Chapter 176 underestimated the value of that "husband" address.
The boy's clear, youthful voice held a hint of embarrassment and struggle; though unwilling, he obediently cried out.
They underestimated it!
Zhou Chong realized he had greatly underestimated the value of that "husband" title!
Oh no!
This is going to kill Zhou Chong!
Zhou Chong even wanted to travel back in time and punch the version of himself who had just made the suggestion to death!
Is this a charm attack you can resist?
After all these years, don't you have any self-awareness?
They think too highly of themselves!
He clearly dug a pit for Qingshan Xiaobao, jumped in himself, and was even beaten to death at the bottom of the pit by his own iron fist!
"What if I change my mind..."
"I will get angry."
Zhou Chong's mask of pain.
Between angering Qingshan Xiaobao and enduring it for one night, then kicking Youliang out the next day and running wild, he chose the latter.
I admit it!
Zhou Chong cupped Shan Qingshan's face in his hands and kissed him several times like a woodpecker.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
When Zhou Chong returned, Shan Qingshan lay down and pretended to be asleep, clearly not wanting to face the situation.
Zhou Chong didn't expose him, but affectionately pulled him into his arms, kissed him on the cheek, and sighed happily, "Wife~"
Dan Qingshan's ears burned, and he buried his head in his arms.
Zhou Chong chuckled softly, kissed the top of his head in that position, and then held him contentedly as they fell asleep.
The next day at breakfast, You Liang innocently dropped a bomb on the ground.
"Brother, what were you guys doing last night? You made such a racket."
Shan Qingshan choked on the soy milk.
Zhou Chong almost burst out laughing, but Shan Qingshan glared at him, causing him to withdraw his smile.
Yu Liang: ?
He heard some noise last night, but he was sure it wasn't *that* kind of noise.
That's why I asked.
"You two had a fight? Could it be because of yesterday's party?"
Zhou Chong raised an eyebrow. "You've heard?"
"Um."
The business world is only so big.
People love to watch a spectacle.
The Shi family's tea factory has become a hot topic even before it has attracted investors.
Everyone knows it's a trap.
You Liang looked at Shan Qingshan, "I heard that not only Uncle Zhou, but also Mr. Yu is protecting you?"
Zhou Chong said smugly, "Xiao Bao is so good, who wouldn't like him? My grandfather isn't stupid either. But with my grandfather's move, the original score of 0.9 was directly reversed to 9.0."
"If you weren't arguing, what were you doing?"
"You're just joking around, flirting, don't you know? Have you finished reviewing the reports? Finished your homework? Memorized all the key points?"
"……"No.
Zhou Chong spread peanut butter on the bread, looking particularly serious, tall, calm, and experienced. He seemed very reassuring and bossy as he lectured You Liang.
"If you don't seize the opportunity to stand up now, you won't know how to get money from people who come to you with a bag full of money later."
But in reality, thinking about last night, this person started to feel cocky again, looking at Shan Qingshan with a meaningful look, and with a wicked smile, placed the bread spread with peanut butter on Shan Qingshan's plate.
Shan Qingshan pretended not to see it.
Zhou Chong: "I received a message from your older brother this morning."
Fake.
Zhou Chong: "I'm asking when you're going back."
Fake.
But You Liang sat up straight instantly.
Zhou Chong: "He told you to go home today."
Fake.
But they all believed it.
You Liang wore a bitter expression, but after a moment he comforted himself, thinking that he had now learned something and would not bring shame to the You family. The project he had worked on recently had also made money.
He's eighteen already, and his brother hasn't hit him in three years.
Today, it's likely, probably, perhaps, most likely, that no action will be taken.
The next second, the attempt to comfort him failed.
You Liang turned to Shan Qingshan and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you think my brother is unhappy about me dating?"
"He didn't say anything, don't scare yourself."
You Liang calmed down a little.
Zhou Chong's phone vibrated at that moment.
He picked it up.
It was a message sent by the spy he had planted.
As Zhou Chong unlocked the device, he said, "When Lu Lu comes back, take her and your brother out for a meal. Whether she lives or dies—"
The words came to an abrupt halt.
Shan Qingshan turned to look at Zhou Chong, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Chong glanced at Shan Qingshan, then slowly shifted his gaze to You Liang's face.
Zhou Chong's voice had changed; it was heavy and serious.
"You Liang, there's something I need to tell you beforehand. I've arranged for someone to secretly protect Lu Lu and accompany her back to her hometown."
"Has something happened to Lu Lu?"
Zhou Chong pushed the phone over.
