Rescue the hero who was imprisoned by the cannon fodder sister

Chapter 176 Is it so great to be rich?

One day before Qingming Festival, Zhou Niantang was so busy that he didn't return home until after ten o'clock in the evening.

As soon as I entered the door, I met Uncle Sun and the family doctor.

Seeing Sun Bo politely escorting the doctor to the living room door, Zhou Niantang quickly asked him, "Who is feeling unwell?"

"Don't worry, Miss Second. It's just that the gentleman is feeling a little dizzy. Doctor Li came to check him out and found that his blood pressure is a little high. He has taken medicine and there is no serious problem."

It doesn't sound like a big problem, but Zhou Niantang knows that Zhou Tonglin has been very obedient in taking medicine in recent years, so how could his blood pressure suddenly be high?

She quickly climbed up the stairs and went all the way to her old father's room. She knocked on the door, but no one answered.

She turned around a little angrily and walked to the door of the study. Sure enough, she saw her old father with high blood pressure still sitting at the table reading some documents, and his face did not look very good.

"dad!"

Zhou Tonglin was originally looking at the contents of the document, feeling furious. However, when he heard his little daughter's voice, the anger on his face disappeared for the most part.

"Why did you come back so late? Didn't I tell you not to get too tired?"

Zhou Niantang felt that his ability to turn the tables was inherited from his father.

She walked to the table and pressed the document in front of Zhou Tonglin on the table with one hand, "Uncle Sun said you were dizzy. Why don't you go and rest?"

Zhou Tonglin had a wry smile on his face. He was not dizzy at all, he was just angry. He was angry at the man named Bai.

But it’s not good to let my younger daughter know these things.

He closed the file and said, "I'm not dizzy anymore. I'll go to rest after reading this."

Zhou Niantang still looked at him suspiciously, "Are you sure? Don't you want to continue working when you return to the room later?"

"How can I do that? I have to get up early tomorrow to visit the graves."

Speaking of this, Zhou Niantang asked, "Have all the uncles arrived today?"

She was referring to those cousins.

"I arrived in the afternoon and everything has been settled. Your uncle Zhou Qi even brought you a gift, and Aunt Zhang has set up a room for you."

The Uncle Zhou Qi that Zhou Tonglin mentioned is a cousin of Zhou Niantang. His great-grandfather and Zhou Tonglin’s great-grandfather were brothers.

They had a pretty good relationship normally. Every time he came, he would bring her gifts or something. Zhou Niantang liked this uncle very much when she was a child.

The guest rooms of the Zhou family villa are located at the staircase on the left side of the main building of the villa. The third and fourth floors above there are all guest rooms. Although they are on the upper and lower floors of the second floor where the owner lives, they do not touch each other.

Zhou Niantang thought it was too late now and decided to wait until the next day to thank the uncle.

She told Zhou Tonglin many times to rest and take medicine before returning to her room.

As soon as she left, Zhou Tonglin's face darkened again.

He continued to open the document and read it. When he finished reading it, his face was so dark that it seemed like ink was dripping out.

He made a phone call and said, "Please check all the recent accounts of the Bai family for me. Also, please check who their daughter is dealing with in Nanya."

After the other party agreed, Zhou Tonglin said before hanging up the phone: "Do it secretly, don't let Yunqi know yet."

After Zhou Tonglin hung up the phone, he leaned back in his chair tiredly.

If it wasn’t for a good friend of many years who accidentally discovered the Bai family’s recent abnormal behavior and mentioned it to him.

He didn't even know that the Bai family had done so many things in the past few years using the Zhou family's name.

How much did Zhou Yunqi know about these things? And how much benefit did she give them?

He had always known about some of the benefits, but his eldest daughter was capable and had managed the company very well over the years. Zhou Tonglin had no objection to her wanting to help her maternal family.

But when it comes to things that are detrimental to the Zhou family's foundation, he can no longer turn a blind eye.

This time he wanted to investigate thoroughly and expose Bai's disgusting face to his eldest daughter.

Otherwise, if I am no longer around, she would suffer any loss because of this.

The next morning, the Zhou family was bustling with activity.

Qingming Festival is a big event to worship ancestors. All uncles and aunts within the fifth degree of mourning came, and some even brought their families.

Zhou Niantang was woken up by Aunt Zhang at around seven in the morning.

If the store is not busy, she is used to sleeping until she wakes up naturally. When she is called, she has not yet reacted.

Although she didn't go with them, as a junior, she had to get up and have breakfast together.

After washing and changing clothes, I felt almost awake.

When I went downstairs, I found that the number of people coming this year was much greater than last year.

After going downstairs, he politely called the elders one by one, then found where Zhou Yunqi was and sat down next to her.

"Sister, did you come back last night?" She didn't hear Zhou Yunqi coming back before going to bed yesterday, and she couldn't tell whether she came back in the morning or last night.

Zhou Yunqi rubbed his brows and said, "I came back at about one o'clock."

"A little after one! You only slept for a few hours, didn't you?"

Zhou Yunqi chuckled: "Why are you making such a fuss? Just take a nap in the car later."

"That's still too tiring." Zhou Niantang muttered softly.

As a result, these words were heard by an uncle standing nearby.

The uncle pointed to a girl next to him who looked to be in her twenties, and said to the Zhou sisters, "Yunqi, I want Yuanyuan to work for you after the holiday. You can arrange a position for her so that she can help you share the work."

As soon as these words came out, several people around looked over here.

Zhou Yunqi looked at the girl, sneered and didn't respond.

The girl named Zhou Yuan, whose eyes were originally full of hope, now saw Zhou Yunqi's cold temperament and not only did she not respond, she even didn't take them seriously at all.

Is it so great to be rich?

Look at Zhou Niantang who is sitting next to her. From the time she came downstairs till now, she has never called her cousin. But they haven't come out of the formal wear yet!

The scene suddenly became cold.

The uncle's face turned red. He was humiliated by a junior like that, in front of his own daughter.

But that was Zhou Yunqi. Although she was a girl, Zhou Tonglin had stated more than once that Zhou Yunqi would be in charge of the Zhou family's future businesses.

So he didn't dare to blame her in front of her as an elder, but he was so angry that he stood up and went out to smoke.

Zhou Niantang saw Zhou Yuan's resentful and angry expression and pulled Zhou Yunqi's sleeve: "Sister, if you ignore them, will Dad be angry later?"

You know, Zhou Tonglin has always taught them to be polite to these uncles.

"It's okay, don't worry about them." Zhou Yunqi said as she stood up, "I'll go up for a moment."

She didn't want to deal with these people at all.

In the years since she was reborn, she has been willing to give these people some face, but only for Zhou Tonglin's sake.

But in the previous life, when these people knew that the Zhou family was bankrupt, did any of them ever come to visit?

After he went abroad, did any of these people ever think of lending a hand to Zhou Niantang?

Even after Zhou Niantang got into trouble, he still said those nasty words.

They never thought about respecting the dead, so in her eyes, these people were no different from the dead.
