"Why, you kid don't believe I've seen it through?" Old Man Zhao looked at Wang Zi with a smile and asked.

"Grandpa, I'm sure you've seen it through." Wang Zi said with a serious face, but his heart was so weak that he wanted to die and live, so he added, "It is said that life is unknown and death is known, but no living soul in the world can escape a dead word, and every extra moment of life is actually getting closer to death." ”

Old Man Zhao looked at Wang Zi dumbfounded and said, "Such philosophical words, it's hard to imagine that they came out of your mouth." ”

Wang Zi said with an embarrassed face: "Grandpa, I really didn't say this. ”

"Who said that?" Old Man Zhao asked with some curiosity.

"Gongsun Linglong."

"Gongsun Linglong?" Old Man Zhao frowned slightly, he thought about all the people he knew about Gongsun in his mind, but he couldn't figure out who this so-called Gongsun Linglong was, and asked at the moment, "Your woman?" ”

Wang Zi's face was in a cold sweat, his taste didn't seem to be so heavy, right? smiled at the moment: "Grandpa, you misunderstood, that Gongsun Linglong is a female character in the anime "Qin Shi Mingyue" series, her body shape is about the same as her grandfather's, she is very good-looking, if your grandfather likes it, you can go and see it." ”

"......" Zhao Linhan pulled the corners of her mouth, and finally didn't let herself laugh.

Old man Zhao's old face twitched violently, and a woman with the same body shape as him was called very good-looking? Is this an insult to his IQ or an insult to his vision? He felt that he couldn't continue to talk this day, and his mood was expressed in a sentence that young people liked, that is: there are 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart.

So he waved his hand with a dark face and said, "Let's go, let's eat." ”

The place to eat is naturally in the antique hall of Zhao Mansion, still the same as last time, there are five tables, three tables for men and two tables for women, except for Zhao Tingbao and Wei Qianyun, everyone else is there.

When Wang Zi and Zhao Linhan walked over, everyone's eyes fell on the two of them without hesitation, and there was a faint panic in their eyes, and it was no longer like before, only the extremely unfriendly gaze of mockery and contempt, it was obvious that Zhao Tingbao's matter and Wang Zi's wrist had already made these people's nerves tight, and they didn't dare to be so rude to Zhao Linhan...... At least don't dare to overdo it.

Of course, there is no lack of unfriendly glances, most of which are still more subtle, but Zhao Li gritted her teeth, with a posture of wanting to rush over and fight with these two people; Zhao Ming's face was extremely gloomy, and after glancing at the two of them, he looked down at the wine glass in front of him and didn't know what he was thinking.

However, there are also a few friendly glances, such as Zhao Ji's family, because Wang Zi and Zhao Linhan helped Zhao Tingyu intercede last time, they saved Zhao Tingyu's two legs, for this, Zhao Ji's family is still grateful.

"Looks like we're not very popular yet." Wang Zi's expression remained unchanged and he lowered his voice and smiled.

"Get used to it." Zhao Linhan said expressionlessly. If these people give her a good look, it will make her very uncomfortable whether she is in the wrong place.

Still the same as last time, Wang Zi and Zhao Linhan sat in the two empty seats next to Mr. Zhao, and then Mr. Zhao said a few words that sounded nonsense to Wang Zi, and everyone began to eat.

Wang Zi buried his head in eating and feasting, although most of the people around him were people who didn't like each other, but it was undeniable that the food of the Zhao family was still good, which was very much in line with his appetite.

Old Man Zhao glanced at everyone and said loudly: "Everyone, stop, take this opportunity, I want to say a few words." ”

All of a sudden, as if an appointment had been made, except for Wang Zi, who was still feasting, and Zhao Linhan, who was expressionless, everyone's eyes fell on Old Man Zhao, looking like he was listening.

"I'm getting old and I don't have as much energy as I used to......"

Many people's hearts suddenly mentioned, and their faces changed slightly, could it be that Old Man Zhao wants to bring up the old things again, and let Zhao Linhan be the helmsman of this family?

But I heard Old Man Zhao continue: "A few days ago, I proposed to let Han Han help me manage this huge family, with the help of such an excellent young man Wang Zi, I believe that our Zhao family will definitely be able to go to the next level, but Han Han refused, so I will follow her will and stop forcing her......

So many people's hanging hearts have already fallen, as long as it is not Zhao Linhan, a woman with a coffin face, who climbed on their heads to make a threat, then everything else is easy to say.

