Reborn in 2015, I became a male god starting in high school.

Chapter 56 Poor parents in the world
Zhou Guowei stared at the time, wondering when the guests would arrive.

Xu Qing, on the other hand, exchanged a few polite words with Zhou Ziyang, making it seem as if the two had a very good relationship.

As for Xia Wei, she wore a blue and white porcelain-colored dress and had her hair tied in a ponytail. She looked fresh and clean, still retaining the innocence of a high school girl.

When Zhou Ziyang and Xia Wei's eyes met, they both nodded to each other.

The love between young boys and girls comes and goes quickly.

A few months ago, some of Zhou Ziyang's actions did indeed make Xia Wei lose her way.

But it's already September, and the two of them haven't been in contact for months.

Perhaps in the quiet of the night, Xia Wei will think of Zhou Ziyang.

But then Xia Wei thought about what Zhou Ziyang had done to her, and she realized that Zhou Ziyang did not like her.

It's possible that the two of them will never be together in this lifetime.

So when their eyes met, Xia Wei's reaction was much more subdued.

Xu Qing, seeing Zhou Ziyang greeting his daughter, immediately smiled and went over to invite Zhou Ziyang to sit down, asking if he had gone to school to register.
Xu Qing is not Zhou Ziyang's stepmother.

However, she adopted the airs of a stepmother, reaching out to affectionately put her arm around Zhou Ziyang's and chatting with him familiarly.

Xu Qing knew everything about what Zhou Ziyang had been up to lately: he had gone to Jinling University, and then used the money he earned from writing novels to buy a BMW.

Xu Qing said with a smile, "Ziyang, you're really amazing."

"From now on, you and Weiwei will be in the same school. You'll have to take good care of Weiwei. You two are like siblings."

Despite all of the above, Xu Qing still looked down on Zhou Ziyang.

Because he comes from a single-parent family, and Zhou Ziyang's mother is notoriously rude.

Of course, Xu Qing also had her own selfish motives.

Perhaps she had a preconceived notion that Zhou Ziyang was not good enough for her precious daughter.

And their precious daughter is destined to marry well.

Zhou Ziyang found this laughable and said, "Then Aunt Xu, you're wrong. Sister Weiwei is two months older than me, so she should be the one taking care of me."

Xu Qing opened her mouth slightly, feigning surprise, and said, "Really?"

"I didn't know that either, but you're more capable than Weiwei, and you're a boy, so you should take better care of her."

Zhou Ziyang chuckled softly upon hearing this and remained silent.

As they were talking, the door to the private room was opened.

Then a tall woman wearing a beige short trench coat walked gracefully into the room.

The woman looked very young, yet she possessed a mature charm. She appeared to be under thirty, with her hair styled in a bun and wearing black-rimmed metal glasses. She had a delicate and fair oval face.

Her slender, almond-shaped eyes were upturned and her thin lips were painted with a mauve lipstick.

She had bright eyes and white teeth, and was carrying a black briefcase without a logo. Underneath her trench coat was a white shirt, paired with women's trousers that were cropped to her ankles and hugged her thighs. She wore high heels.

The framed glasses gave her a sharp look, and she quickly noticed Zhou Guowei getting up after opening the door.

A slight smile appeared on her lips: "Senior brother, it's been a long time."

When Zhou Guowei saw the woman in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Su, Su Ya?"

"What? It's only been a few years, and you don't recognize me, senior brother?" Su Ya placed her black briefcase on a cabinet to the side and took off her trench coat.

Suya's figure is almost perfect. Her style of dress is typical of those working in the system: a shirt and thin pants. The white shirt is tucked into the pants, which makes her waist look even slimmer, and her breasts are round and full.

Suya looks to be around thirty years old, maybe not even thirty, around twenty-eight or twenty-nine.

She and Zhou Guowei weren't classmates at school; they met during training. At a young age, she was already the vice dean of the college. A woman like her had a future that Zhou Guowei couldn't even dream of.

