Chapter 1023 wily family trump card
Zhou Lan's request made Xia Ruisi immediately embarrassed.
If Smith Zhou is an annoying guy, then there is nothing to do to him. But he is not annoying, and he is also the biological father of his brother. As a junior, she really cannot do what her mother asked for. So she could only stand there tidyly and then smiled awkwardly at Smith Zhou.
Smith Zhou naturally had no intention of making it difficult for her to do such a difficult junior. At that moment, he showed an understanding smile to Xia Ruisi, and then said to Zhou Lan.
"Alan. Is it necessary to slander me to this level?"
"Of course there is. Smith Zhou, you are definitely uneasy. I warn you, don't even think about it."
What Zhou Lan fears most now is that Zhou Yi's father suddenly appeared snatched his son away from him. Although she didn't believe that her son would leave him like this, it was like there was a thief around her, so you couldn't feel relieved.
Xia Ruisi felt a little unreasonable about the issue that Zhou Lan was worried about. However, for Smith Zhou, who did have some special thoughts, her concern was not unreasonable. He came here this time to hope to get an identity, an identity that could allow him to reach a reconciliation and cognition with his son. It is best to get this identity from Zhou Lan. If it doesn't work, it is not a big problem.
The key to this question is Zhou Yi's attitude. Zhou Lan's attitude is just a shortcut. What really determines all this is Zhou Yi's choice. What will he make? This answer was not optimistic in Smith and Zhou's eyes at first.
From the beginning, when he had private contact with Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi's attitude was very clear. He did not welcome the return of this father, and even warned him and asked him to stay away from his family.
For Smith and Zhou, this is naturally impossible. Not to mention that Zhou Yi is his son, but he has also given him a grandson. The power that Zhou Yi possesses is an extremely important part of his plan. He does not expect Zhou Yi to support him and join his plan. But at least, he also wants to keep Zhou Yi basic neutrality and not to casually get involved in places he shouldn't be involved just because his friends have any requirements.
He had to put a chain on Zhou Yi and draw a forbidden zone for him. Over the years, through his research on his son's behavior, he had already seen his weakness clearly and found the most suitable shackle based on this weakness.
Family affection is the most effective shackle he imagined for his son's personality.
Smith Zhou knew his son well, but he was able to understand him roughly. In his opinion, his son was full of women's kindness. For the sake of the group of women and children around him, he could even leave everything behind and stand opposite the whole world.
He clearly has the power to control the whole world and makes the whole world surrender because of the power he possesses, but just because he indulged in this kind of gentleness, he gave up everything. This is simply foolish.
But this also provided him with an opportunity. Because if this were not the case, his plan would probably become a long way from now on if it were to be realized.
What he has to do now is to make himself accepted by Zhou Yi and become an important relative around him who can be recognized and valued by him. Not to mention that the mother who gave birth to him and raised him, at least he would be an unscathed father. He believed that as long as his father's identity could be recognized by Zhou Yi, even if he clearly shows his identity and fights with the entire human race in the future, Zhou Yi will not stand against him.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Zhou Yi wants to accept him.
After studying his son's family background, Smith Zhou drew three lines of defense for himself. The first is Zhou Lan, the woman who was abandoned by him but gave birth to Zhou Yi, the son. He originally wanted to use the feelings between them and the lies he made up to restructure his relationship with this woman, but now it seems that things are not as smooth as he imagined.
The second is Zhou Yi's wife and children. At this point, he has already gained a subtle advantage.
He was already grateful to Zhou Yi, who was unconscious, to this home safely, and he was already grateful to Zhou Yi's women. When his identity was announced, this kind of gratitude naturally rose to a kind of favor and intimacy for his family. Although Qin, who was most afraid of by him, still had some hesitation. But he believed that it was not a problem. As long as he was given enough time, these could be solved.
Then the only thing left is the third line of defense. This line of defense is Zhou Yi's sister.
Although she is a sister, Xia Ruisi and Smith and Zhou themselves have no blood relationship. She is the child of Zhou Lan and another man. It can be said that if it is not necessary, Smith and Zhou themselves are not willing to accept such a special existence. However, her existence is necessary.
Because in his investigation, Zhou Yi was on the side of the mutant at the beginning and was the main reason why he was willing to be an enemy of the entire human race was his sister. He loved this sister very much, not even worse than pampering his own children. This made the girl's attitude have the ability to change Zhou Yi's views. If she was willing to admit her existence, then it would not be impossible to offset the hostility from Zhou Lan and even go further.
So at that moment, Smith Zhou looked amused and cried, avoiding Zhou Lan's warning gaze that he had cast to him. Then he looked at Xia Ruisi and said gently to her.
"Don't listen to your mother's talk. I don't look like a wealthy villain who robs the custody of his son. Besides, your brother is so old that he has long had his own opinion. Even if I want to rob him, I can't rob him."
Xia Ruisi agreed with his statement very much. She even said that this was also the reason why she felt that her mother was making unreasonable trouble. Her brother's children were all runs and could make soy sauce. How could they be as powerful as she said? They were casually snatched away by such a father who came out of some unknown corner.
But after all, she was her own mother, so she didn't dare to say such sabotage. So she could only slightly raise the corners of her mouth at this time, and then blinked at Smith Zhou.
For Smith Zhou, this was a sign of close friendship. So he immediately struck while the iron was hot.
"Think carefully, this should be our first meeting. As an elder, I should have brought you a meeting gift for this kind of first meeting. It was just because I was too hasty in advance and I was not prepared. So, I have a small island in the Maldives that I have been in private name, and there is also a yacht that has just been in the sea for less than two years. I will give it to you as a meeting gift."
This way of sending yachts to a small island is a bit too exaggerated. It is not enough to know that yachts are just a little bit too much. For example, private islands, especially private islands in the Maldives, are no longer something that ordinary rich people can get. Without a certain amount of power and status, they are not qualified to earn these. And if what Smith Zhou said is true, then what he owns is probably not small.
However, such a thing can only surprise Xia Ruisi slightly. If she is shocked, it will not be too much. After all, his brother's identity is there, and it will not be a big problem if their family wants to get these things. However, she had to admit that her brother's father was too generous to take action.
If it is an ordinary gift, it would be fine if you accept it. But even if she is always careless, she knows that these are not acceptable casually. And just when she subconsciously refused, her mother called it.
"Smith, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. I just want Xia Ruisi to know that I'm not as dangerous as you said. Alan, I'll just tell you."
Speaking of this, Smith Zhou finally showed a serious look on his face.
"We have been separated for thirty years. You once had a new family and I found my own partner. So I don't expect us to be able to change back to what we were. But there is one thing that Zhou Yi is my son, which is something you can't change. I don't want to snatch him away from you, but let him know that I am his father. Is this wrong with letting him admit my existence?"
Of course this question is correct. Although Zhou Lan was unwilling to admit it, Smith Zhou was right. No matter what he said, he was Zhou Yi's father. They were two people who were naturally connected by blood, and two beings that could not be divided no matter what. Therefore, she had no reason to refuse Smith Zhou's request. Even when he asked this, Zhou Lan felt a little pity in her heart.
He hadn't seen his child for thirty years. If he had said that, he gave up the opportunity to meet them completely for the sake of his own and his children's safety. In short, he was nearly fifty years old like himself. At this age, he didn't even have a person called his father. Isn't it too sad?
As she thought about this, her heart slowly relaxed. (To be continued...)
