Driven out of her home by her biased parents and cruel older sister, Su Tao decided to cut ties with them completely, vowing to rather starve, freeze, and wander outside for a lifetime than ever re...
Su Tao laughed angrily, turned around and asked Shi Zijin: "Can I?"
Can I offend them?
Shi Zijin understood!
This question is actually asking, if she beats someone up today, can he cover for her.
After all, this is in Xindu, not her own territory in Dongyang Taoyang.
Shi Zijin was stunned.
How can she be so cowardly and tough at the same time?
He suppressed his laughter and nodded, handed her his gun, and said lightly:
"I have some friendship with Captain Ling of Xindu, so killing a few insignificant people won't affect anything."
Fang Yan sneered, clearly unconvinced: "Who are you trying to fool? I even said I was Chairman Zhuo's mother-in-law."
Deng Zixuan certainly didn't believe it either. Her focus was on how cool the man looked when he handed her the gun.
When Deng Zilu heard this, he was shocked and his face turned slightly pale.
Others may not know it, but as the woman who has been with Zhuo Ercheng for the longest time and has been taken by him to various public places as his companion, Deng Zilu is very smart and cautious!
She not only understood Zhuo Ercheng, but also took the initiative to understand everyone around him.
As Zhuo Ercheng's immediate superior, Ling Tianji is one of her compulsory courses!
Even though Ling Tianji is now the top leader of Xindu, he was just a captain of a mercenary team many years ago.
Few people know about his history. Those who know it and dare to call him Captain Ling must be people who are familiar with him.
This man might really know Ling Tianji.
Deng Zilu is not only smart, but also flexible. Before Su Tao could react, he immediately gave in and said:
"I'm so sorry, both of you. My father just passed away, and my younger sister and mother are emotionally and mentally unstable. They've said a lot of rude things, so I apologize to you both on their behalf."
She was very humble and even had the illusion of being upright.
Su Tao was amazed. This woman changed her expression so quickly. At first, she arrogantly asked the driver if he knew who she was, and she could smash as many cars in the parking lot as she wanted.
It hasn't been that long since he turned into the man who knows when to advance and when to retreat, and who apologizes sincerely.
Su Tao reflected for three seconds and felt that she could learn from the person in front of her how to be thick-skinned.
Fang Yan was about to lose her temper, but Deng Zilu held her down harshly, and even dragged her and Deng Zixuan to apologize.
Deng Zixuan didn't dare to offend her sister. Her sister was their only support now. Even though she was reluctant, she still gritted her teeth and apologized to Su Tao and the mechanic.
Fang Yan apologized through gritted teeth.
Su Tao reluctantly accepted it and said to Deng Zilu:
"I need to clarify something. Your mother's attempt to stop our car nearly caused us to roll over and crash. If the driver hadn't reacted quickly, how would your mother have paid for the lives of over a dozen of us?"
"That's fine, but when she asked us to rescue Mr. Deng, could she have been more polite? She was bossing us around and being sarcastic. Is that how you approach asking for help? We're just strangers, who wants to rescue an ancestor? Miss Deng, you're a smart person, so I don't need to tell you anything more."
Deng Zilu understood what she was saying, and realized that this was a warning for her to take good care of her mother and sister, and not let this kind of thing happen again!
She was angry that her mother had concealed the truth, but at the same time she felt that Su Tao's words were unpleasant and made her feel embarrassed.
Su Tao didn't want to see her leave the stage, so without waiting for her to speak, she took out a few bottles of mineral water from her bag and generously handed them to the masters, saying:
"Everyone, you've worked hard. Have some water. You're welcome. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I'll come back to inspect the car when the time comes."
Even in Xindu, although there is not a serious water shortage, a bottle of water is not cheap.
The old master was a little flattered.
Deng Zixuan looked at them with envy, remembering that Tang Le had accepted a bag of supplies from them, which seemed to include water and food.
What kind of place is Taoyang? It has no name or surname, so why does it look so rich?
Deng Zilu also fell silent and left with his mother and sister.
"Mom, tell me the truth, who are they?"
Fang Yan was confused. "What kind of background could he have? Didn't that guy named Wei Xiang say that he just runs a hotel in the mountains?"
After this incident, Deng Zilu no longer believed a single word. She snorted coldly:
"Wei Xiang is a man of deep thoughts. Find an opportunity to get rid of him. Don't have too much contact with him. As for Tao Yang, I will go and find out about it myself. If you see those two people next time, avoid them!"
Deng Zixuan muttered: "Brother-in-law is such a high-ranking official."
Deng Zilu glared at her: "He's the one with power, not me! If he doesn't favor me anymore, our family will be nothing but trash in his eyes. You'd better behave yourself and stop causing me trouble!"
If that man is really Ling Tianji's old friend, Zhuo Ercheng has to give him some ground.
She was just one of Zhuo Ercheng's many women. Why would he offend his boss's old friend for her?
Fang Yan suddenly felt a little flustered and grabbed her eldest daughter's hand and said:
"Lulu, when are you and Ercheng going to get married? Mom is worried."
Deng Zilu's eyes were a little dim, but there was a hint of ambition in them: "At the latest this year."
Jiang Jinwei, who also wanted to marry Zhuo Ercheng, was still depressed at this time because of seeing Su Tao.
When she was in a bad mood, she wanted to call Zhuo Ercheng.
Since when, this man seemed to have become a rib in her body. Only with him could she support her entire decent life and ensure that she had no worries about food and clothing.
Without him, she was just a puddle of mud, struggling to survive in the mire of the apocalypse.
She never wanted to return to the crowded Su family home! She didn't want to worry about food and clothing! She also didn't want to hear Tangdou's maddening mother's voice!
The life now belongs to her.
When Zhuo Ercheng saw that it was her call, a helpless look appeared on his face:
"What's wrong, dear? Are you short of money or want something to eat? You can ask Secretary Song to take care of it."
It means don't bother him!
The alliance summit is approaching, and he is very busy all day long.
Unfortunately, Jiang Jinwei didn't hear his voice-over at all, and said coquettishly:
"I don't want anything. I just miss you and want to talk to you. I've been back in Xindu for several days, why haven't you thought of coming to see me?"
Zhuo Ercheng frowned: "I really don't have time recently."
He suddenly felt that Deng Zilu, who was silent and did not argue or make a fuss, was more sensible.
I've been with him for so long, and I never disturb him when he's busy or talk nonsense.
Jiang Jinwei sensed his displeasure obtusely and felt even more aggrieved: "You're busy and you don't even come to see me? I've been waiting for you anxiously, are you willing to let me go?"
Zhuo Ercheng's last bit of patience ran out: "I have a meeting now. I'll come see you when I have time."
Then he hung up the phone.
Ling Tianji rarely saw him having a headache, so he jokingly asked, "What's wrong? Did the beauty upset you?"
Zhuo Ercheng rubbed his brows and said, "It was indeed quite fresh at the beginning, but now I can't enjoy it anymore."
Ling Tianji raised his eyebrows, which seemed to indicate that he wanted to break up with the beauty.
He didn't ask any more questions and turned to talking about entering the city:
"Minister Xu has been here for a day or two. Let's find time to hold a welcoming banquet for him. He should be treated like a ancestor. Whether Xindu can be promoted to a higher level this year depends on him."
Zhuo Ercheng nodded.
"By the way, have the people from Taoyang entered the city? They are also the focus of attention. Find a time to make an appointment with their boss, and be polite."
