NOVEL NEXT Chapter 98 You Deserve It
When Zhou Qingxuan heard Mrs. Zhou's words, a glimmer of hope arose in her heart. She quickly said: "Grandma, we can definitely think of other ways to solve the family's predicament. We don't necessarily have to take this dangerous path."
Mrs. Zhou nodded slowly and said, "That's all, grandma won't force you anymore. Let's take a long-term discussion and see if we can find other ways to get through this difficulty."
Zhou Qingxuan laughed through her tears and said, "Grandma, it's great that you can think like this. I believe that as long as our family works together, we will definitely find a way out."
Mrs. Zhou was talking softly to Zhou Qingxuan just now, when suddenly she seemed to receive a message.
Her expression changed instantly, and she immediately hung up the call. Then she changed her tone and shouted outside: "Who's here, tell the An family that Zhou Qingxuan is unwell and can't go. Our Zhou family is willing to fully bear the responsibility." , They are all family members, so let them go in to discuss it. "
The news reached the An family. When An Sihai heard about it, he sneered and said, "Humph, the Zhou family really went back on their word this year. Do you think you can get away with it this way? How could I, An Sihai, let him go! This matter won't be settled that easily!"
Over at Zhou's house, Mrs. Zhou was pacing anxiously and kept mumbling: "What should we do? What should we do?"
On the other side, An Sihai said to his subordinates with a gloomy face: "Go and block the door of your house for me. I want to see how long they can last."
Soon, the An family's people came to the door aggressively and surrounded the door.
Everyone in the Zhou family was panicked when they saw this.
Mrs. Zhou pretended to be calm and said: "Don't panic, don't panic."
Shen Lang brought his fellow apprentices to An's house and saw a group of menacing people surrounding the door from a distance.
Shen Lang frowned slightly, stopped and said, "The front door is blocked, let's take the back door."
The brothers and sisters nodded and followed Shen Lang around to the back door of An's house.
The group cautiously entered An's house, walked through the courtyard, and came to the study.
The head of the An family was sitting behind the desk. When he saw Shen Lang and others coming in, there was a trace of surprise on his face, and he immediately asked: "Shen Lang, why did you come so low-key? With your identity and strength, you can come in through the front door openly. "
Shen Lang looked calm, raised his hands and said, "Senior An, I'm here just to solve the problem, not to show off. I keep a low profile because I don't want to make things too big. After all, it's better to do less than to do more."
Patriarch An narrowed his eyes, looked Shen Lang up and down, and said, "Huh, you can talk."
Shen Lang did not explain, but said firmly: "If it is not Zhou Qingxuan, the Zhou family will not be allowed to sign the contract. There is no room for negotiation on this matter."
Hearing this, An Sihai snorted coldly and said, "Humph, the old lady Zhou and the others haven't come to my An family yet, so I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle. The Zhou family is so ignorant of praise, and I, the An family, are not easy to bully. ”
Shen Lang was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Senior An, I admire you for being able to act like this and not let the Zhou family come in at will and stick to your principles. However, I hope you can consider this contract matter carefully and don't let it happen for a moment. Make wrong decisions out of anger.”
After saying that, Shen Lang turned around and walked out of An's house.
As expected, Mrs. Zhou and others had not left yet. When they saw Shen Lang coming out, they immediately surrounded him like a tide.
Mrs. Zhou's face was full of eagerness, her eyes were full of anxiety and expectation, and she asked in a trembling voice: "How did you get in? What did the An family say? What is going to happen with this contract? Our Zhou family has taken care of everything All hopes are pinned on this.”
Other members of the Zhou family were also talking about it: "Yes, tell us quickly. What is the attitude of the An family?"
"We've been waiting here for a long time, but to no avail. We're all so anxious."
Shen Lang ignored the two of them and walked forward expressionlessly.
When Zhou Kai saw Shen Lang ignoring them like this, he immediately became furious, his eyes widened, and he rushed forward with a quick stride.
He stretched out his hand and pulled Shen Lang's sleeve hard, and said viciously: "Shen Lang, what's your attitude? You're leaving without saying a word! Who do you think our Zhou family is?"
Shen Lang stopped and looked at Zhou Kai coldly, his eyes full of disdain, but he still said nothing.
Seeing Shen Lang's indifference, Zhou Kai's anger instantly reached its peak. He raised his fist and gritted his teeth and shouted: "Shen Lang, don't be too arrogant. I have to teach you a lesson today!"
At this moment, Shen Lang's fellow disciples reacted quickly, and several of them swarmed forward like lightning.
The senior brother turned sideways and firmly grasped Zhou Kai's fisting arm, while the second senior brother and third senior brother held his shoulders and back respectively, directly pressing Zhou Kai to the ground.
Zhou Kai struggled desperately, kicking his hands and feet constantly, and still cursing: "You bastards, let me go! I will fight with you!"
But how could his brothers listen to him? They struck without mercy, and their fists fell on him like raindrops.
Old Mrs. Zhou stood on the side and stamped her feet anxiously, shouting loudly: "Stop fighting, stop fighting! If you have something to say, please say it!"
She tried to pull her brothers away, but she was too old and weak to hold them back.
Mrs. Zhou's face was pale, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, her voice was trembling and sharp: "Oh, someone is going to die, stop it!"
But the brothers and sisters were so angry that they couldn't stop at all.
They beat and cursed at the same time: "Let you be arrogant and make you take action!"
Until Zhou Kai was beaten black and blue, unable to fight back, lying on the ground groaning and unable to move, he let go.
Shen Lang ignored the two and left, with a firm step and without looking back.
The fellow apprentices also followed him and left, walking away with Shen Lang.
Zhou Qingxuan heard others talking about the chaos that happened in front of the An family today, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "Did you do this?"
Shen Lang's face flashed a trace of unnaturalness, then pretended to smile bitterly, and hurriedly explained: "How could it be that I did it? It was Zhou Kai who offended the An family and was beaten by the An family. I was just passing by at the time."
Zhou Qingxuan stared at Shen Lang's eyes, as if trying to find some clues from it, and said after a moment: "So that's the case, it seems that I misunderstood."
Shen Lang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Qingxuan, you have to believe me, how could I take the initiative to cause trouble. Zhou Kai is usually arrogant and domineering. This time he offended the An family, and it was his own fault."
Zhou Qingxuan nodded gently and said: "Well, I believe you."
At this time, the eldest brother ran over excitedly.
"It was a mess today. Zhou Kai was beaten to a pulp, covered in wounds. After he was carried home, he rushed to find an alchemist to save his life. On my way back, I heard that the Zhou family was almost going crazy, looking for an alchemist with excellent medical skills everywhere!"
