Chapter 7: The Dinner
Suits and leather shoes, coordinated and staggered, if it weren't for the occasional panic in the eyes of the photographer, I'm afraid no one would know that this was a large-scale circle gathering. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On the third day of the eighth month of August, the day when the bigwigs gathered, known as the "dragon gathering", it is said to be a close relationship between the major families, in fact, everyone knows that this is a moment to test each other's family background, and every time after the "dragon gathering", some families will disappear from the world and become a sinking stone in history.
On August 3 of this year, it was more lively than in previous years, and some large families who rarely participated in it also arrived thousands of miles away, with only one purpose - the Chu family, considering security factors, the party has always been held in the northwest region, and as the first family in the northwest, the Chu family has always been one of the main roles, and it is simply dominant, but now that the Chu family is dead, who else is qualified to participate in this party on behalf of the Chu family?
Even if there is a person, let alone someone who has never seen it, even if it is the four leaders who are familiar with Chu Ran, other families will not buy it, although the power of these leaders is comparable to some small and medium-sized families, you must know that although there are many unsightly tricks on the road, they still look down on these slaves and ungrateful people the most.
Everyone had a peaceful atmosphere on the surface, but their actual eyes looked at the door from time to time, looking forward to the appearance of the representative of the Chu family, but an hour passed, and even the great family in North China arrived, but the Chu family was never seen.
"Hey...... I'm afraid the Chu family won't be able to keep it this time."
In the corner of the banquet, a middle-aged man looked at the door with melancholy eyes and sighed, and he was afraid that he was the only one who felt sad for the Chu family.
"Daddy?" Next to the middle-aged man, a small boy with a cold expression looked over, he was wearing a small black dress, and he looked even more petite and cute.
"Xiao Fei, if your grandfather hadn't had the help of the Chu family back then, the Mo family would have been gone a long time ago, let alone me in this world."
"But you never mentioned it to me."
"We really want to repay, but the head of the Chu family back then said that the Mo family is not a family on the road, and there is no need to be involved in the grievances and grievances in the circle, and Chu Ran also didn't ask us for anything, and he didn't want us to mention these things......"
“…… The head of the Chu family is a good person."
"The Chu family has been a lone seedling for generations, and they are all good people, but it's a pity that this generation has produced that bastard of Chu Shili!"
The middle-aged man drank the red wine in the cup hatefully, and was furious, only blaming himself for not being able to help the Chu family, the Mo family was not a person in the circle, and this is said to be a gathering in the circle, but in fact, it is not all insiders, but most of the authoritative families led by the circle, including regional managers, businessmen, entertainment circles, and so on.
The Mo family, there is really nothing that can repay the Chu family, and even the death of the Chu family was only known from the mouth of the person who sent the invitation letter a few days before attending the banquet, and the shock at that time could not be expressed at all, in the eyes of him, a person who smeared both eyes in the circle, the Chu family's dominant position was simply unshakable, who knew that it would fall to this extent in less than a year.
Everyone here looked to him like a hungry wild dog, waiting to tear the Chu family's flesh to pieces, but he could only watch silently, unable to do anything......
"Guest: Chu Shiyu, the head of the Chu family—"
In an instant, there was a minute-blank period for the dinner party, and the bigwigs who had gone through countless ups and downs felt a little stunned, only the sound of champagne flowing in the huge villa, and all eyes were fixed on the two people at the gate.
Tonight's Chu Shiyu has lost a lot of weight compared to three years ago, before he had a healthy figure comparable to a model, and the muscles hidden under the suit made people feel infinite vitality just like himself, like a wild wolf, and wherever he went, it was an existence that people could never ignore.
Now he is thin, and his black hair, which has always been as flamboyant as his master, hangs obediently on his ears, and is extremely long over his shoulders, making Chu Shiyu's whole person thinner, and the most shocking thing is his current posture: he was rampantly pushed by Wei Shi in a wheelchair......
"Chu ...... Shiyu? ”
The host of this banquet, Chen Ye, the eldest young man of the Chen family, stepped in front of Chu Shiyu in two or three steps, and looked at the young man in the wheelchair with some surprise.
"At the invitation of 'Chen's Enterprise', the twenty-seventh generation head of the Chu family, Chu Shiyu, came to report."
Just by opening his mouth, it was completely different from three years ago, how could Chu Shao at that time have the leisure to take care of anyone? No one can get a look or a face in front of him, I haven't seen him for three years, the originally lofty aristocratic tone has become peaceful and docile, and those eyes are even calmer than a little ripple, and the indigo blue suit that once seemed extremely flamboyant on him at this time has made him a taste of indisputability.
"You're the head of the house now? Why didn't I get noticed?! ”
Chen Dashao didn't care about these things, he frowned and looked at Chu Shiyu's pale face now, how he looked and how annoyed.
"I think that the internal affairs of the Chu family do not need to be notified to outsiders."
