It's all Xu Zhizhou's fault!
If it weren't for that bitch Xu Zhizhou, her son wouldn't have died!
Soon, the look in Old Mrs. Zheng's eyes was replaced by a deep-seated ruthlessness.
May the Bodhisattva protect you.
May she fulfill her wish and may that bastard child of some family die in P country!
Zheng Xiangrou smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry. So what if that little bastard is lucky enough to be diagnosed with Brock's illness? Lance said that the prescription she gave him won't cure Brock at all, and will only make his condition worse."
"Really?" Old Mrs. Zheng's eyes lit up instantly.
So, her wish is about to come true!
If Jiang Ning cannot cure Brock, the Ryan family will definitely not let her off the hook.
At that time.
Jiang Ning will surely be dismembered!
“Of course it’s true!” Zheng Xiangrou nodded. “I asked Mr. Lance myself.”
Grandma Zheng instantly felt a sense of relief!
good!
That's wonderful!
"Mom, Xiang Rou," Xu Zhizhou walked in from outside. Perhaps because she had been taking medicine for the past few days, she looked a little unwell. "The health tea is ready."
Xu Zhizhou carried the teapot to the two of them, first pouring a cup of tea for Old Madam Zheng, and then pouring a cup for Zheng Xiangrou.
This is Xu Zhizhou's daily routine.
I need to personally brew tea and make snacks for my mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
This afternoon I will go to the Buddhist temple to pray for the deceased Zheng Xiangqian.
Twenty years have passed.
Xu Zhizhou never left this ancient castle.
Her life was also monotonous day after day.
Zheng Xiangrou picked up her cup and took a sip of tea. Looking at Xu Zhizhou's face, she instantly thought of the scene where Jiang Ning called her a "banana" (a person who is Westernized and unattractive).
Damn little bitch!
How dare you insult her!
Zheng Xiangrou grew angrier the more she thought about it, her eyes practically blazing with fury. She gripped the cup tightly and then splashed the entire cup of tea onto Xu Zhizhou's face.
Xu Zhizhou didn't expect Zheng Xiangrou to do something like this so suddenly.
There was no time to dodge.
Before Xu Zhizhou could react, Zheng Xiangrou pointed at her and cursed, "Xu Zhizhou, you jinx! Killing my brother wasn't enough, now you're making such scalding tea? Are you trying to burn me to death?!"
hot?
Xu Zhizhou was taken aback. She had brewed the tea a long time ago and specially placed it in a constant-temperature teapot until the temperature dropped to 45 degrees Celsius before bringing it over.
"Xiang Rou, are you sure you're not mistaken?" Xu Zhizhou looked at Zheng Xiang Rou, his eyes slightly red. "This, this tea isn't hot."
"I said it's hot, so it's hot!" Seeing that Xu Zhizhou still dared to argue, Zheng Xiangrou raised her hand and slapped Xu Zhizhou across the face.
Snap!
A very loud slap.
Xu Zhizhou's face was slapped hard to the side, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
It hurts a lot.
But Xu Zhizhou did not shed tears; he simply covered his left cheek with his hand.
She finally understood.
My sister-in-law did it on purpose.
She said the tea was too hot; she was just trying to cause trouble for herself.
Grandma Zheng looked at Xu Zhizhou, frowning, and said, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear Xiaorou say the tea was too hot? Hurry up and brew another pot! Don't you have any common sense at all!"
"Okay, Mom."
Xu Zhizhou turned and left.
Only after Xu Zhizhou left the hall did Old Madam Zheng turn her gaze to Zheng Xiangrou, "What's wrong? Why are you taking your anger out on her?"
Zheng Xiangrou gritted her teeth, "Mom, do you know how that little bastard from the Shi family targeted me today!"
"That little bastard dares to target you?" Old Mrs. Zheng's expression also changed.
Zheng Xiangrou embellished the story of the "banana people" (people who are Westernized and impersonal).
After listening, Old Mrs. Zheng said coldly, "As expected, a lowly person gives birth to a lowly child!"
She still made Xu Zhizhou live too well!
no way.
Who told her to be a Buddhist and have a soft heart!
Otherwise, she would have killed Xu Zhizhou long ago.
After a moment, Old Mrs. Zheng continued, "By the way, did you see Will when you went to Lane Castle today?"
Will is the youngest lord in the House of Windsor.
This is also the highest branch Zheng Xiangrou most wants to climb.
Zheng Xiangrou shook her head slightly, "No."
No?
A look of doubt flashed in Grandma Zheng's eyes.
She had specifically asked someone to inquire, and it was only after learning that Will would also be visiting Lane Castle today that she sent Zheng Xiangrou.
Unexpected.
Zheng Xiangrou, however, missed her.
“It’s alright,” Grandma Zheng said to Zheng Xiangrou, “There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”
Zheng Xiangrou nodded.
With half of his face red and swollen, Xu Zhizhou walked towards the kitchen.
Tina happened to be walking over from the opposite side.
Seeing the unusual expression on Xu Zhizhou's face, she frowned slightly, "Madam."
Xu Zhizhou smiled at Tina.
As they got closer, Tina noticed the redness and swelling on Xu Zhizhou's face and immediately stopped. "Madam, did the old lady and the eldest young lady make things difficult for you again?"
Xu Zhizhou subconsciously stroked his cheek, his voice very soft, "This is what I owe them."
Her husband died protecting her.
It's normal for her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to see her as a thorn in their side.
Tina frowned slightly. "Come on, let's go to the infirmary. I'll treat your wound."
The Zheng family's castle is very large.
There are several medical rooms inside.
"No need," Xu Zhizhou said casually, "It's not a big deal."
"Let's go anyway," Tina said, pulling Xu Zhizhou's hand.
Xu Zhizhou nodded and followed Tina's footsteps.
She really likes Tina.
Tina was also one of the few people in the entire castle who was willing to lend a helping hand to Xu Zhizhou.
Xu Zhizhou felt a long-lost warmth from Tina.
The two arrived at the infirmary.
Tina found the first-aid kit. "Madam, this medicine is a bit strong and may hurt a lot. Please bear with it."
"OK."
Tina began applying medicine to Xu Zhizhou.
Throughout the entire process, Xu Zhizhou didn't even frown; his eyes were filled with unwavering determination.
I don't know why.
Through Xu Zhizhou's eyes, Tina seemed to see another Xu Zhizhou.
A different Xu Zhizhou.
This is very different from her usual submissive personality.
After applying the medicine, Tina continued, "Madam, have you been feeling unwell lately? You don't seem to be as energetic as before."
Xu Zhizhou shook his head. "It's alright, Dr. Songluo has already prescribed medicine for me."
Upon hearing the name Songluo, Tina didn't think much of it.
After applying the medicine, Xu Zhizhou left the clinic and went to the kitchen to continue brewing tea.
Tina received a phone call.
It was her sister Zelda who called.
The two sisters chatted for a while before Zelda got down to business. "Olivia was almost hit by a car on the road the other day. Luckily, she met a Chinese heroine. If it weren't for her, we probably wouldn't have seen Olivia again."
Zelda recounted how the car suddenly rushed towards them, and how Jiang Ning miraculously saved Olivia.
Tina was shocked. "Sister, we should really thank that Chinese heroine!"
