Chapter 1212 No room for slowdown
Mrs. Zhou was speechless about her husband's instructions and hung up the phone. How could she be the one causing the trouble?
The divorce agreement was drafted by a lawyer in Beijing. The agreement was delivered to the Zhou family as soon as the lawyer got to work today. Mr. Zhuang Sanye and his group will not return to Beijing until noon.
The agreement will be sent to Zhou's house. Obviously, Zhuang Zhoucheng also knew that Zhou Haoyu rushed back to the capital last night, but he did not expect that Zhou Haoyu would take his daughter away so early in the morning.
The D City Chamber of Commerce is in full swing. After receiving the news from the capital, Mr. Zhuang San immediately sent people to track them down and instructed them not to inform his wife and not to disturb his daughter's trip.
The people who did this were Zai'an and Zai'ren. They had mature and experienced shooting skills, and this skill would probably be needed unless it was absolutely necessary, because they knew that the place where Zhou Haoyu took Miss Zhuang Si to was an animal world, and most of the animals were in danger of attacking humans.
In the afternoon, Zhuang Zhoucheng and his group returned to the capital. Zhou's father was waiting at the airport early in the morning. When he saw them coming out, he hurried forward with his fat body.
"My dear in-laws, you are finally back. Is the Chamber of Commerce going well?" Zhou's father asked with a shy smile.
Third Master Zhuang glanced at Father Zhou and, as he walked out of the airport, asked directly, "I hope Mr. Zhou will readily agree to the children's divorce. Your son's behavior is not suitable for being my daughter's husband."
"My dear relatives, our two children got married without the consent of both of our parents. Now we, as parents, are asking them to separate, but I'm afraid that's not possible. Marriage is not a joke. Qiqi is your biological daughter, so this marriage cannot be so casual..."
"Because I have already been careless once by marrying your son, I, as a father, must make up for it and correct it in time." Zhuang Zhoucheng said in a deep voice.
Anyone can do whatever they want, but not his daughter's husband.
"I'm sure Boss Zhou still remembers the oath your son swore to heaven when he brought my daughter back to China. If not, I'll have someone burn a plate and send it to you. I and my wife didn't force him to swear. If you can't do it, don't swear casually. There's no God, but don't treat me, your father, like a mere decoration!"
"Yes, yes, yes... It's true that Haoyu made a mistake this time, but we should always give the child a chance to mend his ways. Haoyu and Qiqi are not facing any relationship crisis..."
"Sorry, this is Boss Zhou's idea. As far as I am concerned, your son is out." Zhuang Zhoucheng stopped sideways beside the car. His tall and strong body carried an aura that brooked no resistance, and he looked at Zhou's father with cold eyes.
"Instead of trying to persuade me here, why not go back and discuss with Madam Ling how to get Master Ling to sign the divorce agreement? The divorce agreement has been sent out. If it's not signed within two days, I will resolve this through legal means. Boss Zhou will then be responsible for settling the compensation the Zhuang family demands."
Zhuang Zhou refused to budge and gave no room for relaxation.
"compensation?"
Zhou's father was shocked. Everyone knew about Mr. Zhuang Sanye's methods. If this got out, the Zhou family would undoubtedly pay for the Zhuang family's loss of face and a series of predatory projects. The Wang family went bankrupt back then but was unable to repay the Zhuang family's "losses".
Father Zhou's face turned pale for a moment, and he cursed his own brat in his heart. He had warned him long ago that if he couldn't do it, he shouldn't provoke the banker's people. Who among the banker's people is a good person?
"My dear relatives, is it really necessary to do this? The children are still young..."
Before Zhou's father could finish his stuttering words, Zhuang Zhoucheng had already gotten into the car. The next moment, Zhou's father was blocked two meters away by the young bodyguard and the car drove out smoothly.
Father Zhou slapped his forehead and thought, "Something bad has happened. It seems that his daughter-in-law has to take care of this matter."
But if I let my daughter-in-law speak, wouldn't that be the same as telling her that her son was having an affair outside? My own bastard took my wife away and stopped her from knowing.
Zhou's father returned home and discussed the matter with his wife.
Mrs. Zhou thought the banker was just bluffing, could he really destroy the Zhou family? The Zhou family was no pushover.
But before he could finish his words, Zhou's father yelled at him, "You're too soft-hearted! Do you think the Zhuang family's ranking as the top of the four prestigious families is just for show? In addition to the four prestigious families, there are eight other aristocratic families in the capital. Where does the Zhou family rank?"
Mrs. Zhou remained silent. Although she wasn't one of the four prestigious families or the eight aristocratic families, the Zhou family was still among the sixteen most powerful families. There were tens of thousands of powerful families in the capital, but only sixteen made the list. Didn't this show the Zhou family's capabilities?
The reason why the banker's family is above the wealthy and powerful families is because of the support of the four prestigious families. If it were not for the support of the three major families of Qin, Shi and Zhuang, could the banker's family be pushed so high?
"That's ridiculous!" Zhou's father shouted angrily, "Why don't you think about this? If the Zhuang family doesn't have any real strength, how can these three families follow the Zhuang family's lead? The Zhou family doesn't need to look up to the Zhuang family, but they can't deny their strength. You see a piece of land in front of you and think it's the whole world. Stop looking down on others and exaggerating yourself. Haoyu was harmed by your thinking!"
Zhou's father's voice was filled with rage. If his son didn't believe he was inferior to others, why would he still complain after marrying his wife? He felt that his wife's family was powerful, and that he was being outshined. But why didn't he think about the connections he had gained because of his wife's family? How many shortcuts he had taken that others couldn't take? On the one hand, he took the benefits given by the banker, while on the other hand, he disdained everything about the banker. How could someone be so ungrateful?
This behavior is exactly the same as his mother's!
Back then, she disdained the wealth and glory of the rich, and was aloof and cold. On the other hand, she tried every means to get close to the eldest son of the Zhou family. When someone approached her, she was reluctant to accept him. So why did Qiu Fu still marry into the Zhou family?
Mrs. Zhou's face turned pale and black after hearing what Zhou's father said. She was so angry that she walked into the house with red eyes.
"I won't be involved in my son's affairs anymore. You're always right. So go ahead and take care of it, or you'll end up saying that everything went wrong because of me."
This was probably the only time when Mrs. Zhou cried that her father did not try to comfort her, which made Mrs. Zhou even more sad.
Mr. Zhuang Sanye returned to the Zhuang family. His wife was in good condition and was not disturbed. Looking at his wife's smiling face, Zhuang Zhoucheng felt relieved.
"Qiqi went back to her mother-in-law's house last night," Huo Yan followed her husband into the house and sighed, "No matter how dear a daughter is, she will eventually have her own family."
No matter how reluctant I am, I can't keep my daughter by my side forever.
"Yeah." Zhuang Zhoucheng replied in a low voice, then changed the subject and asked, "When will Xiaoquan come back?"
"Two days later. When he left yesterday, he said he would be gone for three days." Huo Yan whispered.
Zhuang Zhoucheng was silent, took off his coat and went upstairs to the study.
