Chapter 1 The Uproar

On the other side, after being kicked out of the Western-style house, Zhou Tai drove north all the way to a luxurious villa in the northern part of Weicheng.

As soon as he entered the door, he began to wail in a shrill voice!

"Dad, something big has happened! You have to stand up for me..."

Sitting on the sofa in the living room was a burly but unremarkable middle-aged man. He frowned as soon as he heard Zhou Tai's cries.

"What are you shouting for? I'm not dead yet. Are you mourning me?"

This middle-aged man was none other than Zhou Tai's father, Zhou Xingguo, who was also Li Ziqing's maternal uncle by blood.

Of course, whether Li Ziqing acknowledged it was another matter.

"Dad, I've been bullied!"

Zhou Tai said with a mournful face, his expression making it seem as if this matter was more serious than his father's death.

"What happened?"

Zhou Xingguo was slightly taken aback. Knowing his son Zhou Tai, he was usually the one bullying others. When had he ever been bullied?

Could it be that he had encountered someone tough?

Then, Zhou Tai told Zhou Xingguo everything that had happened before, in detail.

"Why did you have to provoke that girl for no reason? Our family has plenty of houses. Why did you have to live in her house?"

Zhou Xingguo glared at Zhou Tai, looking disappointed in him.

Zhou Tai muttered aggrievedly, "Xiao Lian just likes that house. What can I do? Besides, that house was originally our Zhou family's. Why can't I live there?"

Zhou Xingguo snorted coldly.

"That damned girl Li Ziqing caused so much trouble for our family before, and now she dares to bring a wild man back to beat you. I think she's tired of living!"

As soon as Zhou Tai heard this, he perked up: "Dad, you have to help me get revenge! I want them all to die!"

The humiliation he had just suffered made Zhou Tai want to kill.

Zhou Xingguo pondered for a moment, then said, "Crying to me is useless. This matter mainly depends on your grandfather's opinion. Li Ziqing is still your grandfather's own granddaughter after all..."

"Hmph, I'm going to find my grandfather now. I don't believe Grandpa won't stand up for me. Grandpa loves me the most!"

Zhou Tai said angrily, and turned to leave.

Zhou Xingguo thought for a while and stopped Zhou Tai, "Wait, I'll go with you!"

...

Zhou Yuanyuan was a good woman, capable in both the living room and the kitchen.

In a short while, she prepared a table full of delicious dishes.

Eight Treasure Tofu, Jarred Meat, Pan-fried Pork Slices, Braised Fish Fillets...

All of them were Li Ziqing's favorites. Before they were even on the table, she was already drooling.

"Xiao Chen, quickly try your aunt's cooking. I don't know what you like to eat, so these are all Ziqing's favorites."

Zhou Yuanyuan wiped her hands on her apron, looking at the two children with satisfaction.

"Aunt, don't worry about us. You should sit down and eat too!"

Li Ziqing mumbled, her mouth almost full.

Her aunt couldn't help but complain, "Eat slower, child. No one is going to steal it from you."

The three people sat together to eat, enjoying the happy family atmosphere.

As they were eating, Zhou Yuanyuan noticed tears in Li Ziqing's eyes and quickly asked, "Ziqing, what's wrong? Have you been wronged outside?"

"No, it's just that I haven't had your cooking in so long..."

Li Ziqing quickly wiped away her tears and smiled.

"You scared your aunt. Is it that hard to eat your aunt's cooking? If you want to, just come back more often. Next time, Aunt will make your favorite braised pork knuckle!"

"Okay!"

After the meal, Zhou Yuanyuan suddenly took out a bank card from her wallet and placed it in front of Li Ziqing.

"Ziqing, take Chen Xiao to buy a set of clothes later. On an occasion like tonight, it would be a joke to dress too casually!"

"I know, Aunt. I was planning to take him anyway, but you don't need to give me the money. I have money here!"

Li Ziqing said.

"Aunt knows you have money, but that money is yours. The money I give is not just money, it's etiquette, it's the rules. You don't understand anything, child!"

Li Ziqing had no parents, so Zhou Yuanyuan automatically placed herself in the position of Li Ziqing's guardian.

"Aunt, you really don't need to be so polite with me..."

Chen Xiao thought to himself, with the help of your niece, I am now a billionaire with 60 billion in assets!

However, before Zhou Yuanyuan could finish speaking, she glared at him and insisted, "Xiao Chen, Ziqing doesn't listen to me, don't you listen either? I've said it's the rules. If you don't take it, you're not giving Aunt face. Then the two of you don't need to see me in the future!"

"Okay, Aunt, then I'll accept it, thank you, Aunt!"

Seeing that his aunt was about to get angry if he didn't accept it, Chen Xiao quickly took it.

After the meal, Li Ziqing took Chen Xiao to a nearby shopping mall to choose clothes to wear to the banquet.

Li Ziqing gave Chen Xiao a major upgrade from the inside out.

The original clothes, shoes, and socks were all thrown away.

Suits, leather shoes, ties, belts, and even a lighter were carefully chosen by Li Ziqing for Chen Xiao.

And Chen Xiao instantly underwent a complete transformation. He was already in good shape, and the magical temperament brought about by his cultivation made him very eye-catching in the crowd.

Wearing the clothes carefully selected by Li Ziqing, his entire temperament was obviously raised to another level.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Chen Xiao almost couldn't recognize himself, and couldn't help but sigh silently: "Clothes make the man, the saddle makes the horse, the ancients did not deceive me!"

Li Ziqing looked at Chen Xiao with an appreciative gaze, nodding repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad, my husband is so handsome, even better than those male models and celebrities!"

"It's good, but isn't it a bit extravagant?"

Chen Xiao looked at the price tags. Even the cheapest lighter cost tens of thousands of yuan. This whole set cost nearly a million yuan, enough for an ordinary person to work hard for a lifetime.

He wasn't just wearing clothes, he was wearing money.

"What's so extravagant about it? It's just that you used to dress too shabbily. Now that you're so rich, your consumption level has to keep up! Otherwise, everyone will just think you're a nouveau riche, a country bumpkin!"

Li Ziqing said lightly.

Chen Xiao smiled slightly: "What's wrong, are you afraid I'll embarrass you?"

Li Ziqing giggled: "Even if my husband wears nothing, he is still the most handsome man in the world, why would I be embarrassed by you!"

"Let's not go that far, at least give me a leaf to cover my sensitive parts!"

Chen Xiao said seriously.

"Where can you find such a big leaf?"

Li Ziqing thought for a while and said lightly, "A banana leaf would be about the right size!"

Chen Xiao: "..."

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed, and night was approaching.

And the eightieth birthday banquet of the Zhou family's old patriarch, Zhou Zhishan, in Weicheng, officially kicked off...