"Later, after my careful consideration and investigation, I think Tingyu's kid is still good, I want to push him forward first, and then hand over the burden of the Zhao family to him little by little." Old Man Zhao glanced at everyone present and said, his tone was undoubted.

The living room of dozens of people fell into a kind of silence, and everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Tingyu, whose face became a little flushed and trembling slightly because of excitement, but remained silent.

Of course, someone secretly shook their heads when they saw Zhao Tingyu's reaction, this is so unbearable, how to manage the huge Zhao family?

Zhao Ji watched his son react like this, and he was so depressed in his heart, he couldn't wait to slap him over and wake him up! It's naturally a great thing to be so admired by the old man, but you don't have to be so obvious, isn't this pulling hatred for yourself?

Be humble!

So Zhao Ji looked at Old Man Zhao with a serious face and said, "Dad, I think Tingyu is still young and lacks training, will it be too early to push him out at this time?" ”

Zhao Ji said it modestly and symbolically, he knew that no one could change what the old man decided with that tone.

Other people also knew Old Man Zhao's thoughts and understood Zhao Ji's approach, but they were a little uncomfortable in their hearts, so they were silent.

But Zhao Tingyu didn't know, so his originally ecstatic face froze instantly, and he felt overwhelmed when he looked at his father, and felt this grievance in his heart.

Old Man Zhao waved his hand and said: "It is precisely because of the lack of training that I want to push him to the front to accept a little more training, this matter has been decided, there is no need to mention it, when I celebrate my seventieth birthday in two days, I will announce this matter to the public, okay, everyone continue to eat." ”

So as if nothing had happened, everyone continued to eat, and continued to talk about some big things that seemed to be awesome, and during this period, they didn't forget to congratulate Zhao Tingyu with a smiling face, and they were full of flattery.

After eating a meal with their own thoughts, everyone left on their own, Wang Zi took Zhao Linhan's hand, and the two walked in the huge Zhao family's old house.

Wang Zi stopped and looked at Zhao Linhan, as if he was about to make an important decision: "Hanhan, it's still early, I think it's ......"

"Speak normally." Zhao Linhan said expressionlessly.

“…… Well, I think now is the best time to go to the northwest corner, don't you think? Wang Zi said with a flattering smile.

"Then go ahead." Zhao Linhan looked at Wang Zi expressionlessly and said, "Don't be too disappointed when you see it, there is an overgrown ruin, and in the corner is a small black thatched house left over from before, and there is nothing else." ”

"Maybe there will be unexpected gains." Wang Zi smiled, "This kind of thing may not be said." ”

Saying that, Wang Zi vigilantly swept the surroundings, but did not find anyone else, and then whispered: "Hanhan, hurry, let's hurry over while there is no one now." ”

"......" Zhao Linhan rolled his eyes and wanted to slap Wang Zi to death, how could he act like a thief?

As Zhao Linhan said, compared with the rest of the antique Zhao Mansion, this corner really has the difference between hell and heaven, there are no pavilions, no birds, no flowers, no ancient paths, but it looks like a barren grass is bleak and dilapidated, there is garbage and debris everywhere, and there is a very strange question in the air.

"That's the smell of." Zhao Linhan said with a frown, and then pointed to the small black house not far away, "Decades ago, there was no so-called toilet or anything, they were all this kind of thatched houses, but I didn't expect that it had been so long, and the smell was even more unpleasant." ”

"It stinks, indeed." Wang Zi said, "Why don't you go back first, don't worry, I'll give it to you after I find something good." ”

"......" Zhao Linhan looked at Wang Zi with wide and beautiful eyes and didn't speak.

"I know I can't convince you." Wang Zi rubbed his nose and said.

"Wang Zi, what is the purpose of your coming here?" Zhao Linhan asked.

"Remember the cockroach I shot with a coin in your room in the middle of the night?" Wang Zi looked at Zhao Linhan and asked.

"Yes." Zhao Linhan said, "You told me that the cockroach is the ear and eye Gu, and someone uses it to monitor my every move." ”

Wang Zi nodded and said, "That's indeed an ear and eye Gu, but there is one thing I didn't tell you, in fact, there is not just one cockroach, but two." ”

"Two?" Zhao Linhan's eyebrows raised slightly.

"I shot one of them with a coin, and the other one was hit by me with a small, sticky tracker, and I didn't use too much force, so the cockroach didn't hang up on the spot, at most it just fainted." Wang Zi explained.
