Chapter 1041 Good Brothers

Zhou Huanhuan felt guilty and turned to look at Zhou Xingwang, "Dad...you...you should also hire a lawyer for me, the best one."

Zhou Xingwang shook his head and said calmly, "I won't ask you. I couldn't control you before, but now I don't want to. I don't want to care whether you live or die, whether you're good or bad."

Seeing that his father was no longer as furious as before, but instead looked disheartened, Zhou Huanhuan panicked and said, "Dad, I was wrong. Please save me..."

Zhou Xingwang turned away, not looking at Zhou Huanhuan. His disappointment in Zhou Huanhuan had reached its peak. Zhang Xiufang was right. It was his repeated attempts to clean up Zhou Huanhuan's messes, without letting her learn a real lesson, that had driven her to become even more reckless and unruly.

If this continued, Zhou Huanhuan would only become more and more excessive, offending more and more people, and eventually he would be unable to resolve the situation. Since this was the case, Zhou Xingwang felt that he couldn't bear to punish his daughter, so he decided to let the state take care of her.

Things were simple after that, Zhou Huanhuan was detained.

Zhang Xiufang refused to agree to a settlement and insisted on suing, requiring legal action. Zhou Xingwang, unwilling to stay home, handed over the work to his deputy, bought a ticket, and traveled abroad.

This incident made Zhou Xingwang completely sober up. From now on, he would no longer care about these kinds of shitty things. If anyone dared to cause trouble, he would call the police and have them arrested. If the police didn't arrest them, he would beat them up, and beat them up hard.

Sure enough, Qiao Yun and her husband showed up to cause trouble and were not only beaten but also arrested. Zhou Huanhuan was sentenced to one year and three months in prison for insulting, threatening, and slandering Zhang Xiufang.

Zhou Huanhuan was completely dumbfounded. Only then did she realize that her father really didn't care about her anymore, and no one else would let her go.

Zhou Xingwang returned from abroad only after Zhou Huanhuan's sentencing was finalized. He wasn't the least bit sad about the outcome, but instead felt a sense of relief.

While his daughter was imprisoned and Qiao Yun and her husband were detained, Zhou Xingwang finally felt completely relieved after they were released and expelled from Sifang Island.

But although Zhou Xingwang felt relieved, he still had a gloomy face. The hotel's business was as good as ever, but he was not happy and often smoked alone.

Sun Youcai finished packing up his stall, washed his hands, and took a cigarette out of his pocket, handing it to Zhou Xingwang. "Didn't you say you'd let it go? Why are you worried now?"

Zhou Xingwang took the cigarette from Sun Youcai, looked at it in his hand, and curled his lips. "You can make millions a year, so why would you smoke this kind of cigarette?"

"If you don't want to smoke, forget it!" Sun Youcai was so angry that he wanted to snatch the cigarette back. "You've just had a few good days and you're already showing off? I just think this cigarette has a good flavor. I don't like other cigarettes."

Zhou Xingwang chuckled and dodged Sun Youcai's hand, preventing him from snatching the cigarette away. "I haven't smoked this kind of cigarette for a long time. Let me try it."

Sun Youcai stopped snatching. "It's really pitiful to see you alone, looking at the sea with worries. I was worried that you would jump into the sea because you were so depressed."

Zhou Xingwang rolled his eyes. "I'm not jumping into the sea. If I die one day, and I choose to die by jumping into the sea, it must be someone's fault. I can live a good life, why would I want to die? Only a fool would do that."

Sun Youcai took a drag on his cigarette and slowly blew out smoke rings. "Ah, our two families have been poor since childhood. Back then, my family was so poor that we could barely make ends meet, but you helped me out because we were relatives. Although our personalities don't match, I'm truly grateful to you."

"When we were young, I scolded you for being stupid behind your back when I saw you being tormented by Qiao Yun. We quarreled because I didn't want to see my best friend being played around by a woman. But in your heart, even if she was lying to you, she was still your sweetheart. Later, when you divorced, I thought you would figure it out and live a good life. But... hey, your daughter has started to make trouble again..."

Zhou Xingwang smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Youcai, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. She's my daughter, and I... I really can't bear to see her suffer. This time, alas, she's hit a wall with the Liu family. I don't dare and don't want to defend this damn girl anymore. I'm afraid I'll get into trouble too."

"Finally, you've come to your senses!" Sun Youcai took over. "The Liu family is reasonable, but that's no excuse for Zhou Huanhuan to act recklessly, nor is it an excuse for you to favor your daughter. In short, you better stop being confused."

Zhou Xingwang nodded. "I'm not confused anymore. The Liu family is reasonable and didn't take their anger out on me, but what if it were someone else? What if Zhou Huanhuan offends other rich and powerful people again? Then not only will Huanhuan be in trouble, but I'll be finished too."

Sun Youcai was filled with emotion. "That's right. Now that you've figured it out, don't be upset anymore. While you're still young, find a partner and have a child. Don't count on Zhou Huanhuan. When you're old, not only will she not provide for you, she might even throw you into the sea and drown you."

Zhou Xingwang nodded again, "Youcai, I understand. I understand all of this. Although the Liu family didn't implicate me this time, it was still my fault. I'm worried about how to apologize to the Liu family."

Sun Youcai thought for a moment and said, "Xingwang, you're right. We should go to the Liu family to apologize. They're so generous, we shouldn't be ungrateful. Don't feel embarrassed, I'll go with you when the time comes."

After all, the business that Liu Meilan introduced to them was very profitable, and Sun Youcai was very grateful. Naturally, he hoped that his good brother could cheer up and not have any rift with the Liu family.

Zhou Xingwang smiled and said, "Then can you help me think of a suitable gift?"

Sun Youcai thought for a moment and said, "We know seafood best, so let's go to the market and buy the best quality fish maw and sea cucumber, and add some other high-end dried seafood."

"The Liu family doesn't need these, does it?" Zhou Xingwang was a little confused, thinking Sun Youcai's suggestion wasn't a good one. Sun Youcai rolled his eyes. "Everyone says you're smart, but I think you're just pretending to be smart. Your ability to make money before was at most due to your courage and good luck. The Liu family doesn't need these, but our gifts are a token of our appreciation. Besides, even if the Liu family doesn't use them themselves, don't they still buy a lot of high-end seafood every year to mail to friends and family? What we send them is all good stuff, and even if they don't eat it themselves, isn't it appropriate to give it to others?"

After hearing this, Zhou Xingwang's eyes lit up, "Youcai, I think you are more and more shrewd now!"

Sun Youcai raised his chin proudly. "Of course, I'm much smarter than you. Let's send something over as an apology. If the Liu family accepts it, it means they don't mind you. If not, I suggest you be more low-key in the future."

Zhou Xingwang nodded repeatedly, agreeing deeply, "That's right. This time, by offending Zhang Xiufang, we are actually offending the Liu family. We can make a fortune thanks to the help of Liu Meilan and the Liu family. We must be aware of this."

Sun Youcai also nodded. "That's right. Anyway, don't worry about your daughter anymore. If she has any conscience, she wouldn't go to such lengths with you. Even if there is family planning, don't worry about it. Have a few more children, and she'll naturally be less interested in Zhou Huanhuan."

Zhou Xingwang's face showed bitterness. "But the key is, I can't find a suitable family on the island. I don't dare to look for one elsewhere because I don't know them well."

Sun Youcai thought for a moment and said, "I do have a candidate. It's my wife's cousin, a primary school teacher in the city. She's thirty years old, much younger than you, and she's getting married for the first time."

Zhou Xingwang's eyes showed confusion, "Is there something wrong with that girl?"
