Mr. Zhou’s hackles went up immediately.
He said fiercely: "Jinrong, you are mine and mine alone!"
The effects of last night’s donkey meat were still there; he wanted to do that thing again.
Mrs. Zhou stopped him.
With pitiful charm, she said: "If you refuse to get treatment, do you want me to smear ointment on you every day to get by? Or do you want me to feel guilty and indulge your pleasures outside?"
Mr. Zhou, seeing that she was truly angry, felt a lump in his throat.
The hot-blooded man gave in: "It’s just seeing some charlatan. Fine, I’ll accompany you there!"
In a soft, gentle voice, Mrs. Zhou said: "This is the good Mr. Zhou I know."
She personally helped her husband pick out a shirt and tie. Her hands so skillful, Mr. Zhou looked down at his wife with affection.
He couldn’t help but wrap his arms around her slender waist and kiss her.
As the kiss grew passionate, he said roughly: "I don’t need other women! If this charlatan can’t do it, we’ll find someone else. We must cure the illness at all costs."
Whispering in his wife’s ear, he said: "I want to make Jinrong happy."
Mrs. Zhou wrapped her arms around his robust waist and whispered back: "Then listen to me."
She was so tender and beautiful, Mr. Zhou couldn’t resist kissing her again...
After a long time of affection, they finally left the house.
In a black sedan, Mr. Zhou held his frail Mrs. Zhou.
A young man sat in front.
The chauffeur drove them to the front of a villa, and Mr. Zhou looked at it and then said to his wife: "Duonian was right, which reputable doctor lives like this? Just shows how corrupt they are!"
Mrs. Zhou said softly: "You’re biased to think so poorly of Mr. Shi An! I, on the other hand, believe that Mr. Shi An’s prominent background affords such luxury!"
Mr. Zhou was unconvinced.
The group got out of the car, and Mr. Zhou handed in his card, "Mr. Zhou from the South pays a visit to Mr. Shi An."
The gatekeeper smiled: "Mr. Zhou has come at a perfect time. The master is at home."
Mr. Zhou glanced at his wife: See, they let anyone in at the smell of money.
...
The gatekeeper led them through the villa.
The scenery was beautiful, and a sunroom had been built in the left corner of the courtyard.
Mrs. Zhou quite liked it and asked softly: "May I ask what flowers are grown in that greenhouse?"
The gatekeeper smiled: "Roses! The head of the household’s lady loves roses. Miss Su specifically designated a plot of land to plant them in memory of her."
Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "So the host’s surname is Su!"
Mr. Zhou whispered to her: "Those with the surname Su are typically up to no good."
Mrs. Zhou gave him a glance and warned him: "Don’t you say anything foolish later!"
She softened her tone: "Do you still want me to get better?"
Mr. Zhou immediately shut his mouth and indicated that he would follow his wife’s arrangements.
After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at the main house.
There was the sound of a violin coming from inside.
It was quite pleasing to the ear.
The gatekeeper smiled: "Miss Su is teaching Miss Jiaren how to play the violin right now!"
At that moment, Gui Zhi came over, and the gatekeeper said, "Mrs. Zhou from Yangcheng has come to visit."
Gui Zhi greeted them with a smile: "Miss Su has been waiting for you for a long time."
Mrs. Zhou said: "So Mr. Shi An’s real surname is Su, and he is actually a lady."
She reminded her husband: "Old Master Gu has always been proud; a lady he holds in high esteem must be outstanding."
By now, Mr. Zhou was also impressed, and he agreed.
Gui Zhi arranged for them to take a seat and personally brewed some fine aromatic tea for them.
Mr. Zhou, keen to please his wife, commented: "This tea is quite good! It appears that Mr. Shi An is indeed a person of culture and taste."
Mrs. Zhou replied with a spring breeze in her voice: "You’ve finally come around."
As Mr. Zhou was enjoying his tea, he caught a glimpse of Su Ruanruan descending from the second floor.
He spat out a mouthful of tea.
Pointing at Su Ruanruan, he blurted: "What are you doing here in Mr. Shi An’s house?"
Su Ruanruan was serene as ever.
She instructed others to clean up, and once it was tidy, she took her seat.
Su Ruanruan took a sip of her tea and smiled faintly: "I did say, Mr. Zhou, that you would eventually find me!"
