Chapter 148 Not Expecting

Zhulan had been acting as a background board. Seeing that Wu Ming was not a big man, she threatened and intimidated him with a few words, forcing him not to leave. She asked someone to go to Dongcheng to tell Zhang Heng to take the silver and settle the matter. She lied that in order to keep his legs intact, the family took ten taels of silver. Zhang Heng did not show up, so he took twenty taels. In less than half an hour, he got thirty taels.

Zhulan looked at Wu Ming. He was only fifteen years old. The ancients were really precocious and were very good at taking advantage of situations. Moreover, this man was also ruthless. She saw clearly that if it wasn't for the wrong timing, Wu Ming really wanted to break the man's legs.

After getting the money, Wu Ming let the man go. Wu Ming frowned. He was just busy calculating when he noticed that the girl with the problem hadn't left yet. "Girl, aren't you going to leave?"

Wang Ru wanted to leave too. She found that the carriage outside the door had gone. She didn't know where the driver had gone, and she didn't dare to leave. Did they really think she wanted to stay? She was also frightened. The boss was the boss. A few words exchanged for thirty taels. "I'm waiting for the driver."

She cursed in her heart. This was the driver that Shi Qing assigned to her, but he actually abandoned her. She felt uneasy. Was Shi Qing trying to teach her a lesson? Or was he tricked by someone else? She had not forgotten that Shi Qing's stepmother was not a good person.

Zhulan estimated that it was almost noon. She was hungry and tugged at Zhou Shuren's sleeve. Zhou Shuren understood immediately, "Since the matter of nephew Wu Xian has been resolved, we will go back first."

Zhao Bo also stood up. He had a great time today. He also confirmed that Wu Ming was not someone to be trifled with. He was relieved and said with a smile, "I'll go back with you."

Wu Ming felt sorry. He had taken advantage of the situation today, and it would be wrong not to arrange a meal for them. "Uncle Zhou and Uncle Zhao, please stay and let me treat you to a simple meal as a thank you."

The favor today is not a meal, but he does not have the ability at the moment. He remembers to repay it in the future. He is a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and grudges.

Zhou Shuren was reluctant to stay for dinner. He wanted to have a fish feast with Zhulan. "Your family was frightened today and they need to be comforted. There is no rush to eat. Why not celebrate together after the college entrance examination? It will kill two birds with one stone."

Zhao Bo replied, "We are waiting for you, Xiao Sanyuan. You will have no choice but to invite us when the time comes."

Zhou Shuren, "......."

He didn't want Xiao Sanyuan to thank him. He really didn't believe that he would still be the second!

Zhulan looked at Zhou Shuren's indifferent face and smiled in her heart. Zhou Shuren also wanted to get first place.

Wu Ming looked sideways at his listless grandfather and his grandmother with red and swollen eyes. His younger brother and sister were also frightened. This was not a good time to express gratitude. "Then I'll listen to my two uncles."

I made up my mind to get the first place in the exam so as not to let the two uncles down!

Wang Ru looked at the Zhou family and the future boss getting closer and closer with a wooden face, but she didn't dare to make any move. The boss looked at her with such cold eyes that her eyes were bloodshot with jealousy. She was also afraid. Would she meet the one she was destined to meet? She was afraid that Zhou Xuehan would marry the male protagonist even if she was engaged. The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. Modern ideas took over. As long as they didn't get married, they were free!

Zhulan was worried that Li would not be able to come over to cook lunch at noon. What should she do? Even if the lady learned cooking skills, she would only be able to cook simple dishes!

Zhulan and her group walked out, and they saw a man coming towards them, followed by a servant. The man was very tall in ancient times, about 1.78 meters tall, with a face of about 16 or 17 years old, and a gentle and jade-like appearance. He was wearing mainly plain clothes and a jade pendant, which was quite visually impactful when he came towards them.

Nowadays, Zhulan likes TV dramas about immortals very much, especially the character Yuru from Stranger. It’s been over half a year, and now there’s a live-action version!

Zhou Shuren was unhappy and his face turned black. He couldn't help but touch his face. Why didn't he look like his modern self? He took off his glasses and his appearance was definitely no worse than what he saw now. He silently blocked Zhulan's sight.

Zhulan stared at Zhou Shuren's back. Even though she couldn't see his expression, she knew that he was jealous and looked unhappy. She couldn't help laughing. He had the potential to become a jealous person. She just admired him and stopped looking at him after that.

Wu Ming, the host, stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, sir, what brings you to my house?"
