The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 937 - 906: As if a Load Has Been Lifted

Zhou Yuanchao felt resentment in his heart.

"Mom, you’ve endured so much hardship to raise me, how could I blame you!" Zhou Yuanchao comforted her, truly grateful to his mother and stepfather for giving him a complete home, a full childhood.

Seeing her son harbored no resentment toward her, Yan Cui was relieved.

"Yuanchao, you must remember my words. I thought that Zhou Bing’s visit was just to see you, that he wouldn’t say much. But I didn’t expect him to want to use you for revenge, you can’t listen to him," Yan Cui warned, "The Zhou family and the Huo family have a feud, but that’s the Zhou and Huo families of Yanjing. Your hometown is in Nan City, and your father and grandmother were the ones let down by the Zhou family of Yanjing. Moreover, Yingjie has been friends with you for over ten years, we must not forget his kindness because of those ungrateful actions."

Yan Cui couldn’t help but remind her son.

Zhou Yuanchao nodded and said, "That man claims to be my real uncle, and Mom, you didn’t contradict him, I didn’t say anything either. I didn’t expect him to make me enemies with the Huo family. Boss, what grievance do you have with the Zhou family of Yanjing?"

"Humph!" He Tiantian glared at Huo Yingjie with dissatisfaction and let out a huff.

Huo Yingjie couldn’t help but smile wryly; even at this moment, she was still holding onto those old grudges.

"Zhou Yuanyuan is Zhou Bing’s daughter, she is your cousin," Huo Yingjie replied, his expression somewhat helpless.

"Zhou Yuanyuan?" Zhou Yuanchao was startled, "My goodness, she is actually my cousin?"

It was unimaginable!

That such a mad woman shared a trace of blood similar to his own.

"Yes, that’s her," Huo Yingjie said with a bitter smile, "You must know the things Zhou Yuanyuan did back then, so crazy and stubborn. At that time, Zhou Yuanyuan was sent back to Yanjing, and my family seriously warned and punished the Zhou family. However, Zhou Yuanyuan didn’t stop there, she often sabotaged the Huo family. In ’75, she even teamed up with the Zheng family to fabricate evidence of treason to frame the Huo family. Fortunately, my father and I arrived in time to find the evidence which saved the Huo family. Later, the Huo family retaliated against the Zhou family, but that was also because the Zhou family had done many corrupt things and left a lot of loopholes."

"So that means the Zhou family got what they deserved," Zhou Yuanchao said, "Boss, now that I know the whole story, I won’t agree to become the enemy of the Huo family."

Huo Yingjie smiled in relief and said, "That family has ill intentions, you should not associate with those people, it’s not good for you."

"Got it, Boss," Zhou Yuanchao said, "My grandmother was abandoned by that Chen Shimei of a grandfather and was further aggrieved to death by their entire family. I hate them too much to ever associate with them. I was unaware before, but now that I understand their deeds and grudges, I can better grasp the situation. Such people will never be allowed into our house again. Otherwise, I’d not only be letting you down, I’d be betraying my mother who took me far away from home, and I’d be betraying my late grandmother and father."

Yan Cui nodded and said, "Now that our family is doing well with support, we are not afraid of them anymore. Before, it was my poor thinking, it’s all my fault."

"Mom, how can you be blamed for this!" Wang Ying consoled her, "You too wanted us to live a peaceful life."

"Yes, Mom," Zhou Yuanchao said, "In the future, if the Zhou family comes over, just kick them out immediately, do not let them in the door. Our family does not welcome enemies."

These are not relatives, but confirmed enemies.

Fortunately, his mother spoke up, or else he would still be somewhat troubled.

"Yuanchao, I’m very relieved," Huo Yingjie said, "Don’t dwell on this matter, take good care of your health. We need to do our part once our new research institute is built. This time, it’s our own lab."

"Yes, Boss," Zhou Yuanchao smiled, hoping he could leave the hospital soon and recover his health.

Afterward, He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie took the children to say goodbye, taking advantage of the warm noon to eat something and let the children get some fresh air outside.

It wasn’t until Huo Yingjie and his family had left that Zhou Yuanchao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, from now on, if you have any issue, you can tell me," Zhou Yuanchao said. "This time, Boss trusted us. If it had been someone else, our family would have been in danger."

Yan Cui nodded and said, "Yuanchao, I’ve taken note. From now on, whatever happens at home, I’ll listen to you. With the Huo Family around, our whole family will be safe. As for those people from the Zhou Family, they are our enemies."

"Exactly," Zhou Yuanchao said.

Wang Ying, as an outsider, saw things even more clearly.

"Yuanchao, Mom, I feel relieved that Yuanchao explained things to Boss in time and showed his loyalty," Wang Ying said, somewhat relieved.

"What do you mean by that?" Zhou Yuanchao asked. "Wang Ying, take your time and explain."

After thinking for a moment, Wang Ying said, "Just now, when Zhou Bing came out of the ward, I saw that Boss seemed to recognize him, but he didn’t say anything after entering the ward. That must have been a test for Yuanchao. If Yuanchao hadn’t been honest with Boss, I guess Boss wouldn’t trust him anymore."

Thinking about this, Zhou Yuanchao felt a wave of fear, and said, "Ah, luckily my stance was firm. Moreover, our relationship with Boss is not something that has developed over a day or two. From now on, we should focus solely on following Boss and not think about anything else."

"Yes," Yan Cui nodded. "That’s right."

Zhou Yuanchao’s family was deeply affected.

After eating out, He Tiantian took Huo Yingjie and the children to the park to soak up the sun. The children were playing with a football not far away.

"What are you thinking about?" He Tiantian, seeing Huo Yingjie lost in thought, sat beside him.

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Nothing much, just feeling fortunate that Yuanchao was open with me today and didn’t hide anything."

"Hehe, that’s pretty good," He Tiantian laughed, thinking that a friend’s betrayal is scarier than an enemy’s cunning.

"Yes," Huo Yingjie laughed. "Luckily, he was honest with me."

Huo Yingjie didn’t want to use the secret technique on Zhou Yuanchao, but if Zhou Yuanchao had lied to him, he would have been disappointed, saddened, and eventually, he would have grown suspicious. After that, he would have used the secret technique to verify Zhou Yuanchao’s loyalty.

Human emotions are very sincere, but sometimes they cannot withstand doubt.

At the same time, Huo Yingjie had made up his mind that if you don’t remove the roots when you cut the grass, the spring breeze will bring it back to life. Some people can’t be kept around anymore.

"Alright, let’s go home. Staying outside too long can lead to colds," He Tiantian said, helping Huo Yingjie into the car.

Seeing their parents leaving, the two children grabbed their football and followed.

He Tiantian opened the car door, and they obediently climbed in and settled themselves.

Perhaps influenced by Huo Yingjie’s good mood, He Tiantian also felt quite happy today; in the evening, she personally cooked and prepared a table full of dishes for the family.

They also invited Qi Xiaoyan’s family over for dinner, making the house feel like a small party, very lively.

The four children, who have had a close relationship since they were little, played games together, not needing any intervention from the adults.

The adults, on the other hand, sipped tea while discussing business matters.

In the end, the conversation turned to the matter of car dealership.
