Chapter 7: Accountability

Jiang Ning drove home, took a hot shower, and then sat on the bed to meditate and pranayama.

Today is a day of spiritual energy consumption, and you need to rest well.

But about half an hour later, there was a noisy sound downstairs.

"Zhou Yating, who do you think you are? My son was beaten like that, do you want to forget it so simply?"

The person who spoke was Guo Lanfang, and he was Zhou Zihao's mother.

"You are a waste, you are still pretending to be a ghost here," Guo Lanfang kicked open Jiang Ning's door and saw Jiang Ning sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking like nothing had happened, which made her even more angry.

"If you beat my son like that, I have to abolish you today!" Guo Lanfang said and picked up the broom at the door and stared at Jiang Ning angrily.

"Huh...... Second aunt, if you have something to say, what is this for? Zhou Yating, who followed behind, hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

"Hmph, let me go, it's not easy for anyone to come today. Guo Lanfang tugged at her hand, but Zhou Yating didn't mean to let go at all, Guo Lanfang scolded Jiang Ning angrily.

"You're a door-in-cheek, eating and drinking all day long, and it's better than you to have a dog. ”

"The dog also knows how to take care of the home and the caretaker, but what about you...... You're not even as good as a dog!"

The more Guo Lanfang scolded, the more unpleasant it became, Jiang Ning couldn't help it for a while, but thinking that he couldn't beat her with his hands, or did he say that he was a great cultivator in the realm of life and death, and he wanted to scold the shrew?

"Look at him, he didn't react at all, I ......" Guo Lanfang saw Jiang Ning motionless, completely ignoring her, her anger was even stronger, and she picked up her broom and was about to hit Jiang Ning.

"Alright, stop arguing!"

Mrs. Zhou's voice came from downstairs, and Guo Lanfang's hand stopped in mid-air.

"Let him come downstairs. ”

Guo Lanfang bit her lip and forcibly held back her anger.

After Guo Lanfang left, Zhou Yating walked to Jiang Ning's side and said softly: "You will admit your mistakes later, have a better attitude, and leave the rest to me." ”

Although Jiang Ning was very annoyed about this, he knew that he couldn't hide, so he got up and followed Zhou Yating downstairs.

There were nearly 10 people in the hall downstairs, and the seats were full, and Mrs. Zhou sat in the middle, looking like she was going to interrogate the prisoner.

Zhou Yating walked to the middle of the hall with Jiang Ning, and then took the lead in speaking to Mrs. Zhou.

"Grandma, Jiang Ning admitted to my mistake just now, and his attitude is very good......

"You don't have to say anything, just stand by the side. ”

Mrs. Zhou interrupted Zhou Yating's words, and Zhou Yating had no choice but to step aside.

The room was very quiet for a while, and everyone focused their eyes on Jiang Ning, some with angry eyes, and some gloated at Jiang Ning's imminent punishment.

"Get on your knees!"

Suddenly, Mrs. Zhou spoke.

Old Lady Zhou had never been so angry, and the others were so frightened that they didn't even dare to take a breath, but everyone was unmoved when they saw Jiang Ning.

"Jiang Ning, kneel down quickly......" Zhou Yating was anxious, and hurriedly whispered to persuade.

But Jiang Ning still didn't react, Guo Lanfang, who was sitting on the side, pointed at Jiang Ning and said loudly: "Let you kneel, do you hear?"

Jiang Ning snorted disdainfully and spoke.

"Why do you kneel?"

Old Mrs. Zhou directly slapped the case and stared at Jiang Ning angrily: "Presumptuous!

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ning continued.

"Hmph, is this what you mean by remorse?" Old Lady Zhou glanced at Zhou Yating, and then continued to say to Jiang Ning: "Did you cause my grandson's injury?"

"Yes, it's me. Jiang Ning's expression was still flat.

"Then you still look like this, do you think I'm too old to take care of the Zhou family's affairs?"

As soon as Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, Guo Lanfang immediately picked up: "Since he admits it, don't talk nonsense, go directly to the family law, and then drive him out!"

Jiang Ning turned his head and glanced at Guo Lanfang and said, "So anxious, don't you ask the reason?"

"Yes, yes, I don't know who's right and who's wrong. Seeing this, Zhou Yating hurriedly spoke.

"Hmph, my son has been beaten like this by you, do you still need to ask the reason?" Guo Lanfang said confidently.

"Where there is a mother, there must be a son, no wonder such a shameless son was born. Jiang Ning said lightly.

"What did you say?"

Guo Lanfang exploded directly when she heard this, and she looked like she was going to fight hard with Jiang Ning, but fortunately, the person next to her stopped her.

"Don't make a noise! Mrs. Zhou slapped the table hard, and Guo Lanfang instantly became quiet.

Jiang Ning briefly explained today's events, and everyone else present showed surprised expressions.

"You are talking nonsense! How could my son do such a thing. Guo Lanfang pointed at Jiang Ning, and then continued: "Hmph, besides, my son can deal with such a waste like you, can he use it so much?"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask your son, and I still have a witness. ”

Jiang Ning asked for the woman's contact information before leaving at that time, just because he was afraid that Zhou Zihao would repay the debt.

"By the way, I remembered. Zhou Yating stood up suddenly, and then said: "When I asked the reason in the hospital, he was hesitant, and now that I think about it, I must be at a loss and my heart is empty." ”

"Hmph, so what? He injured my son, he must be punished, and he is such a waste, it is also a burden to stay in the Zhou family. Guo Lanfang puffed up her chest and said confidently.

