Sunday morning.

The Nanshan villa area where the Zhou family is located.

Xue Chunlan's birthday party was held in her villa. As in previous years, in addition to relatives and friends, Xue Chunlan and his wife also invited celebrities from all walks of life in the city to participate in the buffet. This is actually an important channel for the Zhou family and the Zhou family's Bluestar Group to expand their social relationships.

Doing business in the country, without official support and the foreshadowing of various social relations, is almost impossible to move an inch.

Of course, due to environmental restrictions, Xue Chunlan and his wife controlled the number of invited VIPs to less than 30 people, which further shows that none of the people attending the meeting today are not heavyweights.

A number of different models of luxury cars galloped to the parking lot outside the Zhou family villa in accordance with the command of the security guards of the Blue Star Group parked neatly, a well-dressed big man with a reserved smile, under the guidance of the staff into the Zhou family villa in turn, Xue Chunlan and his wife dressed up to greet at the door.

Xue Chunlan smiled elegantly, chatting with the guests while searching for her daughter's traces. When she saw her daughter Zhou Bing holding a tall young man's hand and slowly walking into the courtyard, the elegant smile on her face disappeared instantly.

She was a little annoyed.

She felt that her daughter was too ignorant, what was the occasion today? It didn't matter if she had a birthday, but it was about the Zhou family's business to a higher level, and she attached great importance to it. But her daughter actually brought the poor boy, although Xue Chunlan opened a job before and set a target condition for Guo Yang to earn one million a year, but this does not mean that Xue Chunlan has accepted Guo Yang.

On such an occasion, once this little guy from a humble background who doesn't know anything makes a fool of himself, he will not only lose his personal face, but also the image of the Zhou family and his wife.

Xue Chunlan lowered her voice and rebuked angrily: "Xiaoice, what's the matter with you? Who let him come?"

"Mom, you have a birthday, and Yangyang should also come to celebrate your birthday. Zhou Bing smiled slightly, she had long known that her mother would be angry, and she was mentally prepared to bear her mother's anger, but on this occasion, with her understanding of her mother, Xue Chunlan would not show it in public even if she was angry. Therefore, today is the best time for her to introduce Guo Yang and force her mother to publicly admit the relationship between the two.

As for Xue Chunlan's so-called condition of earning one million a year, Zhou Bing didn't take it seriously from the beginning. She knew that this was her mother deliberately embarrassing Guo Yang, and she didn't have any sincerity at all.

"Hello Auntie!" Guo Yang smiled and bowed.

The corner of Xue Chunlan's mouth twitched: "Xiaoice, don't mess around! Hurry up and let him go, and talk about it later!"

Zhou Bing pouted and looked at his mother with a firm expression, his voice was soft but there was no hesitation: "Mom, if you don't let Yangyang participate, I won't participate either!"

Xue Chunlan was furious and stomped her feet, "You! you kid is so willful!"

Zhou Bing stared at his mother, his eyes were clear, and he did not give in at all.

Zhou Dingnan sighed secretly on the side, pulled his wife's clothes, and said in a low voice: "Chunlan, forget it, there are not many more of him, let him go in and have a long experience!"

Xue Chunlan bit her lip, suppressed her anger, and turned her back. She is wearing a light blue cheongsam with a very cinched waist today, and her long black hair is tied into a bun, and her whole person looks noble and charming.

Zhou Dingnan glanced at his daughter and motioned for the two to hurry in. Guo Yang smiled at Zhou Dingnan, glanced at Xue Chunlan's plump and slender back, and followed Zhou Bing into the Zhou family's villa with a complicated mood. At this moment, he secretly made up his mind that he must obtain the approval of the Zhou family and his wife in the shortest possible time, and he could not let Zhou Bing and his parents continue to be so stubborn.

The VIPs who attended the meeting sat around a long table temporarily placed in the middle of the Zhou family's large living room, and Zhou Bing accompanied Guo Yang to stand in a corner, quietly introducing the origins and names of these big people to him. In fact, there is no need for Zhou Bing to introduce him, most of Guo Yang is familiar with it. These people were all his guests later, and they socialized more.

One of the most distinguished guests is none other than Vice Mayor Song, who is in charge of industry and commerce.

Sitting next to Vice Mayor Song was a mature young man wearing a light gray silk shirt who was a few years older than Guo Yang, and Zhou Bing introduced Guo Yang once. This person's surname is Meng Tianxiang, and he is a proud protégé that Xue Chunlan admires very much, and he has graduated from college for three years.

Meng Tianxiang's family is good, and his father is a deputy department-level cadre in the province. But what Xue Chunlan appreciates is not only Meng's background, but his personal qualities. After graduating from university, he went to the sea to do business, and in two or three years, he had his own cultural industry company, and it is said that his assets have reached millions.

