This was Zhou Jiao's first time meeting the eldest grandson of the Yi family. He was in the army in the south and rarely returned to Beijing. Seeing him now, she couldn't help but take a second look.
He was indeed a handsome man, with good genes. Although she had never met Yi Ming, the old vixen, she could tell that this boy took after his father and hadn't inherited anything from his mother.
Yi Zhe's eyes immediately caught Zhou Jiao's eye as he entered. There was no way around it; this girl sitting there was impossible for anyone to ignore. She was just smiling quietly, a type he hadn't expected.
The Yi family had many cousins, including their own sister. There were all kinds of girls, some quiet and some playful, but there was no girl as pleasing to the eye as this one.
He noticed Zhou Jiao's attention on him, and his face flushed. Luckily, he'd been exposed to the sun and wind over the past few years, and his complexion had darkened. He felt a little relieved at the thought.
Zhang Guoqing was watching from the side, furious. What kind of look was that? How could he look at his wife like that? He didn't have Yi Taiji's shrewdness at all. How blind must he be!
Zhang Guoqing looked at his wife and the other man and smiled at each other. He almost rushed forward and beat the wild boy to death. If it wasn't their first meeting, he would have taught this boy a lesson.
The so-called elite of the Yi family is nothing but a greenhorn and a young boy. No wonder he still has no wife.
Although the three of them had many thoughts, they only took a blink of an eye.
Fang Fei heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Guoqing and his wife sitting there. If there were fewer people, he would have felt embarrassed to go into battle alone.
But man, why do you think it’s better to have more people? Doesn’t it spread faster when there are more people?
Fang Fei hadn't thought of this at the moment. He smiled and said, "Everyone is here. So shouldn't we go to the table?"
Yi Zhe interjected, "Why don't you introduce us? My little sister and the others are here for the first time, and this guy looks unfamiliar."
Master Wu and several other young masters burst into laughter after hearing this.
"Xiao Wu, you're such a stranger."
"Oh, I'm dying of laughter. Lao Yi, you don't even recognize your grandfather's close friend, you're so unfilial. Be careful or get beaten up by your grandfather when you get home."
Qu Zhihai just smiled and said nothing. He knew Zhang Guoqing, Zhou Xiaozheng's son-in-law. Unfortunately, due to his sister-in-law Qu Xiaoyue's infatuation, he didn't have a close relationship with her.
Yi Zhe was such a smart guy. After hearing what they said, he immediately knew, without any introduction, that this was Zhang Guoqing from the Zhou family. He was the Zhang Xiaowu his father had mentioned.
Then he immediately thought that the girl just now should be Zhou Xiaozheng's daughter Zhou Jiao, his lost young wife. If it weren't for Zhou Xiaozheng's accident that year, Zhou Jiao would definitely be his wife.
He felt unhappy when he thought of this, especially after seeing Zhou Jiao. He felt even worse. In the past, his father teased him, but he didn't take it seriously. But just a little bit, the beauty belonged to someone else.
Yi Zhe cleared his throat, smiled, stepped forward, extended his hand, and looked at Zhang Guoqing, "I've been friends with you for a long time. You're the one my dad has always been teasing me about."
Zhang Guoqing reached out and shook his right hand, smiling and saying, "That's because Uncle Yi thinks highly of me. Why are you listening to his nonsense? It's nice to meet you."
Yi Zhe originally wanted to give the other party a warning and planned to shake his hand hard until it hurt. He had to avenge this guy for stealing his wife, right?
Even though he knew the idea was ridiculous, he couldn't help but wish for time to turn back. It was impossible to say how much he loved Zhou Jiao, considering it was only their first meeting. He felt a little bitter that his beloved wife, who he had been engaged to, had just gone to waste.
Thinking of this, Yi Zhe looked Zhang Guoqing in deep thought. The two men held hands, neither letting go first. Of course, Yi Zhe wouldn't really try to trip Zhang Guoqing up. He knew he possessed divine power, and he was foolish enough to seek such misfortune.
After a while, everyone felt something was amiss between the two. Yi Zhe finally relaxed his right hand and punched Zhang Guoqing, only to see that his expression remained unchanged, a smile on his face.
He sighed inwardly and laughed, "Lucky guy! I heard your son is already three years old. My old man drools every time he sees him. Man, you're definitely attracting a lot of hatred."
Zhang Guoqing lightly punched him back and chuckled, "You'd better get married soon, otherwise you won't have a big fat boy. How is Uncle Yi now? Is he still not planning to return to Beijing?"
Yi Zhe smiled and shook his head, "My dad is a casual person, so it seems like we'll have to stay for a while. We'll talk later, let's eat first."
As the food was served, everyone took their seats without hesitation.
There was a table full of delicious food and wine. Zhang Guoqing sat on Zhou Jiao's left, Li Mei sat on her right, and then several other girls sat in rows.
Compared to Zhang Guoqing's sensitivity, Zhou Jiao, who was emotionally dull, didn't notice Yi Zhe's abnormality at all. She was silently paying attention to Yi Shumin from the Yi family and Qu Wan from the Qu family.
The five girls were talking in low voices and smiling at each other.
Observe the family education through details. The girls of the Yi family are indeed more outstanding than those of the Qu family. Yi Shumin is generous and speaks without hesitation. Qu Wan is more beautiful than Yi Shumin, but her temperament is a bit pretentious.
Zhou Jiao saw Qu Wan raise her orchid finger, avoiding the crowd with her chopsticks as she picked up the dishes. She then watched as she secretly threw away the chopped green onions and counted the rice grains in small mouthfuls. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that this girl must be disliked by Fang Fei.
Fang Fei wants a female tough guy. Girl, be bold and don't be afraid of making a fool of yourself.
Zhou Jiao secretly hoped to enjoy Fang Fei's dilemma. Seeing this momentum, she felt a little depressed. What a shame! Two women competing for one man would be so exciting!
The silly girl ate the food Zhang Guoqing had picked up, not noticing that something was wrong with her husband today. His attentiveness was so obvious, even testing the temperature of the soup in the middle of winter. What a careless mistake.
Zhang Guoqing's actions caused Yi Shumin, who was paying attention to Fang Fei, to also notice Zhang Xiaowu, who was sitting next to Fang Fei. She opened her mouth in surprise, but tried to hold it in.
Several young masters were busy drinking, and no one except Yi Zhe noticed the unusual situation at the table. He shook his head slightly at his sister.
A dozen people had a late dinner and moved to the living room.
A basket of oranges has been placed on the small square table in the living room, and there are many melon seeds and pastries on the coffee table.
Zhang Guoqing peeled an orange and handed it to Zhou Jiao, while chatting with them.
Everyone knew that Fang Fei was the protagonist tonight, so they all asked him about his personal matters and talked about his hobbies. This was also to help the girls get to know their blind date better.
Zhou Jiao was secretly happy to see this secret action.
Li Mei even winked at her secretly, and the two of them asked in unison about the two girls' usual pastimes.
For a moment, everyone was chatting with each other and the conversation became more lively.
When the clock struck nine in the evening, everyone woke up and said goodbye. At this time, Zhou Jiao realized that everyone had left. Whose yard did it belong to?
Of course, she didn't ask any questions. If she had any questions, she could just ask Zhang Guoqing.
Having satisfied her rare curiosity, Zhou Jiao happily watched the affair between the three people along the way.
That little look made Zhang Guoqing's heart blossom. He said that his wife was very slow to respond to his admirers, and it turned out to be true.
Being slow is good, he will definitely make his wife unable to sense the hidden enemy - especially the love rival who is the most annoying.
