I have a Money Tree in My Backyard [MTL]

Ch 19

Chapter 19

If there is any relatively large formal gathering in the circle in the near future, it is Su Rongrong's coming-of-age ceremony.

This marks that the mother and daughter of the Su family have officially moved into the Zhou family and can go out to socialize in the names of Mrs. Zhou and Miss Zhou. The Zhou family's industry is all over the country, and even has branches overseas, involving many industries, and now is the time when the sun is in full swing, no matter who it is, how much you have to sell the Zhou family a face.

But when it comes to the Zhou family, what has always been unavoidable is Zhou Guoyi's peachy news, as well as Zhou Ranxin's strange physique, in this generation, Zhou Guoyi has no son, and he is bound to choose one of his two daughters as the heir, although Zhou Ranxin has a strange physique, but her mother is a famous family, even if she has not had much contact with the Mu family over the years, it is said that this time Zhou Ranxin moved out of the Zhou family, or the Mu family helped.

This shows that the Mu family still recognizes Zhou Ranxin as a relative.

There has been no big gossip in the circle recently, so everyone can only talk about this topic.

"I remember the last time Mrs. Li held a tea party, the two of them had nothing to say when they met, and they were no different from strangers."

"The Zhou family cut off a lot of Mu family's lists, the two families cooperated in the past, the Zhou family suddenly withdrew their investment, and the Mu family almost collapsed because the capital turnover could not come, and Zhou Guoyi was angry with a daughter of the Mu family, you are the Mu family, don't you hate? Zhou Ranxin is still surnamed Zhou after all.

"This time, that 'Miss Tuesday' held a coming-of-age ceremony, do you think the Mu family will go?" Usually when they talk about gossip, they don't say anything "Miss So" or "Young Master", but now when they talk about Su Rongrong, most of them are in a playful tone, which sounds even more sarcastic.

"I don't care too much about whether the Mu family is going or not, I want to know if Zhou Ranxin is going or not." After all, in everyone's opinion, whether Zhou Ranxin is kicked out or moves out by herself, she is no longer in Zhou's house now, and Zhou Guoyi should not be able to control her.

If she goes, it will be another good show.

......

Zhou Ranxin didn't know what the group of gossip spirits in the circle talked about, but after a little thought, she could know what they thought of Su Rongrong's coming-of-age ceremony.

Zhou Ranxin turned out the pink and white invitation, and she also tied a bow with a pink ribbon very girlishly.

"What is this?" Ye Jinhua's footsteps came from behind him.

Zhou Ranxin turned around and handed him the invitation in his hand, "Su Rongrong's coming-of-age ceremony."

When Ye Jinhua heard this name, he frowned, pinched the invitation, and put it on the table, as if he didn't want to touch it more.

Zhou Ranxin thought it was funny, "You hate her very much?
There's nothing in common between them, right?

Ye Jinhua said righteously: "Anyone who wants to hurt you."I hate them all.

He is always able to accurately poke Zhou Ranxin's joy at some inadvertent times. Her little heart missed a beat because of Ye Jinhua's words, and then it beat rapidly.

Zhou Ranxin patted his face, came back to his senses, and said deliberately: "You still say that you are the God of Wealth, aren't the gods all loveless and pure-hearted?" How can there be nasty emotions?

Unexpectedly, Ye Jinhua seemed to be hit by her, the tips of her ears were red, and she retorted in a low voice: "Who said that." Immortals can also have selfish intentions.

But the other immortal predecessors had warned him when he came to the human world, don't pour too much affection into human beings, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.

Ye Jinhua thought that he didn't pour too much emotion, just a little bit of liking for her, and a little bit of hating because of her hatred.

Zhou Ranxin didn't hear his words, and was about to get closer to ask him what he just said, when a dancing painting spirit flew in front of him.

Since Ye Jinhua gave it "treatment", the painting spirit has recovered some of his spirit, occasionally flying out of the picture scroll, and flying to the yard to play with Xiao Jin.

It's just that Xiaojin doesn't seem to like the way it looks, and he is not interested in being a cash cow that can't move.

The painting spirit flew around Zhou Ranxin, and then landed on the invitation card on the table, motionless.

"What does that mean?" Zhou Ranxin didn't understand, thinking that the painting spirit liked the bow tied on the invitation card, but when he looked at it again, it didn't fall on the ribbon, but on the handwritten pen words.

The invitations were all handwritten by the host's family, especially Zhou Ranxin's invitation, as soon as Zhou Ranxin saw this word, he recognized it as Zhou Guoyi's handwriting.

At that time, she also thought that Zhou Guoyi really cared about Su Rongrong's daughter.

Ye Jinhua didn't look at the invitation much just now, but now because of the painting spirit's actions, he wrinkled his brows and picked up the invitation again.

He frowned, vaguely feeling that the person who wrote the invitation had a connection with Zhou Ranxin, but he didn't know what the connection was.

"Who wrote this?"

Zhou Ranxin saw his serious expression, and suddenly asked, there must be a reason for him.

"It's my dad. What's wrong?

Because of Zhou Ranxin's physique, Ye Jinhua was not at ease to leave her, and the matter of investigating her luck was temporarily shelved.

"The meaning of the painting spirit is that it thinks that the person who left the pen and ink on the invitation should be you."

Zhou Ranxin was stunned and didn't react for a while.

"Is it because of my dad's blood relationship?"

Ye Jinhua shook his head, looked into her eyes, and swallowed back the words he was about to speak.

