After the contract was established, Shi Miao let the old man go.
Since there is a contract, I don’t think he would dare to violate it.
The old man ran very fast, fearing that Miao would change his mind if he slowed down.
After a while, her cell phone rang.
Shi Miao answered the phone, "Okay, I understand. I don't have classes that afternoon, I'll be there."
It was her mother who called her, saying that Aunt Rou and her family were planning to treat them to a meal. Shi Miao had nothing else to do at the time, so she agreed immediately.
…
"You seem to be in a good mood today." Wen Ying looked at her daughter with a smile.
Shi Miao pursed her lips and smiled. "I'm really looking forward to meeting the legendary Aunt Rou today." The real reason was that the old man had delivered the compensation materials, and last night she had successfully refined two spiritual weapons. It could be said that this period of time had yielded a lot of rewards.
As expected, he got rich by robbing other gangs!
Wen Ying has been in a good mood lately. She heard that her ex-husband Zhou Liheng has been in even worse trouble lately, with several orders at the company having problems.
He even called her a couple of days ago and asked if she wanted to buy shares in the company, and was willing to sell her some at a price below the market price.
Wen Ying refused directly. She knew with her knees that Zhou Liheng must have thought that if she bought the shares, they would be left to his son sooner or later, and the Zhou family would not suffer any loss.
She wasn't stupid enough to do someone else's bidding. Whoever wanted those two sons could take them away. She would leave all her property to Miaomiao and wouldn't let two ungrateful people get away with it.
After Wen Ying hung up the phone, she deliberately spread rumors within her circle about Zhou Liheng's financial difficulties. The outside world didn't know Zhou Liheng was short of money, nor was the company in trouble. Previously, they had looked up to him because Zhou's company had secured a multi-billion dollar order. Now that the truth was known, many took advantage of the situation, reportedly causing Zhou Liheng to suffer from high blood pressure and be hospitalized again.
This time, the dinner was mainly for Wen Ying, Shi Miao, and the Qin family. It was just a private gathering; the Qin family planned to hold a banquet later to officially announce their return.
When Shi Miao and Wen Ying arrived, Chen Rou, Qin Dongliang and Qin Xialan were all there, except for Chen Rou's son Qin Nanyu.
When Shen Rou saw Shi Miao, her eyes lit up and she praised him, "Miao Miao is prettier than you were when you were young." Although she had seen Shi Miao in photos, she was nowhere near as lively and charming in person. Shen Rou hoped her son would be more impressive and catch Miao Miao's eye. If she had a daughter-in-law like him, she would eat two more bowls of rice every day just to see her face.
For Wen Ying, praising Shi Miao was more gratifying than praising herself. She smiled and said, "Miao Miao looks more like my mother." With such looks, fortunately Miao Miao has her own strengths and the protection of the Wen family, otherwise who knows how much trouble she would have caused.
Wen Ying praised Chen Rou's daughter, Qin Xialan, and the two of them praised each other, and the unfamiliarity of not seeing each other for many years faded a lot. Wen Ying also learned that Chen Rou's son, Qin Nanyu, had successfully become a disciple of the surgical expert Jia He.
"This child was so quiet, yet he gave us such a big surprise." Shen Rou didn't have high expectations for her son, as long as he was healthy and had good character. As a parent, it was natural to be overjoyed to see their child succeed. The reason Qin Nanyu came late was because his teacher gave him a video lecture.
By the time Qin Nanyu arrived, it was almost twelve o'clock, and half of the dishes had already been served. His arm was bandaged, the white bandage oozing blood, clearly injured, but he seemed in a good mood, his eyes and eyebrows showing an unconcealable joy, and a flicker of tenderness from time to time.
Shen Rou was startled, "Nan Yu, how are you injured? I'll ask Doctor Zhang to come over and take a look at you now."
Qin Nanyu originally wanted to say that it was just a minor injury, but changed his mind as soon as the words came to his mouth, "Mom, my situation is really quite dangerous this time. If it weren't for Miss Zhou, you might not be able to see me today."
Shen Rou's face changed drastically after hearing these words, "What happened?"
Qin Nanyu said, "When I was leaving, I saw some beautiful flowers in a flower shop I passed by, and they were very elegantly arranged. I thought of buying a bouquet for Aunt Wen. Then I heard someone crying for help in the alley, so I rushed over and stopped two men from assaulting a young woman. I didn't expect the two men to have knives on them, and they stabbed me instead. If Miss Zhou hadn't passed by and asked the bodyguards to help, I'm afraid I would have been hurt even more."
Qin Nanyu's words were half-truths. Although he hadn't returned to China in recent years, he had established his own power within the country through various means. Because he, the leader, had been reluctant to show his face, his subordinates were restless, and some even harbored thoughts of betrayal.
Qin Nanyu took the opportunity to eliminate these unstable factors today, but he almost failed and was stabbed by a traitor.
And at this time, he met his Miss White Dove.
He clearly exuded the aura of a dark world and was covered in blood, making any normal person avoid him. His White Dove lady was clearly terrified, but she still mustered up the courage to buy him bandages and iodine, bandage his wounds, and prepare new clothes for him.
Qin Nanyu's mind unconsciously emerged Zhou Man's eyes that were always misty.
At that time, he was unbridled and exuded a dangerous aura, no longer wearing his usual mask. "Aren't you afraid that I will completely eliminate you and kill you?"
The corners of Zhou Man's eyes were red, and that touch of red made her pure aura blend with a sense of charm. This contradictory beauty made his heart itchy.
Her voice was clearly filled with fear but firm. "I'm afraid. But I'm even more afraid of killing someone by not helping them. I can't bear to watch a life slip away in front of me."
Even when he deliberately frightened her and put a dagger to her neck, she never changed her mind.
Qin Nanyu had never met such a simple and foolish person. So foolish that he felt emotions he couldn't even explain. Even his loving parents would likely treat him differently if he revealed his true self. Zhou Man, a stranger he'd just met for the first time, trusted him wholeheartedly and didn't want to hurt him. She was so special!