Xue Chunlan has always wanted to introduce Meng Tianxiang to her daughter, which is her ideal son-in-law. I specially invited Meng Tianxiang to come over today, just to deepen the connection between my daughter and Meng. She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her doing this, but she felt that it was normal, she agreed to give Guo Yang a chance, but she didn't say that she would let her daughter give up the entire forest because of Guo Yang, a small sapling with an uncertain future.

For Meng Tianxiang, when he was in college, he often came to Zhou's house as a guest and fell in love with Zhou Bing at first sight. It's just that Zhou Bing has been deliberately estranged from him, and despite Teacher Xue's encouragement and support, he still hasn't achieved his goal.

Regarding his thoughts, Father Meng was acquiescing.

Although the Zhou family has no power, it is better to be rich. And what makes Father Meng value is not only the wealth of the Zhou family, but also the maiden family behind Xue Chunlan. If Meng Tianxiang marries the daughter of the Zhou family, he will definitely be a good man and have his own place for the combination of interests.

To put it bluntly, Meng Tianxiang came to Zhou Bing this time.

Although Meng Tianxiang sat there and greeted the distinguished guests around him gently, the corner of his eye kept patrolling back and forth with Zhou Bing, who was whispering to Guo Yang in the corner, and he felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw that the goddess he admired had been talking softly to a strange young man.

He still couldn't help but get up and come over, and took the initiative to greet Zhou Bing with a smile: "Xiaoice, when did you come back from the United States, why don't you tell me, I'll pick you up at the airport!"

Zhou Bing smiled, "Brother Meng, I've been back for a few days - by the way, Brother Meng, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend Guo Yang - Yangyang, this is Brother Meng, my mother's protégé!"

Guo Yang actually knew about Meng Tianxiang's existence, but he just couldn't match the number. On the other hand, the name Guo Yang is not unfamiliar to Meng Tianxiang. Last year, Guo Yang and the Zhou family had a very unhappy quarrel, broke up unhappily and proposed to break up with Zhou Bing, Meng Tianxiang also heard Xue Chunlan mention it a few times, but Meng Tianxiang didn't expect that a year later, he didn't have time to start, and the two were reunited.

Guo Yang also smiled and took the initiative to stretch out his hand: "Hello, Mr. Meng!"

Meng Tianxiang had a warm smile on his face, Zhou Bing's extremely affectionate name to Guo Yang made him feel like he had been hit hard, he reached out and shook Guo Yang, and said lightly: "Guo Yang, right? Xiaoice classmate? I heard Teacher Xue say it, it seems to be ......."

Meng Tianxiang deliberately wanted to speak and stopped.

The corners of Guo Yang's mouth twitched, knowing what Meng Tianxiang wanted to say, but he was indifferent. Zhou Bing is so good, with both good looks and appearance, a typical white rich beauty, the so-called fair lady and gentleman, it is normal to have admirers and suitors around him, but that's all. Zhou Bing is in love with him, it is impossible to empathize with him, in Guo Yang's eyes, Meng Tianxiang is actually not even a rival in love.

Meng Tianxiang saw that Guo Yang's expression was calm and a little indifferent, so he was even more disdainful in his heart, and said in his heart, You are a poor boy with nothing, a lowly and humble phoenix man, what qualifications do you have to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix? Can you be worthy of Zhou Bing? Today, on such an occasion as the Zhou family, you are purely boring to ask for yourself!

Xue Chunlan glanced over here, and saw that Meng Tianxiang was talking to her daughter and Guo Yang, her brows frowned, and she immediately waved her hand and greeted warmly: "Xiaoice, Xiao Meng, you come and sit here." ”

Xue Chunlan deliberately only called Zhou Bing and Meng Tianxiang, ignoring Guo Yang's existence. A hint of schadenfreude immediately appeared on Meng Tianxiang's face, but he concealed it very well, and instantly became gentle and elegant, and he bowed to Zhou Bing gracefully and gave a Westerner invitation: "Xiaoice, go, let's go over and say hello to the elders!"

The mother's rudeness and indifference to her lover deeply stung Zhou Bing. She shook her head, ignoring Meng Tianxiang, a deep stubbornness appeared on her beautiful face, she approached Guo Yang, held Guo Yang's hand tightly, and threw an apologetic glance at Guo Yang.

Guo Yang sighed lightly in his heart, knowing that the development of the situation was even worse than he expected. If this situation does not change, it will be a matter of time before Zhou Bing tears his face for himself and his parents. He was touched by his lover's resoluteness and bravery, but it was not the result he wanted to see.

Meng Tianxiang froze there in embarrassment, and only after a moment did he cough twice to clear his throat and walk over, but there was still a hint of ruthlessness in his still elegant expression.
