To Su Qichuan, based on Zhou Yu's current displayed abilities, if this child were a member of the Zhou family, he would certainly not be an insignificant peripheral disciple.
So young, with extraordinary medical skills, and also a martial arts master!
Such a talented young man, like unpolished jade, would the Zhou family not spare no effort to nurture him with all their resources?
The Su family wished for a talented descendant like Zhou Yu, but they hadn't even had the chance!
"Old Man's move is brilliant!"
Su Qichuan couldn't help but admire his father in his heart.
Old Master Su's arrangement of a childhood engagement between Su Yuyan and Zhou Yu was truly farsighted!
If his deductions were correct, his niece's future would undoubtedly be bright.
"Big brother is simply foolish to go for the distant and neglect the near."
Su Qichuan thought again.
His elder brother, Su Qishan, had abandoned Zhou Yu, a good son-in-law, and instead intended to marry his daughter into the Zhang family, which was utterly senseless.
However, Su Qichuan overlooked one point.
How could a snobbish person like Su Qishan abandon the greater for the lesser?
It was just that Su Qichuan hadn't realized it at the time.
What Zhou Yu said next happened to seal off all his speculations.
"Uncle Chuan, you're not thinking that I might be from the Zhou family, are you?" Zhou Yu chuckled.
After some investigation, he was certain that he had once been a member of the Zhou family.
But since the Zhou family had abandoned him, he would absolutely not return, nor would he acknowledge himself as a Zhou family disciple.
In this life, Zhou Yu only had the old man as his relative!
Who his biological parents were was no longer important.
Moreover, judging by Su Qichuan's demeanor, he did not seem to have learned from Old Master Su or Su Qishan that he was a discarded member of the Zhou family.
It was not surprising that Leng Xue knew Zhou Yu's origins.
This girl had a formidable background and extensive intelligence channels. Even if her elders refused to tell her, she could easily discover the background of her fiancé.
As for Su Qishan, he must have learned the information from Old Master Su.
After all, the former was Su Yuyan's biological father, and even if Old Master Su wanted to hide it, it would likely be impossible.
As for Su Qichuan, it was perfectly reasonable that he did not know Zhou Yu's identity.
Firstly, he was only Su Yuyan's second uncle. Secondly, Su Qishan had always guarded against his younger brother.
Furthermore.
Even Dr. Zhao didn't understand Zhou Yu's background, did he?
"Do you truly have no connection with the Zhou family in Jiangnan?" Su Qichuan asked.
It was hard to comprehend.
If Zhou Yu were not a member of the Zhou family, then how could he possess both superb medical skills and martial arts mastery?
Was it solely based on his master?
Su Qichuan had never met Zhou Yu's master and could not imagine what kind of expert the latter was.
"Uncle Chuan, regarding my background, you can ask Old Master Su. It would be more appropriate for him to tell you than for me. I have the surname Zhou, but that doesn't mean I will be associated with those named Zhou." Zhou Yu said.
While saying this, he deliberately displayed a hint of displeasure.
Zhou Yu knew that Su Qichuan was a smart man, and upon seeing his expression, he should stop pressing the issue.
And indeed, that was the case.
Seeing this, Su Qichuan stopped dwelling on the topic.
Instead, he began to inquire about other matters.
Zhou Yu was a distinguished guest of the Su family, a great benefactor to Old Master Su. There was no reason for him to displease the former.
At Su Qichuan's age, the word 'diplomatic' had already been mastered to perfection.
...
The lunch prepared by the Su family at noon was very generous.
Even though Old Master Su and Su Yuyan sat beside Zhou Yu, he still ate heartily.
"Eat slowly, there are many more dishes to come. Don't worry, you'll definitely get your fill," Su Yuyan joked.
Although her grandfather sat in a wheelchair to eat, she, as his granddaughter, was already very pleased that his mentality had changed and he had returned to the right track.
Moreover, today, his second uncle and cousin had also returned to the old house.
The Su family appeared much livelier than before.
Su Yuyan had not experienced this kind of 'family' atmosphere for a long time.
And all of this was thanks to Zhou Yu!
"It's a pity, if Second Aunt were also here." Su Yuyan sighed slightly.
The second uncle's family was forced to move far away to Jiangnan, all because of her father, Su Qishan.
"It's alright, Yuyan. Your Second Aunt is a workaholic. She can't stand to be idle for a moment. She's probably still working overtime right now."
Su Qichuan comforted his niece when he saw her expression of regret.
His move to Yunhai with his wife and son to settle in Jiangnan and manage the branch company could be considered a blessing in disguise.
In fact, the branch company's current operational status was quite good.
Compared to the beginning, there was a world of difference.
"According to Second Uncle, you and Second Aunt must have run the branch company quite well."
"Not at all, it's all thanks to your Second Aunt. Without her, I wouldn't have been able to manage it alone."
"Second Uncle and Second Aunt's relationship is truly enviable. After so many years, it's still so good."
"Yuyan, you jest. You and Little Yu just got married, haven't you even had your honeymoon yet? Why don't you take some time off and go on a trip for ten days to half a month?"
"A honeymoon is probably out of the question."
Su Yuyan and Su Qichuan chatted back and forth, but her eyes kept glancing at someone.
However, Zhou Yu was solely focused on eating and didn't notice her at all.
Seeing this, Old Master Su glared fiercely at Su Xingyang.
Before the meal, he had just instructed Su Xingyang to give Su Yuyan some ideas.
Who would have thought that his grandson would not say a word at the table and would pretend to be dead the whole time?
This almost infuriated Old Master Su.
No one knows a child better than their father.
Su Qichuan, catching the meaning from Old Master Su's gaze, kicked his son under the table.
"..."
Su Xingyang, who had been silently eating, knew he could no longer hide.
With no other choice, he braced himself and said to Zhou Yu, "Brother-in-law, are you free these past two days? If you are, I'd like my cousin to accompany you and take me to see some nearby attractions."
"Does it take that many people for this?" Zhou Yu asked, surprised.
Although Su Xingyang and Su Yuyan were cousins, their relationship was not unlike that of ordinary siblings.
Zhou Yu thought that he didn't need to go along.
Moreover, he might not be interested in the things Su Xingyang wanted to do.
"Brother-in-law, you wouldn't understand. There are many fun things now, and most of them require a group of people to play. If you don't go, and it's just me and my cousin, she's so beautiful that some lecherous individuals might..."
Su Xingyang made a suggestive gesture at this point.
Zhou Yu was depressed.
Why did he have to act as a bodyguard too?
This cousin was playing games, but he was making things difficult for him.
If he went, Zhou Yu really didn't want to.
But if he didn't go, and Su Yuyan was taken advantage of by someone else, he would feel terrible.
