Chapter 19: Entrance Banquet
One morning a few days later, Yu Chucheng walked down the spiral staircase in a daze, yawning sleepily as he walked.
It's only seven o'clock in the morning. Normally he would still be dreaming in bed at this time, but today is an exception.
Mr. and Mrs. Yu had hurriedly flown back from France when they heard about Yu Chucheng's second differentiation. Now there were a lot of things waiting for them to deal with, and they had to fly back at nine o'clock, so Yu Ziheng arranged for the family to have breakfast together in the morning.
It is not advisable to eat too greasy food for breakfast, as the ingredients available are very limited. The five-star chef at home spent the whole night thinking about it before making a light, delicious and nutritious breakfast.
Unfortunately, Yu Chucheng often skipped breakfast since he was in junior high school. Now he can’t be seen at home before 11 o’clock in the morning. Over time, it seems that he has evolved away from the need to eat breakfast.
He looked at the sumptuous meal on the table and just silently picked up the milk and took two sips. The expression on his face was as dull as a monk who abstains from meat and is indifferent.
"Jingchen, you should know that the Zhang family is going to hold a graduation banquet for their son, right?" Mr. Yu asked.
Yu Jingchen slowly spread butter on the bread, "I know, they sent an invitation to our house, but I've been busy with work recently, and I don't have much to talk about with these young people, so it's better to let Chu Cheng go."
Yu Chucheng seemed to hear someone mention his name in a trance, and his soul that had been wandering in the air gradually returned to its place.
"Zhang family? Zhang Hanzhou's graduation banquet?"
Yu Jingchen looked at him with some surprise, "Yes, you know Zhang Hanzhou?"
Yu Chucheng suddenly came to his senses, "I can't say I know him, I just know him."
This is the protagonist in the book. After traveling through the book for so long, I am finally going to meet the protagonist.
But Yu Chucheng didn't really want to go. He remembered that the Zhang family's graduation banquet was an important plot in the original book. It was in the Zhang family's mansion that the two protagonists met for the first time and fell in love at first sight.
Now that he doesn't have to lick Hao Jia anymore, why would he be a third wheel?
"Can I not go..." Yu Chucheng protested weakly while biting the apple numbly.
But it was obviously not possible. The invitations had already been delivered to their homes, and they were all well-known wealthy families in Kyoto, so they still had to put on a show.
"If you feel bored, you can bring a friend. The Zhang family is hosting a grand party this time. You can bring one more person with one invitation." Yu Jingchen paused and added as a warning, "You are not allowed to bring that guy named Hao."
Yu Chucheng slumped in the chair like a boneless person, "Don't worry, I won't take him with me."
She is the protagonist, so he doesn't need to worry about her.

On the day of the graduation banquet, Yu Chucheng brought Ji Zhou to the Zhang family mansion.
The Zhang family held a grand party this time. There were banners hung on the railings on the second floor, a huge nine-layer cake in the lobby of the magnificent mansion, champagne on the long table, and a variety of snacks and dishes.
Yu Chucheng took a quick glance and saw that there were not only Kyoto's famous dishes, but also Japanese cuisine, French and Western food, etc.
Servants came in and out carrying plates, accompanied by the melodious music played by the symphony orchestra.
Even though Yu Chucheng was mentally prepared in advance, he was still shocked by the Zhang family's exaggerated display, as if they were afraid that others would not know that Zhang Hanzhou had been admitted to Peking University.
With a snack in his mouth, Ji Zhou and Yu Chucheng found a sofa in the corner and sat down. People coming and going cast strange glances at them from time to time.
Ji Zhou nudged Yu Chucheng, who was playing with his phone, with his arm and asked, "Do you think there's something wrong with the way other people look at us?"
Yu Chucheng raised his head, and the gazes from all around him instantly retreated like a tide. He frowned, then continued to look at his phone. He didn't care much at first.
Until a familiar voice broke the silence.
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect you to be the second young master of the Yu family. I offended you so much at the KTV last time. Second Young Master Yu won't hold a grudge against me, right?"
Qi Rui wore a sexy pink shirt today and had his hair done, looking very respectable.
