Chapter 656: The Criticism from Zhu Tianyuan
Day and night alternate, and a new day begins.
Zhu Zhengting strictly followed Lu Feng's request and did not go out the whole day.
In order to prevent spies from surrounding him, he even gave all the bodyguards, drivers and nannies vacation and dismissed everyone.
But even though there was no one by his side, he always felt as if a sword was hanging over his head, as if it would fall at any time.
Three days went by like this, and the imagined assassination did not happen.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhengting plucked up the courage to step out of the house and continued to go to the old house to play the emotional card.
Lu Feng naturally knew about this, but he didn't say anything. After all, if you are a thief for a thousand days, you can't be on guard against thieves for a thousand days.
If Zhu Zhengting just stays at home and doesn't go out, he will eventually be squeezed out.
Of course, Lu Feng was not completely unprepared. He sent two of his bodyguards out to secretly protect Zhu Zhengting.
On the other hand, due to Zhu Zhengting's plan of retreat, Zhang Xiuying and Zhu Zhenglin didn't know where to start for a while.
"Mom, this guy hasn't shown up for several days and even dismissed everyone around him. What on earth is he trying to do? The assassin I hired from abroad can't stay in Shenzhen for too long. There will be hidden dangers."
In the Zhu family's old house, Zhu Zhenglin looked around and made sure that there was no one around before he spoke.
When Zhang Xiuying heard this, she immediately glared at her son.
"Why are you saying this here? Do you want to die?"
"This old house is full of your father's people. Normally, even I have to be careful when I speak. How dare you?"
Zhu Zhenglin curled his lips after being scolded, but when he saw his mother's eyes, he nodded obediently.
"I see. I'm just being too anxious. As long as he's alive, I'll be feeling uneasy."
How could Zhang Xiuying not understand this? She was about to persuade her son to be patient, but she heard footsteps behind her. She quickly shut her mouth and gave her son a testy look.
"Xiaoying, Zhenglin, what are you two talking about here?"
A deep voice was heard, and Zhu Tianyuan's figure appeared behind them.
When Zhang Xiuying and Zhu Zhenglin heard the deep voice, they were so frightened that they trembled all over like two frightened rabbits.
Zhu Zhenglin tried to calm himself down, but his voice still trembled uncontrollably, and he stammered:
"Dad...we...we were just discussing some things in the company."
"As you know, the company I'm in charge of has recently taken on several projects that are quite difficult. Various problems have arisen one after another. We are trying to figure out how to better advance the projects and bring the company greater profits."
Zhang Xiuying quickly feigned composure and agreed, "Yes, it's about the company. Zhenglin is so focused on running the company's business that he's always busy."
"Well, now that you have some free time, you're discussing it with me in detail, hoping to come up with some good solutions to those problems."
Zhu Tianyuan frowned slightly, as if thinking about what they said. After a moment, his expression, which was originally a little doubtful, eased a little, and he said to Zhu Zhenglin earnestly:
"Zhenglin, work is important, but don't overwork yourself. Your health is the foundation of the revolution. You need to relax occasionally. Don't keep your nerves tense all the time. It's not worth it if you exhaust yourself."
Zhu Zhenglin nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, yes, Dad, I understand. Don't worry. I will definitely pay attention to the balance between work and rest in the future and won't make you worry about me anymore."
At this moment, Zhang Xiuying's eyes rolled, and then she pretended to ask Zhu Tianyuan casually: "Hey, Tianyuan, I heard that Zhengting has actually started to change slowly during this period of time, right?"
When Zhu Tianyuan heard this, a pleased smile immediately appeared on his face, his eyes full of expectation. He nodded and said:
"That's right, Zhengting has really become a different person recently. I don't know if he's really come to his senses, but he's much more reliable than before and has started to think about the family. If he can continue like this, it would be a good thing. Our family will be more harmonious."
However, Zhu Tianyuan did not notice that when he was speaking, a hint of viciousness quickly flashed across Zhang Xiuying's eyes. The look was like an ice-cold arrow, or a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.
After a fleeting moment, she immediately put on a gentle smile and said hypocritically:
"It would be great if Zhengting could reform. When he fell into decline before, I saw it with my own eyes and felt heartbroken. As an elder, I've been worried about him a lot and just hope he can get back on the right path soon."
She had thought that this statement could please Zhu Tianyuan and conceal her tracks at the same time, but it would have been better if she hadn't said it. Once she said it, Zhu Tianyuan immediately remembered some of the things Zhu Zhengting had said to him before, about being secretly targeted and suffering a lot of grievances in this family.
A hint of coldness immediately flashed across Zhu Tianyuan's face, and his eyes became sharp. When he looked at Zhang Xiuying again, there was an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Zhang Xiuying noticed her husband's change, and her heart tightened. She felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to her heart. Just as she was about to speak, trying to explain something to save the situation, she heard Zhu Tianyuan say in a cold tone:
"I don't want to know about the past, nor do I want to pursue who was right or wrong. But from today on, Zheng Ting is the eldest son of the Zhu family, and I will restore all his rights."
"You all better remember this. It's best not to let me know that someone is secretly trying to trip him up. If I find out, don't blame me for being ruthless."
When the last sentence was uttered, Zhang Xiuying and Zhu Zhenglin suddenly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. They felt cold all over and froze in place.
Although Zhu Tianyuan didn't say it explicitly, they knew in their hearts that he was talking about them.
Zhu Zhenglin's face turned pale and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He secretly glanced at his mother, his eyes full of fear and helplessness.
Zhang Xiuying was also in great confusion, but she still pretended to be calm, laughed dryly and said:
"Tianyuan, what are you talking about? We are all so happy that Zhengting has changed for the better. How could anyone try to trip him up? Just don't worry."
But she herself felt unsure about what she said, and could only secretly think about how to deal with this sudden change.
When Zhu Tianyuan saw his wife's appearance, he left without staying for long.
