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

On the way home, Zhou Shijin would steal glances at Zhou Shian from time to time, his face showing a hesitant expression.

"Hey kid, just say what you have to say."

Upon hearing his elder brother speak, Zhou Shijin hurriedly voiced his inner doubts.

"Brother, didn't you teach me before that I should be more composed and have more composure in crowded places?"

With so many people watching today, why did you still do it yourself?

"Heh~~ That's a good question!" Zhou Shi'an chuckled, feeling quite satisfied.

He wasn't afraid of his younger brother giving up; he was afraid that the younger brother had no sense of belonging to the family.

The fact that he is now taking the initiative to ask questions shows that he still cares about the interests of his family.

"Shi Jin, you must remember this: from the moment you returned to the family, your every word and action represents the Zhou family."

One can lack arrogance, but one cannot lack integrity.

Not bullying the weak and maintaining proper humility and courtesy are fundamental principles of the Zhou family.

However, swift and decisive action, coupled with an iron fist, is the foundation of the Zhou family's existence.

At this point, a hint of coldness flashed in Zhou Shi'an's eyes.

"If one is humble for too long, it will give people a fixed impression that the Zhou family is easy to talk to, weak and easy to bully."

Therefore, revealing one's fangs at the right time is what instills fear in the enemy.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shijin looked enlightened: "Oh, so that's how it is!"

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he continued to ask:

"By the way, brother, since we went so far today, won't those two families call the police or come looking for trouble?"

"No!" Zhou Shi'an said with absolute certainty.

"The operation of this world cannot escape the word 'rules,' and every circle has its own rules."

The same applies to the elite circles; only those who abide by the rules can continue to survive.

Of course, even if it's just for the sake of saving face, both families will demand an explanation, and might even try to sabotage things behind the scenes.

At this point, he looked at Zhou Shijin with a very serious expression.

"So remember this: it's okay to act impulsively."

However, you need to think carefully about the consequences of acting impulsively, and whether you can bear them.

I chose to intervene because—I could afford the consequences.

Zhou Shijin was stunned for a few seconds, then couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Big brother, awesome!"

Zhou Shi'an shook his head and remained silent.

The car quickly drove into the Zhou family villa.

The two brothers had just stepped into the living room when a figure rushed up to them.

"Shi An, Shi Jin, I heard you got into a fight. Let Mom check if you're hurt?"

Wen Shuran looked at her two sons with a worried expression, her gaze constantly sweeping over them.

"Mom, don't worry, my brother and I are fine."

"Yes, Mom, you can rest assured."

Hearing the two say this, Wen Shuran immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, she was still a little worried and was about to check it carefully when she heard Old Master Zhou's voice.

"Alright, the men of the Zhou family don't have greasy hair and powdered faces, or those 'eating a cool peach' types. Let the two of them come over and talk."

Upon hearing her father-in-law speak, Wen Shuran hurriedly returned to sit down next to her husband.

The two brothers then realized that their father was sitting obediently on the sofa, just like a well-behaved student.

Grandpa and Grandma were sitting on the other side, their faces very serious.

Sensing that something was amiss, the two brothers quickly stepped forward and stood respectfully before the two elderly people.

"What? I heard you beat up the young masters of the Xiao and Du families, and it was pretty serious?"

Hearing his grandfather's question, Zhou Shijin's legs trembled slightly, but he still took a step forward.

"Grandpa, I started it. This has nothing to do with my older brother. Punish me instead!"

Zhou Shi'an understood his grandfather's personality, so he simply said, "I asked Shi Jin to do it," without offering any further explanation.

"Oh?" Old Master Zhou stared at the two of them expressionlessly for a long time without saying a word.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became extremely oppressive.

The next moment, the old man suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha, good, good, good!"

Everyone was startled by the sudden laughter, especially Zhou Shijin, who couldn't help but wonder:

Is Grandpa so angry that the louder he laughs, the harder he'll hit you later?

"You two are very good. You have guts, you take responsibility, and you are united."

This is how the sons of the Zhou family should be!

Our Zhou family has always kept a low profile and never relied on power to bully the weak, but that doesn't mean we're afraid of trouble.

Anyone who dares to extend their claws will have their hands and feet chopped off.

At this point, Old Master Zhou gave Zhou Shijin a appreciative look.

"You did a good job. You knew to proactively protect your older brother and were willing to take responsibility. That's enough!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shijin froze on the spot.

What's going on? The old man didn't punish me, and even praised me?

"Shi An, tell me, why are you acting so unusually aggressive and domineering today?"

Hearing the old man's question, Zhou Shi'an replied calmly:

"Firstly, the Zhou family has been quiet for too long, and some people have begun to get restless."

Secondly: I can overlook the humiliation I suffer, but the disgrace to my family is unforgivable.

Thirdly: Mengyue is my fiancée. I will completely cut off any thoughts of anyone who tries to lay a hand on her.

Now, with favorable timing, location, and human factors, it's all the will of Heaven.

Upon hearing this, the two elderly people's faces were filled with admiration.

As expected of their chosen successor, he remains consistently steady and reliable at all times.

This mindset and wisdom will ensure the Zhou family's prosperity for a hundred years.

The old man continued, "Hmm, not bad! If both families pursue this matter, how do you plan to respond?"

"Grandpa, the first lesson you taught me when I was nine years old was to be prepared for danger in times of peace."

Upon hearing Zhou Shi'an's words, Old Master Zhou was clearly taken aback.

So much time has passed, yet this kid still remembers it so clearly?

The next moment, Zhou Shi'an's voice rang out again.

"Life is a long journey, and one should not judge a hero by temporary success or failure. This is a point that I will always keep in mind."

Therefore, this move was not accidental, but inevitable.

Even if we were facing provocations from other families today, the result would be the same.

As for the Xiao and Du families, their concern shouldn't be how to punish us, but whether they can withstand my wrath!

At this moment, a confident and domineering aura emanated from Zhou Shi'an.

The room was unusually quiet; everyone was stunned, as if they were seeing him in a completely new light.

The two elderly people originally thought that Zhou Shi'an was a highly intelligent and outstanding family heir.

In retrospect, they underestimated each other; this was clearly a formidable and ruthless leader!

After a long silence, Old Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but sigh.

Zhou Shijin, puzzled, hurriedly asked, "Grandma, what's wrong?"

"Sigh... Your older brother is just too steady. He considers everything carefully in everything he does."

Actually, I hope he acted impulsively today.

Young people should be energetic; your older brother's behavior is too tiring!

Upon hearing his grandmother's words, Zhou Shi'an immediately smiled:

"Thank you for your concern, Grandpa and Grandma. It is my responsibility."

Being able to protect my loved ones doesn't make me feel tired; on the contrary, I find joy in it.

Grandma Zhou shook her head helplessly: "You are always so sensible that it breaks my heart."

Alright, we're at ease leaving the family in your hands.

You can handle the rest yourself; don't hold back.

You two brothers must be tired today, go back to your rooms and rest.

"Yes, Grandpa and Grandma!" the two brothers replied and turned to leave.

Once the two figures disappeared from sight, Old Master Zhou glared fiercely at Zhou Xubai.

"Hmph, you troublesome thing. If you were even slightly capable, my precious grandson wouldn't have to work so hard."

As he spoke, he took his wife's hand and walked away into the distance.

"No? What do you mean?" Zhou Xubai looked at his parents' backs and then at his wife.

"I disagree with that. My son has the makings of a hero, so what if I'm just an ordinary person? What's wrong with that?"

Wen Shuran: "..."
