Xiao Zheng stared at Lin Xiaozhu, who was smoking, dumbfounded, and asked, "Why did you learn to smoke?"
Lin Xiaozhu flicked the ashes of his cigarette skillfully and said with a grin: "In the United States, there are too many women who smoke. Among the four people in our dormitory alone, three of them smoke."
Xiao Zheng asked in confusion: "Because others smoke, you also learn to smoke?"
Lin Xiaozhu noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Zheng's expression. He hurriedly took two puffs, then snuffed it out. He raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Zheng: "Brother-in-law, are you too overbearing? You are allowed to smoke, but I am not allowed to smoke?"
"I just didn't expect you to learn to smoke." Xiao Zheng looked at Lin Xiaozhu with complicated eyes and sighed.
"Why?" Lin Xiaozhu asked. "If my sister smokes, will you care?"
"She doesn't know how to smoke." Xiao Zheng shook his head calmly.
"What if?" Lin Xiaozhu asked.
"There are no what-ifs." Xiao Zheng was determined. "Just like your sister and I will take care of you for the rest of our lives. There is no so-called if, and there is no second possibility."
Lin Xiaozhu looked subtle and explained: "I actually smoke very little. At most four or five cigarettes a day."
"It doesn't matter how much." Xiao Zheng shook his head gently and stared at Lin Xiaozhu softly. "Brother-in-law doesn't care if your roommates smoke. Even if they smoke marijuana, I'm not interested in knowing. But in the eyes of brother-in-law, Lin Xiaozhu doesn't drink alcohol and shouldn't smoke. You can take a sip while your brother-in-law smokes. But you must not light yourself a cigarette, not even one."
Xiao Zheng spoke extremely solemnly, and rarely put on a stern expression in front of Lin Xiaozhu. Lin Xiaozhu was caught off guard and unable to parry.
Facing Xiao Zheng's burning eyes, Lin Xiaozhu bit his red lips and whispered: "Brother-in-law, I promise you that I will never smoke again."
"Yes." Xiao Zheng nodded slightly, his expression finally returning to normal.
Ding dong.
The elevator door opened in response, and Xiao Zheng took Lin Xiaozhu's young palm and strode out of the hotel.
The hotel lobby was crowded with people, but Xiao Zheng held Lin Xiaozhu's hand tightly. Not loose at all.
Lin Xiaozhu tilted his eyes, stared quietly, and peeked. It had been a long time since she had admired her brother-in-law's profile from such a close distance. It's really not that good-looking, but in Harvard, the world's top university, Lin Xiaozhu has never seen a man who is more pleasing to the eye, more masculine, and more comfortable than his brother-in-law. Even if they are talented, even if their family background is outstanding, even if they are like chicken blood, wandering downstairs of her dormitory every day. Try every means to attract her attention. But what is in her heart is always the man beside her sister. Her dearest brother-in-law.
When her brother-in-law is normal, she is more presumptuous than in front of anyone. When her brother-in-law is displeased, she becomes even more nervous than in front of her father—
Driving to the party venue, Xiao Zheng and Lin Xiaozhu were surrounded by several well-dressed young people as soon as they stepped out of the car.
The leader was a handsome blond boy. Approximately twenty-three or four years old. He's obviously the boss. He wore a beautiful Versace suit and had two beautiful studs in his left ear. There is a hint of evil mixed in the handsomeness, which can be called evil charm.
"Xiao Zhu, is he the male companion you mentioned?" The handsome blond asked in less authentic Chinese.
Lin Xiaozhu said with a distant expression: "Yes." After that, she took the initiative to take Xiao Zheng's palm and said lightly. "Bill, as the host of the party, why are you standing guard at the door if you don't go in to greet the guests?"
"It's not just to wait for you." Bill explained with a smile and a slight hostility in his eyes. "You are the little princess at tonight's party."
Lin Xiaozhu frowned slightly and pulled Xiao Zheng into the club. Bill and others were left outside the door.
"The young man is quite handsome." Xiao Zheng asked with a smile as they entered the club. "What, he is pursuing you?"
Lin Xiaozhu rolled his eyes at Xiao Zheng: "You know, why don't you help me get rid of him?"
"I think this young man has a good sense of humor, and his taste and financial resources are quite good. Is the Bugatti Veyron at the door just now his?" Xiao Zheng asked casually.
"Yeah." Lin Xiaozhu said perfunctorily.
"Rich man." Xiao Zheng said loudly. "His car is worth more than thirty million."
"What's so great?" Lin Xiaozhu curled his lips and said. "Even if he goes to school in a helicopter every day, he's just a loser."
"Your senior at Harvard?" Xiao Zheng asked casually. I took a puff on the e-cigarette which was not very strong.
"Yeah." Lin Xiaozhu interrupted Xiao Zheng's continued questioning and said coquettishly. "Oh, brother-in-law, can you stop mentioning him all the time? This party is a gathering place for New York's dandies. There are at least three people with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars. They are all typical rich kids. If you are interested, I will introduce them to you one by one. .”
While talking, the two walked around the screen and came to the splendid party scene. Typical European and American style, like a royal palace, giving people a luxurious atmosphere.
Xiao Zheng glanced at the scene, which contained no less than thirty men and women. It could be described as a luxurious top-notch party. Drunken life and dreaming of death.
"Do you know all these people?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
"Basically we met each other." Lin Xiaozhu said with a smile. "But those who are truly friends. Not yet."
"Then why did you bring me here?" Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "Brother-in-law, I am not a rich boy."
"It's not because of my face, I can't shirk it. If you come with me, you can avoid a lot of trouble." Lin Xiaozhu explained.
"It's a good thing your sister didn't come." Xiao Zheng said with emotion as he looked at the group of wealthy young men walking towards Lin Xiaozhu with a smile. "Otherwise, we'll be in real trouble."
"Xiaozhu!"
A young man in a neat suit slowly came to Lin Xiaozhu and said with a smile: "Can I take up your time for a dance?"
Completely ignoring Xiao Zheng's existence.
"No." Lin Xiaozhu held Xiao Zheng's arm and said without mercy. "He is my dance partner."
"I can lend him my dance partner." Young Master approached aggressively.
This time, before Lin Xiaozhu could respond, Xiao Zheng took the initiative and said, "I'm sorry, your dance partner is too ugly, I can't accept it."
In an instant. The young man's expression suddenly changed. A glass of red wine almost poured on Xiao Zheng's face. If this wasn't Bill's place, if Lin Xiaozhu hadn't come from a worldly background, he might not be able to hold it back.
With a smile on his lips, Lin Xiaozhu pulled Xiao Zheng aside and came to a nearby balcony to chat.
"Brother-in-law, you were awesome just now!" Lin Xiaozhu said with a smile.
"You brought me here just for a walk, right?" Xiao Zheng glanced sideways at his brother-in-law who shared the same hatred, then slowly looked away, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "In Mingzhu, my brother-in-law still has some respect. But here I am unfamiliar with the place. In New York, if my brother-in-law gets into trouble, he will go to jail. As far as I know, American law is particularly unruly towards us yellow people. We are doing something shady." Xiao Zheng said pretending to be horrified.
