Chapter 44: Who Exactly Is It (Part 2)
"It's all right, I can hardly accept such a rare courtesy." Although it was unexpected, after a moment, he withdrew his gaze from Zhou Mingluo and a hint of warm anger flashed on Ren Zhongshan's face, his tone even colder.
He naturally got annoyed, to think that just now he hadn't even agreed to let the other party in, yet this guy directly swaggered over, where was the intention of putting him, the master, in his eyes?
"Old man, our two families have always been on good terms, no need to make a fuss over a small matter, today I came with sincerity to wish you a happy birthday." Seeing Ren Zhongshan's cold reaction, Shi Liang's face also showed a hint of displeasure. He had rushed over today with good intentions, hoping to make amends with the Ren family.
It's still because of that thing the other day, Ren Zhongshan let his youngest son investigate, although he was suppressed by him, but he didn't want to quarrel with the Ren family over this matter. And his behavior of entering without Ren Zhongshan's consent just now wasn't that he didn't understand etiquette, but rather it was intentional.
Even if he doesn't want to quarrel with the Ren family, he has to make it clear to the other party that he is not afraid of the Ren family, but just doesn't want to cause trouble. Warning you, old man Ren, don't rely on your age and seniority, since I didn't snatch anything from you, this old fellow, what right do you have to come out and say that I broke some rules after eating your fill?
He really doesn't buy into this nonsense.
"Hmph! A small matter? On the contrary, it's saved me some trouble. I'm still a man of self-awareness, and I fear I won't be able to bear Shi Shao's great gift, so please take it back."
Ren Zhongshan glanced at Zhou Mingluo again and then continued to speak.
That longevity peach is precious, not only is it a beautiful and pure jade color, like mid-to-high grade beautiful jade, the carving work is also top-notch, but he really doesn't put it in his eyes.
"Really?" Shi Liang paused for a moment, looking at Ren Zhongshan with a serious expression. He just didn't want to make things worse, but this old man Ren really thought he was afraid of the Ren family?
But before he could continue, he suddenly felt a scorching gaze staring at him, and when he turned his head to look, he found that Zhou Mingluo was staring at him with a pair of eyes.
At this moment, Zhou Ming Luo was really excited. He knew who had almost destroyed Fang Shu's family and finally saw that person. He clearly understood that he couldn't do anything to the other party at this time, so he relied on his rationality to barely suppress his anger just now. Otherwise, he feared that if he wasn't careful, he might have even killed Shi Liang's heart.
But even if he restrained himself, he still couldn't calm down completely, and looked at Shi Liang as if he were a stranger.
A pair of eyes stared at the figure in front, Zhou Ming's fists clenched together again, and his short fingernails dug deep into the soft flesh of his palms once more.
While he appeared to be excited on the surface, in reality his eyes were filled with anger. Suddenly, Shi Liang's eyebrows furrowed even more severely, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he also turned around and looked at Ren Zhongshan with a hint of coldness, "Master Ren, I respected you as an elder and came over to wish you a happy birthday out of kindness. Since you don't need it, then I'll just consider this trip a waste."
He then waved his hand and said to the thin man holding the longevity peach, "Xu Feng, let's go."
"I won't send it!" Ren Zhongshan's face still looked very unpleasant, and he spoke again in a cold tone.
However, this made Shi Liang's face, which was originally slightly unpleasant, suddenly bloom like a flower, "The door of the Ren family is getting harder and harder to enter, Xu Feng, don't you think?"
Xu Feng smiled faintly and didn't respond, but instead followed closely behind Shi Liang.
As they walked out the door, Shi Liang suddenly turned around and gave Zhou Mingluo a light glance. "I don't like him, Old Master Ren, I'm leaving."
Having said this, he resolutely walked towards the outside of the house.
He believed that old man from Ren Zhong Shan understood his meaning.
Perhaps when viewed separately, the sentence is just a simple complaint, he doesn't like Zhou Ming Luo as a person, a very straightforward evaluation. However, if you connect the two sentences before and after, the meaning becomes completely different.
"The gate of Ren's house is getting harder and harder to enter."
I don't like him.
That's why Sheng Yitai was very angry when he was pushed away by Ren Zhongshan, and he decided not to set foot in the Ren family again.
No longer set foot in the Ren family's door, that is to be at odds with the Ren family.
If he doesn't want to see his family being oppressed in Xinkai, it's not impossible, as long as you apologize for your actions. The way to apologize is to teach Zhou Mingluo a lesson and make him apologize to him.
Because he doesn't like this person at all!!
As long as you handle the apology well, he can completely pretend that today's incident never happened, of course, on the premise that your move makes him feel satisfied.
This is the hidden meaning under Shi Liang's words, he doesn't know Zhou Ming Luo at all and has no idea who the other person is. Today is Ren Zhong Shan's birthday, and those who can be privately invited to the study by Ren Zhong Shan before his birthday banquet must have some connection with Old Man Ren. However, these are not within Shi Liang's consideration.
Who made him dislike that guy's gaze? For such a small person, his own words can control everything about the other party, and he will not pay attention to anything.
"Young people, so arrogant!!"
Until the two of them had thoroughly left, Ren Zhongshan let out a heavy sigh and his face turned gloomy.
He was indeed arrogant and overbearing, also extremely disdainful, and almost suffocated him with anger.
Of course, at this moment, it was not just him who was furious. He Yilao on the other side was also trembling with rage, how could he not hear the hidden meaning in the other's words?
After all, these two are old men over fifty years old. If they can't even understand such simple words, they might as well have lived in vain.
Not to mention them, Zhou Ming Luo also clearly understood the meaning of Shi Liang's words, and at this moment he was even more humiliated, wanting to laugh loudly for a long time to vent his inner pain.
Finally found the culprit, but he didn't even have time to take any action, just because of his own bad eyesight towards others, and let the culprit humiliate him again. This kind of humiliation is really hard to bear.
He took a few deep breaths, and Zhou Ming Luo gradually forced himself to calm down again. His mouth even miraculously curved into a faint smile. Perhaps, in that person's eyes, he was indeed insignificant and could be easily eliminated at will. However, he had finally found his target and knew the direction of his efforts.
This is a good thing, at least it's much better than him not even knowing who the culprit was and where he was before today.
It's indeed something to be happy about, and worth celebrating.
"Are you okay, Ming Luo?" Also, when Zhou Mingluo smiled lightly, Ren Zhongshan's face turned red with anger, his expression tense with concern as he looked at Zhou Ming Luo. Wouldn't it be... not to mention the previous grudges between Zhou Ming Luo and Shi Liang, but just now that humiliation was extremely deep. If any normal person were ignored and bullied like that, they would probably feel unwell psychologically. So why did Zhou Ming Luo smile instead, and what's more, a genuine smile rather than a forced one?
He was somewhat suspicious that Zhou Ming Luo might have been confused.
"It's alright, thank you, brother. I should be thanking you for what happened today." Zhou Ming Luo smiled again and calmed down even further.
