The circle of wealthy and aristocratic families in King Chu City is neither big nor small.
And the younger generations of wealthy families also have their own circles.
For example, in the past, Yang Zixi was a child of the Yang family, the bottom of the wealthy family, and she had a good relationship with her. People like Zheng Qiuhe, the third daughter of the Zheng family, were also children of the bottom of the wealthy family.
Ren Jiapei's circle consists of children from mid-level wealthy families, which is a level higher than Yang Zixi's original circle.
"Sister Jiapei, the person beside you is Miss Zixi, right? It's true that it's better to meet her than to be famous. She is indeed a peerless beauty."
A young man in his twenties, dressed in green clothes, glanced at the girl next to Ren Jiapei in amazement, but quickly and consciously withdrew his gaze.
Although beautiful women are good, they are not within his reach.
This beautiful girl is the woman that Shi Yu, the eldest young master of the powerful Shi family, is interested in. This is not a secret in King Chu City.
"Um."
Ren Jiapei nodded, and then introduced him to the girl, "Sister Zixi, this is the second young master of the Hu family, Hu Qing."
The girl glanced at Hu Qing and nodded lightly, as a greeting. Her cold temperament was like the first bloom of a clear lotus, which invisibly kept people away from thousands of miles away.
"Who is this?"
At the same time, Hu Qing's eyes fell on the young man in white next to the two girls, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"He is my brother Zhou, not someone from our circle."
Ren Jiapei spoke with a hint of respect in his tone when he mentioned the words 'Brother Zhou'.
"Mr.Zhou?"
At the same time, Hu Qing discovered that when the girl next to Ren Jiapei looked at the boy named Zhou from time to time, the coldness in her eyes disappeared, replaced by watery tenderness, as if she was looking at her lover.
"Brother, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Hu Qing's eyes flashed and he asked Zhou Donghuang with a smile.
"Um?"
Zhou Donghuang was startled at first, then nodded lightly and walked aside, and Hu Qing followed.
"brother."
Hu Qing walked up to Zhou Donghuang and said straight to the point: "As far as I know... there is no family surnamed Zhou above the wealthy family in King Chu City, or even in Yunyang."
"I advise you, it's best to stay away from that Yang Zixi... That is the woman Shi Yu, the eldest young master of the powerful Shi family, is interested in. If he knows that Yang Zixi is in love with you, he will not let you go."
"Our Hu family and Ren family have been friends for generations. I regard Jiapei as my own sister. Since you are her friend, I need to remind you."
Hu Qing reminded.
"You let me take a step to speak, just to tell me this?"
Zhou Donghuang was startled at first, then smiled lightly, "Thank you for reminding me... But I don't care if Shi Yu lets me go."
Shi Yu
The eldest son of the Shi family, a powerful family
If he remembered correctly, Shi Yu's father, Shi Hao, had died in his hands three months ago.
At that time, the eighth-level Qi-gathering martial arts monk from the Shi family was also there. He saw him killing Shi Hao with his own eyes, and he didn't even dare to let go.
However, after hearing Hu Qing's words, Zhou Donghuang couldn't help but smile secretly...
Now, even a person who met him and Yang Zixi for the first time could tell that Yang Zixi was interested in him
"Brother, I have said everything that needs to be said... What you do next is your own business."
Hu Qing shook his head, feeling that the young man in front of him was ignorant.
In his opinion, for the sake of Ren Jiapei's face, he reminded the other party that he was doing the best he could.
The other party intended to seek death, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"If sister Jiapei hadn't had the Ren family behind her, her rash decision to take in Yang Zixi three months ago would have put her beyond redemption... But even so, the Ren family lost all opportunities to cooperate with the Shi family."
"This young man has no background and dares to flirt with Yang Zixi. He is simply asking for death!"
…
As time went by, the backyard of the Wei family's mansion, a gathering place for the descendants of the wealthy family, became more and more lively.
When Zhou Donghuang and the others arrived, there were only a few children from wealthy families present.
About half an hour later, more than a dozen wealthy and aristocratic families arrived.
Among them, there is also the daughter of a wealthy family who rejected Yang Zixi after she was expelled from the Yang family.
However, not every young lady from a wealthy family who was a sister to Yang Zixi in the past is like Zheng Qiuhe.
One or two people took the initiative to come up to Yang Zixi, apologize to her, and explain their difficulties at the same time.
Of course, more people, like Zheng Qiuhe, completely ignored Yang Zixi, as if they had never had any friendship with Yang Zixi.
If it were Yang Zixi in the past, she might have some turmoil in her heart.
However, three months later, her heart was extremely peaceful, because she had long forgotten these things and didn't care.
Whether those daughters from aristocratic families who loved her sisters in the past came forward to apologize or ignored her, it no longer mattered to her.
Now, all she cares about is the young man in white who is eating fruit in front of a long table filled with fruits not far away.
