Zhang Yuan already disliked Bai Yujiao. It was not because of his parents' arrangement, but because he had no interest in Bai Yujiao. Deep in his heart, he even despised this kind of woman.
Was it really that easy to enter the rich and powerful?
Relying on the friendship of the older generation to achieve meteoric success?
At this moment, not only did Bai Yujiao come, but she also brought a man with her, which made him even angrier. He felt that he had lost face.
When Linghu Zhu saw Xiao Zheng, a puzzled look appeared on her face. When he turned to look at Shang Yao again, he saw that she was shaking her head lightly with interest on her face.
He and Shang Yao had known each other for many years, so he could see through Shang Yao's intentions with a single glance. Smiling, he said, "It's my business that I'm good at drinking. If you don't drink, then you're not a good friend."
Shang Yao raised her cup and said: "Then let me toast you. Aren't we good friends? "
Linghu Zhu smiled bitterly, but he did not hesitate. He raised his cup and drank from it. One look and one could tell that it was a huge amount.
Zhang Yuan also drank a cup. But he heard Shang Yao tease him, "Young Master Zhang. I saw you looking over there. Is that beautiful lady your friend? "
After Shang Yao said that, Linghu Zhu also noticed that there was a beautiful woman sitting opposite Xiao Zheng.
Her looks were top-notch. And she was a little different from the young ladies present. There was a hint of heroism in her. Very pleasing to the eye. Very unique.
"Not bad." Linghu Zhu smiled. He patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder. "Aren't you going to introduce me?"
Zhang Yuan put on a smile on his face, but in his heart, he thought, This is not bad? Are you deliberately making fun of me?
In fact, Zhang Yuan only rejected Bai Yujiao from the bottom of his heart. He looked down on the other party from the bottom of his heart. Since he was wearing colored glasses, he naturally could not see Bai Yujiao's good points. He could only see the small, harmless flaws. If he looked at Bai Yujiao with a fair eye. Among the young ladies present, there weren't many whose overall qualities were better than Bai Yujiao's.
And this was under the premise that Bai Yujiao was only wearing an evening gown worth less than 10,000 yuan.
He had to match them better. It will only stand out more.
Shang Yao and Linghu Zhu, for example, had already acknowledged Bai Yujiao's appearance and temperament. Because they were not fair enough. Of course, it was also because in their opinion, how could someone who could sit together with Xiao Zheng be ordinary?
Hearing Linghu Zhu's words, Shang Yao rolled her eyes at him and said snappily, "He's Young Master Zhang's friend. Why did you run over and join in the fun? Come, have a drink with me. "
When Zhang Yuan saw that the two of them had no intention of disturbing him, he let out a sigh of relief.
He really didn't know how to explain if they really went together. Moreover, it wasn't a good time to act up.
Seeing the two of them leave quietly, he relaxed quite a bit. His expression gradually turned gloomy. He strode toward Bai Yujiao.
As Linghu Zhu watched Zhang Yuan walk away, he turned his head around and said with a bitter smile, "He won't get into trouble by going there, right?"
"What? Do you want to accompany him and get yourself into trouble?" Shang Yao glanced at Linghu Zhu. "Do you really have such a friendship with him?"
"Hah, a friendship of wine and meat." Linghu Zhu chuckled and took a sip of his wine.
"I've made it clear to you." Shang Yao's expression gradually turned serious. "If you want to gain a foothold in Yan Jin and convince your family. Apart from doing your job well, the most important thing is not to have a conflict with Xiao Zheng. "
Shang Yao seemed to be giving Linghu Zhu a heads-up.
Linghu Zhu rubbed his nose and joked, "I have no enmity with him. Why would I have a conflict with him?" "Besides, even though I'm far away in the northeast, I've heard about what he did in Yan Jin. I reckon only Chang Yishan would dare to offend someone like him. I don't have that kind of confidence. "
"It's not a matter of confidence." Shang Yao shook her head and said. "People like Xiao Zheng are too scary. Being his enemy is too scary. But he's very considerate as a friend. To tell you the truth, I became the heir of the Yan Family today. Apart from my own hard work and my father's support, my biggest trump card is Xiao Zheng's help. "
"Aren't you exaggerating?" Linghu Zhu was taken aback. Linghu Zhu said incredulously. "No matter how powerful Xiao Zheng is, he can't possibly influence the old man's decision, can he?"
Shang Yao faintly smiled and calmly said, "Yes. The old man won't listen to an outsider's opinion no matter how muddle-headed he is. But Xiao Zheng destroyed my eldest cousin, Yen Teng-kuei. He's gone and I'm the only one left in the Yan Family. Does the old man have any other choice if he doesn't hand the Yan Family over to me? "
Linghu Zhu gasped and said in disbelief, "Why haven't I heard you mention this before?"
"Who would want to tell others about this?" Shang Yao gave Linghu Zhu a sidelong glance. "You better behave yourself in front of him. I still want to repair my friendship with him, and you're going to ruin it. I won't forgive you. "
"Don't worry. I'll go and flatter him later, "Linghu Zhu said in a half-joking, half-serious manner. "How would I dare to offend someone that even you, Lady Shang, want to win over?"
"Glib tongue." Shang Yao glared at Linghu Zhu.
…
"He's here." Xiao Zheng smiled and reminded Bai Yujiao.
"Mm." Bai Yujiao tilted her head and forced a smile. It was not too touching, and even a little forced. But she managed to be polite.
"Bai Yujiao?" Zhang Yuan asked in a stiff manner.
He had no intention of leaving a good impression on Bai Yujiao.
"Mm. I am. "Bai Yujiao smiled and extended her arm.
This was basic courtesy. Bai Yujiao did her best to comply.
But after she extended her hand, Zhang Yuan had no intention of shaking her hand. He just gave her a sidelong glance and asked, "This is your friend?"
Bai Yujiao was angry, but she suppressed it and said, "Mm. My friend. He's called — "
"Nice to meet you, Young Master Zhang." Xiao Zheng interrupted Bai Yujiao and stood up with a smile. "I'm basking in your glory today. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to attend such a high-class party. "
"Mm." Zhang Yuan nodded lightly and said in a condescending manner. "Then do as you wish. I still have something to do. I'll go now. "
After that.
He didn't even have the intention to say another word to Bai Yujiao. He turned around and left.
He didn't question why Bai Yujiao brought a man.
He didn't care.
For this kind of woman, all he had to do was wave his hand and there would be a bunch of women coming to him.
Why. Did she bring a man to make me nervous? Or did she want to learn from the movies and make me jealous?
Childish. Low-class. What's wrong with her head!
After the meeting, he had fulfilled his parents' request. Zhang Yuan certainly wasn't interested in wasting time with her. He wasn't interested in probing Xiao Zheng's actual situation.
A man who hung out with a low-class woman like Bai Yujiao couldn't possibly be a good person.
This could be deduced from Xiao Zheng's words.
