return of the king

Chapter 229 Sophistry

"Grandpa..." Zhou Lingsheng knelt outside the big iron gate and yelled.

There is only Zhou's family nearby. He is not afraid of being seen by other family members, but it is inevitable for his own servants to see him in such a desperate state.

When the servant was working, he looked towards the door from time to time, seeing Zhou Lingsheng kneeling under the sun, he was really relieved.

Unlike yelling, Zhou Lingsheng only knelt at the door for a few minutes before the old man asked the servant to open the door and let him in.

It's not that he doesn't want Zhou Lingsheng to kneel on the ground, it's just that he doesn't want Zhou Lingsheng to be ashamed of kneeling outside.No matter how unwilling he was to admit it, Zhou Lingsheng was still a descendant of the Zhou family.When he knelt down in public, he lost not only his own face, but also the Zhou family's dignity.

"grandfather!"

Zhou Lingsheng didn't know the reason why Zhou Mingren let him in, and thought that Zhou Mingren had forgiven him, so when he saw Zhou Mingren, he jumped forward happily.

Zhou Mingren moved aside to avoid Zhou Lingsheng's embrace.

With a cold face, he said cruel words: "Our Zhou family does not have you as a descendant, I am not your grandfather!"

"grandfather……"

Seeing that Zhou Mingren hadn't forgiven him yet, Zhou Lingsheng panicked.

He came to beg the old man to save him, but the old man is still angry, what should he say?

"If it's not embarrassing, I really want Ying to make a public statement saying that I will sever the relationship between father and son and grandparents with you!"

Zhou Mingren didn't care about Zhou Lingsheng's reaction after hearing this, he limped to the sofa and sat down.

His words not only express that he does not want to recognize Zhou Lingsheng, but also express that he wants to sever ties with Zhou Lingsheng's father.

Hearing Zhou Mingren's heartless words, Zhou Lingsheng ran to him and knelt on the ground, hugging his leg and begging for mercy: "Grandpa, I know I was wrong. If you hit me again in the future, I promise not to run away!"

"You child is hopeless, and I won't beat you anymore, so as not to waste my energy."

"grandfather……"

Zhou Lingsheng begged several times, but he still failed to get Zhou Mingren's forgiveness.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Lingsheng didn't dare to waste any more time, and was about to tell his purpose of coming back.

"Grandpa, let's not talk about this for now. I have something urgent to tell you. Can we talk in the study?" Zhou Lingsheng didn't want his servants to hear what he was going to say.

"You still have the nerve to talk about the study? You, a scum, are not qualified to enter my study!"

Hearing Zhou Lingsheng mentioning the study that he once regarded as a sacred place, Zhou Mingren's expression became even uglier.

"Grandpa..." Zhou Lingsheng nervously looked around at the servants, as if he was worried about something.

"Go down." Zhou Mingren ordered the servants to leave.

Zhou Lingsheng hesitated to speak, Zhou Mingren guessed that what he said could not be heard by anyone other than himself, so he retreated.

After the servant left the hall and closed the door, before Zhou Mingren could ask, Zhou Lingsheng immediately stated his purpose for coming back.

"Grandpa, there are many rumors smearing me outside now, you have to find a way to help me clarify these rumors!"

This is what Zhou Lingsheng came up with after careful consideration. He didn't mention the content and authenticity of the rumor, and only asked Zhou Mingren to settle it for him.

It was said that Zhou Mingren was asked to find a way, but in fact, Zhou Mingren was asked Zhou Yingli and Zhou Lixi to help him.

Zhou Mingren was not stupid, he was not fooled by Zhou Lingsheng, and asked, "What did the rumor say?"

He was too lazy to ask for details before, but after knowing what Zhou Lingsheng had done, he no longer believed in Zhou Lingsheng.Now he will no longer be at the mercy of Zhou Lingsheng. If Zhou Lingsheng doesn't make it clear to let him weigh the gains and losses, he will not help him out of the predicament.

"Rumors say, say..." Zhou Lingsheng hesitated for a long time, but couldn't tell the content of the rumor.

The rumors were definitely not good. Zhou Mingren had long doubted the veracity of the rumors. After seeing Zhou Lingsheng's reaction, he understood that the rumors were right, otherwise Zhou Lingsheng would not be speechless.

If he was wronged, why didn't he make a loud noise to avenge himself?The current appearance of this coward must have been hit by rumors, so he dared not tell him the content of the rumors.

rumor?

Zhou Mingren sneered in his heart: Since it is true, is it still a rumor?

"Don't say it? It's okay! Don't think of me helping you." Zhou Mingren looked like Zhou Lingsheng didn't have to discuss it if he didn't say anything.

With that said, he stood up and seemed to be planning to leave.

Zhou Lingsheng immediately hugged Zhou Mingren's thigh tightly, "I say, I say!"

Although he assured Zhou Mingren in this way, Zhou Lingsheng was thinking about what kind of lies he should fabricate, so that the rumors he said would become fabricated remarks instead of facts.

"Yes, yes...it means me..." Zhou Lingsheng made up a lie.

As long as Zhou Mingren is willing to tell Zhou Yingli and Zhou Lixi that they can help, even if the content of the rumor is different from what he said, it doesn't matter, because Zhou Yingli and Zhou Lixi will not specifically tell the old man what the rumors they deal with are about.