Zhou Guowei never expected that the capable and efficient career woman in front of him was actually his junior colleague from a few years ago.

Zhou Guowei had always thought that Xu Qing was one of the prettiest girls in the small county, but compared to Su Ya, there was no comparison at all. Even Zhou Guowei couldn't help but say, "You've changed so much since then."

"I've gotten older. Since I started working, I feel like I have more wrinkles on my face." Su Ya said with a calm smile, "Let's sit down first."

Zhou Guowei nodded. Before coming, he had already explained the situation to Su Ya, and Su Ya understood. She had heard that her senior's child had been admitted to Jinling University.

Suya thought it was amazing.

The student surpasses the teacher.

After everyone was seated, Zhou Guowei began to introduce Zhou Ziyang.

“Xia Wei, this,” Zhou Guowei didn’t know how to introduce Xia Wei for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, “This is his aunt’s daughter, who was raised by his side just like my daughter. She also got into Jinling University.”

Su Ya listened with approval and said, "Then you have double happiness, Senior Brother."

"I've often heard Guowei mention you. You're much prettier in person than in the photos." When Zhou Guowei introduced Xu Qing, Xu Qing immediately smiled and went over to shake hands, and quickly told Xia Wei to call someone over.

"Quick, call her aunt."

The word "Auntie" made Xia Wei fall silent for a moment, because the woman in front of her looked very young, and it seemed a bit too early to call her "Auntie".

However, urged by her mother, Xia Wei hesitated for a moment before calling her aunt.

Suya didn't object to the title. After entering the workforce, many seniority distinctions aren't based on age.

"This child is shy. It must be because you look too beautiful that she's embarrassed," Xu Qing said with a smile.

Xia Wei felt uneasy about her mother's words and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Ziyang again. Because Xu Qing's eating manners were so unseemly, Xia Wei thought that this would definitely make Zhou Ziyang look down on her.

Zhou Ziyang, however, didn't have that many thoughts.

Now he knew who Xia Wei had learned her style from in her previous life—it was the woman in front of him who had influenced her so much.

Xu Qing was busy paving the way for her daughter, which made Zhou Ziyang seem a bit impolite.

Xu Qing said, "I heard from Guowei that you work at the School of Architecture at Nanjing University."

“My daughter Weiwei is studying architecture, so you’ll have to take good care of her,” Xu Qing said.

In fact, Su Ya did not know the identity of the woman in front of her, but since she was brought by Zhou Guowei, she did not say anything.

Until Xu Qing took out a beautifully packaged face mask set, she said, "I don't know what you need."

"I've been using this face mask for a while now, and it works really well."

This face mask set costs around three thousand yuan.

Suya felt a little embarrassed when she saw the gift and said apologetically, "I don't use face masks."

"Well, you can give it a try. It's really effective, and it's not an expensive gift." With that, Xu Qing pushed the face mask towards Su Ya.

Su Ya simply chuckled and looked up at Zhou Guowei, asking, "Senior brother, how is Sister Juan doing lately?"

Zhou Guowei sighed: "Let's keep it the same."

“That’s just how Sister Juan is. The relationship between husband and wife is actually the same as working. If you’re in a hurry, you can slow down; if you’re in a slow down, you can work things out.” Su Ya then sat down at the table, leaving Xu Qing standing to the side.

Seeing this, Zhou Ziyang couldn't help but laugh.

Good heavens, why did Zhou Ziyang think of how he treated Xia Wei in his past life?

It turns out they learned it all from this woman.

But their skill level is much higher.

Xia Wei felt even more ashamed of her mother's behavior when she saw Zhou Ziyang secretly laughing over there.

She couldn't help but secretly tug at her mother's sleeve, signaling that it was enough.

Instead, she was met with a fierce glare from her mother.

What a foolish girl, it's not about paving the way for her.

Did I really have to do this to myself?

This girl actually thinks she's ashamed?
