After Long Xiangtian returned, Yunniang had not yet gone to bed. She had been watching TV in the hall. When she saw Long Xiangtian coming back, she hurriedly asked, "What did Grandpa say?"
Long Xiangtian shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that you can't go to work now, because didn't I tell you about the Tianlang organization before? Your grandfather said to test the waters first.
Yunniang wailed in pain: "It's so boring to stay in this room every day."
Facing Yunniang's crying, Long Xiangtian could only show a helpless expression: "No matter how bored you are, you can only stay at home honestly, unless you are tired of living."
Yunniang looked at him coldly: "What are you afraid of? I have you to protect me."
He said this as if it was a matter of course. Long Xiangtian walked closer, staring at Yunniang's face with his sharp eyes. He looked for a long while without saying anything.
Yunniang felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. She couldn't help but touch her hot cheek and asked in a low voice, "Is there something on my face?"
Long Xiangtian shook his head and said, "There's nothing on your face, but your face is very big."
Yunniang was a little confused by what she said. It was not a pleasant thing to be told that she had a big face. She couldn't help but get angry, but Long Xiangtian smiled and said, "I'm not your bodyguard. You don't pay me. Why should I protect you?"
This was the truth. Yunniang was speechless. After a long while, she finally said, "I... I didn't pay you, but I took you in. You ate and lived with me. Isn't this money?"
Long Xiangtian sat down next to her helplessly, shaking his head and said, "But I saved your life, and I was injured in the process. Compared to these, it's nothing..." Suddenly, Long Xiangtian glared at Yunniang again, "You make me sound like a gigolo."
Yunniang looked Long Xiangtian up and down, and suddenly said with a smile: "Then I will support you."
Long Xiangtian was drinking water, but he spat it out in one gulp. He stared at Yunniang without blinking and asked solemnly, "Are you going to adopt me?"
Yunniang nodded vigorously at Long Xiangtian and said, "I just happen to be in need of a servant. I see that you are quite qualified. It would be nice if you could drive me a car to relieve my boredom."
"No, how about sleeping with me?" Long Xiangtian stared at a certain place on Yunniang with a greedy look.
"Go to hell." Yunniang pushed Long Xiangtian's face, stood up angrily, stomped her feet hard, ran into the room with a red face, and slammed the door with a "bang".
The fat man walked out of the room in his pajamas and slippers, glanced at the door that was slammed shut, then glanced at Long Xiangtian on the sofa, and jokingly asked, "What did you do to him?"
Long Xiangtian glared at him and said, "Do you think everyone is like you? You are just a pervert. Be careful that you may have guns but no bullets in a few years."
The fat man patted his chest and said with a sly smile: "Don't bother you to worry about this. I eat raw eggs and drink milk every day to replenish water."
"I..."
…
Zhao Manor. Zhao Ziru was sitting opposite Zhao Xuan, with Shen Han standing next to her. Zhao Ziru was a little annoyed: "I'm talking to my grandfather, can you step aside?"
Shen Han thought about it for a while before leaving the room.
As soon as he left the house, Zhao Ziru was furious: "Grandpa, can you please stop him from following me? It's so annoying."
Zhao Xuan smiled and said, "When Long Xiangtian followed you before, you were annoyed at first, but then you didn't have any more problems. I think you are quite..."
Zhao Xuan did not say the rest of the words. As an elder, it was not appropriate for him to say such words, and Long Xiangtian was an extremely sensitive name nowadays.
But Zhao Ziru came back this time to ask questions about Long Xiangtian, and did not dwell too much on Shen Han's question: "Grandpa, how did you find Long Xiangtian in the first place?"
Zhao Xuan frowned and thought for a while before saying, "He contacted me on his own initiative."
Zhao Ziru was even more puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Then how did you know about him, Grandpa? And I remember you said at the time that he was very difficult to hire."
Zhao Xuan said, "Long Xiangtian is a legendary figure in Europe. Grandpa must have heard of him. Ziru, why do you think of asking this?"
Zhao Ziru pursed her lips and said, "Long Xiangtian told me that he was asked by a friend to protect me."
