As Zhou Xinghe spoke, the expressions of Wang Chao and Zhao Liying changed, and they turned to look at Shen Bing with astonishment. Wang Chao, in particular, was even more astonished.
Did Shen Bing really want to buy gifts?
And did she appear nervous in front of his parents?
It seemed highly unlikely.
Shen Bing was the head of a large company with thousands of employees. She was accustomed to various situations, so how could she feel nervous in front of his ordinary parents?
It was inconceivable!
Shen Bing blushed slightly under their gazes and glared at Zhou Xinghe. "What nonsense are you talking about? When visiting someone's house, it's a tradition in our Canton culture not to go empty-handed."
Zhou Xinghe and Zhao Liying looked at Wang Chao in unison. "Is that true?"
"Yes, there is such a tradition. It's not appropriate to visit someone empty-handed," Wang Chao confirmed.
"Really?"
"In that case, we should indeed buy something."
Zhou Xinghe and Zhao Liying suddenly realized, and their expressions became serious as they started discussing what to buy.
The next moment, they turned to Wang Chao in unison and asked, "What do your parents like?"
Shen Bing chuckled and teased, "Are you all trying to impress your future parents-in-law?"
Speaking, she inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Xinghe felt embarrassed by her words and chuckled awkwardly. "It was a misunderstanding."
He had said the same thing to Shen Bing earlier, but he hadn't expected her to use the same words to mock him now.
At the same time, he thought to himself, "Do women hold grudges like this?"
"No need to buy anything. We're all family, and it's good enough that you're here. Besides, my parents have plenty of things they like at home, so there's no need..." Wang Chao said.
"No, we must buy something!"
Shen Bing, Zhou Xinghe, and Zhao Liying said in unison.
Then, without paying any more attention to Wang Chao, the three of them left and went to buy the gifts themselves.

What was going on?
He stood at the doorstep, not going in or staying out.
After all, these three people were brought here by him. If he went back first, it would make him seem unfriendly.
Helpless, he walked to the side of the street, lit a cigarette, and waited silently.
About thirty minutes later, Shen Bing and the others returned with a lot of bags in their hands.
Wang Chao looked at them, bags in every hand, and couldn't help but sweat. "Are you trying to empty the entire market?"
"Also, Zhou Xinghe, why did you buy so much beef offal?" Wang Chao immediately noticed that the three of them had bought a lot of things, including Maotai liquor, fruits, and even Zhou Xinghe was carrying beef and beef offal.
"Brother, I want to eat beef offal," Zhou Xinghe said.
"Get lost! Do you want to exhaust my mom? And besides, you're here as a guest. It's one thing to buy gifts, but buying beef offal for yourself? How shameless can you be?" Wang Chao scolded him.
"Hehehe!" Zhou Xinghe laughed.
Wang Chao stubbed out his cigarette and didn't say anything more. He said, "Alright, let's go."
After that, he led the three of them back to his house.
Passing through the gate, walking through the corridor, and opening the villa door, a pleasant fragrance wafted through the air.
"It smells so good!"
Shen Bing, Zhao Liying, and Zhou Xinghe all felt intoxicated by the aroma, and their appetites were aroused.
"Uncle!"
Huang Ying happily rushed over and threw herself into Wang Chao's arms, smiling brightly. She held onto Wang Chao and refused to let go. "Uncle, where have you been these days? I missed you so much."
Wang Chao held Huang Ying in his arms, stroking her hair, and smiled. "What do you miss me for?"
"Of course, I want you to play with me!" Huang Ying pouted and said angrily, "And also, I want you to go to kindergarten with me and stand up for me. That big Fat Tiger always bullies me and teams up with other kids to bully me too!"
Wang Chao's expression darkened. "How does he bully you?"
Huang Ying's face puffed up as she said angrily, "That big Fat Tiger often insults me, calling me an illegitimate child without a father. He also teams up with others to bully me, pulls my hair, and pinches my hands."
"Uncle, look, my hands are all red from his pinching."
She even rolled up her sleeves and showed her arms to Wang Chao.
Recently, with the care of Li Han and Wang Anguo, her malnutrition had improved significantly. She was no longer pale and skinny, but rather a bit chubby.
However, there were many red marks on her slightly plump arms.
It was evident that she had been harshly pinched!
Wang Chao's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "When did this happen?"
"It happened during the days you were away on your business trip. They bullied me then," Huang Ying said indignantly.
Wang Chao looked at the red marks, his eyes growing colder. A surge of immense anger welled up inside him.
His family had always treated Huang Ying with utmost care and affection, cherishing her and fearing for her well-being.
