After rebirth, I want to destroy my original family

This period of time starts from the warm-up of the Internet Conference to the end of the first day of the conference.

Zhou Shirong has been focusing on making friends in various circles, investigating the domestic market, and discussing the "Joy City" project with senior company executives.

And Duan Ying was not idle during this period.

In the name of helping Zhou Shirong, she joined Hurricane Investment and personally managed the investment in the Fandian app.

Every document she handled was organized neatly, and she asked her husband for his opinion every night.

Finally, the deal was finalized and the money was transferred. Her rigorous and meticulous work style made Zhou Shirong look at her with admiration.

How many surprises do you have left that I don’t know about?

In fact, many people within the Zhou Group were quite dissatisfied with Duan Ying's use of the group's money to invest in his own relatives, because for such kinship investments, the chances of losing money were very high.

Some people even think that this investment was purely motivated by Duan Ying's benefit for her family.

But while many people were discussing the relationship as "mother's family", they all overlooked one thing, that is, Duan Ying successfully came into contact with Hurricane Capital's investment business by investing in Duan Wenzhao.

There are only 0 times and countless times in this world.

In Duan Ying's mind, investing in her nephew is just a trivial matter. It may work or not, it doesn't matter at all.

What was the real big deal? It was that I started to get involved in Zhou Group's business.

Just like Qin Jingqiu five years ago, she also took the opportunity of helping Zhou Shihua to enter the company.

Later, this woman took control of the Zhou Group step by step. What about herself?

However, after receiving the investment from Fandian App, Duan Ying did not continue to interfere in the company's business. Instead, she often invited the wives of company executives and the wives of company shareholders to gather at Sheshan Manor to drink tea and play mahjong.

After the first day of the Internet Conference, Duan Ying’s “Rich Ladies’ Gathering” has been held three times.

Many high-level wives and shareholders' wives have become good friends with her, and can even be said to be best friends.

Blah, blah—

In the evening, after three rounds of mahjong, Duan Ying lost tens of thousands of yuan again, but she seemed happier than winning money and called on her sisters to come again.

At this time, Zhou Shirong changed his clothes and came out of the study. While adjusting his tie, he hurried out the door and got into the car.

"Uncle Gong, go to Lao Zhengxing Restaurant."

"Mr. Zhou, it's almost dark now, what are you doing there?"

Zhou Shirong looked up at him and felt a little strange.

In his mind, Uncle Gong has always been a very professional driver who usually doesn't ask too much about anything. But today he suddenly asked a question in return, which made him a little puzzled.

But this is not a confidential matter. Zhou Shirong said, "I have dinner plans with several company CEOs today. When you arrive, find a place to eat and wait for me. I think I will be drunk before I come back tonight."

"But the eldest lady will come back tonight."

"Who said that?"

"Didn't Master 2 call the day before yesterday and say he wanted to bring Miss and her friends to his house for dinner?"

"?"

Zhou Shirong was stunned for a moment, then he remembered Zhou Shihua's call: "Was it today?"

Uncle Gong nodded: "Today is the day."

Zhou Shirong patted his forehead and said, "I've met so many people these days that I forgot about this matter."

"Mr. Zhou, why don't you not go? The young lady has finally come back for the first time, and she brought her friends with her this time."

In the phone call Zhou Shihua made a few days ago, he specifically emphasized Zhou Xiaoyao's friend and said that he was a very energetic young man. Zhou Shirong immediately knew what he meant.

My daughter must be looking for a boyfriend, and this time I brought him back specially for me to see.

It's just that he was too busy and didn't remember it after answering the phone. He didn't even notify his secretary to record the itinerary.

But now that the two things have collided, there must be a trade-off.

Zhou Shirong thought about it again and again, and finally decided to go to the restaurant first. There was no rush for his daughter's matter.

My boyfriend is not my son-in-law, so since I am here in such an informal capacity as a friend, if I can't meet him this time, it will be the same if I meet him next time.

