C161 The Wu Clan of Beijing
Of course, Lee Hongtian and Zhou Yafei were completely unaware of what had happened to Zhou Zhen and his wife tonight.
The next morning, Zhou Yafei received an urgent call from the butler, Zhou Xun.
"Hey, Uncle Zhou, what happened this early?" Zhou Yafei asked Zhou Xun, who was on the phone, with a sleepy look on her face.
"Miss, come back quickly, someone from the Wu Family has arrived in the capital. They said that they want to get something back from you and the Old Master. Moreover, they seem to have ill intentions towards you." Zhou Xun told Zhou Yafei anxiously.
"What!" Zhou Yafei exclaimed in surprise when she heard this.
"Ok, Uncle Zhou, I'll head back right now." Then, Zhou Yafei agreed to Zhou Xun's request.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yafei quickly got up, opened the door, and walked out.
The moment she walked out, she noticed that Lee Hongtian's room across the hall was open and there was a faint fragrance coming from downstairs.
Without a doubt, Zhou Yafei knew that Lee Hongtian had woken up early and was still making breakfast.
However, Zhou Yafei could not care so much. She had to immediately rush back to the Zhou's Villa, she couldn't let her grandfather face the rest of the Wu Family by himself.
A few minutes later, Zhou Yafei quickly washed up and went downstairs.
"Wife, you're up. Hurry up and eat breakfast."
Lee Hongtian quickly reminded Zhou Yafei when he saw her come down.
"There's no time to eat. Just now, Uncle Zhou called and told me to go back quickly." Zhou Yafei slightly shook her head and explained to Lee Hongtian.
"What's wrong? What happened? " Lee Hongtian immediately asked in confusion after hearing that.
"Uncle Zhou said that the people from Wu Family have come. He said that he wanted to get something back from Grandfather and me. I'm not too sure either. I need to go back immediately." Zhou Yafei didn't explain in detail, but explained simply.
"Alright, I'll go with you!"
After hearing Zhou Yafei's words, Lee Hongtian immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and walked out with Zhou Yafei.
The two of them got on the carriage and quickly returned to the Zhou's Villa.
At this moment, within the Zhou's Villa.
They saw that the people from the capital's Wu Family were already sitting on the sofas of the Zhou's Villa s. All of the people from the Wu Family s had unsightly expressions on their faces, looking extremely unfriendly.
"Old Master Zhou, after so many years, it's about time you return our Wu Family back to us." A middle-aged man sitting on the sofa opposite Old Master Zhou said to Old Master Zhou with a dark expression.
This person was none other than the current Patriarch of Wu Family, Wu Qishaan.
Wu Family was one of the second-rate families in the capital, and it was extremely famous in the capital, and was even more powerful than Linhai City.
Moreover, there was a deep relationship between Wu Family and there.
It was Zhou Yafei's mother, Wu Yuhe. She was the second young miss of the capital's Wu Family, and also the younger sister of the current Patriarch, Wu Qishaan.
However, although Zhou Family and Wu Family were related by blood, the two families were completely unrelated.
Ever since Wu Yuhe married Zhou Yafei's father, Zhou Hwa, Wu Yuhe had completely cut off all contact with Wu Family.
Since then, Wu Family had not cared about Wu Yuhe's information.
Until... It was only when Wu Yuhe and Zhou Hwa accidentally went missing that Wu Family came out. But that was a long time ago.
And the two appearance of Wu Family were both for one thing, which was the jade talisman Wu Yuhe once took away from Wu Family.0
This was the last thing Wu Yuhe had left behind, so he had to keep both his Wu Family and Zhou Family.
All those years ago, Wu Family had agreed to let the Zhou Family be kept, but at that time, when the Old Master of the Wu Family was still alive, and in other words, Wu Yuhe's father, Wu Haizhen, had not forcefully taken back the jade talisman but had instead let the Zhou Family Member keep it.
However, just a few weeks ago, Wu Family Old Master Wu Haizhen passed away from illness, and Wu Family Patriarch passed on to Wu Family Boss, Wu Qishaan.
In the end, once he took over the position of Wu Family Patriarch, the first thing Wu Qishaan did was to get back the jade talisman that his sister Wu Yuhe had left in the Zhou Family.
Of course, the news of Old Master Wu's death had yet to be announced to the outside world. At most, it would only be known by some of the capital's largest clans.
"Hehe, you're Yafei's uncle and Yu He's elder brother. Isn't this jade talisman the same in our Zhou and Wu Families?" Moreover, your father personally promised to put this jade talisman in our Zhou Family. " Old Master Zhou smiled lightly and said in a calm tone.
"Old Master Zhou, I'll tell you the truth. Just a few weeks ago, my father passed away, and I am now the Patriarch of Wu Family. Thus, everything in Wu Family is now up to me."
Hearing this, Wu Qishaan no longer hid anything. In order to retrieve the jade talisman, he could only tell Old Master Zhou about his father's death.
Hearing this news, Old Master Zhou instantly frowned and his expression changed greatly.
He never thought that the Old Master of the Wu Family had passed away, this news really caught people off guard.
"So, I am here on behalf of the Wu Family to retrieve my sister's jade talisman from the Zhou Family. I hope that you, Old Master Zhou, can return it to us. After all, it belongs to our Wu Family." Wu Qishaan's tone was firm, but he wasn't polite as he spoke to Old Master Zhou.
However, he could completely hear Wu Qishaan's attitude and momentum behind his words.
It could be seen that Wu Qishaan was determined to get the jade token back.
"How about this, we can discuss this after Yafei returns?" Old Master Zhou did not immediately agree and instead suggested to Wu Qishaan.
Wu Qishaan was also stunned for a few seconds, then nodded and agreed.
No matter what happened today, he would definitely get the jade token back, even if his niece Zhou Yafei came.
At this moment, Lee Hongtian and Zhou Yafei were still on their way to Zhou's Villa.
Sitting in the car, Lee Hongtian asked Zhou Yafei curiously, "Wife, what's the background of the capital's Wu Family?"
Hearing Lee Hongtian's question, Zhou Yafei also hesitated for a moment before slowly opening her mouth to explain. However, her tone was not particularly excited, but instead a bit unhappy.
"Wu Family, is the home of my mother's family. My mother is a citizen of the capital's Wu Family."
"So that's the case. Then you should be happy. Why do I feel like you're especially unhappy about it?" Lee Hongtian asked Zhou Yafei in surprise. He didn't know much about the Zhou and Wu Family's matters.
"Heh …" It's impossible. I'm afraid that Wu Family has no good intentions in coming here. He must be here to take back something from my mother. "
Zhou Yafei let out a cold laugh, her eyes filled with coldness as she spoke.
From Zhou Yafei's expression, Lee Hongtian could tell that this Wu Family was definitely not simple. Moreover, it seemed that the relationship between Zhou Family and Wu Family was definitely not that good. Otherwise, Zhou Yafei would not be like this.
