"Enough!" Mr. Zhou lashed out. He did not think that Zhou Weiqi's action of not giving his seat away was wrong. He was angry, however, at Zhou Weiqi for not stopping Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Ning's shenanigans at the charity auction.
How could Mr. Zhou not know his wife and daughter's temperament? That was why he was mad at Zhou Weiqi; he did nothing to salvage the Zhou family's reputation!
"I heard from your mother that your buddies know who the Divine Doctor is? It seems like the Divine Doctor is competent, especially in mending broken bones. You know how cousin Du Chen is right now. Why don't you ask your buddies to connect the Divine Doctor to the Du family, and see if he can actually fix his leg for good?" Mr. Zhou said.
Zhou Weiqi lifted his head up abruptly after hearing Mr. Zhou's statement. His lips slowly curled into a wry smile.
"Dad, don't you think it's ludicrous that a lowly person like me, who is also an illegitimate son, can actually do the things that worthy people like you can't even manage to do?"
His tone of voice was sardonic. "Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you used to say that I'm naïve and dumb, and being taken advantage of by them? Who am I to them now? Their parents? Their superiors? Why should they help me, no, why should they help the Zhou family?"
Mr. Zhou certainly heard the sarcasm and taunt in Zhou Weiqi's reply and understood his anger and disappointment toward himself as his father. He sat there in silence, unable to say anything.
