Playing the male antagonist in a melodramatic novel is fine for a bit of fun.

Wang Yan's pupils constricted sharply: "You were already old enough to remember things back then?"

Chen Zhou looked at Wang Yan and said calmly, "Do you need me to tell you how many times Wang Lang and his wife visited the orphanage to confirm?"

Wang Yan's heart skipped a beat, realizing that the possibility of Chen Zhou returning to the Wang family was now extremely slim.

He was so young that he could remember things, which means he always knew that his biological parents had abandoned him.

He didn't make a fuss; he simply watched as his biological parents repeatedly came to the orphanage and allowed him to be adopted by others.

How much disappointment must little Chen Zhou have accumulated during this process?

Therefore, the possibility of him returning to the Wang family is very, very small, almost non-existent.

Unlike Wang Yan's shock and disappointment, Tong Xiao felt heartache.

She never noticed that Chen Zhou knew who his biological parents were when he was a child.

Seeing his biological parents' indifference as he was adopted, Ah Zhou must have felt terrible.

Thinking of this, Tong Xiao felt even more sorry for Chen Zhou.

I was so negligent; I hadn't even noticed that Ah Zhou was hiding such a secret in his heart.

It's unknown how long it took Ah Zhou to overcome this psychological trauma.

Seeing Tong Xiao's expression, Chen Zhou roughly knew what Tong Xiao was thinking.

Just as he was about to offer some words of comfort, Chen Zhou suddenly had an idea.

"Mom, now that you've found out, I won't hide it anymore."

"The experience of being abandoned as a child has left me with a lingering trauma."

"Whenever I think about marriage, I think of the scene of being abandoned back then, so I don't want to get married or find a partner."

This is a good opportunity to justify not having a girlfriend.

We should cherish this precious time and cultivate ourselves.

Tong Xiao's eyes were red: "Okay, Mom won't force you anymore."

Conquering the villain: [Cunning and cunning.]

If it were Chen Zhou from the previous script, she would believe that Chen Zhou had this psychological trauma.

But how could Chen Zhou possibly have psychological trauma now!

Chen Zhou thought to himself, "I'll see through it but not say anything."

At this moment, Wang Yan's heart had already turned cold.

Since Chen Zhou already has such a deep psychological trauma, how could he possibly go back to the Wang family with her?

That also means that one's future will only be that of a commodity used for a business marriage.

Her eyes dimmed instantly.

She was unwilling to accept it. Why could someone who wasn't her biological child inherit the Wang family fortune, while she couldn't?

Chen Zhou looked at the distraught Wang Yan and said, "After you return to the capital, tell Wang Lang and his wife that I will not acknowledge the Wang family. Let them give up on that idea."

Wang Yan nodded. She now felt that it was perfectly normal for Chen Zhou not to want to go back to the Wang family.

If I had experienced something like that when I was a child and remembered it clearly, I would feel hatred in my heart.

Having failed to achieve her biggest goal, Wang Yan lost interest in continuing to participate in the family reunion dinner and left immediately.

Tong Xiao watched Wang Yan's dejected figure, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Judging from Wang Yan's expression, she was somewhat relieved that A Zhou had been adopted by them instead of growing up in the Wang family.

After Wang Yan left, Tong Xiao finally spoke up, "It seems that Wang Yan is not having a good time in the Wang family."

Through Wang Yan, she seemed to see her own son not being abandoned.

Chen Zhou nodded, while erasing the intelligence of the Yin Tianzi System, and replied, "Yeah, growing up in that kind of family must have been tough."

In the process of erasing the Yin Tianzi system's intelligence, Chen Zhou also figured out the system's functions.

One of them is the exchange function, which is the same as the strategy system. Judging from the exchange list, the exchange items are mostly magical artifacts that are designed to target ghosts.

The resources available to strengthen oneself are pitifully scarce.

The magical artifacts designed to target ghosts were completely useless to Chen Zhou, so he simply erased them and transformed them into the system's origin.

Regarding the enhancement of his own precious elixir and precious pill, Chen Zhou manifested a copy using the system's origin, preparing to study their pharmacological properties.

Through the system's introduction, Chen Zhou estimated that after some improvements, this thing could replace the old ginseng for martial arts cultivation after it ran out.

Xin Xin is so lucky.

Tong Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Given the Wang family's traditions, even if you send Wang Yan back with a message this time, they'll definitely send someone again next time. After all, Wang Yan has the least say in the Wang family."

Tong Xiao originally intended for her family to intervene directly, but then she thought that it would be better for the Wang family to see Zhou's attitude themselves.

If they don't see Ah Zhou or get an answer from him for a day, they will keep bothering him.

The Chen family is not afraid of the Wang family, but they can't kill the Wang family either. If this continues, it will become very troublesome.

Chen Zhou nodded: "I'll handle it when the time comes."

He never thought that simply having Wang Yan deliver a message would make Wang Lang and his wife give up the idea of ​​him returning to the Wang family. Wang Yan's message was more of a notification, to show the Wang family his attitude.

Next time, it won't be a notification, but a lesson.

People like Wang Lang and his wife will only learn their lesson if they are severely punished!

Tong Xiao: "I'm very reassured that you're handling it yourself. But they are, after all, the culprits behind your psychological problems. Is it okay to face them again?"

Tong Xiao was naturally aware of Chen Zhou's abilities.

She knew that her son was never indecisive.

If it's not dealt with immediately, it means it will still be useful later.

But Wang Lang and his wife were, after all, the source of A Zhou's psychological trauma. If they really clashed, she was afraid that A Zhou's psychological trauma would worsen.

Chen Zhou reached out and placed his hand on Tong Xiao's hand, a warm smile appearing on his face.

This smile reminded Tong Xiao of the smile Chen Zhou gave when he first arrived at the Chen family, when he faced her, who was still traumatized at the time.

It's very warm and healing.

Chen Zhou then said, "Mom, there are other things in life besides getting married and having children."

"I've already accepted it, so how can it make things worse?"

"Besides, I still have you, Dad, my sister, and my younger sister with me, don't I?"

Hearing Chen Zhou's words, Tong Xiao couldn't help but shed tears. She hugged Chen Zhou tightly and choked out, "Zhou, you've really suffered."

At the same time, Tong Xiao's hatred for Wang Lang and Lu Lin grew stronger.

Her son, Ah Zhou, was such a good child, but because of these two inhuman people, he developed psychological trauma.

After I get home from this family reunion dinner, I must discuss this with Lao Chen.

The Chen family can't interfere with the Wang family's main business in Kyoto, but they must squeeze out the Wang family's business in Shanghai and give Zhou a good beating!

Chen Zhou gently patted Tong Xiao's back and whispered, "Meeting you guys has made things much less bitter."
