NOVEL NEXT Chapter 99: Come to cause trouble
When Zhou Qingxuan heard the news, her tense face instantly relaxed, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised. The suffocation that had been weighing on her heart finally dissipated a lot.
A trace of joy flashed in her bright eyes, as if the gloom in her heart had been swept away.
When Shen Lang saw Zhou Qingxuan's subtle change, he was curious and couldn't help but ask: "Qingxuan, I see you are in a good mood. Why is that? Tell me quickly."
Zhou Qingxuan rolled her eyes at Shen Lang and said coquettishly, "Humph, I won't tell you. You can guess it yourself."
After saying that, he turned away and pretended to ignore Shen Lang.
Shen Lang rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Is it because you heard that Zhou Kai was beaten, so you felt happy? I guess, Zhou Kai always behaves randomly and uses the power of the Zhou family to bully You have long disliked him for being weak and domineering, right? "
Zhou Qingxuan's face turned slightly red and she said angrily: "As smart as you are, Zhou Kai has always been arrogant, domineering, lawless, and has done countless bad things. Now that he has received retribution, shouldn't he be happy? When I think of his unruly behavior before, Looking at his miserable appearance now, I feel relieved."
Shen Lang nodded and said with deep approval: "Yes, that guy is indeed annoying. He shows off his power all day long, and I don't know how many people he offended. But you, all these little thoughts are written on your face, with just one glance I saw through it.”
Zhou Qingxuan lightly punched Shen Lang and said, "You are not allowed to make fun of me. I am just happy, what's the matter? Who allowed him to do so many evil things."
The next day, as soon as the morning sun shone in front of Xuantian Sect's mountain gate, Old Mrs. Zhou barged in aggressively, shouting loudly and with an angry look on her face.
When everyone heard the commotion, they gathered around.
They tried to appease Old Mrs. Zhou, but Old Mrs. Zhou didn't appreciate it at all. She turned a deaf ear to everyone's persuasion and kept losing her temper.
She changed her previous friendly attitude towards Zhou Qingxuan and accused Zhou Qingxuan of various things.
"Zhou Qingxuan, this ungrateful girl, has caused misery to our Zhou family!" Mrs. Zhou's sharp voice echoed in the air.
Afterwards, Mrs. Zhou went straight to Zhou Qingxuan's room.
As soon as he entered the door, he pointed at Zhou Qingxuan's nose and said viciously: "Zhou Qingxuan, even if your leg is broken today, you still have to crawl to An's house to sign the spirit mine contract! Our Zhou family has paid so much for you, It's time for you to give back!"
Zhou Qingxuan looked at the unreasonable old Mrs. Zhou in front of her, her heart full of grievances and helplessness, and said: "Grandma, the An family is obviously not well-meaning, why do you insist on me going?"
Old Mrs. Zhou didn't listen at all and continued to roar: "Don't tell me these useless things, you have to go today, otherwise you won't recognize me as your grandmother!"
Zhou Qingxuan's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, and she said in a trembling voice: "Grandma, I can't believe these are what you said! How can you force me like this?"
Tears welled up in her eyes. She never imagined that her grandmother would say such heartless words.
Seeing Zhou Qingxuan's reaction, Mrs. Zhou felt a little unbearable in her heart, but thinking of the Zhou family's situation, she still hardened her heart and said coldly: "Huh, I can't help but you don't believe it. I've left the words here, you can see for yourself Let’s do it!”
After saying that, Mrs. Zhou turned around angrily and left the room without looking back.
Zhou Qingxuan looked at Old Mrs. Zhou's leaving back, her legs softened, and she sat slumped on the ground, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Shen Lang looked at Zhou Qingxuan's dejected look and could easily tell that she was full of disappointment in Mrs. Zhou.
However, to Shen Lang's surprise, Zhou Qingxuan decided to go to Anjia despite all her reluctance.
On the way to An's home, Zhou Qingxuan looked lonely and said nothing.
Shen Lang looked at her distressedly and gently comforted Zhou Qingxuan: "Qingxuan, don't be too sad. Things may turn around."
week They were all willing to do it, but they did this to me.”
Shen Lang stretched out his hand, patted Zhou Qingxuan's shoulder gently, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
After hearing Shen Lang's words, Zhou Qingxuan couldn't help but shed tears again. She leaned on Shen Lang's shoulder, sobbed and said gratefully: "Thank you."
Arriving at An's house, the scene in front of them was the same as yesterday. The mansion's gate was tall and majestic, the vermilion door shining solemnly in the sunlight, and the lintel was carved with exquisite patterns, highlighting the noble status of An's house.
There are pavilions and pavilions in the mansion, rockeries are everywhere, and paths are winding. The lotus flowers in the pond are blooming with pink petals, and the lotus leaves are swaying gently in the wind.
It's just that the atmosphere today is a little solemn,
The servants in the mansion lowered their heads and walked in a hurry, with a bit of caution on their faces.
However, the process of signing the contract was unexpectedly smooth.
Shen Lang excused himself to leave for a while and walked through the winding corridor to the study of Master An.
The study is located in a secluded part of the backyard, surrounded by green bamboos, and the breeze makes a rustling sound.
The door to the study room was closed tightly. Shen Lang gently knocked on the door and pushed it in after receiving the answer.
Master An is sitting behind the desk, playing with a warm jade pendant in his hand. The study room is filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, and the bookshelves are filled with ancient books and volumes.
Seeing Shen Lang coming in, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a slightly puzzled tone: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Shen Lang looked solemn, bowed his hands respectfully and said: "Senior An, although the contract has been signed, I hope you can support the future development of the Zhou family. I know that you are kind-hearted and will not sit idly by and watch the Zhou family's difficulties."
The head of the An family narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen Lang with scrutiny. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Why is it so? What does the Zhou family's affairs have to do with me?"
Shen Lang replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Senior An, Zhou Qingxuan has paid a lot for the Zhou family. She is kind-hearted. She is kind and responsible. If the Zhou family can get your support and let her handle related matters, it will not only reflect your generosity and kindness, but also make Zhou Qingxuan grateful to you. "
"In this way, the relationship between the two sides will be more stable, and future cooperation will surely be smoother. Moreover, supporting the Zhou family is not without benefits for the An family. In today's world, more friends are always better than more enemies. If the Zhou family can grow and develop with your help, it will also play a certain auxiliary role in the An family's industry. The Zhou family will be grateful to you and are willing to follow the An family's lead. "
