Chapter 174 Leave a way out!

Zhang Ya looked angrily at Yan Ruo who was sitting next to Xu Shaoyu downstairs and chatting with Su Yue, and complained.

"Although she is indeed prettier than me, my family background is better than hers. Why?"

Zhang Xi took a sip of wine and seemed to think seriously for two seconds before speaking.

"Maybe because she is not only prettier than you, but also smarter than you."

"Are you still my brother?" Zhang Ya looked at Zhang Xi with dissatisfaction.

"Didn't Yan Ruo help Xu Shaoyu to cheat you? Why don't you hate her? Instead, you admire her?"

Zhang Xi glanced at her and said, "There aren't many women who can trick me. Isn't it worth admiring them?"

"So you helped her last time?"

"You told me so excitedly that she was blocked by someone, I thought you were just trying to be a good person."

"Who would save their love rival?" Zhang Ya continued to be stubborn.

Zhang Xu chuckled and said mercilessly, "You think too highly of yourself. To Xu Shaoyu, you are just a familiar stranger."

"Heh~ What kind of love rival is this?"

"Brother, you are so annoying!" Zhang Ya glared at him fiercely and turned away angrily.

At the corner at the end of the corridor, I ran into Yun Zhinian.

Zhang Ya has a typical eldest daughter personality. With several capable brothers supporting her, she only needs to enjoy life.

This also cultivated her willful and capricious, but also simple, straightforward and reckless character.

Yun Zhinian is the only daughter of the Yun family. She has received elite education since childhood and is the heir carefully cultivated by Yun Gan.

She has a proud personality and looks down upon people like Zhang Ya, who only know how to live off her family and have fun.

In Zhang Ya's eyes, Yun Zhinian clearly considered himself noble and liked to pretend to be magnanimous and tolerant.

She was already in a bad mood at the moment, and seeing someone she didn't get along with, she naturally didn't look happy either.

"Zhang Ya." Normally, Yun Zhinian would have simply ignored her, but today he called her.

Zhang Ya had already taken two steps out. When she heard her calling her, she stopped reluctantly, turned around and asked impatiently.

"What?"

Yun Zhinian smiled, not really caring about her attitude. "Zhang Ya, are you really willing to accept this?"

It's baffling! Zhang Ya rolled her eyes and asked directly, "What do you mean by willing or not? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush."

Yun Zhinian sneered and couldn't help but shake his head secretly. He was indeed a useless idiot.

"You pursued Xu Shaoyu so openly before, and everyone in North City knew that you liked him."

"What was the result? It's fine if he didn't accept it, but I didn't expect him to find a woman with such an ordinary background. Are you willing to accept that?"

"Tsk~" Zhang Ya curled her lips in disdain. "I thought you were going to say something fancy? Turns out you just want to use me as a pawn."

Yun Zhinian chuckled, "I'm just stating the truth. It's shameful for the eldest daughter of the Zhang family to lose to a secretary."

Anger flashed across Zhang Ya's face, and she looked at Yun Zhinian with unfriendly eyes.

"Losing to Yan Ruo is better than losing to you. Even though Yan Ruo is annoying as well, at least he's more pleasing to the eye than you."

After saying that, he left angrily. When he passed by the corner where Yan Ruo and the others were, he glared at Yan Ruo fiercely.

Yan Ruo was full of questions. Did she not offend this young lady today?

But it didn't matter, we didn't interact much anyway. Since she had helped me last time, I didn't bother with her.

Seeing that Zhang Ya didn't take the bait, Yun Zhinian didn't care much. She had just acted on impulse.

The Xu and Zhang families were currently the two most powerful families in North City. If a rift arose between them, the Yun family would reap the benefits. Even if they failed, it would only mean a few more words and a waste of breath.

In the corner of the banquet hall, Su Yue, who had been slouching, suddenly sat up straight.

"Second brother, the security this time is no good. They actually let the Zhao family in. After today, I will definitely teach them a lesson for you."

The Zhao family? Yan Ruo instantly glanced at the crowd with vigilance.

Xu Shaoyu adjusted his posture, still looking relaxed. He looked at Young Master Li who was walking with Zhao Sujian and smiled coldly.

"It seems that the eldest son of the Li family has a deep affection for the Zhao family."

Song Yichuan scoffed, "He's just afraid that the Zhao family will fall and there will be no one to support him."

"That Second Miss Li is truly a master of her craft. I heard she's already forced Young Master Li to retreat at every turn in the Li family company."

"That's because he is useless." Su Yue's eyes were still fixed on the two men.

"I've been in the company for so many years, and yet I'm so easily pushed into this situation by someone who's only been there for less than six months."

Over there, Young Master Li and Zhao Sujian seemed to be looking for someone. They saw a few people sitting in the corner, said a few words to each other, and then walked straight towards this side.

Seeing Su Yue and Yan Ruo looking alert, Xu Shaoyu's eyes flickered with a smile.

He raised his hand and patted Yan Ruo on the back, "Don't worry, they won't dare to do anything in front of everyone."

That being said, if the Zhao family is so cruel as to cause car accidents and harm people time and time again, then what else would they not dare to do?

Yan Ruo disagreed, "Be more cautious. Don't forget, your injuries haven't healed yet."

Su Yue agreed with this, "That's right, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for one."

Song Yichuan picked up his wine glass and shook it, then said calmly, "Even if you're worried about something happening, you two don't have to look like you're going to fight."

"Don't worry, with Young Master Li here, nothing will happen."

"Indeed." Xu Shaoyu said in a cold voice, "Unless, the Li family also wants to completely disappear from North City."

He's still pretending to be so naive at this time.

Yan Ruo's expression and posture were much more relaxed, but her heart was still tense as she secretly watched the movements of Zhao Sujian.

The two men walked to a position two steps in front of Xu Shaoyu and stopped. Young Master Li had a forced smile on his face.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Song, Mr. Su."

Su Yue raised his chin towards Zhao Sujian and asked, "What do you mean by bringing him here?"

Young Master Li said, "Don't misunderstand, Young Master Su. My cousin is here to apologize. Really, he really is here to apologize."

Hearing this, Xu Shaoyu's mouth curled up sharply, and his eyes were even colder.

"Does Young Master Li think that the previous incident can be resolved by just apologizing?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant." Faced with Xu Shaoyu's powerful aura and cold attitude, Young Master Li panicked for a moment and became incoherent for a moment.

Seeing this, Zhao Sujian, who had been silent nearby, stepped forward and bowed to Xu Shaoyu.

"It was indeed our Zhao family who was wrong about what happened before. Mr. Xu can vent his anger however he wants."

"But, in the final analysis, that incident was done by my uncle alone, and the others were unaware of it. I hope Mr. Xu will leave a way out for the Zhao family."

"A way out?" Xu Shaoyu sneered, his eyes seemed frozen by ice, his palms clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands were clearly visible.
