The Fierce and Powerful Immortal Physician
Chapter 22 A phoenix with its feathers plucked is no better than a chicken
"Xiao Hao, you bought a new car?"
Xia Ziruo was surprised to see Zhou Hao press the ignition button on a brand-new Tank 400 parked downstairs.
"Okay, I had my bodyguard handle it. I'll drive today, you can rest."
Zhou Hao climbed into the driver's seat.
"Okay, drive slowly, safety first."
The two sisters sat in the back seat, and Xia Ziruo instructed, "Going to the Super Party, you know?"
"Of course~"
The engine was started, and the Tank 400 slowly drove away from Cuihu Garden. Zhou Hao skillfully turned the steering wheel:
"I remember that place was Yunyang City, a top-tier club that combined leisure, entertainment and business, with an annual membership fee of one million yuan per card."
"I'm not sure, I've never been there. Chu Hong and the others have membership cards, and I heard that they only need to use one membership card to pay for each purchase."
Xia Ziru shook her head.
"Yes, Shen Zeyu took me there."
Xia Zixuan replied smugly:
"That's a club for the wealthy. Every visit costs at least tens of thousands of yuan. Even you, a former rich kid, have never experienced that, have you?"
"What's the point of being a rich kid? I want to be the dad of a rich kid."
Zhou Hao replied indifferently.
"Pshaw, you make it sound so easy. You're having trouble supporting yourself right now. You'd better find a job to make a living. Your godmother definitely won't take care of you forever."
"Don't worry about it, we definitely won't starve."
"You, you, you're like a dog biting Lü Dongbin—you don't appreciate a kind heart at all!"
Seeing the situation turning sour, Xia Ziruo quickly intervened, "Alright, alright, stop bickering as soon as you meet. You two weren't like this before. When you go out to have fun, what's the point?"
then,
A hush fell over the car.
......
at the same time,
Inside the living room of Cuihu Garden.
"These things must be worth two or three million, right?" Qiu Shulan's eyes nearly popped out of her head as she looked at the huge pile of all sorts of gifts.
"Zeyu is such a reliable kid. Even though we spent 3.5 million, we've already broken even!"
"Xiao Hao said he was the one who made the greeting, but I'm wondering if there's some misunderstanding?"
Although Xia Zhongjing was honest, he was, after all, a businessman who had been in the business world for a while, and he knew that Zhou Hao would never talk nonsense.
Between Shen Zeyu and Zhou Hao, one of them is always lying.
He doesn't know Shen Zeyu very well yet, so that's the most likely explanation.
"What misunderstanding? Zhou Hao is in dire straits right now, barely able to save himself. What ability does he have to deal with these underground forces? What good is just being a fighter? Can one person take on hundreds of people?"
Qiu Shulan rolled her eyes and went to the kitchen to bring out two slaughtered and plucked hens: "Let's use fire to fluff off the down feathers again, so the stewed chicken will be more fragrant."
"If you want to singe chicken feathers, do it on the gas stove in the kitchen. Why did you bring it out here?" Xia Zhongjing stood up and asked, puzzled.
"Alright, alright, you father and daughters only know how to expect to be fed and clothed. Just pour half a bowl of wine, light it, and let it float on the surface. The two bottles Zhou Hao bought aren't worth much."
Qiu Shulan was very dissatisfied and kept nagging.
"The wine Xiao Hao gave us is probably very expensive, so why don't we use the remaining baijiu in the cabinet?"
Xia Zhongjing picked up a bottle of wine covered with foreign letters and examined it from all angles.
"What's so interesting about it? The words aren't even clearly written, so how expensive can it be? Small workshop brews cost three to five dozen yuan, which is considered street vendor stuff."
Without saying a word, Qiu Shulan snatched the bottle, unscrewed the cap, poured half the bottle into the basin, grabbed the lighter from the coffee table, and lit it with a "snap".
"Ugh."
Xia Zhongjing smiled helplessly: "You're busy, I'll go take a look around the company."
......
An hour later.
Zhou Hao drove his Tank 400 into a tree-lined area and parked it in the parking lot.
