A car accident, our family of three crossed

Either he looked down on the family background or the character. In short, in his eyes and heart, there was no man worthy of his daughter.

However, when his daughter grows up, she will eventually get married. He has been putting it off again and again. Now his daughter is already seventeen years old. If he doesn't settle down, she will become an old maid in a year or two.

Zhou Huan was worried and sighed.

He had thought about finding a son-in-law for his daughter, but he particularly looked down on those men who lived off women. Only men with no future would be willing to marry into a woman's family. How could his daughter, Zhou Huan, marry a man with no future?

In just half a minute, Zhou Ru saw various expressions changing on her father's face. This was the first time she saw her father's expressions so diverse.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Did your inspection of the store go wrong this time?"

Zhou Ru thought that if it was a business matter, she really couldn't help much.

"It's okay." Zhou Huan's expression immediately returned to normal after hearing that. He glanced at Xiang Huan who was following Zhou Ru. Thinking of Shui Sheng's matter, he mentioned it casually, "Well, I passed by a workshop outside the city today and brought Shui Sheng back to the capital. He had a fight with someone in the workshop."

Xianghuan raised her head, feeling a little worried. She wanted to ask what was going on, but she felt it was inappropriate.

Fortunately, Zhou Ru asked faster than she did: "Dad, what exactly happened? Why did Shuisheng fight with others?"

In her opinion, Shuisheng has a good temper and doesn't seem like the kind of person who would easily fight with others, unless someone bullies him.

Thinking of this, she then asked, "Dad, was that guy bullied in the workshop?"

Every time Zhou Ru asked a question, Xiang Huan listened nervously from behind, afraid of missing any important information.

In a place like the capital, there are many people who are arrogant and look down on others. Shuisheng is a foreigner who got into the workshop through connections, so his situation there must be not easy.

Others dislike him. Even if they don't do anything openly, it is not impossible that they bully him secretly.

Seeing that Zhou Ru was very concerned about this matter, Zhou Huan said with a joking smile: "Ren Xianghuan, your future fiancée, is not anxious, so why are you so anxious?"

When Xianghuan heard the word "future fiancée", her face immediately turned red. She was worried about Shuisheng just now, but now she was just shy.

Zhou Ru, however, was not embarrassed at all, and said openly: "Hey, I'm asking this on behalf of Xiang Huan, otherwise she wouldn't dare to ask you so many questions, Dad, please tell us what's going on!"

Zhou Huan was pestered by her and almost spilled his tea. He quickly raised his hand to stop her, "Okay, okay, okay, if you want to know what's going on, why don't you go and ask for yourselves?"

Zhou Ru also thought this suggestion was very good, but soon she thought of the people who were following her outside the mansion and immediately became discouraged.

"Dad, you don't know that there are people from the Marquis' Mansion guarding outside our house. They are waiting for me to go out so that they can find Song Ning and the others' residence through me."

"If you can't get out, can't you use your brain to think of a way out? Are you going to stay in the mansion and not go out until those people withdraw?"

Zhou Ru really hadn't thought about this problem seriously in the past two days. She just thought that she should try not to go out these days, and even if she went out, she couldn't go to the Hang family.

She wanted to go out at the moment, so she sat down to think carefully, and suddenly everything became clear to her.

"Yes! I can have my carriage driven out to distract the guards outside, and then I can get another carriage and go out through the side door."

Zhou Ru immediately told Xiang Huan to make the arrangements.

Soon, Zhou Tong drove Zhou Ru's usual carriage out of the mansion and paraded through the gate in a very high-profile manner.

The people in Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion were fooled and followed quietly.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Ru got on the horse-drawn carriage used by the servants in the mansion to go out shopping and went out through the side door. After walking for a while and making sure that no one was following her, she turned in the direction of Xiuying Street.

When we arrived at the Hang's house, it was time for dinner.

"Oh! I'm in for a treat." Zhou Ru has always loved eating.

"Didn't your brother tell you to stay at home for the next few days?" Song Ning was quite surprised by her arrival. He pretended to question her and asked, "Did you bring people from the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion here? Then I'll have to chase them away."

"No, my dear sister, I had to use the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain to get out, you can't chase me away."

Zhou Ru told Song Ning how she had people lead away the people who were following her and how she left the house.

Song Ning tapped her forehead and praised her, "You're quite smart. You even used the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain."

They had hotpot again today, still with the same hot and sour soup base. Zhou Ru didn't consider herself an outsider at all, she just walked over and sat down on her own.

Afterwards, the host and guests arrived one after another.

When Shuisheng came over, he saw Xianghuan at a glance. His eyes immediately brightened up and the joy on his face was obvious.

Come to think of it, they haven't seen each other for quite a few days! He wanted to talk to her, but it didn't seem right at this time.

Xianghuan felt a little embarrassed as he kept staring at her, so she glared at him secretly, then lowered her head and stopped looking at him.

As everyone sat down, the only people left in the hall were Baozhu, who was setting the table, Xianghuan, and the guard and coachman who were accompanying them today.

Xianghuan was a servant after all. Even if she was often allowed to dine at the same table with her masters on weekdays, it was because everyone knew each other well.

Now, not only the head of the Hang family but also Master Liu sat here, so it was naturally not appropriate for her to take a seat.

The guard didn't often go out with Zhou Ru, and he wasn't as shameless as Zhou Yin. He was very dedicated to his duties.

After Baozhu laid out the main dishes and side dishes one by one, she stepped out and planned to go back to the kitchen to have dinner with everyone.

Seeing this, Xianghuan and the guard went to the kitchen with Baozhu.

When Shuisheng saw that his sweetheart had left, he couldn't sit still. He said hello to everyone else sitting there and went to the kitchen.

"I knew this kid couldn't sit still."

"Isn't it? I'm afraid he must have been feeling as uncomfortable as if he were being eaten by a worm!"

The teasing and joking voices followed him after he left his seat and were completely inaudible until he walked a certain distance away.

Ever since everyone knew about him and Xianghuan, there have been a lot of teasing voices. At first, he would blush and feel embarrassed when he heard them.

As he heard more and more of these jokes, he started to become thick-skinned and was able to laugh off these teasings.
