He nodded and said, "I understand. I will do as you say. Don't worry, in my heart, our brotherhood will always be strong."

He is far more important than a woman.

Nie Wenliang silently apologized to Li Ke. Although he had a good impression of her, compared to Zhuang Weifeng, she was just a pretty woman.

In families like theirs, there's no choice in this matter. If he really offended Zhuang Weifeng for a woman, his father would be the first to beat him to death.

Moreover, given Li Ke's background, she was destined not to marry into his family, so the choice was obvious.

At 6:20 p.m., everyone was transformed and appeared in the castle's hall.

Nie Yuqiong was the oldest among them; she was about to turn twenty, a beautiful red rose about to ripen.

Today, she wore a gold strapless fishtail dress that showed off her beautiful figure. Her long hair, which was slightly red under the lights, was also tied up and decorated with a gold tangle of branches.

Standing next to her, Chen Jiaojiao chose a bright red short-sleeved square-neck dress. The square neckline, cuffs, and hem were adorned with various small rhinestones. She used a large red bow hair clip to create a princess-style shawl hairstyle, making her look sweet and lovely overall.

She is still young, only sixteen years old, and there is no need for her to dress like an adult. Although her figure is much fuller and more slender than Li Ke's, she is not in a hurry to show it off.

Chen Jiaojiao knew very well that everything she had to do now had to be in line with her status and age, and the only people she needed to please were Zhuang Weifeng and the elders of the Zhuang family.

Li Ke, on the other hand, wore a blue, short-sleeved, embroidered, traditional-style wide-waisted cheongsam, with a pair of blue-black embroidered shoes with upturned pearl tops and pearl ties.

This was bought by Li Ke when she was shopping before, but she never had a chance to wear it. Now she thinks it's okay as a formal dress.

Blue is a cool color, which matches Li Ke's always indifferent face very well. At the same time, the small embroidered flowers full of spring-like feelings melt away much of that coldness.

Li Ke's hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin. As she slowly walked down from the second floor, she seemed to be in a different world from the people below.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful woman with such a cool and aloof demeanor, Nie Wenliang finally turned his gaze away. It was a pity that if she had a higher status, he might have been able to fight her a little longer.

Chen Jiaojiao and Nie Yuqiong were also drawn to the aloof Li Ke, but soon a sense of mockery welled up in their hearts.

Li Ke's outfit is indeed very nice and beautiful, but it is too conservative and old-fashioned for this kind of party. She has no chest, no waist, and no hips. The whole dress can only be carried by Li Ke's face.

They had initially been a little worried that Li Ke might use the party to shine, but now, seeing her wearing such an antique-style cheongsam, they felt both relieved and disappointed.

Chen Jiaojiao and Nie Yuqiong, the two girls, were both amazed at first glance, but they also felt a little relieved. Nie Yuqiong even looked down on Li Ke with more contempt and disdain.

Li Ke dressed like this simply to stand out and attract attention. Unfortunately, she underestimated the knowledge of the upper class. Her clothes were cheap, costing only a thousand yuan, and apart from being a bit elegant, they were nothing special.

Moreover, her outfit was far too conservative for a Western-style party, making her appear somewhat out of place.

Li Ke didn't notice the changes in Nie Yuqiong and Chen Jiaojiao's eyes. She noticed immediately that Nie Wenliang clearly avoided her gaze when they met.

Li Ke chuckled inwardly. This was one of her original goals. Nie Wenliang was only considered one of the less bad people in their group, but that was all.

Li Ke's purpose in coming here was very clear: to gather supplies and obtain the wealth from Zhuang Yihao's underground castle.

Any other interpersonal entanglements would be troublesome for her, but now that Nie Wenliang has been dealt with by Zhuang Weifeng, Li Ke will only feel more at ease.

Zhuang Weifeng was very satisfied with Li Ke's outfit; she looked pretty, elegant, and poised.

He gave Nie Wenliang a meaningful look. Nie Wenliang felt a tightness in his chest but had to suppress his dissatisfaction and turned to greet Li Ke, who had already come downstairs.

"Come on, beautiful princess, please let me serve you tonight." Nie Wenliang's smile didn't reach his eyes. Although he was still making witty remarks, he lacked his usual vitality. He made a gentlemanly invitation to Li Ke.

The group of nine people traveled in two cars and entered Zhuang Yihao's private castle at 6:50.

This castle covers a much larger area than the castle where Zhuang Weifeng currently lives. Outside the castle, there is a vast sea of ​​flowers and a garden maze, which has the style of old Western aristocracy.

The party officially started at eight o'clock, but by then there were already quite a few guests strolling around the castle. Many of these guests had come from far away and had arrived early to visit the castle.

After entering the castle, the first thing Zhuang Weifeng and his group did after getting out of the car was to visit Zhuang Weifeng's uncle, Zhuang Yihao.

In the afternoon, Zhuang Yihao played golf with his friends in the backyard for a while. Although they had already finished playing, he and his friends set up a card game in the backyard. A group of people were sitting around the card table, having a great time.

When Zhuang Weifeng and the others arrived at the backyard, led by a maid, Zhuang Yihao had just won the game he was playing.
