"Miss, I have a cousin who's much better looking than him. How about I introduce you?"
The shop manager's eyes darted around. She pulled Liu Yan closer and asked with a face full of smiles.
Damn, this prominent family is so domineering!
Not only do they keep a gigolo, but they also give him so much property!
One must know that these three commercial streets are all antique shops belonging to the Liu family, with a total value exceeding one hundred million yuan!
If her cousin were to follow the young lady, their whole family would be set for life!
"Zhao Xiaoqing, what are you talking about? Er Zhu isn't a gigolo I'm keeping. He's a tycoon from a wealthy family!"
Liu Yan was stunned. She didn't understand at first, but then she realized and scowled, reprimanding Zhao Xiaoqing.
She did want to keep Er Zhu, but she didn't have that kind of financial clout!
"A tycoon from a wealthy family? Haha, look at how he's dressed. Does he look like a tycoon from a wealthy family at all?"
"Miss, don't pretend to be innocent in front of me. We know all about your family's secrets!"
As soon as she said this, Zhao Xiaoqing burst into mockery. After laughing, she crossed her arms, acting as if she had seen through it all.
Since entering society, she had worked for companies under various wealthy families and naturally had seen plenty of spoiled brats who bullied men and women.
Especially Liu Jinlu from the Liu family, who used to bring a different woman to the antique shop every single day for a period!
Who knew that people from the Liu family were all lustful, and women were no exception!
Liu Yan trembled with anger. She wanted to explain, but for a moment she didn't know how to. She could only grit her teeth and glare fiercely at Er Zhu.
"Oh my, Patriarch, when did you come to Guangyuan County? Why didn't you come home?"
Just as the situation reached a stalemate, a man's voice came from the doorway. The three of them turned their heads and saw a lewd-looking man running towards Er Zhu with a fawning smile.
He had originally intended to pick out a few antiques to visit the Patriarch in Liuzhen, but he never expected to run into him here!
Er Zhu was also taken aback. He sized up the man several times but didn't recognize him. However, he didn't pull his hand away because such a minor figure couldn't harm him.
"Oh, I am Zheng Tianyu, the nephew of Zheng Chenglin. We met at the Zheng family's banquet, but I didn't have a chance to speak with you."
Seeing the confusion in Er Zhu's eyes, Zheng Tianyu slapped his forehead and quickly introduced himself.
Zheng Tianyu had witnessed both incidents that happened to the Zheng family. They were still vivid in his memory. Since then, he had decided to cling tightly to Er Zhu's powerful influence!
Otherwise, what hope would he, a collateral member of the Zheng family, have of ever succeeding?
"Oh, how is the Zheng family doing?" Er Zhu still didn't remember, but he nodded slightly and asked.
There were so many people in the Zheng family, he only remembered a few people beside Zheng Tianlin. As for the others, he had long forgotten.
"Very well! With a tycoon like the Patriarch as our backer, our Zheng family's business is booming!"
Zheng Tianyu's eyes nearly disappeared as he smiled. Thinking of the Zheng family's development during this period, a sense of inexplicable pride arose within him!
This made him even more resolute in his decision. He had to hold onto this powerful influence tightly!
Hearing their conversation, Zhao Xiaoqing stared with her mouth agape, her eyes filled with shock!
The person she had mistakenly thought to be a gigolo was actually a real tycoon!
Moreover, judging by their words, he wasn't just a tycoon in Guangyuan County!
She had caused a great disaster this time!
"Miss, I'm so sorry. It was my fault for speculating wildly and damaging your reputation."
"Sir, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. Please, for the sake of a mere commoner like me, who has never seen the world, spare me this once!"
Zheng Tianyu was about to say something else when he heard a thud. Zhao Xiaoqing knelt on the ground, begging for mercy with tears streaming down her face.
"Patriarch, what's going on?" Zheng Tianyu was stunned, looking at Zhao Xiaoqing's tear-stained face with confusion.
"This woman thought Er Zhu was a gigolo I was keeping and was mocking him relentlessly!"
Zhao Xiaoqing didn't know how to explain, so Liu Yan answered through gritted teeth.
She was afraid the Liu family would embarrass themselves in front of Er Zhu again, but they still managed to lose face!
What a bunch of idiots!
Liu Yan's teeth gnashed noisily. If it weren't for the fear of damaging the antiques, she would have taught Zhao Xiaoqing a good lesson!
"Haha, who has the financial means to keep the richest man in Guangyuan County? Hahaha..."
Hearing this, Zheng Tianyu couldn't help but burst into laughter. His mockery made Zhao Xiaoqing even more shocked!
The richest man in Guangyuan County!
This tycoon was actually the richest man in Guangyuan County!
The richest man in Guangyuan County was the most powerful person in the county, yet she was merely a commoner!
If this richest man wanted to retaliate against her, it would be as easy as crushing an ant!
"I'm sorry, my lord, I was wrong. I was blind and had a loose tongue. Please don't blame me, okay?"
Zhao Xiaoqing knelt on the ground, slapping herself and kowtowing to Er Zhu. Her shocked eyes were filled with fear!
No one spoke, no matter how long it took. Zhao Xiaoqing's face was swollen, and her head was bruised from kowtowing.
"Get out!"
Seeing that Zhao Xiaoqing was about to collapse, Er Zhu pointed to the door. Zhao Xiaoqing scrambled out, as if staying a second longer would make Er Zhu regret it.
"Patriarch, you are truly magnanimous. Letting someone like her go is letting her off lightly!"
Gazing in the direction Zhao Xiaoqing had left, Zheng Tianyu clasped his hands and said flatteringly.
He had finally met the Patriarch today and definitely wanted to entertain him, especially in the evening!
Zheng Tianyu's eyes darted around. He had already thought of many plans and was preparing to invite all the beautiful women he knew!
"Alright, I have other things to do. You can entertain yourself."
Seeing Zheng Tianyu's eyes light up, Er Zhu guessed what he was thinking. He waved his hand and dismissed him.
He felt that Liu Yan alone was superfluous, let alone someone like Zheng Tianyu who was fawning over him!
"That won't do, Patriarch. You're not familiar with Guangyuan County, so I'll accompany you."
Seeing Er Zhu about to leave, Zheng Tianyu quickly stepped forward to stop him. He wanted to say more, but he saw Er Zhu's piercing gaze.
"You must be busy. I won't disturb you."
Looking at that icy gaze, Zheng Tianyu felt as if the blood in his body had frozen. The words on the tip of his tongue had to be swallowed!
The Patriarch's aura was too powerful. He could drive him away with just a look!
Zheng Tianyu shivered and left the antique shop as quickly as possible. He didn't dare to go back and pick up his dropped phone!
"You go out too. I want to choose something myself." Glancing at Zheng Tianyu, Er Zhu turned back to Liu Yan and instructed.
Liu Yan opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but seeing Er Zhu's cold gaze, she could only retreat.
