I'm dressed up as a fake young master, and the real young master is frantically begging me to s

Upon hearing Grandma Zhou's question, Zhou Shijin immediately straightened his back and unconsciously placed his hands on his knees.

Before he could even think, he instinctively blurted out, "My older brother is a really strange guy."

In terms of looks and charm, there's no doubt about it; it's top-notch.

The moment I saw him, I knew we were meant to be!

As he spoke, he gave Zhou Shi'an a look of admiration and gazed at him intently.

Then he continued, "This is what I think. No matter what others think, I've decided on this older brother."

"Even Jesus can't take it away, I'm telling you!"

Upon hearing this, the two elderly people were visibly taken aback.

Old Master Zhou gave him a scrutinizing look again.

"Don't you feel any resentment or jealousy towards Shi An's existence?"

Zhou Shijin, startled, hurriedly waved his hand: "Come on, I'm scared..."

In his excitement, he almost blurted out the words "I'm too scared to even say it, my older brother."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he quickly tried to cover it up:

"As a descendant of the Zhou family and a hero, how could I be that kind of person?"

What a joke, that's absolutely impossible!

In the years I've been away, it's my elder brother who has taken care of you two and our parents. I'm so grateful.

"Let me make this clear today: anyone who dares to go against my older brother, I'll teach them a lesson they won't forget!"

Upon hearing Zhou Shijin's words, the wrinkles on Old Master Zhou's face visibly smoothed out.

Before he could speak, Old Mrs. Zhou asked first:

"What if I said that I would hand over the position of Zhou family heir to Shi An in the future?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

It wasn't that Zhou Xubai and his wife were reluctant to part with the Zhou family business, but rather that they were worried that the two brothers would develop a rift because of the old lady's words.

Zhou Tingxiao and his wife were worried about their own interests being harmed.

At this moment, even Grandpa Zhou unconsciously frowned.

However, no one dared to interrupt the head of the household, a truly ruthless person.

Zhou Shijin met his grandmother's sharp, hawk-like gaze. Although he was terrified, he still spoke his truest thoughts.

"That's great! To be honest, that's what I was thinking too!"

As the old saying goes, every broken pot has its own lid, and every kind of person has their own admirers.

If I were to take over the Zhou family business, I'd ruin it sooner or later.

"If I hand the family over to my eldest brother, I can go wild! Just thinking about it makes me feel incredibly awesome!"

The old lady stared at him for a long time, then slowly nodded and asked a completely unrelated question.

"Did you grow up in Northeast China?"

Upon hearing his grandmother mention her hometown, Zhou Shijin suddenly remembered that the two elderly women were once the main force in the Northeast Anti-Japanese War.

That battle lasted so long that the two of them could be considered half Northeasterners.

For a moment, he felt a surge of emotion, like old friends meeting each other and tears welling up in his eyes.

"That's right, my hometown is in this village~~ I'm a native of this village~~~"

As he was talking, Zhou Shijin suddenly started singing.

Seeing his silly antics, everyone in the room burst into laughter.

The two elderly people chuckled softly, as if lost in memories, their eyes filled with a deep sadness.

Seeing this, Zhou Shijin quickly shut his mouth.

He instantly understood that his grandparents were reminiscing about their time fighting against the Japanese in Northeast China.

As a Chinese, although he did not experience it firsthand, he was acutely aware of the cruelty of that war.

The Nanjing Massacre alone resulted in the deaths of over 300,000 civilians and prisoners of war.

The Japanese "Three Alls Policy" led to the destruction of countless villages and the massacre of civilians in North and Northeast China.

It was a painful memory, yet one etched into the very bones of the Chinese people.

Their current lives are entirely due to the heroic sacrifices of countless heroes in the past.

The two elderly people, as survivors of that war, must be feeling extremely sad at this moment.

Gathering the jumbled thoughts in his mind, Zhou Shijin quickly changed the subject:

"Grandpa and Grandma, let me tell you, we Northeasterners are very generous and open-minded."

Not only do they cook delicious food, but they also have a lot of interesting conversations; everyone there is a comedian.

Their conversation was like a stand-up comedy routine, it was hilarious.

Zhou Shijin's voice brought the two elders back to reality.

Grandpa Zhou rarely showed a smile: "Don't be so smug, your grandma and I lived in Northeast China for a long time back then."

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've been to Northeast China, and I really miss the food there.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shijin waved his hand and said, "It's nothing!"

Grandpa and Grandma, today your grandson will show you his skills and prepare some truly authentic Northeastern Chinese cuisine!

At this moment, Zhou Shijin felt no fear when facing the two elders; instead, he felt only deep awe.

That wasn't a grandson's reverence for his grandparents, but rather a Chinese person's admiration for a hero.

Grandpa Zhou couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, good, good, good!"

"Old man, I want to eat 'Three Treasures of the Earth' and 'Chicken Stew with Mushrooms'."

Grandma Zhou chimed in from the side, "I want to eat pork stew!"

Seeing the atmosphere in the room become relaxed and pleasant, Zhou Shi'an, who had been silent until now, joined in the fun:

"And the sweet and sour pork you mentioned before."

Seeing this, Zhou Shijin patted his chest.

"All set, proceed!"

In an instant, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

Only Zhou Tingxiao and his wife had furrowed brows, looking preoccupied.

He chose to tip off the old man in the hope of resolving the issue of the real and fake young masters as soon as possible and reducing the group's losses.

But now the two elders only gave a lecture, as if they said something, yet as if they said nothing at all.

The two elderly people, with their keen observation skills honed on the battlefield, naturally noticed the unusual behavior of Zhou Tingxiao and his wife.

Old Master Zhou's smile vanished instantly: "Eldest son, do you have something to say?"

Coming to his senses, Zhou Tingxiao quickly sat up straight: "No, no!"

"Oh?" Master Zhou gave him a meaningful look: "You have always been steady in your work, and you are usually very protective of your younger brother."

Such a big thing happened, and you didn't let Xu Bai inform me.

Instead, you called to inform me that Shi An is not of the Zhou family bloodline. What was your purpose in doing so?

Could it be that you also want to compete for the position of family heir?

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tingxiao was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hands to explain.

"Dad, I didn't! You value rules the most, and everyone knows you are a traditional man."

This is such a big matter concerning the Zhou family lineage and the group's interests that I wanted to inform you as soon as possible.

"I was so worried that I forgot to remind my younger brother."

Seeing this, Zhou Xubai quickly spoke up for his older brother: "Yes, Dad, my older brother isn't that kind of person."

My older brother refused back then, out of consideration for my feelings...

Before he could finish speaking, the old man's eyes widened instantly.

"Shut up, did I ask you?"

"Oh!" Zhou Xubai lowered his head hastily, like a startled quail.

"Ha... Concern leads to confusion? For the benefit of the Zhou family?"

Boss, let me ask you something.

Why didn't you inform me about this morning's news and the trouble the shareholders are causing?

The old man slowly stood up and looked down at his eldest son.

Before the other party could reply, he said in a chilling tone:

"I'm old, not dead. Do you think I don't know how to use a phone or scroll through TikTok?"

Answer me! Look my Aye!

The old man suddenly raised his voice at the last sentence, startling everyone and sending a chill down their spines.