The three of them had just gotten off the bus.
A BMW X7 screeched to a halt beside them.
The passenger door opened.
A stylish and sexy woman came downstairs and gave Xia Ziruo an exaggerated hug: "Darling, I've missed you so much these past few days, mua."
"Hey, Chu Hong, be gentle. What made you think of this place today? I'm just a working-class person, I can't afford to get carried away." Xia Ziruo pushed the woman away with disdain.
"Who is this?"
Chu Hong then turned to nod and greet Xia Zixuan, before her gaze fell on Zhou Hao.
"He is Zhou Hao, my little brother."
Xia Ziruo quickly introduced, "This is my younger sister Zixuan's former classmate, and this is Chu Hong, my high school classmate and best friend."
"Hello there."
Zhou Hao nodded slightly.
"Zhou Hao?"
Chu Hong narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and searched Zhou Hao thoroughly from head to toe. Suddenly remembering something, she exclaimed, "Could he be Zi Xuan's ex-boyfriend, the young master of the Zhou family?"
"Yes, we've broken up."
Xia Zixuan quickly distanced herself from the situation.
"Oh, what a pity. I heard that the Zhou family fell ill after the incident. Are they better now? They can never go back to the way things were."
Chu Hong immediately lost interest.
Zhou Hao, a former rich young master, was well-known in the circle of wealthy second-generation people in Yunyang. As Xia Ziruo's best friend, he naturally knew a little about the ins and outs of the matter.
As the saying goes, a phoenix that has lost its feathers is no better than a chicken. Now he is living under someone else's roof, penniless and no longer the prince charming in girls' hearts.
"His body has fully recovered."
Worried that Zhou Hao would be unhappy, Xia Ziruo didn't want to dwell on the topic and changed the subject: "Let's go inside."
"Wow, it's so lively!"
At this moment, two men and a woman got out of the BMW. The young man in front was tall and elegant, and he greeted Xia Ziruo as he walked:
"Zi Ruo, the school beauty, do you still remember me?"
"Jin Feng?"
Xia Ziruo frowned slightly, but didn't show any displeasure: "Didn't you go abroad?"
This person was also a high school classmate, a notorious playboy. His father, Jin Gang, was the deputy mayor of Yunyang City, in charge of the education, health, and hospital systems.
He had been pursuing her, but she had no feelings for him at all and had repeatedly and firmly rejected him.
A year ago, for some unknown reason, Jin Feng suddenly went to the United States and then disappeared without a trace.
"I just went abroad for a trip to broaden my horizons. A tree may grow a thousand feet tall, but its leaves will eventually fall back to its roots. I miss Yunyang, and I miss the school beauty of Yunyang No.1 High School even more."
Lu Feng smiled smugly and spoke fluently and naturally.
"Come on, you're surrounded by beauties, you don't need me. This is my little sister Zixuan and my little brother Zhou Hao."
Xia Ziru forced a smile and, after introducing herself, greeted the two classmates behind Jin Feng. The boy's name was Chai Wen, and the girl's name was Du Xiaowei.
She hadn't expected Chu Hong to get involved with Jin Feng and even invite her out. She wished she hadn't come.
The students exchanged pleasantries and compliments.
"Young Master Zhou bought a tank worth over two hundred thousand yuan! Tsk tsk~"
At this moment, Jin Feng glanced at the brand-new Tank 400, and with a half-smile, deliberately dragged out his words: "This is not befitting your status. Your godmother, Liu Yannong, is a famous socialite in Yunyang City."
The renowned chairman of Qinghe Group, your god-sister Liu Shuran is also the fiancée of Li Dan, the eldest son of the Li family, one of the four major families. Surely you don't have to be so shabby?
"If it weren't for me protecting you, you wouldn't even be able to get through the door of this club."
"His Lamborghini was being repaired at the 6S shop after it was hit yesterday. Besides, the Tank 400 is pretty good. I think as long as it's comfortable to ride in, that's fine."
Xia Ziruo subconsciously explained that she didn't want anyone to look down on Zhou Hao.
