Ye Ziqin stopped behind the young man and looked at his back. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a lump in her throat. Zhuo Bufan was always cold and indifferent. She had never seen him like this before.
"I failed to pass the tribulation, and the demon hidden in my heart has finally been exposed. Zhuo Luo is my demon. In this life, I must practice the Nine Transformation Golden Body Technique to the fourth level of the Taoist Bone. Zhuo Luo, I will cut my bones to repay my father." Zhuo Bufan thought to himself. He took off Ye Zi's lips.
"Zhuo Bufan." The faint orchid fragrance of Ye Ziqin wafted into his nose.
"Yezi, you haven't slept yet?" Zhuo Bufan looked at her in surprise and forced a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Ye Ziqin simply pressed the hem of her dress and sat down beside him. She hugged her knees and looked forward with her starry eyes. She said lightly, "You don't seem to be on good terms with Zhuo Luo."
"Well, I would rather never know of his existence." Zhuo Bufan laughed at himself. In fact, when he was in the study, he really wanted to ask if Zhuo Luo had sent someone to Jinling to kill him.
Ye Ziqin lowered her head and said in a voice as gentle as the night breeze, "My father is the same. You saw it too. I think Zhuo Luo still has a father's love for you. If you two have a good talk, maybe you can solve the misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding? Even if it is a misunderstanding, why did he treat my mother like that? Just because my mother was born in a poor family and did not help his career at all? "Zhuo Bufan gritted his teeth and roared with anger.
"Feelings are really complicated. No one can explain it clearly or guess it." Ye Ziqin said softly. She sighed in her heart. Wasn't she in the same situation now?
Zhuo Bufan clasped the leaf on her middle finger with her thumb and flicked it. The leaf pierced into the trunk of a locust tree in front of her. She stood up and said, "My mother and I are just a stepping stone for him to climb up the social ladder. Unfortunately, he was wrong. In this life, I, Zhuo Bufan, dare to make the whole world my enemy. The Zhuo family is nothing."
"Let's not talk about these things. Actually, I still have something to tell you over the past few months." Ye Ziqin turned her head, her dreamy eyes that were like the surface of a lake looked at the side of Zhuo Bufan's face. At that moment, her heart seemed to beat faster.
Zhuo Bufan looked at her suspiciously and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Thank you. I know that Tianmei Corporation has encountered some difficulties, and it was you who helped solve them." Ye Ziqin pursed her thin, seductive lips and said softly.
"It's nothing. I'm going to sleep now. You should rest early too." Zhuo Bufan stood up, turned her back to her, and strode towards the villa.
Ye Ziqin watched her figure disappear into the night and sighed. He was already four years older than Zhuo Bufan. Now that he had Long Ge Yueh by his side, who was in no way inferior to her, it was likely that there would be even more outstanding women who would fall for him in the future.
"Some things are like sand that can't be grasped. What right do I have for you to love me now? I was the one who didn't treat you well in the first place." Ye Ziqin mumbled to herself.
The next day, the Zhuo family was bustling with activity.
The first generation of the Zhuo family was basically retiring at the ancestral hall in their hometown. They would only visit the Zhuo family in Qingzhou four or five times a year to discuss some matters and have an internal family meeting.
The area outside the manor was filled with cars. Many members of the Zhuo family from the main branch and the branch family had also arrived.
"Mom." Zhuo Shanshan saw a woman get out of a Mercedes-Benz S320. She ran over happily and pulled the woman.
The woman was not even forty years old, but she looked like she was in her early thirties. Her skin was well maintained and she was dressed simply. There was a smile on her face and she exuded a natural friendliness. She ruffled the little girl's hair and said angrily,
"Shan Shan, I've just returned from a business trip. Why did you dye your hair maroon again? You're still a student. You should focus on your studies. "
"Aiya, mom … stop nagging." Zhuo Shanshan said coquettishly.
"I really don't know what to do with you." Zhuo Mei's eyes were filled with adoration.
Zhuo Bufan and Ye Ziqin also walked over. "Auntie."
"Xiao Fan is back, and so is Ye Zi. I've been so busy that I forgot to buy a gift for Ye Zi. I'll take you out to buy it later. What do you mean by telling me if you like it?" Zhuo Mei smiled with her eyes squinted.
Zhuo Bufan said, "Auntie, you're biased. You're only buying for Ye Zi. Where's your nephew's gift?"
"You're already a grown-up. Why do you still need a gift?" Zhuo Mei rolled her eyes at her son. Then she smiled and said, "Alright, I'll buy it for you."
"Auntie, it's okay." Ye Ziqin blushed and said shyly.
Zhuo Bufan looked at Zhuo Mei and couldn't help but sigh. In her past life, only Auntie and Shan Shan were the best to me and my mother. Auntie often came to Jinling to help us. Before she left, she made two amulets for Auntie and Shan Shan.
"Fifth sister, you're back?" Suddenly, a loud voice rang out. A family of three walked towards Zhuo Mei.
Zhuo Mei frowned, and her face darkened.
It was Zhuo Bufan's fourth uncle and his family. Zhuo Rong, Zhuo Fang, and Jasmine. Zhuo Fang's fourth uncle and his family were in charge of the Zhuo family's transportation business. They were influential in the Zhuo family.
Zhuo Fang was the same age as Zhuo Bufan. He was one of the top students in Qingzhou Ziteng High School. He had always been a role model for the third generation of the Zhuo family. Even the Zhuo family's elder treated Zhuo Rong's family much better.
"Xiao Fan and Ye Zi are back too?" Zhuo Rong said with a fake smile.
Ye Ziqin nodded politely, but Zhuo Bufan didn't say a word. Zhuo Rong, Zhuo Fang, and Jasmine's faces darkened.
"Zhuo Bufan, I heard that you kicked your third aunt and Zhuo Shuai into the swimming pool yesterday? Now that the elder is back, your father probably won't be able to protect you and your mother. "Jasmine glanced at Zhuo Bufan from the corner of her eye. Her eyes were filled with disdain.
Zhuo Bufan sneered, "Who dares to touch my mother? Try me!"
Zhuo Rong and Jasmine both frowned. They ignored the arrogant Zhuo Bufan and strode inside. Zhuo Fang shook his head and glanced at Zhuo Bufan. He didn't seem to care about him at all. He walked inside with an air of arrogance.
"That's Brother Fang, right? I heard that he is the top student in Qingzhou High School. He will definitely be the top student in the college entrance examination this year." A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl said to her mother when she saw Zhuo Fang.
"Yeah, you have to learn from your Brother Fang. Don't be like your Brother Xiao Fan. He is always idling around in Jinling. I think his grades are at the bottom. He even needs to spend money to get into a normal college."
When the children from the collateral families saw Zhuo Fang and his family, they all looked at him with envy. They even treated Zhuo Fang as a role model for educating their children. As for Zhuo Bufan, she was a bad example.
