Double!
Hehe… Ultimately, after her son was born, he grew bigger and more handsome by the day. Soon he exceeded Madam Zhou’s wildest expectations, becoming the man of her dreams.
Unfortunately, he was not perfect. While he had the looks to make anyone swoon, his foul temper offset it.
Not only was he hot-tempered, but he was also unbending and self-righteous. Many a time, Madam Zhou found herself infuriated by her wayward son, so when Xu Xiaoxiao was ridiculed by others for his name and demanded that she allow him to change it, she refused without a second thought.
The more annoying her son was, the more likable her nephew appeared. Her nephew was good-looking and demonstrated a personality and temperament that deeply pleased her, checking all the right boxes a young man of his standing should. In Madam Zhou’s eyes, no boy, teenager, or youth was more perfect than her nephew.
Indeed, her nephew became a yardstick to which she always compared her son.
Ah! In many ways, it was a double whammy.
Madam Zhou’s dream for her son to lead a carefree life died before it could bear fruit. Still, not all hope was lost. At least her nephew would live the dream she had envisioned for her son.
Double…
Both Zhou Hengyang and Zhou Hengshan were Madam Zhou’s darlings. As for his son, Xu Xiaoxiao?
Who was he compared to them?
She might as well have picked him up from the rubbish bin. He was utterly worthless!
No wonder Xu Xiaoxiao harbored an intense dislike for his cousin since they were young. Zhou Hengyang was an eyesore to Xu Xiaoxiao, and he always did his best to rile the former up whenever they met. They were more than lifelong enemies at this point, and only in death would their grudge be absolved. Any other outcome was impossible.
To be frank, Xu Xiaoxiao’s bad temper was partly due to Madam Zhou’s bias and the other part due to his cousin’s black-bellied nature.
In recent years, however, Madam Zhou’s opinion of her son gradually changed for the better, especially now that he was an adult. Even if he was not as romantic as Yang Xiao, he should at least be comfortable holding the hand of a young woman, or so she reasoned.
Contrary to her expectations. Xu Xiaoxiao. that despicable. unfilial child. avoided women like the plague and refused to entertain any conversation that led to him finding a partner.
Madam Zhou was at the end of her rope; she was so disappointed in her son that she was prepared to sever all ties with him if he refused to get a wife.
It was the only option to save face.
“Mind your own business!” Xu Xiaoxiao seethed, uncaring about how he might have appeared to everyone else. “Get out and ask them where Zhou Hengyang lives.”
“You don’t even know where Hengyang lives, and you chased her out just like that? At least wait until we reach Hengyang’s place before making demands like that!” Liu Chun complained. “Your people skills are abysmal. You should learn from your cousin how to manage people.”
Xu Xiaoxiao laughed mirthlessly. “I’m not as shameless as Zhou Hengyang.”
“Don’t slander our Hengyang. Our Hengyang is much better than you.” Liu Chun refused to acknowledge Xu Xiaoxiao’s jab at Hengyang’s character, and he said as much when he got out of the car.
Xu Xiaoxiao bared his teeth, twisting his handsome features into something feral. “That’s why Zhou Hengyang is the way he is. He’s shameless and full of hot air. Despite his betrayal, you still can’t help but put in a good word for him!” Xu Xiaoxiao believed he was the only one who could see through Zhou Hengyang’s shameless mask.
Liu Chun ignored him. He found an old man and offered him a cigarette. Then, he asked politely, “Hello, Grandpa. Do you know where Zhou Hengyang lives?”
“You’re talking about Su Wen’s family, right?” The old man took a drag from the cigarette, exhaling contentedly. “There’s no one with the surname Zhou in our village. Zhou Hengyang is a live-in son-in-law. His house is not his, but Su Wen’s.”
Xu Xiaoxiao was furious. If Liu Chun had not used his foot to block the car door, he would have rushed down and beaten up the old man for looking down on his cousin..
