As soon as the few people who came in before them came in, someone came to greet them and they were quickly pulled into the crowd.
The two siblings just stood there in a daze, and no one looked at them.
Zhou Le pulled Zhou Cong over and whispered in his ear, "Brother, who introduced you here? At least give them an introduction. We're standing here like this, looking stupid!"
Zhou Cong had seen the world, and he was busy comforting his sister: "Don't worry, don't worry, just sit here and wait for me, I'll go find it. Since we are here today, we have to make ourselves familiar to the Second Young Master Mu."
He pushed Zhou Le to a booth nearby and then walked into the crowd to look for someone he knew.
Zhou Le was full of resentment, but she didn't know what to say. Normally, she was like a fish in water in her circle, but today these people were beyond the reach of people in her circle.
She took a quick look and her heart was beating fast. Looking around, she saw several familiar faces chatting and laughing. She said familiar because she often saw them in Entertainment Weekly.
Those were all young masters from top wealthy families. Although they were playboys, they were also princes born with a silver spoon in their mouths. If one day, she could stand beside them and become their woman, then she would have truly completed a class transition, and her identity would no longer be that of an adopted daughter of a small family like the Zhou family.
She reached out and pressed her chest to calm her pounding heart, telling herself not to panic and to move forward steadily without making any mistakes.
"Huh? This lady looks unfamiliar. I don't think I've seen her before." Someone suddenly sat down opposite her.
Zhou Le came back to her senses and was startled. A handsome man with a bright face was sitting opposite her, smiling at her.
Zhou Le leaned back in his chair nervously.
"Oh, you're still shy? My God, it's so rare to see a girl who is shy even when saying hello in this day and age. She's really a treasure." The man's voice was very clear, and his smile was as bright as the sun.
He waved behind him and several people immediately gathered around him.
The man said, "I found a new sister. She blushed before I even said anything. She's so innocent and cute."
He spoke loudly to the crowd.
Zhou Le's heart beat like a drum and his face actually turned red when he was praised like this.
"Oh, the second young master has found a treasure. This little girl is pretty. Hey, whose sister is this? Who brought her here? Why did they just leave her in this corner without telling me?"
"Exactly! Who is so careless! To throw such a little lamb-like sister to a pack of wolves?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Zhou Le was shy at the time. She didn't recognize everyone, but she had seen two familiar faces. She knew that the people in front of her were either rich or noble. She didn't expect that she could easily attract the attention of these noble men.
Her heartbeat was tachycardic, making her face even hotter.
The man who first approached her said with a smile, "Go away, go away, stop making trouble, I like this girl, don't scare her!"
Everyone started to make a noise: "Second Young Master, is this love at first sight? You haven't even asked her if she has a boyfriend! You can't forcefully take a woman away from you!"
The second young master didn't care: "As long as she's not married, I have a chance. My sister looks so young, she must not be married. Don't scare her!"
"Oh, you're protecting her right now? Second Young Master is rarely so impulsive. It seems like he's really moved. But it's really rare to see such a pure little sister. The brothers won't argue with you. We'll give you face!"
Zhou Le lowered her head shyly. At this moment, nothing was more appropriate than being shy.
No matter who the person in front of him is, his family background must be a hundred times stronger than Gu Ming's. People go to high places and water flows to low places. No matter how affectionate a childhood sweetheart is, he cannot match the family background.
Zhou Le took a deep breath and prepared himself mentally.
The second young master extended his hand and said solemnly, "Hello, young lady. My name is Mu En. May I know your name?"
The music in Zhou Le's ears faded, and all she could hear was the sweet voice of the Second Young Master. She looked up at the handsome face in front of her, her eyes almost sparkling with stars. She said in a trembling voice, "My name is Zhou Le."
"Zhou Le? What a nice name! It suits you very well!" Mu En smiled brightly.
Zhou Le pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.
Mu En smiled and said, "My sister-in-law's surname is also Zhou. You are the second person with the surname Zhou that I know."
Zhou Le's eyes couldn't help but flicker.
Mu En smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have compared you with her. My sister-in-law is just a country girl who came here to get married. Unlike you, you look like a lady from a wealthy family."
Zhou Le's heart trembled and he was filled with ecstasy.
Zhou Le's mind turned, he raised his head slightly, looked at Mu En timidly, and said softly: "Are you talking about my sister?"
Mu En frowned slightly and leaned towards Zhou Le: "Huh? What did you say?"
Zhou Le leaned back subconsciously, and Mu En quickly supported her bare shoulders and said with a smile: "Be careful, don't get hurt."
His hand touched and then let go, leaving a warm spot on Zhou Le's skin. Zhou Le was so excited that a layer of fine goose bumps appeared on her skin. After calming down, she raised her voice slightly: "Mr. Mu, is the person you are talking about my sister?"
Mu En looked puzzled. "Who? Oh, you mean my sister-in-law? Yes, her last name is Zhou too. Her name is Zhou Shuo."
Zhou Le lowered his eyes, looking pitiful, "She is my sister."
Mu En was surprised. "Oh? How is that possible? She is obviously a country girl. Don't you know that she even rushes to do the work of our servants?"
Mu En said, covering his lips with a smile, then looked at Zhou Le affectionately, "But you are so dignified, the most elegant lady from a noble family I have ever seen!"
Zhou Le showed a shy expression at the right moment, and said awkwardly, "Actually, she is the Zhou family's biological daughter, and I am just their adopted daughter. During the years that my sister was missing, my adoptive parents treated me as their own. My sister did grow up in the countryside. Mr. Mu, could you please be more tolerant of her? If she doesn't have a good life, I, I will feel very guilty."
Mu En smiled and said, "Treating her is my brother's business, it has nothing to do with me, but——"
He suppressed his smile and said seriously, "You are too kind. Such a kind girl actually has such a miserable life experience. Sister, you make my heart ache so much."
As he spoke, his hand gently covered Zhou Le's hand.
Zhou Le's heart was beating fast, and he raised his deer-like eyes to look at Mu En.
Mu En smiled slightly, "Good sister, since we are relatives, we should visit each other more often in the future."
Zhou Le smiled, then frowned again, and said softly, "But my sister was worried that we would take advantage of the Mu family, so when she left home, she said she was severing ties with us, and even forced my parents to sign a written agreement."
