Chapter 316: It's Not Easy to Rescue Someone
Although Zhong Jingyu didn't say much in such a short time, Bai Zhaozhao still keenly sensed a familiar feeling from him, just like a hunter eyeing his prey.
This feeling of being targeted is indeed somewhat similar to Lu Zimo, except that Lu Zimo is really attracted to her, while Zhong Jingyu is determined to win her over, even if he doesn't like her.
The plot guy is really great, he has spared no effort in making things difficult for her!
Oh, come and kill her if you can! Are you out of energy?
A moment later, a black shadow landed not far away. He immediately rushed to Zhong Jingyu, helping him to fend off Zhao Lingxiao and the other two while saying, "Sir, I have already notified the eldest young master, and reinforcements will be here soon."
It seems that this person is Zhong Jingyu's secret guard.
Sure enough, two more men in black came after a while and took Zhu Hanyan away, leaving Zhao Lingxiao to continue fighting with Zhong Jingyu.
Bai Zhaozhao knew that his two senior brothers had let him go, otherwise the three secret guards would have died directly. They were probably still afraid of Zhong Jingyu's identity.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhong Jingyu's clothes had become tattered. At this time, a servant came to report to Bai Zhaozhao that someone had visited and handed over a visiting card.
Bai Zhaozhao smiled slightly. It seemed that Zhong Jingchen came here to rescue people peacefully, otherwise he would not have handed over a visiting card. He could have directly brought people over the wall. After all, saving people is the most important thing!
So Bai Zhaozhao invited Zhong Jingchen in out of courtesy.
Zhong Jingchen walked over slowly, bowed politely, and after getting Bai Zhaozhao's permission, sat down opposite Bai Zhaozhao.
Bai Zhaozhao was the first to laugh: "It's been a long time since I last saw Master Zhong. He looks even more handsome now than before. I guess he's in high spirits after his wedding!"
Zhong Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Bai Zhaozhao's familiar look, he thought that she would not make things difficult for him, so he ignored Zhong Jingyu who was dodging and calling him.
"Princess Zhaohe, thank you for your praise. Qingyang and I have always been grateful for your help. We came here today mainly to give you something!"
"Oh?" Bai Zhaozhao said with a smile, "Just delivering something?"
As he said this, he glanced at the people who were still fighting.
Zhong Jingchen said calmly, "Yes, I am giving you something as a gift! To be honest, County Lady, our Zhong family has a portion of shares in the Treasure Pavilion. If you don't mind, as long as you register, you can get a 30% discount on your purchases there in the future!"
Bai Zhaozhao was slightly stunned. Treasure Pavilion? 30% off!
This is not a small amount of money. Everyone in the capital knows that Zhenbao Pavilion is a large national chain store, and all its products are luxury goods. Even if you spend tens of thousands of taels there, you can only get a 10% discount.
The owner behind it is surnamed Gu, also a century-old family. I just didn’t expect that the Zhong family actually has shares there!
Wait a minute, she remembered Li Rongyue once said that he had left some staff for her in the Treasure Pavilion, which showed that Li Rongyue also had a close relationship with the Gu family.
That’s right, when Li Rongyue was poisoned, it was Zhong Jingchen who asked her to help detoxify, so the Zhong family and Li Rongyue are good friends.
It makes sense to think this way. No wonder in the original novel Cheng Li Jiayu not only had to deal with Li Rongyue but also the Zhong family, because they were in a group!
Zhong Jingchen is really smart. He was clearly reminding Bai Zhaozhao, hoping that she would remember their old friendship and not make things difficult for Zhong Jingyu.
In addition, as long as Bai Zhaozhao takes the 30% discount, it means that the cooperation between the Bai family and the Zhong family will not be affected in any way.
So Bai Zhaozhao waved his hand, signaling Zhao Lingxiao and the others to stop, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Zhong is thoughtful. I like this generous gift very much."
