The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 381 Li Ziqing's Birthday Gift (II)
Even Zhou Zhishan was curious to see what other tricks his granddaughter had up her sleeve.
At that moment, Li Ziqing took out her phone, dialed a number, and said calmly, "Xiao Nan, you can start!"
Chen Xiao was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect Xiao Nan to come along. Come to think of it, he hadn't seen that girl in a while.
"The second birthday gift has been sent. Please check it out!"
Li Ziqing said with a radiant expression.
Everyone was stunned. Wasn't it a birthday gift for Zhou Zhishan? Why was everyone supposed to receive it?
Then, a chorus of message alerts rang out in the banquet hall as everyone took out their phones to check.
Chen Xiao was among them and immediately pulled out his phone.
The message contained only a video. When he opened it, a surprised expression appeared on Chen Xiao's face, and his eyes were glued to the screen.
At the same time, gasps of surprise echoed throughout the banquet hall.
Unfortunately, Zhou Zhishan was old and didn't like carrying his phone around like young people did.
So, although the video was meant to be his second birthday gift, he was the only one who didn't receive it.
Seeing the strange expressions on everyone's faces and hearing their gasps, he frowned and looked at Zhou Tai.
"Tai'er, what are you all looking at? Bring it here for Grandpa to see!"
Zhou Tai hesitated, looking embarrassed, and stammered, "Grandpa, maybe you shouldn't watch it..."
Seeing Zhou Tai's behavior, Zhou Zhishan became even more suspicious.
He said in a low voice, "Bring it to me now!"
Zhou Tai had no choice but to hand over his phone.
As soon as Zhou Zhishan saw the video on the phone, his vision went black, and he almost fainted.
Because the phone showed a very explicit scene: a man and two women, naked and obscene...
And the man was none other than Zhou Zhishan himself.
Chen Xiao asked in a low voice, "Ziqing, I know the man, but who are these two women?"
Li Ziqing smiled slightly and said loudly, "I forgot to introduce them. One is my eldest aunt, and the other is my second aunt..."
"..."
Chen Xiao was dumbfounded. This old man was really something!
Li Ziqing deliberately spoke loudly so that everyone present could hear her.
After hearing her words, even louder gasps erupted from the crowd.
The other two protagonists in the video were nearby, heads buried low, afraid of being recognized.
If there was a crack in the floor, they would have crawled into it.
Zhou Tai looked at Zhou Xingguo in a daze and asked, "Dad, what's going on?"
Zhou Xingguo looked furious. Clearly, he had just found out about this as well.
His nose was twisted with anger, and he snorted coldly, "Don't call me Dad. Who knows who your real father is!"
"That's right. We might even be brothers..."
Zhou Tai said thoughtlessly, and Zhou Xingguo almost killed himself on the spot in anger.
It took Zhou Zhishan a while to recover. He had almost passed out from anger.
Once he recovered a little, he roared furiously, "Stop watching! Turn off your phones!"
But at this critical moment, Zhou Wen was the quickest to react.
He shouted to the crowd, "This is fake! The video is obviously photoshopped. Please don't misunderstand. This is completely malicious editing by Li Ziqing to slander and insult my grandfather. Please distinguish right from wrong and don't be blinded by such low-level tactics!"
Zhou Zhishan looked at Zhou Wen gratefully. It seemed he hadn't misjudged him. At critical moments, Zhou Wen was the one he could count on!
However, anyone with eyes could tell whether the video was real or fake.
Besides, it didn't matter whether the video was real or fake. Everyone loved gossip, and even if it was fake, it would become real now.
After tonight, this matter would spread like wildfire throughout Weicheng.
And then, the Zhou family would become the biggest laughingstock in the entire city!
Zhou Weiguo glared at Li Ziqing fiercely, "Li Ziqing, why don't you quickly clarify this to everyone? Do you want the Zhou family to be unable to hold their heads up in the future?"
Zhou Weiguo was also struggling internally. In fact, he had known about this for a long time, and it had been going on for many years.
It would be a lie to say he didn't hate it, but what was the use of hating?
Family scandals should not be aired in public. The entire Zhou family was a community of shared interests; they prospered together and suffered together.
So, over the years, he had chosen to swallow his anger!
Zhou Yuanyuan also joined in, "Ziqing, stop making trouble. Tell everyone that the video is fake..."
If she had known that things would turn out like this today, she wouldn't have let Li Ziqing attend this birthday banquet no matter what.
A perfectly good birthday banquet had become a farce, and the Zhou family had become a laughingstock in the eyes of everyone.
Zhou Yuanyuan was extremely distressed about this, even though she also hated her father.
But when all this happened, she stood by her father's side without hesitation.
Li Ziqing looked at Zhou Yuanyuan with pity, "Aunt, what's real can't be fake, and what's fake can't be real. Justice resides in people's hearts..."
Seeing that Li Ziqing wouldn't listen to reason, Zhou Yuanyuan turned to Chen Xiao and scolded, "Chen Xiao, are you just going to watch her make a scene? Is she crazy, and are you crazy too? Are you just going to watch your woman run wild?"
"Run wild? I don't think so..."
Chen Xiao shook his head and said firmly, "Li Ziqing is my woman. No matter what she does, I will stand by her side. Even if she pokes a hole in the sky, I will hold it up for her!"
"Hold it up? Can you hold it up? Did you not listen to anything I said?"
Zhou Yuanyuan looked resentful and finally sighed helplessly, "Fine, do whatever you want. I don't care anymore!"
In her opinion, Li Ziqing had pushed the old man into a corner.
And it was foreseeable that what would follow would be a bloody storm.
Li Ziqing looked at Zhou Yuanyuan and said indifferently, "Aunt, you have ultimately disappointed me. It seems that there is no one in this Zhou family worth my lingering for!"
"Zhou Zhishan, now, I'm going to present the third birthday gift. Open your dog eyes wide and see what this is!"
As she spoke, Li Ziqing took out something from her bag, held it in her hand, and raised it high.
It was a lock of hair.
Zhou Zhishan looked at the lock of hair, his expression uncertain.
He pointed at Li Ziqing and shouted, "Good, you little harbinger of death! It seems you planned all this long ago, didn't you?"
"Of course, I planned it long ago!"
Li Ziqing's voice was cold and devoid of any warmth, and her eyes flickered with the flames of anger. "From the moment you killed my parents, my revenge plan had already begun!"
