The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

Many of the elderly from the Jing'an Zhou Family were moved.

Originally, they thought that, as outsiders, even though they were also surnamed Zhou, their connection with the Huadu Zhou Family members wasn't deep; inevitably, they would be subjected to exclusion.

But now, the second master of the Zhou Family, Zhou Jiandong, had shown them through his actions that they would not only not be ostracized, they would receive the warmest of welcomes!

Zhou An and others got out of the car, and Zhou An smiled, "Brother Jiandong, you've worked hard, and all our family members have as well!"

Zhou Jian Dong laughed, "We are all members of the Zhou Family, why distinguish between the core and external clan? From today onwards, just like a hundred years ago, we are all members of the Zhou family!"

"Haha! Wonderful!"

The people brought by Zhou Jiandong quickly mingled with those from the Jing'an Zhou Family, establishing all sorts of close connections and networking.

Upon arriving at the villas arranged by Zhou Jiandong, they settled in.

Meanwhile, Zhou Jiandong and Zhou An went to Zhou Jiandong's office.

A housemaid poured tea for the two of them, and Zhou Jiandong started, "Brother Zhou An, you didn't encounter any mishaps on the road, did you?"

Zhou An laughed, "No, there weren't any. We thought Xu Hao that brat would send someone to intercept us, but surprisingly, he didn't react at all."

"Haha, that kid is only all brawn and no brains. When it comes to a contest of wits, how could he possibly be our match? He might have had some suspicions about the Xu Liu Group's affairs before, but after this time, I'm afraid he won't have a place for doubt anymore," Zhou Jiandong said with a laugh.

"Exactly! That kid is just ridiculously tall; everything else about him doesn't really add up. But since we're new here and want to grow, we'll have to rely on Brother Jiandong's help in the future!"

"It's only right, it's only right. From today, we are indistinguishable as one."

"I wonder, Brother Jiandong, how confident are you now about that matter?"

"If it were before, I'd only have a thirty percent chance, but now, I have at least a seventy percent confidence!"

"Seventy percent is enough to take a gamble!"

The two old foxes looked at each other and smiled, beginning to conspire about their next steps for development.

...

Meanwhile, Xu Hao had once again come to Huadu.

To the home of You Yaozong.

When Xu Hao saw You Yaozong again, You Yaozong had become a shadow of his former self.

Describing him as skin and bones would not be an overstatement at this point.

In just half a month, the double blow of career and family made him utterly dispirited. He spent his days drowning his sorrows in alcohol, but alas, it only added to his grief.

Xu Hao sighed lightly, the former You Yaozong, with his steadily rising career and a loving wife at home, had a double harvest of career and love. To others, he appeared to have a blessed life, but unfortunately, just by inadvertently getting involved in the Zhou family dispute, he was demoted, his career severely impacted, and his wife left him out of fear.

Was it wrong for You Yaozong to save someone?

Not at all!

Unfortunately, the other party forcibly blamed him, causing him to suffer a punishment he should not have to bear.

Xu Hao felt nothing but sympathy for him.

He said, "Director You, now that I'm here, I will help you seek justice and ensure that the accountable party receives their due punishment."

You Yaozong sighed and said, "Ah, I've lived for half my life, and through this ordeal, some things I have come to understand clearly. For someone without a prominent background, surviving under the oppression of those great clans is so very difficult."

Xu Hao shook his head gently, "If you think that way, then you're mistaken. The ancestors of those great families and powers couldn't have possibly all been born into established clans, right? It can be said that they too came from humble beginnings, but later they developed into great families and powers. If they can do it, why can't we? If you keep holding on to that mindset, even if I help you get through this difficulty, in the end, you'll just lead a muddled existence and accomplish nothing."

"Then... what do you suggest I do?" asked You Yaozong, at this moment devoid of any ideas, knowing only that following Xu Hao was definitely right.

Xu Hao patted his shoulder and said, "The Zhou family is one of the Four Great Families of Huadu; the power of Zhou Jiandong, the second son of the Zhou family, is certainly not small. Moreover, the Patriarch of the Zhou family, Zhou Changcun, has been seriously injured, which means Zhou Jiandong's power has grown even more. To weaken Zhou Jiandong's power, one could start with Zhou Changcun."

You Yaozong immediately understood some of it and quickly said, "I can't heal Zhou Changcun's injuries; I can only barely keep him alive. Are you saying?"

"Exactly!"

Xu Hao said, "I will step in and cure his injuries. I have had some minor conflicts with his daughter Zhou Shuran, but there is no deep-seated hatred. Although Zhou Yang once sent someone to assassinate me, he is Zhou Jiandong's son. I make a clear distinction between gratitude and grudges, and naturally will not involve the entire Zhou family. Besides, Zhou Changcun has always been at odds with his father. The enemy of an enemy is a friend, so I am also willing to help him out a bit."

You Yaozong said with joy, "That's not a small favor at all, it's a massive one! With your help, Zhou Changcun's injuries will definitely be completely cured!"

Xu Hao smiled slightly, this also presented an opportunity to promote Xu Liu Group's cosmetics on a large scale in Huadu.
