The heavens set sail from the courtyard

After meeting Huang Yime, Zhuang Guodong left Shanghai and returned to his home in the capital.

The reason he went to see Huang Yime this time was actually to cut off the last bit of thought in his heart, but after he saw Huang Yime's belly, he still felt nameless anger in his heart, and then he couldn't control himself and said those words against his will.

When Huang Yimei was sent to the hospital, Zhuang Guodong wanted to go with her, but when he saw how nervous Fang Xiewen was about Huang Yimei, he became jealous and finally went to the airport.

Zhuang Guodong, feeling very angry, returned home and found that the lights were on and his parents were with him.

"Son, you're back?" Zhuang's mother was dressed in fancy clothes and looked very fashionable. When she saw her son, she rushed over and gave him a big hug.

Zhuang's father was restrained. He sat there without moving. Instead, he said to his wife in a sarcastic tone: "You went to France for a few years and learned a lot of bad habits from foreigners. What's the use of hugging and cuddling?"

Zhuang's mother said proudly: "What's wrong with me hugging my son?"

Zhuang's father snorted and said, "A grown-up son doesn't know how to avoid his mother!"

Mother Zhuang said angrily: "Mr. Zhuang, I haven't seen my son for a long time. What's wrong with a hug? How dare you object?"

Zhuang Guodong felt a headache when he saw his parents were about to quarrel when they met.

Zhuang's father and mother have been separated for ten years. Zhuang's mother went to France to work hard and is now the owner of a modeling company and is very successful in her career.

Zhuang's father is just the opposite. He is a writer, but he has no outstanding works. He has difficulty supporting himself and is far from being able to compare with his wife financially.

When Zhuang Guodong was young, his mother despised his father for his lack of ambition and inability to support his wife and children, so she went to France on her own to work hard and create a career.

Over the years, Zhuang's mother has become more and more disgusted with Zhuang's father. It's not that she has never thought about divorce, but Zhuang's father has been dragging it out.

The purpose of Zhuang's mother's return to China this time was to go through the divorce procedures with Zhuang's father and take her son to France.

"Son, come with me to France! I know the job you applied for before fell through. We have our own company, and you can come to work in your company." Zhuang's mother persuaded.

"Mom, I still have things to do. Once I'm done, I'll go to France." Zhuang Guodong said firmly.

"Do you have something to do and can't leave, or is there someone who doesn't want to leave?" Zhuang's mother said with a smile:
"I tell you, the most important thing for a man is his career. As long as he is successful in his career, he can get any woman he wants. Don't lose the big picture for the small."

When Zhuang's father heard his ex-wife's theory, he rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it! Don't teach your son bad things. What's so good about foreign countries? Is the moon rounder? I think China is good enough."

Zhuang's mother said disdainfully: "Mr. Zhuang, what do you know? Do you want your son to be like you all his life, accomplishing nothing, wasting his time all day, and writing novels that no one reads?"

Zhuang's father said anxiously, "Who said no one reads my novel? I just got nominated for a writing award. Maybe I'll be a famous writer tomorrow."

Zhuang's mother said disdainfully: "Those sad articles have no market now. Even if they win awards, no one will read them."

"Mom and Dad, stop arguing. I can take care of my own affairs myself." Zhuang Guodong said impatiently.

Mother Zhuang looked at Zhuang Guodong deeply and said, "Son, you still want to hide it from me. I know you like a girl, and you have stayed in the capital for her."

Zhuang's father said happily: "Is my son in love? Who is the girl? Bring her home to show us when you have time."

Zhuang Guodong frowned and said, "I'm not in a relationship, and I don't have a girlfriend."

Father Zhuang was stunned. He heard a hint of resentment in his son's tone.

Zhuang's mother smiled and said, "That's right! Women are nothing. You've had a lot of girlfriends before, and you change women faster than my company changes models. You can't let women affect your career."

Zhuang's father disagreed and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Was my son in love before? He was just playing with women. He was always influenced by you when he was sincere to any girl."

Zhuang's mother said indifferently: "What's wrong with my son being like me? As long as you have money, you can find any woman. I can still find a 20-year-old boy at the age of 50. This is also a skill!"

Father Zhuang snorted coldly: "You are capable. All of your boyfriends are after your money. When you take them out, people who know them will think they are a couple, and those who don't know them will think they are mother and son."

Zhuang's mother said angrily, "Mr. Zhuang, we have already completed the divorce procedures. You have no right to interfere with me now. What's wrong with me wanting to find a 20-year-old girl? If you have the ability, go find an 18-year-old girl." Zhuang's father said disdainfully, "I'm not as old as you. The powder on your face is almost a foot thick!"

Seeing his parents about to quarrel, Zhuang Guodong said impatiently: "That's enough, can you please stop quarreling every time you meet?"

At this time, Zhuang's mother also realized that something was wrong with her son. In the past, no matter how fiercely they quarreled, her son would endure it silently and would never lose his temper like he did today.

"Son, what's wrong with you? Have you been wronged at work?" Zhuang's mother asked with concern, "I heard that Mr. Teng fired you. Do you want me to help you?"

Zhuang Guodong remained silent. His father guessed, "It's obvious that my son's problem isn't with work. At his age, it should be a relationship problem."

This time, Zhuang's mother did not argue with her ex-husband, but just looked at her son with concern.

"Mom, can you lend me some money?" Zhuang Guodong asked after a long time.

"How much do you want?"

"Two million." Zhuang Guodong said after thinking for a while.

"So much?" Zhuang's mother asked in surprise: "Why do you need so much money?"

"Don't ask so many questions. I will return the money to you as soon as possible." Zhuang Guodong said impatiently.

Zhuang's father said nervously: "Son, what happened to you? If you don't explain clearly, I can't lend you the money."

For the first time, Zhuang's mother agreed with her ex-husband's opinion and looked at her son with concern.

Zhuang Guodong was getting impatient from being stared at, and said, "Forget it if you don't want to lend it to me. I'll find a way myself."

After hearing what their son said, Zhuang's father and mother became even more worried.

Zhuang Guodong sent his parents away and then made a phone call.

"Thomas, you can hire a lawyer to file a lawsuit against Zhou Shihui in court. I will arrange for media interviews and make the matter as big as possible. Then you can just say what we agreed on in advance."

"If this matter really goes to court, it will soon be discovered that it was me who plagiarized Zhou Shihui, not him who plagiarized me," Thomas said worriedly.

"Don't be afraid. You are in France. Just wait for a while. After things have fermented, you can withdraw the lawsuit to the court. This happened in China and will not affect you abroad." Zhuang Guodong said with a smile.

"What if Zhou Shihui takes revenge on me?" Thomas said worriedly.

"You don't have to worry about Zhou Shihui. He's just a painter. At most, he owns an exhibition company. Can he go abroad to take revenge on you?"

"I will transfer the second payment to your account as scheduled. As long as you do as I say, I guarantee you will get out of this unscathed!"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, then he said, "Zhuang, what is your purpose in fabricating false evidence and accusing Zhou Shihui of plagiarism?"

Zhuang Guodong said viciously: "I just want to destroy Zhou Shihui's reputation. I want him to never get ahead in the industry again!"

Thomas asked: "When will the second payment be paid to me?"

Zhuang Guodong said impatiently: "Very soon, don't worry, we are old classmates, how can I owe you anything?"

Thomas said suspiciously, "Zhuang, I took a big risk helping you. I want to increase the price. I want to increase the original agreed amount by 20%."

"You!" Zhuang Guodong was furious, but now that things had come to this, he couldn't give up halfway.

"Okay, I promise you." Zhuang Guodong gritted his teeth and said. (End of this chapter)
