Zhou Yu was stunned upon hearing this.
What kind of strength must it take for a girl to say such words?
He couldn’t imagine the torture Mi Lan’s heart must have endured.
Zhou Yu looked at Mi Lan in front of him and nodded slightly.
"I will help you with your troubles."
"However, the rewards you mentioned afterward are unnecessary."
He was about to take a trip to Haizhou to settle the matter with the Yan Family.
It was a good opportunity for him to help with Mi Lan’s issue as well.
Upon hearing this, Mi Lan’s expression faltered.
"Helping me might bring you a lot of danger and trouble."
"But, except for my body, I really have nothing valuable to offer you in return..."
Zhou Yu smiled and said:
"Not all help in this world needs to be repaid."
"You’ve found the right person. I’m someone who loves to lend a hand wherever I see injustice."
"It’s settled then, we’ll depart for Haizhou tomorrow."
Zhou Yu cheerfully served himself a bowl of rice and began to eat.
"This dish is really good."
Seeing Zhou Yu eating heartily, tears suddenly welled up in Mi Lan’s eyes.
At that moment, she really wanted to cry.
Of course, not out of sadness, but out of happiness.
However, just as Mi Lan was about to pick up her chopsticks, suddenly...
The glass door of the restaurant was shattered.
Immediately after, a large group of people burst in.
Leading them was a man in his thirties, with a face full of arrogance. Upon entering, he glanced around the restaurant with a fierce look in his eyes.
At this, everyone in the restaurant was terrified. Most of them, too scared to eat any longer, got up and hurried out.
When the man’s gaze landed on Mi Lan, he smirked and strode over.
At the same time, Zhou Yu clearly noticed that Mi Lan’s complexion turned pale, her body trembling uncontrollably, and she buried her head down.
"Mi Lan, big brother has been looking so hard for you."
"What, you see your big brother and you don’t even say hello?"
The man came up to Mi Lan and said with a faint smile.
Mi Lan knew she couldn’t hide any longer, she lifted her head, her eyes brimming with anger.
"You... how did you know I was here?"
"Of course I found you."
"The family has spent quite a bit of money to find you."
"Get up, come home with me."
The man said with a faint smile.
"Do I even have a home?"
"Ever since my parents died, I haven’t had a home!!!"
The man smiled faintly.
"Don’t be in such a hurry, you’ll soon have a new home."
"Our family is currently planning an alliance with the He Family, and you have already been chosen by the young master of the He Family. The He Family is a prominent household in Haizhou, going to the He Family is considered a great fortune for you."
"My parents died under unclear circumstances, and up to now, the family has not given me an explanation."
"I absolutely won’t marry until the truth about my parents’ death is clear."
"You’re thinking too much."
"You’re just a mere gift. If it wasn’t for the young master of the He Family taking a fancy to you, you wouldn’t even qualify to be a gift."
"Your task is to accompany the young master of the He Family well, make sure he has a good time."
"As long as you do well with him, your parents’ death will naturally be given an explanation by the family."
Hearing these words, Mi Lan was so furious she trembled all over.
Even though she held back, the tears of humiliation could not stop falling.
Just then, Zhou Yu stood up and came over to Mi Lan, extending his hand to embrace her shoulders.
Mi Lan, with eyes red from holding back tears, said:
"His name is Mi Zongxing, he’s the son from my uncle’s family."
Seeing Zhou Yu daringly embracing Mi Lan right in front of him, Mi Zongxing narrowed his eyes, sizing up Zhou Yu.
"Who the fuck are you?"
"What’s your relationship with her?"
Zhou Yu spoke calmly:
"She’s my girlfriend, what do you think our relationship is?"
Mi Zongxing’s face darkened.
The alliance between the Mi Family and the He Family was imperative. If the young master of the He Family found out that the woman he fancied had been with another man first, it would be problematic.
He would not allow such a thing to occur.
"She’s about to be the young master of the He Family’s woman, and you dare to touch her."
"Kid, I order you to cut off one arm and then roll out of here."
"Otherwise, I’ll make sure you die a gruesome death."
As soon as Mi Zongxing finished speaking, several of his subordinates immediately rushed over, surrounding Zhou Yu.
Seeing this, Mi Lan, in Zhou Yu’s arms, couldn’t help trembling, and her hand subconsciously clutched Zhou Yu’s clothing tightly, as if grabbing onto the last straw.
Zhou Yu’s arm, which was embracing her shoulders, tightened slightly.
He smiled at Mi Lan in his arms.
"Don’t worry, nothing will happen."
"But, I need to ask you a question."
"Your big brother doesn’t seem very close to you, I hope it’s no problem if I handle him?"
Mi Lan was taken aback.
Zhou Yu smiled, then looked up, ignoring those who surrounded him, and spoke directly to Mi Zongxing:
"You’ve made my girlfriend suffer."
"Now, I’m giving you two options."
"One is, kneel down and apologize, ask for her forgiveness."
"The other is, I’ll cripple you right now."
