Chapter 1436: Enmity and Questioning
It was only out of respect for Zhuang Shiqing that Ye Long made the trip.
Although Ye Long and Zhuang Shiyuan had known each other since childhood, their interactions were limited. Ye Long's closest friends were the group at the poker table, and because of Zhuang Shiqing's connections, his respect for the Zhuang family was somewhat limited. A towering castle, seemingly unshakable to outsiders, can be diminished by the constant taunting of a close friend who lives within it and constantly criticizes everything and everyone within it.
So these young people who are new to the business world are so arrogant and ambitious as soon as they start to get involved in the business world. How can they even look up to you?
How awesome the previous generation was is their business. Compared with their peers today, among their circle of poker partners and close friends, who is not better than the loser that is the dealer's eldest son?
Ye Long said that perfunctorily and didn't want to explain any more. Besides, the woman who had been flirting with him at the beginning was not the eldest young master's woman, so why was the eldest young master jumping around like that?
"Master Zhuang, if you're just looking for a sense of existence, you really don't need to come in front of me. I can't help you. You should recover quickly, stand up, and make some achievements. We are all in the same circle. I know your difficulties. The second young master may seem naughty, but he is not a good person. So I advise Master Zhuang to worry more about his family and not bring up trivial matters. You are boring, but I have a lot of tasks and pressure on my shoulders, so please, Master Zhuang, don't tease your brothers in the future, okay?"
The fact that Ye Long could criticize the Second Young Master and the First Young Master so bluntly was because he had heard too much complaints and disdain from the Zhuang family's own people all day long. He would not say this to a friend he was not familiar with.
Zhuang Shiyuan's face was gloomy and he looked at Ye Long with cold eyes.
Ye Long smiled. After a long pause, he didn't hear Zhuang Shiyuan's words. Ye Long continued, "If what I said just now offended the young master, don't mind. I speak my mind frankly and mean no harm. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
"Wait." Zhuang Shiyuan said in a deep voice.
Ye Long turned around and laughed, "Young Master, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't keep it in your heart. Even if you hit it with a few sticks, it won't make any noise. Brother, I said I have a job, and I really didn't lie to you."
"I invited you here to ask you, was this the lady you went out with?" Zhuang Shiyuan asked.
Ye Long glanced at Xuanxuan and sneered, "It's her! This woman is really good at talking. One moment she said she was the daughter of a wealthy family in the south, the next she said she was the daughter of a high-ranking official. Later I found out that she was just a little nurse. Phew——"
This was probably the first time he had been cheated by a woman. When Ye Long looked at Xuan Xuan again, the little interest he had in him had turned into ridicule and contempt.
However, after all, she was just a person not worth mentioning, so Ye Long did not direct his attack towards Xuanxuan, but instead turned his attention to Mu Ning.
"I say, Master Zhuang, that fat guy and the young nurse beside you are not even as good as this nurse. Look at the ugly face of that woman behind you. She must have crushed you to death that night..."
Mu Ning's face was extremely ugly. Before An came forward, she said calmly, "Master Ye, please apologize to my master!"
Zhuang Shiyuan smiled faintly, while Ye Long pointed at Zai An with an exaggerated look of surprise, laughing, "Oh, this is what they call a dog relying on the power of others..."
Before the word "势" came out, the man was knocked to the ground with a "空" sound. He fell to the ground and looked at Ye Long coldly.
"Our eldest young master is speaking to you in a friendly way out of courtesy. Otherwise, would you be worthy of setting foot in here?"
Zai'an has always been calm and humble, and he has never acted like this even towards his servants or low-level employees.
Ye Long cried out on the ground, finally got up, staggered back two steps, and looked at the people in the room with a sneer.
"Alright, really good, the young master of the Zhuang family is really good. He is not grateful for surviving a disaster and is still so arrogant. The heavens are watching us, young master Zhuang!" Ye Long laughed and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then turned and left. "No need to see me off, I can walk by myself!"
As An Gang moved, Zhuang Shiyuan said in a deep voice, "Uncle An!"
"Young Master..."
"Forget it." Zhuang Shiyuan didn't take Ye Long seriously. After being punched, he could only say a few words in a bluffing manner. That was all he could do, so he was not to be feared.
"...Yes." Although Zai An was unwilling to accept it, he had to let it go.
Zhuang Shiyuan looked at Xuanxuan and suddenly knelt down crying, "Master, please forgive me this time. I have been here for four years and I really have deep feelings for you. I said that because I don't want to leave. Please forgive me..."
Xuanxuan was crying, and her aunt brought down Xuanxuan's packed luggage from upstairs.
Zhuang Shiyuan glanced at the two large boxes calmly and sneered, "How deep is it?"
"..." Xuanxuan looked up at her aunt with a cold face, suddenly stood up and pushed her aunt hard, "Why did you enter my room? Why did you touch my things, ah..."
Auntie rudely pushed Xuanxuan away and said with a stern face, "Miss Zixuan, please think carefully about how you are going to explain this to our young master."
With your little IQ, you think you can instigate the young master? You are so arrogant. You think you are a fool, but you really think everyone in the world is a fool.
Mu Ning looked at Xuan Xuan crying bitterly and felt helpless. In fact, Xuan Xuan was not a bad person, she was just a bit of a nagging person.
"Zhuang Shiyuan," Mu Ning half-knelt beside Zhuang Shiyuan, her round hand covering the back of his hand, "Forget it, Xuanxuan has taken care of you for four years after all. Even if she has no credit, she has worked hard..."
"Do you know what she did behind her back?" Zhuang Shiyuan asked softly, looking at her calmly and peacefully.
Mu Ning shook her head. This time, just like the last time Xuan Xuan was brought back by Zai An, she had no idea. Last time, she only found out about it much later when she happened to flip through a magazine.
"Don't be so wholeheartedly good to others. The person you help unilaterally may turn around and stab you in the back. Do you understand?" Zhuang Shiyuan said softly.
Mu Ning slowly turned her head to look at Xuan Xuan, who quickly said, "Dasha, please ask the Young Master to let me go. I don't want to stay here anymore..."
Mu Ning frowned and suddenly asked, "What happened? Did you steal things from the house again?"
This had happened before. That time, Xuanxuan had secretly left with two paintings and calligraphy hidden in her suitcase. Could she have done the same thing again this time?
"No..." Xuanxuan shook her head repeatedly.
However, Mu Ning's words reminded her aunt, and she quickly opened Xuanxuan's box to check and found a password.
"Open it. The things here are public property. If anything is lost, the dealer will have to compensate you." Auntie said loudly.
Xuanxuan refused, and Auntie laughed, "Then I'll find something to chop it with!"
