I watched in silence for a long time.

When Zhou Xun hung up, he turned around and his gaze fell on me.

Their eyes met.

I smiled at him and approached slowly.

By the time I reached him, I had gathered up all my emotions.

I whispered, "Uncle Zhou, I don't think I saw Gong Shan."

Zhou Xun stared fixedly at me for a few seconds before saying, "What happened to you?"

I was stunned. I didn't think he would be able to read my mind.

But of course, I couldn't tell him the truth. I shook my head. "It's nothing. I just thought of Grandfather."

Zhou Xun looked at me deeply and said, "Gong Shan knew I caught Su Yan and ran back to her hometown."

I was stunned.

She runs pretty fast...

Zhou Xun said, "You still haven't told me what you want to do with her."

I didn't think it through and said, "Let's wait for her to give birth to the child first …"

Anyway, I'm not planning on letting Gong Shan go, and she's not a good person to be forgiven.

Zhou Xun acknowledged and suddenly said, "Bring me to your room."

I looked at him in surprise.

He took my hand and smiled. "This is my first time here and I want to see where you grew up."

I looked down at our clasped hands and felt a pang in my heart.

Since he already has someone he likes, why did he come and provoke me?

At this moment, he had a very loving look. Who would have thought that he was actually coaxing me?

I lowered my eyes and led him to the second floor.

My room had been redecorated by Gong Shan, so many things were thrown away.

Zhou Xun also guessed the whole story and said, "Then tell me."

I nodded. "My grandfather personally arranged this room for me all those years ago …."

The wallpaper was pink, the furniture was European Princess style, including the curtains were also pink. There were also a lot of dolls scattered in every corner of the room. There were a lot of caricatures on the shelves …

Little by little, I think back to the old days.

At that time, my grandfather was still alive, and he always liked to buy me all kinds of princess dresses. He even brought me to work together, and my red flowers were all stuck to the walls of my kindergarten …

Many memories flashed through my mind.

Zhou Xun listened quietly, not interrupting my thoughts.

I stood on the balcony and pointed at the orange tree below that had already blossomed and bear fruit. "That was planted by grandfather when I was four years old. He said that when I grew up, there would be oranges to eat …"

From afar, the trees were covered with small green fruits. They were only waiting for the autumn to ripen before they were ready to be eaten.

Zhou Xun wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed the back of my head, saying, "In the autumn, I will accompany you back."

With just that one sentence, the bitterness and discomfort in my heart suddenly disappeared.

He clearly knew that he shouldn't have been lured by him. He clearly knew that if this carried on, I would only end up in pieces. However, he still managed to weave his way into the net.

I rubbed my cheek against his shoulder and answered gently.

So we watched the yard in silence.

Till Tao Zhizhou finds his way upstairs.

I quickly broke free from Zhou Xun's embrace.

Tao Zhizhou's gaze fell on me and Zhou Xun. His expression was very calm as he said, "Miss Su, it's already over. There's nothing much to be gained for now, but I still have to thank you for your assistance."

I quickly waved my hands.

He smiled at me and turned to Zhou Xun. "Third young master, we'll meet in the capital."

Zhou Xun nodded.

Tao Zhizhou took his leave.

Zhou Xun and I accompanied them to the courtyard.

Before we got into the car, Shen Zixian gave me a meaningful look.

I ignored him.

He turned and shut the door with a grunt.

Me: "…"

This temper of his was rather arrogant.

I couldn't help but laugh.

Zhou Xun grabbed my waist and whispered, "What are you laughing at?"

I shook my head but smiled.

He narrowed his eyes and suddenly leaned close to my ear. "Baby, you're not allowed to look at other men," he said with a hint of danger in his voice.

I turned to him in surprise.

He pinched my nose. "I'll be angry."

For a moment I couldn't say what I was feeling.

If I hadn't just heard Shen Zixian's words, I would have thought that he had already fallen for me …

I lowered my head and didn't say anything.

Fortunately, he didn't continue with this topic. He embraced my shoulders and said, "Let's go back."

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Halfway to the car, Zhou Xun told Zhou Ning to turn around.

He whispered, "Let's go somewhere else first."

I don't understand.

He had no intention of explaining anything to me.

After about ten minutes, the car stopped outside a villa. After we entered, Zhou Xun took me directly to the basement.

I had a guess.

As expected, GuQiong was locked up below.

Her hair was disheveled and her face was dirty. She was tied to a chair and exuded a strong stench.

To a pampered lady from a noble family, such a method would cause her to lose all face.

I couldn't help but glance at Zhou Xun.

His methods were indeed powerful.

Upon seeing Zhou Xun, Gu Qiong began to mutter under her breath, "Zhou Xun, quickly release me!"

Zhou Xun carelessly swept a glance at her. "You didn't offend me." Saying that, he nudged me forward, "Whether I let you go or not, it's up to Nian to decide."

I looked at him in surprise.

What did he mean?

Let me decide if Gujong is going to stay, but... Didn't this make Gujun hate me even more?

As expected, Gu Qiong's face darkened as she said, "Who does she think she is? Don't think that you can use her to insult me just because you captured me!"

