Chapter 287

"Ai, you can't say that!" As Old Master Zhou spoke, he gestured for them to take a seat and smiled faintly, "Our two families have been business partners for many years. First Young Master Shi and Second Young Master Shi are our guests, and our esteemed guests at that. If word of such neglect were to spread, it would be a laughing stock! Oh right, I haven't asked the two of you, why are you here? "

Shi Fengming stood up and bowed, "Yue — Old Master Zhou, I've let Jingyi down previously. I've let her down! Please allow me to reconcile with her! From now on, I'll treat her well and will never let her suffer again! "

When Old Mistress Zhou heard this, she was about to open her mouth but was stopped by Old Master Zhou's gaze. Old Master Zhou chuckled and said leisurely, "This matter has a divorce agreement, it's not a child's play! Second Young Master Shi, my Jingyi will never return to your Shi family! Don't mention this matter again. If there's nothing else, please leave! Forgive me for not having time to entertain you! "

"Old Master Zhou — —"

"Second Young Master Shi," Old Master Zhou stared at Shi Fengming with a calm and serious gaze. It was as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him, causing him to hold his breath and feel a sense of awe.

"This kind of matter requires both parties to be willing. Now that our Zhou family's attitude is very clear, do you still want to continue pestering us? If you continue like this, it will make things difficult for us! You should go back! If this matter continues, there's no need for you to come again! There's no room for discussion! If you continue to pester us, our Zhou family will abide by the law and will ask the authorities to settle this matter! "

Shi Fengming's expression changed and he looked at Old Master Zhou in disbelief. He looked like the easiest person to talk to, but in reality, he was the most difficult person to deal with! Although his mother-in-law and brother-in-law were angry, at least they showed that they cared. His father-in-law was so cold and indifferent, it was obvious that there was no room for discussion.

"Old Master Zhou, I'm sincerely changing for the better. Let me see Jingyi, maybe she — —"

"Haha, what you think is your business. Our Zhou family's decision is our business, don't you think so? As for meeting Jingyi, there are differences between men and women. Don't even think about it! She is the Young Miss of our family. Her maiden name is not something a man like you can call her by. Don't call her that again in the future. This old man's daughter is not someone to be taken advantage of by others! "Lord Zhou's tone suddenly became fierce.

"We understand what Old Master Zhou means!" Shi Fengju saw that Shi Fengming still wanted to say something, so he hurriedly tugged at Shi Fengming's sleeve. He stood up and cupped his hands with a smile. "We were rude today. We'll take our leave now!"

"Please!" Lord Zhou raised his hand and nodded slightly.

Shi Fengju bade farewell to Madam Zhou and Young Master Zhou and left with Shi Fengming. Although Shi Fengming was unwilling, he could only follow him.

"Big Brother, why did you pull me out?" Shi Fengming raised his hand and gently touched the wound on the corner of his mouth. It was already red and swollen, and it hurt so much that he grimaced.

"What can you do if you don't come out? He's already made things so clear! "Shi Fengju said.

"But I didn't take those two punches for nothing!" Shi Fengming was not convinced. "I took those two punches for nothing and was scolded. In the end, I was still chased out with my face covered in dirt!"

Shi Fengju then asked, "Do you still want to take Sister-in-law back?"

"Of course I do!" Shi Fengming's spirit was lifted. He hurriedly said happily, "Big Brother, do you have a way? Quickly teach me! "

Shi Fengju said, "There's no other way. You just have to make a few more trips!"

Shi Fengming was stunned. He said, "But my father-in-law said that if I continue to pester her, he'll report it to the authorities …"

"You even believe that!" Shi Fengju said unhappily, "That's what he said. It depends on whether you're sincere or not. You really won't pester her just because he said not to?"

Shi Fengming was momentarily confused. After a while, he said, "Big Brother, do you mean that we'll visit her again tomorrow?"

Shi Fengju said, "Not us, but yourself! Find an inn in this county town and stay there. As for what to do, you can decide for yourself! I have to go back! There's only one thing you have to remember. Don't do anything crooked. Don't even think about climbing the wall! Otherwise, it's really over! "

Shi Fengming listened for a long time without saying anything. Then, he said, "Big Brother, you want to go back? I'm alone … "He was still afraid. If his brother-in-law swung his fist again, there wouldn't even be anyone to help him stop it! Those people from the Zhou family really wanted to beat him up.

"Don't worry. He won't do it again tomorrow. Young Master Zhou isn't a fierce and aggressive person! Now, you're the one begging him. If you don't lower yourself, you'll be expecting him to welcome you with open doors! "

"I don't dare to think like that!" Shi Fengming said self-deprecatingly, "I'll thank the heavens if I can bring Jingyi back!"

He sighed and nodded. "Alright! Big Brother, you go back first. Help me keep it a secret from my parents. I'll inform them after I settle things here. "

Although Shi Fengju knew that this matter wasn't very reliable and was even a little ridiculous, he reluctantly agreed when he saw that Shi Fengming was pitiful. He only said, "I don't know how long this matter can be hidden. You have to hurry! After settling things here, I'm afraid that Second Aunt might not agree so easily! "

"My mother is my mother after all. Big Brother, don't worry!" Shi Fengming didn't care at all.

