Chapter 224 Go get Xiaowen back
Zhou Yongan had heard that his parents had moved to Qinyuan, and the empty courtyard seemed somewhat quiet and desolate.
Grandma's questions were like a needle lodged in his ears, which did not scratch the itch but instead pricked him.
Zhou Yongan did not directly answer his grandmother's question. He said, "Now that Huayun has just returned to China, there are many businesses to deal with. I don't have time to think about other things."
"I didn't ask you to think about it. You just went to complete a procedure. Is it that difficult?"
Even now, the old lady was still speaking harsh words. It was clearly her who was begging, but her attitude was still as tough as before.
Taking an old attitude and refusing to accept equal dialogue will not be conducive to the development of the situation.
"How can it be just a formality? Divorce is divorce. People will change."
Change?
The old lady felt uneasy and looked up at her second grandson, unsure of what he was thinking.
People will change. How could she not know this at such an old age? But she also knows that not everyone in this world will change with time and environment.
Zhou Conglin couldn't change. Why couldn't he change...
The old lady stood up and left the rattan chair. The Zhou family had been full of affectionate people for generations, but she was really unsure about what happened in Yong'an.
Her niece told her about the anecdotes he had caused in the news in the past, cursing at them. She realized that he might not be as emotionally loyal as his father or grandfather.
How much does he care about Li Qingwen?
Was it because she chose the wrong time to fight against her for Li Qingwen, forcing him when her grandson was more in love with that woman, that he resisted so fiercely?
Men like to show their strength by protecting women and don't like to be told what to do by others. This does not mean that he is devoted to Li Qingwen.
The more she thought about it, the more unsure the old lady became. She asked tentatively, "Xiao Wen has been very close to your uncle Liang's son recently. Judging from their appearance, it's normal for them to accidentally shoot each other. Did you know about this?"
"know."
The old lady was stunned: "Then you will do nothing and just watch?"
"What should I do? Because of the company's affairs, I can only sleep five or six hours a day. How can I have the energy to care about other things?"
Zhou Yongan's attitude gradually became clear, and the old lady's face became worse and worse. She originally thought that whether Li Qingwen was allowed to return to the Zhou family was just a matter of her words.
So she has been hesitating for the past few months and hasn't brought up the idea.
He also thought that Xixiang and the Yu family could successfully marry and temporarily alleviate the Zhou family's predicament.
She was even certain that as long as she agreed, Yong'an would take action immediately.
But now there is no follow-up from the eldest brother, and the only solution she can think of is Li Qingwen - Yongan and Xiaowen's remarriage has become an inevitable choice.
Who would have thought that even though she was talking loosely, Yongan would say such words.
The old lady's hands trembled, and she unconsciously reached into the bushes beside her and broke off a branch: "Huayun is worth a few dollars, Huayu is the highlight, do you understand?"
"Will Huayu be the master of the house for me?"
The old lady was furious and asked, "How dare you have such thoughts?"
It has always been a convention that everyone, from inside and outside the company to the top and bottom, believes that it is natural, well-deserved and reasonable for the eldest brother to be in charge of Huayu Bank.
Even Zhou Yongan himself, who has been influenced by the idea of respecting elders since childhood, believes so.
Even if he occasionally desires power, as long as he knows that it belongs to the eldest brother, he will automatically give up the idea in an instant.
He originally thought that this was simply due to his inner love and respect for his eldest brother, but in recent years he realized that this was also a kind of family favoritism. After all, it was a fact that everyone cared more about his eldest brother than themselves. He knew it since he was a child, but he just didn't take it to heart.
Simply put, if there is a stone slab, with one end pressing him and the other end pressing his eldest brother, and if they save one they will die... they will all choose to save their eldest brother.
Zhou Yongan smiled and said, "If we remarry, the combined equity of Li Qingwen and I will be the largest in the Zhou family. Huayu will be the decision maker for me. Is there any problem?"
The old lady was so angry that she kept shaking her head.
There was no room for negotiation on this issue: "Impossible. Not to mention that I won't agree, your dad and the other shareholders, who would agree to it?"
"Yes," Zhou Yongan said, "I also know that it is impossible, so I will concentrate on building Huayun."
"Even if Huayun is sold, it won't be worth much. Yongan——"
"Although small, it has all the necessary organs. Isn't that how grandpa developed Huayu little by little? It's the same with Huayun now."
The old lady couldn't listen any longer: "You are not a person without sense of right and wrong. Don't stand by and watch Huayu's foundation be destroyed just to piss off my grandmother."
Zhou Yongan smiled lightly, his eyes far away: "Grandma said so much, wanting me to remarry, just for the shares in Li Qingwen's hands, but even if we remarry, the shares will be hers, not mine."
The old lady: "That is the common property of the couple."
Zhou Yongan: "As long as it is notarized before marriage, it is still hers."
The old lady couldn't help but sneer at him, "You will have children sooner or later, and in the end, all this will be left to the children."
Zhou Yongan turned around and looked at his grandmother: "What if I can't give birth, or if she is infertile, will grandma accept us to adopt a child?"
adopt a child?
Wouldn't that mean handing over all of the Zhou family's property to others?
These words made the old lady despair.
"How can you think that?" The old lady shook her head like a rattle. "Impossible, I don't accept it. I absolutely don't accept it!"
Zhou Yongan already knew the outcome, so he said the same thing: "You don't love her, so how can I not expect that after she gives birth to the child and completes the equity transfer, will you kick her out again?"
After all, it's not impossible for such things to happen.
The old lady admitted that she was simply doing it for the equity. As for what would happen in the future, she had no control over it and anything could happen.
"It's amazing that you can think that far ahead." The old lady closed her eyes and sat back in her chair. "I am an old man, and I may not live that long. Don't worry."
Zhou Yongan pulled his lower lip and said, "Grandma has to live to be a hundred years old, it's not good to say such things."
The old lady sighed and said, "I don't care whether what you said is true or not. If you want me to die in peace, go and get Xiaowen back."
Zhou Yongan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on the various flowers in the yard. His mother had always taken care of them, so he still didn't know the names of these flowers and plants.
As he admired the flowers, Zhou Yongan reached out his hand, plucked one, and looked back at the old lady: "Then let big brother go after her."
