The fierce glint in his mother's eyes sent a shiver down Shen Tianling's spine.

Despite his doubts, he obediently followed his mother's instructions and dialed Zhou Ze's number.

Not long after, Zhou Ze rushed to the villa.

He had barely sat down when he roared angrily, "Auntie, that bastard Zhou Yu stole the woman I had my eye on! What am I going to do? I've lost everything!"

Zhou Yuzhen put on a kind and gentle expression, took Zhou Ze's hand, and comforted him:

“Xiao Ze, your aunt knows you’re suffering. But your aunt believes that with your looks and qualities, what kind of woman can’t you find? It’s just that this time, Zhou Yu took advantage of you.”

Standing to the side, Shen Tianling frowned, not understanding why his mother was saying these things at this time.

Was it really just to appease Zhou Ze?

Zhou Ze looked unwilling; he had placed all his hopes on Zhou Yuzhen.

"Auntie, I really like Mr. Xu, please help me again!"

Looking at Zhou Ze's expectant eyes, Zhou Yuzhen chuckled inwardly, but maintained a concerned expression on her face.

"Xiaoze, your aunt will definitely help you. After all, we are the real Zhou family."

"Aunt, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by saying we are the real Zhou family?!" Zhou Ze asked, puzzled, after understanding Zhou Yuzhen's implied meaning.

Zhou Yuzhen deliberately remained silent for a while, as if she was preparing something. After a while, she slowly spoke.

"Actually... Zhou Yu is not your father's biological son."

These words were like a thunderclap, leaving Zhou Ze and Shen Tianling speechless!

"What did you say?! Zhou Yu isn't... he's not Dad's son? But... Dad has always loved him so much!" Zhou Ze was shocked, his words tinged with jealousy.

Zhou Yuzhen sneered and continued, "When your father married Ji Siyao, she was already pregnant. That Zhou Yu is a bastard of unknown origin; even Ji Siyao herself doesn't know who the father of the child is!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ze was completely stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

He asked anxiously, "Then...then what about me? Whose son am I?"

Zhou Yuzhen patted Zhou Ze's hand, a hint of sympathy on her face.

"Ji Siyao is not your mother, your biological mother... Alas, she was also a woman with a tragic fate. She didn't even have time to enjoy life before she left you for another world."

As she said this, a sly glint flashed in Zhou Yuzhen's eyes.

She knew that Zhou Ze, this pawn, would become the sharpest weapon in her hand. With him, her plan was sure to succeed.

It took Zhou Ze a while to realize that he had always thought Zhou Yu was his older brother, but he never expected that there was no blood relation between them at all!

"Auntie, what about my mom? Why...why isn't she with Dad?"

Zhou Yuzhen sighed, "Your mother and father were very much in love, but Ji Siyao wouldn't let your mother into the house and even sent people to harass her. Your mother was tormented to the point of neurasthenia and mental breakdown, and in the end, she just passed away."

"What about my dad? Why didn't he stand up to protect my mom?" Zhou Ze's eyes welled up with tears, his brows furrowed, filled with confusion and anger.

Zhou Yuzhen shrugged and said, "I don't know about that. But your mother eventually committed suicide because of depression. She passed away not long after giving birth to you. It was such a tragedy."

As she spoke, she observed Zhou Ze's reaction.

When she saw the intense shock and hatred on Zhou Ze's face, a smug smile crept onto her lips.

After hearing all this, Zhou Ze completely broke down. His face turned deathly pale, and his eyes were lifeless.

“Now, I am nothing in my father’s eyes! But that brat Zhou Yu, who is clearly not his biological son, is doted on by him... All because he can win the favor of the Xu family! It’s all fake! What fatherly love, it’s all bullshit!”

Zhou Ze completely lost control of his emotions and roared:

"Zhou Yu! Since you took everything that is rightfully mine first, don't blame me for turning ruthless!"
