Traveling through the worlds, my husband comes here to smell the scent

Chapter 233: My Brother’s Hypocrisy Has Been Seen Through (15)

Zou Yan looked at Zou Xu who opened the door and came in, his eyes revealing a bit of guilt and helplessness. After seeing him close the door, he calmed down and slowly said:

"sit down"

Zou Xu sat down in front of his desk, looking at him with his dark eyes without saying a word.

Zou Yan leaned back in his chair, sighed, his brows full of worry, his gaze falling on Zou Xu. This seemed to be the first time in all these years that Zou Yan had looked at him so seriously.

Perhaps it was the face that looked so similar to his deceased wife, or perhaps it was some other reason, but Zou Yan had been unable to figure out things for so many years, but now he suddenly understood everything.

No matter what, he and Zou Xu, one lost his wife and the other lost his mother, they were both in pain, and in this situation, he, as a father, did not provide comfort, which was really... unqualified.

So, it seems that no matter what, it cannot be a reason for him to be indifferent to his son over the years.

Zou Yan felt a little bit of pain in his heart and said with a wry smile:

"Xiao Xu... do you hate me?"

Looking at him like this, Zou Xu was actually a little confused. So many years had passed, and as Zou Yan said, he was already an adult. Was it important to talk about this now?

"No hate"

Zou Xu slowly uttered two words. Indeed, he had long stopped hating Zou Yan. Perhaps a few years ago, if Zou Yan had asked him this, he would have said without hesitation that he hated him, but not now.

"I……"

Zou Yan didn't seem to expect that he would say that. Didn't he even hate him anymore?

"I'm sorry...Xiao Xu, Dad... Dad is not a qualified father and has not taken good care of you."

Zou Xu's dark and deep eyes looked at Zou Yan, who was wearing a suit and looked like a successful man in front of him. He had always been a superior, but he was almost apologizing to him in tears. How could Zou Xu not be moved?

But even so, he still wouldn't happily act out the scene of loving father and filial son with him. What's past is past, and there's no way to revive it.

Zou Xu looked at him and said slowly in a cold voice:

“You don’t have to say that, because I look pretty good now.”

Yes, as outstanding as he is, even without Zou Yan’s care along the way, he would still become a leader among his peers.

Zou Yan nodded and wiped the tears that were about to overflow from his eyes. He was old and was really embarrassed to cry in front of his children.

He tried his best to hold back his tears and said softly:

"Dad doesn't ask for your forgiveness. If you have anything you want or want to do, just tell Dad and I'll give it to you, okay?"

Just think of it as making up for the guilt in his heart and making amends for the past.

After several seconds, Zou Xu slowly spoke:

“I do have something I want, but you may not agree.”

"Xiao Xu, no matter what you do, Dad will support you and agree with you."

Seeing him say this, Zou Xu's eyes deepened a little, and he replied calmly:

"Um"

Then, he was about to get up and leave. Zou Yan watched him get up and said hurriedly:

"Is the money enough for you? If not, dad will give you some money."

“No, that’s enough.”

After Zou Xu finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the study, closing the door. His eyes fell on the door handle. His mood was indescribably complicated, but he felt a lot more relaxed than before.

The next day, several cameras were set up at the competition site, filming the contestants to ensure absolute fairness and justice.

Zou Xu in the camera was wearing a white T-shirt and gray casual pants, and his cool aura charmed many viewers in the live broadcast room.

"Wow, not only is he so handsome, but he's also so outstanding. Oh, God, can you please give him to me? Even if it means driving a luxury car and living in a mansion, I'll be willing!"

"Are you awake, upstairs?"

“No eating and taking”

"I heard that this Zou Xu is the son of Chairman Zou Yan. He is truly a winner in life."

"Oh my god, I came to the human world to make up the numbers"

"The contestants are all very serious, come on, come on!"

Shen Youan sat in the car, reading the comments, laughing so hard that he leaned on the back seat, his hair messy.