But this private dinner tonight is different. It was made possible thanks to the Internet Conference. It will be difficult to get such a good opportunity next time.

"Uncle Gong, wait for me here."

Zhou Shirong opened the car door, returned to the villa, and called his wife Duan Ying to the tea room: "Xiaoyao is coming to dinner tonight and brought a friend. Please help me greet them."

Duan Ying was slightly stunned: "Friend?"

"Old 2 said it was a boy. I guess he should be a boyfriend or something like that, but I have to meet some important guests tonight and can't get away. Can you help me take a look at this guy?"

"But hubby, I still have a lot of guests here."

Zhou Shirong patted his shoulder and said, "No need to entertain him specially, just chat more and that's enough. You don't have to entertain him separately during meals, just eat together."

Duan Ying nodded: "Then I'll take care of it."

"Remember, look at the character of this young man and his family background. If his family background is too bad, don't let him have any contact with you. Our Zhou family is a wealthy family after all."

"understood."

Zhou Shirong nodded, returned to the car, and told Uncle Gong to drive.

Uncle Gong thought that Zhou Shirong hurried back because he had changed his mind and wanted to stay to wait for the eldest lady and her husband, so he even turned off the engine. When he heard that he was still leaving, he couldn't help but sighed, but in the end he didn't say anything more. He started the car and slowly drove out of Sheshan Manor.

At this time, Duan Ying came out of the tea room and asked the sisters to continue playing. She went upstairs to change her clothes and looked in the mirror with a smile on her face.

She is very annoyed now, very annoyed that the girl named Zhou Xiaoyao comes to show off her presence again.

Over the years, she has worked hard to make Zhou Xiaoyao fade out of Zhou Shirong's heart. In fact, she just doesn't want him to remember Zhou Xiaoyao's mother. She also conceals Zhou Xiaoyao's existence from the outside world, hoping that everyone will think that she is the original wife.

But this girl always appeared from time to time, making her unable to calm down at all.

Boy friend?

Duan Ying found it a little funny.

Zhou Xiaoyao was raised by him so much that she didn't even dare to speak. Now, not only does she dare to find a boyfriend, she even has the courage to bring him back to show Zhou Shirong.

It seems that over the years, I have no time to care about her, and she has really become more and more courageous.

Thinking of the word "friend", Duan Ying frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered the summer four years ago, when Andy was just one year old. She received a message from China saying that Zhou Xiaoyao had made a good friend who lent her more than 4 million yuan.

Duan Ying’s first feeling was that this girl was deceived by the little yellow-haired boy, and then she felt very happy.

She felt that after Zhou Xiaoyao was cheated of her money, she would definitely be cheated of her body as well.

There is no way, who made her look so beautiful.

According to the development of the plot, she might get pregnant before marriage and have a miscarriage. Given Zhou Shirong's temper, this daughter would be gone.

But she didn't expect that this possibility never happened, which made her feel very regretful.

But what Duan Ying could never have imagined was that the yellow-haired guy who "cheated" Zhou Xiaoyao of 3 million not only returned the money, but was about to get himself into trouble.

"Duan Ying, what are you doing?"

"Oh, I'm changing clothes."

"Come down quickly, you have a visitor!"

"I know, I'll come right away."

Duan Ying put on earrings, a diamond necklace, and a fur coat, revealing the temperament of an extremely noble lady. She stood in front of the railing on the second floor very elegantly, looked down from above, and then saw Zhou Xiaoyao and the boy beside him.

The wealthy ladies at the card game were also looking at Zhou Xiaoyao and Gu Ming, whispering to each other.

Duan Ying specifically did not go down, but stood upstairs for a long time, staring ahead lightly.

She knew that Zhou Xiaoyao was most afraid of the feeling of being stared at, especially the feeling of being stared at by many people, just like when she "accidentally" left her in the amusement park.

But what she didn't expect was that the boy led her directly to the living room.

