As soon as Zhou Crazy changed his demeanor, Liu Zixuan had figured out how to trick him.

Surely, you can’t just let this old madman bully you without fighting back.

For the sake of his great father-in-law’s physical and mental health, Liu Zixuan felt it was very necessary to let him stretch his muscles and also make his bulging wallet lose a bit of weight.

About a few minutes later, while everyone was drinking tea and tasting sweets, Zhou Crazy appeared again.

It wasn’t beyond Liu Zixuan’s expectations; the guy definitely wore the best clothes he had in his life and even applied hair gel to his few strands of hair, making them shine greasy and bright!

He walked out with a smiling face and looked at the beautiful ladies: "Ruyan, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you, you look a bit thinner."

Liu Ruyan smiled gently: "Uncle Zhou, you are still as healthy and handsome as ever."

"I love listening to you talk, child!" Zhou Crazy laughed joyfully and asked the beauties, "I hope I didn’t scare you just now, did I?"

"No." Ying Qingning waved her hand.

Third Sister An also shook her head.

"Actually, this is just the way I communicate with Zixuan, you all know that this kid is used to being flamboyant outside, as his elder, I find it necessary to occasionally spur him on, otherwise if he gets too full of himself, that’s not going to be good."

Seeing Zhou Crazy’s righteous demeanor, Bai Jingjing directly gave him a thumbs-up: "You’re right, you should spank him more often!"

"Though that’s the case, we’re not crude people either."

Zhou Crazy feigned a gentlemanly smile and sat next to Liu Zixuan: "Son-in-law, tell these young ladies, so they don’t misunderstand."

Liu Zixuan nodded, dramatically pointing at Zhou Crazy: "Uncle Zhou is a rare good person; when I was in Ghost Wood City, it was thanks to him taking care of me, otherwise, how could I be where I am today."

"Haha, low-key, low-key!" Zhou Crazy chuckled with squinting eyes, but there wasn’t any sign of low-key about him.

Having praised him, Liu Zixuan exaggeratedly continued: "Actually, just now when we were playfully sparring, Uncle Zhou even told me, seeing me back this time, skinnier and looking less healthy than before, he’s prepared to take out his treasured herbs to help me recuperate!"

"Right, right..." Zhou Crazy nodded instinctively, but upon careful thought, realized Liu Zixuan had set a trap for him, yet with so many beauties around, how could he back out?

Quickly nodding, he said: "Yes, I indeed said so!"

"Uncle Zhou, now with so many beauties watching, why don’t you take them out first, as you might forget despite being well-off!" Liu Zixuan teased.

Liu Zixuan’s woman, indeed no less formidable; just as Zhou Crazy was preparing to find an excuse, Liu Ruyan directly spoke: "Uncle Zhou, I heard from Zixuan before that you have many precious herbs, we also want to see them."

"No problem!" Zhou Crazy smiled, but inside, his heart was bleeding. As he turned around, he glared fiercely at Liu Zixuan.

He walked to the cabinet and took out a brocade box, smiling: "This was traded with a wealthy merchant a few days ago, a century-old ginseng, very rejuvenating stuff."

"Then I’ll thank Uncle Zhou." Without hesitation, Liu Zixuan grabbed it directly, and didn’t give Zhou Crazy any chance to regret, handing it directly to Liu Ruyan nearby.

Zhou Crazy surely couldn’t snatch the ginseng back from Liu Ruyan’s hands!

Zhou Crazy’s mouth twitched vigorously a few times, and pretending to be calm he said: "You see, I still love this child Zixuan dearly."

"Certainly, my honorable father-in-law is the greatest person ever, when I was dating Zhou Nian, Uncle Zhou said that in the future, this entire Treasure Hall would be mine." Liu Zixuan nudged Zhou Crazy: "Uncle Zhou, am I not lying?"

"Not at all, I only have little Nian as a daughter, so it definitely will all be yours in the future!" Zhou Crazy laughed.

"Uncle Zhou, you treat me so well, I’m really touched." Liu Zixuan turned his head, pretending to be about to shed tears.

Zhou Crazy waved his hand generously: "This child, we’re all family, why are you so moved?"

"Sigh, Uncle Zhou treats me so well, with such high expectations for me, yet I’ve let you down."

Liu Zixuan sighed deeply, with a look of regret sitting aside: "I’m afraid I don’t even have the means to marry Zhou Nian now."

"What’s wrong?" Zhou Crazy frowned and asked: "Did something happen when you went to Qian Nan? Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Liu Zixuan looked up briefly, then suddenly lowered his head. A look of wanting to speak, yet hesitating.

To be honest, looking at his demeanor, several beauties almost believed him.

But now Zhou Crazy was in a tough spot too; if he ignored Liu Zixuan, he’d surely be looked down upon by several beauties, he quickly pretended to show care and asked: "What happened, tell your father-in-law, I will surely help you!"

"Really help me?" Liu Zixuan asked.

"When have I ever deceived you?"

"You’ve deceived me a lot." Liu Zixuan blurted instinctively.

Zhou Crazy immediately got angry, slammed the table and said seriously: "I swear on the ancestors of my Zhou family for eighteen generations, I won’t deceive you this time, I will definitely help you!"

"Uncle Zhou, to be frank, on this trip to Qian Nan, I’ve offended several powerful people; you see me looking fine, but I actually have severe internal injuries, of course, that’s not the important thing, they’ve teamed up with several families, causing trouble for my Xiumei Group, which means my company is bankrupt and I’m injured now." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Liu Zixuan held Zhou Crazy’s arm, pretending to wipe tears.

Zhou Crazy raised his eyebrow: "I was wondering why the news kept reporting on Xiumei Group’s economic crisis recently, can’t believe something’s really happened!"

"Uncle Zhou, you have to help me." Liu Zixuan said pitifully.

"No problem, just tell me how to help." Zhou Crazy said righteously.

"I need a sum of money, you know, I started from scratch myself, with another sum, I can quickly rise again." Liu Zixuan said seriously.

"I thought it was a big deal!" Zhou Crazy chuckled boldly, took out a wad of cash from his pocket: "Here’s five thousand, is it enough?"

Liu Zixuan looked at those five thousand dollars, his mouth twitching sharply: "Uncle Zhou, are you kidding me?" As he spoke, Liu Zixuan gave a look towards the beauties.

Bai Jingjing instantly understood Liu Zixuan’s intention: "Uncle Zhou, such a powerful person, is just joking with you."

Zhou Crazy chuckled and patted Liu Zixuan’s shoulder: "Even the beauty guessed it right, yet you didn’t realize I was joking." As he spoke, Zhou Crazy took out a bank card and handed it to Liu Zixuan: "This is my family card’s supplementary card, all my assets are in there, spend at will!"