The final result was without a doubt that Zou Xu advanced to the semi-finals with full marks. Only Li Yuan from the same school as Zou Xu successfully advanced, and the number of people who advanced was 10.

After the live broadcast was closed, the people inside were about to come out, so Shen Youan took the lilies he had bought in advance and went to greet them.

There were a lot of people at the stadium entrance, most of them were reporters, almost blocking the entrance. Perhaps it was because of the two trending searches about Zou Xu that made them smell the hot topic.

As expected, as soon as Zou Xu came out, the crowd began to stir, and some reporters, unable to contain themselves, rushed over and asked:

"Hello, Zou Xu. Were you nervous during the competition? How do you feel about advancing with a perfect score?"

"Hello, do you have enough confidence for the next round of competition?"

"Hello, what are your thoughts on the recent trending searches? Do you have any guesses as to who maliciously spread them?"

Facing these reporters' questions, Zou Xu felt irritated and said with a frown:

“Sorry, no interviews.”

Then he walked towards the person who was not far away and was holding flowers and looking at him intently.

Because Zou Xu looked difficult to deal with and had a sullen face, the reporters didn't dare to stop him and let him go.

Shen Youan looked at Zou Xu who came to him through the crowd, handed him the flowers with a smile, and congratulated him:

"Congratulations to Brother Chenggong for advancing to the semi-finals. These are the flowers I bought for him."

"Well, thank you An An."

The unhappiness on Zou Xu's face faded, replaced by gentleness. He reached out to take the bouquet, put his other hand around Shen Youan's shoulders, and left.

There was a girl not far away who took two photos of the two people. Then the photos were printed out. She took the printed photos, looked at them carefully, and was very satisfied. After all, the two people looked so outstanding that they looked good no matter how they were photographed.

After reading it, she quickly ran over, stopped the two before they got into the car, and handed them the freshly printed photos.

"Hey everyone, this is what I took for you over there just now. I hope you like it."

The girl handed over the photo with a smile, but she was still a little nervous. After all, some people don't like being photographed, and she was not a reporter.

Shen Youan took the photos and looked at them carefully. One photo showed him smiling and handing the bouquet to Zou Xu, and the other showed Zou Xu hugging him and leaving. At that time, Zou Xu tilted his head slightly and moved closer to him. The two looked very close, and the composition was also very good.

And what they were wearing today looked like matching outfits, Shen Youan just realized it now.

Shen Youan said to the girl in front of him with his eyes shining:

“Thank you, you took a great photo, we like it very much.”

Zou Xu also saw the two photos. They were indeed taken very well. The person in his arms was sticking to him obediently, as if she belonged to him.

"Thank you"

Zou Xu also followed Shen Youan and expressed his gratitude.

The girl was very flattered. She was a small blogger and was originally planning to go out to take photos with her friends. However, when she passed by here and saw a lot of people, she stopped for a moment. Then, she saw Zou Xu coming out and Shen Youan holding flowers here.

At that time, she was wondering whether the obedient boy holding the lilies was waiting for the cool boy with a cold face.

As a result, her guess was right, so there were these two photos. And based on her many years of observation, the relationship between the two people should not be simple.

"Hahaha, you're welcome. Are you a couple? By the way, you two look so good together. Um... can I keep the photo?"

"Thank you for the compliment. You are very beautiful too. You can keep the photo. Also, can I add your contact information? When the time comes, can you send me the base photo?"

Shen Youan took out his cell phone and wanted to add the contact information of the girl in front of him and ask for a photo.

Girl: !!! I’m flattered again

"Ok, Ok!"

After Qi Zhenzhen finished speaking, she quickly took out her cell phone and the two of them added each other.

Zou Xu next to him lowered his head slightly, pursed his lips, and said nothing. Qi Zhenzhen's words echoed in his mind: Are you a couple?

Zou Xu glanced at the top of Shen Youan's head. He answered so many questions but missed that one sentence. Tsk!

Zou Xu's face was expressionless at this moment, but his heart was not calm at all.
