Chapter 123 - Reason

“He was beaten?”

Zhao Zhan looked at the attendant and asked anxiously, “Where is he? I have to take a look.”

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Jiaojia. “Jiaojiao, why don’t I get him to send you back first? I’m worried that you might get injured.”

“There’s no need.” Yue Jiaojiao shook her head, “Let’s go and take a look. After all, Fang Tianliu came to Wangshan Town because of us.”

“He’s at West Street. If you go there, you’ll see him. It’s very noisy there.”

The attendant pointed out the direction, and Zhao Zhan nimbly paid for the jewelry he had just picked out. Then, he carried his lover and ran in the direction of West Street. The attendant wanted to chase after him, but he disappeared after crossing a street.

“Is Zhao Zhan even human? How did he run that quickly with someone on his back??”

West Street was in disarray.

When Zhao Zhan arrived, he saw a large crowd of people noisily surrounding the street. He had Yue Jiaojiao in his arms to protect her and squeezed through the crowd. He then saw someone holding a wooden stick from behind, trying to sneak an attack on Fang Tianliu.

“Stop!”

Zhao Zhan took a step forward and held down the stick. He raised his leg and kicked the man far away.

Fang Tianliu, who noticed the commotion behind him, was touched. “You’ve finally come.”

He had just finished her sentence when he saw Zhao Zhan holding onto Yue Jiaojiao’s wrist with a worried look on his face, pulling her to his side. “How is it? Are you hurt?”

Fang Tianliu was speechless.

Seeing that Yue Jiaojiao wasn’t scared, Zhao Zhan let out a long sigh of relief and held the rod in his hand. He turned to look at Fang Tianliu and asked, “Who is he? What’s going on?”

The man who had wanted to launch a sneak attack earlier clutched his stomach in pain and looked at Zhao Zhan with a venomous expression. “Why don’t you find out by asking him? Are you his brother? Since you’re here, you can pay for it. He broke my jade pendant, so if he doesn’t pay me a thousand silver, I won’t let this matter pass!”

“Can you let me say something?” After swallowing his words back, Fang Tianliu couldn’t take it anymore. He hid behind Zhao Zhan and bragged, “Zhao Zhan, don’t listen to him! What kind of lousy jade pendant was worth a thousand silver? The one hanging on my waist is more like it, he’s blackmailing me!

“In all my life, only my heavenly salary has taken the initiative to give silver. No one has been able to extort silver from my hands!

“My brother is here today. Don’t even think about getting a single copper and-”

“Fang Tianliu!” Yue Jiaojiao heard that this person was not getting to the point, so she opened her mouth and asked, “Tell me and Zhao Zhan what happened in a simple way. Don’t exaggerate or talk nonsense.”

Fang Tianliu scratched his nose.

Zhao Zhan’s wife looked like she could be blown away by a gust of wind, so why was he intimidated by her shout just now? Zhao Zhan must have had a hard life.

“Zhao Zhan and I are starting a business together, and I followed his instructions to look for one on West Street. This morning, my men told me that there were two good shops here. So thought to discuss it with Zhao Zhan after I’m satisfied with the shop.

“But this guy, the shop owner, is really unreliable. I’ve been waiting for him for more than an hour, but he still didn’t come. I was really bored standing in front of the shop, so I thought I’d go for a walk since it was so lively around. Who knew that guy would bump into me?

“He was the one who hit me first, and I didn’t think much of it. He just said that his jade pendant was broken because of me!

“Someone like him shamelessly said that his jade pendant was from Beauty Pavilion! His head must be u in space! You don’t know your place!”
