Volume 1 Chapter 24: Taking Advantage of Old Age
Shen Mo looked at Zhu Sheng anxiously. She had learned some things about what happened before they came here and knew that this family had bad intentions.
"Sister Zhu, do you really have to go?"
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"I'll wait for you downstairs."
Zhu Sheng comforted Shen Mo and followed the waiter upstairs.
When they arrived at the tea room, the waiter asked Zhu Sheng to wait in the outer hall and told her that she could only enter the inner hall after Zhu's father gave the order.
She took the initiative to call people over, but was turned away. Zhu's father took this opportunity to teach her a lesson.
The outer hall and the inner hall were separated by a curtain. Zhu Sheng stood outside the curtain and vaguely saw two old men inside, brewing tea around a stove.
Opposite her was her father Zhu Qi.
He deliberately changed into an old-fashioned and dignified Zhongshan suit, and his every move and gesture revealed his calm and leisurely demeanor as an old-timer.
However, Zhu Sheng knew that this was just a facade for outsiders to see.
The Zhu family has become a well-known figure in Huacheng in the past two years.
At this moment, he was diligently serving tea and water to the old man opposite him, with an extremely flattering attitude.
Although he saw Zhu Sheng outside the curtain, Zhu's father pretended not to see it and continued to greet the guests opposite him warmly.
"Mr. Yin, your presence at my humble abode has truly brought glory to this humble place. I would like to offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."
"Mr. Zhu, you are too polite. Everyone in Huacheng knows that your Zhu family has been very prosperous in the past two years.
Although our Yin family is wealthy and powerful, in the final analysis, we are still under the protection of our ancestors. How can we compare with your courage in expanding our territory?"
"What are you talking about? I have long admired you, Master Yin.
It's just that our business is just a small one, and we never caught your eye before. Now that we have finally become a bit famous, we dare to show our ugliness in front of you."
With the intention of getting intelligence, Zhu Sheng was forced to listen outside for a long time.
But all I hear is these two old men bragging about their boring business dealings.
Finally, Zhu Sheng's patience ran out. She couldn't help coughing loudly, pulled up the curtain, and walked straight into the inner hall.
Father Zhu's face darkened and he was about to scold him, but he saw a look of surprise on Master Yin's face.
Contrary to his previous arrogant tone, he stood up and asked Zhu's father excitedly.
"Mr. Zhu, who is this?"
At this time, Zhu's father took another look at Zhu Sheng, who was dressed up carefully, and felt ecstatic.
Before, he was angry that Zhu Sheng refused to dress up properly. What if Mr. Yin didn't like her?
He is a veteran in Huacheng's business community. He has been rooted there for many years and has a large number of resources and connections. If he leaks a few resources, it would be enough for an ordinary company to live on for a lifetime.
In order to make friends with him, Zhu's father went to great lengths and initially gave him a pile of gold, silver, and jewelry, but all of them were returned.
Later, after spending a lot of money to bribe the people around him, I found out that this old lady loved collecting beauties.
No matter whether it is a young lady or a charming young woman, as long as she touches his heart, he will have the opportunity to talk about some business.
In the past few months, Zhu's father secretly sent a lot of young and beautiful internet celebrities, and finally he got in touch with them.
However, these people are usually sent away after just one night of sleep, and the only cooperation they can negotiate is naturally small and insignificant deals.
After much thought, Zhu's father decided that in order to pry open this huge treasury, he would have to spend a lot of money and find a legitimate reason to consolidate the relationship between the two families.
So he once again turned his attention to his second daughter who was about to get divorced.
The marriage with the Gu family is undoubtedly the most successful business deal of the Zhu family in the past two years.
He calculated greedily that if there was a chance to marry into the Yin family, then the Zhu family's status in Huacheng would definitely be raised to a higher level.
The main purpose of this meeting is to test Mr. Yin's attitude.
Unexpectedly, when Mr. Yin saw Zhu Sheng, his eyes widened.
I wish my father would be very happy, there is hope now!