“The people I arranged found out that the place where the Lu family’s old house is located has been a place where a mountain god was worshipped for a long time. There have been mountain guardians for generations. It is said that because they have guarded the mountain for generations, they have been blessed by the god and therefore live longer and healthier than ordinary people. One of the Lu family’s ancestors lost several children in a row. He prayed there and was able to have a son in his old age. After that, this place became the Lu family’s old house and was worshipped by the Lu family.”
You Liang asked, puzzled, "So?"
"I was curious before, the Lu family is unique in the circle, and the girls in the family are even more distinguished. I never understood it, but now I understand."
Zhou Chong swiped his phone; several photos were displayed behind him.
"According to the Lu family rules, women must marry the mountain guardian and bear children in order to receive the blessings of the gods and benefit the Lu family."
You Liang stood up abruptly.
My mind went completely blank.
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Dan Qingshan's expression was solemn, and his hand on the table slowly clenched into a fist.
"This is feudal superstition."
Zhou Chong: "It's still arranged marriage."
Yu Liang's blank mind suddenly cleared up.
"Why? This is clearly sacrificing those girls! No way! I have to save Lu Lu!"
Zhou Chong grabbed him, "Calm down. That's Lu family territory. Rushing over there won't do you any good. Do you think you can find her in these deep mountains and forests? Even if you do find her, do you have the Lu family's familiarity with the terrain? Can you get her out? Most importantly, do you know what Lu Lu is thinking?"
You Liang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"I know! She was saying she liked me just two days ago! She definitely didn't know about this! They must have done it secretly! Bro! You really believe something like this?"
"I don't believe it!"
The Lu family has lost money on every single business they were supposed to in the past few years.
The more delicious the food, the more they like to add something bizarre.
You Liang pleaded in a low voice, "Save her."
"Save them, we must save them."
Brother saved not only Lu Lu, but also you!
Shan Qingshan's voice was cold and deep, "Starting with the Lu family should be the fastest way."
The mountain was bought by the Lu family, the people were brought there by the Lu family, and the rules were set by the Lu family.
To save them, contact the Lu family.
You Liang was on the verge of tears, "Is it too late?"
Zhou Chong: "I can bankrupt the Lu family in a day. I'll take you there right now."
-
When Lu Zhilin received an internal call from his secretary and heard that it was the young master of the Zhou family looking for him, he was so shocked that he stood up from his chair.
The Zhou family's wealth is far beyond what the Lu family can compare to!
Even a single hair on the Zhou family's leg is enough to feed the Lu family for a whole year!
The mountain god is indeed efficacious!
We had just sent Lu Lu there when the young master of the Zhou family showed up!
Lu Zhilin rubbed his hands together excitedly.
It seems that the Mountain God is very satisfied with Lu Lu.
We need to make Lu Lu have more children.
"Quickly! Let them in! To the conference room, serve them some tea!"
The secretary made the arrangements immediately.
Lu Zhilin tidied his appearance and made sure there was nothing wrong with it before walking towards the conference room.
I pushed open the door and was surprised to see three people.
He knew all three of them.
Needless to say, the eldest son of the Zhou family is standing next to Shan Qingshan, a rising star who has recently gained prominence, and You Liang, the young master of the You family.
Zhou Chong's expression was stern, and his gaze held considerable weight.
The oppressive and aggressive atmosphere made Lu Zhilin, who was in his forties, feel a chill run down his spine. He sensed something was wrong and immediately put on a fawning smile.
"Young Master Zhou, this is..."
"Let's get straight to the point. Where is my brother You Liang's girlfriend, Lu Lu?"
-
Deep in the mountains and dense forests.
The housekeeper, who had taken care of Lu Lu for many years, knocked on Lu Lu's door.
"Miss, breakfast has been prepared for you. Would you like to eat inside or outside?"
Lu Lu glanced at her phone, which had little signal, and tossed it aside. "It's too hot outside, let's stay indoors."
The butler nodded, stepped back, and instructed someone to place breakfast on the table inside the room.
Lu Lu sat at the dining table, looking at the rolling mountains outside.
"Uncle Wang, how did Great-Grandpa find this place?"
"I'm not sure."
Lu Lu gave a soft hum.
From a young age, her grandfather told her stories about the mountain god, saying that the mountain god would bless the area, protect the Lu family, and ensure their health and prosperity.
In order to ask the mountain god to continue to bless the Lu family, the girls of the Lu family must come to the mountain to have a coming-of-age ceremony on their nineteenth birthday.
Feudal superstition!
She didn't see the family business consistently making money; it kept losing money.
Lu Lu picked up the chopsticks on the table and saw someone passing by in front of the house, looking at her with an indescribable...
Obscene.
