Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 937: Chapter 936: Young Master Zhao Confesses to Gu Tong (Part 1)

Mrs. Zhao lowered her voice and said, ”I knew it, this brat can’t sit still. He’s been missing all day, up to no good!”

Zhao Xiangyun said nonchalantly, ”Mom, do you think Siyu might be upset about you picking a wife for him, so he’s deliberately causing a commotion...”

This event could be kindly called a banquet, but unkindly it’s just a public marriage selection.

Mrs. Zhao was worried to death over Zhao Siyu’s marriage. With no other options, she came up with this tactic.

Mrs. Zhao glared, angrily saying, ”Who knows what this rascal wants? If he isn’t happy with Qiao Sisi, he could have just told me directly! There’s no need to make a scene like this; if word gets out, it’ll be terribly embarrassing.”

Zhao Xiangyun shook her head and said, ”If Siyu doesn’t want to marry, there’s nothing we can do. You’ve been busy for nothing...”

”When men reach Siyu’s age, they should be married, just like you were at his age!” Mrs. Zhao struck the floor with her cane forcefully and said, ”Think of a way to drag this brat back later!”

Zhao Xiangyun: ”...”

Mrs. Zhao spoils her own little Demon King but doesn’t want to offend him, leaving Zhao Xiangyun to be the bad guy.

Feeling extremely troubled, Zhao Xiangyun confessed, ”I can’t even drag him...”

Though she was his aunt,

her words clearly didn’t carry much weight.

Usually, if she said three sentences, Zhao Siyu would counter with three. If he listened to half a sentence, it was a miracle.

Mrs. Zhao, unhappy, said, ”Useless!”

However...

With things as they were, she had no other choice. She had to try bringing Zhao Siyu over herself.

...

”Good evening, everyone.”

At some point, Zhao Siyu’s piano performance finally ended. He stood on stage, holding a microphone, and said, ”Thank you all for attending today’s banquet arranged by my grandmother. As the heir of the Zhao Family, I welcome everyone here.”

Zhao Siyu’s tone was calm, and he spoke all pleasantries, making it impossible to find fault.

’Clap clap clap—’

The guests graciously applauded, enthusiastically showing support.

Of course, this respect wasn’t directed at Zhao Siyu, but entirely at the Zhao Family behind him.

The applause was thunderous, cheers joyful, yet Zhao Siyu didn’t seem moved. Instead, he continued as per the script, ”In life, there are always times of youthful beauty, like the first encounter with love, the moment you meet the first girl you admire! That’s when you understand the true meaning of life, what real love is!”

The tone suddenly shifted and became strange!

The crowd was all bewildered, perplexed.

They had no idea what Zhao Siyu was trying to convey.

Even Mrs. Zhao, who was struggling to climb the ladder to the stage, suddenly stopped in her tracks. She widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at her grandson on stage.

She wondered if the brat had come to his senses and actually taken a liking to another family’s girl...

At the same time, all the guests had similar thoughts, as most of the people present were established adults who had experienced such matters.

...

”Actually, for a long time, I haven’t believed in love, because there isn’t a love in this world as steadfast as that of my parents.”

His parents died due to a conspiracy. At the time, Zhao father was murdered by attackers while protecting Zhao mother, who then fought desperately to avenge her husband, ultimately losing her life to the opponent’s knife.
