Chapter 559: Ulterior Motives
Although Yangcheng is small, the Zhong family's house is not small, it is a courtyard with a few entrances and exits, and it is ancient.
Zhong Zhengyang stopped the car, Wu Fan and Xiaofei got out of the car, and then drove the car to the side, looking at the tall threshold, Wu Fan smiled, "The ancient high-ranking families are nothing more than that." ”
"Brother Ang, when I see this house, I know what kind of person Old Man Zhong is, I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to make this trip. ”
"No matter how easy it is, since you are here, this thing must be done!" Wu Fan smiled, let Xiao Fei carry the sack, and then entered the Zhong family under the leadership of Zhong Zhengyang!
"The old man is waiting in the main courtyard, the courtyard we are passing through now is occupied by the juniors of the family, and there are not many people in normal times, after all, it is an old mansion, who likes it?"
"I like it, but if you live with one or two people, I'm afraid it's a little lonely. ”
"Who says it's not? The juniors of the Zhong family are all working hard in various cities, how can this small Yangcheng accommodate so many capable people?" Zhong Zhengyang seems to be very dissatisfied with Old Man Zhong's insistence on Yangcheng, and this is the first time he has mentioned this problem, "It's difficult to take his old man out to enjoy happiness!"
"You will go out, as long as you have carved out a new world in other places and established a firm foothold, Old Man Zhong will come out of here sooner or later. ”
"Also, this is also the reason why Zhengyuan and I are so desperate, Yangcheng is too small after all, and it will be a matter of time before the Zhong family walks out of here!" Zhong Zhengyang smiled, "Anyway, I don't treat you as an outsider, and I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say these things to you!"
"I'm very optimistic about you, after all, in just a few years, you have already laid a piece of Nuoda's industry in Yanjing Haicheng!" Wu Fan smiled, "By the way, why didn't you see Zhengyuan?"
"He's in Haicheng, but Brother Ang, don't think about it, that kid heard that you were coming to Yangcheng, and he couldn't wait to come back to have a look, but the old man at home didn't agree, and there were indeed a lot of things over there, so he didn't come back." ”
"What about you, I'm afraid you're busier in Yanjing, right?"
"Me?" Zhong Zhengyang laughed, "I'm really busy, but some things are more important than busy, even if I come back in person this time, the matter of Angkor didn't play a role on the old man's side, a little helpless!"
"Don't think about it, it's not your fault. Wu Fan patted him on the shoulder, Nunu mouthed, and said, "Let Xiaofei find a place to wait first, and I'll go to meet the old man by myself." ”
"Okay!" Zhong Zhengyang nodded, took Xiao Fei to a room in the courtyard, and then carried Xiao Fei's sack and accompanied Wu Fan into the second court. The layout of the second court house is much more exquisite than that of the first court, and there are many people living in it, all of whom are standing aside, and they are quite polite when they see Zhong Zhengyang leading Wu Fan in, "The Zhong family is a distinguished guest, and few people have this treatment." Zhong Zhengyang hehe, Wu Fan smiled, and continued to walk inside.
At the door of the third house, Wu Fan saw a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, his eyes flashing with spirit, quite majestic, this is Zhong Zhengyang Zhong Zhengyuan's father, Zhong Botao.
"The distinguished guest came to the door, and the old man was far away. Zhong Botao smiled, Wu Fan hurriedly said: "You're polite, you're polite, Zhengyang Zhengyuan and I are friends, and we also have a lifelong friendship, and it's not the first time I've met my uncle, you came to greet you in person, isn't it too much?"
"It's not an exaggeration at all, you saved the lives of the two dogs, and the old man came to greet him personally, which should have been!"
"This ......" Wu Fan was a little speechless, but Zhong Botao glanced at it, lowered his voice and said: "Boy, are you really willing to welcome you as an old man?
Hearing this, Wu Fan smiled, this is the Zhong Father he is familiar with!
"Uncle, tell me the truth, what kind of attitude does the old man have?" Wu Fan leaned forward, leaned into Zhong Botao's ear and said, Zhong Botao shook his head and smiled, "The old man's attitude doesn't explain the old man's attitude?"
Wu Fan smiled helplessly, pointed to the sack that Zhong Zhengyang was carrying, and said, "Uncle, do you think this can make the old man change his mind?"
"Open it and take a look. Zhong Botao is a little interested, to be honest, he likes Wu Fan very much, he has the ability, the ability, he is frank and not impetuous, and he knows everything, such a young man is friends with Zhengyang Zhengyuan, and it is also of great benefit to their brothers, and besides, this kid has a lot of ability, and he doesn't know how deep his family background is!
is such a young man, the old man still has to stick to his prejudices, and he always refuses to form a deeper opportunity, why bother!
