Chapter 160: Matters of the Gong family

Translator: Lonelytree

When Zhuo Guojian heard his eldest son say that Xiao Lingyu had agreed to the invitation, his eyes were filled with disdain. His expression was indifferent as he coldly snorted, "I knew this would work. After we throw her enough money and benefits, she'll be tempted to work with us."

"But Dad, Xiao Lingyu had decided to have dinner at the Gu Family Hotel!" Zhou Huaming said. Their purpose in inviting Xiao Lingyu was to bribe and entice her. But how could they do that under the eyes of their enemy? It was basically giving the Gu Family something to use against them. Furthermore, having dinner at their sworn enemy's place was already a big insult to them.

Xiao Lingyu had to be doing it on purpose. However, for now, they could only compromise.

"What?" Zhou Guojian was surprised, and then a hint of anger appeared on his face. He held the dragon head of the walking stick and slammed the stick to the ground. He growled, "How dare this woman treats the Zhou Family like this? Is she doing this for the Gu Family?"

Zhou Guojian cursed loudly. His old eyes glowed darkly. Then, he said in a calmer voice, "Go with it for now. Our priority is to save Wei 'Er, but once that is over, hmph..."

Zhou Huaming nodded and replied, "Dad, I have the same idea."

"Good, I'm glad that you can look ahead." Zhou Guojian nodded and said, "Huaming, you'll need to suffer for the family this time." A firm determination appeared in the old man's eyes. "For Wei 'Er, no matter how the woman and the Gu Family humiliate you, you have to endure it. Our plan depends on it. Wei 'Er is the lifeblood of the Zhou Family. We need him for the family's future. You also need him to look after you when you're old." Zhou Goujian reminded Zhou Huaming to do his best to save Zhou Hongwei.

After all, Zhou Hongwei was the Zhou Family's only grandson.

Zhou Huaming smiled bitterly inside. He had two daughters, and his third brother had two daughters. In these past years, the two brothers had tried their best to produce a son, but it was to no avail. Both he and his third brother had many mistresses, but they either couldn't get pregnant or gave birth to more daughters.

There were women who came to the Zhou Family carrying boys. They claimed the boys were part of the Zhou Family.

The first thing the Zhou Family did was to do a paternity test. The result was clear. None of them was telling the truth. As the men got older, they lost their energy. They poured their hope on Zhou Hongwei.

If Zhou Hongwei could give birth to three sons, then each of the brothers would adopt one. Every branch would have an heir. However, strangely enough, while Zhou Hongwei had many girlfriends, none of them got pregnant. The Zhou Family secretly sent out people to check, but they couldn't find anything. However, Zhou Hongwei was still young.

The key issue now was to rescue Zhou Hongwei. Otherwise, with his list of crimes, the man would be sentenced to years in prison. When he came out of prison, he would be too old for marriages and children.

Therefore, the three brothers had to do everything to help Zhou Hongwei. However, Old Master Zhou's repeated warnings made Zhou Huaming's heart chill. It meant that his father doubted his intentions.

Zhou Huaming told Zhou Jianguo. "Father, I know that. Even third brother knows that!" They still needed to depend on Zhou Hongwei in the future.

Zhuo Guojian frowned. "How is the situation with your third brother?"

Zhou Huaming said truthfully, "He said they hadn't found anything. Third brother has handled everything cleanly, and they won't be able to find anything."
