Old Master Zhou was speechless after being choked by Zhou Guangbo's words.
His face was somewhat pale, and he gripped his cane tightly, leaving only a helpless sigh.
"So you're still blaming me, just as I thought."
Zhou Guangbo smiled dismissively and said loudly, "What are you saying, old man? You are the high and mighty head of the Zhou family. You are so capable, starting from scratch and with amazing skills. How could I dare to blame you?"
The tone was sarcastic, devoid of any emotion.
After saying that, Zhou Guangbo turned and left.
Grandpa Zhou stood there, his body trembling slightly, and suddenly he coughed violently.
Seeing this, Zhou Xinlan quickly stepped forward and helped the trembling old man.
"Grandpa, are you alright?"
While speaking, she helped Grandpa Zhou catch his breath.
Grandpa Zhou glanced at Zhou Xinlan, patted her hand and said, "Good child, now, the Zhou family can only rely on you."
"Take good care of the Zhou family, and don't worry about anything else."
Zhou Xinlan couldn't quite understand what the old man meant by those words.
Is the Zhou family now only able to rely on her?
Don't worry about anything else?
She had always known that her father and grandfather did not get along, so what exactly did her father do?
Will it be more serious than my aunt's?
Mu Heng, dressed as a waiter and carrying a tray, stood in the crowd.
He had witnessed the entire scene just now.
His gaze was cold and arrogant as he looked in the direction Zhou Guangbo had left, his back teeth clenched tightly.
Zhou Guangbo!

Mu Xiaocheng and Ji Huaishen returned to Langming Garden, and Zhou Ningshuang was temporarily locked in the basement.
When Shang Qi saw Ji Huaishen return, he whispered something in Ji Huaishen's ear with a somewhat nervous expression.
Ji Huaishen frowned and looked at Mu Xiaocheng: "Let Ye Chiyan take you to the basement to talk to Zhou Ningshuang."
Suddenly being called upon, Young Master Chi immediately said ingratiatingly, "Sister-in-law, come with me."
Mu Xiaocheng asked in confusion, "What about you? Aren't you coming with me?"
Ji Huaishen gently rubbed her head, leaned down slightly, and said softly, "There's a tricky matter waiting for me to handle. I'll be back after I've dealt with it."
Mu Xiaocheng grasped the key point of that sentence.
Tricky.
"I'll go with you!"
She had a bad feeling; was Ji Huaishen in danger?
He had never used the word "tricky" before; it seemed that in his eyes, many things were easy to solve and there were no problems at all.
But judging from his tone, it seems like this matter is going to be very difficult.
Ji Huaishen shook his head.
"You stay home obediently, and... I'll have Shang Qi and Chi Yan stay to help you. You can decide what to do with the people."
Mu Xiaocheng looked up, her wet eyes fixed on him.
That involves too many factors.
"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?"
Ji Huai nodded deeply.
Mu Xiaocheng looked dejected and lowered her head.
Suddenly, she wrapped her arms around his strong waist and pressed her face against his chest.
"Then come back soon, I'll miss you."
These words seemed to strike a chord with Ji Huaishen, filling him with a soft, warm feeling.
He gently kissed her forehead.
"I will."
He's just going to check something; he'll come back once he finds out.
Mu Xiaocheng nodded obediently.
She feels like she's really grown up now.
Gone is the previous willfulness, gone are the many things that were absolutely necessary to do.
It's just a little bit more.
That is, listen to Ji Huaishen.
Ji Huaishen released her, turned around, and walked towards the door.
Suddenly, he stopped and looked at her earnestly: "I will miss you too."
My longing for you has never been less than my longing for you.
