return of the king

The servants of the Zhou family followed what the old man said, and drove Zhou Lingsheng out of the big iron gate.

Zhou Lingsheng was willing to kneel down before, but now that Zhou Mingren found out about the bad things he had done, he knelt on the ground even more panicked, but he didn't dare to scream like before.

He thought that as long as he kept kneeling at the door, no matter how much his grandfather hated him, he would agree to help him for the benefit of the Zhou family.

After Zhou Lingsheng left the house, Zhou Mingren kept his original posture standing in front of the stairs.

He has always favored Zhou Lingsheng. After such a thing happened, he had no face to ask Yingli, Yin Li and Li Xi to help Zhou Lingsheng deal with these things.

Because of them, Yin Li and Ying Li got divorced. Now one of them refuses to go back to Zhou's house, and the other has gone abroad. He can't escape responsibility for the trouble.

At first Zhou Mingren was determined to let Zhou Lingsheng fend for himself, but he thought for a while and hesitated.

He wanted Zhou Lingsheng to be punished, but he was not the only one to go to jail. When this matter got out, it would definitely affect the Zhou family's reputation and cause Zhou's stock to fall.

He didn't want to bother Zhou Yingli and them because of Zhou Lingsheng's matter, but when he thought about the stability of Zhou's stock, now whether he asked Zhou Yingli for help or not, he would create a lot of trouble for them.

Besides, none of the Zhou family's descendants broke the law before, and no one went to jail. If Zhou Lingsheng really went to jail, even if he apologized with his death, the ancestors of the Zhou family would not forgive him!

He wanted to have an official in his family, but a corrupt official came out. Now it's better, it's better not to let the Zhou family enter the political circle!

Zhou Mingren thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhou Lingsheng could not be imprisoned.

"Master, you have been standing for more than an hour. If you want to think about something, why don't you sit down and think about it?" The housekeeper of the Zhou family who has served Zhou Mingren for a long time bit the bullet and interrupted Zhou Mingren's thoughts.

The others felt uncomfortable seeing Zhou Mingren standing alone. They didn't dare to talk to the angry old man, so they had to collectively push the butler over.

In the past, if Zhou Mingren was thinking about something, they would not have dared to disturb him.But Zhou Mingren's current state of despair, and his body seemed to be about to collapse. They didn't dare to let him go on like this, for fear that he would really collapse.

The fall of the old man can be big or small. Many healthy old people will be paralyzed after a stroke. They don't want to see the old man have this kind of experience.

Although the old man is autocratic, eccentric and stubborn, at least he has clear rewards and punishments. He has never deliberately withheld their monthly salary, and even gave them red envelopes during the holidays.

Now it is his retribution for the old man to live alone in the mansion, and the servants don't want him to become worse.

Zhou Mingren stared blankly at the butler, then his expression changed, and he silently let the butler lead him to the sofa and sit down.

The butler asked him to sit on the sofa and wanted to leave, Zhou Mingren moved his mouth, but stopped talking.

The butler sensed what he was about to say, so he stopped and did not leave immediately.

After a while, Zhou Mingren sighed and said, "Ah~ Did I go too far before?"

The fact that he can say this already shows that he knows that he is wrong.

The housekeeper shouldn't be in charge of the master's affairs, even if Zhou Mingren consults him now, he can't say too much.

He just said a few words, "It's not too late."

A few short words not only answered Zhou Mingren's question, but also comforted Zhou Mingren, and hinted at what Zhou Mingren should do in the future.

Zhou Mingren smiled wryly: "I know what to do, but it's a pity that Li Xi has to help Lingsheng with an important matter. Did I hurt them again?"

The "them" that Zhou Mingren mentioned naturally refers to Zhou Yingli, Yin Li and Zhou Lixi.

The butler didn't answer this time.

In the past, they were eccentric, but now they have to be eccentric.Mr. Zhou is committing crimes.

"Sure enough, even you think I've gone too far." Zhou Mingren shook his head and sighed.

"If it's something that has to be done, the master doesn't need to worry at all, because no matter how much you worry about it, you still have to do it. It's better to think about how to remedy this matter afterward." The housekeeper suggested.

The remedy he said was to imply that Zhou Mingren wanted to make up for Zhou Yingli and the three of them.

"How to fix it?" Zhou Mingren muttered in a low voice.

Zhou Mingren looked at the butler, as if asking him to give another suggestion.

The changed Zhou Mingren made it difficult for the housekeeper to adapt, and he couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat.