He is really not a person who can hide his emotions, just from his serious tone just now, and his current unbearableness, he is obviously telling her that Zhou Guoyi has a problem.

Zhou Ranxin saw that he wanted to speak again, and his temples jumped suddenly.

"......" Zhou Ranxin took the invitation from his hand and looked down at the handwriting on it.

Zhou Guoyi's handwriting font is vigorous and powerful, every stroke is as sharp as a sword, when she was a child, she read Zhou Guoyi's words, and wanted to learn his words with great interest, so Zhou Guoyi held her hand and taught her stroke by stroke.

Zhou Ranxin's mind flashed a lot of clips about Zhou's father.

In her memory, Zhou Guoyi is actually very kind to her. 

Especially before she was six years old, the master hadn't figured out what she had to do, she was the only daughter of the Zhou family, Zhou Guoyi and Mu Qing spoiled her as a little princess, what she wanted, she could get anything, even if one day she said that she wanted to pick the stars in the sky, Zhou Guoyi would immediately let people start researching rockets.

Later, the stars were not picked, but Zhou Guoyi built a universe-themed amusement park for her, just west of Yunze City, which is called "Ranxing Universe Amusement Park".

Zhou Guoyi's kindness to her was known to the entire Yunze City, so at that time, everyone had a disdainful attitude towards the Su mother and daughter who suddenly appeared, they felt that even if Zhou Guoyi had an illegitimate daughter, it would not threaten Zhou Ranxin's status, and the huge Zhou family business would fall into Zhou Ranxin's hands sooner or later.

Until Mu Qing died, Su's mother and daughter moved into the Zhou house.

Zhou Guoyi knew how Su Ying and Su Rongrong showed Zhou Ranxin's face when he was away, but he still did nothing, as if it was enough to show "family harmony" in front of him, and what he couldn't see meant that it didn't exist.

Zhou Ranxin hated him for cheating, hated him for giving birth to a daughter of the same age as himself with another woman, hated him for seeming to be affectionate to his mother, but still didn't cut off contact with Su Ying.

But at the same time, he was the father who gave birth to her and raised her. After Mu Qing's death, Zhou Guoyi turned down her important work at every parent-teacher meeting and had to attend. When Zhou Ranxin's life was dying because of bad luck, it was Zhou Guoyi who stayed by her bedside with fear, searching all over the world to find the best doctor to treat her. Even when she reached adulthood, Zhou Guoyi took out Mu Qing's will and did it one by one in accordance with Mu Qing's will.

Including what Mu Qing's will said, after she became an adult, let Zhou Ranxin choose whether to stay in the Zhou family, and under Zhou Ranxin's personal wishes, choose whether to continue to temporarily lend the estate to Zhou Guoyi at high interest.

In order to let Zhou Guoyi willingly carry out her will, most of the inheritance left by Mu Qing to Zhou Ranxin was some shares and real estate, and the rest of the jewelry stored in the bank safe was basically left to Zhou Guoyi, so that Zhou Guoyi and Uncle Mu each had a key and password for Mu Qing's safe.

Zhou Ranxin's feelings for his father are not clear in a few words.

Zhou Guoyi wanted her to leave, and she didn't want to stay in the Zhou family to watch the Su mother and daughter sing on stage.

It's just that Zhou Ranxin can't understand why Zhou Guoyi can be so contradictory, good and bad for her.

Human beings are so complex, it is better to be a tree.

Zhou Ranxin pinched the invitation letter in his hand and thought for a long time.

According to Ye Jinhua's reaction to seeing the painting spirit's actions, Zhou Guoyi has a problem, and it is likely to be related to her.

Late at night, Zhou Ranxin walked out of the bedroom balcony, looked down, and saw Ye Jinhua standing under the tree, watering and weeding the cash tree.

Ye Jinhua seemed to notice her gaze and looked at her face.

The two looked at each other.

Zhou Ranxin saw the complicated feelings in his eyes, but he couldn't understand what it meant. He pursed his thin lips, the golden light reflected on his body, and his black hair was lifted by the evening breeze, covering his beautiful eyes like glass, stirring up a lake of spring water.

Ye Jinhua raised her head, seeing her flickering eyes, her brows gathered with a faint sadness, and when she touched his eyes, her brows briefly loosened, and soon they were twisted together again.

He'd seen the look on it, when she wasn't in class, when she didn't understand and couldn't figure it out.

Speechless, too embarrassing.

Zhou Ranxin spoke first and asked in a loud voice, "Don't you sleep yet?"

Ye Jinhua moved her lips, her voice was not loud or small, she could just hear it.

"It's a little bit of a concern," he said. 

The topic can actually end here, but Zhou Ranxin somehow, like a ghost, asked: "What's on your mind?"

After Zhou Ranxin asked, she regretted it a little, this is someone else's privacy, she asked too much, maybe she had offended his private space.

In Zhou Ranxin's opinion, Ye Jinhua can be literate and martial, even high math problems, he will solve them after listening to a few lessons, and he will not worry about eating and drinking, and he can also tell fortunes, and being a bodyguard may just be a hobby of a master outside the world, so what can he worry about?

After a long time, Zhou Ranxin didn't get a response from him, and knew that she had crossed the line.

She pretended not to have asked the question, waved at him, and turned to enter the house.

Ye Jinhua looked at her back, let her emotions spread, and said softly: "...... It's about your heart. 

The freewheeling gods have a heart.

It's about the heart of a human being.
