Chapter 59: Madam Fu’s Birthday Party
Madam Fu’s birthday banquet was held in the old house of the Fu family. More than 20 years ago, the Fu family’s strength in the imperial capital stood at the top of the industry, which was awe-inspiring. After the disappearance of the daughter of the Fu family, they suffered defeat after defeat, and finally fell behind and were squeezed out of the ranking of aristocratic families.
Since Fu Zheng took over Fu's, the company's strength has been growing day by day, showing unlimited potential. It is considered to be very capable among the many new elite families. Old Madam Fu took the opportunity of her birthday to gather all the noble families together, which helped Fu Zheng's career.
What Fu Zheng didn't expect was that this time, after following his grandmother's arrangement and sending invitations to the four major families, the Zhan family, the Feng family, the Chu family, and the Xiao family, he didn't expect that they all sent people, and the Zhan family even sent three brothers and sisters, which surprised Fu Zheng a little.
Feng Linghan and Xiao Bai have always been in competition with the Zhan family. Especially since the younger generation of the Feng family does not have any young people who can compete with Zhan Rongxuan, they have always regarded Zhan Rongxuan as a thorn in their eyes.
Zhan Rongxuan of the Zhan family is a mysterious existence. He has been forced into desperate situations many times, but he manages to survive every time. No one of the three major families is willing to be inferior to the Zhan family, but the Zhan family will always stand firm.
There are rumors that as long as the eldest son of the Zhan family does not fall, the Zhan family will never be defeated. They have also used shady means to deal with Zhan Rongxuan, but they can always save him from danger. Now everyone has gradually given up. Perhaps his existence itself is a metaphysics.
But no one expected that he would bring that female college student with no background to such an occasion. It seemed that he was as casual as his father, which made everyone present a little disappointed. It's also because he doesn't need a marriage alliance and has the capital to be casual.
Everyone looked at Xu Yueyao at the same time. To be honest, they didn't see what was different about this girl. In terms of beauty, the daughters of each of their families were also top beauties. It can only be said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and this Xu Yueyao just happened to catch Zhan Rongxuan's eye.
Zhan Rongting of the Zhan family is ruthless and decisive in his actions, and his decisiveness is amazing. You can never gain any advantage by going against him. The female companion he brought today is Li Mo from the Li family, which is unexpected. Although the Li family is a scholarly family, first their daughter Li Wenting married Zhan Yunye, and now their granddaughter Li Mo is favored by Zhan Rongting. The Li family is also good at cultivating their daughters.
Although Zhan Rongjun is a woman, her abilities are no less than men's. She is tactful and never makes mistakes. I heard that her father Zhan Yunye lost a lot of money in gambling on stones a few days ago. The fact that she was able to attend the banquet shows that this incident did not affect them much. I heard that Zhan Yunye was so angry that he vomited blood, so the rumors must be false.
However, although Zhan Rongjun is extremely beautiful, her personality and abilities are daunting. Now no man in the imperial capital's aristocratic families can control her.
Zhan Rongxuan, Zhan Rongting and Zhan Rongjun never expected to meet on this occasion. To outsiders, they were tacitly united, and in the eyes of outsiders, the Zhan family was simply unbreakable. But behind closed doors, they would fight to the death again. Like now, seeing his two brothers each accompanied by a beautiful woman, Zhan Rongjun felt extremely unbalanced when he thought about the mess his family was in now.
She suddenly thought of something, her eyes became cunning, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. Her two brothers wanted to find a sister-in-law for her, so why didn't they inform Old Madam Zhan of their family? According to the time, the old lady has been practicing in the mountains for three years, and she will soon come down the mountain. Now there will be something interesting to watch.
Xu Yueyao didn't know what Zhan Rongjun was thinking. She felt that Zhan Rongjun was extremely pleasing to the eye. Her refreshing short hair matched her neutral and heroic face, and her light-colored hair made her jade-colored skin look even whiter and more translucent. She can look handsome and beautiful, and has her own unique charm.
Xu Yueyao looked at Zhan Rongjun and couldn't help but smile sweetly at her. That smile was so dazzling that it was hard for Zhan Rongjun to ignore it. Just when Zhan Rongjun was confused. Zhan Rongxuan smiled and lowered his head to remind her in a low voice: "Xu Yueyao, please be more restrained. You are laughing too loudly."
