Chapter 234 Why is my stepbrother doing this?
So when Zhou's father and Wei's mother returned home, they were surprised to find that their two children were not at home.
A trace of doubt arose in Zhou's father's heart, and he hurriedly asked Wu Ma what had happened.
Aunt Wu told him that the two children had just moved out yesterday.
After hearing this, Zhou's father almost laughed out of anger.
He couldn't help but curse, "This brat is really getting more and more disrespectful! As soon as I came back, he couldn't wait to run out and live with Xiaoyu. Does he think he has grown up and can disobey his parents' arrangements?"
There was a hint of dissatisfaction and worry in Zhou's father's tone.
Unlike Zhou's father, Wei's mother just smiled gently and didn't say anything.
In fact, she missed her daughter very much in her heart, but she had a good impression of Zhou Chongjing. In her eyes, Zhou Chongjing was gentle, steady, down-to-earth, and a good and polite child.
Therefore, after learning that he and Wei Mingyu moved away together, Wei's mother felt relieved. She believed that with Zhou Chongjing taking care of her, her daughter would definitely live a good life.
On the other side, Zhou Chongjing couldn't wait to tidy up the house near the school and moved in with Wei Mingyu.
He was cutting vegetables when he received the call from Zhou's father. It was inconvenient to cut vegetables with the phone in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, so he put the phone aside and turned on the speaker.
Suddenly, Zhou's father's rude scolding was heard, causing Wei Mingyu, who was watching TV in the living room, to look over.
"You little brat, your Aunt Wei and I are back today, why don't you go home and have dinner!"
Father Zhou talked a lot, but the person on the other side was not listening at all. He was frowning and looking through the recipe in front of him, worrying about what dish to cook next.
When he moved here, he didn't think about the problem of eating. It was not until it was time to eat that he realized that usually it was Wu Ma who cooked for them, but now it was just the two of them here.
Zhou Chongjing didn't want others to intrude into their private space, and ordering takeout was not a long-term solution, so he decided to cook for Wei Mingyu himself.
So in the afternoon, he placed an order online and had someone deliver a bunch of ingredients to cook for Wei Mingyu.
When Zhou's father finally got tired of scolding, he suddenly heard the sound of a kitchen knife cutting vegetables from the microphone. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Smelly boy, are you cooking?"
"Yeah." Zhou Chongjing responded perfunctorily.
Zhou's father on the other end of the phone fell silent.

Father Zhou looked at the table full of delicious dishes in front of him and felt a little curious. He knew his son's ability very well. Although he had some common sense, he had basically never been in the kitchen to cook.
After hanging up the phone with Zhou Chongjing, he couldn't sit still anymore, so he took Wei's mother and rushed to the house where they lived.
"Hmm? It's actually not bad!" After picking up a piece of fish and tasting it, Zhou's father couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaimed in surprise.
"Brat, when did your cooking skills become so good?" Zhou's father put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhou Chongjing in confusion.
However, at this time Zhou Chongjing didn't pay any attention to what his father was saying. He just said a few perfunctory words absent-mindedly.
In fact, at this moment, all of Zhou Chongjing's attention was focused on Wei Mingyu, who was eating beside him with sparkling eyes.
Whenever Wei Mingyu cast his gaze at Zhou Chongjing, Zhou Chongjing would unconsciously straighten his back, with a proud and reserved expression on his face.
After all, Zhou's father is an old fox who has been in the business world for many years. At first, he didn't notice the difference in Zhou Chongjing's treatment of Wei Mingyu, but gradually he noticed something wrong from his actions.
After dinner, Zhou's father suddenly called Zhou Chongjing into his room with a sullen face.
"Tell me, what's going on between you and Xiaoyu?"
Zhou Chongjing was not surprised by his father's questioning. He had never thought about hiding it from the beginning, or he didn't want to hide it at all.
"I want to be with Mingyu." If he was facing Wei's mother, he might not say it so directly, but in front of his father, he had to say it clearly.
Zhou's father looked at his son in shock. Although he had a vague answer in his mind, he still held on to a glimmer of hope.
Zhou Chongjing's words directly shattered his luck. Zhou's father was immediately furious and roared, "She is your sister now!"
Zhou Chongjing said calmly: "We are not related by blood."
Wei Mingyu's household registration was not moved to the Zhou family. She was still in a separate household registration book with Wei's mother. This was also Wei's mother's request. After all, she felt that it was a great blessing for her to marry into the Zhou family and did not want others to look down on them.
However, this made things convenient for Zhou Chongjing.
"You bastard, get out of here!" Zhou's father's face was full of disappointment. He pointed his finger at the door and said angrily.
Zhou Zhongjing chuckled and said nonchalantly: "I'm sorry, father, but this is Mingyu and I's home. If you want to leave, it's you who should leave."
"Rebellious son!" Zhou's father was so angry that he was shaking all over, his eyes were wide open, and his eyeballs were almost popping out. His angry roar seemed to shake the whole room down.
Although the room was well soundproofed, some of Zhou's father's roar could still be heard.
Mother Wei clenched her fingers in a somewhat uneasy manner. Normally, Father Zhou always maintained a graceful appearance in front of her. Even if he would occasionally scold his son, he would do so with a smile.
However, he had never lost his composure like that before today, which made her a little worried.
"Mom, don't worry. I believe my brother can handle this matter." Wei Mingyu quickly held his mother's hand soothingly and consoled her in a soft voice.
After a long time, Zhou's father and Zhou Chongjing came out. Their expressions were very calm and it was hard to tell what was going on.
Father Zhou walked up to Wei Mingyu, looked at this well-behaved and ignorant girl with complicated eyes, and said earnestly: "Xiaoyu, if that brat bullies you, call Uncle Zhou and I will punish him!"
"Ah, brother didn't bully me." Wei Mingyu was a little confused. She turned around and looked at the man who had walked behind her at some point, and said in confusion.
"Dad, how could I bully Mingyu? I love her so much." Zhou Chongjing lowered his head and looked at the girl tenderly. He raised his hand and gently pinched her fair cheek, his action full of love.
The corners of Zhou's father's mouth twitched, and he wanted to go up and slap him. Are they pretending they don't exist?
"Brat, remember our agreement."
After leaving the house, Zhou's father warned Zhou Chongjing in a low voice.
Zhou Chongjing nodded slightly, "But you also have to remember to help me convince Aunt Wei."
Wei Mingyu, who had just said goodbye to her mother, came over, curious about what they were talking about in secret. However, when he saw her coming, Zhou Chongjing immediately pushed his father out and closed the door.