Zhao Xuan frowned after hearing this. Long Xiangtian was the one who contacted him first. According to Long Xiangtian, he recommended himself because he learned that the Zhao family was looking for a bodyguard. Zhao Xuan had doubted his words at the time, but Long Xiangtian was certain of this statement.
How could he, a top soldier, suddenly come to Haizhou and become a bodyguard
After hearing what Zhao Ziru said, Zhao Xuan suddenly realized what was going on and asked, "Did he say who asked him to do this?"
A trace of sadness flashed across Zhao Ziru's face. She took a deep breath and said a name: "Li Long."
"Li Long?" Zhao Xuan's expression became a little uneasy after hearing this name. He sat up from the sofa at once. After the shock subsided, he sat down again and thought about it carefully before asking, "What is the relationship between Li Long and Long Xiangtian?"
Zhao Ziru didn't know much about the relationship between Li Long and Long Xiangtian. She just heard Long Xiangtian say that they were comrades-in-arms. Thinking of this, Zhao Ziru told the truth: "Long Xiangtian said they were comrades-in-arms."
Zhao Xuan sighed deeply, looked at Zhao Ziru, and asked, "You haven't let him go yet?"
Zhao Xuan knew the relationship between Zhao Ziru and Li Long best. The emotional entanglement between them was indeed a headache, especially for the marriage of Li Long and Zhao Ziru, it became the biggest obstacle.
Although Li Long didn't say it, it doesn't mean that he won't have a falling out. He said that the purpose of this trip was to arrange his marriage with Zhao Ziru. If it is shelved because of Li Long, I'm afraid the Yan family will not let it go.
The Zhao family is considered a well-known family in the business world, but it is not comparable to the Yan family. Moreover, the Zhao family can get to where it is today without the support of the Yan family.
If they offend the Yan family directly, all the industries under the name of the Zhao family will face the problem of capital chain shortage, which will create a big hole that cannot be settled with a few hundred million yuan. It is very likely that all of them will be declared bankrupt.
Zhao Xuan had already considered all these consequences when he met Li Long. His actions towards Long Xiangtian were superficial, but Zhao Xuan dared not say anything. He even placed Shen Han with Zhao Ziru, ostensibly to protect her, but no one knew how many tricks were hidden behind it. For the sake of the overall situation, Zhao Xuan still endured and accepted it.
Zhao Xuan knew Li Long's temper. He was not a patient person. The reason he was able to hold back until now was that he did not want to make things too awkward. This would undoubtedly give the Zhao family some face.
However, the sudden news about Li Long caught Zhao Xuan off guard. Based on his understanding of Zhao Ziru, this girl has always been stubborn and will never be easily upset, especially when it comes to marriage.
I could only try to find out what Zhao Ziru had to say. Seeing that she remained silent, I took a deep breath and continued to ask, "You have to know that he left you without saying goodbye. After all these years, has he ever thought of you?"
Zhao Ziru looked up at Zhao Xuan, her expression filled with indescribable sadness, even pain. Back then, Li Long left without saying goodbye, leaving only a letter. Three years had passed since then, and there was no news of him anywhere.
During that time, Zhao Ziru searched everywhere like crazy, but could not find any trace of him. It was as if he had suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth.
How did Zhao Ziru hold on? It was because the letter told her to wait, but she waited for three years. When she finally got news, Long Xiangtian died, which made Zhao Ziru's heart cool again.
Facing Zhao Xuan's questioning, Zhao Ziru was unable to say a word. In her heart from beginning to end, there was only Li Long. She had no feelings for Li Long at all. Although he was very outstanding, for Zhao Ziru, there was no comparison between the two of them.
Zhao Xuan did not continue to ask, because he knew that Zhao Ziru was no longer the same as she was in the past. After experiencing so many setbacks, her character and mind were no longer ordinary. She naturally knew that the marriage with the Yan family was inevitable and there was no room for maneuver.
Zhao Ziru smiled sadly: "I... am still willing to wait for him."
Zhao Xuan was not surprised, and he did not want to force her too much. After all, the marriage of his children was no joke. But he could not let Zhao Ziru live under the shadow of one person forever. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "I won't say much if you are willing to wait, but do you want to wait another three years?"
