Stepmom Male Lead Villain

Chapter 71

Boss Zhou had never felt persecuted since Yan Shuyu became his girlfriend. He could not help but hold his hand tightly but still needed to put up a cold front. "When did you take off?"

"As soon as possible. The sooner we go, the sooner we can take care of everything.”

Zhou Qinhe pressed his lips quickly, smiled and said, "Okay, let's go together."

Yan Shuyu was well aware that her boss was a jealous man so she was not surprised by his decision. He still asks, however, “I don't know how long it will take. What about your job?”

“There is an office in the capital. I can easily work from there. ” Zhou Qinhe embraced him and said gently, "You and Yuanbao are more important."

Yan Shuyu's lips curved upwards, but she still pretended to be calm and said, “No, you don't need to. That's too much to ask of you.”

"Not at all," Boss Zhou said casually. “And we can buy some properties there as we do. After Yuanbao rejoined the Ye family, he might have to go and visit the elders from time to time. That way we can accompany him as well.”

Yan Shuyu initially thought that traveling to the capital and inserting his son into the Ye lineage would be a great challenge yet they could do so easily.

Perhaps partly because Ye Rongchen had done a good behind-the-scenes job of managing the expectations of his parents and other parents or that he had a boss behind him, she said, that allowed old man Ye no choice but to accept reality. Overall, the interaction between the two families was quite pleasant.

Yan Shuyu had planned to visit Ye with Zhang Yuanjia. After all, if his son joined Ye officially, it was only right for them to visit the elders proactively. That being said, on the day they arrived at the capital when Ye Rongchen told of his parents' intention to make them rest and that a banquet would be held at Ye the next day to greet them.

If old man Ye held a banquet, he should be able to assume that it was their goodwill. This was much better than what Yan Shuyu had originally anticipated and, as such, she agreed to it cheerfully.

The next morning, he brought two well-dressed little children in their suits and ties and headed to the hotel where they would meet his boss. They had rejected the driver that Ye's family had offered. His boss is a man with businesses all over the world. Getting a ride was not a problem for him at all.

They met Ye's parents at the hotel before 11am.

Old man Ye looked exactly as Yan Shuyu had described. It made sense that with Ye Rongchen being such a handsome man, both of his parents were also very pleasing to the eye. As for their auras, Father Ye was somewhat similar to his boss. They look relaxed but they just stand there making others feel that they don't want to try something stupid. It must have been the rumored aura of someone with authority. That was probably the reason Father Ye and his boss were somewhat compatible, or at least could keep the conversation going. Instead, Yan Shuyu and Mother Ye were more awkward together.

Yan Shuyu could not forgive Ye Rongchen before but, in the end, it was the fault of old man Ye. That being said, the fact that they had saved Ye Rongchen was also the truth. Yan Shuyu did not know if Ye Rongchen had really died in the original novel or lived his new life without ever remembering him and his son. Nevertheless, if he had to choose, the latter might be better than the two choices. After all, Ye Rongchen was the biological father of his son. Better he survive than they both go.

Perhaps, what Father and Mother Ye had done was not too bad. Now that his son had reunited with his father and was about to be officially added into Ye's lineage, it was increasingly difficult for Yan Shuyu to criticize them from a high moral foundation.

Even so, Yan Shuyu had never been a very forgiving person. He can't pretend nothing happened. Therefore, he was not sure what to do from all of this. After sitting quietly with Mother Ye for a while, Mother Ye was the one who ended up breaking the silence. He asked in a low voice, "I heard that you are going to remarry."

Yan Shuyu nodded. "Congratulations," Mother Ye said.

He even turned around and looked at Zhou Qinhe as he spoke. He did not say anything more but he might express his approval of Yan Shuyu's choice. After all, his boss was a very extraordinary man.

Yan Shuyu had no problem accepting Mother Ye's approval. Thas right. He is good at choosing a man for himself.

"Yuanbao, that's his nickname, right?" Mother Ye tried to start the conversation again. He did not have much to talk about with Yan Shuyu but the way he looked at Zhang Yuanjia was very gentle. His quiet appearance turned loving and he lacked the inscription "my oldest grandson is very handsome" all over his face. He looked like he wanted to pull her into his arms and all sorts of affection for her.

Unfortunately, he won't have a chance to do so.