He was just angry at Zhu Sheng for causing such a scene at the birthday banquet, but now not only did his anger disappear, he also immediately put on a fatherly face.
Father Zhu warmly invited Zhu Sheng to sit down and introduced him to Mr. Yin in a friendly manner.
"This is my second daughter, Zhu Sheng. She is usually not at home, but she came back to see me today for the birthday party."
Zhu's father's Sichuan Opera face-changing performance naturally aroused Zhu Sheng's contempt.
She sat down without any hesitation, not wanting to respond to Zhu's father's clumsy approach.
Only then did Zhu Sheng see Master Yin's appearance clearly, and he couldn't help but feel disgusted.
This is a short, haggard old man with protruding and cloudy eyes, and a hideous smile that occasionally appears on his lips, which makes people shudder.
His body exuded a pungent smell of medicine, and he seemed to be about to be sucked dry.
Every time he looked at Zhu Sheng, he licked his dry lips unconsciously, as if he wanted to eat her alive in the next second.
"Mr. Zhu is so lucky to have such a beautiful and filial daughter."
Seeing Mr. Yin drooling with anticipation, Zhu's father deliberately added fuel to the fire and sighed in annoyance.
"No, this unfilial daughter always causes me a lot of worry. If she wasn't about to get divorced and have no one to rely on, she wouldn't bother to go back to her parents' home."
Hearing this, Mr. Yin was even more overjoyed. The more he looked at Zhu Sheng, the more itchy he felt, so he couldn't help but speak.
"Mr. Zhu, it's strange to say, but as soon as I saw your second daughter, I felt like we got along well. If she has any difficulties, I will definitely help her to the end."
Looking at Mr. Yin's hungry look, Zhu's father immediately understood.
He deliberately poured a cup of tea and added some drugs into it.
Seeing Zhu Sheng drink it and gradually unable to open his eyes, I felt relieved.
"Master Yin, I have something else to do down there. I don't think my daughter will wake up for a while, so I'd like to trouble you to take care of her."
Mr. Yin understood and replied with a smile.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Zhu, go ahead and do your work. I will not let you down for your good intentions."
As soon as Mr. Zhu left, Mr. Yin immediately revealed his true colors.
He approached Zhu Sheng obscenely, muttering: "Little beauty, you are so pretty."
Looking at the girl's fair face, Master Yin couldn't help but want to get his hands on it and savor it.
Seeing Master Yin's face getting closer, Zhu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and spat out the tea in his mouth.
She had already noticed that there was something wrong with the tea that Zhu's father poured for her, and she had not swallowed it from the beginning.
Mr. Yin was caught off guard and had saliva all over his face. Before he could react, Zhu Sheng held him down with his backhand and then pulled him hard. With a "click", half of his arm was removed.
ah--!
Mr. Yin groaned in pain, shouted for help, and tried to run to the door.
Zhu Sheng was worried about attracting people, so he simply took a rag and covered Mr. Yin's mouth tightly.
"No matter how much I say to an old pervert like you who is still so lecherous even though he is half buried in the ground, it will be useless. It is better to give him a beating so that he can learn the truth."
Old Master Yin's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the girl in disbelief, and a howling sound came from his mouth.
"Oh, you still want to threaten me? Or are you trying to pressure me by using your father who made a fortune by selling his daughter? It seems I haven't beaten you enough."
Zhu Sheng punched the old man hard several times, and within a few hits, Mr. Yin fell to the ground, unable to get up.
She pulled up Master Yin, who was lying paralyzed on the ground, and asked nonchalantly, "Do you still dare to provoke me?"
This time, Mr. Yin finally learned his lesson. He shook his head like a wave drum, his face full of snot and tears, and begged Zhu Sheng for mercy.
Just when she had almost finished playing and was about to leave Master Yin, a quarrel suddenly broke out in front of the door.
"I told you to open the door, don't you understand?"
"No, Mr. Gu, the master has said that there are distinguished guests inside."
