After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1127: Blind Love Mess People Up
In Shao Kang’s memory, his daughter had always been proud and aloof, a true rich young lady through and through. Growing up in a good family, pampered by him, and attractive, she had always been surrounded by boys trying to win her favor, but she had never given them a second glance.
However, after meeting He Ping, it was as though she had been cursed. She became completely obsessed with He Ping, to the point of being unrecognizable. It was completely out of character for her. According to her temperament, even if she liked He Ping, she would never have allowed him to treat her so coldly, especially when he behaved so poorly toward her. She had too much pride for that.
But now, there was no trace of her old self. Shao Kang hadn’t noticed anything amiss before, but Zhouzhou’s comment made him realize that something was terribly wrong.
His expression grew serious, and he gestured for Zhouzhou to come in, saying, "Little girl, come in and sit down. Let’s talk."
His attitude had completely shifted from the earlier anger. Zhouzhou didn’t mind and followed him inside.
Qin Er and Qin Lie exchanged glances. From their previous conversation, they had already guessed something, and now they were even more curious about what had happened.
Shao Kang poured them some water, but there was no time for pleasantries. He turned to Zhouzhou and quickly asked, "Little girl, you said something’s wrong with Shanshan, what happened? Is it possible she’s possessed by a ghost or something?"
Zhouzhou gave a wry smile and looked at him. "No, nothing like that. If it were, I would have noticed when I first met her."

Back when she had read Shanshan’s fortune, Zhouzhou had focused mostly on her love life and hadn’t noticed any issues with her character. Thankfully, Ancestral Master’s talisman had alerted her to something unusual. But she still wasn’t sure what was really going on with Shanshan.
Zhouzhou asked, "Uncle, has Shanshan ever gone through anything strange or unusual?"
Shao Kang furrowed his brows, thinking carefully for a moment. After two minutes, he slowly shook his head. "No, Shanshan’s always been very capable and motivated. We had planned for her to take over the company after graduating from university. Who would have thought..."
His voice trailed off in frustration. "Who would have thought she met He Ping and started chasing after him? It’s been two years since she graduated, but she still hasn’t taken over the company."
Zhouzhou squinted her eyes. "So everything changed with He Ping, right? She started acting strangely only after meeting him?"
Shao Kang nodded firmly. "Yes, exactly."
He used to complain to himself about how hopeless a lovestruck girl Shanshan had become, but he never thought there was a deeper cause behind it.
Qin Er then spoke up. "Sometimes, love can really change a person’s character."
Zhouzhou shook her head. "That’s not it. A person’s actions will definitely be influenced by their emotions, but Shanshan’s change is way too extreme."
"The most important thing is, He Ping doesn’t deserve such a drastic change in her."
Her words struck a chord with Shao Kang.
"Exactly!" He slapped his thigh in frustration and looked at Zhouzhou with admiration, "That guy is poor, sensitive, and fake to the extreme. He’s always claiming he doesn’t care about money, but he’s obsessed with it."
Shao Kang’s face twisted in mockery.
"I don’t think there’s anything wrong with loving money."
Sometimes, it’s not about whether you like it or not. The reality is just like that.
"He Ping’s mother is sick, but it’s not like we caused it. We even gave him money for her treatment. Is there something wrong with that?"
Once he started venting, Shao Kang couldn’t stop himself.
Zhouzhou nodded in agreement, "Brother Dafu’s right, he’s just jealous of the rich."
"Exactly!" Shao Kang gave Qin Er an approving glance, becoming more and more fond of him. Not only was he diligent, but he also had good judgment.
He liked him even more.
Shao Kang began to think of a way to make Qin Er his son-in-law. With him as a son-in-law, he could be sure Shanshan would be taken good care of.
Lost in thought, Shao Kang was suddenly overcome with excitement and coughed violently. His face turned red and purple from the coughing fit.
Zhouzhou quickly checked his pulse, frowned, and took out a pill to give him.
Within moments, Shao Kang felt much better, surprised at how quickly the medicine worked. "Little girl, your medicine is really good."
Zhouzhou held him up. "Uncle, your health is poor."
Shao Kang sighed bitterly. He was well aware of his own condition, which was why he had been in such a rush to find someone who could look after Shanshan. Otherwise, he would die with regrets.
He waved his hand, not wanting to talk about it further.
Instead, he turned the conversation back to Shanshan. "Little girl, if you think something’s wrong with Shanshan, maybe it would be better to see her in person. Shall I call her over?"
Zhouzhou nodded. "Sure."
Shao Kang called Shanshan’s driver and asked where she was. After hearing the answer, his anger flared up. "Why is she going to the hospital to see that guy again?"
Shao Kang’s frustration made him cough even more.
"What’s so good about that guy that she’s so obsessed with him?"
Qin Er was also puzzled. Yesterday, Shanshan had seemed so determined. When He Ping broke up with her, she hadn’t said much, but now she was going back to him to try and get back together? Even he could sense that something was odd in the situation.
It didn’t feel right.
Zhouzhou’s face also grew serious. She suddenly stood up. "I’m going to find sister."
She had to get to the bottom of this. If she didn’t, she wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly tonight.
After making some progress with her missing Merits, she couldn’t just let this slide.
She wasn’t about to live with a missing piece of golden light on her forehead
Without a second thought, Zhouzhou turned to Qin Lie.
Seeing her expression, Qin Lie didn’t say anything. He grabbed the car keys and headed outside.
Shao Kang watched them leave and couldn’t help but click his tongue.
He had heard that Qin Lie spoiled his daughter, but he never thought it was to this extent. It was as though he had no principles—willingly accompanying her on a late-night trip without a single complaint.
He finally understood why Qin Lie would be the one to do this.
Zhouzhou’s charm was irresistible.
Thinking of this, Shao Kang hurried to follow them.
On the way, he couldn’t help but ask Zhouzhou, "Little girl, what do you think is wrong with Shanshan?"
Zhouzhou shook her head. "I don’t know. Her face and fortune don’t seem to suggest anything’s wrong."
"Then how do you explain her sudden change in character?" Shao Kang asked, confused.
Zhouzhou thought for a moment, tapping her chin. "Maybe it’s because she met someone she likes and became a hopeless lovestruck fool."
Shao Kang: "...But didn’t you just deny that yourself?"
Zhouzhou wasn’t sure either. It was just a guess.
"If that’s really the case..." she sighed. "Blind love really does mess people up."
Hearing this, Qin Lie nodded. "And it wastes money."
Qin Er added, "Look, so much money spent, and it’s all going to someone else, and she’s still getting scolded. Zhouzhou, remember, never get a boyfriend."
Zhouzhou answered firmly, "Got it!"
