Chapter 23: Wishful Thinking
3rd Floor, Banquet Hall.
There were people standing here and there, gathering together to talk about recent topics.
When Xiao Yunfei and Xiao Ru'er came in together, they instantly attracted everyone's attention, and as they walked, they could even faintly hear whispered discussions.
She is the little princess of the Xiao family, and it is said that she has an excellent relationship with Prince Wen Huan, and maybe, the two can really come together in the end. ”
"I don't think so, I guess Gongzi Wen Huan sees her as his sister at most. ”
"Who is that man next to her? Could it be the illegitimate son of the Xiao family who recently returned from overseas?"
"It should be, how else would it appear with the princess of the Xiao family?"
"Recently, he has been very popular and has shown inhuman abilities, and I am afraid that soon the entire Xiao family will completely fall into his hands. ”
“…………”
Obviously, what happened in Jianghai City recently has caused great repercussions, and these young generations are very concerned.
Actually, this is also very normal.
Bai Chenhao is one of the four sons, he was suddenly injured and hospitalized, even if he deliberately concealed the news, it would not have much effect.
Not to mention, the Bai family has made concessions everywhere, completely losing the strong attitude they used to have towards the Xiao family, and even such an important industry as the Dragon City Martial Arts Hall has been transferred, how can the Xiao family not be in the limelight?
Xiao Yunfei, as the main person in charge, naturally attracted much attention.
Along the way, Xiao Yunfei directly ignored the discussions of these people, maybe they all have a strong background, but overall, they will not be taken seriously.
On the contrary, it was Xiao Ru'er, who had already smiled when she heard these discussions.
This undoubtedly proves that the Xiao family has gradually moved towards the road of re-emergence.
In the past, she often participated in various banquets, but where would she hear other people's discussions about the Xiao family?
Even if there is, it is still discussing when the Xiao family will completely decline.
Now, such a change is definitely a good thing for the Xiao family.
A moment later, the siblings had already taken their seats in the empty seats on the left side of the banquet hall, and were greeted by a waiter with a drink.
One of them was holding a glass of wine, and just took a sip, and before he could say anything, a young man was already smiling and greeted the two: "Ru'er, this is your brother?"
That tone, that look, is obviously very familiar with Xiao Ru'er's relationship.
"Yes. ”
Xiao Ru'er's face was free, and she responded affirmatively: "Brother, his name is Zhao Xing, he is my best friend and best friend, and he usually takes very good care of me at school." ”
"Thank you, brother. Xiao Yunfei's eyes narrowed slightly, raised his wine glass, and thanked Zhao Xing.
In this society, between men and women, there is that kind of innocence, saying that it is a girlfriend, I am afraid that Zhao Xing still has certain ideas about Xiao Ruer.
But no matter what, when the Xiao family was weak, Zhao Xing still didn't have any changes, which is enough to prove that at least he didn't have any bad intentions for Xiao Ru'er.
"Brother Yunfei, you are polite, Ru'er is such a lovely sister, no one wants to bully, it is my honor to be her friend. Zhao Xing gently raised his wine glass, took a sip, and replied with a lovely attitude.
As a child of the Zhao family, he has received a good education since he was a child.
Not to mention that the relationship with Xiao Ruer is so good, even if there is no such relationship, in the face of Xiao Yunfei, he will intersect with all his heart.
After all, since Xiao Yunfei returned, several things he has done have caused a great shock, allowing the Xiao family to suppress the Bai family again and have a great right to speak.
What's more, it has caused some inevitable impacts on the pattern of Jianghai City.
Such a character will really rise sooner or later, not to mention, there is a deep heritage of the Xiao family behind it?
"No matter what, your care for Ru'er has reduced her a lot of trouble, this is a favor I owe you a favor, when you need my help, as long as it is within your ability, you will never refuse. Xiao Yunfei's face was calm and he made a promise.
This is also done to solve future problems.
Zhao Xing's attitude towards Xiao Ruer can only represent himself, not the Zhao family behind him, let alone the Zhao family's attitude towards the Xiao family.
What if the Zhao family also has other thoughts about the Xiao family?
Therefore, Zhao Xing's kindness to Xiao Ruer can be avoided by completely resolving it, and when the time comes, it will cause unnecessary trouble because of too much involvement in this matter.
As for Zhao Xing's true thoughts about Xiao Ru'er in his heart, before the situation is clear, Xiao Yunfei will definitely stop it.
Even in the future, the Zhao family has shown a certain amount of goodwill, if the two want to come together, it depends on Xiao Ruer's own attitude, if she is unwilling, Xiao Yunfei will not let Xiao Ruer suffer the slightest grievance.
What's more, from the tone introduced by Xiao Ru'er just now, I can also feel that at most, he regards Zhao Xing as his friend, and there is no other mind mixed in at all.