"Sister Jiapei, you are busy, I will go find Brother Zhou."
After saying hello to Ren Jiapei, the girl walked towards the young man standing not far away.
The boy who was originally transparent to others, as the girl walked over, his cold face broke out into a smile in time, and he suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.
"Who is that?"
"Just now, Yang Zixi had a cold face towards everyone except Ren Jiapei beside her... Now, in front of this young man, she actually smiled?"
"Who is this young man in white?"
"Do all the wealthy families in our Chu City have such a number one figure?"
…
The attention of a group of wealthy and aristocratic family members present all fell on Zhou Donghuang, and all of them were full of curiosity about Zhou Donghuang's identity.
However, they communicated with each other for a while, but no one recognized the young man in white.
The young man in white seemed to appear out of thin air.
"This Zhou Donghuang is going to be in trouble."
Seeing Yang Zixi approaching, making Zhou Donghuang the center of attention, Hu Qing, the second young master of the Hu family, shook his head and sighed.
In his opinion:
It's better that Zhou Donghuang doesn't attract attention.
Once it attracts attention, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for him.
"Brother Hu Qing, do you know him?"
A young man of about eighteen or nineteen who was talking to Hu Qing asked curiously when he saw Hu Qing looking at the young man in white and sighing.
"It's not really an acquaintance... However, he is Jiapei's friend. I just said a few words to him."
Hu Qing shook his head.
"What is his background? Looking at Yang Zixi's appearance, it is obvious that she is attracted to him..."
The young man asked while shaking his head, "If Shi Yu, the eldest young master of the Shi family, sees this scene, I'm afraid he will be furious, right?"
"His surname is Zhou, what's his origin?"
Hu Qing continued to shake his head.
"Mr.Zhou?"
The young man frowned slightly and racked his brains to think that there seemed to be no family named Zhou in Yunyang, from the royal family to the palaces of the major royal ridges, and even to the various big and wealthy families.
"You have no background, so close to Yang Zixi?"
When the young man looked at Zhou Donghuang again, he shook his head slightly, with a bit of pity in his eyes.
He has no background and is so close to Yang Zixi, who is regarded as a forbidden love by Shi Yu, the eldest young master of the Shi family. Isn't this looking for death
"Zixi, these apples are not bad... Do you want one?"
Zhou Donghuang gnawed on the apple in his hand as if there was no one around. While chewing the apple flesh, he asked the girl who came over with a smile.
"OK."
The girl's smile was as bright as a flower, as if she had completed the transformation from a cold goddess to the girl next door in an instant, and she stunned a group of children from wealthy families.
"Give."
Zhou Donghuang picked up an apple from the fruit plate on the table and handed it to the girl. The girl reached out and took it, chewing it slowly.
The style of painting seems to be frozen in this moment.
A holy girl dressed in white and a young boy dressed in white, standing face to face, both holding an apple in their hands and chewing on it.
The glances surrounding them seemed to be completely ignored by the two of them.
At this moment, it seemed like there were only two of them left in this world.
"Brother Wei, who is this young man?"
In a corner where the children of top wealthy families gathered, a handsome young man wearing a silver robe curiously asked the young man next to him.
The young man has a handsome appearance, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. He is dressed like a scholar in white and holds a folding fan in his hand. He has an elegant temperament.
And he is today's host, Wei Hongtao, the eldest son of the Wei family, a top wealthy family.
"do not know."
Facing the silver-robed boy's inquiry, Wei Hongtao stopped tapping the folding fan in his hand and shook his head.
"Don't know him? Then how did he get in?"
The young man in silver robe was stunned.
"I'll ask someone."
Soon, Wei Hongtao called the young man from the Wei family who was responsible for organizing today's party and learned from him that the young man in white came in with Ren Jiapei, the eldest daughter of the Ren family.
"Come with Ren Jiapei? Your surname is Zhou?"
The young man in silver robe raised his eyebrows, "It seems that he is not a child of a noble family... at least, not a child of a wealthy family or above."
After the words fell, his eyes lit up again, "Zhang Yongshan from the Zhang family rushed towards the young man... Usually, he likes to get close to Shi Yu, in front of him and behind the horse. Today, it seems that he wants to help Shi Yu stand out."
Under the watchful eyes of a group of children from wealthy families, a young man of about twenty years old and of medium build walked towards Zhou Donghuang.
"Boy, if you don't want to die, you'd better stay away from my sister-in-law."
The young man walked up to Zhou Donghuang, stared at him coldly, and threatened him coldly.
"sister in law?"
Zhou Donghuang was startled.
"She is my sister-in-law."
The young man looked at Zhou Donghuang and pointed at the girl in front of Zhou Donghuang.
"Zhang Yongshan, don't talk nonsense."
The smile on the girl's face disappeared and was covered with a layer of frost. Her autumn eyes turned cold as she stared at the young man.
