Chapter 1261 - Stop Right There! (1/2)

Take, for example, this case of Yun Liuli’s composite photo being sent out. If the reason Xiao Qinghai wanted to bring him back was really so that he could compete with Xiao Yuan to select the final Xiao family’s successor, if he could really suppress Xiao Yuan, then… Xiao Yuan probably wouldn’t dare to send out the photo. He would only dare to use it to disgust him…

It was because Xiao Yuan knew that Zhou Yuchen wasn’t really much of a threat to him and wasn’t to be feared that he dared to do this.

Xiao Qinghai was fuming with rage over Xiao Yuan’s matter, and his tone didn’t sound good when he picked up Zhou Yuchen’s call.

Zhou Yuchen got straight to the point, saying, “The reason he sent out that photoshopped picture of Yun Liuli is because he knows that I like Yun Liuli and wants to disgust me! Another reason is that Xiao Yuan should have heard from Old Madam Xiao that you’re trying to use me to agitate him so that he shows progress. Therefore, Xiao Yuan feels that I’m no threat and is trying to instill fear in me.”

Xiao Qinghai’s countenance turned increasingly grim.

“Last night, Xiao Yuan went back in a drunken state. He had gone to celebrate with his bunch of rogue friends. He met me and told me that he knew about everything! Therefore, I shouldn’t be of any use anymore. From today on, I won’t be going to the Xiao family…” When Zhou Yuchen said this, his lips curled up into a cold smile.

Xiao Qinghai’s face remained tense, and he didn’t say anything.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be hanging up!”

“Hold on!” Xiao Qinghai clenched his teeth and called out.

Zhou Yuchen understood Xiao Qinghai. This person… wouldn’t give up until he had met his goals.

He was gambling on the fact that Xiao Qinghai wouldn’t give up easily. After all, Zhou Yuchen was currently the only person who could stimulate Xiao Yuan’s fighting spirit!

Moreover, other than letting Zhou Yuchen stimulate Xiao Yuan to become better, Xiao Qinghai didn’t have any other way to get Xiao Yuan to become better!

In addition, Xiao Yuan already knew that they had brought Zhou Yuchen back to the Xiao family in order to agitate him. This made him certain that his status was solid and couldn’t be overthrown. He’d increasingly act like a profligate son…

Given how Xiao Qinghai had made it appear as if Xiao Yuan was the one to be chosen, this was inevitable.

To get Xiao Yuan to become serious, Xiao Qinghai would have to get Xiao Yuan to see that he really valued Zhou Yuchen in high regard. He had to make it seem as if he was really planning to choose a successor between Xiao Yuan and Zhou Yuchen. Only with this would Xiao Yuan become serious.

“Where are you right now?”

“At my home…” Zhou Yuchen replied.

“I’ll send someone over to pick you up!”

After hanging up the call, Xiao Qinghai sat at the table, smoking.

In fact, ever since Xiao Qinghai had brought Zhou Yuchen back to the Xiao family, he hadn’t really treated Zhou Yuchen seriously.

Xiao Qinghai could be said to still be wary against Zhou Yuchen. It was due to the hellish and eerie gleam that occasionally came from Zhou Yuchen’s eyes. It made Xiao Qinghai shudder.

Being overly wary against Zhou Yuchen was a sign that he didn’t recognize Zhou Yuchen… It was shown on both his face and in his actions.

With that, given how smart Xiao Yuan was, he’d definitely be able to see through it. In addition, the old madam pampered her grandchild a lot and had divulged the truth to Xiao Yuan after seeing that he was dejected. Thereafter, Xiao Yuan immediately returned to his original state.

If he really wished to trick Xiao Yuan, he would have to view Zhou Yuchen in high regard…

At the very least, Zhou Yuchen should have everything that the young master of the Xiao family should have.
