No one present found Wu i's actions surprising, but Liu Zixuan was puzzled.
He murmured softly, "People like this don't deserve any attention, let alone money!"
"It's very normal; if you want to leave unscathed, you have to let go of sothing," Crazy Zhou laughed.
Liu Zixuan scratched his head. He felt that Wu i had other intentions, but there was no way to ask now, so he'd just have to wait!
Zuo Tongyu took the check and smirked, "Well, money picked up for nothing, I'm content."
Zuo Tongyu didn't push things too far, took the check and tossed the toothpick into a basin of water, then said with a smile, "Carry on, I'm heading out!"
Watching Zuo Tongyu leave, Wu i's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, "Please continue!"
The people who followed Wu i didn't give her a hard ti, just had a few unpleasant words.
When the last man with a cane picked up a toothpick and moved toward Wu i, she suddenly stopped him.
"What does Wu Niang an by this?" The man asked in confusion.
"Mr. Wen, over the years, I've done many things that people found infuriating, but most I don't regret because to rise in position one mustn't be soft-hearted. Yet, your leg is the only thing I can't get past."
Wu i paused and said, "Today as I wash my hands of these affairs, I beg your forgiveness before I do!"
"You're retiring regardless of my forgiveness, what more can I say? Want to have my leg healed?" Mr. Wen shook his head with a chuckle, "Forget it, back then it's not entirely your fault, it's my own fault for overestimating my family's power. The victor becos king, the loser stands trial, always has been, I, Wen, can accept defeat!"
"No, I specifically invited Liu Zixuan today because I want him to heal your leg!" Wu i said earnestly, "I don't want to leave regrets!"
"This leg... he can heal it?" Mr. Wen's voice trembled; it was clear that living with laness has caused him imnse suffering!
Liu Zixuan finally understood that Wu i's request for help wasn't to fend off Zuo Tongyu, but to resolve her inner burden!
He imdiately said, "I can give it a try!"
Mr. Wen's facial muscles twitched a few tis, his expression changed significantly, "That's thoughtful... over all these years, I haven't resented you for a long ti; forgiving doesn't quite fit, just don't dwell on it!"
"Thank you for making it possible!" Wu i stood up and had Mr. Wen place the toothpick into the golden basin.
Everyone went through the procession without any other incidents, and the final step was quite simple. After washing her hands in the golden basin, Wu i bowed deeply to everyone.
Everyone exchanged smiles, dispelling past grievances. Slowly, they all left.
Of course, before departing, Mr. Wen also left Liu Zixuan a way to contact him.
"Zixuan, Old Zhou, you both stay!" Wu i stood up and said.
Crazy Zhou was taken aback, "Why? Even I'm included?"
"Don't you want to have a al with ?" Wu i laughed.
"Of course I would love that." Crazy Zhou chuckled awkwardly, "Initially thought you'd only keep Liu Zixuan."
"If I really did only keep Zixuan, knowing your temper you'd definitely start cursing again!"
Listening to Wu i's banter, Crazy Zhou didn't even show a hint of joking but rather seriously clenched his fist, "Then I wouldn't just curse but also teach Liu Zixuan a lesson with my fists, how on earth would my daughter cope with two single n in a room?"
"You, when are you going to change that annoying habit of yours?"
Wu i had soone clear the table, and then so waiters brought in the dishes.
She stood up and poured drinks for both Liu Zixuan and Crazy Zhou.
"Here's to celebrating washing my hands clean." Wu i raised her glass with a smile.
Liu Zixuan grinned, "I still don't quite get it!"
Wu i put down her glass and explained, "There really isn't any special reason. Firstly, I genuinely do not want to continue this life filled with scheming in the business world. Secondly, after the incident with Zuo Chenggong, I've co to realize that life shouldn't just be about struggle; sotis you should stop, and appreciate the scenery around you!"
"Really?"
"It's true!" Wu i raised her glass again, "What? Do you not want to lead a peaceful life?"
"Of course not!" Liu Zixuan clinked glasses with her, and they both drank their wine. As for Crazy Zhou, he lazily sat at the side eating and drinking without a word.
"So what's your plan after this?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"I want to go out and see the world, have a spontaneous world tour." Wu i smiled in longing, "But before I leave, there are a few things I need to handle and discuss with you!"
"What are they?"
"With Xiui Group's strength, going public this year is certainly not a problem. In ti, it might even surpass my Lu Yao Group."
Wu i paused and smiled, "Initially, I thought I'd share so of my family assets with you, but then I realized it's not necessary. What you need isn't money."
"Ugh, if you're not giving him so, give so!" Crazy Zhou didn't speak on other subjects, but when it ca to money, he imdiately put down his chopsticks!
Wu i boldly rolled her eyes at him, "Don't worry, you'll get so!"
"That's good. Additionally, you should still give Liu Zixuan what he needs, since he'll eventually get married and need money for a wife!" Saying this, Crazy Zhou went back to his eating.
Liu Zixuan looked at him with disdain, then asked Wu i, "What about your considerable estate, how do you plan to handle it?"
"I've divided it into five parts: one part is in the bank for my future retirent, another part is my travel expense because you can't travel the world without money!"
"As for the remaining three parts, one part goes to Zuo Tongyu, one part is for distribution; those people just now, I've already given them benefits ahead of ti, otherwise, do you think they'd let exit so easily?"
Liu Zixuan's mouth twitched a few tis, "What about the last part?"
"The last part I've invested in Lingxiu Village under your na. I've heard it's a village that's built from scratch, though I haven't had the ti to visit. With that investnt there, it serves as my final gesture for you!"
Wu i smiled gently, "Moreover, I know you're heading to Celestial Capital, so the recent twists were related to Celestial Capital."
"After Zuo Tongyu was kicked out by the Zuo Family, he went to Celestial Capital, and these years he's made quite a na. It's said he holds so power there; if you wish to grow strong, stepping on his shoulders will be a very fine choice!"
Liu Zixuan suddenly understood that Wu i wasn't giving Zuo Tongyu benefits, but using this opportunity to pave the way for Liu Zixuan!
"And... what about Mr. Wen?"
