Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

Chapter 440 - : Stimulant


Chapter 440: Stimulant

Zhou Weiqi took some time to return to his senses only to be stunned by Lu Xingzhi’s words.

He had an inkling as to what was happening when Jiang Yao asked him to decide for Du Chen’s operation; with Lu Xingzhi’s explanation, Zhou Weiqi was presently feeling tears form in his eyes.

Even Jiang Yao, who only knew him for a month or so, treated him better than the Zhou family did.

Zhou Weiqi had always thought that he was not an emotional man but right now his heart was bursting with gratitude toward Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi for their effort and kindness.

“Weiqi, you’re not young anymore. We have nothing on you if you want to spend the rest of your life in the Zhou family. Otherwise, you have to cut them off completely.” Chen Xuyao patted Zhou Weiqi’s shoulder and continued, “Even Jiang Yao knows it; the Zhou family is only going to bring you down.”

Noticing Zhou Weiqi’s hesitation, Jiang Yao was reminded of the fact that he made a pact with his late mother before her passing. It was easy to see that she was very important to him.

He was a filial son and respected his mother’s decision. With that, he wasted his time away in the Zhou family, leading to outsiders’ perception that he was a lazy good-for-nothing.

“Weiqi, do you remember Zhang Lanxiang?” Jiang Yao decided that Zhou Weiqi needed something far stronger. “Do you know why Mrs. Zhou wants you to marry Zhang Lanxiang all of a sudden?”

“You know?” Zhou Weiqi and Chen Xuyao asked together.

“Just found out today.” Jiang Yao nodded. “I overheard Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Ning’s conversation at the hospital earlier today. Zhang Lanxiang is pregnant, and the father is none other than your brother. He has to marry a woman with good social standing though, yet he could not bear to live separated from Zhang Lanxiang and their child. They decided that marrying Zhang Lanxiang off to you was the best solution to their predicament.”

“Damn it! Disgusting!” Chen Xuyao almost shouted in anger only to realize at the last moment that it was a little inappropriate and lowered his voice instead.

Disgusting could not even cut it; it was just pure evil.

Zhou Weiqi’s face showed signs of surprise. He previously came up with many theories, but he did not expect it to be this.

“Killing two birds with one stone, wonderful strategy!” Lu Xingzhi was very tempted to praise Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Ning for their brilliance. “They have you marry Zhang Lanxiang so that your dad cannot look for a woman with a higher social standing to be your wife. It is a pretty good idea if you ask me; Zhang Lanxiang and Zhou Changkang can get intimate whenever they want. With this, Weiqi will not have his own offspring. It really is a good plan.”

If Zhou Weiqi believed the child in Zhang Lanxiang’s tummy to be his own child, when he inherited the family fortune, the inheritance would ultimately get passed down to Zhou Changkang’s child instead.

To ensure that Zhou Weiqi would unquestionably regard Zhang Lanxiang’s fetus as his own child, Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Ning would surely come up with a plan for Zhou Weiqi to have relations with Zhang Lanxiang.

Yet, for it to actually happen was impossible knowing Zhou Changkang’s character. They would possibly have a random woman replace Zhang Lanxiang in the process, duping Zhou Weiqi into believing that the woman was Zhang Lanxiang herself.

The mother-daughter duo, Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Ning, was a potent one, coming up with so many devious tricks and schemes.

“I’ll have people monitor the Zhou family.” Chen Xuyao’s expression darkened and immediately left the hall for a phone call.

“Weiqi, think long and hard for yourself. Is the Zhou family worth all the struggles you have to go through?” Lu Xingzhi asked and allowed his eyes to wander onto the stage.
