If he was fine later, he would like to see how Shi Miao would step down.
Zhou Yuntang's disdain for Shi Miao reached its peak. He turned to chat with his uncle about company matters. Wen Chenghan slowly shared his experience in this area. In his opinion, his nephew's business talent was far greater than his brother-in-law's. If his brother-in-law hadn't had him and his sister to help him, the Zhou family's assets might have been largely destroyed, and there was no way they would have multiplied their assets over the years.
Since Zhou Yuntang did not take the initiative to provoke, the scene suddenly seemed much more peaceful.
Wen Yanshan thought that she and Sister Manman had grown up together, and seeing that Sister Manman was very kind to Shi Miao and had even prepared a gift for her, she forgave her for almost cheating her some time ago. She put on the crown Zhou Man had given her, praising the gift repeatedly and saying how much it touched her heart.
Zhou Man took a look and suddenly clapped her hands, saying, "This crown can be paired with one of my phoenix embroidered shawls. I think it will go well with it. I'll go find it."
Wen Yanshan stopped her, "Sister, don't bother. I remember you liked that shawl very much."
Zhou Man said affectionately, "What's the trouble? We are good sisters who grew up together. There is nothing I can't give you."
She and Yanzi were her true family, and she only hoped Yanzi could understand this and not be so foolish as to side with an outsider. Zhou Man even suspected that Shi Miao had cast a spell on her uncle and the others, otherwise why would her uncle be so kind to outsiders?
She stood up, holding the hem of her skirt and was about to go to her room. However, the skirt Zhou Man was wearing today was very long and dragged on the floor. In her hurry, she stepped on her skirt while running.
Zhou Man's slender body fell forward uncontrollably and she let out a panicked sound.
The person closest to her was Zhou Yuntang. Seeing his sister about to fall, he stepped forward and hugged Zhou Man. Zhou Man fell into his arms, clinging to her brother in fear. The hairpin in her hair pricked Zhou Yuntang, and the pain and the impact of his sister's fall made him step back several steps, slamming his body into the mahogany shelf behind him.
With a clang, the bottles on the mahogany shelf fell down. Zhou Yuntang reflexively hugged his sister in a protective posture. Several bottles hit Zhou Yuntang on the head, fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
The pain spread from the place where he was hit to other places. Zhou Yuntang felt a sticky liquid flowing out and the smell of blood surrounded him.
This sudden accident made everyone present freeze in their tracks. Zhou Liuan reacted immediately and shouted, "Doctor Shao! Come here quickly!"
For a wealthy family like the Zhou family, a family doctor is a must.
The Zhou family's servants also quickly cleaned up the debris around them.
Zhou Yuntang reached out and touched his forehead. His hands were covered in sticky red blood, and the smell made him feel uncomfortable. Zhou Man looked up and saw the blood on her brother's head. Tears fell from her eyes. "Brother, I'm sorry. You got hurt because you were trying to protect me."
If her brother hadn't protected her, she would have bumped into the shelf and been hit by something like that, and her face might have been disfigured. Thinking of this, Zhou Man felt guilty but also a little relieved. A girl's face is very important.
Doctor Shao came over quickly with a medical kit. He checked Zhou Yuntang's wound, cleaned it, and then bandaged it.
"Fortunately, the wound is not serious. It's just that it's best not to let the wound come into contact with water for the next week," said Dr. Shao.
Zhou Yuntang nodded, looked at his sister who was crying with tears in her eyes, and said distressedly: "Brother, this is just a minor injury, Manman, don't cry."
He was very happy that he was able to protect his sister.
Zhou Man was still sobbing and couldn't stop.
At this time, Zhou Yuntang's father, Zhou Liheng, came back and was shocked to see the mess at home. After learning the whole story, he praised Zhou Yuntang, "Yuntang is a responsible brother. You have protected your sister well."
Manman's crying reminded him of Tao Xiaran, which made him feel distressed. Fortunately, Manman was fine.
"Don't put bottles on this shelf anymore, it's too dangerous!" If Yun Tang hadn't acted quickly today, Manman would have been in trouble.
He had the remaining bottles on the shelf removed. After finishing this, he was about to talk to his two brothers-in-law when his eyes suddenly fell on Shi Miao. "Is this Shi Miao? Wen Ying and I have mentioned your name several times. You should treat us like your own family here. Don't be uncomfortable. If you need anything, tell Manman. You and Manman are of similar age, so you should get along well."
Shi Miao shouted, "Thank you, Uncle Zhou. Manman has an innocent personality and I like her very much." She still knew how to say polite words.
She had heard some things about Zhou Liheng from Wang Hui and Wen Yanshan, saying nothing more than that he was a self-disciplined, gentle man, a rare good man among the wealthy. However, Shi Miao looked at his face—wow, he had at least three mistresses outside! It was clear that this biological father was just a fame-seeker.
After Wen Yanshan waited until his cousin's wound was completely bandaged, he said angrily, "Brother, you shouldn't have rejected Sister Miaomiao's amulet. Sister Miaomiao warned you of the bloody disaster, but you didn't take it seriously. You didn't listen to Shi Miao's words, and now you're suffering."
Sister Miaomiao's kindness was wasted! My cousin was so sarcastic just now, did he think she didn't hear it? Didn't he think Sister Miaomiao was a charlatan?
That's good, you've learned your lesson, right? Although his cousin looked miserable now, Wen Yanshan couldn't really feel any sympathy for him.
Zhou Yuntang's face instantly turned purple. He had been planning to laugh at Shi Miao's so-called face-reading skills, but he was slapped in the face so quickly!
