Chapter 594 - 573 - Provocation, Suppression (1/3)
Zhou Heng was still unaware of what had happened, for he had been frolicking with the ladies all night yesterday and, just like before, he spent his time in the courtyard watching the leaves fluttering down and the clouds rolling by, feeling as if he could touch the sky just by reaching out, a truly wonderful feeling.
It was only when Yang Lanxin came running to him and pulled him outside that he learned Yang Tiehu wanted to see him.
If it were someone else, meeting their father-in-law for the first time would definitely cause much anxiety, but what kind of mental fortitude did Zhou Heng have? Besides, Yang Tiehu was only one of his fathers-in-law; after so many encounters, he had become indifferent.
Following Yang Lanxin through the courtyard and corridors, the two quickly arrived at an elegant garden, where a pavilion was already occupied by four people.
Yang Tiehu, Liu Zishuang, Lin Caijun, and Liu Hanye were seated there. Wang Yuanlong should have been present as well, but sadly, he had died at the hands of Star Sea bandits.
"Father, Second Uncle!" First, Yang Lanxin greeted Yang Tiehu and Liu Zishuang with a bow before tugging at Zhou Heng, a pleading look in her eyes.
Given Zhou Heng’s status as a Three Stars Pharmacist, he didn’t need to bow to Yang Tiehu or Liu Zishuang at all, it should actually be the other way around—they should be flattering Zhou Heng. How many families in Wild Horse City, stronger than the Yang family, were vying for the chance to curry favor with him and couldn’t get it!
This fellow was full of arrogance, and it took some soft tactics to make him bow his head temporarily for her sake.
Zhou Heng couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly. True, he was untamed, but he would never be rude to his elders—provided that these elders also acted their part.
He cupped his hands and bowed to Yang Tiehu and Liu Zishuang, saying, "Junior Zhou Heng, greets Uncle Yang, Uncle Liu!"
