Chapter 499 Verdant Willows and Blooming Flowers

Maserati alongside Wang Zheng."Do you have time tonight I'll treat you to dinner," said Zhang Mingqi as she asked Wang Zheng to sit in the passenger seat and took over as his driver."Do you know any...Chapter 499 Blossoming Amidst Dark Willow

"So Zhu Qihua is also an important figure in the Su family" Zhang Mingqi's frown was even more charming.

If we talk about it strictly, she should be considered as a niece of Su Fuhua.

Zhang Mingqi’s mother, Su Huixin, should be seen as an illegitimate daughter of the second son in the Su family, Su Fudan. She was never favored within the Su clan, and her siblings all treated her with cold faces. Therefore, when the young Zhang Xiaoci showed affection to her, Su Huixin wasn’t afraid of opposition from the Su family and left with this poor boy.

But now she had angered these people in the Su family. In their eyes, whether a legitimate or an illegitimate daughter, Su Huixin was still part of the Su family. Moreover, this girl wasn't bad-looking either; back then, she was one of those rare beauties with countless promising young men vying to marry her through matchmakers. Originally, the Su clan could have used Su Huixin to forge a powerful alliance but somehow, this girl just wouldn’t listen and ran away with Zhang Xiaoci instead. This also led to later tragedies.

Therefore, for her mother's sake, Zhang Mingqi had the same goal as Wang Zheng—revenge against the Su family.

Some blood debts must be paid in blood.

Zhang Mingqi knew that her fate was now irrevocably tied to Wang Zheng.

To meet this man was her destiny, but also her calamity.

At this moment, however, Wang Zheng's phone rang.

"Captain, come quickly to the south suburbs, address number one hundred seventy-eight Tianfu Road. Come and help," Li Minghao’s voice came through with obvious joy in his tone.

"What happened" It was rare for Wang Zheng to see Li Minghao so joyful; this man usually didn't show his emotions and was even more reserved than Wang Zheng.

Of course, most people would be more reserved than Wang Zheng. This guy is definitely someone who will retaliate against every insult and fight over any slight.

"Chen Kang's restaurant is opening tomorrow! Don't you want to come and cheer him on" Li Minghao chuckled.

"Really Then I have to hurry over!" After Wang Zheng hung up the phone, he said to Zhang Mingqi: "A comrade's restaurant is opening tonight. I'll go there first to help out. Will you head there tomorrow"

"Of course I'm going to cheer him on." There was a hint of yearning in Zhang Mingqi's eyes: "I also want to meet your comrade, but it seems that you won't be able to accompany me tonight."

"Uh, this... I'll make up for it later." What should have been an incredibly wonderful night had been ruined by Zhu Hui. As Chen Kang's restaurant is opening tomorrow, Wang Zheng definitely couldn't spare time to accompany Zhang Mingqi.

"How will you compensate me" Zhang Mingqi's eyes seemed to have the ability to enchant someone, as if they could steal one's heart away in an instant.

"I'll make it up like this."

Wang Zheng smiled slightly and took a step forward. He reached out his large hand and gently grabbed Zhang Mingqi’s firm buttocks, the incomparable sensation making one feel utterly enchanted.

"You're really a rogue." Zhang Mingqi stepped back, Wang Zheng's actions really causing her to blush.

Just as Wang Zheng was about to hail a taxi and leave, Zhang Mingquan ran out and tossed him a set of car keys: "Uncle-in-law, take my car."

It was still that Bentley Mulsanne.

In Zhang Mingquan's eyes, Wang Zheng saw a look of gratitude. All signs of arrogance were gone, his words full of sincerity.

"Good lad." Wang Zheng took the car keys and prepared to leave but was called back by Zhang Mingquan once again.

"Uncle-in-law."

"What for"

"Thank you." Zhang Mingquan said very seriously.

"Don't worry, there's more to come." Wang Zheng smiled slightly and started the car.

"Brother-in-law, there's one more thing."

"What is it Why can’t you say everything at once It’s not shameful for a grown man to be so hesitant," said Wang Zheng with a撇了撇嘴(slight roll of the eyes).

"You said you would teach me kung fu." Zhang Mingquan was afraid that Wang Zheng had forgotten about it. Today he had hit someone and felt quite satisfied.

"Run ten thousand meters every day, do five hundred push-ups, sit-ups, and squats." Wang Zheng said nonchalantly: "Train for a month first, then come to find me."

"Ah That much" Zhang Mingquan's hopeful face immediately turned into a苦瓜(sad gourd).

"You can handle it," said Wang Zheng with a smile as he started the car.

Due to being too busy, ever since bringing Mr. and Mrs. Chen Kang to Beijing, Wang Zheng had entrusted them to Li Minghao and didn't ask about anything further. After the chance encounter in Southern Jiang where he met Chen Kang and brought him to Beijing, Wang Zheng wanted his wife Huahong to open a restaurant, not for profit but hoping that this national hero living under an assumed name would no longer suffer cold ridicule from ignorant villagers.

Seeing his trusted battle comrade have a stable life in the capital made Wang Zheng very happy.

While driving, he was making calls to ensure that the grand opening of Chen Kang and Huahong's small restaurant would be a huge success. This little eatery would become the most popular restaurant!

The last time he came to the southern suburbs of Beijing was due to Ningxia. Now this girl had returned to Southern Jiang, bravely starting a new life.

No. 178 Tianfu Road is already quite remote, mostly occupied by factories or farms, rarely visited by people.

Who in their right mind would open a restaurant so far away It wouldn’t even cover the cost of fuel!

However, when Wang Zheng arrived there, he truly felt a sense of enlightenment.

Even at night, it was brightly lit and festively decorated.

A two-story classical building stood by the roadside, looking serene. When Wang Zheng parked his car, a peaceful atmosphere enveloped him.

A large sign hung on the small building with bold Wei script characters reading: "Willows Darken as Flowers Bloom."

Wang Zheng smiled inwardly; clearly, this small restaurant's name was inspired by Chen Kang’s wife Honghua. Moreover, there seemed to be another layer of meaning in the name, suggesting an end to old life and a new beginning.

With a faint smile, Wang Zheng shook his head. He knew that Chen Kang couldn’t have come up with this idea; it must be Li Minghao's work.

On the second floor of the building, Li Minghao was hanging lanterns on the windowsill. If someone from the capital’s underworld saw their emperor personally handling such trivial matters, they would likely be shocked into disbelief.

The Qinghong gang members were busily cleaning and working enthusiastically; seeing their boss roll up his sleeves and join in made it difficult for them not to work hard.

Upon spotting Wang Zheng arriving, Li Minghao flipped over, jumping directly from the second floor onto the ground with remarkable stability!

The Qinghong gang members were all stunned; they knew their boss was formidable but hadn’t expected him to be this strong!

Li Minghao chuckled and clapped his hands while examining the building, then turned to Wang Zheng and said, "Captain, give me your evaluation."urry."Brother Zheng, I’m really sorry just now, it’s that I was too rude," Li Shuichen said somewhat hesitantly. Her mind hadn't been on the ceremony but rather filled with anxiety. This Brother Zheng...
