As soon as Cheng Zhi entered the hall, he was baptized by many eyes.
Almost half of the people present set their eyes on him either explicitly or secretly.
In an instant, he noticed that the uncles and aunts he was familiar with looked at him a little hard to explain. Besides, there seems to be some pity in the eyes
But what did they pity him for
When Cheng Zhizheng was wondering what happened, Zhang Yuyao had already run up to him quickly, and shouted anxiously and urgently, "Fourth brother!"
If you listen carefully, you can still feel a little vibrato in Zhang Yuyao's voice.
Cheng Zhi glanced at her casually and greeted her.
Cheng Zhi looked around calmly, and immediately noticed an unexpected guest—Lou Che standing on the stage.
Seeing Lou Che, a look of surprise quickly flashed across his eyes. Why did Lou Che appear here
Just when Cheng Zhi was still wondering why Lou Che appeared here, his best brother jumped up to his side, leaned close to him, and whispered in his ear, "Cheng Si, the emperor's grandson came back."
Cheng Zhi is such a smart person, when he heard his brother's words, he thought of the plausible words Mr. Cheng said to him not long ago, plus Lou Che who appeared at the Cheng family's dinner inexplicably, what's wrong with him? understandable
Mr. Cheng's only grandson, the "grandson of the emperor" in Jiangnankou, has returned.
In other words, the Cheng's consortium finally had a serious heir.
Jiang Nan sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and silently comforted him.
Although Cheng Zhi was shocked for a moment, his facial expression quickly adjusted. He gave his brother a look, indicating that he was fine.
Some people who usually do not get along with Cheng Zhi and are always bullied by Cheng Zhi can't help talking behind their backs, which makes them worse.
God knows how long they have been waiting for Cheng Zhi to be embarrassed.
A: "Cheng Si is such a proud person, you say he knows that the real heir of the Cheng family has returned, how will he react now?"
B: "How else can I react? I think the sky is falling, right? Hehehe."
A: "Let him be so crazy at ordinary times, always look down on people with dog eyes, look, now the retribution is coming!"
B: "At first, I thought the Cheng family would be in his pocket, but I didn't expect it would be difficult for him to even get a piece of the pie now. It's a cycle of heaven!"
But these people only dare to talk in private at most, and they still dare not face Cheng Zhi and ridicule him in front of Cheng Zhi.
Cheng Zhi is not only proud, but also holds grudges very much.
Leaving aside his family background, let's just talk about him. He is ruthless, cunning, with high IQ and EQ, and has a business mind. It is definitely not a wise thing to meet him.
So the two of them only dared to tease each other about Cheng Zhi in private, just to have fun.
If they are really asked to do something or say something, they absolutely dare not.
But seeing this scene, they already feel very happy!
Seeing that Cheng Zhi didn't pay much attention to her, Zhang Yuyao couldn't help stamping his feet, and said eagerly, "Fourth brother, do you know..."
Halfway through Zhang Yuyao's speech, the microphone on the stage rang again.
Cheng Che smiled and said to everyone present, "Let me introduce to you, the lady in the starry sky skirt is my girlfriend."
Gu Mian never expected that today was Cheng Che's home game, but he still didn't forget to take her along.
Under the eyes of all the guests, Gu Mian had no choice but to step up to the stage and stand beside Cheng Che.
When Gu Mian was walking, the starry sky dress studded with diamonds on her body looked extremely bright under the light of the crystal chandelier on the roof.
The skirt has an elegant and beautiful arc as it moves.
But what shined brighter than this dress was her appearance.
Snow skin and flower appearance, natural beauty.
A natural stunner.
As soon as Gu Mian stood beside Cheng Che, Cheng Che grabbed her hand.
In the end, the middle-aged man who was still the most active broke the silence of the scene, held his beer belly, and said very flatteringly, "Nephew, you really can't be more suitable for men and women!"
This middle-aged man has always been close to the Cheng family.
When Cheng Qichen was still alive, he was Cheng Qichen's best brother.
