Zhou Yuntang came with Shen Qian, having originally planned to come alone. But when Shen Qian learned he was looking for Shi Miao, he became interested and insisted on joining them, stating his deep interest in this legendary, benevolent master of metaphysics. He was like a scabby dog, and Zhou Yuntang couldn't shake him off. He didn't want to make multiple trips just for someone like Shi Miao, so he had no choice but to let him tag along.
Seeing Shi Miao approaching from afar, Zhou Yuntang's expression was momentarily lost. Although he had seen her in photos before, Shi Miao was even more beautiful in person, and more like his deceased grandmother. Her temperament was as fresh as the morning dew, so it was no wonder that she had won the hearts of both uncles.
The fact that the other person only came downstairs to see him after hearing his name shows that she only cares about status and power. No matter how beautiful she is, she is no different from those gold-diggers around him who are trying to curry favor with rich and powerful people.
However, when Shen Qian saw Shi Miao, his eyes lit up and he said, "Your cousin is prettier than your sister."
Because the Wen family showed importance to Shi Miao, everyone in the circle tacitly assumed that the Wen family would adopt Shi Miao as their adopted daughter, so Chen Qian joked that Shi Miao was Zhou Yuntang's cousin.
Zhou Yuntang snorted coldly, "We haven't even started dating yet, how can she be considered my cousin?"
Chen Qian shook his head. "I don't understand why you are so hostile to her. When you see such a fragile beauty, don't you know what it means to be gentle and considerate to a woman?"
While they were talking, Shi Miao had already come in front of them, looking at them with clear eyes.
"Are you Shi Miao?" Zhou Yuntang's voice was very cold, as if covered with a layer of ice.
Shi Miao nodded, "What do you want from me?" Just by looking at Zhou Yuntang's undisguised expression of disgust, one could tell that he was up to no good.
Zhou Yuntang said coldly, "Understand your status and stop coveting things that don't belong to you."
Shi Miao showed a hurt expression, "I don't know what you are talking about. I don't want a single cent of what doesn't belong to me."
She understood. Zhou Yuntang wanted to get back at Zhou Man, right?
She meant what she said; she wouldn't take anything that didn't belong to her. But by transmigrating into this body, she also bore some of the consequences. Even if she threw away the things that belonged to the original owner, she wouldn't leave them to Zhou Man. If she hadn't transmigrated, the original owner's life would have been a perfect comparison to Zhou Man's happiness as a beloved family, a tragedy in the truest sense.
The disgust in Zhou Yuntang's eyes grew stronger. "Put away your hypocritical expression. I'm not like other men. I won't fall for your tricks."
Shi Miao lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering gently, making her look particularly innocent. Chen Qian saw it and felt that Zhou Yuntang was simply sick. He could speak so harshly to such an innocent girl, even though Shi Miao had done nothing.
"Yun Tang, don't always make things difficult for a little girl."
Shi Miao's voice was soft. "He may have misunderstood me. I know what many people say about me behind my back. But I also believe that people's true character will be revealed over time. Sooner or later, everyone will see my character."
The sarcasm on Zhou Yuntang's face was clear. "You are quite good at talking. You just rely on this mouth to deceive my uncle. If you want to get promoted, that's your business. But if you dare to step on my sister, don't blame me for being rude. I will tell you to go back to where you came from."
Chen Qian couldn't stand it anymore. Why didn't he realize that Zhou Yuntang was such an unreasonable person before?
Shi Miao's face was pale, but his back was straight, and his eyes seemed to be shining with water. "I understand. It's because the Wen family wants to hold a welcome party for me, so you feel sorry for your sister, right?"
She said softly, "I don't understand. The Wen family is free to decide how much they want to give me. Why are you so angry? If you're unhappy, you can go directly to the two Wen ladies. Why come to me?"
Zhou Yuntang didn't think that both branches of the Wen family should pamper Zhou Man and treat her as the center of the world, right? He didn't dare to get angry at Wang Hui and the others, so he came to pick a fight with her. In the final analysis, he was just bullying the weak and fearing the strong. The original owner's brother really had a bad character.
Zhou Yuntang's face was livid. "My two aunts used to be so kind to Manman, but now their attitude has become cold. I can't think of anyone else who is interfering except you. It's okay if you don't admit it, but one day I will reveal your true face."
Because Chen Qian was beside him, Zhou Yuntang couldn't say too many harsh words, and finally left with a sullen face.
Chen Qian stayed and comforted Shi Miao, "Just ignore what he said. He's usually normal, but his IQ drops when he meets his sister. You're not the first person he threatens."
Everyone in the circle knew that Zhou Man was the Achilles' heel of the two eldest sons of the Zhou family. Anyone who displeased her would be met with violent retaliation from them. Chen Qian felt that these two were simply suffering from paranoia.
Shi Miao looked at him gratefully, his expression still carrying a bit of sadness and sorrow of being misunderstood. "Thank you for comforting me. You are a good person."
She appeared hurt, but inwardly she felt nothing. After all, she had never held any expectations of Zhou Yuntang. Of course, this didn't stop her from pretending to be nice in front of others, making it easier for her to point fingers from a moral high ground later on. After all, if you don't occupy the moral high ground, someone else will. This is called taking someone else's path, leaving them with nowhere else to go.
Shi Miao took out a talisman. "Although he has many misunderstandings and dislikes towards me, he is Yanshan's cousin after all. I just calculated that he will suffer a bloody disaster within ten days. Give him this talisman. Don't tell him it's from me, otherwise he will definitely not accept it."
Did Shi Miao really want to help Zhou Yuntang? Of course not! She just knew that with Zhou Yuntang's personality, there was no way he would accept her so-called kindness. When the bloody disaster really came, others would only say that he deserved it. This amulet was actually for Chen Qian. He was considered a good person, but he recently encountered a life-or-death crisis, which could result in disability at best and death at worst.
