Zhou Yuanyuan is not a domineering person. If she does something wrong, she will definitely accept Xiaoyu's criticism humbly.
"Really? Well, master, please ask the old man to give me the white jade ornament on the table as compensation for my loss." Xiaoyu thought for a while and said.
Although the white jade ornament was not considered a good thing in Xiaoyu's eyes, it contained a trace of the spiritual power that Xiaoyu needed. With this spiritual power, Xiaoyu could barely extract a trace of pure spiritual energy to make up for it.
A white jade ornament? What white jade ornament? Zhou Yuanyuan's eyes darted around the table in Wen Yiran's room before she spotted a jade carving of a pot of daffodils.
The jade carving was so lifelike that it was obviously worth a lot of money. If Xiaoyu hadn't said anything, Zhou Yuanyuan would have thought it was a pot of real daffodils!
Asking for a reward from Grandpa Wen? Is that appropriate? Zhou Yuanyuan frowned. Two lifetimes of upbringing had prevented her from doing good and expecting something in return.
"Xiaoyu, why don't we just go out and buy other people's things ourselves?" Zhou Yuanyuan thought about it and rejected Xiaoyu's request. She rescued Wen Yiran because she wanted to, not because Wen Yiran asked her to save him. After saving him, he asked for his valuables. Zhou Yuanyuan felt a lot of pressure in her heart.
"Hmph! Master, you don't like Xiaoyu, so I won't pay attention to you." Xiaoyu was angry, and no matter how much Zhou Yuanyuan called her, she didn't say a word.
Zhou Yuanyuan was completely confused, but it was not suitable for her to look into her sea of consciousness at the Wen family's house at the moment, so she had to put these questions aside for the time being, thinking of entering her sea of consciousness to see what was going on when she returned to the guesthouse.
After Wen Yiran had such a dangerous experience, the commotion upstairs became louder.
Wu Xiuli and her daughter heard the voices of Zhao Qingshan and others talking upstairs, and they were so scared that their faces turned pale.
It seems that you really can't talk about people behind their backs. I clearly saw Zhao Qingshan and his group leaving in a hurry, so why did they hide upstairs? Wu Xiuli was extremely annoyed. Before Wu Xiuli and her daughter could think of a way to smooth things over, the doorbell of the Wen family rang.
Wen Ziyun and Wen Ziqiu looked at each other and said at the same time: "Mom, I'm going back to my room to do my homework."
Before Wu Xiuli could say anything, Wen Ziyun and Wen Ziqiu went up the stairs with a few "dong dong dong" steps and went back to their room. They had caused such a big disaster, and they still didn't leave. Were they waiting for Grandpa to come out and deal with them?
After Zhou Xi rang the doorbell for the second time, he stood in front of the Wen family's small building with a stern face and looked at the surrounding environment.
That’s right, this is Wen Yiran’s home.
When Wu Xiuli opened the door, she saw Zhou Xi with an impatient look on his face.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" Wu Xiuli felt a little timid under the pressure of Zhou Xi's momentum.
"Go tell your master that Zhou Xi from Kyoto is visiting." Zhou Xi looked at Wu Xiuli and frowned. What happened to Wen Yiran? He hired such a servant? What a fool. The Zhou family would never employ such a tactless servant.
"I... I..." Wu Xiuli was both embarrassed and angry. She understood that the visitor regarded her as the Wen family's domestic worker. No wonder, she was suddenly startled by the voices of Wen Yiran and Zhao Qingshan, and was surprised by the behavior of her two children. When she came to open the door, she was still holding a wet mop in her hand!
The first time Zhou Xi saw Wu Xiuli, he was disgusted by her aura. A large mass of yellow, white and green floated above her head, like the feces of some creature. It was obvious at a glance that this woman had evil intentions and was not a good person.
"Why don't you go and inform them?" Zhou Xi saw Wu Xiuli's dithering and felt a little impatient. If he hadn't wanted to find Wen Yiran for something, Zhou Xi would have wanted to turn around and leave. Zhou Xi felt annoyed every time he looked at Wu Xiuli.
"Oh, oh." Wu Xiuli was scolded by Zhou Xi. She forgot to explain to Zhou Xi that she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wen family. She could only shout upstairs: "Dad, someone named Zhou Xi wants to see you."
Zhou Xi? Before Wen Yiran could react, Wen Yulong, who was in the study, heard Wu Xiuli's cry and hurried downstairs. He had just been in the study, thinking about the special operations team, and Zhou Xi, the deputy captain, showed up? That powerful aura just now must have been released by Zhou Xi, right?
Wen Yulong thought he had found the truth.
"Butler Zhou, it's you! Please come in. My dad's upstairs and won't be down for a while." Wen Yulong greeted Zhou Xi with a broad smile. Zhou Xi's special operations team had once collaborated with the unit under Wen Yulong's command, so Zhou Xi knew Wen Yulong from that experience.
"Wen Yulong, is that your wife?" Zhou Xi heard Wu Xiuli calling Wen Yiran "Dad". What else didn't he understand?
"Yes, it's my wife Wu Xiuli." Wen Yulong, who was upstairs, didn't hear the conversation between Zhou Xi and Wu Xiuli just now. He thought Zhou Xi asked this out of curiosity, so he quickly answered.
"Wen Yulong, your vision is really not good." Zhou Xi shook his head, walked past Wen Yulong and walked into the Wen family. Zhou Xi knew Wen Yulong's ex-wife Cao Aimei, a very pure woman, with clear love and hate, and no twists and turns in her heart. It's a pity that the beauty had a short life, Zhou Xi shook his head.
Wen Yulong was startled, then caught up with Zhou Xi and said, "Butler Zhou, please sit down for a while. I'll go upstairs to find my dad." As for Zhou Xi's judgment on Wu Xiuli, Wen Yulong didn't dare to refute it, but he didn't care much. He had already married his own woman, no matter how bad she was. Could he kick her out and marry her again? Besides, Xiuli had managed the household affairs in an orderly manner over the years. Not only did she educate her own children well, she also cared for Ziqing. What else was there to be bad about?
Everyone in Kyoto who has a certain status knows that Zhou Xi has a superb "Qi-Observing Technique". Those who he is optimistic about usually have a bright future, and those who he is not optimistic about have never been heard of as having great prospects.
However, Zhou Xi wouldn't use this secret technique lightly. He felt a bit uneasy this morning, feeling like something big was going to happen. It was also his first time at the Wen family's, and he wasn't sure if the incident he'd sensed would happen there. So, when Wu Xiuli opened the door, he unwittingly used this secret technique, which naturally ended up making him feel disgusted.
Wen Yulong didn't give Zhou Xi much credit for this ability. He thought it was probably just a rumor spread by others to elevate Zhou Xi's status. If Zhou Xi was truly that capable, he would have already established his own faction. Why would he still be hiding under General Zhou's wing?
Upstairs, Wen Yiran had already heard Wu Xiuli's shout and knew that Zhou Xi had come. He quickly said to Zhao Qingshan, "Brother Zhao, I'd like to introduce you to a remarkable man. Perhaps you could learn from him."
