The person who came to pick up Wang Cheng from the airport was Zheng Jingen. There were very few who knew that he had returned to China, and the two brothers had also decided not to tell Father and Mother Zheng about this for the time being.
Zheng Jingen looked into it, and found that Zhou Shichang was not at the company today. He couldnāt tell if it was just a coincidence, or something more. Wang Cheng asked Zheng Jingen to send him straight to the Zhou family house, adhering to the principle of early death heeding earlier rebirth. When they reached the front gates of the main house, Wang Cheng got out of the car. Just as he was about to enter, Zheng Jingen suddenly called out and walked over to him. Wang Cheng turned back.
āCall me at any time if you need anything. I suspect that our grandfather might have called you back after learning about you and Chu Yifeng. Anyway, whether itās because of this or not, try not to worry too much about it.ā
āBrother, you donāt have to worry about it either. I have long prepared for this confrontation in my heart.ā
Zheng Jingen watched as he walked in, and remained standing outside for a while before he left.

When a maid saw that Wang Cheng had returned, she immediately went throughout the house to inform those inside of his return, looking just as enthusiastic as usual. If it wasnāt for his grandfatherās hurried demands for him to come back, Wang Cheng would have thought things were the same as usual.

As Wang Cheng walked to the living room, Zhou Shichang and the Zhou steward were also coming downstairs. The atmosphere seemed to shift in an ominous direction. Zhou Shichang asked Wang Cheng to sit down, and the servants in the living room were dismissed. Only the Zhou steward remained standing nearby.
āGrandpa, why did you call me back in such a hurry? I thought something happened to you and I was so worried that I rushed to book a plane ticket back. Iām relieved now that I can see youāre alright.ā Wang Cheng put aside the strange feelings in his heart and spoke like everything was normal. He then picked up some washed strawberries that were set out on the coffee table for them to eat.
Zhou Shichangās expression did not change. He accepted a cup of tea that the Zhou steward handed him and took a sip before saying expressionlessly: āThen guess, why has your grandfather called you back?ā
Wang Cheng could see that his expression was serious, without the slightest hint towards the situation. If his relationship with Chu Yifeng was indeed discovered, his grandfather wouldnāt be so calm, right? However, since his grandfather didnāt take the initiative to mention it, he wouldnāt be so stupid as to take the initiative to confess. His heart fell back into place. He pretended to think about it for a moment before his eyes lit up: āCould it be that my performance in the foreign branch was so outstanding that Grandfather called me back to reward me?ā
