return of the king

Zhou Mingren did what he said, he said he was going to Cao's house, and soon asked the housekeeper to pack up the basic daily necessities he was going to bring to Cao's house.

After packing up his things, fearing that Zhou Yingli would stop him, Zhou Mingren and the housekeeper sneaked out even though it was three o'clock in the middle of the night before dawn.

The housekeeper drove Zhou Mingren to the address Zhou Mingren gave him.

Seeing the "small" house and "small" garden in front of him, Zhou Mingren frowned.

"Do Yin Li and Li Xi live in such a small place? Will it be too crowded?"

"Master, have you forgotten, when we went to the small residence where the little master Li Xi moved out, the house we saw was even smaller, and the little master Li Xi doesn't seem to mind living in a small place," said the housekeeper.

He even wondered if Zhou's old house was too big, so Zhou Lixi didn't want to come back to live in it.

But he didn't dare to say that.

"Well, if Li Xi is satisfied, I will reluctantly accept it."

Even so, Zhou Mingren's expression was still ugly.

The butler secretly sweated: Master, it is you who want to live in someone else's house now!Are you embarrassed?

I don't know if it's because the lights are dim or Zhou Mingren is in a bad mood, but the housekeeper always feels that Zhou Mingren's expression looks extremely gloomy at this time.

"Should we wake them up now to open the door and let the master in?" the butler asked tentatively.

Yin Li was talking to Zhou Yingli before, but after two hours, she should have fallen asleep too.

Now at four o'clock, the sky is still very dark, at least until six or seven o'clock the sky will have light.The Cao family's house was completely dark, and there was no doubt that they were still asleep.

"No, let's wait in the car and let them open the door when they wake up."

Zhou Mingren already knew that he should be considerate of others, besides, he came here as a guest, so he must not bother the hosts too much, so he decided to spend a few hours in the car.

The butler was reluctant for Zhou Mingren to do this, but he was too embarrassed to wake others up, so he could only obey Zhou Mingren's orders.

"Master, go to the back seat of the car and take a rest. You can barely lie down there."

With that said, the butler opened the door of the back seat of the car.

Zhou Mingren nodded and sat in, but he didn't lie down.

"master?"

"I'll just sit down."

How could Zhou Mingren sleep now, thinking of their reaction after seeing him, he was very worried.

Will they not welcome him, the once domineering and authoritarian old stubborn?

In the past, he still favored Zhou Lingsheng, and he didn't know whether Yin Li and Li Xi would accept him to live with them.

Thinking of this, Zhou Mingren panicked.

The housekeeper knew Zhou Mingren's concerns, so he comforted him: "Master, don't think too much, the second young mistress and young master Li Xi are very filial, and they must be very happy to see you here."

"I hope so." Zhou Mingren was not relieved by the butler's words.

"Master, lie down and rest for a while, you will see Dafu's family tomorrow, don't you want to see them in a good state?"

"Yes!" Zhou Mingren suddenly realized, "I'll lie down and sleep for a while, and you can ring the doorbell when I wake up and get dressed!"

With that said, Zhou Mingren lay down on the back seat of the car.

The butler thought of one thing and said, "Master, you lie down well. I'll drive the car aside and don't stop at the door. Otherwise, before we ring the doorbell, they will wake up and find our car parked at their door." Come out and ask about the situation."

"Well, you pull the car aside and park." Zhou Mingren agreed.

The housekeeper didn't drive the car far away, but stopped at the nearby roadside.

As long as he doesn't park at the door like before, he thought, the people of Cao's family should ignore his parking on the side of the road.

Not long after, Zhou Mingren fell asleep, but the housekeeper didn't dare to sleep. He waited until dawn.

Just as he thought, in the morning, someone who looked like a maid in Cao's house was cleaning near the door. When she saw their car parked here, she just glanced at it and didn't come to ask about the situation.

The butler breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Zhou Mingren's child sleeping, the housekeeper didn't wake up Zhou Mingren even though the Cao family was already bustling.

But the butler overlooked one thing. He was driving Zhou Mingren's favorite car when he went out. The Cao family didn't know it, but Yin Li recognized it.

Yin Li pulled Zhou Lixi by the window on the second floor and pointed to the car parked not far from the door, and said, "Look, Lixi!"

Zhou Lixi narrowed his eyes when he saw it.

