Zhou Yuntang's face was sullen, but he couldn't continue to target Shi Miao because he had just been scolded by his uncle. Shi Miao was a cunning person, accustomed to playing pitiful in front of adults. Judging from her shameless appearance with her uncle, she didn't take his previous warning seriously at all.
Zhou Man tugged at Zhou Yuntang's sleeve and said, "Brother, we are all family from now on, we have to get along well."
After saying this, she took the initiative to walk over to Shi Miao and said in a friendly manner, "Can I call you Miao Miao? Who is older between the two of us?"
Wang Hui, the second wife of the Wen family, said: "Miaomiao was born one day earlier than you."
Zhou Man tried to make her smile look sweet and charming. "Then I should call you sister. I have a few friends I know. Please invite sister to come over and play. They are very nice people. I'm sure you will get along well."
She felt uncomfortable. Shi Miao's birthday was the day before hers, and with the importance her two uncles showed her, they were likely to hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony for her next year. Wouldn't that steal her limelight? However, no matter how unhappy she was, she couldn't show it, and even had to maintain her composure.
Zhou Liuan, the second young master of the Zhou family, cast his eyes over Shi Miao's beautiful and refined face, and said in a gentle voice, "Then Miao Miao is my sister from now on. You should follow Yan Zi and call me brother. I'll take you out to play. Do you have a favorite star? I'll get an autograph for you when I have the chance. You can also take a photo with us if you want."
He thought his eldest brother was too foolish, completely clueless. Someone like Shi Miao, from a background so young and unworldly, could simply introduce her to a few seemingly glamorous but ruthless wealthy young men. She'd fall for their traps for the sake of wealth and fame, and her uncle and the others would also see her true colors. Why force the relationship? It only gave Shi Miao the opportunity to play it safe. With this in mind, Zhou Liuan presented himself as a good brother to Shi Miao.
Zhou Man pulled Shi Miao aside to talk, and then took out her crown and gave it to her cousin Wen Yanshan, "Yanshan, this is the crown I designed for you, do you like it?"
She said to Shi Miao with an apologetic look, "I didn't expect you to come back today, so I didn't prepare a gift for you. Come to my room later, and you can pick out anything you like."
Shi Miao simply picked up a rose from a nearby vase and said, "This flower is blooming beautifully. I like it. Let's take this one."
Zhou Yuntang looked at this scene and snorted in his heart - she is good at pretending, is she deliberately showing that she has no desires or demands?
He suddenly remembered the incident when he met Shi Miao, and a rare smile appeared on his face. "By the way, Shi Miao, when we last met, you said that I would have a bloody disaster in the near future, but I am still fine. It seems that you can also be unpredictable."
"When will this bloody disaster come?"
Shi Miao looked at the aura on him and said meaningfully, "It's almost there."
That's about a quarter of an hour.
