Chapter 1078 - 1077: Secret Base
Su Changfeng was about to throw it away, but Han Xue quickly snatched it from his hand and said, "Do you know what frugality is? I think this soap can still be used!"
Su Changfeng felt quite moved because Han Xue not only wasn’t disgusted, but she even wanted to try it out herself, which made him feel very warm inside.
"So, are we going to take a bath together, or are you going first?" Su Changfeng asked, raising his eyebrow.
Han Xue’s face immediately turned red. Although she had been married to Su Changfeng for several years, they had never bathed together.
"You’re dreaming! Go outside and keep an eye on the door for me, and no peeking." Han Xue shook her little fist, playfully threatening Su Changfeng.
Su Changfeng hurriedly nodded and quickly turned around, his back facing Han Xue.
Han Xue still felt a bit shy, so she lowered her head and started to undress.
After all, it was winter, and the weather was a bit cold, so when Han Xue undressed, she felt a chill and quickly turned on the tap. The hot water gushed out, and fortunately, the temperature was just right.
Facing away from Han Xue, Su Changfeng couldn’t resist his curiosity and peeked with the corner of his eye. But just then, Han Xue happened to look up and scolded him, causing Su Changfeng to quickly turn his head.
But then Su Changfeng thought, who’s taking a bath now? It’s Han Xue, and Han Xue is his wife. They are legally married, so isn’t it perfectly reasonable for him to watch his wife bathe? Why should he feel like a peeping tom and feel guilty?
With that thought, Su Changfeng turned around, facing Han Xue directly with his eyes fixed lustily on her.
Han Xue noticed Su Changfeng suddenly turned his head and was taken aback. In the next second, she quickly hugged her body and bowed her head, saying shyly, "What are you doing? Don’t look."
"But you’re my lawful wife. What part of your body haven’t I seen? There’s no need to feel shy!" Su Changfeng said with a teasing smile.
Hearing Su Changfeng say this, Han Xue’s face turned even redder, but she couldn’t stop Su Changfeng, so she had to comply.
Su Changfeng and Han Xue took a bath in this secret spot, but nothing intimate happened. After all, it was broad daylight, and making too much noise wouldn’t be good.
Meanwhile, Zhou Renlin returned home with a gloomy demeanor.
The Zhou Family had already known about what happened at the airport, so Zhou Renlin didn’t even need to say anything. Everyone in the Zhou Family had already heard about it.
Sitting in the armchair, Zhou Qifeng was furious when he heard about it. Zhou Renlin had been confident, promising to make Su Changfeng kneel and beg for mercy, but in the end? He was knocked to the ground with a single punch by that kid Su Changfeng, which utterly humiliated the Zhou Family.
"Zhou Renlin, how did you give me such sworn assurances? You said you could make Su Changfeng leave Beijing on his own, but now look at the situation. Now the whole of Beijing is laughing at our Zhou Family. You worthless thing, I really don’t know what to say to you." Zhou Qifeng said coldly.
Zhou Renlin truly didn’t expect Su Changfeng to be so skillful, he couldn’t even get up after being hit to the ground, with no chance to resist. If he had known, he would never have confidently said he would handle it alone.
"Grandpa, that Su Changfeng is quite skilled. Even if I brought the experts our family hired, I doubt we could beat him." Zhou Renlin said.
Hearing this, Zhou Renjie laughed directly and said, "Zhou Renlin, it’s one thing if you’re incompetent, but now you’re praising Su Changfeng like this—are you suggesting we’re all as useless as you are?"
Zhou Renlin’s eyes turned icy, and he said, "Zhou Renjie, stop mocking me. I’m just telling the truth. Su Changfeng is not as incompetent as rumored."
Zhou Renjie had long known that Su Changfeng wasn’t easy to deal with. His plan was to use Su Changfeng to undermine Zhou Renlin, leaving him without a foothold in the family and causing their grandfather to lose faith in him. But even though Zhou Renjie knew Su Changfeng had some skills, he still looked down on him.
Because Zhou Renjie had a mysterious confidence; he believed that if he took matters into his own hands, Su Changfeng would be no match for him and would eventually have to leave Beijing.
"Zhou Renlin, you’ve let this matter turn out this way, bringing shame to our Zhou Family, and you still expect me to see you differently? Do you think that’s possible?" Zhou Qifeng said coldly.
Zhou Renlin couldn’t sit still after hearing this. He had planned to deal with Su Changfeng, that useless guy, to prove his capability, but if this matter ended here, his status in the Zhou Family would plummet.
"Grandpa, I was too careless the last time. Please give me another chance to redeem myself. I promise to make Su Changfeng go back to Jiang City," Zhou Renlin, eager to prove himself, pleaded urgently.
"Do you think there’s any more dignity left to lose?" Zhou Qifeng said with a serious face.
"Grandpa, this time I’ll bring bodyguards with me and teach that Su Changfeng a lesson he’ll never forget," Zhou Renlin said again.
Now, Zhou Qifeng had no confidence in Zhou Renlin and trusted Zhou Renjie more. He believed that if Zhou Renjie took action personally, the matter could be resolved quickly.
"Renjie, what’s your opinion on this matter?" Zhou Qifeng suddenly asked Zhou Renjie.
Unlike Zhou Renlin and the others, Zhou Renjie didn’t rush to showcase himself, as he was already considered outstanding in the Zhou Family, so he wasn’t anxious about this matter.
Zhou Renlin thought that the more critical the moment, the more it would show his ability.
Zhou Renlin quickly looked at Zhou Renjie. He knew that if Zhou Renjie decided to handle it himself, Zhou Qifeng would definitely take Zhou Renjie’s opinion into account, meaning Zhou Renjie would likely continue to manage the affair, which would mean Zhou Renlin would have no place in the Zhou Family.
But what Zhou Renjie said left Zhou Renlin utterly incredulous.
"Since you have confidence in handling this matter, let’s give him another chance. My company is quite busy with matters at the moment, so I don’t have time for this," Zhou Renjie said.
This statement not only left Zhou Renlin shocked, but even other juniors in the Zhou Family hadn’t expected it. They couldn’t comprehend why, given Zhou Renjie’s personality, he wouldn’t kick someone while they’re down; how could he let him try again?
Did the sun rise from the west?
