Zhou Biyu sighed in her heart and looked at Zhuo Bufan helplessly.
Zhuo Bufan was also silent. Because of his mother, he couldn't cut ties with Zhuo Luo yet.
As soon as Zhuo Luo finished speaking, a group of people walked in from outside. There were two men and two women. Other than the middle-aged man who walked in front, the other three were all wet as if they had just been drenched in the rain.
It was Yu Huang, Yu Shi, and Zhuo Shuai who were kicked into the pool by Zhuo Bufan. As for the bearded man in front, he was Zhuo Bufan's third uncle, Zhuo Wei.
"Zhuo Bufan, how dare you hit your third aunt and third brother. You're out of control." Zhuo Wei walked in and stared at Zhuo Bufan and shouted.
"Zhuo Wei, what happened?" Zhuo Luo looked at Yu Huang and the others who were all wet and embarrassed. He frowned and asked suspiciously.
Zhuo Wei pointed at Zhuo Bufan and scolded, "This bastard actually kicked Yu Huang, Yu Shi, and Zhuo Shuai into the pool. He's out of control. If I don't teach him a lesson today, he won't know how to behave in the Zhuo family."
Calling Zhuo Bufan a bastard was equivalent to calling Zhuo Luo an old bastard. Zhuo Luo's face instantly darkened. He widened his eyes and slammed the table with a bang.
After Zhuo Wei finished speaking, he also realized that he had said something wrong. He looked a little embarrassed.
"Brother, I just wanted to educate him. I didn't mean to scold you." Zhuo Wei quickly explained.
Zhuo Bufan suddenly stood up and sneered, "Don't you want to know why I kicked them into the pool? They didn't give my mother her monthly allowance and sent people to cause trouble for my mother. All of this was caused by Yu Shi. Without Yu Huang's instructions, how would she dare to cause trouble for my mother? "
"You, what nonsense are you talking about? Why would I send people to cause trouble for sister-in-law?" A look of panic flashed across Yu Huang's face while Yu Shi lowered her head. Her eyeballs darted around and she appeared to be very flustered.
"Is there really such a thing? It's all my fault. I'm usually too busy with the company and didn't pay attention to these things. Yu Shi, you're the housekeeper of the Zhuo family. Tell me, "Zhuo Luo said in a deep voice. As a member of the Zhuo family, he emitted a pressure that gave Yu Shi immense pressure.
"Patriarch, I … I accidentally forgot, that's why … I didn't give Madam her monthly allowance. As for asking someone to cause trouble for Madam, I absolutely wouldn't dare," Yu Shi said in fear and trepidation.
"You don't dare? If there's a next time, I'll kill you. "Zhuo Bufan said coldly.
Zhou Biyu suddenly said, "Xiao Fan, this is just a misunderstanding. I was the one who forgot to collect my monthly allowance. It has nothing to do with Steward Yu."
Zhuo Bufan furrowed her brows. Her mother was still too kind. She didn't want Zhuo Luo to have a falling out with Third Uncle's family. Seeing her mother's pleading gaze, Zhuo Bufan could only sigh and keep her mouth shut.
"Since you've forgotten, I'll fine you three months of your salary as punishment." Zhuo Luo said.
"Thank you, Patriarch. Madam, I was too careless. I'm willing to accept the punishment." Yu Shi quickly said.
After Zhuo Luo finished speaking, his gaze landed on Zhuo Wei. "Third Brother, you saw it too. This is just a misunderstanding. We're all family. There's no need to make things so unpleasant."
"Alright then." Faced with Zhuo Luo's forcefulness, Zhuo Wei could only nod. Zhuo Shuai looked at Zhuo Bufan with hatred and said unhappily, "Dad, he kicked out two of my teeth. Are we just going to let it go?"
"Shut up." Zhuo Wei looked at his good-for-nothing son and snorted angrily. "If you were half as successful as Zhuo Fang, I wouldn't have to worry about you."
Hearing Zhuo Wei mention Zhuo Fang's name, Zhuo Shuai was instantly deflated like a balloon. Zhuo Fang was the same age as Zhuo Bufan this year. He was studying at Qingzhou Ziteng High School. After the first mock exam, Fudan University and Zhejiang University called to recruit students. He was the pride of the third generation of the Zhuo family.
Zhuo Bufan was slightly stunned. She looked at Zhuo Luo in surprise. She didn't expect Zhuo Luo to not hit her and even speak up for her.
"Third Brother, Third Sister, Bufan is young and immature. Don't take it to heart. Tomorrow, Old Master and Fourth Brother will be back. Let's have a good gathering." As Zhuo Luo spoke, he stood up. His 1.8-meter height and burly physique gave off a sense of pressure.
"Big Brother, we'll be leaving first." Zhuo Wei looked at his son and wife. After that, he left the living room with a group of people.
"Bufan, come with me to the study." Zhuo Luo said in a deep voice with his hands behind his back. He then strode up the stairs.
Zhou Biyu looked at him and said, "Xiao Fan, have a chat with your father."
Zhuo Bufan hesitated for a moment, then followed him to the study on the second floor. Zhuo Luo's back was facing Zhuo Bufan. After a moment of silence, he said, "Are you unhappy with me?"
"Can I be unhappy with you? You are the leader of the Zhuo family. One word from you can make me marry into the Ye family of Jinling. If you want to hit me, I won't fight back. "Zhuo Bufan said calmly.
Zhuo Luo took a deep breath and turned his head. He looked at him with a serious face and said, "It seems like I'm a failure as a father. If it wasn't for your mother begging you, I'm afraid you wouldn't have come back even if you were beaten to death."
"You're right. I'm still standing in front of you because of my mother. I agreed to marry into the Ye family and become their son-in-law. I only hoped that you would treat my mother better. But you disappointed me. You can let me down, but you can't let my mother down."
"There are many things that you still don't understand. The old man will be here tomorrow. He's always been prejudiced against you. If he finds out that you kicked Zhuo Shuai and Yu Huang into the water, I'm afraid he'll be even more unhappy."
Zhuo Bufan laughed coldly, "What does his unhappiness have to do with me? I've never called him grandfather."
Zhuo Bufan's grandfather had always been prejudiced against Zhuo Bufan and Zhou Biyu. When Zhuo Bufan and Zhou Biyu were chased out of Qingzhou, it was Zhuo Bufan's grandfather's order. If Zhuo Luo's eldest son hadn't died in an accident in the army, Zhuo Bufan and Zhou Biyu would never have returned to Qingzhou.
"You … Hmph, get out." Zhuo Luo frowned. He was so angry that his face turned red. He raised his hand and wanted to slap her, but he put it down in the end.
Seeing that Zhuo Bufan had left the study, the bodyguard who had been following Zhuo Luo suddenly walked in.
"Cavalry, have you found those two?" Zhuo Luo asked in a serious tone with his back facing the bodyguard.
Cavalry shook his head and said with a frown, "The two people who went to Jinling to assassinate Second Young Master Zhuo must have failed, but they haven't even been found. It's very strange."
"Hmm …" Zhuo Luo grunted and didn't mention the matter again.
At night, the Zhuo family's manor was quiet. Only a few cicadas sleeping on the branches were still chirping softly. The cool night breeze swept through the branches and the grass and the young man's fringe.
