In the evening.
Zhou Ling finally finished his overseas affairs and rushed back.
Ivan can handle the following matters independently.
As soon as he stepped off the private plane, he wanted to go straight back to school.
Because he had already found out that Xiao Siyun had been in school these days.
Today I even spent the entire day in the dorm of a senior student.
But she has no classes tomorrow, so she will probably go home.
If he rushed back to school now, maybe he could still see her...
But before Zhou Ling could set off, he was tripped by He Yang who rushed into the room looking for him.
"Brother, brother, brother, you are back. That's great."
"Grandpa was afraid that you wouldn't be able to make it back, so he insisted that I go to the Xia family's party. It really saved my life."
"Since you're back, you should go ahead and stop wearing this and change into a suit."
He Yang directly threw away the casual clothes he had just taken out of the closet.
Fortunately, Zhou Ling didn't plan to wear that suit, so he just let him do it.
Zhou Ling refused He Yang's request and continued to pick clothes in the closet.
"I'm not going, so you go. Anyway, that Xia family kid has been at odds with you since childhood."
"If you go, you'll be stepping on his turf in person."
He Yang said unhappily:
"He couldn't beat me when he was little, and he still can't beat me now."
"I've completely lost interest in provoking him."
Speaking of this, He Yang started to complain humorously.
"I also heard that the party he's holding tonight isn't actually to celebrate the IPO."
"The more important thing is to find a marriage partner for him. I can't push him any further."
"Hilarious!"
"It took him so many years to get his lousy company listed, and this is just a small thing, is it worth throwing a party to publicize it?"
"At such a young age, he can't even find a decent girlfriend, and he's forced into an arranged marriage. How miserable!"
"I also heard that Li Tianyu from Lawyer Li's family is the beautiful woman who likes Xiao Yingzhi and has rejected Xia Bai several times."
He Yang laughed triumphantly, but Zhou Ling paused, "Xiao Yingzhi?"
"Will Xiao Yingzhi be present?"
He Yang: "Ah? Really? After all, we're all in business, so we have to go through the motions."
"So you think she'll go too?"
Zhou Ling suddenly muttered.
"Go ask, is Si Yun still in school?"
He Yang said with a look of understanding, "Xiao Yingzhi would definitely not bring the eldest daughter to attend such an event!"
"If it's something fun, maybe the young lady would want to join in the fun."
"It's similar to the auction we held a while ago. I think the young lady would be interested."
"But the Xia family's party is obviously for business talks. I bet the young lady won't go."
He Yang made a decisive judgment, and Zhou Ling felt that he had some truth in it.
But why did he feel something was wrong?
After thinking about it, he decided to go back to school to find Xiao Siyun first.
"I'm not going to the party. Good luck."
When He Yang heard him say this, he began to regret why he had just told the truth.
If I had known this, I would have lied to him and told him that the eldest lady would definitely attend, and his brother would definitely dress up and attend the event.
But just when He Yang was about to be overjoyed, his grandfather arrived.
As soon as Mr. Zhou heard that Zhou Ling had landed, he came over and asked him to show up at the party together.
He Yang smiled secretly.
Zhou Ling, who was about to go out and run towards Xiao Siyun, pretended to be tired.
"Grandpa, I'm still a little sleepy. I need to adjust to the time difference, or..."
Mr. Zhou sighed.
"You have to suffer from jet lag when you accompany me to the party, but you won't feel tired when you go to meet the girl?"
"Don't think I don't know you flew over to buy gifts. The time difference is less than an hour."
"Stop talking nonsense, change your clothes and follow me."
Zhou Ling had no choice but to give up, put away the gift he was going to give to Xiao Siyun, and went back to change into a decent suit.
On the way, Mr. Zhou also gave the two brothers some instructions.
"Although the Xia family doesn't have the momentum they once had, the storefront is still here."
"He Yang, I'm talking to you. You look down on that kid from the Xia family every day. Pay attention this time."
"The old man from the Xia family is older than me. He just got out of the hospital after spending half a year there."
"His family does this to make him happy and add to the festivities."
"Regardless of whether the company goes public or not, or whether the grandson has a family and a career, please stop making the old man angry."
"Do you understand?"
"I understand!" The two agreed in unison, got out of the car in a lifeless manner and walked into the venue.
Xia Bai stood at the door, next to his father, welcoming the guests.
As soon as he saw that it was someone from the Zhou family, his smiling face immediately fell.
Xia Bai and He Yang have been at odds since childhood. They fought every day when they were young, and they still disliked each other when they grew up.
He was even less familiar with Zhou Ling, because Zhou Ling always looked down on him.
In fact, his father and grandfather also disliked the Zhou family.
No one likes someone who is superior to them in everything.
But Father Xia was better at superficiality than Xia Bai, and he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Mr. Zhou, you are here. Thank you for your hard work. My father has been thinking about you."
"It just so happens that you are in the country these days. It is an honor to invite you here."
Father Xia was still pretending to greet Mr. Zhou and saying some polite words.
Xia Bai next to him had already exchanged glances with He Yang, and sparks were flying.
Only Zhou Ling sighed again and again, felt like yawning, and lost interest in the whole world.
He watched with boredom as He Yang and Xia Bai fought like children playing house.
I'm too lazy to even laugh.
She was only thinking about Xiao Siyun, so she took a detour with him to bring her the little gift.
However, at this moment, Xia Bai, who had been glaring at He Yang, suddenly relaxed his expression.
His eyes suddenly widened, and he looked straight over the shoulders of He Yang and Zhou Ling, looking in the direction where the guests behind them were entering.
He Yang was surprised to see that he was suddenly distracted, so he turned around to look back.
Zhou Ling was a little curious about their strange behavior, but because he was in a bad mood, he was too lazy to turn around.
Unexpectedly, I saw He Yang's eyes widen, and he felt like he was enlightened.
He became somewhat interested and was about to turn around to see what was going on.
Then I heard a clear, cheerful and familiar voice coming from behind me.
"Zhou Ling."
Zhou Ling trembled all over, as if his heart had jumped out of the stagnant water again.
He immediately responded and turned back, only to see a light violet figure approaching him.
The romantic and poetic sweet fragrance of flowers and trees that she brought with her wafted through the air.
Xiao Siyun looked at him in surprise with a smile on his face and a bright sparkle in his eyes.
"You're back!"
