Zhou Liuan had already decided on the person to take over the body, even if Ji Jingyao was the best. If he wanted to suppress the Wen family, he would have to become Ji Jingyao.
From being a big star with countless fans and a rich nobleman to being in a situation where everyone is calling for his downfall, Zhou Liuan has always been furious.
Although he initially wronged Shi Miao, that was because he was deceived by Zhou Man and his father. He later repented, but Shi Miao still held a grudge and refused to forgive him. His mother, uncle, and other relatives, seeking to curry favor with Shi Miao, abandoned him like a piece of trash. They didn't treat him as a family member, so it was only natural that he should be more considerate of himself.
Thinking of becoming Ji Jingyao and being able to call the shots in the circle again, Zhou Liu'an couldn't help but curl his lips. That man had exorcised the Gu from his body, restoring him to health. Furthermore, despite being seventy years old, he looked like a young man. With such abilities, possessing another's body wouldn't be a problem.
Zhou Yuntang caught a glimpse of the smile on his brother's face, and for some reason, he felt a chill run down his spine. Was it an illusion?
Zhou Yuntang and Zhou Liuan delivered the prepared gifts to the Wen family, but they still could not enter the Wen family's gate. Both they and the gifts were stopped.
Zhou Yuntang learned to retreat this time. "I don't want my uncle and the others to forgive me, but my cousin and I grew up together, and his daughter is also my niece."
He thought, even if he wasn't recognized at first, wouldn't the relationship gradually thaw as long as they interacted more?
The guard hesitated for a moment, then called Wang Hui in the house.
After a while, the butler came out.
Zhou Yuntang was disappointed when he saw that his uncle and his men had only sent the housekeeper to send them away, but he couldn't show it. "Grandpa Yang."
He saw that Grandpa Yang was holding two bags in his hands.
Housekeeper Yang smiled gently, "Madam said that living your life well is more important than anything else, so there's no need for gifts. You don't look as healthy as you used to be, so these herbs and supplements are just right for you to take back and replenish your bodies."
The implication is to refuse their gifts.
Zhou Yuntang had endured all sorts of hardships over the past year, and he was no longer as impulsive as he had been at the beginning. Although he wanted to throw the so-called tonic herbs back, as a sign that he wouldn't accept something given out of pity, considering that he was still renting, he forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern, aunt."
Zhou Liuan just looked at Butler Yang coldly. When he took over Ji Jingyao's body, he would definitely make this damn old man pay the price.
He found his gift in the bag. He picked it up, but left the supplements in the bag untouched. He turned and walked away. He looked down on this thing.
Zhou Yuntang called him a few times, but he didn't turn around, so he took his share with him. After all, he had experienced hardship, and now he knew how to live.
He flipped through the contents and caught up with his brother, "If we sell these medicinal supplements, we can get two hundred thousand."
Zhou Liuan sneered, "Two hundred thousand yuan wasn't even enough to buy us a piece of clothing before. Auntie is treating us like beggars."
"Do you know that Mom has given all her assets to Shi Miao? She is so cruel. We are her children too, and she won't give us a chance to come back."
After their father, Zhou Liheng, passed away without a will, the estate was originally intended to be inherited by the Zhou Liuan brothers. However, their company had caused significant damage, resulting in fines exceeding hundreds of millions of yuan. Combined with a severed funding chain, the company went bankrupt. Not only were all the remaining properties foreclosed, but they also owed a considerable amount of money. If Zhou Liuan and his family inherited the estate, they would also inherit the debts, so they had no choice but to relinquish it.
Zhou Yuntang also thought so, but he had to bow his head under the eaves. He said, "Wait a few more years, maybe it will be fine."
Seeing that he couldn't deliver the gift on his own, Zhou Liuan turned to ask someone else for help.
The man gave him a piece of blood jade of exceptional quality. When placed in the sunlight, it was so bright red that it seemed as if it could drip blood.
Mr. Zhang, the man he had asked to help, was thinking about what gift to give. When he saw this fine blood jade, he couldn't take his eyes off it. This was the first time he had seen blood jade of such high quality.
"Do you really want to send it in my name?"
Zhou Liuan showed a melancholy expression. "My cousin and I grew up together, just like brothers. I don't plan to get married in this lifetime, so his daughter is mine. But my uncles are still angry with me and refused to accept the gift. I really don't want to have any regrets."
He still harbored malice in his heart. The man had told him to do everything he could to deliver this thing, which would surely harm the Wen family. He was happy that he could teach the Wen family a lesson.
Mr. Zhang nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll deliver this gift."
If the Wen family asked, he would tell the truth. In the eyes of Mr. Zhang and most other people in the industry, even though the Wen family publicly announced they had severed ties with Zhou Liuan and Zhou Yuntang, they were still blood relatives, and they didn't believe they would remain forever entangled. If they reconciled, he, as the intermediary, would surely benefit and gain the Wen family's friendship.
For people like Chen Rou, the road to starting a business in China was much easier because of their good relationship with Wen Ying.
Mr. Zhang put Zhou Liuan's gift into his own gifts and had someone deliver it.
…
By the time Wen Xiuyan's daughter's full-month ceremony came, Shi Miao rushed back from school. By then, most of the guests had arrived. Ji Jingyao seemed unwell and only brought a gift, but didn't show up in person. Instead, someone from Xuanlou arrived.
Shi Miao's aunt Du Shuangyu initially wanted to invite only a small number of close relatives and friends, but she thought that her daughter-in-law would not hold the wedding until the end of the year. If the full-month ceremony was not grand, she was afraid that people would look down on her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
