Zhuang Weifeng felt a surge of anger. He said indignantly, "Those people are so hateful! We paid so much money, but they wouldn't let us stay in the underground shelter. Instead, they pushed us back to China. It's outrageous!"
"It's too late to say all this now. Fortunately, they have given us a lot of supplies. As long as we do well in the future, their support will not stop. Now we can only follow their arrangements." Zhuang Yihao was not as indignant as his nephew. He and Tian Zhong lost such a large sum of money, but they are still alive and well, so it's not a bad deal.
"The world is in such chaos right now. We have guns, men, and supplies. Why don't we go it alone? Why listen to those bastards?" Zhuang Weifeng had this idea for a long time. Recently, they had robbed a lot of things and killed a lot of people on the road. Zhuang Weifeng's ambition was about to reach the sky.
Upon hearing his nephew's words, Zhuang Yihao turned and glared at him fiercely, saying, "Keep your tail tucked in tight! The situation in China is much more orderly than abroad right now. The fact that we've been able to get this done smoothly along the way is because we've temporarily taken advantage of a loophole. Before China completely descends into chaos, you can't have any such thoughts. As for those people, 'a general in the field may disobey the emperor's orders,' so we'll listen to them if we can. We still need their support."
Zhuang Weifeng understood the implied meaning in his uncle's words and obediently nodded.
"By the way, how are things going with Mingyue lately? I hope you two can get married when we get to N City," Zhuang Yihao asked again.
Zhuang Weifeng's face showed annoyance upon hearing this. He said, "Women always act high and mighty. She used to swarm me like a fly, but now that I'm nice to her, she's started putting on airs. I really don't want to talk to her. What a spoiled brat!"
Zhuang Yihao: "Just bear with it. We were able to return to China smoothly thanks to the Qin family. More than half of the people and supplies in the convoy belong to the Qin family. We are inferior to them now, so we have to endure it. If you want to turn things around in the future, what is this little grievance? In the future, we will eat them up and we can do whatever we want with them."
Zhuang Weifeng was well aware of this principle, so he nodded and replied, "I understand, I will try harder."
Li Ke braved the wind and snow to return to the dormitory building. Outside, she brushed all the snow off her head and clothes onto a snowdrift before pushing open the heavy, airtight cotton curtain and entering the building.
Although it wasn't particularly warm inside the building, compared to the biting cold wind outside, it was like a gentle breeze inside.
Li Ke went straight back to her room on the seventh floor. She had just finished washing up and changing her clothes when she came out and was about to put out her big bed when she heard a series of knocks on the door.
Li Ke walked over and opened the door. Jian Ye, who was standing outside, was stunned when she saw the clean and refreshing Li Ke. She felt as if her heart had been struck by lightning again.
He laughed and said, "You're still so beautiful. Don't bother with those dull skin products. No one here will dare to bully you. Oh, and let me get you some more skincare products. The weather is so dry and cold right now. Girls' skin is so delicate, you need to take good care of it."
Li Ke: "Thank you, no need, I have one. May I ask what's the matter?"
Jian Ye then got down to business, saying, "I made hot pot, please come and eat with me. In this weather, there's nothing more comfortable than eating hot pot. Let's go, you're the only one missing."
Li Ke declined, saying, "No need, I've already eaten and was just about to rest."
If she wanted to eat hot pot, she had everything readily available in her space, including over a hundred shelves of hot pot ingredients. Li Ke didn't want to owe Jian Ye any favors, so no matter how enthusiastic he was, she would just stay cold.
Jian Ye smiled again: "I knew you would refuse, but you really have to go this time. Your mother is sitting in my room. She came to see you when you weren't home, so I invited her to sit in my room first."
"Who did you say?!" Li Ke didn't understand what "mother" meant for a moment. This term was too distant from her, and Li Zhenzhen had returned from abroad so quickly? Her life was too good!