Zhang Yuanjia's love for his father was not something instinctive but from his mother's "planting. Although it was not Yan Shuyu's initial intention, but his speech about how great the father had planted a seed in the little boy's mind. Therefore, he was probably envious that Xiao Yi had a father after he got to know Uncle Zhou and Xiao Yi, he had never been jealous of him. The more he found Uncle Zhou, the more proud he was because his father was as great as Uncle Zhou in his mind. That is, his admiration and closeness to Uncle Zhou came from the image of his own father. It was very different from how he wanted to turn Uncle Zhou into his own father in the original novel.

When Ye Rongchen, his biological father, appeared, all of his fantasies and imaginings made it very easy to accept and get used to having a father.

Mother and Father Ye, on the other hand, did not receive the same treatment. Zhang Yuanjia, who was still only an elementary school student, only heard about his father from his mother. She did not know that she had grandparents and all the elders in the Ye family were strangers to her. His mother only mentioned that he would meet some of his relatives and elders during his trip to the capital with his father, mother, and Uncle Zhou. Once he was added to the pedigree, he would officially become a father and son with his father.

Zhang Yuanjia did not have many concepts about his grandparents. Therefore, when a young child, who has many principles, steps into a private room and sees that an unknown middle-aged couple wants to hug her, the, he reflexively took a step back with a hint of hatred on his face. .

She may look friendly, cheerful, and a sweet talker, but she still somewhat rejects the idea of being close to strangers.

Father and Mother Ye instantly froze on the spot.

Because of that incident, they were much more secretive afterwards. Inevitably they stared at Zhang Yuanbao the entire time and their lips curved upwards uncontrollably but they did not dare to reach him anymore, worried that they would scare their eldest grandchild.

Yan Shuyu, who had witnessed all of that, was delighted. From what Ye Rongchen had told him earlier, he thought his parents disliked neither himself nor his son. As it turned out, he was the only one they didn't like and the little boy was just additional damage. Now that they had seen their eldest grandson alive and well in front of them, the elders instantly fell in love with him.

The prudence and awkwardness of Father and Mother Ye being authoritative towards a 7-year-old might show feelings of guilt on their part.

That was all Yan Shuyu needed to know. He's feeling a lot better now. All he cared about was whether they cared about his son wholeheartedly. After all, happiness is important and he is not the one who thinks about the details.

Mother Ye is still going on. “The Yuanbao generation uses the character 'Heng' in their name. Why don't we change his name to Ye Hengjia? We can still refer to it as Yuanbao or Yuanjia personally.”

There was not much he could say or do as far as adding his name to the pedigree in question other than following their rules and changing his name to Ye Hengjia. At least part of his original efforts were preserved. Yan Shuyu was happy about that. Patting the little boy, he asked with a smile, "What do you think?"

Zhang Yuanjia nodded without any objections. He even knew to express his appreciation. “Thank you, Grandma.”

"The same." Mother Ye immediately smiled widely and she took the opportunity to chat with him. “Great-grandfather and great-grandmother along with many aunts and uncles will come home to see you the day after tomorrow.”.

Zhou was not a big family and, before that, only Zhang Yuanjia and his mother. He did not think that one day he would come across all the terms that he had only heard from the textbooks before. His eyes widened in curiosity.

Seeing that she was interested in the topic, Mother Ye explained further. He even told her about returning to their old home in Yiyang and holding an official ceremony at the temple to show their appreciation to their ancestors. Zhang Yuanjia found all of that very interesting. Mother Ye changed the subject abruptly and said, “Yuanbao we like piano, right? Grandma will go with you to buy a piano tomorrow so you can play for her in the future. What say?"

Zhang Yuanjia nodded unintentionally and only realized that maybe he should not have done that after he did. He turned around to see his mother.

Yan Shuyu was not someone petty. The fact that Mother Ye was able to get close to her son so quickly was partly due to her ability and patience, but also because she really cared about the little boy. His son was definitely not a Fool, Fair, and Sweet who would lose his mind when someone sweet talked a little with him. Yan Shuyu did not mind at all. He nodded and said, "Sure, you can go."

Zhang Yuanjia, even after his mother's approval, had not forgotten his good brother. He quickly reached out, held his hand, and said, "And Xiao Yi is also coming."

Before Yan Shuyu could say anything, Mother Ye had already nodded like someone without principles. “Sure, bring your sister too.”

Yan Shuyu could not help but sigh that that was the strength of the generation that passed. The graceful and graceful Mother Ye no longer resembled a top-class woman in front of her eldest granddaughter.

