"Chengcai, when did you become so close to Ziyun that he would even contact you?" Wu Xiushi was very puzzled when he received the call. Wen Ziyun was so reluctant to greet his uncle when he saw him on the street. When did he become such a good friend of Chengcai?
"Dad, my cousin Ziyun came to Lijing to see me last night. He stayed there all night and left this morning." When Wu Chengcai talked about this, he couldn't help but show off to Wu Xiushi.
Regent Nightclub is where Wu Chengcai currently "works." It took Wen Ziyun a week to go from pretending he didn't see him to calling him "cousin." So, this guy! There are no permanent enemies or permanent friends; it all comes down to whether the benefits are sufficient. He took Wen Ziyun out for a good time, and Wen Ziyun accepted him as her "cousin."
Wu Xiushi was shocked and scolded, "Chengcai, you idiot, why did you take Ziyun to the nightclub? If your aunt knew that you were taking Ziyun to a nightclub, she would scold you to death."
"Hmph! Dad, what are you afraid of? Haven't you seen through my aunt after all these years? She's a bully at home, and you're the only one who thinks she's a good person. She's bringing trouble to both her husband's family and her own family." Wu Chengcai curled his lips and spoke nonchalantly. He had deliberately set a trap for Wen Ziyun, so what? As long as Wen Ziyun was willing to fall for it, could my aunt still blame him?
"But you can't take your cousin to that kind of place, can you? He's still a middle school student! If your uncle gets angry, we might not be able to stay in Kyoto." Wu Xiushi was still in awe of Wen Yulong.
"Tsk! Dad, our uncle-in-law is such a coward that he can't even control my aunt, and he still wants to embarrass us? We used to be afraid of him, but now we have Brother Long's support, so we don't have to be afraid of a thing!" Wu Chengcai couldn't stand his father treating Wen Yulong like a "god". What son of aristocratic family? What innate nobility? Look at his good cousin these days, he's not even as good as him, who grew up in the market! Not only does he eat and drink for free, but he also "whores" for free. Fortunately, these days will soon be over. In a few days, Wu Chengcai will be able to make his good cousin kneel down and beg him.
"Well... he's still an official after all." Wu Xiushi said awkwardly. Unlike his son, Wu Xiushi felt that it was his family's dishonesty that had implicated Wen Yulong in the last incident. Even if his sister Wu Xiuli was Wen Yulong's wife, she was still a member of his family, wasn't she?
"Dad, forget it! Even if I didn't bring him, cousin Ziyun is not a good person. After going to Regent, he dared to try anything, whether it was fragrant or smelly." Wu Chengcai couldn't help but retort to Wu Xiushi. In Wu Chengcai's opinion, his father was too honest, so he was fooled by his aunt Wu Xiuli. It was Wu Xiuli who came up with the idea of passing inferior goods off as good ones. The ones who took the risk were his family and his second uncle's family. Wu Xiuli took the money behind the scenes, and when something went wrong, she knew how to blame her mother's family. Wu Chengcai really didn't want such an aunt.
The eldest aunt Wu Xiuyun is the one who treats them with all her heart, and the younger aunt Wu Xiuli? It's good enough that she doesn't come back to her parents' home to take advantage of them.
Wu Chengcai simply couldn't stand his father. Why was he so reverent towards Wen Ziyun's family? If it weren't for his troublemaker aunt, would their business have gone bankrupt? Would they have to be living in poverty like they were now? Did Wu Chengcai have to embark on such a path of no return? His family had been so badly damaged by Wu Xiuli, so why was she still able to live so proudly as a "lady"?
"Chengcai, we are ordinary people. Don't mess with nobles like your cousin. We may be poor now, but we can get better in the future." Wu Xiushi persuaded his eldest son. Wu Xiushi was a little worried. Ever since his family went bankrupt, Wu Chengcai seemed to have changed. He used to be honest and would listen to whatever he said. But what about now? Ever since he started working with that Brother Long, he sleeps at home during the day and goes out to make money at night. Not only does he dress beautifully, but he also bought a big gold chain to hang around his neck. Alas! He really doesn't understand the world of young people.
"Dad, I'm just trying to find a way to help us get out of poverty quickly. Who cares if he's a cousin or an older brother? Wouldn't he help us just because we're poor? If we don't have money to pay the rent, the landlord will evict us." Wu Chengcai said with a sneer.
"Chengcai, aren't we living a better life now? You even have the gold chain. As for your cousin, you should try to persuade him to return to the right path." Wu Xiushi still felt something was amiss. Businessmen, they value harmony and good will. If Wu Xiuli knew what Wu Chengcai was doing behind the scenes, she would surely want to eat their entire family.
"Dad, I understand. I'll try to persuade my cousin Ziyun." Wu Chengcai was very dissatisfied when he saw that Wu Xiushi was still thinking about his "cousin". However, Wu Chengcai would not argue with Wu Xiushi, lest Wu Xiushi ruin his "grand plan".
Seeing Wu Chengcai nod, Wu Xiushi stopped nagging. Forget it, forget it. The family relies on their eldest son now. If he, as a father, talks too much, Meihua will start yelling at him again. A harmonious family brings prosperity!
Zhou Yuanyuan settled into a regular study routine. From Monday to Friday, she would attend school obediently. On Saturdays, when school was closed, she would return to the Zhou family home for a couple of days.
In order not to put too much psychological pressure on Zhou Yuanyuan, Principal Xiao did not publicize the fact that Zhou Yuanyuan skipped a grade to the third year of high school except for Principal Xiao and the teacher of Class 1 of the third year of high school.
After Wu Youwei was kicked out of Chaoyang Middle School by Principal Xiao, the teachers of Chaoyang Middle School would greet Wen Yulong with a smile in front of him, but would point fingers at him as soon as they turned around.
Wen Yulong had sharp ears and heard these people say things like, "He's not loyal," "He took advantage of Wu Youwei and then walked away without caring about his life or death," and "Working with a leader like that is bound to bring bad luck." Wen Yulong remembered Wu Youwei's harsh words that day and knew it must be Wu Youwei's doing, but he could only swallow his anger.
Wen Yulong couldn't just pull a colleague aside and explain that he didn't do anything to Wu Youwei, right?
With Principal Xiao's intervention, the morning exercises had returned to their previous intensity. Although Wen Yulong was somewhat dissatisfied, he did not dare to confront Principal Xiao.
After Wu Youwei was transferred, the new Dean of Education, Zhang Huajiang, was appointed as Principal Xiao's close associate. Whenever Wen Yulong asked Zhang Huajiang to do something without going through Principal Xiao, Zhang Huajiang would always ask Principal Xiao for permission first.
Over time, Wen Yulong began to feel somewhat bored. Even though he was the secretary, if his subordinates didn't follow through on the orders he issued at Chaoyang Middle School, he would only embarrass himself further if he continued to speak up.