So he called Cheng Che his nephew. Although there was suspicion of a close relationship, he really couldn't find anything wrong.
No one doesn't like to hear good words, even if he is as proud as Lou Che, he can't help but like such compliments.
He hooked his lips and said to the middle-aged man, "Thank you."
Mr. Cheng, who had been watching from the sidelines, didn't know what to say.
The purpose of his holding this banquet tonight is to let everyone in the upper class of the port city get to know Cheng Che. Of course, this is the first, and the second is that he plans to hand over all these connections to Cheng Che's hands.
But he didn't expect that Cheng Che would not forget to introduce his girlfriend on this occasion.
He never expected that the grandson he had just recognized had the potential to be a foolish king.
The middle-aged man who was so supportive all the way couldn't help but walk up to Mr. Cheng, and jokingly said, "Mr. Cheng, is it going to be your grandson's engagement banquet next?"
Old Master Cheng tapped his cane, and said flatly, "It depends on what Chezai wants."
The middle-aged man laughed twice, and echoed, "Yes, this marriage is a lifetime thing, and you still have to like it."
The middle-aged man couldn't help but think slowly, regardless of other factors, just looking at the appearance, these two people are an absolute match. I just don't know if it's compatible with other aspects.
If the next thing is really the engagement banquet, then the Cheng family will be considered a double happiness recently.
Although this double happiness may be disliked by many Cheng family members.
But Mr. Cheng must be the happiest one.
The highlight of tonight's banquet has passed, and the next step is to make various contacts and tout each other's business time.
The scene suddenly became more relaxed by two points, at least on the surface.
As for how turbulent the situation is in the dark, only I know.
Zhang Yu stared at Gu Mian's starry sky dress from afar, and stomped her foot resentfully.
She glanced sideways at Cheng Zhi, and found that he was also looking at Gu Mian, and Zhang Yuyao felt even more resentful in her heart.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Che introduced Gu Mian in front of everyone, but Cheng Zhi still paid attention to Gu Mian.
But Zhang Yuyao is not all love brains, he knows that there is one thing that is more important than Cheng Zhi's attention to Gu Mian.
"Fourth brother, what should you do next!"
Zhang Yuyao almost died of anxiety for Cheng Zhi.
Cheng Zhi lowered his head and glanced at her indifferently, "What should I do?"
"You are no longer the heir of Cheng's consortium!"
A moment of impatience flashed in Cheng Zhi's eyes, he lowered his head and fiddled with the custom-made cuffs, his tone became more and more indifferent, "I have never been the heir of the Cheng's consortium."
In fact, this matter was at best a tacit matter. Mr. Cheng never made any verbal promises.
If Cheng Che doesn't come back, then most likely he will inherit the consortium.
Before, he himself had always thought so.
After all, Mr. Cheng admired him the most among all the younger generations.
But like Zhang Yuyao, it is not a smart way to say this bluntly.
Before everything is settled, there are really too many variables. What's more, now that Cheng Che has returned, what she said is useless except to bring hatred for him.
Jiang Nan couldn't help frowning, and scolded in a low voice, "You can't be softer? You want others to watch Cheng Si's good show, right?"
Zhang Yuyao was also surprised that she had reacted too much, she hurriedly apologized, "I'm not, I don't, I'm just worried about my fourth brother."
Jiang Nan sneered, "The emperor is not in a hurry for the eunuchs."
Zhang Yuyao was angry, "You!" She didn't bother to talk to Jiangnan at all, she turned to Cheng Zhi with an anxious expression on her face, "Fourth brother, you don't even know what others say about you!"
Cheng Zhi laughed, with a disdainful voice, "At most they only dare to talk about it behind their backs. Do you think anyone dares to talk about it in front of me? It's just a mob."
Even if Cheng Che returns, he will still be the Fourth Young Master of the Cheng family.
His family background, ability, and education are not fake.
Could it be that he is still afraid of those unworthy dandies? It was a joke.
Even if he loses his status as an heir, he, Cheng Zhi, still has his own pride and strength of character.