Then Bai Zhaozhao pointed at the panting Zhong Jingyu and said, "Oh, by the way, today was quite unusual. You saw that man dressed like a beggar over there. He actually wanted to assassinate me! Isn't that interesting? Fortunately, my secret guards are good at martial arts, otherwise I might have been killed!"
Zhong Jingchen's pupils trembled. Assassination? What's going on? The secret guard clearly said collision!
Fortunately, he came to rescue him in time, otherwise Zhong Jingyu would have been in big trouble!
However, Zhong Jingchen remained calm and said, "It is indeed very rare, but I just happen to know this person. Although he is a little arrogant, he is not a bad person.
I feel that this person has no intention of assassinating, he must be crazy, he ran here without telling his family and went crazy, he really shouldn't have offended the county lady!
Fortunately, the county lady was kind-hearted and showed mercy, which was also a way of giving face to his family!"
Bai Zhaozhao was very satisfied, but she still took the opportunity to complain: "Mr. Zhong may not know that this person has made such a charge without any intention of assassination for the sixteenth time today."
Zhong Jingchen was shocked again. Sixteen times! Zhong Jingyu actually came to see Princess Zhaohe sixteen times!
Is he crazy? This is not the way to like someone! Isn't this completely hopeless?
He deserves to be in such a mess now. How can he have the nerve to say that Bai Zhaozhao will definitely agree?
And the second aunt actually insisted on asking Qingyang to help pass the message! It made him feel like he was going crazy now. No wonder Qingyang told him to give up after helping to pass the message.
Zhong Jingchen suppressed the urge to beat him up, and bowed his head again, saying, "The county lady is really magnanimous. How about this, the county lady let him go for now, and I will take him back and give him a good lesson. Later, I will definitely ask his family to come and formally apologize!"
Bai Zhaozhao smiled and looked at Zhong Jingyu provocatively, only to see that the other party's face was full of resentment, but he did not dare to act rashly and could only stare at her unwillingly.
This look greatly pleased Bai Zhaozhao. I like the way you can't stand me but can't get rid of me!
So Bai Zhaozhao nodded generously: "Since Master Zhong has said so, then for Qingyang's sake, today's matter will naturally be..."
"Of course we can't just let it go like this!" a loud voice came.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Bai Lin appearing there in official uniform.
Although he looked calm, he had an extraordinary aura.
I guess as soon as he returned home, the servants told him that something happened in the bamboo forest.
Zhong Jingchen secretly groaned. The current Bai Lin has been completely transformed and is no longer the Bai Lin from three years ago.
Even my grandfather said that Bai Lin would definitely enter the cabinet in the future and become the youngest cabinet minister in history.
It would be fine if Bai Lin didn't know about this. As long as Bai Zhaozhao was dealt with, even if Bai Lin knew about it in the future, he would admit it. But now it is probably not possible.
Zhong Jingchen had to stand up and explain: "Brother Bai, I'm afraid there are some misunderstandings about what happened today."
Bai Lin waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and said politely: "Brother Jingchen, you don't have to be polite. Your father is my master, so I am also your junior brother!"
Zhong Jingchen immediately took over the challenge: "Brother Siming is right, my father often says that you are his most proud disciple!"
Zhong Jingchen's father, Lord Zhong, once gave Bai Lin the name Siming, so Bai Lin was nominally his disciple.
But Bai Lin changed the subject and said, "Brother Jingchen, you also know that although my sister is a county lady, she is still young and doesn't know how treacherous people are. She is also beautiful, so it is inevitable that some villains will covet her!
This was an offense, but she was kind-hearted and wanted to let it go. How could this be tolerated? If I tell others about it, wouldn't others blame me, as a brother, for not doing anything?
Brother Jingchen, you also have a sister, so you can understand my feelings, right? "
Zhong Jingchen looked embarrassed, not knowing whether he should agree with Bai Lin. He did have a few concubine sisters, but they could not compare with the county lord.
So to be fair, if he were Bai Lin, he wouldn't let it go so easily.
But he is Zhong Jingyu’s brother now!
