Chapter 333: Chapter 229: True Colors

"The luggage has already been taken out!" Zhao Qiyan, still ignorant, added another sentence. At this moment, she only felt that making those who looked down on her suffer was the most delightful thing.

Zhou Mikang must have real ability to shut down the Zhou family’s door like that. With such a person backing her, what did she have to worry about in the future? She could even envision herself becoming influential in the city and returning to her hometown to be fawned over.

Xiao Yuwen scanned the crowd with a sullen face and ordered several of his men, "Go look again, return their luggage to them, and the car must be driven back." Then he looked at the people with a sneer disguised as a smile, "It’s not that I want to make things difficult for you, but there are rules from above that I can’t break. If you want to blame someone, blame the Zhou family."

The Zhou family must have known about their own scandal that was about to be revealed, right? Why else would they be so eager to bring a wife into the family? Think about it...

"Xiao Yuwen, don’t take things too far!" Zhou Hanliang, who appeared out of nowhere, was mockingly ridiculed by Xiao Yuwen with a laugh, "Oh, where did you scurry off to hide just now? And now you grudgingly show up?"

Of course, Zhou Hanliang was furious at being humiliated by a scoundrel, but in order to send everyone home as soon as possible, he still spoke politely, "Xiao Yuwen, you’re after all a son-in-law of the Zhou family. Even for the sake of your own reputation, you can’t be too extreme, right?"

"We in the Xiao family always separate public from private affairs. I can’t just turn a blind eye to the Zhou family because I married their daughter. Zhou Hanliang, you can send everyone away, but the car must stay. Otherwise, I’d have trouble explaining myself. You don’t want this investigation to drag you down too, do you?"

"Where’s my luggage?" Zhao Qiyan stepped forward and stared at Zhou Hanliang.

Looking at that brazenly shameless round face, Zhou Hanliang really wanted to smash it to smithereens with a punch!

Xiao Yuwen was well aware of his relationship with Zhou Mikang. His avoidance was an attempt not to provoke, but he hadn’t expected this woman to mess everything up!

Although the Xiao family were in-laws of the Zhou family, they were political adversaries. Given the chance, wouldn’t they take every opportunity to suppress the Zhou family?

Xiao Yuwen was a vindictive person, and the reason why he had lost face at the Zhou family the last time was because of Lin Chuxia. Now, why would he let the Lin family members have it easy? Plus, being able to humiliate the Zhou family members in front of the Lin family would probably be the most satisfying thing for him!

Feeling Zhou Hanliang’s glare, Zhao Qiyan involuntarily swallowed hard: "My... My change of clothes are all in the luggage."

At this point, the stance couldn’t be changed. Lin Xiaohua, supporting her daughter, said, "Instructor Zhou, everyone wants to live a good life. If Lin Chuxia hadn’t wanted to live a good life, she wouldn’t have married into the Zhou family. So, if we, mother and daughter, want to live a good life, we can’t be said to be wrong. We don’t have a penny on us; you surely can’t expect us to just stay here."

"Little Instructor Zhou, it would be the same if we take a train to leave," Old Master Zhao said, seeing the difficult position Zhou Hanliang was in. As for his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, he couldn’t even bother to glance at them.

If for personal gain one could put an entire family through hell, if he let them enter Zhao’s house again, he might as well not carry the Zhao name!

If his second son couldn’t bear to leave them, then let him leave with them. Anyway, he never wanted to see them again in his lifetime.

"Alright, I’ll go with you to buy tickets in a bit." There was no other choice at this point; if they kept arguing here, there would be no end. Zhou Hanliang led the way towards the parking area, "Everyone follow me to get your luggage."

The car didn’t belong to Zhou Hanliang personally. If he were to drive it away forcibly, only the Zhou family and Xu Zhenghong would suffer the consequences. Sometimes retreating opens up the vast sea and sky, so he stepped back.

This was also the reason he had been able to work with Zhou Mikang over the years, blending firmness with softness, invincible in every direction.

"If I were you, Zhou Hanliang, I’d find a hole to crawl into. Zhou Mikang probably asked you to send them back, right? And what did you do? First, you hid, and now you’re acting so cowardly, tsk tsk tsk..."

Zhou Hanliang completely ignored Xiao Yuwen’s taunts.

If Chuxia were here, she’d surely wonder why no one spoke up in the face of such verbal provocations by Xiao Yuwen.

To put it plainly, it’s a hangover from a past era. Even Zhang Xiaoqing, who was fearless, knew now was the time to endure, to keep the peace.

In reality, everyone was seething with anger, but what could they do? If they dared to talk back or take action, it would play right into the opponent’s hands, leading to their own arrest. Then the Zhou family members, already unable to handle their own affairs, would have to worry about them, making the situation even more chaotic.