Without asking, he also recognized that this car was someone's exclusive car.

The person who likes to drive this 40-year-old Rolls-Royce is that person.

"Master Zhou is here, what should we do? Is he here to find fault?" Yin Li was very worried.

Apart from this possibility, she couldn't think of what else he could do here.

Zhou Lixi had a different idea from Yin Li.

"I don't know what he wants to do here, but I know that his purpose must not be what you think."

When he and Dafu left Zhou's house last time, the old man gave them both "blessings", and now he will definitely not do anything like beating mandarin ducks.

"Shall we go down and have a look?" Yin Li asked.

"No, he'll come in if he wants to. Maybe he's planning something if he doesn't come in. Don't go over there and ruin his business."

Obviously, Zhou Lixi understood Zhou Mingren's Zuo Feng better than Yin Li, and it was right to the point.

At noon, the car finally moved a little bit, but instead of driving to the door, it drove away!Yin Li was extremely puzzled.

What Yin Li didn't know was that Zhou Mingren planned to ask the housekeeper to ring the doorbell when he woke up, but he slept for eight or nine hours, his clothes were all wrinkled, and his teeth were not brushed, so naturally he didn't dare to meet the Cao family. .

It was the first time he met Dafu's "maiden's family", he didn't want to meet people in this state, so he asked the housekeeper to drive to a hotel, wait for him to wash up and take a rest before coming again.

The housekeeper sighed secretly.

If the old man had said this earlier, they would have gone to the hotel right away, and he wouldn't have to blame himself for sleeping for hours in the small space in the back seat of the car!

After entering the room, when the old man went in to brush his teeth, the butler took the time to call the hotel waiter to deliver the food to the room.

They tossed and tossed until past four o'clock last night. They didn't eat breakfast or lunch. He was starving, and I believe the old man was hungry too.

The butler was right, Zhou Mingren was hungry, but he didn't expect Zhou Mingren to have no appetite to eat even though he was hungry.

After a few words of persuasion, Zhou Mingren ate something.

There were two big dark circles on the butler's face. His eyes were getting smaller and smaller, and he was very interested in closing and opening them. It was obvious that he was sleepy.

Zhou Mingren made a decision.

"You go to bed first, and we will go to Cao's house after you have rested."

"Master..." The housekeeper didn't want to waste Zhou Mingren's time.

"You said that I want to meet people in a good state. You are our housekeeper and the representative of the Zhou family. You also have to meet people with a bright side!"

Zhou Mingren's words blocked everything the butler was about to say, making him unable to speak again.

"Then I'll go to the sofa to sleep, and the master will continue to rest on the bed."

"Don't worry about yourself, open another room, you can sleep in the bed."

"Master is here alone, I don't feel at ease, and I can't sleep well. I'm by my side, even if I sleep on the sofa, I'm happy."

Zhou Mingren smiled, "Haha~ When did your mouth become sweet?"

The butler laughed along with him, but didn't speak.

"If I let you sleep in bed, you definitely don't want to."

The housekeeper was terrified.

How dare he sleep on the bed and let the old man sleep on the sofa!

"Don't be afraid, I won't force you to sleep in a big bed. How about this, you call someone to send a bed in, anyway, it's big here."

"master……"

Even so, the housekeeper still didn't dare to agree.

"Go, it's hard for me to rest at ease if you haven't done it well."

This is a "threat"!

But the butler had no choice but to nod his head and follow suit.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening when the butler woke up, Zhou Mingren was still lying on the bed, but his eyes were open.

Zhou Mingren didn't know when he had already taken a shower, so he dug out the pajamas in the suitcase and put them on.

The butler saw it and panicked: "Master, why...you can wake me up and let me help!"

"Don't talk about it, you also go to take a shower and change your clothes. Let's go to Cao's house."

"Yes."

The housekeeper didn't dare to delay, and immediately dug out a set of clean clothes and ran into the bathroom.

After the housekeeper went into the bathroom, Zhou Mingren called someone to bring in dinner.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when they finished their dinner, changed their clothes and came to Cao's house again.

"Sir, did I ring the doorbell?"

Zhou Mingren had been standing at the door for several minutes, and if he didn't ask the Cao family to open the door, he was afraid that Zhou Mingren would wait forever.

"En." Zhou Mingren responded lightly.

The butler mustered up his courage and pressed the doorbell.