And, just like that, the plan had been made happily. Ye Rongchen came with his father and mother the next morning to pick up the children. Yan Shuyu and the boss did not join them. The two planned to take the opportunity to look around the house.

Although the boss said they would buy property in the capital, but it was actually unnecessary. He owns properties all over the world and, of course, some in the capital as well. All in a rich and beautiful location.

Yan Shuyu's job is to choose a partner she likes out of all of this and communicate her ideas with the overhaul team. Then all that was left was for them to get ready to move. After all, now that his son had rejoined the Ye family, they would probably travel here frequently during the summer and winter holidays and would stay for a while each time. It is best to decorate it as you wish.

They spent a few days in the capital and went with the Ye family to visit their home town and, finally, to, “ Zhang Yuanjia's extraordinary actions to rejoin the Ye family have reached a conclusion and his name has been officially changed to Ye Hengjia.

Yan Shuyu did not have too much time to feel emotional about it before the boss dragged her back to start the wedding planning. The first thing that needs attention is to choose a location. The boss had someone bring information about some private islands and had him pick one of them.

Yan Shuyu was extremely stunned at first. Rich people, is this already top class? Not even a yacht or a castle is good enough? Now private islands are standard?

As soon as he started reading the information and watching the video clips on these islands, he was instantly excited. It's so beautiful to be married. They even have a private island and can call it their anniversary. The boss is absolutely amazing.

His boss was rich and generous and looked unconcerned with the cost as long as Yan Shuyu was happy. Therefore, Yan Shuyu did not feel bad about choosing an expensive option at all.

That being said, once she married the boss and became Madame Zhou, what belonged to her would be hers. It seems the wrong mentality for a housewife to have.

This was her first marriage in her two lives. This may have been her second marriage on paper, but it was her first. Even Yan Shuyu felt that she was not being treated fairly. He would only be satisfied if this marriage would give him triple happiness.

Yan Shuyu had never been so enthusiastic about this marriage. Gradually, she became “dalang” behind the wedding. The usual wedding planning team consulted Boss Zhou for his opinion before running it symbolically through Yan Shuyu. However, after communicating a few times, they began to realize that communicating with Madame Zhou was much more useful and all Boss Zhou did was nod in front of his wife and since then they stopped doing that.

As the world-famous wedding planning team has catered to many celebrities, movie emperors and the like, they have a lot of discussion and speculation when it comes to their latest clients. After all, Boss Zhou's fiancee, someone from above among influential families, was neither a woman from a suitable background, nor someone who possessed high academic achievement or intelligence. He's not even single. The woman who would become Madame Zhou was an ordinary woman, a piano teacher whose son was even slightly older than Boss Zhou - which in itself raised a lot of speculation.

Their team has been in the upper class circle for a while now and has seen couples from very different backgrounds. They all speculate that the future of the Lady. Zhou must be a beautiful and gentle woman, which was why she was able to gain the affection of Boss Zhou.

When they met their client for the first time, they realized that Madam Zhou was indeed very beautiful, very beautiful. Nevertheless, he could not be further from gentle and attentive. Every time they asked for their opinion, Madam Zhou was the first to start talking and it did not seem to bother Boss Zhou at all. He would add hot tea to Madame Zhou from time to time, slice an apple for her and, when Madame Zhou finished with her chatter and looked at her, nodded in agreement. “It was good ideas. I agree."

– It is not difficult to say that this is how they interact normally.

Nevertheless, this is their favorite type of client. Many new couples have a lot of ideas about marriage and as they chat, they will start to quarrel with each other. That puts them in a very difficult position, not knowing whose opinion to hear.

Since it was clear that Madam Zhou had the final say, this was not the situation they would face. As surprised as the wedding planning team was, they were happy with the situation. Therefore, rumors about Boss Zhou being afraid of his wife began to spread.

Yan Shuyu, of course, did not know about his new "reputation. He didn't even realize that he had the final say in the family. He simply immersed himself fully into the planning of the wedding.

Wedding planning begins in November and the wedding date is set for January. Both children will be on vacation and the whole family can go on a honeymoon together.

With active preparation for two months, the private island with its beautiful scenery changed drastically. Yan Shuyu's taste was tacky. Most other people prefer to use pure and sacred lilies for weddings, but when asked by the wedding planning team, she replies with roses without hesitation. And red roses on it. She felt that only red roses were enough to accentuate her beauty.

Yan Shuyu's request was executed perfectly. When he visited the island with the children before the wedding and checked the results, he found that the entire island was drowned in a ferocious red rose.
