“Sigh, I have no choice. I have a family and expenditures now.” Zhou Yun sighed.

“What family is that that can make you break your principles?” Zhao Shi smacked his lips and shook his head.

Then, Zhao Shi suddenly looked at Zhou Yun and asked, “Little Senior, don’t tell me you’re keeping a man? That expensive? How many do you have?

“Wait, you insisted on me buying a house for you overnight yesterday. You can’t have gotten a husband?” Zhao Shi’s eyes widened in curiosity.

Zhou Yun rolled her eyes at Zhao Shi and said unhappily, “Do you think that everyone is like you, who likes to play the role of a flirtatious doctor and a pretty widow?”

Zhao Shi rubbed his nose in embarrassment and said, “Little Senior, don’t hold on to these words that I said when I was young and insensible. It’s so embarrassing.”

“Cut the crap. Hurry up and settle the matter.” Zhou Yun didn’t waste her breath on Zhao Shi. She was there that day to sell medicine. The house the previous day had cost her 50 million yuan. She was almost dirt-poor.

“Don’t worry, Little Senior. I’ll handle this properly.” Zhao Shi hurriedly nodded. “Also, find a time to transfer the ownership of this house. Otherwise, it can get messy.”

“I’ll put it under your name for the time being. It’s not convenient for me to appear now,” Zhou Yun said.

Zhao Shi’s eyes lit up, and he said with an evil smile, “Little Senior, do you trust me that much? Aren’t you afraid that I won’t return your house when I take possession of it?”

Zhou Yun’s expression was calm as she said confidently, “You’re not that stupid.”

Of course, Zhao Shi would not be so stupid. How could a mere 50 million yuan house compare to Zhou Yun’s commission for selling pills?

Ever since he had left the sect three years ago, Zhao Shi spent most of his time in various pharmaceutical companies. He also helped Zhou Yun sell medicine and went on dates with the girls he liked. He lived an unfettered life and did not want to lose a good supplier like Zhou Yun.

After Zhao Shi left, Zhou Yun ordered a pot of sake for herself. Before she could enjoy herself, she received an unfamiliar text message.

“Zhou Yun, your father suddenly fell ill. Come to the Zhou residence quickly.”

Zhou Yun scoffed as she read the message. She had already felt that something was amiss when Zhou De and Chen Shu left the house. It turned out that they were trying to use Zhou De to lure her over.

Zhou Yun leisurely took a sip of wine and slowly stood up.

Although she didn’t think that anything would happen to Zhou De in the Zhou residence, she was still prepared to make a trip there. She wanted to see what the Zhou family was up to that day.

At this time, Fu Nan had already brought Fu Sen and Song Zhi and was seated in the Zhou family’s living room.

Facing Fu Nan and Fu Sen, who had their own aura, Liu Huan was feeling jittery, especially since Zhou Yun had not arrived yet. She was not confident at all.

“Sister, I’m here today to propose marriage once more. Don’t you think these two children are messing around? How can this engagement be called off just like that? Don’t you think so?” Fu Nan tried his best to be as amiable as possible.

“Old Master Fu, you’re right. This granddaughter of mine is indeed spoiled. I’ve said it countless times, but she’s very stubborn. The child is still young and playful. She doesn’t know that we, as her elders, are the ones who are truly doing it for her own good,” Liu Huan said with a pained expression.

Standing behind Fu Sen, Song Zhi, who was holding on to the wheelchair, couldn’t help but sneer to himself. This old lady packaged it so beautifully, but, in the end, it was all for the Fu family’s dowry.

Fu Sen, on the other hand, had on a cold expression since he entered. However, his eyes would look around from time to time, subconsciously searching for a trace of the Zhou family’s eldest daughter.

Firstly, he wanted to meet this girl who might be able to save his sister. Secondly, he was curious as to what the girl with the cold and aloof voice on the other end of the phone looked like.

This was the main reason he was willing to accompany his grandfather.

“Yes, yes, yes. You’re right. This child is young and isn’t worldly. In our era, meeting each other once meant staying together for a lifetime. Now times are different, and they still have to cultivate feelings. But don’t worry, my grandson has a good character. He will definitely treat your granddaughter well.” Fu Nan praised Fu Sen as he chatted, trying to leave a good impression on his in-laws.

After saying that, Fu Nan looked up at his surroundings and asked curiously, “Why isn’t your granddaughter here yet? Is she not here today?”