I couldn't help but sigh.

The revulsion on her face was so obvious that it made me a little uncomfortable.

I've never been one to belittle myself.

In fact, I didn't think she was above me.

I can understand her contemptuous attitude. After all, her family background gave her the qualifications to look down on me. However, at this moment, she clearly didn't look down on me. She treated me like an ant.

Naturally, I was not in a good mood.

Zhou Xun said flatly, "Other than the identity that the Gu family gave you, what else can you do? My family recites you as a top student of the Imperial University, what about you?" "Just paid for a diploma from a foreign business school."

His expression was indifferent, and his tone was normal. However, he seemed to possess an aura that seemed to look down on the world.

Gu Qiong was probably angered by him and her face became distorted.

Zhou Xun kissed my forehead and said gently, "Don't be afraid of her. You are a member of our Zhou family. If the Gu family wants to cause trouble for you, they will have to see if they have the ability to do so."

It was a completely supportive stance.

I couldn't quite make out what he meant. He seemed to insist on pushing me against Guyon, making her hate me all the more.

Available... Why is that?

Gu Qiong's eyes were filled with malice as she spoke word by word, "Zhou Xun, I will remember the humiliation you caused me today!"

Zhou Xun ignored her and asked, "Darling, have you decided what to do with her?"

I opened my mouth and stopped.

GuQiong drugged me and told me to turn around, so of course I hated her.

But I was also afraid of her family, so I didn't dare to use the same method against her.

As for releasing her … How could I be willing?

I found myself wondering why.

Zhou Xun saw through my hesitation and said, "How about we let her have a taste of what it feels like to be drugged?"

I was aghast.

Gu Qiong shrieked, "You dare!"

Zhou Xun smiled slightly, "The Gu Family... In my eyes, the Gu family is just a clown that just got up from the ground. Do you think I dare? "

Gu Qiong's face went ghastly pale.

A faint smile could be seen on Zhou Xun's face as he continued, "Last time, you threatened me with my brother. Unfortunately, you didn't know that I hated being threatened the most."

Gu Qiong's expression could no longer be described with words. Her eyes were filled with regret and resentment.

Zhou Xun embraced me and said expressionlessly to Gujun, "The last person you should have done this to me is the person who touched me."

My people...

The three words completely stunned me.

Then a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

Even though I knew he didn't like me, I was still touched. My heart was soft and sour, and the taste was hard to tell.

Zhou Xun had already given Zhou Ning the orders.

The bodyguard stepped forward, holding the syringe, and was about to stab Gudgeon in the arm.

Gu Qiong must have realized that he was serious, so she immediately cried and begged, "Ah Xun, I was wrong …" I just love you too much... "For the sake of me loving you so much, let me go …"

She cried like the rain, no longer as arrogant and despotic as before.

Zhou Xun coldly observed her and ignored her, as if he was an outsider.

Seeing that the syringe had already pierced into Gu Qiong's skin, she fiercely struggled and wailed, "I'll definitely not touch her in the future …" "I was really wrong …"

Unfortunately, it was still useless, the syringe had pierced her skin.

I was flabbergasted.

He thought that Zhou Xun was just trying to scare her, but to think that he would really drug her.

Next... Should he call for her?

I unconsciously pinched Zhou Xun's fingers.

If it really was Gu Qiong's turn, the Gu family would definitely not let this matter rest once they knew about it …

I weighed the situation over and over again, but I still couldn't hold it in. I pulled on Zhou Xun and called out to him, "Uncle Zhou …"

Zhou Xun looked down at me.

I opened my mouth and whispered, "Anyway, I …" I'm fine too … How about we just forget it? "

Zhou Xun touched my face and said, "Are you soft-hearted?"

I shook my head and honestly replied, "I'm just afraid that the Gu family might come looking for trouble with you, and she might come looking for me again …" There will be no end to it. "

Zhou Xun pinched my cheek. "Fine, I'll listen to you."

With that, he instructed Zhou Ning to deal with the aftermath and then walked outside with me in his arms.

As for Gu Qiong, who was behind him, the medicinal effects of the pill had already started to take effect. She was currently gasping for air, crying for Zhou Xun to give her the antidote.

I walked a few steps and suddenly remembered that there seemed to be no way to cure it. I could only find a man to release it …

Since Zhou Xun didn't plan to call her out, could it be that he wanted her to continue being tortured until the medicinal efficacy failed?

But I remember the doctor saying that if you don't find someone to help you, you might be in danger of losing your life.

I couldn't help but stop and whisper, "Uncle Zhou, are we really going to just throw her here? "But this medicine is very powerful …"

Zhou Xun said, "This pill was taken from her hands, so we should at least let her have a taste of its effects. Even if she died from the pain, it was her fault. What does it have to do with us?"

His voice was as indifferent as if he were talking.

GuQiong must have heard his words and screamed crazily behind her. She no longer looked as elegant and beautiful as she used to be.

I shivered for no reason.

After this incident, I finally understood Zhou Xun's power.

He had never been a merciful and soft-hearted person. Whoever offended him would definitely end up in a miserable state.
