My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 472: Tricked into Limping

"Alright," Lu Youxi nodded.

If Lu Youzhen had any sense, she’d stay away from her.

Otherwise, the one suffering would always be Lu Youzhen herself.

Lu Youxi thanked Aunt Lin.

Whenever there was any new situation at the Lu Family, especially anything that could potentially harm her, Aunt Lin always contacted her first.

Aunt Lin had always loved gossiping, and now that she had made a good impression on Lu Youxi, she was doubly pleased by benefiting in two ways.

Lu Youxi hung up the phone and had barely placed it on the bedside table when Zhou Shuyan pressed down on her.

Lu Youxi, puzzled, braced herself against Zhou Shuyan’s chest, "What’s wrong?"

Zhou Shuyan raised the corners of his eyes slightly, the light flickering in his dark pupils dazzled her.

Having just taken a bath, he had also washed and blow-dried his hair, which wasn’t fixed with hair gel as it was during work hours.

Now, Zhou Shuyan’s hair fell softly.

Locks of hair from his forehead dangled down, slightly covering his eyebrows and eyes.

He looked so different from when he would slick and fix his hair for work.

Lu Youxi particularly adored how his hair fell, and she was so captivated by his appearance at that moment that she seemed to have lost her senses.

"I have to take really good care of you, so you don’t tire of me, get upset, and kick me to the curb," Zhou Shuyan said with a smile.

Lu Youxi: "..."

"Did you hear that?" Lu Youxi’s eyes widened in surprise, she clearly hadn’t turned on the speakerphone.

"The sound leaks quite badly from your phone," Zhou Shuyan glanced at Lu Youxi’s phone.

It was still the one he had given her before.

Back then, to keep up appearances, he hadn’t dared to give Lu Youxi an expensive phone.

He bought a very cheap one, and it wasn’t a Chengzhou phone.

Chengzhou didn’t have low-end phones; even the low-end models in Chengzhou’s product line were relatively expensive.

He hadn’t expected Lu Youxi to keep using that phone until now without changing it.

"Let’s go to the mall tomorrow night and get you a Chengzhou phone," Zhou Shuyan suggested.

Lu Youxi nodded, "True, as Mrs. Zhou, not using my own family’s phone does seem embarrassing."

Zhou Shuyan chuckled lightly, he hadn’t really thought about it that way.

But hearing Lu Youxi say it, he nodded and replied, "That’s right, and besides, Chengzhou phones are of good quality and won’t leak sound."

Lu Youxi: "..." freёweɓnovel.com

While Lu Youxi was silent, Zhou Shuyan took the opportunity to kiss her lips.

"Take good care of me, don’t abandon me," Zhou Shuyan pleaded pitifully.

Lu Youxi kicked his leg irritably, "If Aunt Lin knew your true identity, she’d be the one worried that you can’t be trusted and might easily make a mistake and do something to betray me."

"How could I possibly dare," Zhou Shuyan said helplessly, "you found out my true identity even before my initiative to come clean. The length of time you ignored me, I was scared to death; how could I dare do something to betray you?"

Lu Youxi lightly hummed and nipped Zhou Shuyan’s ear.

Zhou Shuyan shuddered, nearly giving in right then and there.

Zhou Xueyi learned of the old man’s overnight stay at the Zhou Mansion even faster than Zhou Shuyan had expected.

Zhou Xueyi knew about it the next day.

Indeed, as Zhou Shuyan had feared, Zhou Xueyi was in a complete panic upon finding out.

He paced back and forth in the house so much that his wife, Fang Meiqiong, became irritated and couldn’t help but say, "How long are you going to keep pacing?"

"Aren’t you worried at all?" Zhou Xueyi stopped in his tracks and turned to ask Fang Meiqiong.

"Worried about what?" Fang Meiqiong knew what Zhou Xueyi was worried about.

But Zhou Xueyi was asking if she was worried.

And she indeed had nothing to worry about.

Out of urgency, Zhou Xueyi clicked his tongue and said, "The old man has moved into the Zhou Mansion, and he said that as long as Zhou Shuyan is there, the old man will stay. If Zhou Shuyan isn’t, then he’ll go back to his own village."

"What’s wrong with that? Otherwise, when Zhou Shuyan isn’t around, only the eldest sister-in-law is at home, and it wouldn’t be proper for the old man to stay there as a father-in-law. He would definitely choose to go when Zhou Shuyan is home," Fang Meiqiong said with a look of innocence.

Zhou Xueyi grew more anxious, "Why can’t you focus on the main issue?"

Fang Meiqiong mentally rolled her eyes hugely.

Of course, she knew what Zhou Xueyi was worried about.

Was it not just that he worried about Zhou Shuyan getting closer to the old man, possibly leveraging these opportunities to gain more benefits, or trip him up with disparaging remarks?

But Zhou Xueyi did not consider that pretty much all of Chengzhou was already Zhou Shuyan’s, and practically the whole Zhou Family too. Did they really need any other benefits?

There were no more benefits that could be given to Zhou Shuyan.

Only Zhou Xueyi, who lacked those, kept brooding over them every day.

But how could the old man trust Zhou Xueyi enough to hand over Chengzhou, considering how foolish he was?

Yet Zhou Xueyi did not posses that self-awareness; he always felt he was capable but underestimated, while considering Zhou Shuyan merely lucky, the son of his older brother and the Family Head.

Zhou Xueyi did not realize that he had been completely ousted from Chengzhou. If before there was a 20 percent chance of turning the situation around, now the possibility had turned negative.

What kind of pipe dreams was Zhou Xueyi still having?

However, it was fortunate for Zhou Xueyi to be quite foolish, making him easy to manipulate.

Fang Meiqiong would often coax Zhou Xueyi, with or without reason.

Just like now, Zhou Xueyi was being coaxed into thinking Fang Meiqiong did not grasp the true gravity of the situation.

If Zhou Shuyan were here, he could understand why Zhou Xueyi hadn’t made any progress over the years.

He had been fooled by Fang Meiqiong.

"Are you saying that’s not the main issue?" Fang Meiqiong asked with a puzzled face.

"The old man staying at the Zhou Mansion, isn’t that facilitating Zhou Shuyan’s closeness with the old man?" Zhou Xueyi said, "What if Zhou Shuyan takes advantage of the opportunity to seek more benefits and badmouths me?"

Fang Meiqiong thought, as expected, he was just as she had figured.

Zhou Xueyi’s mind was too easy to read.

"What benefits could he possibly want?" Fang Meiqiong said, feigning confusion while speaking the plain truth, "Isn’t all of Chengzhou Zhou Shuyan’s already? In the future, the entire Zhou Family will also be handed over to Zhou Shuyan to inherit. What more does he need?"

"Moreover, the old man doesn’t have any other benefits to give Zhou Shuyan," Fang Meiqiong mercilessly stated the fact.

"Who says there aren’t!" Zhou Xueyi instinctively retorted.

Unhurriedly, Fang Meiqiong said, "Then tell me, what else is there?"

Zhou Xueyi: "..."

He thought hard over and over again, and it really seemed there was nothing left...

Zhou Xueyi: "!!!"

Had Zhou Shuyan really already seized all the benefits?

"Why didn’t you tell me sooner!" Zhou Xueyi complained.

"Tell you what? That Zhou Shuyan has seized all the benefits?" Fang Meiqiong asked.

"Yes!" Zhou Xueyi nodded.

Fang Meiqiong said, "But it’s not quite right to say that Zhou Shuyan has seized all the benefits, is it?"
