Veteran Hong Kong stars reorganize the Chinese entertainment industry.

Looking at his family members, who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar, Liu Zhongze stood up from his seat and walked towards the door.

He hasn't called his parents once since he walked in the door.

This had already happened when Liu Zhongze complained about his parents after their business failed, so Liu's parents weren't surprised.

Liu Zhongze came in, glanced at them, and then left without looking at them, which was unlike his usual style.

The elderly couple exchanged a glance, as if exchanging information with their eyes.

Just as Liu Zhongze was about to leave the house, Liu's father quickly wiped his mouth and ran towards Liu Zhongze.

"Zhongze, wait." Liu's father pulled Liu Zhongze back again. He hadn't seen his eldest son in a long time.

Liu Zhongze remained silent, unsure how to deal with parents who were not his blood relatives.

Liu's mother sighed, took a card from the salt bag in the kitchen, and walked over.

"Your mom gave you the money, so you don't need to keep pretending anymore. Tell your dad what happened."

The elderly couple stood at the door. Seeing that Liu Zhongze still hadn't spoken, Liu's father took out a cigarette and lit it again.

This time, Liu's mother didn't say anything. She knew that her husband would smoke when he was in a bad mood.

"Still not going to tell?" Liu's mother handed the card to Liu Zhongze. In the past, whenever she did this, Liu Zhongze would revert to his mischievous self from when he was a child.

The elderly couple loved their children dearly, but they lacked discretion in raising their eldest son, Liu Zhongze, which led to him becoming spoiled and arrogant. They couldn't say anything to him because Liu Zhongze was their precious son.

Liu Yiyi is also their darling. Liu's mother is very equal in this respect. Whatever Zhongze has, she will try her best to give to Yiyi.

However, Liu Zhenguo, also known as Liu's father, had a rather traditional mindset and a deep-seated preference for sons over daughters. No matter how much he liked Yiyi, his favorite son was still his eldest son, Liu Zhongze.

"Dad, I really just came to see you."

Liu's father's fingers, which were holding a cigarette, trembled slightly, as if he had heard something that felt like the sky had fallen.

He took out his phone and said to Liu Zhongze, "Tell me, is this time particularly serious? You don't even want the money my wife and I worked so hard to earn to pay off the debt. Is it because you got Lin Luoying pregnant and her family is forcing you to get married, or did you hit someone and plan to have your dad take the blame for you?"

Liu Yiyi inherited her father's love of imagination.

Liu's mother covered her mouth. Hearing what Liu's father said, she felt that it made a lot of sense. Otherwise, why would her eldest son be so well-behaved?

Tears welled in Liu's mother's eyes; all her former strength had vanished at this moment.

boom!

Liu Yiyi ran out of the room, already sobbing uncontrollably. She had probably been hiding by the door, eavesdropping on their conversation.

Liu Yiyi tried to open her mouth, but she couldn't catch her breath and couldn't speak several times.

Mr. Liu walked over and patted her on the back. Liu Yiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I won't allow my brother to send Dad to prison. Dad is so good to me. What will I do if you send him there?"

Liu's mother turned her head away and shed bitter tears, while Liu's father shook his head and sighed helplessly, as if everything had been settled.

Liu Zhongze was stunned. What was going on? He had only said a few words from beginning to end, and they all conveyed the same meaning. He said he had come to see them, but they just wouldn't believe him.

Left with no other choice, Liu Zhongze could only reveal his true thoughts: "Actually, I feel that constantly staying by Lin Luoying's side will cause her trouble. We're both getting older, and I want to think about this relationship carefully."

The expressions of Liu's father and mother changed from sadness to joy, and then they calmed down. The old couple were both indignant on behalf of Lin Luoying, and even seven-year-old Liu Yiyi was speaking up for Lin Luoying, her future sister-in-law.

Mr. Liu said, "Lin Luoying is a good girl. If she weren't by your side, how could I feel at ease?"

Mother Liu wiped away her tears and said, "Your father isn't the kind of person who starts something and then abandons it. Where did you learn this from, using someone and then discarding them like that? If you dare to hurt her, do you believe I'll break your legs?"

Liu Yiyi sniffed and said, "My sister-in-law is so good to me. She buys me things every few days and always asks me if I have enough money."

Liu Yiyi raised her wrist, pointed to the watch on it, and said, "This was also bought for me by my sister-in-law. She was worried that I wouldn't be able to contact my parents, so she specially took me to buy it."

Liu Zhongze was taken aback again. His way of communicating seemed a bit out of place in this family. No matter what he said, his family members would automatically think of the worst possible outcome.

"It's not that I started this relationship and then abandoned it; I just feel I should value it more..."

Before Liu Zhongze could finish speaking, his mother interrupted, "So, you've only been playing around with that girl Lin Luoying all along?"

Mother Liu grew increasingly angry and pulled a broom from the doorway.

Mr. Liu quickly hugged Mrs. Liu and gently comforted her, "I'll ask you, I'll ask you, don't worry."

Mr. Liu looked at Liu Zhongze and said, "Did Lin Luoying find out you were messing around with other people's girls?"

Liu Yiyi gave Liu Zhongze a disdainful look and secretly took a picture of her older brother with her watch, which she would send to her future sister-in-law later.

Liu Zhongze was also driven to desperation. He had never explained such a complicated matter before. He repeatedly insisted that he had not abandoned her after starting her relationship, nor had he had an affair. He just wanted to understand this relationship, nothing more.

The three family members looked at him with a mixture of belief and doubt, surrounding him as if they could figure out Liu Zhongze's true thoughts by circling around him and looking him up and down.

"Yiyi, call your sister-in-law," Liu's father finally declared.

The two women, one older and one younger, nodded simultaneously, as if they were seconding Mr. Liu's decision.

Liu Zhongze scratched his head, surprised that the owner of this body had such low credibility. No matter how much he talked, no family member was willing to believe him.

The three family members, like a joint trial by the three judicial authorities, just stared at Liu Zhongze, not letting him leave, nor speaking to him, quietly waiting for something.

More than half an hour later, Lin Luoying, who had dressed up carefully, pushed open the door. Her eyes were red as soon as she entered, and her voice was hoarse as she said, "I sent you so many messages, why didn't you reply? You didn't even answer my calls?"

Liu Zhongze took out his phone. To be honest, he really didn't understand this high-tech stuff. He asked, "Have they called me?"

He pressed the power button on his phone, but found that the phone did not respond.

"Oh, it was turned off."

Lin Luoying's expression softened. She walked up to Liu's parents, pretended to be well-behaved, and greeted them one by one. Then, she took out a cute hair clip from her pocket and clipped up Liu Yiyi's loose bangs.

Then, she came to Liu Zhongze's side and whispered, "Are you... avoiding me?"
