The Xie family was, after all, one of the three major families in Jiangnan City.
Not just any cat or dog could try to latch onto them.
The two rich young men understood this, so they quickly changed the subject.
"I also heard that Old Master Xie's critical condition this time was orchestrated by the Xie family's Second Master. Because of this, Second Master Xie has been kicked out of the family!"
"Tsk tsk, you reap what you sow. Wouldn't it be better to just live a life of wealthy leisure!"
"Exactly. If I were Second Master Xie, I would definitely live a more carefree life than him!"
The two lamented as they put their arms around the girls they had just picked up and walked towards their sports cars.
As they rounded a corner.
They saw a dirty person leaning against a wall, gasping for breath.
Their body was covered in mud and bloodstains, emitting a foul odor.
The two rich young men pinched their noses and threw a hundred yuan at the person's feet.
Then, they impatiently said, "Don't be disgusting here, get lost!"
After saying that, they pulled the girls into their sports cars and sped away.
After both sports cars had driven far away.
Second Master Xie stirred.
After a moment's hesitation, he picked up the hundred yuan from the ground.
He recognized the sports cars the two rich young men had driven.
They were merely entry-level models.
In the past, Second Master Xie owned dozens of top-of-the-line sports cars of the same brand.
But now...
Second Master Xie clenched the hundred yuan in his hand, his face turning as purple as an eggplant, and he panted furiously...
It was all Zhou Yu's fault!
If Zhou Yu hadn't figured out Old Master Xie's illness.
How would he have been discovered?
As long as Zhou Yu didn't exist, even without inviting Shi Zhenxiang, he could have just stalled and let Old Master Xie die!
Second Master Xie dared not resent Old Master Xie, nor did he dare to resent the Xie family head.
After all, his status compared to theirs was now vastly different!
The only one he resented was Zhou Yu!
It was all this brat's fault for ruining his plans!
Just as Second Master Xie was about to be consumed by his own rage.
A hoarse female voice sounded.
"Do you hate him?"
Second Master Xie turned his head and saw a middle-aged woman.
She was wearing high-end Chanel from head to toe, looking very elegant.
However, her head was wrapped in an expensive silk scarf, obscuring her face.
Second Master Xie's lips twitched, and he let out a guttural sound.
"Hate!"
The woman seemed very pleased and nodded slightly, "Perhaps I can help you."
Second Master Xie, having experienced the Shi family incident before, had become cautious.
He immediately retorted, "Who are you? Do you know who I am? What do you want from me?"
Teaching someone a hundred times and they still don't learn.
But an experience will teach you in one go!
Before, Second Master Xie didn't know how to use his brain, but now he did.
The woman chuckled, with a hint of disdain, "Do you think you have anything left to give me?"
"Come with me, I'll help you get revenge."
That was right.
Second Master Xie was covered in injuries now.
If nothing changed, and he continued to wander, he wouldn't survive for a month.
He had been kicked out by the Xie family, penniless.
Even if the woman wanted something, he had nothing left to give!
Thinking this, Second Master Xie gritted his teeth, "Alright."
The woman didn't immediately take Second Master Xie to do anything, but first took him to a bathhouse to wash.
After cleaning off the dirt from his body.
She then took Second Master Xie into the car.
"Who are you?" Second Master Xie asked curiously.
He didn't understand what value he still held.
That would make this woman invest in him.
Could it be some romantic debt from the past?
Thinking of this, Second Master Xie's mind began to work a little more actively.
Perhaps...
Before Second Master Xie could figure out anything.
The woman directly lifted the scarf, revealing a tired but still well-maintained face.
This was Zhang Shaohua's wife, the youngest daughter of the Shi family, Shi Lifeng!
Shi Lifeng had accidentally seen the scene of Second Master Xie being thrown out by the Xie family.
Out of curiosity, she took a second glance.
Who knew she would hear Second Master Xie muttering and cursing Zhou Yu.
The name Zhou Yu immediately struck a chord in Shi Lifeng's heart!
Of course.
Shi Lifeng's husband and son were arrested.
All of it was Zhou Yu's doing!
She never expected that Zhou Yu would actually come to Jiangnan City.
Seeing the hatred on Second Master Xie's face, Shi Lifeng instinctively felt that this was someone she could use.
So she followed him.
Only when she saw Second Master Xie about to break down did she reveal herself.
Second Master Xie had never seen Mrs. Zhang's face before, so he was stunned and quickly racked his brain, trying to recall women he had had fleeting encounters with.
To his sorrow, Second Master Xie discovered.
He had never met this woman before!
So, why was this woman helping him?
"Allow me to introduce myself, I am from the Zhang family in Yunhai City. My husband is Zhang Deshuang," Shi Lifeng said with a nod, a hint of pride in her expression.
After all, the Zhang family was a first-rate family.
Even though they had declined now, mentioning it still carried a bit of weight.
Especially in front of Second Master Xie!
Upon hearing the name Zhang Deshuang, Second Master Xie suddenly understood!
Although Second Master Xie had been uneducated and didn't participate in any of the Xie family's affairs before, he still had some knowledge of the various first-rate families.
Who would have thought.
Mrs. Zhang would appear here?
Thinking this, Second Master Xie's eyes darted around, "Then why are you helping me?"
"My husband and son were both harmed by Zhou Yu."
"I came to Jiangnan City this time to settle the score with Zhou Yu!"
"We have a common enemy."
Shi Lifeng spoke vaguely, avoiding the crucial details.
In reality, Shi Lifeng felt that someone like Second Master Xie, who had lost everything, would be willing to take risks.
Then she could have Second Master Xie carry out the dirty work, perfectly concealing herself!
The Shi family had been dragging their feet on giving a clear stance.
Shi Lifeng could no longer wait!
After understanding, Second Master Xie immediately nodded.
A cold sneer echoed in his heart.
Heaven indeed helps me!
This Zhou Yu is truly detestable.
He has enemies everywhere!
And now this is a great opportunity falling into my lap!
"Tomorrow, the Xie family will be holding a banquet. I will attend, and then you..."
Shi Lifeng's voice grew softer as she spoke, and Second Master Xie's eyes lit up as he listened...
Meanwhile, the Xie family.
They had no idea that Second Master Xie had another ordeal after being kicked out.
Everyone was preparing for the banquet.
Early in the morning.
Xie Yu began to review the gift list and the menu.
Xie Shishi, on the other hand, was overseeing the servants decorating the banquet venue.
Although the banquet had another purpose.
To these two grandchildren, this was the first banquet after Old Master Xie's recovery.
They were determined to make it perfect, so as not to spoil the mood!
Zhou Yu was woken up early by the clanging and banging.
He walked out of the room and stretched.
"Dr. Zhou, good morning." Xie Shishi greeted him with a smile.