Seeing Zhou Lingsheng roll his eyes a few times, Zhou Mingren knew what he was planning.

"There is no need to make a fuss about such a trivial matter. Anyway, it is a rumor without theoretical basis, and it will be broken."

Zhou Mingren moved his feet a few times, trying to shake Zhou Lingsheng away.

"Grandpa..." Zhou Lingsheng was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Zhou Mingren has always loved him the most. If there is any small matter that is not good for him, Zhou Mingren will let Zhou Yingli, Zhou Lixi or Yin Li deal with it, but this time Zhou Mingren's reaction is too cold.

Zhou Lingsheng really wanted to know what was written in the thing that Zhou Lixi gave back then, which made the old man's love for him disappear!

"Do you really think I'm so stupid that I can't even tell if you're lying or telling the truth?!" Zhou Mingren said pointedly.

He is not only talking about this event, but also about the past.

He wanted Zhou Lingsheng to know that it wasn't that he couldn't see the truth of what he said, it was just that he turned a blind eye to pretending not to know because he had spoiled him before.

Zhou Lingsheng's face turned green and pale at what Zhou Mingren said.

"Grandpa, what did my cousin Li Xi show you last time? I know my cousin can't stand you pampering me. It's very likely that he fabricated it on purpose to discredit me!"

Zhou Lingsheng knew that it was after that incident that Zhou Mingren stopped pampering him, and it must have been written against him.He thought that as long as he denied what was written above, he would be able to regain Zhou Mingren's favor.

"You don't tell the true content of the rumors, and you still argue for the last time. It's really hopeless!"

This kid Li Xi never lied, even about his homosexuality, he just didn't tell them or deceive them.But Lingsheng has always been full of lies, Zhou Lixi and Zhou Lingsheng, he must choose to believe the information given by Zhou Lixi.

Zhou Lingsheng didn't even know what was written in the information, and even said that Li Xi slandered him, Zhou Mingren was really disappointed in him.

"Get out, get out immediately!" Zhou Mingren swung Zhou Lingsheng with the crutch in his hand.

"Grandpa..." Zhou Lingsheng immediately let go of Zhou Mingren's hand.

Earlier, Zhou Lingsheng also said that Zhou Mingren would not run away after beating him, but Zhou Mingren only hit him a few times with the crutches, and then he hid aside with his head in his arms.

"I really regret that I didn't strangle you when your mother gave birth to you!" Zhou Mingren threw down a cruel sentence, and then walked towards the stairs.

Zhou Lingsheng was afraid that his last chance would be lost, so he ran to the stairs first and knelt down.

"Grandpa, let me tell you, I will never lie to you this time!" Fearing that the master would not listen to him again, Zhou Lingsheng immediately told the story, "The rumor said that I was corrupt and took bribes, and the superiors even sent someone to talk to me, God knows I didn't do such a thing!"

He only told a part of the rumors, and he didn't dare to tell about beating his wife and taking care of his lover, for fear that Zhou Mingren would become suspicious if he said too much.

Zhou Lingsheng was afraid that Zhou Mingren would know that these things were not groundless remarks but facts, but he didn't know that Zhou Mingren had already known these things.

Zhou Mingren rushed forward angrily, and beat Zhou Lingsheng again with his crutches.

"Is this a rumor? Is this a rumor? This is..." Zhou Mingren repeated the same rhetorical question while typing.

Zhou Mingren said this as if he knew something, Zhou Lingsheng was shocked, this time he really didn't hide and let Zhou Mingren beat him.

After being hit by Zhou Mingren several times in a row, Zhou Lingsheng finally came to his senses, and said hoarsely: "Grandpa, have you heard something? It's all fake, not real!"

At this moment, Zhou Lingsheng was still arguing.

Zhou Mingren was the only one who would help him. If Zhou Mingren believed these things and refused to help him, he would die.

He doesn't want to spend the rest of his life in prison. Even if he gets out of prison in a few years or more than ten years, he will be ashamed to see others.Besides, is the poor life in prison a human life?He doesn't want that kind of life!

In order to avoid prison, he can only insist that he is innocent.

Zhou Mingren played for more than ten minutes and was tired.

Holding on to his crutches, he panted and rested for a long time, and said, "You don't need to quibble anymore, I know it all, these are not rumors at all, you have the face to ask me to help you, and I have no face to ask them to help you! Get out of here , die as you like, don't stand in the way of me!"

"Grandpa, you must save me. If you don't save me, I will really go to jail." Zhou Lingsheng finally confirmed that Zhou Mingren knew about the bad things he had done.

Zhou Lingsheng really cried next time, he hugged Zhou Mingren's feet and begged again.

"Grandpa, you have to help me, I don't want to go to jail, I don't want..."

Zhou Mingren took a deep breath, and said to the servant outside the door: "Come in and take this brat away!"

The maid came in and pawed a few times, but failed to separate Zhou Lingsheng and Zhou Mingren.

Later, two men in charge of gardening came in to help Zhou Lingsheng and Zhou Mingren pull away.

"Grandpa, you have to save me!" Zhou Lingsheng couldn't care less about face anymore, crying in front of the servant.

Zhou Mingren turned his back to Zhou Lingsheng, until Zhou Lingsheng was pulled outside, he didn't say whether he wanted to help Zhou Lingsheng.
