"Hahaha!"
The neighbors burst into laughter again.
Zhou Hong's father was even more enraged.
Zhou Hong, however, felt a sense of helplessness. Although he controlled this body, the old man in front of him was a stranger.
If he continued to scold and curse, Zhou Hong would lose his temper and have no desire to deal with him.
"Get out, I don't have a shameless son like you."
"Forget it, forget it." Zhou Hong couldn't be bothered to say more and turned to leave.
"Zhou Hong, where are you going?"
"Back to Tianhe Residential Area." Zhou Hong said testily. He had originally planned to stay here for a night, to show some filial piety for this body, but he never expected this situation.
"Do you want me to take you back?"
"No need. Goodbye."
Zhou Hong left quickly.
Zhou Guang Sheng angrily threw the stick on the ground.
A neighbor chuckled, "Zhou Guang Sheng, your son said he wants you to go and enjoy life with him."
"Hmph, that shameless wretch. How could I have such a son?" Zhou Hong's father wiped away tears. Because Zhou Hong shamelessly insisted on being a live-in son-in-law for a wealthy family, he had been ridiculed by his neighbors.
Not only that, but Zhou Hong had also gone with Liu Hua to be a technician, giving massages to wealthy women, which led to more mockery. Furthermore, he had never done anything in his life that brought him honor.
"Uncle Zhou, please calm down. Actually, Zhou Hong is really suited for this line of work..." Liu Hua tried to persuade Zhou Guang Sheng.
"Get lost...!" Zhou Hong's father picked up the stick, and Liu Hua, startled, took to his heels and ran.
Zhou Hong soon returned to Tianhe Residential Area.
After taking a shower, Zhou Hong lay on the large bed.
"Ah! So comfortable." Zhou Hong chuckled to himself. The events of earlier seemed to have no effect on him at all. If he had the chance in the future, he would talk to this body's biological parents properly.
The night passed without incident.
Dawn broke in the blink of an eye.
"Ring ring ring...!"
Early in the morning, Zhou Hong's phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was the old man from last night, Qiao Wan Li, Qiao Xiao Yu's grandfather.
"Zhou Hong, are you awake? Where are you now? I'll drive over to pick you up. I'll take you to report to Jinzhou University and, by the way, have my granddaughter come out so you two can meet face to face," Qiao Wan Li's voice came through immediately after he answered.
"I was just about to get up. I'm at Tianhe Residential Area. You can wait for me at the entrance," Zhou Hong said.
"Okay."
Zhou Hong washed up and went to the entrance of the residential area. After waiting for a while, a Rolls-Royce drove over. The driver was none other than Qiao Wan Li himself. He was personally driving for Zhou Hong, his grandson-in-law. If anyone saw this, they would surely be stunned.
"Zhou Hong, get in."
"Thank you." Zhou Hong got into the passenger seat. He felt a little hesitant, unsure what to call Qiao Wan Li. If it were before, he would have definitely called him Grandpa, but now that he knew they were only truly married if they tied the knot, he felt too embarrassed to call him Grandpa directly.
"What should I call you? Calling you Grandpa directly might not be appropriate, right?" Zhou Hong asked with a smile.
"Whatever you like. As long as you don't dislike me, I'll accept you as my grandson-in-law," Qiao Wan Li replied.
"What if your granddaughter absolutely refuses to acknowledge me?" Zhou Hong asked.
"Then let her die. I'd rather have you than her," Qiao Wan Li said without hesitation.
"Your grandfather is quite ruthless," Zhou Hong muttered speechlessly.
"Haha." Qiao Wan Li chuckled a bit sheepishly. In fact, in his heart, Zhou Hong's importance truly surpassed his granddaughter's. If Zhou Hong was truly as Master Duan said, then his granddaughter was nothing compared to Zhou Hong.
"Since that's the case, I'll call you Grandpa. After all, I've accepted so much money from you, and a house too. It would seem insincere if I didn't show some appreciation," Zhou Hong said with a smile.
"That's wonderful."
"Grandpa, your grandson-in-law pays his respects." Zhou Hong, sitting in the passenger seat, cupped his hands towards the driver's seat and said.
"Hahaha." Qiao Wan Li laughed heartily with joy.
"Oh, Grandpa, I haven't had breakfast yet."
"Alright, there's a breakfast shop ahead. I'll stop the car and let you eat first."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Soon after, Zhou Hong finished his breakfast at a shop ahead. Qiao Wan Li insisted on paying, which made Zhou Hong feel a little embarrassed.
"Let's go to school."
About thirty minutes later, Qiao Wan Li drove the Rolls-Royce to Jinzhou University. However, he didn't drive into the campus. Instead, he parked at the entrance and walked in.
"Grandpa, are you sure this is Jinzhou University?" As they entered the university gates, Zhou Hong's brow suddenly furrowed. He saw young men and women in pairs all over the campus, some openly embracing, and others being intimate on the grass. At first glance, he thought he had stumbled into a pleasure district.
Zhou Hong remembered that in his previous life on the Purple Cloud Continent, the moment one entered a brothel, this was the scene that greeted them: couples with arms around each other, embracing intimately.
"It's Jinzhou University. What's wrong?" Qiao Wan Li asked, confused.
"Grandpa, why does it feel more like a brothel? Look at these pairs, what kind of behavior is this? Embracing each other in broad daylight, what kind of etiquette is this?" Zhou Hong said with a deep frown.
Qiao Wan Li wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead, not understanding why Zhou Hong had such thoughts.
"Zhou Hong, university students are adults now, and they can date freely. Perhaps your thinking is too innocent, and you haven't seen such scenes before."
"Heh." Zhou Hong couldn't help but give a wry smile. As a traditional man, he found it difficult to accept this scene immediately.
"Let's go, Zhou Hong, we're going to the School of Economics and Management."
Zhou Hong said no more. He wasn't a security guard here, so he couldn't interfere. If he were a security guard, he would definitely rectify this atmosphere, turning a place of learning into something like a brothel.
Just then, as Zhou Hong and Qiao Wan Li passed a small bridge, a young couple on the bridge, locked in a passionate kiss, were embracing each other.
Zhou Hong frowned and suddenly kicked them from behind.
"Splash!" The kissing couple fell into the lake with a splash.
"Who, who kicked me?" After falling into the water, the young man roared furiously.
Zhou Hong didn't know that this young man was no ordinary person. He was one of the five renowned young masters of Jinzhou University, named Zhu Zi Han. He held immense power on campus, and few dared to provoke him. Even if he kissed in the classroom, the teacher wouldn't dare to say anything. Yet, unexpectedly, he was kicked into the lake from behind while kissing by the bridge early in the morning. Instantly, Zhu Zi Han roared with fury, seemingly unable to believe that a student would be so audacious as to secretly kick him from behind. If this incident spread, the entire school would likely be shaken.