Shi Fengju glanced at him and thought that it was true. He could even elope with a prostitute and run away from home. What else wouldn't he do? Second Aunt was frightened by him even if she wanted to.

After the two brothers parted ways, Shi Fengming brought Shi Lu to stay in the county. Fortunately, he had the foresight to bring medicine to reduce swelling and bruising. It was ready to use!

The next morning, Shi Fengming went to the Zhou family again with half of his face bruised. This time, he couldn't even enter the Zhou family's main door. He waited at the door for a long time. Seeing that it was already noon, his stomach was growling with hunger. He had no choice but to go back to eat. In the afternoon, he recuperated in the inn.

On the morning of the third day, he went again. As usual, he was rejected at the door. This time, he came prepared. In the afternoon, he took out two sesame seed cakes and ate them at the door. He continued to act as the Zhou family's doorman, causing the passersby to take a few more glances at him. Fortunately, he still knew how to save some face for his family and also for the Zhou family. He wore an ordinary long gown made of coarse cloth, and his hair was only tied up with a ribbon, without any jade or gold hairpin. At first glance, he looked like a down-and-out relative who had come to seek shelter but had no connections. Otherwise, there would be more people looking at him. If someone recognized his identity, it would be a lively scene!

Although the Zhou family had closed the door on him for the past two days, Old Master Zhou and his wife were naturally aware of his every move outside. Today, someone reported that Second Young Master Shi was waiting at the door and didn't leave. He brought sesame seed cakes to eat.

Old Master Zhou couldn't help but laugh out loud. He scolded with a smile, "This bastard seems to be sincere!"

"Hmph! I don't believe it! " Old Mistress Zhou said unhappily, "We just got divorced and he changed so drastically in the blink of an eye. No matter how I look at it, it's strange! Old Master, why are you still bothering with him? Get someone to chase him away! Don't let the passersby see him! It'll also make people feel vexed! The Shi family is really ruthless. As the young master of a big family, how could he do such a thing! Pui! "

Old Master Zhou heard her and laughed, "This shows that your daughter is outstanding. Isn't it good to make him change his mind? Sigh, Old Mistress, if he really changed, wouldn't it be good to treat Xiao Yi well in the future? If Xiao Yi doesn't want to marry again, she might still miss him. Are you really going to stop her and let her live the rest of her life in solitude? "

Old Mistress Zhou thought about it and couldn't help but cry. She said, "How could I have the heart to do that? That child has been obedient since she was young. Ever since she could talk and walk, she would stick to me and act coquettishly. We mother and daughter are so close. I love her dearly and only wish for her well! I thought that the Shi family was a good marriage, but who knew that it would ruin her life! But she's so stubborn. Look at her these days. I've been angry and furious, but I just can't do anything to her! Do I feel good in my heart for a while? But it wasn't easy for me to leave that damned place. If I go back, what if there's a next time? Do you really want me to kill myself in front of the Shi family's house? "

Old Master Zhou couldn't help but sigh. His son had been learning to manage the business from him since he was young. Only his daughter stayed by his wife's side. In terms of closeness, he couldn't compare. He could also understand how sad his wife was when she saw that her daughter wasn't living well, but — —

"Why don't we test him again? If he really changes, then we'll fulfill his wish! What do you think, Old Mistress? "

Old Mistress Zhou snorted, "This matter isn't up to him to decide. We have to ask for my daughter's opinion!"

Old Master Zhou smiled and nodded, "Of course. If my daughter isn't willing, of course we can't agree!" He thought to himself, Your daughter's thoughts are all written on her face. There's no need to ask!

Old Mistress Zhou didn't say anything else.

On the third day, the Zhou family's door finally opened. The person who walked out was Young Master Zhou. Young Master Zhou hated Shi Fengming from the bottom of his heart. He was just a second-generation heir, yet he dared to despise his younger sister! Moreover, he was a scoundrel. For the past two days, he had been blocking the main door. His father didn't allow him to chase him away or beat him up. Everyone in the residence, including him, could only enter and exit from the back door. He had been holding back his anger for a long time. Now that he opened the main door under his father's orders, the anger in his heart was still burning.

Shi Fengming's eyes lit up when he saw him. He suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment as if the clouds had parted to see the moon. He quickly came over and smiled, "Eldest — cough, Young Master Zhou!"

"Hmph!" Young Master Zhou's expression was even uglier than Old Mistress Zhou's. He glared at him hatefully and scolded, "What are you doing here? Can't you read? This is our Zhou family's residence, not your Shi family's! Hurry up and go back to Qingzhou. Don't make a fool of yourself here! "

Shi Fengming didn't dare to expect anything good from him. Although he felt a little embarrassed, he didn't get angry or leave in a huff. He simply smiled shamelessly and said, "Young Master Zhou, I'm here to seek an audience with Old Master Zhou and Old Mistress Zhou. I'm here to seek their forgiveness and ask them to help me and Jingyi! Oh, and Young Master Zhou, I also seek your forgiveness! "

Young Master Zhou sneered, "Did you take the wrong medicine? Or have you changed your heart? My younger sister is an evil woman, a vicious woman. Shouldn't you be raising your cup to celebrate her leaving your family? You actually came here! "