"Good. ”
Facing Xiao Yunfei's promise, Zhao Xing didn't feel anything, but nodded lightly and said with a little envy: "Ru'er is really lucky to have a brother like you. ”
"Don't be emotional, isn't Brother Hua treating you badly?" Xiao Ru'er didn't give face at all, and directly dismantled the stage.
"Hey, hey. ”
Zhao Xing smiled awkwardly, with a hint of curiosity, and looked at Xiao Yunfei: "Brother Yunfei, it is rumored that you once defeated Bai Chenhao in one move, is this true?"
There have been too many rumors about Xiao Yunfei recently, and they can't be confirmed at all.
If it weren't for Bai Chenhao really being admitted to the hospital, I'm afraid that just such news would have been seriously questioned.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Bai family will not let such news be confirmed at all, otherwise, the impact on the Bai family will be even more serious.
As for the Xiao family, they did not deliberately spread such news.
"Of course it's true, how can my brother's strength be compared to him?" Before Xiao Yunfei could speak, Xiao Ru'er next to him had already given a positive answer.
Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, many of the children of the Xiao family had witnessed it with their own eyes, and during this time, it caused a great shock, and the entire Xiao family, because of this incident, was twisted into a rope, and the morale changed greatly.
"It seems that it is not far off for Brother Yun Fei to replace Bai Chenhao and become one of the four sons. Zhao Xing's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he took the initiative to show favor to Xiao Yunfei: "Brother Yunfei, you have to take care of me more in the future." ”
"Well said. ”
Xiao Yunfei was still very indifferent, nodded slightly, and agreed.
"Brother, Brother Wenhuan is here, I'll take you over to get to know each other. Suddenly, a bright light flashed in Xiao Ru'er's eyes, she put down the wine glass in her hand, and shouted at Xiao Yunfei, with a hint of different emotions in her tone.
Hearing Xiao Ru'er's words, Zhao Xing and Xiao Yunfei's eyes immediately looked in the direction of the entrance of the banquet hall.
A well-dressed young man with a handsome face walked in with a smile.
The slightly deep gaze adds to the temperament of youth.
"Well, I'd like to get to know him too. Xiao Yunfei's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he agreed without hesitation.
"Xingzai, you wait by yourself first. ”
Xiao Ru'er said to Zhao Xing, then pulled Xiao Yunfei and greeted the young man.
Looking at the backs of the two brothers and sisters, a touch of helplessness and gloom flashed in Zhao Xing's eyes, Xiao Ruer's attitude has always been very obvious.
And he, compared to Jiang Wenhuan, does have a huge gap.
In school, Jiang Wenhuan is a god-like existence, and he usually has the attitude of being close to each other, and only Xiao Ruer can walk into the other party's side.
It is precisely because of this that he completely hid the real thoughts in his heart and became real best friends with Xiao Ruer.
But it's still hard to ask him to give up like that.
Even if he knows that he is wishful thinking, he still holds the idea of getting the moon first near the water, perhaps, when will he be able to touch Xiao Ruer's heart?
"Brother Wen Huan. As soon as she caught up, Xiao Ru'er was already excited.
"It's Ru'er, there is no news from you during this time, I thought you had forgotten my brother. When he saw Xiao Ru'er, Jiang Wenhuan's face instantly showed a touch of warmth and joked.
"Oh, it's just that my brother has come back and has been staying home all this time. As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Xiao Yunfei beside him.
Hearing this, Jiang Wenhuan's gaze naturally fell on Xiao Yunfei: "Presumably this is Brother Yunfei, during this time, you have been in the limelight, and even the Bai family has to back down, it seems that the rise of the Xiao family is an inevitable fact." ”
"Brother Jiang has a good reputation. ”
Xiao Yunfei smiled indifferently, his face was calm, and he was not affected in the slightest: "I also want to thank you for taking care of Ru'er all the time." ”
"She is also my sister and the care is as it should be. Jiang Wenhuan shook his head slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Xiao Yunfei's thanks, and immediately changed the topic and said: "Brother Yunfei, take some time, let's have a good chat, maybe, we can reach a certain cooperation?"
"No problem, it's all a trivial matter, when the banquet is over, let's go out and sit alone?" Xiao Yunfei was slightly surprised, and instantly understood what Jiang Wenhuan meant.
In fact, even if Jiang Wenhuan didn't take the initiative to mention it, Xiao Yunfei would do it.
In Jianghai City, it is necessary to win over certain allies, and only then can there be a certain amount of help for the future of the Xiao family.
Although Jiang Wenhuan was only born ordinarily, his current status in Jianghai City still has the absolute qualifications to cooperate with the Xiao family.
What's more, Xiao Yunfei only values ability, not background, and he also wants to try to have enough understanding of the other party through chatting with Jiang Wenhuan.
With Xiao Ruer's relationship, it should not be too difficult for the two to reach cooperation.
Otherwise, Jiang Wenhuan would not have shown such a sincere attitude when they met just now.
