Zeng Kui glanced at the young man and said jokingly, "Brother Su, you don't dislike my appearance, do you?"
Su Yunchen hurriedly said, "Brother Zeng, what are you talking about? The most important thing in making friends is to be open-minded. There is no such thing as judging people by their appearance."
Zeng Kui's smile grew even wider upon hearing this. He slowly moved his face closer to Su Yunchen and said happily, "In that case, what do I need a mask for? The only people Zeng wants to make friends with are those like Brother Su who don't judge people by appearance. As for other people..." Zeng Kui smiled and glanced at the person who came out with them but deliberately stood some distance away from them, and smiled meaningfully.
The second son of the Su family, Su Yunchen, looked at Zeng Kui's face so close to him, his face turned pale, especially the way Zeng Kui's dead fish-like eyes stared at him, which made him feel creepy. Su Yunchen swallowed his saliva and tried his best to suppress the feeling of churning in his house, and moved to the side stiffly.
Zeng Kui saw it but didn't care. Instead, he kindly turned his face away and pointed at Ren Yaohua's carriage and asked Su Yunchen, "Whose family is the lady who just got on the carriage?"
There were several carriages parked not far from the gate of Fumanlou. Two girls looked at them with fear on their faces as they got into the carriages with the help of their maids. However, Zeng Kui was not pointing to this carriage, but the one in front.
Su Yunchen hesitated and said, "I didn't get a good look at the lady in the carriage in front, and I couldn't tell which family the carriage belonged to. But the one behind seems to be the Zhou family's carriage. I saw Zhou Wen before, and one of the two girls getting in should be his sister. Oh. Zhou Wen was my classmate at Yunyang Academy, and he's quite knowledgeable. I'd like to introduce you to each other if I have the chance."
At this moment, Zhou Wen strode out of Fumanlou, then walked to the carriage of Ren Yaoying and Zhou Rong and whispered a few words, as if asking the people in the carriage if they wanted to eat any cakes.
Zeng Kui smiled, took Su Yunchen's hand in his backhand, and dragged him across the street, saying, "There's no need to look for an opportunity. It's better to do it today than to wait for another day."
Su Yunchen was dragged for several steps before he realized what was happening. He couldn't help but feel annoyed. This cousin of his sister-in-law's was so self-willed and fond of touching people. No wonder his elder brother didn't want to accompany this brother-in-law. He still wasn't used to seeing Zeng Kui's face, but he couldn't refuse his father's request to entertain the guests.
Zeng Kui quickly dragged Su Yunchen in front of Zhou Wen, who was speaking. Zhou Wen was also startled when he saw Zeng Kui. However, as a man, he managed not to lose his composure in public. He avoided Zeng Kui's gaze and looked at Su Yunchen, asking in confusion, "Brother Su, what are you doing?"
Su Yunchen smiled awkwardly. He pulled his hand away from Zeng Kui, straightened his shirt, and bowed to Zhou Wen, "Brother Zhou." Then Su Yunchen glanced at Zeng Kui. He coughed lightly and said to Zhou Wen, "Brother Zhou, this is Zeng Kui, son of the new Ningxia General Zeng, and my eldest sister-in-law's cousin. He just heard me mention you, so he wanted to come over and make your acquaintance. Brother Zeng, this is Brother Zhou Wen."
Zhou Wen was considered a well-connected person among his peers. Otherwise, with his relatively ordinary family background, he wouldn't have been able to establish such close friendships with the sons of the Yun and Su families, as well as other prominent families.
After Su Yunchen introduced the two, Zhou Wen immediately smiled and said, "Oh, it's Brother Zeng. Excuse me."