Now, that so-called big Fat Tiger dared to treat Huang Ying like this. It was unforgivable!
"You're back."
Wang Baozhu walked out of the kitchen carrying a large plate of chicken, smiling as she looked at Wang Chao. Then her gaze fell on Shen Bing, and she was pleasantly surprised. She exclaimed, "You, are you President Shen?"
Shen Bing, the female president of Danfeng Group and the renowned female tycoon in Canton City.
Basically, everyone living in Canton City has heard of Shen Bing's name and holds great admiration for her.
"Hello," Shen Bing replied politely.
"Sis, Yingying was bullied. Did you know about this?" Wang Chao asked.
"What? Yingying was beaten?"
Wang Baozhu's expression changed, and she quickly put down the things in her hands, came to Wang Chao's side, and grabbed Huang Ying's arm to examine it.
Upon seeing the injuries, her expression also changed dramatically, filled with worry. She asked, "Yingying, what happened? Who hurt you? Does it hurt? So many things have happened, why didn't you tell Mom?"
"I didn't dare to tell Mom. I was afraid that Mom would argue with Fat Tiger's parents. You can not win against them, and you can't beat them either," Huang Ying timidly replied.
"How could you say that? Even if Mom can't beat others, Mom will still protect you," Wang Baozhu's eyes were filled with heartache.
"But Fat Tiger's parents are very fierce. You can't beat them," Huang Ying said.
Upon hearing this, Wang Baozhu's eyes immediately turned red, tears swirling in her eyes, feeling a deep sadness.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHuang Ying was young, but she had experienced too much suffering in the world. She had encountered many wicked people and knew that her mother was weak and had no way to confront Fat Tiger's parents.
By keeping this incident from Wang Baozhu, Huang Ying was trying to protect her!
However, this kind of protection made Wang Baozhu feel even more guilty and distressed, piercing her heart like a knife.
"What? Yingying was beaten?"
Li Han and Wang Anguo also came out from the kitchen, looking at the red marks on Huang Ying's arm, and grew furious.
"Damn it, who did this? Yingying, tell Grandma, Grandma will definitely teach them a lesson," Li Han said.
"That's right, Grandpa will protect you too," Wang Anguo said angrily.
"Yingying, don't be afraid. With Uncle here, Uncle will definitely help you. Tell us everything clearly," Wang Chao said.
With Wang Chao's assurance, Huang Ying finally let go of her worries.
She knew that Wang Chao was very capable, and with him backing her up, she immediately explained the whole story, revealing that it all started with the children at kindergarten comparing their fathers, talking about how good their fathers were and what jobs they had.
But in such situations, Huang Ying remained silent.
Her silence also drew mockery and insults from many other children, calling her a fatherless bastard.
Huang Ying argued with many of them as a result, but ended up being bullied by Fat Tiger and his friends.
Upon hearing this, Wang Chao, Wang Baozhu, Wang Anguo, and the others all grew cold with anger, their fury rising.
Even Zhou Xinghe's gaze turned icy, as he spoke in a low voice, "Daring to bully my brother's nephew, that kid is simply asking for death!"
Wang Chao glared at him and said in a low voice, "It's just children's play. Tomorrow, we'll talk to their parents and get them to apologize. Don't act impulsively."
He understood Zhou Xinghe's personality the best. Once he got angry, regardless of whether the opponent was a man, woman, old person, or child, he would ruthlessly strike and leave the opponent battered and bruised, or even dead.
If Zhou Xinghe took action, that kid named Little Fat Tiger probably would not live to see adulthood.
"No! It can not be just a simple apology. That little brat Fat Tiger must pay a price," Wang Anguo said.
"Yes, that Fat Tiger must face consequences," Li Han added.
"Daughter!"
Wang Baozhu embraced Huang Ying, sobbing uncontrollably. "It's all Mom's fault. If Mom could make your father..."
"Mom, I'm fine."
Huang Ying, being very sensible and obedient, helped Wang Baozhu wipe away her tears and gently comforted her.
"Alright, Sis, everything will be fine. Tomorrow, I'll accompany Yingying to the kindergarten. That will be enough," Wang Chao said.
While Wang Chao was deeply angry inside, he also knew that now was not the time to discuss this matter. He took a deep breath, suppressing his immense anger, and put on a calm façade. He spoke, "Alright, Mom, Dad, do not be so angry. Let's sit down and have dinner. We'll deal with tomorrow's matters tomorrow."
Shen Bing also approached, wearing a smile on her face. "Yes, yes, Uncle, Auntie, let's eat first. Tomorrow, I'll accompany Wang Chao to the kindergarten and make sure justice is served for Yingying!"
