Dad, Have You Finally Seen the Light?

Zhou Wanwan asked in surprise, "Where did you buy all these stones?"

Cheng Chao looked at her and said:

"It was bought from the Jianghu Alliance. The things in the Jianghu Alliance are all kinds of strange and wonderful."

A few days ago I was planning to buy some betrothal gifts, but I saw these things in the Treasure Pavilion.

I noticed you really like sparkly things, so I bought this as a gift for you.

Zhou Wanwan looked at Cheng Chao and said, "That's very thoughtful of you. I like it very much."

After Cheng Chao left, Zhou Wanwan looked at Zheng Xing'an and asked, "What do you think of Cheng Chao?"

"Things are going pretty well now, it's just that his mother is quite annoying."

He started yelling and shouting at home early in the morning, and even wanted me to bring him tea and water.

Cheng Chao completely ignored her.

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "As long as Cheng Chao is on your side, there won't be any problems."

Zheng Xing'an nodded and said:

"I've always found it strange, what was he thinking?"

Logically, our relationship should be adversarial, so I asked him about it yesterday.

Zhou Wanwan asked, "What was his answer?"

Zheng Xing'an said:

He said he had a very strange dream in which he was constantly going against you and eventually died a gruesome death.

The confiscation of property and the exile of officials were both like a nightmare.

When he woke up, he decided that he would treat you as his master for the rest of his life and would never betray you.

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "No wonder he's so perceptive! Tell him not to worry, as long as he doesn't betray me, I won't treat him unfairly."

"I know, he's very sensible!"

After Zheng Xing'an finished speaking, she went downstairs to prepare lunch.

Zhou Wanwan was just about to take a nap when she heard that Zhou Fusheng, Liu Su'e, and her brothers had arrived.

Zhou Wanwan dashed out in one stride, and Liu Su'e looked at her and said, "Slow down, slow down, why are you acting like a child?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "Haven't I seen you in a long time? Mom and Dad, it's so hot in the summer, would you like some iced drinks?"

Zhou Fusheng scratched his head and asked, "What's an ice bowl?"

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Wait a moment, I'll have someone bring some out."

Soon someone brought out the bowl of ice.

The bowl is filled with yogurt, which smells fragrant and rich, and is topped with Manman of various fruits and toppings.

One bite and it's icy cold, sweet and sour, fragrant and rich, refreshing and not greasy at all, so delicious you can't stop eating it.

Zhou Qingchen ate a bowl and said, "Delicious, so delicious! I really want another bowl!"

Zhou Fusheng nodded repeatedly, looking pitifully at Zhou Wanwan and said, "How about we get another bowl?"

Liu Su'e glared at them and said, "This stuff is too cold, you shouldn't eat too much. Wanwan, you should eat less too."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "I only drink one bowl at noon. By the way, is there something you need from me?"

Zhou Fusheng then said casually, "The old family home wants us to go back for a wedding banquet. What do you think, should we go or not?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "You're talking about Zhou Mei's wedding, right? Do you want to go?"

Zhou Fusheng said:

"What your mother and I mean is, there's nothing wrong with going to see what's going on."

They're just eating and drinking for free, so they won't do anything that requires us to pay.

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said:

"Father, you've had an epiphany now!"

"Then let's go see the excitement together! I love free entertainment!"

She hasn't even gotten to see the excitement yet!

Old Madam Zhou and Old Man Zhou arrived with a group of people.

Old Madam Zhou looked at Zhou Fusheng and said, "Fusheng! You're here too! I happen to have something to discuss with you!"

Zhou Fusheng looked at her and said, "Mother, is there something you need?"

Old Madam Zhou smiled and said:

"I came here to see Wanwan."

Wanwan! I heard you started some kind of food delivery service, and now a lot of wealthy families are using it.

Zhou Wanwan looked at her with a smile and said, "Yes! Do you also have this need?"

Old Madam Zhou looked at her and said:

"Of course, Zhou Wanwan, you'll take care of the banquet."

I heard there's some kind of "Unrivaled Imperial Banquet" that costs 100 taels of silver per table, and that's what we want.

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "Yes, yes, one hundred taels of silver per table. How many tables do you plan to have?"

Old Madam Zhou frowned, nodded, and said, "Then let's have 100 tables!"

Zhou Wanwan laughed and said, "Wow! You've struck it rich! 100 tables would cost 10,000 taels of silver. How do you plan to pay?"

Old Madam Zhou was taken aback and said, "What? This is your cousin's wedding. We're all family. Why are you talking about money?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and laughed, "We're all family, there's no need to invite anyone, why would we invite anyone?"

Old Madam Zhou choked and said, "Nonsense! If I don't host a dinner party, how will the money from the gift money go back to me?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at her, puzzled, and said, "What does your asking for money have to do with me? Why should I treat you?"

Qian Huihui, who was standing next to her, said:

"Wanwan, didn't you just order some takeout?"

Then the relatives started complaining, saying, "You've made a lot of money, but you won't let everyone have a taste."

Everyone says your takeout tastes amazing...

Zhou Wanwan said calmly:

"That's strange, why did I want them to try it?"

When they drove us out of Zhou Family Village, why didn't they think of helping us out?

"So, if I want to order takeout, I have to just hand it over to them? What a pipe dream!"

Qian Huihui coughed and said:

Aren't they all family?

There's no distinction between family and relatives, especially since those relatives were quite good to your father when you were young.

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up instantly:

You mean we're not distinguished between each other?

So that means all the money in those relatives' homes belongs to me?

"Can I just take things from those relatives' houses?"

Qian Huihui looked at her and said:

I know you understand, but we all just want to get together and have some fun.

If you don't want to, we won't force you.

Zhou Wanwan replied crisply and decisively:

I'm willing to let them eat it!

"You only need to pay the money, it's just ten thousand taels. You pay up, and I'll arrange it right now."

Old Madam Zhou said angrily:

"Zhou Fusheng, aren't you going to do anything about your daughter? I just wanted to make things lively, is that wrong?"

It's just ten thousand taels of silver. What does ten thousand taels of silver mean to your family?

I heard that Zhou Wanwan's takeout business makes tens of thousands of taels of silver a month!

"With so much money, can your family afford to spend it all?"

Zhou Fusheng smiled wryly:

"Don't tell me you don't need this money; none of us would use a child's money."

Wanwan did all of this on her own. Even her parents wouldn't dare use the money she worked so hard to earn.

Old Madam Zhou's expression changed:

Fourth brother! What do you mean by that?

Does this mean your family's fortune will all go to this money-losing brat in the future?
