When Zhou Zhigang got home, the first thing he did was hug his eldest grandson.

As Zhou Ran's grandfather, he missed him terribly.

Li Suhua immediately went to find the newspapers and magazines where Zhou Bingkun's novels were published and threw them in front of Zhou Zhigang, so that Zhou Zhigang could see for himself whether her son Zhou Bingkun had become a writer.

But as Zhou Zhigang looked at these newspapers and magazines, the way he looked at Zhou Bingkun changed.

"If you had known to study earlier, you wouldn't only have an elementary school education. Look at your brother and sister, they both graduated from high school. If they could go to university, they would definitely be college students." Although Zhou Zhigang found that Zhou Bingkun was a bit beyond his expectations, he still didn't think Zhou Bingkun could compare to Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong.

Zhou Bingkun chuckled, not intending to pay any attention to Zhou Zhigang. Let Zhou Zhigang say whatever he wanted; he would simply pretend he didn't hear him.

Seeing Zhou Bingkun's attitude, Zhou Zhigang became even angrier and slammed his hand on the table with a loud bang.

Before Zhou Zhigang could say anything, little Zhou Ran, who was being held in his arms, burst into tears.

"Old man, what are you doing? Look, you've scared little Zhou Ran to tears. Give him to me right now." Li Suhua glared at Zhou Zhigang and quickly reached out to hug Zhou Ran from his arms.

Zhou Zhigang was reluctant to let go, but Zhou Ran was indeed frightened to tears by him. Moreover, Zhou Ran twisted her little body and stretched out her arms, wanting Li Suhua to hold her. Zhou Zhigang had no choice but to reluctantly hand little Zhou Ran to Li Suhua.

While they were at it, Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan went into another room.

Neither Zhou Bingkun nor Zheng Juan liked Zhou Zhigang very much.

Especially since they hadn't seen each other properly for several years, and they had only just met, Zhou Zhigang pointed at Zhou Bingkun's nose and cursed at him. Zhou Bingkun was unhappy, and Zheng Juan was even more unhappy.

Therefore, Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan avoided Zhou Zhigang as much as possible after that.

Zhou Bingkun couldn't avoid it, and he tried his best not to say a word to Zhou Zhigang.

Zheng Juan, on the other hand, although she also had considerable resentment towards Zhou Zhigang, would still greet him when they actually met, but she was very distant, as if she were talking to a stranger, and was exceptionally polite.

This greatly displeased Zhou Zhigang.

It's only because Zhou Zhigang still has Xiao Zhouran and Li Suhua at home that he really wouldn't want to go back.

Li Suhua did intend to resolve the conflict between Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingkun, but unfortunately, Zhou Zhigang was particularly stubborn. He had looked down on Zhou Bingkun before, and no matter what changes happened to Zhou Bingkun in the future, he would still look down on him.

Zhou Bingkun, on the other hand, did not want to acknowledge Zhou Zhigang as his father, so he preferred to maintain the current way of getting along.

Therefore, Li Suhua's efforts were in vain.

Helpless, Li Suhua sighed more and more often each day.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Zhigang was extremely awkward. Unfortunately, his personality, coupled with Zhou Bingkun's resistance, prevented him from changing anything. In the end, Zhou Zhigang tried his best to avoid meeting Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan, and both sides intentionally avoided each other.

This way of getting along is quite strange.

Li Suhua had no choice but to think that after her daughter Zhou Rong returned, she might be able to act as a mediator and ease the tension between Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingkun.

It's just that Zhou Bingkun didn't know Li Suhua's thoughts, otherwise he would have really been amused by them.

To be honest, the biggest reason why Zhou Bingkun felt no sense of belonging to the Zhou family was Zhou Rong, followed by Zhou Zhigang, and lastly Zhou Bingyi.

If it weren't for these three people in the Zhou family, Zhou Bingkun would have at least tried to adapt to his current body and identity, and attempted to belong to and return to his family. He wouldn't be in this situation now.

Now that things have turned out this way between him and Zhou Zhigang, how could he possibly treat Zhou Rong well?

Just as Li Suhua was looking forward to Zhou Rong coming home and the family reuniting—well, Zhou Bingyi had said he wouldn't be coming this year, so it couldn't be considered a complete family reunion—Li Suhua was indeed really looking forward to Zhou Rong's return.

Especially after Li Suhua received Zhou Rong's letter saying that she had taken Feng Huacheng and Feng Yue on the train, Li Suhua started counting on her fingers to figure out when Zhou Rong would arrive in Jichun City.

Just as Li Suhua was calculating that Zhou Rong would be able to return to Jichun City in another day, Zhou Rong sent another telegram.

"Zhou Rong is supposed to be home tomorrow, why is she suddenly sending a telegram now?" Li Suhua complained softly. "Old man, look at what Zhou Rong's telegram says! Will she even be home on time?"

"Suhua, the telegram says Zhou Rong can't come home for the time being," Zhou Zhigang said to Li Suhua.

"Huh? Weren't you supposed to be home tomorrow? Why can't you go home again? Did something happen?" Li Suhua's expression changed, and her originally rosy complexion turned slightly pale.

"Nothing went wrong, it's good news. Our son-in-law has been invited by Yenching University to give a lecture to students as a poet." Zhou Zhigang smiled very happily, and even raised his voice as if afraid that Zhou Bingkun in the other room wouldn't hear him.

"Suhua, I told you, Feng Huacheng is a nationally renowned poet. Even Yenching University specially invited him to give a lecture to students. This kind of treatment is something that some people who just write a few novels and get published can't compare to. The difference between the two is enormous." Zhou Zhigang's voice was particularly loud.

Zhou Zhigang was filled with joy, feeling that it was a great honor for Feng Huacheng to be invited by Yenching University. He didn't consider how much Li Suhua missed Zhou Rong after so many years, and how disappointed she would be if she couldn't see her this time.

Zhou Zhigang valued his so-called glory far more than Li Suhua did.

Zhou Bingkun looked somewhat taken aback after hearing Zhou Zhigang's words.

He remembered that in the original story, Feng Huacheng had an accident. After the accident, Feng Yue was sent back, and Li Suhua was so frightened by the news that she became a vegetable.

How come it's now Feng Huacheng who's been invited by Yenching University to give a speech?

Zhou Bingkun was taken aback because he didn't know much about the plot. He only knew that Feng Huacheng had a problem in the original story that year, but he didn't remember that Feng Huacheng was first invited to give a speech in Yanjing, and then something happened when he returned, which scared Li Suhua into a vegetative state.

It's because Zhou Bingkun didn't actually watch the entire TV series "The World".

After his initial shock, Zhou Bingkun was even somewhat relieved. He was relieved that his appearance had changed the original plot and that Li Suhua wouldn't have any more problems.

Zhou Bingkun was not a cold-blooded animal after all. After spending more than half a year with Li Suhua, he could feel Li Suhua's feelings for him, so he really couldn't completely ignore Li Suhua.
