Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Zhou Guobin told his son, "You don't need to stand up."

"Your mom and I just came to see you and let you know that we're going back."

Zhou Yuwen was a bit surprised: "Going back already? I was thinking of taking you around nearby in a bit."

Zhou Yuwen wasn't just being polite here; since his parents arrived three days ago, he hadn't properly spent time with them due to the issues with Su Qing and Jiang Xinyi.

But Zhou Guobin simply shook his head. Chinese parents don't express emotions with words, but as Zhou Guobin looked at his son, now taller than him in a suit.

Zhou Guobin thought of those words fathers often say to sons in movies, "I'm proud of you."

Though these words didn't come out, his gaze already expressed them.

Before coming to Jinling, the old couple had many worries because, in their eyes, their son was just an ordinary person, only nineteen, who suddenly got sixty million in wealth. How did he get it? Was there some manipulative person behind it?

It wasn't until they saw Zhou Yuwen, saw every employee in the grand office building looking at him with genuine admiration, that Zhou Guobin realized this sudden sixty million wasn't so sudden after all; it's something their son could truly handle.

With that, Zhou Guobin felt relieved.

Zhou Yuwen continued trying to convince his parents to stay in Jinling a few more days, since there was a big villa anyway.

However, his parents seemed to have made up their minds to go back. Even Zhou Yuwen's mother mentioned that they only asked for three days off from work, and there were still many things left to do.

For their son, Zhou Yuwen, they had no big demands, just hoping that in matters of the heart, he could handle things well, no matter whether he chose Su Qing or Jiang Xinyi.

"Mom and Dad will support you."

Upon saying this, Yang Lijuan hesitated but couldn't help pulling Zhou Yuwen aside, whispering that if there was a choice, it would be best to choose little Su.

"That child cares about you. We're just ordinary folks' kids, looking for someone who understands and cares. That young lady always seems so high up, not the same type as us," Yang Lijuan said.

Her voice was soft enough, but Zhou Guobin still overheard. He couldn't help but frown, saying, "Let our son's matters be."

In Zhou Guobin's view, Yang Lijuan, being an ordinary woman, naturally felt distant from Jiang Xinyi, but he could see that their son didn't have that class distance.

Zhou Yuwen listened to his parents bickering and just smiled.

Afterward, the three of them chatted for a while more.

They planned to have lunch together at noon, then his father would drive away with his wife.

The previous night's shattered look in Su Qing's eyes left a deep impression on everyone, including Yang Lijuan.

To be honest, originally, Yang Lijuan didn't think much of Su Qing, but after that day, recalling Su Qing's gaze, she couldn't let it go.

She sent Su Qing a message while in Zhou Yuwen's company.

She said, "Little Su, your uncle and I are leaving soon; why don't we have lunch together at noon?"

This was an opportunity for Su Qing and Zhou Yuwen to clear the air. Previously, Su Qing would have jumped at the chance.

It only took about a minute.

Su Qing quickly replied.

"No need, Auntie, I have a lot to handle here. Let Zhou Yuwen spend time with you guys (smile)."

A few seconds later.

Su Qing sent another message: "Safe travels to you (rose)."

Pleasantly polite, yet so distant.

Yang Lijuan showed the phone to Zhou Yuwen. After reading it, he felt a ripple in his heart, but quickly joked with his mother, saying, "Mom, really, she's not my girlfriend anymore. If you keep bothering her, who wouldn't be upset?" Note from the editor: Always check MV2LEMPYR for corrections.

"You!"

Yang Lijuan rolled her eyes at this remark.

During the lunch gathering, Zhou Yuwen brought Tao Tian along, and later called Peng Xiaoyong and Lu Wanting over, making six in total, booking a small private room at a nearby restaurant.

The meal went smoothly. Zhou Guobin mainly encouraged Zhou Yuwen and Peng Xiaoyong, mentioning family support, hoping Zhou Yuwen could assist Peng Xiaoyong and vice versa.

Both agreed. Since the last villa party, Peng Xiaoyong's attitude towards Zhou Yuwen had noticeably changed. Even during yesterday's outing, he was busy attending and served Zhou Guobin well.

Lu Wanting remained vibrant and youthful. Since it was for an outing, she dressed casually in a pink V-neck blouse paired with white shorts, her slim long legs in gray stockings.

Her soft tone, influenced by her time in South Asia, made her endearing to Zhou Guobin and his wife. Their only concern was they always thought Lu Wanting was Peng Xiaoyong's girlfriend.

But during their outing day, they noticed Lu Wanting continuously leaning toward their son, lacking any sense of boundary.

For example, when they went to Zhongshan Scenic Spot that day.

In May or June, the Zhongshan Scenic Spot would be at its most beautiful, with grand sycamore trees lush and green, drawing tourists from all over the country to visit.
