Chapter 1165: Chapter 1167: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Today at noon, Zhou Xianzhi not only got scolded but also had some water splashed on her in the courtyard. Splashing water wasn’t strange, but the water had a weird smell, and she immediately looked at the person splashing the foot-washing water.

It was Chen Lingyun, the Butler’s granddaughter. The two girls were of the same age, and thus Chen Lingyun was often compared with Zhou Xianzhi. However, Chen Lingyun’s grandmother was plain-looking, and so were her parents and grandmother, nowhere near as attractive as Zhou Xianzhi’s mother, who had been a leading beauty, so naturally, in terms of appearance, she couldn’t compare. Besides, Zhou Xianzhi was superior to Chen Lingyun in everything except for her mother’s bad reputation.

So Zhou Xianzhi was splashed with foot-washing water by Chen Lingyun, and the two girls immediately started arguing. Chen Lingyun knew how to manipulate public opinion, and every time they argued, she would bring up Zhou Xianzhi’s mother: "I splashed you because you were born from a whore!"

This "born from a whore" label was perpetually stuck to Zhou Xianzhi, an eternal disgrace, and it brought her to tears. She was about to turn around and leave the courtyard when Long Aixi appeared.

Long Aixi was the son of the gang leader, known for his sense of justice. Seeing Zhou Xianzhi drenched during the burning heat, when people generally wore little, and Zhou Xianzhi was in a silk garment that lightly outlined her undergarment once wet.

Long Aixi stopped Chen Lingyun, who was somewhat nervous.

Long Aixi had his men take off the thin cloak from outside and draped it over Zhou Xianzhi, then he looked at Chen Lingyun, "Why did you splash her with foot-washing water?"

"To Young Master, her, her mother is a whore," Chen Lingyun pointed at Zhou Xianzhi and said.

"But she is not!" Long Aixi knew what was right and wrong. He looked at Chen Lingyun again: "Within our Headquarter, I do not allow our own to bully anyone. Xianzhi is the daughter of Hall Master Zhou, which makes her one of us, all under the same roof. What’s there to be arrogant about? Besides, since her birth, has she ever done anything bad? You all bully her every time; is that fair? I don’t want to see this kind of thing again. If it happens again, I will have you and these unreasonable people expelled!"

Chen Lingyun didn’t dare to talk back to Long Aixi. She quickly apologized to Zhou Xianzhi and then fled with two other girls.

Now Zhou Xianzhi, with her eyes glistening, looked at Long Aixi, deeply moved: "Thank you, Young Master!"

Long Aixi stood in front of Zhou Xianzhi, and though he was a year younger, he was much taller than her. He looked at her: "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me!"

"Yes," Zhou Xianzhi gratefully looked at Long Aixi, who quickly turned and walked away.

...

When Long Aixi returned to his room, he first took off his coat, then took the towel handed over by the maid, wiped his sweat, and changed into clean clothes.

"Where are my parents?" Long Aixi asked the maid.

The maid said, "They are meeting guests in the front hall. Young Master, would you like to go there?"

"No, not now," after a pause, Long Aixi asked the maid again: "By the way, what’s the date today?"

Today? It’s almost the 30th."

Long Aixi’s handsome face broke into a rare smile: "Then get me some paper and a pen quickly."

"Yes, Young Master."

...

In the afternoon, under Xia Dabao’s energetic exhortations, the two baskets of lychees were finally sold out. She excitedly packed up her basket and then turned to Tian Xiaobei, "Quick, check how much money we collected?"
