He was just like a dog in front of his grandfather

steriously approached Fang Jinshu and pulled her aside, scratching his head in confusion."Sister-in-law, I was just about to search this den for any food supplies. After all, with so many people here,...It's not surprising that Zong Taiwu would appear, because it was Fang Jinshi who lured him here.

She thought for a moment, silently withdrawing her hand from her sleeve.

"Young Master Zong Er"

Wang Zhanggui was overjoyed and busied himself circling Zong Taichu.

"What wind blew you here, Second Master Zong Just now, were you saying that you also want to buy this Guanyin statue"

As soon as Zong Taimu appeared, Wen Xiaorou was stunned and immediately put away her arrogant demeanor, becoming a docile little sheep in seconds.

The arrogant rich girl transformed into a gentle and virtuous lady.

Even Fang Jinshi couldn't help but be stunned for a second, wasn't the most skilled ability of noblewomen in Beijing to change faces

"Young Master Zong Er, you're here."

Fang Jinshu glanced at Wen Xiaorou's expression. She wouldn't think Zong Taimu was here for her, would she

Zong Taiwu was completely dazzled by Fang Jinshu's beauty. As soon as he arrived, Wang Zhuangui and Wen Xiaorou both spoke to him first, but he seemed not to see them, his eyes fixed intently on Fang Jinshu.

She was standing right in front of me, smiling so seductively.

"Beauty, we are truly fated to meet again."

"Last time, this young master was too presumptuous. I wonder if the beauty would give me another chance to make amends"

Fang Jinshu drew the corner of her mouth, a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

But her expression gave nothing away.

"How will Second Master Zong compensate me"

When Zong Taiwu heard that Fang Jinshu didn't refuse, he was overjoyed. Not refusing meant there was hope!

It seems the beauty still has good eyesight, how can someone like Fu Qi, who has no power and only a few stinky coins, be compared to him

"Are you guys fighting over this Guanyin statue"

Fang Jinshui nodded. "I want to buy it as a gift."

Zong Taimu ignored Wen Xiaorou's face that was about to explode with anger and patted his chest boldly.

"This young master gifts this to you!"

Fang Jinxiu shyly glanced in the direction of Wen Xiaorou, deliberately acting weak and gentle.

But, Miss Wen seems to be your fiancée. As a weak woman, how dare I compete with Miss Wen

Fang Jinshu lifted Wen Xiaorou, and Zong Taimu only then discovered that this ugly woman was also there.

Zong Taimu knew about the arranged marriage his father had discussed with him, and he had expressed his dissatisfaction. He liked delicate and beautiful young ladies, not rough women raised in a martial arts family.

Her face was square, her chin could have served as a table. She was the daughter of a rough warrior; no matter how hard she tried to emulate a well-bred lady, there was no escaping her uncouth manners and appearance.

If it weren't for her good fortune of having a father who became a minister of war, Zong Taizhu would have absolutely refused this marriage.

He would rather marry that pretty widow before he met her, at least she was pleasant to look at.

"Oh, you're here too."

Zong Taiwu didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, merely pointed at Wen Xiaorou with a perfunctory nod as if acknowledging her presence.

Then he pulled out a piece of jade from his bosom, glanced at it and gritted his teeth before throwing it into Wang's hand.

"I came out in a hurry today, I didn't bring that much silver. But this jade is quite good, shouldn't it be enough to cover the cost of this Guanyin statue"

This jade was given to him by his maternal grandfather when he came of age.

Normally, Zong Taiwu would flaunt his wealth, but now he was actually broke. However, he had already promised the beauty everything and couldn't take it back. He valued face above all else and didn't want to lose it in front of Fang Jinshi.

He generously gave the jade away.

Thinking that after some time, when he would have his mother's people come to apply pressure on the Baoyu Building, Baoyu would also be back. He had no intention of really giving it away.

Zong Taiwu had only Fang Jinshi in his eyes, wishing he could take people back to his courtyard immediately to enjoy themselves.

Wang Zhanggui took the precious jade and hurried downstairs to pack up the Guanyin statue. Even Wen Xiaorou, a well-bred young lady from a wealthy family, could no longer contain herself.

"Zong Taiwu!"

"What do you mean"

"You, with that woman! Didn't you see she wears a married woman's hairstyle She's taken!"

"You actually ignored me, your fiancée, for this shameless woman"

Winnie Hsiao was so wronged, she felt both anger and resentment.

She knew Zong Taì's reputation wasn't good, but she had never seen it with her own eyes. Today was an eye-opener. He was actually behaving inappropriately with a married woman right in front of her.

Zongtaiwu turned around impatiently.

"Miss Wen, please don't talk nonsense! Our marriage isn't set in stone yet. We haven't even formally agreed to it. How can you call yourself my fiancée"

And even if we were truly already betrothed, what man isn't a polygamist with three wives and four concubines You haven't even entered the house yet and you want to control me

"This young master goes wherever he pleases, and his parents don't care who he's with. Who are you to say anything"

Wen Jia was just a dog in front of his grandfather.blushed shyly and then nodded."Well, since you want to, then we have to go all out." Zhao whispered a few words in Hu Ai-lan's ear.After hearing this, Hu Ailan was stunned, biting her lower lip with a...
