After being reborn, the aloof female CEO became a paranoid.

When Zhou Yu returned home, he saw his father standing at the door of his room as soon as he went upstairs.

He awkwardly withdrew his hand, which he had raised halfway to knock on the door, and turned to look at Zhou Yu.

"Dad, did you need something from me?"

To be honest, since his rebirth, he genuinely didn't want to say a single word to Zhou Zhengwen.

Zhou Zhengwen nodded. "Regarding your wish to postpone the wedding, I spoke with President Xu, and she agreed. She said we can wait until you graduate from university, get engaged, and then hold the wedding after you return from studying abroad."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu didn't react for a moment. After a brief pause, he nodded in agreement.

"However, you mustn't cause any trouble during this time. The Zhou family needs the support of the Xu Group right now."

Zhou Zhengwen's words were full of expectations for Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu stared silently at Zhou Zhengwen, a bitter smile creeping onto his face. In this father's eyes, nothing seemed to matter except for profit; even kinship was insignificant.

Recalling his past life, he was unjustly imprisoned, and he had hoped that his family could help him out.

But what happened? This father never visited him even once, let alone found him a lawyer. In the end, to sever ties with him, he even went so far as to disown him.

At that moment, Zhou Yu's heart turned completely cold, and he even doubted whether he was the Zhou family's biological son.

Now, when Zhou Zhengwen proposed that he get engaged before going abroad to study, Zhou Yu sneered inwardly.

He knew that once he left, he would completely sever the last connection with this family, and Zhou Zhengwen would never let him go easily.

So he slowly opened his mouth, his tone laced with a hint of provocation: "Why does it have to be me? Wouldn't Zhou Ze be more suitable?"

The air seemed to freeze upon hearing this.

Zhou Zhengwen's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said slowly, "You are the older brother, Zhou Ze is still young, and besides, President Xu treats you differently."

Different?

Zhou Yu was unconvinced, and even felt a sense of unease and fear.

He could never forget the past. In the dead of night, the excruciating pain constantly reminded him to stay away from that devilish woman.

After seeing Zhou Zhengwen off, Zhou Yu collapsed wearily onto the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

In this home filled with calculation and indifference, pursuing dreams and happiness seems like a luxurious fantasy.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Big brother, may I come in?"

Zhou Yu frowned, but still managed to sit up and open the door.

"Is something wrong?"

"Big brother, I'm here to apologize to you. I was wrong that night. Please be magnanimous and have some milk to calm down."

Zhou Ze stood outside the door with an apologetic look on his face, holding a cup of hot milk in his hand, his smile tinged with a hint of caution.

Zhou Yu glanced at him, took the milk, took a small sip, and thought that this matter was over.

However, Zhou Ze did not give up. He put his arm around Zhou Yu's shoulder and said with a fawning expression, "Big brother, to be honest, you'll soon become the Xu family's son-in-law. I'm so envious of you!"

Zhou Yu's lips curled into a smile, but a cold laugh rose in his heart.

Xu family son-in-law?

In his past life, he was overwhelmed by this identity and ended up with a tragic end.

In this lifetime, he vowed to rewrite his destiny, and Zhou Ze might be the key to breaking his deadlock.

"Come on, I'm not interested in that Ms. Xu at all. She probably doesn't know much about me either." Zhou Yu patted Zhou Ze on the shoulder, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

"If you really like her, go for it. Let me tell you, Xu Xinran might like someone like you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ze's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Based on Xu Xinran's recent behavior towards Zhou Yu, her feelings for him are definitely not simple. So why is Zhou Yu now pushing her away?

"Big brother, you're not joking, are you? Xu Xinran, she..." Zhou Ze started to say, but then swallowed his words, feeling uneasy.

Zhou Yu didn't respond, but he felt very uncomfortable.

Thinking back to my marriage with Xu Xinran in my past life, it was a complete joke.

On the surface, Xu Xinran is his wife, but behind the scenes, she is often entangled with Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze often tried every means to gain Xu Xinran's sympathy, and Xu Xinran actually abandoned him and stayed by his side day and night.

"Don't look at me, you have to figure this out yourself." Zhou Yu shook his head, his tone laced with sarcasm.

"Anyway, I don't believe Xu Xinran would genuinely like me. If you have the ability, go ahead and try."

After saying that, Zhou Yu went into the house without looking back, leaving Zhou Ze outside the door. Zhou Ze went back to his own room with a complicated expression.

Zhou Yu didn't care what Zhou Ze thought. Watching his departing figure, he let out a long sigh and thought to himself: This person is finally gone.

After entering the room, he slammed the door shut, went straight to the computer, and began typing game code on the keyboard.

Although his path to further studies abroad is temporarily blocked, he doesn't want to just drift through life like this.

Opportunity always favors the prepared. No one can say they've lost until the very last moment.

Zhou Yu was completely absorbed in the design, and time seemed to stand still.

When he came to his senses, the darkness outside the window had quietly turned into the pale light of dawn, and the first rays of sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains onto his face. A refreshing breeze stirred the sheer curtains of the French windows, letting in the warm sunlight.

He rubbed his eyes and looked at the screen full of code. Although it wasn't perfect, he had at least regained some of the feeling he used to have.

The frustration I felt vanished instantly.

Zhou Yu's eyes shone with an unprecedented determination; he was determined to make up for all the regrets of his past life in this one.

He secretly vowed to design a game that would amaze the world, and never again give up his promising future for any woman.
