Zhu Ling'er's heart fluttered with joy.
Without looking back, she retorted, "Didn't you leave? Why are you back?"
However.
As soon as Zhu Ling'er finished speaking.
A woman's laughter echoed from the doorway.
"Miss, aren't you perhaps missing Doctor Zhou too much?"
Zhu Ling'er turned around and realized.
The person who arrived was not Zhou Yu, but a female enforcer of the Zhu family.
This female enforcer's strength was not great, so she usually handled minor chores.
Just like escorting the clan elder back earlier.
It was likely this female enforcer who did it.
At this moment, the Zhu family head had already fallen asleep, and she had come to report to Zhu Ling'er!
"I..." Zhu Ling'er blushed deeply, feeling a bit embarrassed.
The female enforcer was also quite old and had experienced much in life.
Therefore, she didn't mind Zhu Ling'er's girlish demeanor.
She smiled kindly at Zhu Ling'er.
Then she reported, "Miss, the clan elders have all been safely escorted home."
"The dining hall has also been cleaned up."
"I noticed you didn't eat much during the banquet. Would you like me to ask the kitchen to prepare some egg chiffon and send it over?"
Zhu Ling'er's attention was immediately diverted.
She nodded and said, "No need for egg chiffon, just send a bowl of soup."
"Also prepare some honey water for my father to drink."
The female enforcer nodded with a smile and then left.
Zhu Ling'er continued to sulk at the vanity table!
She just didn't understand.
She wasn't some piece of trash.
In the entire Jiangnan City, how many young masters wished to marry her?
Why was she treated like a monster to be avoided by Zhou Yu?
Zhu Ling'er sensed.
Zhou Yu wasn't entirely indifferent to her.
During the days spent at Yunlan Tiangong.
Zhou Yu's actions were undeniable!
But why did Zhou Yu always avoid her?
Zhu Ling'er was eager to ask for an explanation.
But she couldn't find him now.
She went to the Zhu family head's room and saw that he had already drunk the honey water.
Zhu Ling'er decided that she had to make another trip to Yunhai City soon...
Meanwhile, Zhou Yu, as if fleeing, boarded the green-skinned train.
He found his seat and sat down.
Only after the train gradually moved away did Zhou Yu finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The psychological shadow cast by the Zhu family head was too great!
Zhou Yu genuinely feared that the drunk patriarch would come to stop him.
Fortunately.
The Zhu family head was quite heavily intoxicated this time, and would likely not wake up anytime soon.
Zhou Yu leaned his head against the chair and closed his eyes, feigning sleep.
The train rumbled and swayed forward, causing Zhou Yu's head to bob with the motion.
Just as Zhou Yu was about to drift off.
"Hey, kid, are you blind? Didn't you see a pregnant woman standing next to you!"
Hearing the voice.
Zhou Yu opened his eyes.
He saw a burly man, supporting a heavily pregnant woman, standing beside his seat.
Zhou Yu frowned.
But he did not get up, only shifted inward slightly.
Even though it was a green-skinned train, all seats were assigned.
All Zhou Yu could do was to move a little further into the seat, making some space for the pregnant woman to rest for a moment.
However.
It was impossible for him to give up his seat entirely!
The burly man saw that Zhou Yu was ignoring his words.
To make matters worse, he only shifted his buttocks slightly.
He immediately became furious and said, "I see you're not only blind but also deaf!"
"Such a large person is standing in front of you, and you only move in a tiny bit?"
"How is anyone supposed to sit!"
Zhou Yu was annoyed by the burly man's incessant chatter.
He shot a cold gaze over and impatiently said, "If you have the ability, have her sit on my lap."
"It's already generous of me to make some space, and you're still chattering and annoying me?"
The burly man clearly did not expect Zhou Yu to say something like that.
His eyes widened like copper bells.
He let go of the pregnant woman, strode forward, and grabbed Zhou Yu's collar.
"How dare you speak to me like that?"
"Believe it or not, I'll beat you!"
Even with his collar grabbed, Zhou Yu remained calm and unperturbed.
He calmly glanced at the man.
He filled the space he had just made.
Then he closed his eyes and continued to feign sleep.
After all, it wasn't him who was standing.
Since they refused his good intentions, he would simply withdraw them.
Seeing Zhou Yu's righteous indignation, the burly man's face turned red with anger.
Enraged, he glared at Zhou Yu and roared, "Hey! I'm telling you to give up your seat, haven't you learned courtesy and shame?"
The man's voice was loud.
Soon, the attention of the entire carriage was drawn to them.
Quite a few people were pointing fingers at them.
A small minority were condemning Zhou Yu.
"Look at that person, so young, and so shameless, actually letting a pregnant woman stand."
"Exactly, I could never do something like that."
"Truly ill-bred, probably doesn't have parents!"
But the majority of people did not think Zhou Yu was wrong.
Hearing the surrounding discussions, some people spoke up for Zhou Yu.
"Didn't that person already give up half a seat? It was the pregnant woman herself who didn't want to sit!"
"Yes, if you're so kind, then offer your seat to the pregnant woman, and no one would say anything!"
"Stop being so hypocritical, if you're so well-bred, why don't you give up your seat?"
The two groups of people were strangers to each other.
But because of this small incident, they argued heatedly!
Zhou Yu, hearing the noisy voices around him, couldn't help but frown. His brow furrowed as if an ominous horseshoe imprint lay there.
"Fine, you're not afraid of consequences, are you?"
"Today, I will educate you in place of your parents!"
Hearing people support him, the burly man became even more arrogant.
He rolled up his sleeves and swung a slap at Zhou Yu!
However.
His palm was still in mid-air when Zhou Yu grabbed it.
Zhou Yu's gaze swept over him slightly, and he said calmly, "Noisy."
As the words fell.
The burly man was actually thrown flying by Zhou Yu!
With a bang.
The burly man's body slammed heavily against the carriage wall.
He was completely dazed.
When the pregnant woman saw her husband being hit.
She was immediately unhappy.
She yelled, "What's wrong with you? If you don't want to give up your seat, don't give it up, but why are you hitting people!"
"Where is the attendant! Hurry and kick this person off the train! He's a thug!"
As the pregnant woman spoke, she stared at Zhou Yu with intense hostility.
Her expression.
As if Zhou Yu's refusal to give up his seat to her was an unforgivable sin!
Zhou Yu was instantly amused to the point of anger.
And because Zhou Yu hadn't used much force.
Although the burly man was thrown, he only sustained minor external injuries.
He slowly got up from the ground.
Pointing at Zhou Yu, he roared, "You still dare to hit me? Today, I..."
Before he could finish speaking.
The attendant, having heard the commotion, arrived.
The attendant was a young girl who looked like she had just graduated.
