On the other side, after being driven out of the villa, Zhou Tai drove north to a luxurious villa located in the northern part of Weicheng.
As soon as he entered, he began to wail with a hoarse voice!
"Dad, something big has happened, you must uphold justice for me..."
A burly but unremarkable middle-aged man sat on the sofa in the living room. As soon as he heard Zhou Tai's shouts, his brow furrowed.
"What are you yelling about? I'm not dead yet, are you mourning for me?"
This middle-aged man was Zhou Tai's father, Zhou Xingguo, and also Li Ziqing's maternal uncle.
Of course, whether Li Ziqing admitted it was another matter.
"Dad, I was bullied!"
Zhou Tai said with a mournful face. Looking at his expression, it was 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 always the one bullying others. When had he ever been bullied?
Could it be that he encountered some tough character?
Then Zhou Tai recounted everything that had happened to Zhou Xingguo.
"Why did you go and provoke that girl? We have plenty of houses, why did you go to her house to live?"
Zhou Xingguo glared at Zhou Tai, full of disappointment.
Zhou Tai mumbled aggrievedly, "Xiaolian likes that house, what can I do? Besides, that house originally belonged to our Zhou family, why can't I live in it?"
Zhou Xingguo snorted coldly.
"That little girl Li Ziqing, she caused so much trouble for our family before, and now she dares to bring a wild man back to beat you. I think she doesn't want to live!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tai's spirits immediately lifted, "Dad, you must avenge me, I want them all to die!"
Thinking of the humiliation he had just suffered, Zhou Tai was so angry he wanted to kill.
Zhou Xingguo pondered for a moment, then said, "Crying to me is useless. This matter mainly depends on your grandfather's wishes. Li Ziqing is, after all, your grandfather's biological granddaughter..."
"Hmph, I'll go find my grandfather now. I don't believe grandfather won't uphold justice for me. Grandfather dotes on me the most!"
Zhou Tai said angrily, then turned to leave.
Zhou Xingguo thought for a moment and called out to Zhou Tai, "Wait, I'll go with you!"
...
Zhou Yuanyuan was a good woman, capable of both attending formal occasions and managing household chores.
In a short while, she had prepared a table of delicious dishes.
Eight Treasures Tofu, Braised Pork in Clay Pot, Pan-fried Pork Fillet, Sautéed Fish Fillet...
These were all Li Ziqing's favorites, and she was already salivating before they were even served.
"Xiao Chen, quickly try Auntie's cooking. I don't know what you like to eat, so these are all Ziqing's favorites."
Zhou Yuanyuan wiped her hands with her apron and looked at the two children with satisfaction.
"Auntie, don't worry about us, you sit down and eat too!"
Li Ziqing mumbled, her mouth already full.
Auntie Jin complained, "Child, eat slowly, no one is snatching it from you."
The three of them sat together, eating harmoniously.
As they ate, Zhou Yuanyuan noticed tears in Li Ziqing's eyes and quickly asked, "Ziqing, what's wrong? Did you suffer some grievance outside?"
"No, I just, I just haven't eaten your cooking for so long..."
Li Ziqing quickly wiped away her tears and put on a smile.
"Child, you scared Auntie. It's not difficult to eat Auntie's cooking. You be more diligent and come back more often. Next time, Auntie will make your favorite braised pork knuckle!"
"Mhm!"
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 some clothes later. In tonight's occasion, dressing too casually will be laughed at!"
"I know, Auntie. I was just about to take him, but forget about the money, I have money here!"
Li Ziqing said.
"Auntie knows you have money, but that money is yours. The money I give is not just money, it's etiquette, it's custom. You don't understand anything!"
Li Ziqing had no parents, so Zhou Yuanyuan automatically placed herself in the position of Li Ziqing's guardian.
"Auntie, you really don't need to be polite with me..."
Chen Xiao thought to himself that with his niece's help, he was now a billionaire with six hundred billion!
However, before he could finish speaking, Zhou Yuanyuan glared at him and insisted, "Xiao Chen, Ziqing doesn't listen to Auntie, do you not listen either? I already said it's custom. If you don't take it, you're not giving Auntie face, then neither of you will see me again!"
"Alright then, Auntie, I'll accept it. Thank you, Auntie!"
Seeing that if he didn't accept it, Auntie would get angry, Chen Xiao quickly accepted it.
After the meal, Li Ziqing took Chen Xiao to a nearby mall to choose clothes for the banquet.
Li Ziqing gave Chen Xiao a major upgrade from head to toe.
All his previous clothes, shoes, and socks were discarded.
Suits, leather shoes, ties, belts, even a small lighter, Li Ziqing meticulously matched them for Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao also underwent a transformation. He already had a good physique, and the unique temperament that cultivation brought him made him very noticeable in a crowd.
With the clothes meticulously chosen by Li Ziqing, his entire demeanor was elevated.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Chen Xiao could barely recognize himself and couldn't help but sigh, "Clothes make the man, as the ancients said!"
Li Ziqing appraised Chen Xiao with an admiring gaze, nodding continuously, "Not bad, not bad, my husband is so handsome, even more so than those male models and celebrities!"
"It's good, but isn't it a bit extravagant?"
Chen Xiao had seen the price tags. Even the cheapest lighter cost tens of thousands of yuan. The entire set would cost nearly a million, enough for an ordinary person to work a lifetime.
These weren't just clothes, they were money worn on his body.
"What's so extravagant about it? You used to dress too shabbily. Now that you're so rich, your consumption level should keep up! Otherwise, people will just think you're a nouveau riche, a country bumpkin!"
Li Ziqing said lightly.
Chen Xiao smiled faintly, "What, afraid I'll embarrass you?"
Li Ziqing giggled, "My husband is the most handsome man in the world even if he wears nothing, so how could I be embarrassed by you!"
"But don't wear nothing. At least give me a leaf to cover my sensitive parts!"
Chen Xiao said seriously.
"Where would you find such a big leaf?"
Li Ziqing thought for a moment and said lightly, "A banana leaf might be about right!"
Chen Xiao: "..."
In the blink of an eye, half a day passed, and night approached.
The grand birthday banquet for the patriarch of the Zhou family in Weicheng, Zhou Zhishan, officially began...