He took one more look at Cheng Che and Gu Mian who were making contacts with Mr. Cheng, then turned and left.
After Jiang Nan saw it, he hurriedly followed.
The two tacitly left Zhang Yuyao behind.
Cheng Zhi and Jiang Nan arrived at Cheng's back garden.
As soon as he got to a place where no one was around, Jiang Nan leaned forward and patted his brother on the shoulder, sighed, and said, "Which one of us is with the other, if you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me, brother will make a tree hole for you."
Cheng Zhicai relaxed after leaving the sight of other people at the banquet.
His eyes were a little confused, and he murmured, "Why him?"
In fact, Cheng Che's return today was far beyond his expectations.
But if Mr. Cheng recognized that the grandson was someone else, Cheng Zhi might be able to accept it a little faster.
But why Cheng Che
Jiang Nan suddenly heard the meaning behind Cheng Zhi's words, and he said in surprise, "Why, you two know each other?"
Jiangnan has started to take over the family business in recent months. He is so busy that he doesn't even have time to eat and drink, so he is not very informed about the outside world. Naturally, he didn't know about Cheng Zhi and Cheng Che's robbery of women.
Cheng Zhi laughed at himself, "I have confronted him a few times."
"Where is the conflict? Are you two confronting each other?"
Cheng Zhi was generous, and said simply, "I've taken a fancy to his girlfriend."
Jiang Nan almost thought he had heard wrong.
His vision is as high as Cheng Zhi's, so he's actually tempted
His expression suddenly changed, "Is that the pretty girl in the starry sky skirt today?"
"Um."
Jiang Nan hesitated for two seconds, that girl was indeed so beautiful that it was unforgettable. Unexpectedly, even Cheng Zhi could not resist her light.
However, this is a prying corner, right
He asked, "What about the result of the confrontation?"
Facing his best brother, Cheng Zhi had no embarrassment to say, he sighed and told the truth, "I lost both times."
Jiang Nan was silent for a long time this time before saying, "Don't worry too much about it, anyway, in the hearts of brothers, you will always be the best."
Cheng Zhi snorted, his voice a little soft, "Thank you, brother."
As Cheng Zhi's iron brother for many years, Jiang Nan has never seen such a depressed side of Cheng Zhi
It seems that Cheng Che is really Cheng Zhi's lifelong rival.
Not only is his family background superior to Cheng Zhi's, but Cheng Zhi can't even get a girlfriend.
As a brother, Jiang Nan felt sorry for Cheng Zhi.
"This... you want to open yourself up a bit, so don't do stupid things!"
Cheng Zhi took a look at Jiangnan like a fool.
Jiang Nan hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Isn't this not afraid of ten thousand, just in case? I am also worried about you."
Cheng Zhi let out a long breath, "I know, brother."
Jiang Nan clenched his fist with one hand and tapped Cheng Zhi's shoulder lightly, "Don't be like this, brother, cheer up! The Cheng Zhi I know is not like this!"
Cheng Zhi closed his eyes and leaned against the tree trunk in the garden, and said softly, "A'nan, give me some more time."
Jiang Nan didn't know what to say.
The Fourth Young Master of the Cheng family, who has been going smoothly for more than 20 years and has never encountered any setbacks, met a strong enemy in life for the first time.
Cheng Zhi's reaction now is very calm.
If it were someone else, he would have been angry and in chaos.
Jiang Nan smiled, "Okay, I'll give you time to adjust yourself, but don't make me wait too long!"
Cheng Zhi opened his eyes and glanced at Jiangnan.
Jiang Nan smiled hippiely, "Brother, I'm still waiting for you to take me to pretend to fly, take me into a pile of women!"
The Jiang family belonged to the lower end of the upper class, and was completely different from the Cheng family.
The relationship between Jiangnan and Cheng Zhi is so strong, it can only be said that it is due to fate.
Cheng Zhi finally let out a laugh when he heard his brother's joking words, "It's fine if you get into a group of women, and you can still make a fortune with you."
Jiang Nan hurriedly said, "Then we've made a deal like this."
"good."
