Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Zhou Family [Shangzhai Xiaoa Dream Million Reward Plus Update]

Zhou Jingyuan and Lu Xiaobu said goodbye to Wang Gou and then started walking towards Xiaobu’s home.

And as they got closer to the Zhou Family residence,

Lu Xiaobu keenly noticed that the fiery chili pepper Zhou Jingyuan was gradually disappearing, becoming more and more dignified.

And with that disappearance, the smile on her face vanished, even a hint of fear flickering in her eyes.

This caused Lu Xiaobu’s brow to furrow.

So this feisty chili pepper is actually afraid of something.

But before he had the chance to ask...

They had already arrived!

It was an ancient-looking courtyard house.

This courtyard, with its antique charm, showed no sign of modernization, like a Shangri-La amidst the steel jungle of the city.

But clearly in this era, it’s impossible to say that no one uses modern electrical appliances.

So there’s only one possibility: this courtyard has been meticulously sculpted by craftsmen to erase all traces of modernization!

For the Zhou Family to own a standalone, delicately managed courtyard house in the center of Imperial City, their power and influence were obvious.

At this moment, the entrance to the Zhou residence was filled with various luxury cars like Maseratis, Lamborghinis, Bugatti Veyrons, and more, displaying an overwhelming presence.

”Clang clang!”

Before they could park, Zhou Jingyuan’s car window was violently knocked upon.

This was a burly old maid who knocked while shouting: ”My young lady! Hurry up! The old master is already angry! He just scolded me, saying I shouldn’t have let you go out on my own!”

Zhou Jingyuan showed a wry smile, opened the car door, and stepped out: ”Mom Wang, here I am back!”

”Let’s go!”

Wang Gou grabbed Zhou Jingyuan’s hand and hurried toward the Zhou residence.

”Mom Wang, wait, let me say a word to my friend,” Zhou Jingyuan said with a bit of struggle.

”What’s there to say! No more talking, hurry up! Miss, if the old master really gets angry later, it’ll all be too late! By then, I bet your friend won’t have a good time either!”

Wang Gou exerted a bit more strength in her hand, causing the unprepared Zhou Jingyuan to stumble.

Hearing Mom Wang’s words, Zhou Jingyuan no longer resisted and obediently followed her.

But she turned back and cast a pitiful look at Lu Xiaobu, her mouth opened as if to speak, but no words came out.

From the moment Mom Wang knocked on the car window to when Zhou Jingyuan was pulled away, only a few seconds passed.

And in that time, Lu Xiaobu hadn’t yet understood what was happening when Zhou Jingyuan was already taken away!

But that last look she gave—he saw it!

That look, sharp as a knife, deeply pierced his heart.

This always fiery and fearless chili pepper, what had happened to her today?

”Let’s go, go inside,”

Lu Xiaobu glanced at the imposing Zhou residence and said to Liang Lan and the other two people.

Initially, he was just keeping a playful attitude, but it seemed that today he might really have to play the part of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven and cause a scene in heaven!

Upon reaching the entrance.

”Ladies and gentlemen, please halt, kindly display your invitations.”

Lu Xiaobu and his group were politely stopped by the security guard at the door.

The Zhou Family were not only wealthy in property but in businesses as well.

The security guards at the door, elite guards dressed in black suits with headsets, had a distinguished air about them.

It’s said that those security guards have an annual salary of over a million, surpassing many high-level white-collar workers.

”We don’t have invitations, Miss Zhou invited us over,”

Liang Lan stepped forward and said.

”Sorry, without an invitation, please wait to the side until the person who invited you can come and fetch you,”

The security guard’s words remained polite, but they carried an undertone of impatience.

The entire Imperial City knew that today was Miss Zhou’s engagement ceremony.

Thus, there will always be those who try to bluff their way in by hiring a few impostors claiming to be from noble families.

Really, if you’re going to hire help, at least hire a few more people, having just three is so poor!

”Didn’t you see us getting off Zhou Jingyuan’s car just now?”

Lu Xiaobu frowned, what’s this all about?

”Sorry, we didn’t see that. If Miss Zhou really invited you, please give her a call and ask her to come out to meet you.”

The bodyguard continued to block the way.

But his tone was still very polite and showed good manners.

At this time, a middle-aged man got out of a Maybach, wearing a Swiss watch, a Hermès belt, and exuding wealth, walked over.

He glanced at Lu Xiaobu and sneered: ”Young man, the Zhou Family’s doors aren’t something you can just walk into whenever you want. It took me twenty years of struggle to earn the right to walk through these gates with dignity, and you, go struggle for twenty years before talking about it.”

After saying this, the middle-aged man walked up, arm in arm with a woman dressed in a cheongsam, with delicate makeup, her chin held high, and her face full of arrogance, like a proud canary.

”Director Li, you have arrived, please come inside.”

The bodyguard obviously recognized Director Li and hurried to greet him.

Lu Xiaobu’s face showed a trace of impatience.

These bodyguards can be said to be doing their duty!

But that so-called Director Li, quite arrogant, huh!

This scene made Liang Lan’s face darken.

Director Li, is it!

She narrowed her eyes and took out her phone, fiddling with it.

Those familiar with her knew that Liang Lan was looking up information on this so-called Director Li!

Dare to look down on Young Master Bu?

And at that moment.

A girl came over and asked, ”Are you from Shimen?”

Lu Xiaobu turned around and saw a woman in her twenties, dressed in a professional suit, flesh-colored stockings, and looking incredibly capable, getting out of a Maserati, slamming the car door, and throwing the keys to the bodyguard.

The whole set of moves was effortlessly stylish, and one could faintly see what Zhou Jingyuan would look like when she grew up.

If it’s not unexpected, this should be a relative of Zhou Jingyuan.

The bodyguard took the car keys from the woman and hurriedly greeted:

”Miss, good day!”

”Xiao Li, you park the car today, remember to park it in spot number one.”

”...”

The previously stern-faced bodyguards were now vying to please this woman.

Clearly, this woman held a high position in the Zhou Family.

This woman was none other than the Zhou Family’s Miss—Zhou Jingya.

”Yeah, from Shimen.”

Seeing the beautiful woman, a bit of Lu Xiaobu’s impatience dissipated.

Nice, easy on the eyes.

That little girl Zhou Jingyuan will probably turn out this way when she grows up.

Of course, when it comes to weapons, Zhou Jingyuan’s are much bigger!

”Then go on in,” Zhou Jingya said casually: ”It’s normal for the little sister to have a few friends here. You can talk to her and make her happy.”

After speaking, Zhou Jingya walked in with large strides, not giving Lu Xiaobu another glance.

Hearing Zhou Jingya’s words, the bodyguards no longer stopped them.

”Since the Miss said so, go on in.”

”You’re really lucky.”

Lu Xiaobu didn’t bother to fuss with these bodyguards and strode into the Zhou Family.

Since he came specifically to slap faces, let that so-called Director Li be the first!

However, just because he didn’t bother with the bodyguards didn’t mean Zhang Meng and Li Jin wouldn’t take issue with the bodyguards!
