Chapter 706: Chapter 700: Extra 2: Everyone Loves Tang Zhaozhao (Part 1) (4,000 Words)

Tang Zhaozhao thought about having to team up with someone in the future to seek justice and adventure; to be honest, she wasn’t very willing.

Her nature favored freedom more, partnering with someone made her feel worse than dying.

She said, "How about this, I find someone to pair with you."

Lan Hai sighed, "I know you just don’t want to take responsibility."

Looking at Lan Hai’s questioning eyes, Tang Zhaozhao felt a bit defeated.

"Then I’ll accompany you for another week, by then you should be pretty much recovered."

Seeing Lan Hai no longer speaking, Tang Zhaozhao smiled.

"Now, should I take you out for a good meal?"

Lan Hai nodded, "Sounds good."

Their destination was Pei’s Restaurant. Through the relentless efforts of Shu’er and her employees, Pei’s had expanded to every corner of the Great Tang.

Once they arrived at Pei’s, Tang Zhaozhao ordered two of her favorite dishes and then handed the menu to Lan Hai.

Lan Hai took the menu and ordered two more.

After finishing their meal, Tang Zhaozhao returned in high spirits.

Seven days later, Tang Zhaozhao cheerfully packed her luggage.

"Well, Brother Lan, all good things must come to an end. I’ve found someone to accompany you in your adventures, you can travel safely together, and enjoy your journey."

With those words, Tang Zhaozhao left with her luggage.

Lan Hai gave Tang Zhaozhao a deep look and did not try to hold her back.

Tang Zhaozhao had stayed long enough in Jiangzhou and thought of exploring other places.

As she left, she passed by the richest house in Jiangzhou and inexplicably thought of the gloomy young boy she had saved before.

Just as she was thinking, she saw a group of children pushing the gloomy boy down and starting to hit him, even urinating on his head.

The boy only silently endured, his fingers turned white from the strain, but he did nothing.

At least knowing him, Tang Zhaozhao didn’t want to see the boy suffer like this.

She immediately jumped into the Jiang family, pushing away the mischievous boys.

Shielding the gloomy boy behind her.

"What are you doing?"

The boys laughed, "Oh look, the little cripple actually has someone protecting him."

"Did you meet someone nice outside?"

Tang Zhaozhao had been spoiled for so many years; no one ever dared talk to her like that.

"Don’t push it too far."

As soon as she said this, the group laughed again and started to scrutinize Tang Zhaozhao.

Her looks were stunning, a perfect combination of her father and mother’s strengths, rarely could one find a girl prettier than her.

Furthermore, her delicate features sparked ill intentions in these boys.

"I think you shouldn’t stick with this little cripple, why not be with us instead?"

After saying this, these young masters ordered servants to surround Tang Zhaozhao, intending to force her.

Tang Zhaozhao frowned, "Are you dreaming?"

Although she usually didn’t show any airs, her patience was nonexistent for those without virtue.

Moreover, they were stepping on her dignity; if she didn’t act, she’d appear foolish.

Tang Zhaozhao immediately drew her whip, severely disciplining these people. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

She pointed her whip at them, her brows furrowed.

"Let me tell you, you are not allowed to bully him anymore. If I see it happen, I’ll punish you each time."

Saying this, Tang Zhaozhao was about to leave; just at that moment, Jiang Wanli, the wealthiest man in Jiangzhou, approached.

Seeing Tang Zhaozhao, his anger flared.

"You little girl, I thought you sent Chu Mu here for good reasons, but you dare intrude our home to show off."

Tang Zhaozhao heard this and couldn’t help but frown.

"The person I saved comes here only to be bullied by them, even verbally insulted me, trying to force me. I find nothing wrong in defending myself."

Jiang Wanli cast a cold glance at Chu Mu, "What’s going on?"

Chu Mu hadn’t spoken yet, but the other boys started chattering, complaining.

"It’s Chu Mu; he stole from us. We were just giving him a little punishment."

Tang Zhaozhao pointed at the wounds on Chu Mu’s body, "You call this a little punishment? You’re beating him to death."

Jiang Wanli saw it and frowned, "These are just minor injuries. Mu’er made a mistake; punishment is warranted."

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhaozhao widened her eyes in shock, doubting her ears.

Is this what a grandfather should say?

"Don’t unrelated passersby first question the reasons before deciding actions?"

Tang Zhaozhao looked at Chu Mu again to find his still unhappy demeanor.

Tang Zhaozhao pondered for a moment, "How about this, do you wish to come with me, or shall I arrange some people to protect you while you stay in the Jiang Mansion?"

As soon as she said this, Jiang Wanli frowned.

"We cannot allow anyone else into the Jiang Mansion."

Chu Mu paused and then said, "I’ll come with you."