"They can give whatever they want. In my opinion, this applies to everyone." The butler thought for a while and gave the answer.

"They will give them whatever they want?" Zhou Mingren muttered to himself.

"Give" is already a problem, and it is even more difficult to know what they want.

Those three people seldom asked him, and he didn't know what they wanted from them.

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Mingren suddenly realized.

He didn't know what Zhou Yingli and Yin Li wanted, but he thought of what Zhou Lixi wanted!

Wasn't this kid collecting Zhou Lingsheng's bad deeds for him to have an excuse to negotiate terms with him?

Li Xi used this trick to make demands on him, and Zhou Mingren could easily think of it, if it wasn't for him to let him be gay, it was for him to agree to be with the person in the photo.

No matter which one it is, the essence is actually the same, anyway, let Li Xi be with a man!

Li Xi was able to use this information as a clue, probably because he guessed that he would not let Zhou Lingsheng go to jail.He will use this as a condition of negotiation, and I believe he must know how to settle these things.

Of course, these rumors are very likely to be released by Li Xi.

Zhou Mingren quickly forgave Li Xi for releasing things that were not good for his family.But he had to think carefully about agreeing to him being with a man.

Li Xi is with a man, this matter will definitely be reported by the newspapers and news, it is also a matter of embarrassment to the Zhou family, but it is not serious compared to what happened to Zhou Lingsheng.

Zhou Mingren thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of anything else that he needed to give to those three people other than this point, so he had to compromise with the only point that came to his mind.

"You call Li Xi to come back... No, give me the phone, I will call Li Xi myself."

"Yes." The butler was very pleased.

From Zhou Mingren's words, he already felt that his attitude towards Zhou Lixi had changed, and he began to understand how to respect this grandson whom he had always neglected.

"Come back, I have something to talk to you." After thinking about it, Zhou Mingren seemed to feel that his tone of voice was not good enough, so he lowered his voice and said, "If you want to be with that person, bring him back show me."

Although he decided to allow Li Xi to be with a man, he still had to see if this man was worthy of Li Xi before deciding whether to let them be together.

The way and tone of his speech have shown that he is friendly, and he believes that Li Xi can understand.

"Okay." Zhou Lixi immediately agreed.

He didn't care that the two of them were still at work. After hanging up with Zhou Mingren, he immediately left the company and went to Cao'an to pick up Dafu, and they went to the Zhou family's main house together.

"What's going on?" Sitting in the passenger seat, Dafu asked out of breath.

Zhou Lixi called and told him to come down immediately, then hung up without even saying the reason, and rushed downstairs in fright.

Fortunately, the secretary reminded him to wait for the elevator to come up before going downstairs, otherwise he almost ran down the stairs from the top floor.

"Fasten your seat belt." Zhou Lixi started the car while talking.

After the seat belt was fastened, Dafu asked again: "What happened?"

"My grandpa called to convince me, and asked me to take you there to have a look." Zhou Lixi was finally willing to tell the reason this time.

He was afraid that if he said it too early, Dafu would not get in the car and follow him to Zhou's house.

"So fast?!" Dafu said in disbelief.

Just as Zhou Lixi thought, he was not ready to meet the stubborn old man yet!

"It's not soon." He thought that Zhou Lingsheng would know earlier that his affairs had been leaked, and that the old man would show weakness earlier, but he didn't expect that it took a few days until he let people release the rumors before Zhou Lingsheng knew about these things.

The news of this idiot is really not well-informed. I really don’t know where he has been with his connections all these years as an official. Doesn’t he know that he has already asked some of the things he has done to be passed on to the "upper"? !

"Not fast? It's only been a few days since you fell out!"

He kept hearing Zhou Lixi say how stubborn his grandfather was, and he thought he could last a little longer, but he called to let them pass in just a few days.

Stopping at the intersection of red lights, Zhou Lixi looked at Dafu and smiled inexplicably, "Do you think my grandpa thought about it for a few days before agreeing to see you?"

"Isn't it?" What if it's not like this?

"Actually, he only thought about it for a few hours." Zhou Lingsheng heard the news when he left the office building in a panic and returned to Zhou's house. Someone told him about it.

From that time to now, it is only a few hours.

"Your grandfather surrendered in just a few hours? You blackmailed me!" Dafu didn't believe it.

"Well, to be precise, it's not just these few hours. I think he should have reflected on it a few days ago."

Zhou Lixi thought that his grandfather should have reflected on it a few days ago. He felt that he owed them, so he made a decision so quickly when faced with such a double-benefit choice.
