Chapter 556: High Above
Instead of guessing here, she might as well find a time to go back to her family. She wanted to see what tricks these people were playing.
The three of them continued to walk around until it was dark before they dispersed. When Zhang Mengmeng saw that they wanted to go home, she immediately agreed. She had wanted to leave a long time ago. If it weren't for her father's repeated instructions, she would have left in a daze.
However, after returning home, Li's mother felt very puzzled about what her daughter said today. After all, isn't it a very good thing that the Zhang family can accept them? Why does Li Li's words seem to be not welcoming to them.
"Rui'er, don't you like me getting too close to the Zhang family? Why did I feel that you didn't seem very happy this afternoon? It is said that mother and child are connected by heart. Although you didn't show your emotions, I can still feel it."
Li's mother looked at her daughter in front of her with a guilty face, as if she had done something to let her down.
But it was normal that she didn't know, because no one had told her about this matter. At this moment, she simply thought that the reason why the Zhang family approached them so much was because they accepted them.
"Okay, mom, don't think too much. How could I have any objection? And he is so good to you, right? And you had so much fun just now, of course I am very happy to see this situation."
"Okay, but if you have anything to say, don't hide it in your heart, remember to say it out." Mother Li explained hesitantly.
After returning home, Li Li directly told Zhou Dong that she was going to go back to her family and hoped that he would be with her. I don't know why, since he has changed so much, I always need his company around me out of habit, as if only in this way can she feel safe.
The two returned to Zhang's house together, but it happened that Li Li suddenly felt uncomfortable in her stomach not long after entering the house. Did she eat something wrong today?
She was a little embarrassed, but fortunately this was Zhang's family and not someone else's. People have three urgent needs, and it is not wrong to say it out loud, so at this moment she openly expressed that she wanted to go to the toilet. In this regard, the people of the Zhang family did not show any special reaction, but a flash of undisguised disgust flashed across their eyes.
At this moment, Li Li was not there, and Han Xue, who had been brewing bad things beside her, finally found a good opportunity. She immediately ran to the front of Mr. Zhang and pointed at Zhou Dong and cried.
"Grandpa, you know it's him, using me to pretend to be pitiful. I wanted to care about him with good intentions, but who knew he would use me."
Han Xue didn't care about the truth of the matter at all, and just talked nonsense. Because she knew that in front of Zhou Dong, an outsider, grandpa would definitely choose to believe her.
As expected, when she just finished speaking, Mr. Zhang immediately glared at Zhou Dong with angry eyes, as if he was the kind of unforgivable person.
However, Han Xue didn't intend to teach him a lesson so simply and painlessly, as that would be too easy for him. If that happened, wouldn't it be a waste of her wonderful acting skills?
At this moment, Grandpa was in a state of anger, so why not go with the flow and add another match?
Thinking of this, she immediately sat down on the sofa in pain, and then covered her feet.
"Just now I couldn't help but argue with him for a few words, but he actually pushed me. How can I compare with him with my little woman's strength? Knowing that I was pushed to the ground, my ankle is swollen?" Han Xue said pitifully while rubbing her ankle.
The assistant beside Mr. Zhang immediately pretended not to understand and said, "Oh my God, Miss Zhang's ankle is so weak, it can't be broken, right?"
Han Xue wailed as soon as she heard it, as if it was really broken.
Zhou Dong could see that they were just digging a pit for him to jump into. That so-called Mr. Zhang said it nicely, that he was a fair witness, but in fact, he pushed all the bad things onto his own body?
Let’s not talk about whether Han Xue’s ankle was swollen at this moment? Just based on his flawed words just now, he could actually question himself. Is he not smart enough? Or is he asking questions knowingly? It’s really ironic.
After Li Li came back from the toilet, she saw her husband being harassed. She was about to help him, but at this moment, the other party didn’t seem to need her help at all.
He walked out and said calmly to everyone: "It’s just a sprained foot. It just so happens that I have learned bone setting before. Since you said that I hurt you, why don’t you let me help you recover."
Zhou Dong said, ignoring the surprised eyes of everyone, and walked up directly, grabbing Han Xue’s ankle, which she claimed to be red and swollen.

Suddenly, a crisp sound of bones was heard in the air. Han Xue obviously hadn't reacted yet. She stared blankly at her ankle until the piercing pain spread throughout her body. She immediately screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
Don't you like broken bones? Then let her experience what it feels like to have a broken bone. Anyway, it's just a slight dislocation of the bone. It won't take long for it to return to its original position. But this little pain is enough to teach her a lesson.
Han Xue was taught a lesson for no reason. For a while, she didn't dare to continue to be arrogant. If this man suddenly beat them up, she would be finished.
Li Li stared at the man in front of her blankly, and suddenly felt a vague sense of melancholy in her heart. He became more and more outstanding, and he was getting further and further away from the one she was familiar with. She didn't know whether all the developments were good or bad, but she knew that she seemed to be getting further and further away from him.
It was all because of her cowardice that she became like this today. If she could be more decisive and ruthless in dealing with things, maybe their relationship would be closer.
However, at this moment, Old Master Zhang was also a little surprised by his clean and neat approach. But so what? He still showed undisguised disdain for the man in front of him, a gigolo.
He was acting superior, as if he thought being with the man in front of him lowered his own status.
