I May Be a Servant, but I'm Not Your Family's Servant!

Zhou Wanwan hadn't seen Shen Wanjun and Cheng Chao for a long time either.

They were eating hotpot in a private room Zhou Wanwan looked at Shen Wanjun and asked, "Shen Wanjun, what have you been busy with lately?"

Shen Wanjun chuckled and said, "Of course I'm busy with the brothel business! Ah! Our brothel..."

Zhou Wanwan asked, speechless, "When did we go to a brothel?"

Shen Wanjun smiled awkwardly and said:

"I just modified a lot of brothels."

The brothels of today are elegant yet tasteful, possessing a unique charm. I'll take you to see them sometime.

Zhou Wanwan had the same idea, and she smiled, "Let's wait until tonight!"

She was also quite curious about what Shen Wanjun had turned the brothel into.

She looked at Cheng Chao and asked, "How have you been lately?"

Cheng Chao sighed helplessly:

"I'm still running the gambling den, but recently the Cheng Family has been targeting me."

The Cheng Family has asked me to go back several times, but I haven't gone.

Zhou Wanwan frowned and asked, "The Cheng Family?"

Cheng Chao nodded and said:

"The Cheng Family is quite influential in the capital; they could be considered a prominent family!"

They said they wanted me to go back and pay respects to my ancestors, but I know perfectly well what they really wanted me to do.

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "It must have been quite difficult for you. Do you regret following me?"

Cheng Chao waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Master, what do you mean by that? Please don't think we're stupid; we two are extremely loyal."

Shen Wanjun chimed in, "No matter what outsiders say, the two of us are your most loyal lackeys."

Chen Ankang walked in from outside and said, "Tch, I'm the master's most loyal lackey."

Cheng Chao's lips twitched. "You're even going to steal this?"

While eating, Chen Ankang said, "Yes! Master, the Brocade Guard is investigating you right now, so you'd better be careful."

Zhou Wanwan said calmly, "It's alright, what's there for me to investigate?"

Chen Ankang nodded. For the Brocade Guard to investigate Zhou Wanwan was like looking for Dahai.

The Brocade Guard are still lurking outside her door!

Zhou Wanwan was eating the spicy hot pot. This hot pot was so delicious, both numbing and spicy.

As she ate, she said, "I remember we recently opened a hot pot restaurant, why isn't it open yet?"

Shen Wanjun said, "We're opening tomorrow, and I must say, this hot pot is really delicious!"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "If the hot pot restaurant opens, it'll be a huge hit. Our country has so many delicious foods."

Cheng Chao, who was standing nearby, said:

"Master, you really know how to eat!"

This includes snacks, hot pot, barbecue, crayfish, grilled fish, milk tea...

Oh my! There are simply too many to count, not to mention the uniquely advantageous geographical conditions of our Dongshan Prefecture.

The produce grown here tastes better than what you'd find elsewhere.

To be honest, if you get used to the food from Dongshan Prefecture, then eating food from other places just doesn't taste the same.

Even the grains grown in Dongshan Prefecture are different from those grown in other places.

This is not an illusion; all of these grains were grown using Zhou Wanwan's spiritual power.

Therefore, that grain is especially fragrant, and the grain grown using that grain as seeds is also of similar quality.

Only then will they find it delicious.

Actually, the grains, fruits, vegetables, and even poultry grown in the villages around Beijing are all very delicious.

Because they all used Zhou Wanwan's spiritual power.

Zhou Wanwan had eaten and drunk her fill, she led them outside.

Little did I know that I would be stopped as soon as I stepped outside.

The students from Jiangnan all looked at Shen Wanjun and said, "Shen Wanjun, you have truly disgraced us Jiangnan students!"

Shen Wanjun looked at the Jiangnan students and said, "Where do you Jiangnan students get the nerve? Besides, what do I have to do with you?"

Ji Huai looked at Shen Wanjun and said, "Brother Shen, why would you make an enemy of us for the sake of a child?"

Shen Wanjun said speechlessly:

"Am I the one who's against you, or do you insist on being my enemy?"

I just wanted to have a meal and take a walk, but as soon as I came out, I disgraced all of you Jiangnan students.

I don't understand how I'm so embarrassing!

The students from Jiangnan shouted loudly:

"Shen Wanjun, don't you even realize how humiliating you've become?"

"Isn't it shameful for you to be working as a servant for a little girl?"

Shen Wanjun rolled his eyes and said:

Did I eat your rice? Or drink your water? Or spend your money?

I've never been your servant, not even as one! That's ridiculous.

Cheng Huaiyu looked at Cheng Chao and said, "The clan wants you to go back. They said if you don't go back, you'll be expelled from the Cheng Lineage Clan."

Someone whispered, "Cheng Chao is actually a member of the Cheng Lineage Clan!"

"I've heard the Cheng Lineage Family is a prominent family! How could they produce someone like this?"

"Zhou Wanwan has three dogs with her, one of which is Cheng Chao, and the other two are Shen Wanjun and Chen Ankang."

"What?! People from the capital are among them! This Chen Ankang is utterly shameless! How can he be so brazen?"

"Such a grown man, yet he's acting like a child's dog."

Cheng Chao looked at Cheng Huaiyu and said:

"Just say what's on your mind!"

"If your Cheng Lineage Clan wants to kick me out of the family, then kick me out! What can I say?"

Cheng Huaiyu looked at Cheng Chao and said:

"Cheng Chao, I know you don't have the talent for studying and you can't pass the imperial examinations."

However, you have business acumen, and the family thinks highly of you. As long as you're willing to come back and help, the family will give you a place in their lives.

Cheng Chao glanced at him indifferently and said:

"You mean the Cheng Lineage Family thinks I have a talent for business?"

Let me Cheng Lineage Family and work for you.

Cheng Huaiyu looked at Cheng Chao and said:

"You'd be better off risking your life for the Cheng Lineage than for a child!"

If we remove you from the family genealogy, you won't even have a genealogy record anymore. How pathetic would that be?

You'd better watch yourself! If you don't come back to the clan with me today, I'll remove your name from the genealogy tomorrow."

This is a threat to Cheng Chao.

Feng Caigu and Cheng Xiao also rushed over. Feng Caigu looked at Cheng Chao and said, "Chao'er, come back with me now. You can't be removed from the family register!"

Cheng Chao glanced at her indifferently and said, "I don't want to Cheng Lineage."

Cheng Xiao shouted loudly:

"You unfilial son! Before, when you were in Dongshan Prefecture, I let you do whatever you wanted."

Now that you're in the capital, do you still want to cause trouble? If you're removed from the family register, you'll be a wandering ghost from now on.

If I die, I'll have nowhere to go.

Cheng Chao rolled his eyes and said, "Father, I can have a separate page for the family genealogy."

Cheng Xiao shouted loudly:

"Bullshit! A separate page for the family genealogy? It's not as simple as you're making it sound! What utter nonsense are you spouting?"

Come back with me now! The Cheng Lineage said that if you don't go back, they'll really remove you from the family register. How embarrassing would that be!

Feng Caigu wiped away her tears and said:

"Chao'er, I'm being laughed at to death by everyone in the clan, and the whole capital is laughing at me."

I'm too ashamed to live now; you must come back to the clan with me today."
