Xu Zhao was stunned.

What did father say just now?

He said that he was the smartest child in his heart?

Xu Zhao looked up in disbelief, "Dad?"

Shopkeeper Xu looked at his eldest son in such a state, and regret grew even stronger. "Alas! Dad is here!"

Xu Zhao felt mixed emotions.

He expected to get his father's approval, but now that he got it, he didn't seem as excited as he had imagined.

He prefers to think that his father's love is temporary.

After all, she still remembers how biased he was on a daily basis.

Manager Xu also knew that it would take some time for him to restore the relationship between father and son. What was more important now was to eliminate all unstable factors in the family.

"Ms. Li, I, Xu, remarried so that I could have a mistress to look after my family, not to let you bully my son. You should go home today. If you marry an unvirtuous wife, my Xu family will not tolerate you!"

Li was the woman that Manager Xu married again.

Li, who was still lying on the ground crying in grievance, panicked when she heard what Manager Xu said. She stood up and knelt on the ground in a timid manner.

A pair of beautiful eyes were now filled with tears, and big tears fell down her cheeks.

"Husband~" Li called softly, "Do you really not want me anymore?"

With just this sound, Shopkeeper Xu suddenly felt half of his body go numb.

He cursed inwardly for being so useless, and then his face turned cold again. "You bully my son. You are unvirtuous and unkind. How dare I keep you? I won't argue with you today. You and I will part ways and go home!"

"My husband, I was just distracted for a moment," Li looked towards Xu Zhao again, kneeling and crying, "Zhao'er, it was my fault. I shouldn't have treated you like that!"

Xu Zhao quickly turned sideways.

After all, Li was his elder and stepmother, so how could he dare to accept her gift?

But to forgive her?

Xu Zhao asked himself if he could do it.

He lowered his head in silence, making no reply. In the eyes of Shopkeeper Xu, his son was enduring humiliation, so he snorted coldly, "Don't make me say it again, get out!"

Li's body trembled, his eyes full of disbelief, and then his eyes went dark and he fainted.

Manager Xu felt sorry for Li and took back his arm around Xu Zhao, picked her up and carried her sideways, then ordered someone to call a doctor.

After all, this was the woman who had just given birth to her son, and the two of them were still hugging each other the day before.

If she hadn't gone too far, he wouldn't have wanted to drive her away.

Shopkeeper Xu sighed. Although he wanted to divorce her, the young son was only three months old and could not leave his mother. Was he going to let her return home with the child?

Xu Zhao closed his eyes slightly, a trace of disappointment flashing through his heart. He stepped forward and said, "Dad, it's my fault. I shouldn't have made Mother angry. Please don't chase her away!"

Shopkeeper Xu patted his son's shoulder, his eyes full of regret. "It's my fault. I made you suffer. When she wakes up, I will teach her a lesson. If she does it again, I will divorce her!"

Xu Zhao's eyes dimmed slightly, but he didn't say anything else.

As long as he can continue to go to school, he can tolerate this woman for a few more days!

"Then can I still go to school? Mother..." Xu Zhao lowered his head and whispered.

"Go, why not? Dad is counting on you to bring honor to our family and revive our Xu family!"

"Yes, son, I will definitely work hard!" Xu Zhao's eyes sparkled.

"Good son!" Shopkeeper Xu encouraged again, "Don't be afraid from now on. Daddy is here. You are the master of this family!"

Xu Zhao nodded vigorously.

Although he didn't know why his father suddenly changed so much, it was beneficial to him after all, so he was willing to trust his father once!

the other side!

After Zhong Ning came out of the bookstore, she headed towards the restaurant. Although she had just eaten a sesame bun, that was just an appetizer and she hadn't had the main course yet!

She had finally come down the mountain, how could she not have a meal?

She walked forward on her own, as if she was completely unaware that she was being followed.

Fang Ping followed behind her, about two or three meters away.

From the beginning, he was basically certain that the woman in front of him was most likely his fellow countryman.

If he was right, she should know herself too!

After all, in recent times, he has used several ancient poems in a row to break into the literary circle of this city.

The reputation is quite big!

She must have heard of it!

But half a month passed, and she didn't reveal her intentions.

Fang Ping felt that the other party might not have any malicious intentions.

If this is the case, since we are all from the same hometown, it would be nice to make friends and turn potential enemies into your friends.

From now on, you probably won’t have to worry about being exposed as a plagiarist!

But what should I use to get her attention?

Fang Ping stared at Zhong Ning's back while pondering in his mind.

But before he could think it through, Zhong Ning turned around and walked into the alley next to him.

Fang Ping quickly chased after him, but just as he entered the alley, he was hit on the back of the neck by a machete and fainted!

Behind the fallen figure was Zhong Ning, holding up his knife with an expressionless face.

She turned the person over to check his face and found that it was Fang Ping who had been looking for her.

Zhong Ning's eyes darkened, and then he lifted Fang Ping up with one hand.

He immediately used his Qinggong skills to dodge left and right, avoiding the sight of passers-by, and ran all the way to the mountains outside the city.

He threw the man to the ground, took out a needle from the space, and stabbed it directly into his philtrum.

Fang Ping was successfully awakened by the stabbing.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the girl from his hometown whom he had always wanted to find.

At this moment, he was looking at him expressionlessly.

It's like looking at a dead person!

Fang Ping couldn't help but shudder.

"Beautiful lady, hello, my name is Fang Ping!" Fang Ping forced himself to stand up, straightened his clothes, and then stretched out his right hand.

This is a handshake from China.

Zhong Ning's eyes flashed, and he slapped his hand back, saying coldly, "Why are you following me?"

"I'm sorry, I just want to know if the author of 'The Legend of the White Snake' is actually my fellow villager?" Fang Ping explained hurriedly.

This woman who could knock him unconscious with one blow and take him to the wilderness was not someone a weak scholar like him could fight against.

But if his fellow villager is so powerful, can he also protect him?

In this era, there are too many dangers, and he can't help but think about it.

"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?" Zhong Ning asked him with a cold glance.

Fang Ping scratched his head, looking silly:

"If we're from the same hometown, and we're strangers in a foreign land, we can still keep each other warm, right? If not, I want to know where my fellow villager is. After all, The Legend of the White Snake only existed in our time."

"Who in this county doesn't know that Master Fang is a genius, a poet descended to earth?"

Zhong Ning's voice was a little cold, "There are so many people admiring you, why do you need to stick with a nobody like me?"
