At this moment, Zhou Shi'an was also in shock.

He had lived in a wealthy family for twenty-three years, only to be told now that he was actually a fake young master?

I was just feeling relieved that I hadn't been transported to the world of those mindless short dramas.

Is the slap in the face coming so quickly now?

Could this be the true way the story unfolds?

Based on his years of experience watching dramas, he believes the next plot point will inevitably be the return of the true young master.

The other party must be incredibly manipulative, plotting all sorts of slander and frame-ups, and you can't handle the blow, so you're desperately courting disaster.

As for the outcome—it's nothing more than being kicked out of the house, losing face, or even dying a miserable death on the street.

For some reason, a background music involuntarily popped into his head.

I was careless at the time; I didn't dodge, I just smiled, and then he suddenly attacked me...

Zhou Shi'an: "..."

Wen Shuran noticed his unusual behavior and hurriedly asked with concern:

"Son, don't listen to your uncle's nonsense. The veracity of this matter is still debatable."

not to mention......"

Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Tingxiao interrupted, "Sister-in-law, I know it's hard for you to accept right now."

I've found your biological son; you can easily get a paternity test done.

At this point, he called out towards the door, "Shi Jin, come in."

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, a fair-skinned, handsome man walked into the villa's living room.

The couple's eyes widened simultaneously upon seeing the newcomer.

The reason is simple: the other person looks just too much like Wen Shuran.

Especially her eyes, which were as clear and bright as a mountain spring.

The couple initially had some doubts about Zhou Tingxiao's words.

But now, they've come to believe it to a large extent.

At this moment, even Zhou Shi'an had to admit that the man in front of him and his parents were more like a family.

Seeing the somewhat heavy atmosphere in the room, Zhou Tingxiao spoke up:

"Brother, sister-in-law, this is your son, his name is Zhou Shijin."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Zhou Shijin: "Shijin, aren't you going to greet him?"

Zhou Shijin called out somewhat awkwardly, "Dad, Mom."

Then, he glanced cautiously at Zhou Shi'an, his voice trembling as he said, "B-Big Brother, hello!"

After saying that, he quickly lowered his head.

He looked as if he was terrified of something.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Shi'an's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Good grief, I haven't even said anything yet and you're already scared?

Is this young master a real actor or just a skilled performer?

Looks like you're pretty skilled!

Unfortunately, I have no interest in playing along with your drama of the real and fake young masters.

He has lived two lives, and he has never believed in the idea that fortunes change every thirty years.

Rather, it's about preserving the green hills so that there's no fear of running out of firewood.

In that instant, Zhou Shi'an immediately formulated a detailed plan in his mind:

<<Survival Plan for a Rich Family's Fake Young Master>>

1. Do not fight or grab, do not quarrel or make a fuss.

2. Adopt a correct attitude, recognize your position, and voluntarily step aside.

3. Everyone went back to their own homes and to their own mothers.

4. Play the family card and try to get a hefty breakup fee—oops, I mean (compensation!).

Of course, it would be best if the last item could be completed, but he wouldn't care even if there was no compensation.

A person should have a conscience; he didn't consider himself a heartless ingrate.

Having lived in a wealthy family for over twenty years, the Zhou family had only shown him kindness and had done him no wrong whatsoever.

Zhou Shi'an believed that with his talent and connections in this life, he could live a life free from want, even if he left the Zhou family.

With a plan in mind, a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

Little did they know, Zhou Shijin happened to witness this scene.

His face turned pale instantly, and his legs trembled involuntarily.

Without time to think, he quickly stated his position: "Big brother."

Don't worry, you'll still be the eldest son of the Zhou family, and I promise I won't compete with you for it.

Wow, this little guy's really getting into acting?

"You're overthinking it. Since you are the true young master of the Zhou family, I will leave the Zhou family on my own initiative."

Zhou Shi'an's expression remained unchanged. His dark eyes were calm and still, yet they seemed like a deep pool of water, making them unfathomable.

In that instant, Zhou Shijin felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

I'm coming!

His unwavering composure in the face of adversity, his consistently calm gaze, and that enigmatic smile just now...

All of this is absolutely terrifying!

Never mind, the first rule for survival is to cling to your big brother's coattails.

Zhou Shijin seemed to have made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and darted out.

"Brother, what's with all this talk about leaving or not leaving? Isn't that just being unreasonable?"

Let me tell you, in all my years, I've never seen anyone as handsome as you.

That face is absolutely gorgeous!

I felt an instant connection with you the moment we met; from now on, you'll be like an older brother to me!

What the heck? What does this strong corn flavor mean?

Zhou Shi'an was completely dumbfounded. Before he could come to his senses, he felt his arm being tightly hugged.

Wait, that's fast!

Despite having trained his body for many years, he only felt a blur before his eyes, and the other person was right in front of him.

Could it be that the other party has some kind of cheat code?

However, his hands, which were tightly wrapped around his arms, were trembling slightly, which seemed genuine.

What is he so afraid of?

Suddenly, an angry voice interrupted everyone's thoughts.

"You bastard, what did you just say?"

Zhou Xubai slammed his hand on the coffee table, staring coldly at Zhou Shi'an.

"Say what you just said again!"

As he spoke, he clenched his fists and walked forward step by step.

Faced with this scene, Zhou Shi'an remained completely calm.

My guess was right. Is she already planning to turn on me as soon as she finds out I'm not her biological child?

He was mentally prepared to be beaten up and kicked out.

The next moment, Zhou Xubai sat down on the ground with a thud, clinging tightly to Zhou Shi'an's thigh with both hands.

"My son, you must have a conscience. As the saying goes, the kindness of raising someone is greater than the kindness of giving birth to them."

"I raised you for twenty-three years. You can't disown me just because you're not a member of the Zhou family."

Seeing this, Wen Shuran rushed forward and grabbed Zhou Shi'an's arm.

"Son, things are still undecided. How can you be so heartless as to say you're leaving? Don't you want your mother anymore?"

Humans aren't plants or trees; how can they be without feelings? Today, Mom will tell you the truth.

Even if what your older brother said is true, you don't need to leave. You're still our good son.

As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly looked at Zhou Shijin beside her.

"Shi Jin, Mom didn't mean anything by it. If you are our biological child, your father and I will make it up to you."

Don't worry, your parents won't show favoritism. You are all your most beloved children.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shijin quickly nodded in agreement: "That makes sense, Mom, that's what I was thinking too!"

Zhou Shi'an: "..."

Can anyone tell me what's going on here?

Why don't they play by the rules?

Little did he know, Zhou Tingxiao was even more bewildered than he was.

He watched with his own eyes as the real young master of the Zhou family grabbed the fake young master's right arm, looking all ingratiating.

The younger sister-in-law held onto the fake young master's left arm, her eyes filled with heartache.

As for his younger brother, he clung to the other person's leg, tears streaming down his face...

Let's not even talk about how he looked!

"Cough cough cough..." Zhou Tingxiao coughed a few times, reminding him, "Brother, sister-in-law, about the engagement..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Xubai's cries.

"Son, you can't leave! How can I live without your father...?"

"So, I'm superfluous, huh?" Zhou Tingxiao scratched his head and walked towards the door in a daze.

As Zhou Tingxiao stepped out of the villa, a gentle breeze swept by, instantly clearing his mind considerably.

"No, I have to talk to the old man about this!"
