My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 466: The Main Focus is Sincerity

He still thought he was hiding it quite well.

Yet Zhou Xueyi never wondered how he could be oblivious to it.

The old man no longer meddled in Chengzhou’s affairs, but he still knew everything that ought to be known.

"Zhou Xueyi clearly doesn’t treat me or Zhou Shuyan well; do you see me engaging with him?" Lu Youxi said.

The old man: "...you’re quite direct, aren’t you?"

"My main approach is sincerity," Lu Youxi said with a sincere face.

The old man: "..."

"Do you have anything else you want to ask?" Lu Youxi posed.

"Nothing more," the old man told the driver, "Let’s go."

Then he said to Lu Youxi, "I’ll take you back. Where are you staying now?"

"We’re heading to the Zhou Mansion tonight," Lu Youxi replied.

The old man curled his lips, his voice seemed to carry a smile but left one uncertain, "Ever since you got married, you’ve been quite eager to return to the Zhou Mansion."

When Zhou Shuyan was single, he didn’t return home as frequently as now.

Since Xu Jingmin started living alone, the old man had hoped for more people to keep Xu Jingmin company.

It turned out that the wife Zhou Shuyan married had managed just that.

"It seems Jingmin is quite fond of you," the old man remarked.

Given Xu Jingmin’s temperament, if she didn’t like Lu Youxi, she’d rather live alone than allow Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi to come back so frequently just to annoy her.

Lu Youxi wore an expression that said ’so I don’t care whether you like me or not.’

Though he didn’t speak, the old man understood.

The old man: "..."

This granddaughter-in-law really is troubling.

At that moment, the old man’s phone rang.

He hadn’t even pulled it from his pocket before he grimaced.

When he saw the caller ID after pulling out his phone, his face showed an I-knew-it expression.

He answered the call and before the other party could speak, he said, "I knew you’d call me; managed to hold out till now, huh? What, did you driver just tell you?"

From the old man’s words, Lu Youxi guessed it might be Zhou Shuyan on the phone.

Zhou Shuyan chuckled and said, "Sun Xianghui told me earlier. But I had to give you and Youxi some time to talk. I figured you’d have talked enough by now, and you’d have gotten to know Youxi somewhat, so I called you."

The old man couldn’t help but sigh silently; having a cunning Zhou Shuyan at home was already exhausting enough, yet Zhou Shuyan found a wife who was just as cunning.

No wonder Zhou Xueyi was being played like a fiddle.

"We indeed have talked quite a bit," the old man admitted.

"Is Youxi particularly good?" Zhou Shuyan immediately asked, sounding not at all worried that Lu Youxi might not be liked by him.

"You’re quite confident," the old man huffed.

"That’s because she is particularly good, which is why I’m so confident," Zhou Shuyan said with a laugh.

"I’m currently driving her back to the Zhou Mansion; don’t worry," the old man replied, curling his lips, "If you’re so confident, why did you feel the need to call me right now?"

Zhou Shuyan chuckled and replied, "Just worried that you might be especially harsh on her."

"Forget about it," the old man glanced at Lu Youxi and said, "She’s not afraid of me at all, no matter how harsh."

Zhou Shuyan laughed, already picturing Lu Youxi’s relaxed demeanor in front of the old man.

The old man glanced again at Lu Youxi and didn’t mind directly saying in front of her, "So far, she seems alright."

He had barely finished speaking when he saw a bright smile appear on Lu Youxi’s face.

The old man: "..."

This person really isn’t modest at all.

"That’s it; you don’t have to worry anymore," the old man finished and hung up the phone.

"Do you think I am quite alright?" Lu Youxi asked after the old man had hung up.

"A smart person," the old man nodded, "knows what to say when."

Just having been dazzled by Lu Youxi’s sincerity, the old man had calmed down and realized that perhaps this was also a tactic Lu Youxi used against him.

And the old man had never encountered such a situation before.

Lu Youxi did not say anything else.

Nor did she continue to speak ill of Zhou Xueyi.

This instead surprised the old man a bit, "Aren’t you going to say anything else?"

"What else should I say?" Lu Youxi curiously responded.

"Like saying something bad about Zhou Xueyi." The old man felt that Lu Youxi was definitely playing dumb and plainly said, "Didn’t you say Zhou Xueyi has been sabotaging Chengzhou? And he even ran to me to speak badly about you."

"Don’t you want to speak ill of him?"

"Speaking about that is stating facts, not speaking ill," Lu Youxi responded, "Besides, everyone knows he’s a fool; you’re well aware of it, so there’s no need for me to ramble about it in your ear."

"And besides, no matter what he says, he is still your son, and you surely wouldn’t like to always hear how foolish your son is, even though it’s a fact," Lu Youxi added.

"If I kept saying it, assuming you still haven’t seen Zhou Xueyi clearly, then I’d be underestimating you," Lu Youxi smiled, "Right?"

Right?

What right?

The old man thought to himself, although Lu Youxi seemed not to say anything bad about Zhou Xueyi just now, every word seemed to be calling Zhou Xueyi "foolish."

In those couple of sentences Lu Youxi called Zhou Xueyi foolish twice.

Of course, the old man couldn’t refute.

The old man helplessly glanced at Lu Youxi, "Alright, you don’t have to say anymore, I admit Zhou Xueyi is quite foolish."

Lu Youxi wore an expression that said ’that’s your words, I didn’t say anything’.

The old man: "..."

"How much longer until we reach the Zhou Mansion?" the old man irritably asked the driver up front.

Why aren’t we there yet!

Driver: "..."

We just left not long ago; how could it be so fast.

"Hurry up!" the old man urged again.

"Yes," the driver had to comply.

"So, have you accepted me now?" Lu Youxi asked the old man again.

The old man: "..."

This girl, is she always this straightforward?

"I just heard you tell Zhou Shuyan that you think I’m quite alright, should that be considered as recognizing me as your granddaughter-in-law?"

The old man: "..."

"Grandpa," Lu Youxi immediately changed her address.

The old man: "!!!"

What’s with young girls these days!

They change so quickly!

"You’re right; I did indeed investigate you, but I did not probe deeply," the old man confessed.

"You saved Zhou Shuyan’s life, and now you’re его wife; naturally, I became more curious about you and wanted to know you a bit more. But at the same time, I didn’t want to overstep and infringe on your privacy," the old man said, "So I just lightly looked into it."
