Huo Churou was born into the Huo family, one of the wealthiest families in Beijing. The two of them used to be classmates and knew each other well.
"I knew you would be back soon. Zhou Ping, you're good! He had actually passed all seven stages. Your family is really willing to spend money to buy over the seven checkpoints.”
Huo Churou pointed at Zhou Ping with a cute smile.
"What bribe? I used my real ability to get through. You have to believe me!" Zhou Ping pretended to be wronged.
"Come on, do you think I don't know your strength?”Huo Churou looked as if she had already seen through him.
"Since we've bumped into each other, do you want to play together? I'm meeting up with Hua Zhuyu!"
"Hua Zhuyu? You mean the snot girl!" In Zhou Ping's mind, a weak girl with a runny nose appeared.
"What snot girl? That was Goddess Hua! I really don't understand why you always call Goddess Hua a snot girl. Let me tell you, Goddess Hua's guards have increased by several times. If you keep shouting like that, be careful of getting beaten up.”Huo Churou waved her little fists and said in a threatening manner.
"Beat me up? Who dares?" Zhou Ping's face was full of pride, giving off the feeling that he was looking down on the world.
"Fine, fine, fine. I know that you are the young master of the Zhou family. No one can afford to offend you. How was it? Are you going or not? Say something." Huo Churou also knew the Zhou family's strength, so she didn't refute Zhou Ping's words.
"No." Zhou Ping shook his head.
"I still have to visit Grandpa Xu at noon. I'm going to buy a gift now.”
"Buy a gift? Then why are you still wandering around here? Get in the car, I'll take you to the Crystal Glass Factory." Huo Churou patted her sports car and said to Zhou Ping.
"Take me to the Crystal Glass Factory? Aren't you going to play?" Zhou Ping asked.
"Hey, it's still early. I'll send you to the Crystal Glass Factory. By the way, is this beauty beside you your girlfriend?”Huo Churou pointed at Li Xiaoyi and asked.
Zhou Ping looked at Li Xiaoyi and saw that her eyes were filled with pleading. After all, it was too embarrassing to say that she was a plaything.
"Yeah, I guess she's my girlfriend." Zhou Ping hesitated for a moment and gave an ambiguous answer.
"If you are, then so be it. What was considered? Forget it, I can't be bothered with you. Come up together." Huo Churou pressed a button on the sports car, and the door behind the car opened like a seagull's wing.
Under Li Xiaoyi's grateful gaze, Zhou Ping pulled her into the car. Huo Churou stepped on the accelerator, and the sports car sped off.
"Zhou Ping, are you free tonight?”Huo Churou chatted with Zhou Ping as she drove.
"Why, you want to ask me out?" Zhou Ping asked.
"Tsk, a few of our old classmates are planning to get together tonight. If you don't want to come, forget it.”Huo Churou rolled her eyes.
"Go. Since Miss Huo asked me to go, how could I not go? Even if he didn't have the time, he had to squeeze out some time. What time was it at night? Where is it?" Zhou Ping said with a smile.
"At least you're on the right track. At nine o'clock in the evening, at Hongyun Bar. Don't be late." Huo Churou threw a 'at least you know what' emoji.
"Alright, I won't be late.”Zhou Ping nodded in agreement. The two of them chatted about the past.
The journey was peaceful. Zhou Ping successfully bought an antique landscape painting from the Crystal Glass Factory. Then, he sat in Huo Churou's sports car and arrived at Grandpa Xu's house.
"Remember not to be late tonight." After saying that, Huo Churou stepped on the accelerator and drove off.
Zhou Ping smiled and shook his head. Huo Churou was still as carefree as ever. This made Zhou Ping look forward to the gathering at night.
"Grandpa Xu's full name is Xu Xiangrong. He's my grandfather's comrade. Don't be too nervous. Grandpa Xu is very kind.”Zhou Ping saw that Li Xiaoyi was a little nervous, so he smiled and comforted her.
Although Zhou Ping said so, Li Xiaoyi did not relax in the slightest. These wealthy families naturally gave Li Xiaoyi a lot of pressure.
After Zhou Ping finished speaking, he no longer cared about Li Xiaoyi. Zhou Ping walked to the door and knocked on it.
"Who is it?"
With a creak, the door opened. A man in his forties poked his head out.
"Uncle Zhang, it's me." Zhou Ping greeted the man in his forties.
"You are…Young Master Zhou Ping?”The man called Uncle Zhang sized up Zhou Ping and recalled for a moment. He immediately recognized Zhou Ping.
"Young Master Zhou, you're finally back. It had been a few years since they last met, but he was already so handsome now.”Uncle Zhang said to Zhou Ping with a smile.
"Come in quickly. The commander has been talking about Young Master Zhou every day for the past few years. Now that Young Master Zhou was back, the commander would be overjoyed.”
Uncle Zhang opened the door with a smile and let Zhou Ping in.
"Young Master Zhou, take your time. I'll report to the commander first and make him happy.”Uncle Zhang said as he closed the door and walked into the courtyard with a smile.
"Who is this Uncle Zhang? Was the commander he was talking about Grandpa Xu?”Seeing Uncle Zhang leave, Li Xiaoyi asked nervously.
"That's right. Grandpa Xu is the commander, and the commander is Grandpa Xu. Uncle Zhang's full name was Zhang Li. He used to be Grandpa Xu's guard. After Grandpa Xu retired, Uncle Zhang was unwilling to leave Grandpa Xu, so he followed Grandpa Xu and became the butler of the Xu family. Don't underestimate Uncle Zhang. The commander treats him like a brother.”Zhou Ping explained to Li Xiaoyi in detail.
The two of them walked along the road towards the courtyard. After a few steps, they heard a hearty laugh.
"Hahaha, Ah Ping is back? When did he come back? It must have been tough outside all these years, right? I watched the live broadcast of you breaking through the seven levels. Ah Ping has become successful now."
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with white hair and beard walked out in high spirits.
"Grandpa Xu."
Zhou Ping shouted and quickly went up to greet him.
"Good child, you really have no conscience. It had been five years, and she hadn't come to see Grandpa Xu even once.”
"Hehe, Grandpa Xu, you also know that I didn't have the face to see you at that time. See, now that I'm successful, I came to see you as soon as I came back.”
Zhou Ping helped Grandpa Xu up and tried to act cute.
"Go, go, go. Who would praise themselves for being successful? You're in such a hurry to see me because you miss my Twice Cooked Pork, right?”Xu Xiangrong laughed and scolded,
