Xie Pinggang had a sincere look on his face. He was afraid that Zhou Weizong would feel that his family had mistreated Master Yu.
Who would have thought that he would be able to meet an acquaintanceâs relative just by looking for a random martial arts instructor?!
Zhou Weizong covered his chest when he heard that, he could not accept it. âD-Donât say that⦠My cousin doesnât want to marry a wife! It wonât work no matter what you say. Heâs all alone. How can he stay in your house? Youâd better find another martial arts instructor. My cousin wants to follow me home!â
Zhou Weizong was very anxious.
He knew what kind of person Xie Pinggang was. He valued loyalty and liked martial arts weapons. For the sake of that big weapon at the academy, he was reading military books!
If he really took a fancy to his cousin, he would have to take her back by force!
Zhou Weizongâs eyes were filled with begging. He looked very pitiful.
Xie Pinggang could not understand. âThis is your cousin. Heâs not a monkey in a cage, and heâs not a child. Why do you need to care about where he goes? Now that this person has come to my house, heâs my man. If you want him to leave, donât even think about it unless you have 30,000 to 50,000 taels of silver!â
âAre you still being unreasonable?!â Zhou Weizong was furious. âMy cousin is only here to be a martial arts instructor. He didnât sign a contract to sell his body! Even if he did, isnât he allowed to redeem himself?!â
âHeh.â Xie Pinggang got someone to serve Zhou Weizong a cup of tea. âDoes the martial arts instructor from your family only work for a few months?â
Zhou Weizong was stifled.
Being an instructor was quite special, especially for a rich family like theirs. If they were to choose an instructor, the instructor would have to teach for at least three to five years.
Especially an instructor who learned martial arts, which was even more important!
As every martial art was different, if the instructor taught too many things, the children in the family who learned would show flaws in their practice.
It was better to be proficient than to learn a hundred things.
âBrother Xie, canât you⦠be flexible given our friendship? My cousinâs life is really hard. Iâll bring him back to the Zhou family to be properly educated. Itâll be easier for him to rise up in the future, right?â
âDonât say that. Itâs impossible to get on good terms with him now. We have to be reasonable.â Xie Pinggang straightened his body. âJust now, you said that with you around, he definitely wonât be sent back to Dongâan. What do you mean by that?â
Zhou Weizong suddenly felt that Xie Pinggang was a cunning bear!
âIf Iâm not wrong, your elders seem to be preparing to send him away? He doesnât have any reliable relatives in Dongâan. Sending him there is just letting him be slaughtered, isnât it?â Xie Pinggang was going straight to the point.
Zhou Weizong was helpless. âI hardly listen to them these years. I will naturally protect my cousin and wonât send him away!â Zhou Weizong quickly expressed his stance.
After saying that, he felt that his mouth was dry and uncomfortable. He hurriedly gulped down a cup of tea, and it tasted a little bitter.
âBrother Zhou, if weâre talking about a business deal, then you have to show some sincerity in our negotiation. Can you⦠watch over your cousin at all times? Or can you make your parents and family listen to you? If they donât like your cousin, you canât stop them, right? If thatâs the case, then donât say things that wonât matter!â Xie Pinggang grinned.
He wanted to take Yu Xian away from him? No way.
Hearing Xie Pinggangâs words, Yu Xian thought it made sense.
The Zhou family had high gates and large, deep courtyards. If she were to go, she would have to wear female clothes and stay in the courtyard obediently, waiting for their arrangements.
By then, if the Zhou family wanted to send her away, she would not be able to escape even if she wanted to!
Although her cousin had some say, he was only a junior after all. When the Zhou family received the letter from her family in Dongâan, he did not have the right to protect her..n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
