Chapter 178 Unforgettable That Night
This is Zhou Xiaomeng's first time to Zuihonglou, but she is no stranger to everything here.
During the time when the original owner was neglected by her husband, she used to place her passion for gambling and romantic places. The Zuihong Mansion was her favorite place.
It was also here that she decided to sell those disobedient husbands to Zuihonglou. They had beautiful skins but had thorns that she would not be allowed to touch. They were not as obedient and sensible as the little husbands from these dirty places.
I remembered that when I first came here, it was Hong’s mother who went to Xiaohe Village with thugs to kidnap people. She was beaten up and scolded and left.
Nowadays, things have changed, and she is no longer the poor person she used to be who couldn't even afford ten taels of silver.
From the moment she stepped into Zuihonglou, countless pairs of eyes stared at her, ogling her and even coming up to hold her arm. However, they were frightened by the cold air coming out of her body.
Dare to do it again.
She went straight to the second floor and said to Mama Hong at the top of the stairs.
"Mother Hong, long time no see."
"Hey, where did I think this distinguished guest came from? It turns out to be Xiaomeng. It's been a long time since I last saw you. Why did you suddenly think of me today?"
Mother Hong was startled for a moment, her face was complex and changeable, and finally she was full of smiles, and she hurriedly waved to the little brothers around her.
"What are you still doing? You've been talking about bad guests all day. Look, there's a rich and elegant man right in front of you. Why don't you hurry up?"
The boys, who didn't know what to do at first, swarmed in after hearing this, and in an instant they surrounded Zhou Xiaomeng.
Zhou Xiaomeng was caught off guard and was beaten up by several boys.
After finally breaking free, she scolded these people with a cold face to stay away.
"Hey, why don't you go away, Xiaomeng, what's the matter? Now that I have money, I don't like these things anymore. It doesn't matter, I have better ones here."
As he said that, he turned to wink at a young man on the side and said, "Call Yun Lan."
Hearing the name Yunlan, Zhou Xiaomeng remembered what happened in Shifu and hurriedly spoke out.
"Mother Hong, don't bother me. I'm not here to patronize you. I want to change places. I have something to say to Mother Hong."
Mother Hong was startled for a moment, looked at Zhou Xiaomeng carefully with her triangular eyes, then waved to her subordinates, and then looked at Zhou Xiaomeng.
"If you're not here to patronize me, are you trying to sell your husbands to me again?"
Seeing that Zhou Xiaomeng's expression suddenly turned bad, she laughed and laughed again.
"I was just joking, don't be offended."
Then he took Zhou Xiaomeng to a private room on the second floor.
Zhou Xiaomeng didn't waste time with Hong's mother and got straight to the point after sitting down.
"Mother Hong, since you know my current identity, you must also know my relationship with Yunxi and Qingning. Mother Hong should understand the purpose of my coming.
I just asked Mother Hong, can you take back the deed between Yunxi and Qingning and give it to me?"
Mother Hong paused while pouring tea. The tea poured on the back of her hand, which seemed to be burnt. She quickly wiped it with a handkerchief, then calmed down and said.
"Xiaomeng, the deed between Yun Xi and Qing Ning was for Yun Lan to leave. I originally thought that he was sending it to them as a brother, so I didn't take it to heart. It was only after today's incident that I found out that Yun Lan was leaving.
Lan gave the deed to the boss of Shizhong Jade.
I don’t know what’s going on between you and Shi Zhongyu, but although Boss Shi is very wealthy, he’s also a ruthless person. Although I want to help, I can’t help him.”
Zhou Xiaomeng seemed not to have expected that this was what happened.
Thinking back to Yun Lan's appearance, she was not a good person. They were all in this dirty place. Logically speaking, they should be considerate of each other, but Yun Lan knew that she and Yun Xi were acquainted, yet she still seduced her.
Moreover, he helped Shi Zhongyu plot against herself and her husband. Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaomeng had no good impression of Yunlan.
Taking a long breath to suppress the anger in her heart, she looked at Mother Hong again.
"Mother Hong, please help me analyze what should I do to get the deed between Yunxi and Qingning?"
"Sorry, I really can't help."
Mother Hong's eyes moved, but they were quickly submerged. She shook her head and looked like she didn't want to get involved.
Zhou Xiaomeng knew that Mother Hong didn't want to provoke Shi Zhongyu. After all, Shi Zhongyu had a reputation as a wolf in Zhongshan. If she provoked him, it would be enough to drink a pot.
"Then I'll take my leave."
Zhou Xiaomeng confirmed here that the deed was indeed taken away by Shi Zhongyu, and he had a direction. As for the other things, it was not easy to ask too much.
He took out a piece of silver and put it on the table before leaving.
Mother Hong's eyes lit up when she saw Yinzi, and she thought of something again. She seemed to want to speak, but she still didn't.
Zhou Xiaomeng is no longer what she used to be, so she doesn't want to neglect him and sends her downstairs in person.