He held a wine glass in one hand and the female companion he brought with him in the other, and walked straight towards them through the crowd.
He comes with ill intentions.
Yu Chucheng put away his phone, too lazy to get up from the sofa, "Don't worry, I'm different from you. I'm not that petty."
Qi Rui seemed not to hear Yu Chucheng's sarcasm. He reached out and touched his female companion's waist, then suddenly pushed her towards Yu Chucheng.
The woman had long wavy hair and she let out a small scream as she threw herself onto the sofa, attracting the attention of people around her.
Yu Chucheng reacted quickly and dodged.
Ji Zhou frowned and stood up, "What are you doing!"
Qi Rui spread his hands and pretended to be innocent. "Isn't it true that Second Master Yu is short of people recently? I just happened to send a beautiful woman to accompany him."
Ji Zhou sneered disdainfully. He knew Yu Chucheng very well, and this was obviously unreliable gossip.
However, Qi Rui bent over with great interest and looked at Yu Chucheng on the sofa, "Isn't it? No wonder you defended Duan Huaijin so much in the KTV before, it turns out that he is your new lover."
Ji Zhou: "What the hell are you talking about!"
Seeing Yu Chucheng didn't say anything, Qi Rui shrugged, "You still don't admit it, right? I heard that you were having a lot of fun licking an Omega before, but when you met Duan Huaijin, you kicked him out, tsk tsk..."
Ji Zhou clenched his fist. If his family was not powerless, this punch would have landed on this lunatic's face.
Why do these words and this touching logic sound so familiar?
Yu Chucheng's eyes gradually became gloomy. "Who told you that?"
Qi Rui was not afraid of making trouble and raised his chin towards the window in the hall, "Him."
Ji Zhou and Yu Chucheng both followed Qi Rui's gaze.
Ji Zhou: "Chen Rong? Why is he here too?! Is the person next to him Hao Jia?"
Yu Chucheng paused.
The protagonist is worthy of being the protagonist. He attracts everyone's attention wherever he goes. In addition, Hao Jia is a sweet and cute type, with slightly curly hair, a gentle voice, and bright eyes like crescent moons when he smiles. Many Alphas' eyes are glued to him.
"Is Yu Chucheng really as bad as you say? I thought he was pretty handsome before."
"Yeah, that face is wasted. I didn't expect he would be such a person."
The few people surrounding Hao Jia were new friends that Hao Jia had made today. After listening to Shen Rong's description, their impression of Yu Chucheng was shattered, and some even began to doubt the family tradition of the Yu family.
"You know, last time my dad had dinner with the eldest young master of the Yu family, I heard that Yu Jingchen is an absolute brother-con."
"What's wrong with brother control? I also want a brother who dotes on me."
As if he was afraid that the fire was not burning strong enough, Shen Rong interrupted and said, "Haha, Yu Chucheng must be so arrogant because he indulged him. I think the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. I guess there is no normal person in the whole Yu family."
After all, the Yu family is a well-known wealthy family in Kyoto, and the people around them are just gathered together to watch the show, but no one dares to say anything bad about the Yu family.
As a result, Chen Rong not only vented his dissatisfaction with Yu Chucheng, but also implied the entire Yu family. The people around him looked at each other and couldn't help but remain silent, not wanting to continue to agree.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Unlike Chen Rong, their families are either in business or their parents are managers of large companies. If they offend the Yu family, they will definitely be beaten by their family when they return home.
Hao Jia noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange, and hurriedly pulled Shen Rong's clothes, "Okay, let's not talk about this today, there are so many people here."
Unfortunately, Shen Rong did not understand Hao Jia’s meaning and said loudly: “Why don’t you say it? You want everyone to know what kind of person Yu Chucheng is.”
Different circles have different levels, and he wanted to expose Yu Chucheng's true face in this kind of occasion so that people in Yu Chucheng's circle would draw a clear line with Yu Chucheng.
When Shen Rong shouted like this, people from all directions cast their eyes towards them.
A layer of cold sweat oozed out of Hao Jia's palms, his lips moved nervously, and he wanted to say a few more words of advice.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he saw a hand grabbing Shen Rong's hair.
