he blades and backed away immediately. After all, they were ordinary people, and a knife still held considerable power over them.He took several deep breaths, forcing down his fear, and suggested, "I'...An hour later, Zhou Qi's car stopped at the entrance of a manor house.
Wang Lin got out of the car and looked at the imposing gate. He was amazed. He had only seen it on TV before, and he never thought he would have the opportunity to live in this magnificent building in his lifetime.
On either side of the villa's entrance, two rows of burly men in black suits and sunglasses stood under the stone pillars. Well, that's pretty gangster, isn't it
Wang Lin turned his head in confusion and looked at Zhou Qi, "Aren't they afraid of the police coming to monitor them This looks like a triad gathering!"
"Zhou Qi chuckled disdainfully, a smug look on his face. 'Police We haven't done anything wrong. Besides, this estate belongs to the Zhou family. It's our own home, they can't dictate what we do here.'"
"Well, this is our own house. But those two rows at the door, I reckon anyone who sees them won't dare cause trouble."
"Haha, you probably don't know, brother. All big families value face above all else, and the family gate often represents their face. It has to be grand."
"I see, little brother understands."
"Let's go! Let's go inside!"
As he spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the door. Wang Lin followed closely behind. Just as they reached the door, a piercing sound rang out.
"Oh, I thought it was someone else Isn't this the biggest good-for-nothing in my Zhou family"
Wang Lin turned his head and saw a woman with powder on her face, deep-set eyes, and a thin figure embracing a beautiful and lovely girl walking towards him step by step.
This person doesn't look like a good guy at all. He looks like a dandy who's been corrupted by alcohol, sex, and money. It makes me feel disgusted.
That effeminate and ambiguous fellow looked at Zhou Qi, but he seemed to hear nothing, continuing to walk forward. Wang Lin, however, saw his body tremble slightly.
"Is Zhou Qi afraid of this person"
Zhou Qi seemed to sense Wang Lin's thoughts, turned his head and said softly, "Come on, let's go in first. Don't mind that person."
Wang Lin nodded and followed closely behind.
"Trash! You dare to ignore me! Who gave you the guts!"
Seeing Zhou Qi not stopping at all, not even reacting, the effeminate man became enraged and angrily shouted, “Stop! Did you hear me!”
Zhou Qi suddenly stopped, took a few deep breaths, and then slowly turned around. When he saw the effeminate man, his eyes widened in surprise, and a wide smile spread across his face.
"It's Brother Rong, is there anything wrong I was just thinking about something earlier and didn't see you arrive. Sorry!"
He put on a fawning face, which made Wang Lin wrinkle his brow and shift away with some disgust.
Zhou Qi also noticed this, feeling helpless in his heart. He had been at the bottom of the family martial arts competition for several times in a row, having no status within the family. His situation was very difficult.
At this moment, he would rather be looked down upon by Wang Lin than to appease the effeminate man in front of him first. Otherwise, he might not even be able to enter the manor today.
When the effeminate man heard Zhou Qi's words, he also let out a cold snort and waved his hand with disdain on his face. "Hmph, didn't you hear Are you deaf Did you see how I should be acting You, have you forgotten"
"Never forget, never forget! I dare not forget Brother Rong's rules!"
Saying that, he bent down and respectfully took out a bank card from his pocket. He held it in both hands and offered it to Zhou Rong as if making a sacrifice.
"That's better," Zhou Rong showed a satisfied smile, picked up the bank card, and handed it to the beautiful woman beside him.
"Here you go, trash. This little bit of money is nothing to me." He looked down at Zhou Qi with disgust after finishing his sentence.
"Thank you, dear. I love you the most! Mua!" The beautiful woman received the bank card with surprise and kissed Zhou Rong's face with her tiptoes.
"Haha, the baby likes it, that's all that matters. As for this trash, I don't think much of it!"
"This is the foreign aid you found this year Hehe, a kid who hasn't even dried his milk, how strong can he be It's hard for you too, having to help out with trash, haha, trash helping trash!"
Wang Lin was just about to step forward to confront Zhou Rong, when Zhou Qi immediately stopped him. He pleaded with Wang Lin not to act rashly. Wang Lin was helpless; he had only come to help and couldn't ruin his employer's business. He could only give up.
Zhou Rong finished speaking and walked directly past Zhou Qi, heading into the depths of the estate. As he passed Zhou Qi, he deliberately spat on the side, his disdain unmistakable.
Zhou Qi was so angry his whole body trembled, his fists clenched tightly, and his bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at Zhou Rong's back.
"Watch this, I'm going to get a good ranking this time and finally get rid of that "loser" label."
"Let's go."
His tone returned to flat, as if devoid of any emotion.
Upon entering the estate, Wang Lin was astounded. He looked around in amazement, like a country bumpkin seeing a city for the first time, completely overwhelmed by everything he saw. This made Zhou Qi shake his head in exasperation.
From time to time passersby would laugh at them, but neither Wang Lin nor the other person responded, still doing as they pleased.
Upon arriving at the guest room, Zhou Qi invited Wang Lin to sit down and picked up a dessert from the table, putting it in his mouth.
"Taste it, it's my favorite food since I was little."
Wang Lin silently picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. Immediately, his eyes lit up "Delicious!"
Seeing Wang Lin's appearance, Zhou Qi burst into laughter, as if he had found a kindred spirit.
"Haha, eat more if you like it. Not many people like this flavor. I also didn't have enough to eat when I was young, so I could only eat these desserts. Slowly, I started to like them. They remind me all the time how hard it is to live now."
"I didn't expect that you had such a hard time even when you were little, within such a big family."
Every family has its own difficulties, and large families are no exception. While it's great to have a big family, the competition within can be intense, and most people wouldn't be able to handle it.
"So you've been enduring things at home from a young age, and you're still enduring them now"
Of course, without the power and resources, you have no right to be forceful. However, maybe this year, I will become the biggest winner. It all depends on you, little brother.
"I'll do my best, don't worry!"
"Well, thank you very much. You eat first, I'll go out and find out if there are any changes to the rules this year."
"Good"
Zhou Qi left, Wang Lin spat out the sweets in his mouth, it was too sweet. If Zhou Qi didn't leave, he estimated that he would directly spit on Zhou Qi's face.
Wang Lin sighed silently in his heart, "Alas, they are all unfortunate people. Perhaps you carry too much pain, too much torment, your heart has long lost its light. To this day, you still insist on pursuing your ambitions, for what Just for revenge"
He didn't think much about it, took a sip of water, and began practicing Tai Chi in front of the table.
Half an hour later, Zhou Qi pushed the door open and quickly turned around after entering, carefully closing the door.
Wang Lin looked at this scene, curious in his heart, "What's going on Why is it like a thief in his own home"
Zhou Qi saw Wang Lin's gaze and awkwardly smiled. "There are a few people chasing me."
"What's up Why are you chasing me"
"Ahem, I just eavesdropped on the elders' conversation and got caught. Luckily I reacted quickly, otherwise I would be in big trouble."
"What important news did you hear"
"Well, it's not that important, just some changes to the rules of combat."
"Oh Tell me more"ned."Haven't all of you sparred with Master Chen" He looked around, noticing everyone silently nodding their heads. He continued, "Do you know how your master sparred""Well, I have a pretty good idea...