"Uncle, these things are all good things. When the bag was opened, Wu Fan began to sell, but when he saw Father Zhong's wide eyes and the trembling muscles on his face, he knew that he didn't need to say any more!
After all, the Zhong family is an ancient martial arts family with a much deeper background than the Qin family, and the old man Qin knows that it is a treasure thing, so what reason does Father Zhong have not to know? However, seeing Father Zhong's expression, Wu Fan was still a little puzzled, but it was Zhong Zhengyang who was even more puzzled!
Seeing the trembling muscles on his father's face and the wide tiger eyes, Zhong Zhengyang pulled Wu Fan aside and muttered, "Brother Ang, what did you bring with you? The old man's reaction didn't seem to be right?"
"Something is wrong, although things are all good, shouldn't they be so excited?"
"Angkor, you have to be honest, what the hell are those things? It seems that they are just some Chinese medicinal herbs, worthy of the old man's scary?"
"You know what a fart!" Before Wu Fan could speak, Father Zhong slapped him over, "Put it away! These things are not anything, and at some critical moments, they are even more valuable than your life!"
"Really, Dad, tell me about whether Angkor's business can be done, but it all depends on this!" Zhong Zhengyang can be regarded as able to break it, originally he didn't take this burlap bag seriously at all, but what he will say is that it seems that Bao Quan is pressing on this! Father Zhong also sighed, "No matter what, with these things, the old man's side will always loosen up!"
Wu Fan smiled and said, "Uncle, Zhengyang, let's go meet the old man, and save him a long time for the old man." ”
"This way, please. Father Zhong changed his face and walked towards the main hall with Wu Fan.
As soon as he walked to the lobby, Wu Fan saw Old Man Zhong in a robe, who was in his eighties, but he looked like he was in his sixties, in good spirits, and his whole body was peaceful, and he nodded at Wu Fan, "Young man, here." ”
"Here, old man, sit down quickly, let the boy meet!" Wu Fan rushed over with a smile, helped the old man Zhong to walk to the wooden chair on the top, and waited for the old man to sit down, Wu Fan took a few steps back, and bent down respectfully to greet him, the old man Zhong smiled, "Young man, it's too much courtesy, look at your ability, the family is also a big family with a head and a face, and you don't have to be so polite to my Zhong family." ”
"Hehe, old man, even if I am the emperor's son, with your old age, it is enough to be my grandfather, not to mention that I bend down to salute, even if I kneel to salute, it is not considered to be a breach of identity and humiliation!"
"Haha, yes, sit!" the old man laughed.
Wu Fan was not busy sitting down, but said with a smile: "Old man, I didn't bring anything with the kid last time, I felt rude, but this time I didn't dare to come empty-handed, this is a small heart, and I hope the old man will accept it!" After speaking, Zhong Zhengyang opened the burlap bag and presented it to the old man.
The old man just glanced at it, and his originally smiling face narrowed a lot, and then looked and looked, but in the end he just shook his head.
"What, the old man doesn't like it?"
"The gift is too expensive, the old man doesn't dare to accept it!" Old Man Zhong waved his hand, Zhong Zhengyang showed a helpless expression at Wu Fan, and obediently put away the sack.
"The old man laughed, a little local specialty, but it is set aside from the cracks in the stones in the mountains, where can it be valuable?" Wu Fanyun said lightly, but he didn't see Zhong Botao's face shaking, this kid really dared to break blindly, the cracks in the rocks in the mountains? If these things can really be pulled out of the cracks in the rocks in the mountains, he wants to ask which mountain, which crack in the stones?
"Young man, you know whether the gift is expensive or not, the old man only wants to ask one question now, just with the contents of this sack, it can show that your Wu family is more profound than my Zhong family, even unfathomable, in this case, why do you have to ask for the Zhong family?" Old Man Zhong turned around and sat down, but his eyes were like substance, and he pressed straight towards Wu Fan!
Wu Fan looked at it calmly, the Wu family? There are quite a few Wu families in this world, but does it have anything to do with him Wu Fan? Up to now, don't say that there is no family or not, he doesn't even know his own life experience, where did he come from?
Wu Fan was a little bitter and helpless, he really wanted to know his life experience, but just this, the old man in the family still used cultivation as a condition, and refused to confide in him easily, the unfathomable Wu family?
And seeing his complicated smile, Zhong Zhengyang looked a little sideways, Zhong Botao's eyes flashed, only the old man Zhong's eyes were like a sword, and his coercion was unabated, "The Zhong family owes people a good favor, but the Zhong family has a kindness to repay the favor, and they will never be wronged, and the ancient martial arts skills of the Zhong family are not something that anyone can learn if they want to!"
Loud!
Old Man Zhong suspected that his Wu family had ulterior motives and wanted to steal the Zhong family's ancient martial arts skills!
