is born noble? I’m just a halfway through my journey!” Zhou Yanhuan became more and more angry as she spoke, her voice unconsciously rising several decibels. Her chest heaved violently, clearly she was furious.

Zhou Yanhuan retorted without hesitation, "What right does Zhou Jiayu have to restrict my freedom of movement? What right does he have to question my whereabouts and interfere with my plans? The reason I told you this is because I believe I should give you the respect you deserve. But what about him? Has he ever respected my choices? He didn't even ask me a question. If you were being questioned by him like this, would you feel comfortable? I've already been in a terrible mood lately!"

After listening to Zhou Yanhuan's words, Zhou Jiaze also felt that what Zhou Yanhuan said was very reasonable.

His sharp, knife-like gaze fell directly on Zhou Jiayu, and he said in an unquestionable, authoritative tone, "Zhou Jiayu, apologize to your sister immediately! How have I always taught you? And how have your uncle and aunt taught you? Has anyone ever told you to learn to respect others? In my opinion, you've probably gotten a bit too arrogant in China all these years!"

At this moment, Zhou Jiayu already felt remorseful after saying those words. He stared at Zhou Yanhuan tremblingly and said softly, "Zhenzhen, I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have spoken to you like that."

Zhou Yanhuan's face was full of resistance and reluctance. She waved her hands repeatedly and said firmly, "Please don't do that! I'm not familiar with that unapproachable and incomparably noble Prince Simon at all! Also, from now on, Your Highness Simon, you can just call me Miss Zhou. Please don't call me so intimately anymore."

Upon hearing Zhou Yanhuan's words, Zhou Jiayu deflated like a punctured balloon, instantly becoming listless. He drooped his head, looking dejected, and silently lowered his head without saying a word.

When Zhou Jiaze saw Zhou Jiayu in this state, he did not go forward to comfort or persuade him.

On the contrary, he believed that Zhou Jiayu really needed to calm down and seriously reflect on his behavior. Therefore, Zhou Jiaze only glanced at Zhou Jiayu briefly and then stopped paying attention to him.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jiaze turned his gaze back to Zhou Yanhuan, and with a smile, asked softly, "Zhenzhen, can you tell your brother why you insist on bringing your brother back from the distant Yuzhou Kingdom to your side immediately? Is there some potential risk or crisis involved?" His eyes revealed concern and curiosity, as if he was eager to find out the reason.

Zhou Yanhuan sighed softly, a bitter smile appearing on her face. She spoke candidly to Zhou Jiaze, "Well, Maxwell, I wonder if you believe in reincarnation? And the telepathic connection between twins... When I saw your reply to my post online, I was indeed filled with joy. However, at the same time, an indescribable strange feeling welled up inside me, as if I were tightly bound by an invisible force, making me feel very uncomfortable. But at the time, I didn't pay much attention to this feeling, choosing to ignore it and go to sleep."

She frowned slightly and continued, "But I never expected that this sleep would last so long. Actually, it's not that I didn't want to wake up, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't escape the entanglement of the dream. In the dream, I clearly witnessed everything my brother experienced in his previous life—he unfortunately contracted an extremely rare blood disease at the age of eighteen, and the doctor predicted that he would only live for five more years at most. And now, I am twenty-two years old, and he is in the same situation. That is to say, my brother only has one year left! Fortunately, I have the ability to cure this disease, but we must race against time, and every minute and every second is crucial. Therefore, at this moment, I have no choice but to rush back to Yuzhou Kingdom immediately and bring him back to China, only then will there be a glimmer of hope."

Upon hearing this, Xu Linfeng bluntly asked, "Are you really going to travel all the way back to Yuzhou Kingdom just because of a dream? Are you absolutely certain that this dream is real?"

Zhou Yanhuan smiled sadly and said, "How could I not hope that this dream is true? However, there is a precedent. I once dreamed that I had an older brother, and I searched for him for many years. As you all know, I really found my brother. I don't want to believe it's true, but if he really is sick, then I can only start a thrilling race against time and death."

After hearing Zhou Yanhuan's words, Xu Linfeng turned to look at the dejected Zhou Jiayu and said in a deep voice, "Prince Simon, you should not interfere with her brother's affairs anymore. Miss Zhou may be tolerant of you in other matters, but when it comes to her brother, even if the King of Heaven himself came, it would be of no use. This is what I have observed."

Zhou Jiaze couldn't help but smile upon hearing this. Yes, their Zhenzhen was indeed so affectionate and loyal.

Zhou Jiayu lowered his head even further, as if a thousand-pound burden was pressing down on him.
