Chapter 572 Zhou Family
Leng Ning also returned the three people's glances.
"I have long heard of the name of Hall Master Leng. Today I meet him, but I didn't expect that he is just a little kid." The old man of the Zhou family smiled and spoke to Leng Ning. He had a smile on his face, and did not mean to belittle Leng Ning. He even showed some care and concern from an elder to a younger generation.
"Grandpa Zhou, please forgive me for making you laugh." Leng Ning smiled and bowed to the old man of the Zhou family.
The Zhou family was deeply moved by Leng Ning's way of addressing the old man of the Zhou family and her respectful attitude.
Not only did she not act like a hall master, she also treated herself as a junior.
It seems that their Zhou Tao is indeed highly regarded in the fifth branch of Thunder Base.
Thinking of this, the Zhou family members felt a little relieved.
"You are a very generous girl." A hint of admiration flashed in the eyes of the old man of the Zhou family.
For a moment, everyone looked at the old man, and then looked at Leng Ning worriedly.
Girl? I am the leader of the Thunder Base, it is too much for the old man to call me that.
"Haha, thank you Grandpa Zhou for the compliment." Unexpectedly, Leng Ning was not angry at all. Instead, he continued to respond with a smile.
Seeing this, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief again.
"Zhou Tao has been a naughty boy since he was young. I hope he didn't cause any trouble for you?" Old Master Zhou said to Leng Ning with a smile.
"Grandpa, how can you talk about your grandson like that!" Before Leng Ning could answer, Zhou Tao expressed his protest to the old man of the Zhou family.
In an instant, the atmosphere, which had become somewhat stagnant, became lively.
"I'm doing very well in the fifth branch!" Zhou Tao said boastfully.
“Hahahaha—just brag!” Old Master Zhou was so happy that his face was all smiles, but he spoke sarcastically.
"I'm not bragging this time. If you don't believe me, ask our hall master!" Zhou Tao said arrogantly.
Everyone immediately looked at Leng Ning.
Seeing Zhou Tao also looking at him, Leng Ning hurriedly said: "It is true. Zhou Tao is now the leader of the second branch under me, and he leads the most elite soldiers of the fifth branch."
"His performance in today's battle was also remarkable." Leng Ning was very cooperative and praised Zhou Tao generously.
Hearing Leng Ning's words, Zhou Tao's tail almost wagged and his head was raised high.
Before the end of the world, his cousin was a company executive with outstanding achievements. His cousin was a student like him, but he was a top student with grades far better than his. He was the least capable one in the family.
Despite this, he was still the most favored one in the family, especially his grandfather, who was a little partial to him.
At first, they also thought about asking him to study hard and giving him some rewards.
Unfortunately, after several attempts at intervention failed and he made it clear to them that he did not want to pursue studies, they stopped being harsh on him because they were afraid that he would get angry and not even go to school.
At that time, he could really do it.
He was not cut out for studying. Asking him to calculate geometry, solve functions, memorize physics and chemistry formulas, or even memorize history and politics would simply kill him.
It was his cousin who stepped in at that time and completely resolved the conflict.
My cousin said that as long as he didn't become a playboy and a spendthrift, he could support him for the rest of his life.
This made the elders of the Zhou family feel relieved, but at the same time it hurt his self-esteem.
Does it mean that if you don’t study well, you will be a waste?
He seemed like a sleeping dragon just waking up, determined to achieve something sooner or later to impress his family.
It was also for this reason that he firmly followed Leng Ning after the end of the world, and then achieved what he has today.
From today on, he will be responsible for the future of the Zhou family.
"Thank you, Master Leng." Zhou Tao's father suddenly walked forward and looked at Leng Ning with deep gratitude in his eyes.
Which parent doesn't hope their children will become successful?
The Zhou family is a family of brothers who are friendly and respectful to each other, and the brothers live in harmony. This kind of family affection also continues among the next generation, which is extremely rare.
At the beginning, his eldest nephew stepped forward and said that he would take care of Zhou Tao for the rest of his life. On the one hand, he was worried that they would push Zhou Tao too hard and lead the child astray. On the other hand, he really had the worst plan.
Anyway, the Zhou family has a considerable fortune, so it is not difficult to support an idle person.
But while they were moved, they couldn't help but worry about Zhou Tao. They looked forward to when he would wake up and become as successful as his elder brother.
Now that their son is doing so well, it is a great honor for their Zhou family.
"Haha, what are you talking about, uncle? I should be the one thanking you for raising such an outstanding son." Leng Ning had already noticed Zhou Tao's eyes and kept praising Zhou Tao to the Zhou family.
These words made Zhou Tao so happy that he almost burst into tears.
"Hey, Hall Master, please stop praising me. I feel embarrassed!" Zhou Tao winked at Leng Ning and said, "Come on, I haven't finished introducing my family to you yet."
Leng Ning understood and walked towards Zhou Tao.
"This is my mother, my aunt, and my sister-in-law!" Zhou Tao introduced the women in the family to Leng Ning.
"Master Leng, I heard that you are going to marry Young Master Lei, is that true?" Zhou Tao's sister-in-law came forward and held Leng Ning's hand.
Leng Ning's face flashed with embarrassment, "Uh - yes."
For a moment, a look of loss flashed in the eyes of the three women at the scene.
"What a pity." Zhou Tao's sister-in-law said, and then glared at Zhou Tao.
This boy, he didn’t take action earlier on such a nice girl!
Zhou Tao smiled and spread his hands.
Even if he had acted earlier, it would have been useless. The relationship between the Hall Master and Lei Shao had lasted for so many years, who could have interfered? ! Besides, although he thought he was very good, he still felt that he was inferior to Lei Shao.
Leng Ning looked embarrassed.
"Hehe - don't think about those nonsense things! Our hall master and Young Master Lei are a match made in heaven. If you want me to get married, please hurry up and find a blind date for me. I will definitely cooperate!" Zhou Tao said happily.
In this last days, there are more men than women. It would be nice to find a wife as soon as possible.
"You are so beautiful!" Zhou Tao's mother glared at her son unhappily, but her face was full of smiles.
Haha, now my son doesn't go to school anymore and has become quite successful. It would be great if she could find a wife and give birth to a grandson sooner. The Zhou family doesn't have any grandchildren yet.
"I'll start paying attention tomorrow!" Zhou Tao's aunt said with a smile.
She knew a lot of ladies, and a good young man like Zhou Tao from their family would definitely be able to find a beautiful wife.
All of a sudden the three women became enthusiastic, as if Zhou Tao was really about to fall in love and get married.
"Well - that's enough! Our hall master is still here, let's talk about these things later!" Zhou Tao finally felt a little shy and said in a loud voice.
"It doesn't matter. Once we get to the Thunder Base, we can slowly look for her. We have a lot of girls in the Thunder Base!" Leng Ning said with a smile.
Zhou Tao: ——
When the three women heard this, they immediately looked at Leng Ning excitedly.