"Second aunt, you can't be so unreasonable, Jiang Ning is my husband anyway, you say you will be kicked out, this family business was set by grandpa. Zhou Yating hurriedly spoke.

Guo Lanfang was stunned when she saw that Zhou Yating had moved out the deceased Master Zhou.

"Alright, don't talk about it. Old Mrs. Zhou spoke, then looked at Jiang Ning and said, "There is no point in investigating the cause now, but Jiang Ning injured Ah Hao and must be punished." ”

"I'll punish you, the family law will be responsible for 20, and go to the warehouse to work as a coolie for half a year. ”

After Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, she motioned to the maid next to her to take out the family law.

The maid took out a box from the house, opened it, and there was a rattan more than a meter long lying inside.

"Grandma......" Seeing this, Zhou Yating hurriedly pleaded.

"Needless to say. Mrs. Zhou directly interrupted her words, and then took out the family law: "Zhixue, you will enforce the law." ”

Zhou Zhixue is Zhou Ranjing's father, that is, Zhou Yating's fourth uncle.

Although Zhou Zhixue also looked down on Jiang Ning, he rarely embarrassed him, this time Mrs. Zhou asked him to enforce the law by name, he had no choice but to nod, and then took the rattan over.

Zhou Zhixue walked in front of Jiang Ning, and didn't talk nonsense, after glancing at Jiang Ning, he waved his rattan high and pumped it towards Jiang Ning.

Just when everyone thought that Jiang Ning was going to be unlucky, the rattan was firmly grasped by Jiang Ning with one hand.

"You have been here for a long time, and you will punish me, have you had my consent?" Jiang Ning said, his eyes showed a cold look, and then he turned his head and glared at Zhou Zhixue.

No one could have imagined that Jiang Ning would dare to resist, and his move surprised everyone.

Zhou Zhixue's heart beat faster, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.

"You...... Let go!"

Zhou Zhixue wanted to pull the rattan back from Jiang Ning's hand, but found that he couldn't do it.

Guo Lanfang was about to speak when she saw this, but the voice of the doorman came from the door.

"Madame, outside guests. ”

"Who are you looking for?" Old Lady Zhou frowned slightly, thinking to herself who would come so late.

"It was said that he was looking for Jiang Ning, but the person had already left, leaving a letter. As he spoke, the doorman handed the letter to Mrs. Zhou.

This letter didn't look special, Mrs. Zhou opened it very casually, and saw that it was an invitation inside.

The name on the invitation is naturally Jiang Ning, and the content in it is nothing special, but when Mrs. Zhou saw the end, her eyes widened unconsciously.

"This is, the Lin family ......"

At the end of the invitation was the seal of the Lin family, and Mrs. Zhou stared at the bright red seal, her hands trembling.

"Stop!"

Zhou Zhixue was still grabbing the rattan, and Mrs. Zhou shouted angrily directly, and then walked to Jiang Ning with the invitation.

"What is this? Where did it come from?"

"Invitation, this shouldn't be difficult to see, right?" Jiang Ning shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"That's not what I'm talking about. Mrs. Zhou said and opened the invitation, then pointed to the seal of the Lin family and said, "I'm asking you this." ”

Everyone was curious, and they all came over to take a look, and a few of them who were well-informed also recognized the seal of the Lin family.

"Today at the venue, someone said I should go to his house tomorrow, and he sent this. Jiang Ning said lightly.

"Are you saying that the Lin family invited you?" asked Mrs. Zhou as she continued.

"Yes, is there any problem?" Jiang Ning said.

"Impossible, tomorrow is the Lin family's family banquet, and it is rare to invite outsiders, let alone you. ”

The Lin family has great prestige in Longyun City, and the family banquet is only held once every six months.

"If you don't believe it, you can just ask someone to come with me tomorrow. Jiang Ning shrugged helplessly and said.

Old Mrs. Zhou stared at Jiang Ning and didn't speak for a long time, as if she was thinking about something.

Suddenly, Guo Lanfang pointed to the invitation and said, "Don't believe him, this invitation is definitely fake!"

"Don't you know what he has been like in the past three years? With his virtue, the Lin family will invite him?"

This sudden invitation letter from the Lin family caught everyone off guard, and many people didn't believe it, so they echoed it.

"Yes, the Lin family is one of the three major families, and even we can't climb it, how can he be. ”

"That is, this invitation is absolutely fake, and he is afraid of being punished, so he deliberately made a fake one to excuse himself. ”

Everyone was gossiping, and Mrs. Zhou shouted directly.

"Shut up, I can't see if it's fake? Besides, who dares to fake the Lin family's seal?"

"Okay, that's the end of today's business, let Lao Zhao send him to the Lin family tomorrow. After Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, she handed the invitation letter to Jiang Ning.

Zhou Yating was relieved and took a deep breath.

Guo Lanfang on the side clenched her hands, although she was very unconvinced, but this was an order from Mrs. Zhou, and she was helpless.

After everyone dispersed, the news quickly reached Zhou Zihao's ears, and he was so angry that he smashed things in the ward.

The nurses on guard didn't dare to disturb, this was a high-level VIP ward, and those who could afford it were not ordinary people.

Zhou Zihao clenched his fists, and the anger and humiliation in his heart climbed to the extreme: "Jiang Ning, I must kill you!"
