Rescue the hero who was imprisoned by the cannon fodder sister

Chapter 135 The human heart is not enough and the snake swallows the elephant.

On the way back to the store, Zhou Niantang actually bought a lottery ticket.

And it was double the amount. She felt that today's matter was worth a try!

But after returning to the store and calming down, she kept thinking about what those words meant.

Also, what made Pei Shi willing to discuss these things with her calmly?

After struggling for an entire afternoon and still not figuring it out, she let out a long sigh.

Forget it. This grudge is a dead end anyway, so I'd better not confirm anything anymore, otherwise I'll just prove once again how naive and stupid I am.

However, she felt that she seemed to have relieved a lot of stress after that long conversation.

Recently, she was upset because of Yun Zhi and Luo Ze being together, and she was actually very uneasy.

She didn't care what Pei Shi thought. The road had been laid out in front of her since early in the morning. All she had to do next was walk and see.

She shook her head and went to the bathroom to wash her face, rubbing the corners of her eyes in particular to wash away the vague warm touch that seemed to linger there.

But until that night, she could still feel the touch of his fingertips rubbing against it from time to time.

After tossing and turning in bed for more than half an hour and still unable to fall asleep, she reached for the phone on the bedside table and planned to send a message to Zhou Yunqi.

Zhou Yunqi hasn’t returned since he went on a business trip the day after his birthday.

She sent a message and received a quick reply, but Zhou Yunqi said she was in Country M.

Why did they suddenly go to Country M? Their family has no property in Country M, so Zhou Yunqi’s trip to Country M could only be because of the Bai family’s affairs.

In the past few years, Zhou Yunqi's grandfather's health has been up and down. Several times he said that he was dying, so Zhou Yunqi rushed to Country M to visit him.

Sometimes, when something happened in the Bai family’s company, they would drag Zhou Yunqi over to help out.

What is it for this time?

However, Zhou Niantang did not ask in detail. She was not interested in the affairs of the Bai family. She was just worried that Zhou Yunqi would be too tired, so she sent a message to remind her to eat three meals on time and get enough rest.

Zhou Yunqi, on the other side of the ocean, had just finished her breakfast, replied to her sister's message, and then got up and went to the back garden.

An old man in Tai Chi training clothes, with gray hair on his temples, is holding a pair of scissors as he trims a pot of crape myrtle that he has carefully cared for.

Bai Yundong knew it was his granddaughter coming over without turning around. He didn't stop what he was doing, but just slightly tilted his head to talk to her.

"Why are you up so early? Why don't you get some more sleep?"

Zhou Yunqi has been in charge of the Zhou Group for some years. She rarely shows her emotions and is also good at hiding her emotions.

She suppressed the urge to question Bai Yundong and only whispered, "I have jet lag and can't sleep."

Bai Yundong finally put down the scissors in his hand, sat down at the stone table beside him, and pointed to the seat on the other side: "Sit down and have a cup of tea with grandpa."

Zhou Yunqi sat down, holding the teacup in her hand, and did not speak.

She was waiting for Bai Yundong to talk to her about what happened the day before.

The Bai family has been secretly contacting people in South Asia, and has been trying to cooperate with them under the Zhou family's name.

You know, in South Asia, when she fought the most fiercely with Pei Shi in her previous life, even though she knew that it was a big piece of fat meat, she never thought of taking a bite.

Because she knows that the more tempting something is, the more dangerous it is.

In this life, she already has enough capital to fight against Pei Shi. It is not certain who will win in the end, so she will not even think about having any involvement with the people over there.

She still has a father and a sister, so there is no way she would take that kind of risk.

But her uncle Bai Lian and her mother Bai Zhi actually secretly used her name to contact people over there.

This made her so furious that she flew to Country M to question the government the same day she learned the news.

Bai Lian did not deny it, but just kept saying that if the cooperation was successful, it would be of great help to the revitalization of the Bai family's industry, and for Zhou Yunqi, it could also increase Zhou's assets.

Zhou Yunqi was dismissive of this. Her business methods have always been aboveboard. She didn't need to form an alliance with those dangerous demons in the lawless areas. She could still keep the Zhou family firmly in the position of the richest family in City A.

With different ideas, it is natural to argue.

Zhou Yunqi was not only disappointed, but also a little heartbroken.

In the previous life, the Bai family was also suppressed by Pei Shi and ended early.

After the Zhou family completely collapsed, she was taken to Country M by her mother. At that time, she felt guilty and felt that her grandfather's family was implicated by her.

That's why after his rebirth, he kept tolerating them and repeatedly misappropriated his own company's projects to support the Bai family's industry.

Unfortunately, human greed is unsatisfactory. As long as they don't do evil, the Bai family will never fall. After all, I am still here.

Zhou Yunqi has told them these truths countless times, but they always do messy things behind her back.

She even thought that in the previous life, even without Pei Shi's encouragement, the Bai family would not have lasted long!

Facing her grandfather who had loved her since she was a child, Zhou Yunqi was reluctant to show him a bad face, but she would never let him go just because of the old man.

The grandfather and grandson drank their tea in silence, as if they were competing to see who would lose patience and speak first.

Bai Yundong confidently thought that his granddaughter would be defeated in less than ten minutes, and he could just deliver the speech he had prepared.

But he underestimated Zhou Yunqi. Zhou Yunqi was a powerful woman who was influential in both cities. She was not the young girl who was less than 30 years old in his eyes.

He drank a cup of tea and added more to it, and finally Bai Yundong spoke first.

"Are you still mad at your uncle?"

Zhou Yunqi said indifferently: "It's not a big deal. After all, no matter how much he says, there's no way I'll let him complete this project."

Bai Yundong's eyes lit up and he put down his teacup heavily. "The family business has been going downhill in recent years. You know very well what's going on. Finally, your uncle has the opportunity to revive the glory of the Bai family. Can't you support him? He loved you so much when you were a child."

"Grandpa, why are you still unwilling to admit it?"

Zhou Yunqi was tired. Bai Yundong never admitted it. Although the first two generations of the Bai family were the richest people in Country A, due to the poor management of the descendants, starting from Bai Yundong's generation, the family was like a rolling cylinder and could not be stopped.

When his parents arranged the marriage, it was because they saw that the Zhou family was thriving under Zhou Tonglin's management.

At that time, Zhou Tonglin took good care of the Bai family, just like he does now.

However, after the marriage broke down, the division of property was too undignified, so Zhou Tonglin simply cut off ties with the Bai family completely without even considering his daughter's face.

However, Bai Yundong stubbornly blamed Zhou Tonglin for the decline of the Bai family in recent years, believing that it was Zhou Tonglin who was suppressing them in secret.

Zhou Yunqi actually didn't want to attack the old man in front of him. It was obvious that he had mediocre abilities no matter when he was young or now, otherwise the Bai family would not be what it is now.

But he is always unwilling to see himself clearly and always indulges his children to do ridiculous things.

"I only need a statement to clear myself from you. Then, you can cooperate with whoever you want in South Asia. But if something goes wrong, don't say I didn't advise you."