Duan Ying could not see the living room from her point of view, but she knew that her son was watching The Adventures of Jackie Chan in the living room.

"Why are you here again?"

Her son's cute voice sounded from the living room, making Duan Ying couldn't help laughing. But the next second, the sound on TV suddenly changed.

A high-pitched singing voice sounded: "For all the pain of love, for all the pain of hate..."

Duan Ying frowned and walked down the stairs. When she touched the floor, her gloomy face suddenly turned into a bright smile.

"Duan Ying, who is that girl? Why is she so beautiful?"

"My daughter."

Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment: "You have a daughter this old, why haven't I heard of it before?"

Duan Ying pursed her lips and smiled: "It's not a kiss, how can you still show it?"

"Oh, Mr. Zhou seemed to have a girlfriend before him, right? I forgot about that. Who is that guy? He looks familiar."

"He seems to be her boyfriend. He has a popular face and looks familiar. It's normal."

Duan Ying said this quietly, and several ladies nearby immediately showed curious looks.

At this time, Zhou Shihua walked out of the villa, holding a mobile phone in his hand, with a confused expression: "Sister-in-law, where is my eldest brother? I called him, but the call didn't go through."

"Didn't he tell you? He has some very important guests to entertain today, and he just left."

"Gone? Didn't I tell him that Xiaoyao was bringing some friends over tonight?"

Duan Ying pulled him aside and said, "You know the current situation of the Zhou family. Isn't your eldest brother busying around for the Zhou family? Even if Xiaoyao's fiancé comes, can he be more valuable than Jingdong and Xiaomi's boss?"

Zhou Shihua couldn't believe it: "That's not what I meant. This is the first time Xiaoyao brings her boyfriend home. We should take this seriously. And I've already done it two days in advance."

"I didn't say I don't care. Am I still here? Doesn't a stepmother count as a mother? Go sit down first. I'll prepare dinner in the kitchen and we can have dinner together later."

Seeing Duan Ying walking towards the kitchen, Zhou Shihua frowned, and finally walked into the living room without saying a word.

The eldest brother's youngest son was sitting in a corner of the sofa, picking his fingers, a little afraid to look up. The remote control was in the hand of his niece. "The Temptation to Go Home" was playing on TV, and Gu Ming was sitting between them with a faint smile on his face.

"Uncle, sit down."

"Gu Ming, I have something to tell you."

"I know. The rich girl's father is not here, but her vicious stepmother is here. I told you before I came here that he is so busy, and it is uncertain whether you can see him or not. See, I was right."

Gu Ming tried to lower his voice as much as possible so that Zhou Xiaoyao wouldn't hear it.

After listening to this, Zhou Shihua pursed his lips and did not speak for a long time.

He really didn't expect that his elder brother didn't care about his niece at all. He said he would bring his boyfriend home two days in advance, but in the end he was not at home.

Gu Mingkan spoke again: "A qualified father would not wait at home when his daughter brings her friends to visit, but would call her over immediately upon knowing that she has arrived in Shanghai, or take the initiative to go and see her. Is Sheshan Manor far from Xiangti Villa? Your expectations of that old man are too low."

Hearing this, Zhou Shihua suddenly understood where Gu Ming's disdain came from.

That’s right, when I called my eldest brother the night before and told him that Xiaoyao was coming to Shanghai, his reaction should not have been that he knew about it, but that he should have asked Xiaoyao to come over, or went to see Xiaoyao in person.

He doesn't have time tonight, okay, just think of it as a coincidence.

But it’s been almost two days since I received the call. Doesn’t he have any time at all?

I have made an appointment to meet you, and you are a good father if you wait at home? Just ridiculous.

"you're right."

"Auntie can see things more clearly than you, that's why she doesn't even want to come today."

After Gu Ming finished speaking, he turned to look at the little boy in the corner of the sofa and found that he was playing with the Rubik's Cube with his head down. So he reached out and took it and put it in the arms of the little rich woman.
