"Get lost!" Zhou Jin was too lazy to talk to Zhou Ruonan and shouted angrily.
With a shout, Zhou Jin rang the bell beside the bed.
"Dad! I..." Zhou Ruonan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Wang Jing who had rushed over.
"Ms. Zhou, please leave immediately. Mr. Zhou needs to rest." Wang Jing shooed her away without any hesitation.
"Who do you think you are? This is my dad's room. I can stay here as long as I want." Zhou Ruonan finally found a place to vent her anger, put her hands on her hips, and said aggressively to Wang Jing.
"Are you leaving or not?" Wang Jing asked directly, not wanting to waste any more words.
"I'm not leaving, what can you do about it?" Zhou Ruonan said angrily, her eyes wide.
A flash of silver light appeared in Wang Jing's hand.
Before Zhou Ruonan could react, Wang Jing's silver needle had already pierced Zhou Ruonan's pressure point, causing her to fall into a deep sleep.
Zhou Ruonan's vision went black, and she stumbled and fell.
Wang Jing reached out and helped Zhou Ruonan up, preventing her from bumping her head and getting a big bump.
Zhou Jin smiled and gave Wang Jing a thumbs up.
That rebellious daughter of Zhou Ruonan had just made his head buzz with anger.
Dr. Wang's move was brilliant.
"Old Zhou, I'll carry her back to her room," Wang Jing said with a grin.
Wang Jing's injection will surely allow Zhou Ruonan to sleep soundly until dawn. She can even skip dinner.
"Go ahead! Next time she nags, you can knock her out again." Zhou Jin waved with a smile.
Wang Jing smiled and carried Zhou Ruonan out of the room.
After returning to her room, Zhao Zhenzhu couldn't resist opening the box to see what was inside.
Seeing the glittering gold in front of her, Zhao Zhenzhu quickly closed the box and said, "Jiakai, take your sister over there to look at the comic books."
Zhao Zhenzhu didn't want them to see the valuables in the house.
After all, the child is still young and has no sense of caution.
It wouldn't be good if I accidentally let something slip and it caused unnecessary trouble.
After Zhou Jiakai and his sister left, Zhao Zhenzhu opened the box and examined it closely.
In the wooden box given to Zhao Zhenzhu, there was a set of gold jewelry, a set of jade jewelry, eight gold bars weighing 250 grams each, and a house deed.
Inside Zhou Yunyun's brocade box were four gold bars and a set of ruby jewelry.
Inside Zhou Jiakai's brocade box were four gold bars and a set of sapphire jewelry.
"Hiss~!" Zhao Zhenzhu gasped.
The old man is so generous!
Such a large sum at once?
"Bingchen, how come the old man has so many good things?" Zhao Zhenzhu asked.
“The Zhou family is a wealthy family, and this wealth has been passed down from our ancestors.” Zhou Bingchen smiled and handed a small wooden box to Zhao Zhenzhu, saying, “Zhenzhu, this is what my grandfather gave me this morning. Inside are all the property of my father and mother, as well as a gift from my grandfather to me.”
"Zhou Bingchen, you're entrusting all this wealth to me for safekeeping. Aren't you afraid I'll abscond with the money?" Zhao Zhenzhu said with a smile, without opening the box.
“The pearls are yours now that I’ve given them to you. If you leave me in the future, it won’t be because you want to take these things, but because you’re disappointed in me as a person,” Zhou Bingchen said earnestly.
Zhao Zhenzhu blinked.
How come Zhou Bingchen has become so eloquent after only two months?
When Zhou Bingchen came home last time, he was like a block of wood.
"Pearl, what's wrong?" Zhou Bingchen asked.
"Zhou Bingchen, I've noticed you've become quite the charmer lately! Did you secretly read some dating guide or something?" Zhao Zhenzhu asked curiously.
"A dating guide? Are there such books?" Zhou Bingchen was stunned.
"I don't know, I was just using an analogy," Zhao Zhenzhu said with a grin. "You used to never say sweet words or do anything considerate. Don't forget, in our seven years of marriage, you wouldn't even send me your allowance. Now you've suddenly become so generous; I'm really apprehensive!"
"Pearl, I made mistakes before, can you please not bring up the past? Please forgive me!" Zhou Bingchen blushed.
"Fine, since you know you're wrong and can correct your mistakes, I'll reluctantly forgive you!" Zhao Zhenzhu glanced at Zhou Bingchen and said.
Zhou Bingchen breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Bingchen knew that Zhao Zhenzhu was not a greedy person.
If Zhao Zhenzhu still wanted a divorce, she wouldn't have accepted Zhou Bingchen's gifts at all.
Zhao Zhenzhu's willingness to accept the divorce indicates that she is not planning to get a divorce for the time being.
Zhou Bingchen had another dream last night.
This time, Zhou Bingchen dreamed that Zhao Zhenzhu poisoned Zhou Fugui's family and committed suicide by jumping into a river before waking up.
When Zhou Bingchen woke up, tears were streaming down his face.
His pearl, implicated by him in her past life, suffered such a miserable fate. And his two children, Jia Kai and Yun Yun, also met with bad ends.
Zhou Bingchen decided that he would treat Zhao Zhenzhu and the two children better from now on.
He wants to do his best to make up for the regrets of his previous life.
Zhao Zhenzhu looked at the several boxes of different sizes on the bed and fell into deep thought.
Zhou Jin treated them sincerely, and Zhao Zhenzhu couldn't take Zhou Jin's kindness for granted.
Zhou Jin was neither short of money nor power.
What Zhou Jin needs most right now is the leaves of the "Three Lives Tree".
Zhao Zhenzhu suspected that the "withered branch" in her space was the Three Lives Tree.
She had hesitated for a while because she was afraid that people would discover her secret of possessing a spatial ability.
Now, Zhao Zhenzhu can't care about that anymore.
If the tree in the space really is the Three Lives Tree, then Zhou Jin can be saved.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhenzhu made an excuse to go to the toilet. In the bathroom, she entered her spatial dimension, found the sandalwood box that she had brought with her as part of her dowry, and emptied its contents.
Then, he pulled a sealed bag out of a container and teleported to the side of the "withered branch".
The "withered branch" can no longer be called a withered branch; it is entirely green, like a small jade tree. The leaves emit a faint fragrance.
"Are you the Three Lives Tree? You are... right?" Zhao Zhenzhu circled the sapling a few times, and the more she looked at it, the more it seemed like it.
Zhao Zhenzhu reached out to pinch the leaves, but the hard, unyielding texture reminded her of when the "withered branches" were still withered branches, impossible to cut even with an axe.
"Please, please, let me pluck a leaf! It's for saving a life. My grandfather, Bingchen, is a patriotic and people-loving old soldier. He's sick and needs your leaf to save his life. As for the things in the space, take whatever you like." Zhao Zhenzhu clasped her hands together and bowed to the sapling.
The sapling swayed slightly, and a leaf slowly drifted towards Zhao Zhenzhu.
Zhao Zhenzhu was overjoyed and quickly caught the leaf, put it into a sealed bag, and then put the sealed bag into the sandalwood box.
Why would Zhao Zhenzhu go to such lengths to put leaves in her dowry box?
This was Zhao Zhenzhu's little secret.
First, Zhao Zhenzhu cannot reveal her personal space, so she must find a background for Ye Zi.
Packing it in a sandalwood box elevates the leaf's prestige. It also has a provenance—it's a family heirloom from the Zhao family.
Whether others believe it or not, that's all Zhao Zhenzhu can say.
Believe it or not, Zhao Zhenzhu only provides one answer.
