I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 261 Shouldn't I let my daughter succeed me?

Liu Wei leaned back in her chair, crossed her arms, pouted, and said:

"Every time I give you your allowance, I tell you not to spend money on games, but you don't listen..."

"not me..."

Zhou Heng was speechless for a moment, then swallowed hard...

Then, he slowly sat down, looked at Liu Wei, and asked:

"So, Mom... what do you do?"

Liu Wei shook her head and handed a business card to Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng reached out and shakily picked it up...

Huzhou Tianheng Electronic Technology Co., Ltd....

"No, no...you two...you kept this from me for so long?! No wonder you arranged for me to move out on my own so early on...I guessed my family had some money from our business, but...I didn't expect them to be this rich?!"

Zhou Heng tossed the business card aside, frowned, tilted his head, and spoke loudly.

He's always been a very emotionally stable person, but now... it's like he's about to explode...

Zhou Junyao said calmly, "I'm afraid you'll develop a bad view of money, which will hinder your growth."

"No...you guys are really good at pretending, aren't you? Every time my mom comes to give me living expenses, I can't tell at all...she doesn't have any expensive jewelry, she doesn't drive any luxury car, and she brings warm clothes, snacks, and fruit...who would guess that she's...a big boss?"

Liu Wei tilted her head, gasped, and said, "How is this pretending? Isn't this what a mother should do?"

"Do you even remember how you painstakingly advised me to study hard back then... you said it so earnestly... talking about future prospects and all that, all that... was it all an act? I didn't really need to study hard at all, did I? With so much money, what's with all this talk about future prospects..."

Zhou Heng's voice trailed off as he saw his parents staring at him with icy eyes...

He pursed his lips, slowly sat down, and immediately became quiet, not daring to speak...

Zhou Junyao took a sip of water and said coldly, "Do you think your idea is right?"

"I..."

"You don't study properly, all you do is play games all day. You want me to take my place? Am I crazy? What are you thinking?"

"My... idea... was wrong."

Zhou Heng lowered his head and shook it.

"To be honest, when you first entered high school, I never intended for you to take my place. You disappointed me greatly. Fortunately, you came to your senses later, and that's when I told you about it. But now you're saying there's no need to study hard? Do you expect me to let you squander the family fortune?"

After hearing his father's words, Zhou Heng finally understood why his father had called him during the Chinese New Year...

I've never played before, maybe because I've given up on myself...

After meeting Yin Mengran, he played fewer games and started studying hard.

His grades improved significantly and his ranking rose rapidly, which is probably why he has renewed expectations for himself...

"I know, I misspoke."

Zhou Heng nodded, admitting his mistake. He acknowledged that his earlier thought had been incredibly foolish.

I was just thinking that with my family being so rich and having such a powerful company, I don't have to worry about anything. I don't even need to spend money on games anymore; I can just modify the data...

But I simply don't have the ability to take over my father's position...

I have to learn so much more, it's much harder than studying in high school...

Zhou Junyao nodded, crossed his legs, and said:

"You're going to take the entrance exam for Dongzhu University, right? If you get in, then we'll talk about the rest. I've already made arrangements. Someone will teach you everything. You'll have a lot to learn, including business administration, finance, marketing, computers, foreign languages, and so on. Of course, if you don't get in, then forget it. I'll give you some money, and you can make it on your own."

"I go..."

Zhou Heng's lips twitched; he could already imagine how exhausted he would be...

I thought university would be easier, but it turns out high school was the easiest time...

But I can't just not learn; if I want to inherit such a large company, I definitely have to put in the corresponding effort...

This is an immense pressure for me...

Yin Mengran listened quietly to the sound, equally surprised, but she didn't show it...

She couldn't believe that her family was so powerful...

Then myself...

"Honey, what are you planning to do in the future?"

At this moment, Liu Wei suddenly spoke up, asking Yin Mengran, who was standing to the side,

Yin Mengran was slightly taken aback, blinked, and stared blankly for a moment.

"Ah...I...I will definitely study hard, and then find a good job, or help Zhou Heng relieve some of his burden, I'll do anything..."

She didn't know how to answer for a moment. What did she plan to do in the future?

Of course she'd do anything. Before meeting Zhou Heng, she was prepared to live her life haphazardly and had no ambition whatsoever.

But after meeting Zhou Heng, he just wanted to do something for him...

Even if it's just taking care of Zhou Heng at home, doing laundry and cooking, it's fine.

Liu Wei nodded, smiled slightly, and whispered in Yin Mengran's ear, "Then...would you be willing to take my place?"

"Uh?!"

These words stunned both Yin Mengran and Zhou Heng, their eyes widening in disbelief...

Liu Wei hadn't originally planned to say anything now, fearing it would put pressure on Yin Mengran, but seeing that Zhou Junyao had already been honest with Zhou Heng,

I should just tell Yin Mengran directly, so that the two of them can work together.

After a moment, the stunned Yin Mengran came to her senses and quickly shook her head:

"No, no, no... how could I..."

"Why not? Shouldn't I let my daughter succeed me?"

Yin Mengran clasped her hands together, fidgeting uncomfortably with them, and muttered to herself:

"But...I'm not your...biological child..."

Liu Wei grasped Yin Mengran's hand tightly and whispered:

"So what if we're not related by blood? Does that mean you're not my daughter? But no matter what, you're still my daughter-in-law, right? Why can't you be?"

"I...but..."

Yin Mengran still felt something was amiss; it wasn't that she had any particular thoughts about it.

I just feel that, according to blood relations, I am ultimately an outsider, so is it too much to trust someone to inherit the family business?

At this moment, she felt the immense love and pressure, no less than Zhou Heng's...

"My sweetheart, you're the only suitable candidate. Do you accept?"