Just when they were about to leave Zuihong Mansion, Hong’s mother spoke anxiously again.
"Xiaomeng, no, I mean Boss Zhou, don't you know how good Yunxi and Qingning are?"
Seeing the wariness between Zhou Xiaomeng's brows, she hurriedly said.
"I know you are the one who helped them deal with me. In fact, I was also deceived by lard and provoked, so I did that to Yun Xi.
Speaking of which, I watched this kid Yunxi grow up, and I trained him with my own hands.
I complained about him before, thinking that he was pretending to be aloof. Now that he is in this red building, he should accept customers and make more money like other brothers.
Still treating him like that.
Later, he got sick. In fact, I suspected that he got it from having an affair with other young masters behind my back, so I did what I did to him.
Later, he really left. No one from the Red House dared to disobey me anymore. They all accepted customers resignedly. However, the business was not as good as when he was there. How many people came here just to listen to him playing the piano.
, he likes to write songs, and he can play the piano. Every time he plays a piece of music, he amazes everyone. Many of my brothers are fascinated by him.
So later I asked Qing Ning to let him steal a piece of music and I really agreed at that time and gave them the deed.
But I didn't expect that something like that would happen later.
I know that I am not a good person in many ways, and I have done many wrong things, but I really don’t know about this matter.
When you see Yunxi and Qingning, talk to them and tell them not to hate me."
Hong's mother seemed to have changed a lot. Zhou Xiaomeng was in a daze for a while, and couldn't believe that the person in front of him who said these affectionate words was actually Hong's mother.
Mother Hong seemed to notice her doubts, wiped away her tears, and couldn't help but say.
"People will change. I used to think that my world was here, so I just wanted to make these people accept their fate and make more money for me. But now, what is the use of having so much money?"
Mother Hong wiped away her tears, but unexpectedly more tears came out.
"Retribution, everything is retribution."
Mother Hong whispered, smiled at Zhou Xiaomeng, and then turned back to Zuihong Mansion.
Zhou Xiaomeng felt that there seemed to be something behind Mama Hong's words, but she didn't care.
When they were going out, they bumped into someone who had just gotten off the carriage. When their eyes met, Zhou Xiaomeng and the visitor were stunned.
Zhou Xiaomeng tried hard to suppress the anger in her body, so she didn't swing out her clenched fists. She thought she would just restrain herself, but she didn't expect the man to call her from behind.
"Boss Zhou."
Zhou Xiaomeng stopped and clenched the hand he had just let go into a fist again.
Turning around, he looked at Yun Lan who had also turned around and said patiently.
"Is something wrong?"
"Boss Zhou, aren't you a little angry?"
Yunlan covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled softly.
"What do you want?"
Zhou Xiaomeng wanted to hit Yunlan's disgusting face with her fist several times, but she kept repeating in her heart that a good woman won't fight with a man, so she held back.
"Brother Yunlan, what's wrong?"
Yun Sheng supported Yun Lan, and when he saw Yun Lan turning around to look at Zhou Xiaomeng, he couldn't help but ask.
"I saw an acquaintance and couldn't help but want to say a few more words. You should go back first. You've been tired for a long night and have a good rest."
Yun Lan patted Yun Sheng on the shoulder, then turned around completely to look at Zhou Xiaomeng.
Yun Sheng looked Zhou Xiaomeng up and down, and seeing that Zhou Xiaomeng looked good, he thought he was the benefactor of Yun Lan's favor. Although he was a little moved, he didn't say much and turned back to the building in three steps.
"Finally, get back quickly, otherwise I may not be able to control myself from beating you up."
Zhou Xiaomeng gritted her teeth, glanced at Yunlan angrily several times, and was about to leave.
"Boss Zhou, I know why you came here, and I also know that you want to kill me now. But Boss Zhou, I still want to say a few more words. Instead of acting like this, why didn't you think of taking that Yunxi away?"
Where is it?
In the name of letting him do the work? Does Boss Zhou really not know what Yun Xi is thinking, or is he pretending not to know?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Yunxi and Qingning are my friends. Besides, he relies on his own efforts to make a living. Isn't he a hundred times better than people like you who sell yourselves at such low prices?"
Yunlan's expression turned grim, and she tightened her hand on the handkerchief, but then she smiled again.
"Yes, Boss Zhou is right, we are selling ourselves at a low price, but how much more noble is Boss Zhou than us?
You know Yunxi's feelings for you, but you don't accept or reject them. You just tie Yunxi up and work for you. How are you better than me?
Yes, I sold the deed between Yunxi and Qingning to Boss Shi, but Boss Shi really loves Yunxi.
By the way, you don’t know yet, right?
Boss Shi is the first woman in Yunxi, by the way, she should be the only woman.
We men all have deep feelings for our first woman. I think Boss Zhou’s unwillingness to accept Yunxi means that Yunxi is not perfect. In this case, Yunxi’s best choice is to follow Boss Shi.
As for Qingning, he will not leave Yunxi, so he has no choice but to follow Boss Shi."
