The next morning, Xi Yu looked at Zong Du's wide-open pajamas with a face full of suspicion.

Zong Du lazily sat on the head of the bed, "You have been sleeping on the outside, you rolled over by yourself."

Xi Yu knew that he was not a good sleeper, but could it be to this extent?

She glanced at the hickey on Soudou's chest.

Soudou followed her gaze to her chest, "Yeah, you kissed it."

Xi Yu, "...I'm sorry, I might have dreamed about breastfeeding."

Zong Du's face darkened.

Then he lifted up the front of his clothes, threw back the quilt and got out of bed.

Xi Yu heaved a sigh of relief and got off the bed in annoyance, wondering what was wrong with her. She couldn't fall asleep when she was alone, and she wanted to roll over when Zong Du was lying there.

Does it have to be so despicable?

Xi Yu entered the bathroom only after Zong Du came out of the shower.

Just then, Xi Yu's phone rang, and Zong Du glanced at it.

It’s Zhuang Yi’s call.

Zong Du walked over, answered the call, and turned on the hands-free mode.

"Xixi, why haven't you come back yet?" As soon as the phone was connected, Zhuang Yi started complaining without waiting for the other party to say anything.

Soudou took the shirt and put it on, buttoning it slowly.

Zhuang Yi couldn't wait for Xi Yu's answer, and she wasn't surprised. "Yu Yu, your dad is pressing us so hard, and Mom really has no choice. How much money do you have? Did you really not want the compensation from the Lin family last time?

You have slept with the young master for so many years, even if there is no love between you, you have contributed to it, right? Go, go ask the young master for another two million, just two million!"

She seemed very anxious, and her voice unconsciously rose when she spoke.

"You can continue your relationship with the young master for another two years, no, five years! Xixi, you have to listen to your mother, I won't harm you, I——"

Xi Yu came out of the bathroom biting her lip. Zong Du turned around and looked at her. "Does she always talk to you like this?"

Before Xi Yu could speak, Zhuang Yi stopped talking.

After a moment of silence, Zhuang Yi asked doubtfully, "Master?"

Soudou responded, "It's me."

It was completely quiet over there on Zhuang Yi's side.

Xi Yu inappropriately recalled a sentence in his mind: Evildoers will be punished by their own evildoers.

Before the corners of his mouth could curl up, Xi Yu quickly asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"No, no more." Zhuang Yi said dryly.

"How could there be nothing?" Zong Du obviously didn't intend to let Zhuang Yi go. "Don't you want money? You want the two million yuan in compensation from the Lin family, and you also want Xi Yu to ask me for two hundred... no, five million yuan."

"Young Master, that's not what I meant. I..." Zhuang Yi stammered and tried to explain.

“I can tell whether it is or not.” Souto buttoned up his clothes, walked to the closet, opened the drawer, took out the tie clips and diamond cufflinks inside, and selected a pair.

Then he returned to the bedside and handed it to Xi Yu.

Xi Yu naturally took it and helped him put it on skillfully.

"The two million from the Lin family has been transferred to Zong Fu's card. She should be in... Mauritius now. I don't know if she has spent it all. Why don't you call her and ask her to pay it back to you?"

"No!" Zhuang Yi's voice was dry and hoarse, "Master, don't misunderstand me, I really mean that."

“As for giving Xi Yu five million…” Zong Du laughed sarcastically, “This is already the third year, there are still two years left.

I don’t know what Ms. Zhuang thinks of me. A masturbation cup should be worn out after three years of use.

And you still want me to renew for five years?"

Before Zhuang Yi could react, Xi Yi's face suddenly turned pale.

Zong Du said coldly, "If you want to sell your daughter to make money, you have to consider whether you are worth the price. Some things are just used to, but it doesn't mean you can't live without them.

Before Ms. Zhuang makes any plans, she'd better ask the buyer whether they can eat anything dirty or smelly."

After saying that, Zong Du ended the call directly.

"You..." Zong Du raised his head and was about to speak to Xi Yu, but saw that the other person's face was pale and his lips were tight.

He paused.

His anger just now was directed at Zhuang Yi, but he didn't consider whether these words would hurt Xi Yi.

"I just--"

"I know," Xi Yu forced a smile, "I know you are protecting me and taking this opportunity to teach my mother a lesson, I know."

But knowing it rationally doesn’t mean you don’t mind it in your heart.

It was the first time she heard Zong Du use those words to describe herself, and she felt a sense of sadness as if her heart was pierced by arrows and was riddled with wounds.

Zong Du was silent for a while, then said, "Change your clothes and go out with me."

"Let's eat first," Xi Yu said, "Your stomach is not good, just drink a little porridge in the morning, it will be fine soon."

After that she went to the kitchen.

Zong Du looked at the busy figures and wanted to say something several times, but the words couldn't come out when they came to his lips.

After breakfast, Zong Du didn't let Lu Rang come over, but drove himself.

Xi Yu sat in the passenger seat and had been looking out the window since he got in the car.

The road conditions were not very good during the rush hour, and a journey that was supposed to take half an hour took a full 48 minutes.

In addition, the atmosphere in the car was really bad, and Zong Du's face turned black when he got out of the car.

Xi Yu stood in front of the department store, looking up at the building, "Master, are you here so early in the morning... to shop?"

This department store is called MissTina, and it is a high-end department store that the Zong family just built two years ago. It is said that any piece of clothing here costs six figures, and it is specially provided for wealthy ladies.

"Not for me, for you."

Xi Yu was surprised, "Me?"

"Well, go buy a dress, it will be useful."

Why is she wearing a dress?!

Although the words were not spoken, the expression expressed it clearly.

Zong Du , "Accompany me to an internal party."

Xi Yu subconsciously wanted to ask Chu Ying?

Didn’t Chu Ying, who was a perfect match for him, come back with him?

Soto, "Have you seen the report about me?"

“...No.” Xi Yu looked away.

Sensing her guilty conscience, Zong Du raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "The news was released on purpose. Some were arranged by me, and some were arranged by my family."

"Oh, Master, you don't have to explain to me." Xi Yu hesitated.

"Well, no explanation," Sodo grabbed her wrist and pulled her inside, "I was just bored and said it casually."

Xi Yu pulled his hand back and followed behind Zong Du, "Master, it's really inappropriate for me to be here. Who am I to be worthy of—"

"Xi Yu," Zong Du stopped and turned to look at her, "You must respect yourself first before you can be respected by others."

Xi Yu tightened his lips.

"I don't think it's shameful to take you shopping for clothes, nor do I think it's wrong to take you to parties. My status, position and ability give me enough confidence to do so.

You should have too.”

Xi Yu blinked, the corners of his eyes turned pink, but the corners of his mouth curled up, "What confidence do I have? Climbing into the master's bed at the age of 18? Signing a five-year contract to sell myself to the young master?"

Zong Du paused for a moment, his face darkening.

There was silence for a moment.

Xi Yu blinked again, "Let's go, didn't the young master say he wanted to buy some clothes? This is a rare opportunity, I have to go shopping."

"Okay." Zong Du said.

The two of them went straight to the women's clothing area, one in front and one behind.

Zong Du had never been there, but all the department stores of the Zong family would send him revenue reports regularly, so Zong Du knew which one had the best business.

Following the sign, Zong Du took Xi Yu and headed straight to G's luxurious hotel.
