Reborn with the ability to read minds, I became a heartthrob.

Seeing her so ungrateful, Zhou Jianguo stopped trying to appease her and scolded, "You really can't tell right from wrong! Are you determined to end this father-daughter relationship today?!"

"There's nothing I can do if that's how you think." Zhou Liwan gave up and turned her head away.

Zhou Jianguo kept a straight face, and after opening his mouth for a long time, he finally calmed down: "I know you hate me for finding your Aunt Xiaofen, but you don't understand adult matters. Besides, she's pregnant with a boy now. It's really not right not to give her a proper status."

"And she's not a bad person at heart, she just loves me too much. So sometimes she does silly things out of jealousy. But she never tries to take away what belongs to your mother and you."

"If they didn't steal anything, then why haven't I seen any of the companies, stocks, funds, or bonds that were originally under Mom's name? Where did all those things go? Could such a big house really have been eaten by a dog?"

Zhou Jianguo found the words a bit harsh and frowned slightly: "Why do you have to say such unpleasant things? Only Wanbao Co., Ltd. is in your uncle Han Kui's hands. The rest are managed by Grandpa. What are you afraid of?"

Zhou Liwan said without any politeness, "My uncle's name is Shen Nanzhou, not some bullshit Han Kui! I will never hand over the company to him. As for what my grandfather has, I will take it all back. My mother's things, no matter how bad they are, should be kept by my maternal grandfather. It's not my place to keep them for a grandfather who has no blood relation to me and only messes around with his stepdaughter!"

Zhou Jianguo noticed that she spoke without any consideration for others, even being somewhat sarcastic and mean, as if she didn't consider these people as family at all.

I felt utterly helpless.

“I will get these things back for you. Your Aunt Han is not the greedy kind of person. You will find that she is actually very simple-minded as you get to know her better.”

[Climb over the mountain peaks and layers of white clouds]

Where is the green light?

It was like being electrocuted, unbelievable, like a miracle.

Passing through my life

[You are the green light in no way]

Looking at Zhou Jianguo, who was so devoted to her, Zhou Liwan couldn't help but think of the song "Green Light".

I wonder if Zhou Jianguo will still be able to say these things after he knows about Han Xiaofen and Assistant Li's affair.

"As someone experienced in handling many complex emotional disputes, I advise President Zhou not to place too much faith in these romantic relationships. You should know that even blood relatives can betray each other, let alone those without blood ties," Zhou Liwan offered the most sincere advice in a calm tone.

“I assume you’re still angry.” Zhou Jianguo didn’t want to continue the topic. “Tell me about what happened that night.”

“That day I received a call from Afu, knowing that she had been hurt by a scumbag again, so I rushed over to help. Actually, there was nothing special about him. He was just an incompetent gigolo who wanted to have his cake and eat it too. Even the underwear he was wearing was bought by Afu, but he still felt that he had lost his freedom and was being restrained.”

As Zhou Jianguo listened, his expression became somewhat unnatural, but Zhou Liwan didn't notice and continued: "So I made him return everything that Afu gave him."

"Including the clothes you're wearing?" The man's voice was calm and even.

Zhou Liwan slowly opened her eyes: "Yes, although Afu will be upset if we do this, Uncle Yao will be happy."

Zhou Jianguo asked, puzzled, "Why should we make your Uncle Yao happy?"

Having been lying down for a while, Zhou Liwan shifted uncomfortably: "At the time, I was thinking that you had a batch of medical equipment licenses that hadn't been issued yet. Every day that was delayed meant an extra day of rent to pay for the factory, and it looked like our cash flow was about to freeze. If Uncle Yao is happy, then we should be able to talk about a temporary rent waiver."

Zhou Jianguo looked on incredulously.

Zhou Liwan gave a sneer, genuinely shocked by such a readily available lie: "But that very day, Assistant Li drugged me, then I was inexplicably arrested by a joint police raid on prostitution, and then..."

Zhou Liwan didn't continue speaking, but what else didn't Zhou Jianguo understand?

He felt a bitter taste in his mouth: "But Assistant Li has no reason?"

Zhou Liwan continued calmly and indifferently: "But others have it too. With a little manipulation, anyone can do this, right?"

Zhou Jianguo had a splitting headache and simply couldn't understand it. He trusted him so much and entrusted him with everything.

The salary and year-end bonus are quite substantial, so why are you still not satisfied?

“There must be some misunderstanding here, I will find out. Don’t speculate. As for the others, I will make sure they give you an explanation!”

[Xiaofen wouldn't dare; it must be someone else.]

"what ever."

I really don't know how someone with this level of intelligence could win a mother's favor.

Stupid home.

After Zhou Jianguo left, Jiang Sangluo rushed in almost immediately, as if she was afraid of being beaten again.

Zhou Liwan nestled comfortably under the air-conditioned blanket and sighed contentedly, "Thank you, lovely Sangluo. Luckily, I had you, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to hold on."

Jiang Sangluo blushed at these words. She had never felt needed like this before; she was always the one being pampered at home.

Suddenly feeling a sense of responsibility, she frowned and said seriously, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just relax and get some sleep here. Go back when you're better."

Zhou Liwan didn't make a fuss; after running a fever all day, she could finally close her eyes.

"OK, good night."

Jiang Sangluo gently adjusted the air conditioner temperature, placed a water bottle by the bed, and then turned off the light and left.

In the darkness, Zhou Liwan's lips curled up slightly.

The next morning, Zhou Liwan, whose fever had subsided, was already sitting upright on the sofa in the Zhou family's living room.

If Zhou Jianguo hadn't called her early in the morning, she definitely would have stayed at Academician Jiang's house for breakfast before coming back.

“He’s here. He’s already confessed that he was the one who drugged him, but the mastermind isn’t the person you’re thinking of; it’s someone else entirely,” Zhou Jianguo said in a deep voice, kicking down his kneeling assistant, Li.

Zhou Liwan asked meaningfully, "Who is that?"

Zhou Jianguo picked up the freshly brewed Da Hong Pao tea from the table, took a sip, and continued, "It's Afu's ex-boyfriend. He was so angry and embarrassed by what you guys did that he gave Assistant Li a large sum of money."

"Is that so?" Zhou Liwan circled around Assistant Li, who was now in a disheveled state, without saying another word.

"What are you standing there for? Apologize to Miss!" Zhou Jianguo said with a dark face, slamming the cup heavily onto the coffee table.

Assistant Li knelt down silently, then began to slap himself hard, each slap louder and clearer than the last.

Zhou Wenyue was startled awake. When she came out and saw this scene, she couldn't help but sneer: "Our niece really has a lot of influence! But is it really okay to treat people like this?"

Zhou Liwan wasn't angry at all; instead, she raised her eyebrows slightly: "Is Aunt jealous? No matter how much prestige he has, I can handle it! Even if I told him to die right now, do you think he would dare to resist?"
