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

"Dad, Mom, thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept these shares."

Upon hearing Zhou Shi'an's words, Zhou Shijin hurriedly chimed in, "If Big Brother doesn't want it, neither do I!"

Upon seeing this, the couple immediately became anxious.

However, before they could speak, Zhou Shi'an preemptively said:

"If everyone trusts me, I can continue to serve as the group's president."

However, the shares are too complicated, and I don't want to cause too much trouble because of my own actions.

"Giving it all to your younger brother is enough; you still need to keep some shares in your own hands."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xubai's face instantly turned cold.

"Let's see who dares to challenge me. The shares belong to me. If anyone has any objections, I'll beat them to a pulp!"

Besides, the shares are useless to me.

As he said this, a hint of pride unconsciously flashed in his eyes:

"Your dad is lucky. I sponged off my parents when I was a kid, and I sponged off my parents after I got married. Now that you're all grown up, I'll sponge off you from now on."

Upon hearing this, the mother and her two children were speechless for a moment.

Goodness, what's so glorious about this that he's actually proud of it?

Although Wen Shuran disliked her husband's shameless manner, she still persuaded him, "That's right!"

Shi An, you need to understand a mother's desire to make amends to her son.

"If you don't accept the shares, Shi Jin won't accept them either. Won't that upset Mom and Dad?"

Seeing this, Zhou Shijin chimed in, "No problem, big brother, you're a domineering CEO, when did you become so indecisive?"

We're family, why be so formal? Don't you think so?

Zhou Shi'an was visibly taken aback by the genuine emotions displayed by the three men.

Yes, I seem to have gotten used to living behind a mask and to being bound by rules.

But the person in front of me had raised me for over twenty years, and I had given him everything I had.

It was me who was being petty.

If I ever end up leaving the Zhou family, I'll just return the shares to my parents.

After figuring everything out, Zhou Shi'an smiled gratefully at the couple and said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. I'll accept the shares!"

As he spoke, he took the document and signed his name on it without hesitation.

"Dad, Mom, thank you so much! You're both so kind!"

Zhou Shijin also expressed his gratitude and signed his name on the document.

Upon seeing this, the couple exchanged a smile.

"Shi Jin, now that you're back, what are your plans for the future?"

Mom heard you didn't continue your studies after graduating high school. If you want to go to university, Mom can arrange it for you.

Upon hearing Wen Shuran's words, Zhou Shijin shuddered.

What a joke! The thing he dislikes most in his life is reading.

When I was in school, looking at those books felt like reading Buddhist scriptures, and my head would buzz.

If it weren't for Old Deng's tough methods, he wouldn't even want to finish junior high school.

Without thinking too much, he hurriedly said, "Mom, to be honest, I'm just not cut out for studying."

"Having an older brother who's a top student is enough for our family. Um, I want to follow in his footsteps from now on."

Although Wen Shuran felt something was amiss, her guilt towards Zhou Shijin made her respect his choice.

So she nodded without saying a word.

Zhou Shi'an's expression turned somewhat strange.

What does it mean to follow me?

I'm a decent person, okay? People who don't know me might think I'm a gangster!

Zhou Shijin was afraid that his elder brother would misunderstand that he had any ulterior motives, so he hurriedly explained:

"Well, I'm a lazy person by nature. In my hometown dialect, I'm a lazy bum!"

He has absolutely no interest in family businesses or anything like that.

I'll be your assistant, even just carry your bag for you.

Big brother, you won't look down on me, will you?

Zhou Shi'an felt that keeping his not-so-bright younger brother by his side might cause some trouble.

But meeting the other person's sincere gaze, he nodded and said, "Okay!"

Upon seeing this, Zhou Shijin excitedly slapped his thigh.

"Oh my god, it's done!"

From now on, big brother, you'll be responsible for earning money to support the family, and I'll be responsible for being beautiful—oops, I'll be responsible for squandering the family fortune! I'm so old!

Everyone: "..."

Zhou Xubai nodded in satisfaction: "Good, as expected of my son, just like me!"

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he turned his gaze to Zhou Shi'an.

"Shi An, there's something I forgot to tell you."

The Liu family called me this morning. I don't know who leaked your background, but it's about your marriage to them...

Before he could finish speaking, a maid rushed into the living room.

"Master and Madam, Miss Liu Mengyue from the Liu family has come to pay a visit."

Zhou Xubai frowned: "Yes, please come in."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the living room became somewhat strange.

Zhou Shi'an's expression remained unchanged, and he showed no inner turmoil whatsoever.

He wasn't a simp or a domineering protagonist, and he didn't even care that much about getting married.

There was no real affection between them to begin with, so even if he came to break off the engagement, he wouldn't feel any resentment.

Little did anyone know, Zhou Shijin's expression suddenly changed.

In his past life, he was a troublemaker and knew nothing about Miss Liu.

He never even saw Miss Liu before he died.

Now that the other party has suddenly come to visit, could it be because they have learned that my elder brother is not of the Zhou family bloodline, and therefore they have come to break off the engagement?

This is outrageous! My elder brother is a woman, how dare she humiliate him?

But this is also a good opportunity for me to show my loyalty to my elder brother.

I want to see what kind of monster this Liu Mengyue is!

With that thought in mind, he stared intently at the doorway.

The next moment, a girl dressed in black sportswear, wearing a baseball cap, and with fair skin stepped into the villa.

"Uncle Zhou, Aunt Wen, hello. Please forgive me for disturbing you so abruptly."

The girl's voice was beautiful, as melodious as a lark's.

Although the couple guessed the other party's intentions, as elders, they couldn't very well give a young girl a hard time.

Wen Shuran smiled gently: "Mengyue is here, please have a seat."

"Thank you, Auntie!" Liu Mengyue said, but instead of sitting down, she turned her gaze to Zhou Shi'an.

"Hmph, Zhou Shi'an! You..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Shijin suddenly stood up.

"So you're Liu Mengyue. Let me tell you, this is the Zhou family home, not a place for you to run wild."

Liu Mengyue suddenly turned her head, her big, round eyes fixed on Zhou Shijin.

"Who are you?"

Zhou Shijin couldn't help but laugh sarcastically: "Ha~~~ A pig with a scallion stuck in its nose—pretending to be an elephant!"

You're here to break off the engagement because you know about my brother's situation, right? You don't know who I am?

"I'm making this clear: even if the marriage falls through, it will be my older brother who rejects you, not you who comes to break off the engagement."

Liu Mengyue's eyebrows shot up in anger: "You, you...you pretty boy, who said I came here to annul the engagement?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shijin's face showed a hint of suspicion, and he carefully examined the other party.

Then, as if he had figured something out, he unconsciously pursed his lips.

"Heh~~ Then you've miscalculated."

Let me be frank with you, don't be obsessed with me, I'm just a legend.

Don't think that just because you broke off the engagement, you can set your sights on me. You'll never have me.

Did you understand, little shorty?

As he spoke, Zhou Shijin glanced sideways at Liu Mengyue, who was a head shorter than him.