Xu Yueyao covered her mouth and said, "Is it so obvious?"
Zhan Rongxuan smiled and nodded. Xu Yueyao hurriedly lowered her head and restrained her behavior, but when she thought of the money Zhan Rongxuan gave her yesterday, she couldn't help but smile. This feeling, like winning the lottery by accident, how could she remain calm?
Xu Yueyao felt that she needed to calm down, and said to Zhan Rongxuan: "I'm going to the bathroom." Zhan Rongxuan nodded and told her to be careful.
When Xu Yueyao came back from the bathroom, she just saw Mrs. Fu coming out, and standing next to her was An Zhiyi.
Xu Yueyao was a little stunned. Why did An Zhiyi appear next to Old Madam Fu? It seemed that their relationship was very harmonious, which made Xu Yueyao even more puzzled.
"Are you surprised?" Fu Xiaosi's voice sounded behind him. He came to Xu Yueyao and looked at An Zhiyi who was supporting her grandmother on the stage with contempt in his eyes.
"Yeah, I'm surprised," Xu Yueyao did not deny that now An Zhiyi's entry into the Fu family seemed to be much smoother than in the original book.
"Grandma went out two days ago and was nearly hit by a car. She was rescued by An Zhiyi. She had heart palpitations and she helped buy medicine. Grandma called my eldest brother. When my eldest brother arrived, grandma knew that An Zhiyi was my eldest brother's girlfriend and just accepted it. Humph! Isn't it a bit bloody?" Fu Xiaosi chuckled and squinted his eyes. His mother had been in the Fu family for almost twenty years and was only accepted now. And it was too easy for An Zhiyi. He felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but he investigated it many times and it was just a coincidence. Moreover, his grandmother had made a last-minute decision to go out that day.
"It's really bloody," Xu Yueyao nodded in agreement. It seems that An Zhiyi's luck as the heroine is still there. In the original book, she helped the Fu family find the missing daughter of the Fu family. Not long after, a man named Xizhou appeared by her side and became her most capable assistant. With the help of the Fu family and Xizhou, she soon gained a place in the imperial capital.
An Zhiyi on the stage looked at Xu Yueyao and smiled at her appropriately. Xu Yueyao thought that she had already promised Fu Xiaosi to find the daughter of the Fu family, so she could only apologize to An Zhiyi. As long as An Zhiyi doesn't cause trouble for her, it would be good for the remaining two to be well.
"By the way, Su Yiming, whom you asked me to investigate, seems a bit strange."
"What's wrong"? Xu Yueyao asked nervously,
“Cannot find”?
"What's the meaning",
"There's not a trace at all. It's as if his past was deliberately erased by someone." Fu Xiaosi's eyes flashed with excitement. It was the first time he encountered such an interesting thing.
No trace at all? Xu Yueyao was puzzled. Who was he?
"Don't worry, I will continue to investigate and will help you get to the bottom of this matter." Fu Xiaosi assured her.
"Thanks"! Xu Yueyao raised her glass and clinked it with his.
The birthday party had turned into a business reception in the second half. Xu Yueyao looked at the time and it should be almost over. Just as she was about to look for Zhan Rongxuan, Li Mo came over with a glass of wine. She looked at Xu Yueyao and said softly, "Hello, my name is Li Mo."
Xu Yueyao smiled and nodded at her, "Hello, I'm Xu Yueyao."
Li Mo looked at Xu Yueyao seriously, and finally praised with a smile: "You are very beautiful, and you have beautiful eyes." Li Mo looked at Xu Yueyao. Not only was she beautiful, but her calmness and unrestrained manner also made people yearn for her. She probably knew why Zhan Rongxuan liked her.
"Thank you, you are very beautiful too." Xu Yueyao had no hostility towards her. In the original book, she had a good impression of Zhan Rongxuan, who definitely did not like Xu Yueyao, but there was no conflict either. Not aggressive.
However, Xu Yueyao looked up and saw An Zhiyi coming towards her. Xu Yueyao grabbed her skirt and prepared to leave. She had to stay away from this plague god.
