Chu Heng glanced at Yuanyuan, then fell silent for a moment. He forced a smile and said, "Why is Old Master Zhang so nervous? I'm just here on behalf of my family to offer my congratulations. I've even specially searched for some valuable gifts."
"I can't accept your gifts."
Zhang Zhenwei exuded a powerful aura, which was on par with Chu Heng's killing intent.
Yuanyuan's head kept turning back and forth between the two of them, shaking so fast that it was like a pestle.
Wow.
This Uncle Chu Heng seems a bit formidable.
The little one gently tugged at her grandfather's hand and whispered, "Grandpa, calm down. Today is a happy day. Let's not bother with impolite people."
Impolite people?
Chu Heng raised his eyebrows and his eyes showed a fierce glint.
"Kid, are you talking about Uncle?"
"Uh-huh."
Zhang Yuanyuan nodded sincerely without any fear. "You came uninvited and disturbed others. That's not a good thing to do."
A sinister smile curled up on Chu Heng's lips.
Good.
After all these years, no one has ever been so straightforward in front of him.
She is truly a child of the Zhang family.
He slowly squatted down and got closer to Zhang Yuanyuan. His fierce face came nearer and nearer.
Just as he was about to speak, the sound of a sudden brake broke the atmosphere here.
Before anyone could see who got out of the car, a man dashed out like a blur. Clenching his fist, he suddenly punched at Chu Heng!
"Ah!"
Everyone gasped in surprise.
Chu Heng frowned and quickly stepped back to dodge the punch.
"Zhang Munan! What are you crazy about!"
Zhang Munan steadied himself and hid the little girl behind him.
"Me crazy?"
"Chu Heng, dare you come any closer to my daughter and see what happens?!"
He waved his fist boldly with great momentum.
He often practiced boxing in the club. Although he was not as strong as Zhang Hang, it would be more than enough for him to deal with Chu Heng!
"Laoyao."
Zhang Zhenwei suddenly spoke up, holding back his fist. He looked at Chu Heng calmly.
"Master Chu, I'll say it one more time. We don't welcome you."
The atmosphere like that of a crematorium scared everyone.
Everyone tensed up and dared not make a sound, silently watching both sides.
But Chu Heng seemed oblivious. Brazenly, he lazily straightened up and gave the three of them a meaningful look.
"Alas, that's really a pity."
"Old Master Zhang, I really came here with good intentions to give gifts. But since you don't welcome me, I won't make a fool of myself."
Chu Heng slowly walked past the three of them and wanted to reach out and touch Yuanyuan's small bun-like face.
But Yuanyuan dodged.
His hand froze in mid-air, but he didn't look embarrassed at all.
Instead, he showed a creepy smile to the other two.
"You two, since you treasure this new little burden so much, you'd better protect her well in the future."
After saying that, regardless of others' reactions, Chu Heng strode towards his car and left swaggeringly.
Zhang Munan gritted his teeth in anger. Even his earring was shaking.
"Dad, why didn't you let me crush him?!!"
Who could stand such provocation?!
He was being too deliberate. It must have been Chu Heng's doing in all the previous things that had harmed the Zhang family!
Zhang Zhenwei tapped his walking stick. "You stupid thing. A family head is not so easy to deal with."
"Don't worry. Now that Yuanyuan has been found, I won't be distracted anymore. The Chu family won't be able to act so arrogantly for long!"
Zhang Zhenwei snorted and led Yuanyuan and the others into the banquet hall.
Fortunately, no one paid attention to this little episode.
After all, the feud between the Zhang and Chu families had been going on for quite some time.
In the car.
Through the car window, Chu Heng took a long-distance look at the child surrounded by everyone. His eyes were filled with greed.
"Finally... finally, I've waited for this child to appear..."
Chu Heng muttered to himself.
At the very end of his sight, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a charming figure in a red dress enter the hotel.
...
The light in the hotel lobby was soft and warm, bright and reassuring.
Before long, the little one was surrounded by a group of uncles and aunts. Many phones were pointed at her cute little face.
Zhang Yuanyuan seemed to be used to such adoration and showed no sign of fear!
She even happily cooperated with them for photos, making all kinds of funny and cute gestures and expressions.
Everyone burst into laughter.
However, just as everyone was having fun, Zhang Yuanyuan suddenly felt a chill behind her, as if a pair of eyes were secretly staring at her.
The little one shivered. Her warm smile faded a bit. She quickly raised her head and looked behind.
But there was nothing.
"Hmm... strange..."
There were too many people around. That chill made her feel very uneasy.
Could it be that the uncle just now had come back to cause trouble?
That wouldn't do. What if others got hurt?
Zhang Yuanyuan pushed through the crowd and squeezed back to her grandfather's side. She tugged at his trouser leg. "Grandpa, grandpa, bend down. I want to tell you something."
The old man obediently bent down and put his ear close to Yuanyuan's mouth. After hearing what she said, the smile on his face instantly disappeared.
"This is too dangerous. You can't go and check. Grandpa will find someone to handle it later, okay?"
Zhang Yuanyuan shook her head seriously. "I'm not afraid. I'm very capable!"
After saying that, without waiting for the old man's answer, the group of people who had just been having fun around the little one surrounded her again. The little Yuanyuan anxiously patted her grandfather's hand. "Grandpa, grandpa, tell them not to come near me now. I have to find out who's causing trouble!"
Well, after all, she was just a child. No matter how capable she was, she couldn't resist the kisses from pretty aunts.
Zhang Zhenwei helplessly rubbed his forehead. Just then, he saw Zhang Munan flirting with a girl. He pointed at him and shouted, "Laoyao, I heard you're about to take the club to participate in some Tianfeng International Competition..."
"Ah!! Tianfeng!"
Before Zhang Zhenwei could finish his sentence, a group of extremely excited people rushed towards Zhang Munan like a flood!
"Zhang Munan!"
Zhang Munan's eyes froze. He stared in horror and started running!
"What the hell!"
Zhang Zhenwei grinned triumphantly.
When he turned around again, the little one was no longer by his side.
Here.
Zhang Yuanyuan tightened her cloth bag and quietly moved towards the direction where the chill came from. Her little fingers kept pinching back and forth, and she was muttering something as if calculating.
"Hmm... something's wrong... the aura here isn't that of the uncle..."
At this moment, Zhang Yuanyuan frowned and looked up. Suddenly, it became dim in front of her.
The noise behind her gradually faded away. The bright lights seemed to be covered by a shadow in an instant. In front of her was a pitch-black and endless corridor.
From the depths of the corridor came several loud cries of a baby from time to time, which were especially creepy in the darkness.
"Wow..."
A cold and gloomy wind kept pouring out from the corridor and approached Zhang Yuanyuan.
Zhang Yuanyuan stood on tiptoe. Her little hands quickly calculated. Before long, she put down her hands. An idea had formed in her mind.
Looking into the distance, a small black shadow gradually emerged. The hoarse crying sound grew louder again in her ears.
"Woohoo..."
It was a ghost baby.