Saying that, he was pushed into the hall, and at this time people noticed that there was a wheelchair pushing Wei Shirant behind him, saying that the Wei family's seizure of power back then was also full of turmoil, and Wei Shirant was also quite famous after that, his life was saved by Chu Shiyu, and it is not strange to follow him now.
"You...... Chu Shiyu! You are less arrogant in front of me, in the past, the Chen family sent you to the Chu family, and I put up with you, but now you are still playing with me, do you think you are still the original Chu Dashao? ! ”
Chen Ye, as the only son in the family, grew up in a variety of favors like Chu Shili, and he is definitely the second generation of Lun Kuohei who is used to growing up, and no one will give face when his temper comes, the Chen family has a big business, and in this northwest region, except for the Chu family, no one can compare, he used to be afraid of the family and did not dare to worry about Chu Shiyu, but now he has no worries.
"Huh...... The Chu family is not dead yet, so someone can't wait to come out and try the knife? Chu Shiyu turned around calmly, and his obsidian eyes looked at Chen Ye coldly, "A little heir dares to climb on the head of the head of the Chu family to spread wildness, who gave you the guts?!" ”
Slammed on the armrest, and the screeching metal sound from the wheelchair made the hearts of everyone present tremble, and they couldn't help but think of his previous methods, yes, I thought that the Chu family was dead, so they dared to be so arrogant.
Now Chu Shiyu is really sitting in front of him, it seems that it is not known whether the Chu family will be pulled off the horse, at this time, just wait and see if it will get better, whether Chu Shiyu can turn the tide, and then he will know, no one wants to be the first person to flirt with the tiger's beard.
Chen Ye was also shocked by this shot and broke out in a cold sweat, he was really dizzy and ran to hit Chu Shao's bad luck, thinking about the losses he had suffered at his hands before, he didn't dare to say anything for a while, and he felt that it was too embarrassing to retreat like this, and he was in a dilemma, and his face was embarrassed.
Fortunately, Chu Shiyu was not in the mood to deal with him, so he and Wei Shiyan found a small corner to nest and no longer pay attention to the banquet.
"Shiyu, what are you going to do next?"
Wei Shiyan was dressed in a white suit, looking more heroic, but the occasional uneasiness in his eyes still couldn't hide from Chu Shiyu's eyes.
"The Chu family will always be the Chu family, and no one can let it change its name and surname."
Knowing that he was not asking about this, Chu Shiyu still deliberately misunderstood, he knew that Wei Shi was uneasy about his previous weakness and his opinion of him, but he didn't want to talk about this topic, he was afraid that he would be unable to hold back his resentment, complain, and ...... I want to kill the only person who supports me.
"You...... Won't you come with me to the Wei family? ”
“……”
Wei Shiyi, what do you think of me Chu Shiyu? Like you, do you only know how to escape, and can abandon anything in order to survive? In the past, the Chu family had a father and a Chu Shici, and he could endure any insults they gave, but now, he would never compromise with anyone.
Since Chu Shiyu was sensible, Chu Ran often said to him: Even if one day, the decay becomes irreversible, the Chu family will perish in the most glorious posture, and the glory of the family cannot be tarnished!
Therefore, no matter how many heads of the Chu family have changed and how many family emblems they have, the kapok logo that surrounds them will never change, and that is the eternal belief of the Chu family - "glory".
"No, I'm not going anywhere."
Was it because I was too protective of you before, blinding myself to the unbearable weakness of your unruly appearance, or was I too arrogant at that time to ignore your "small shortcomings" and let them develop......
Wei Shiyan was about to say something, but was interrupted by the boy who suddenly approached.
"Your grandpa saved my grandpa"
“……????” As powerful as Chu Shiyu, he was also inexplicably smashed by the words of the person in front of him.
"So, it's a friend."
The boy tilted his head slightly, showing a little natural look, his black round eyes were wide open, and the black hair hanging down his shoulders was even more supple and abnormal, and with the boy's movements swinging, Chu Shiyu, as a senior brother, was immediately captured.
"Haha, little brother, how old are you?"
"Seventeen, can't be friends?"
A touch of grievance flashed in his big eyes, and the cute Chu Shao had a bloody face.
"Of course you can, my name is Chu Shiyu, you can call me Brother Chu."
Trying to maintain his apparent calmness, the villain in his heart has already touched the top of the boy's head with his hand over and over again, and rolled on the ground in various ways: Ahhh
"Mo Fei"
"Mo Fei, are you Uncle Mo's son?"
"Yes"
"I didn't think Uncle Mo could have such a lovely son, I thought ...... cough cough: "I thought I was like Uncle Mo and didn't let go of the medical book every day."
“?”
"Nothing, isn't it, what about your father?"
"I'm sorry, when I met an acquaintance and chatted a few words, I asked Mo Fei to come to you first, he didn't trouble Chu Shao, right?"
"How so?"
Chu Shiyu smiled faintly, the middle-aged man in front of him was Mo Chi, the head of the Mo family, with gold-rimmed glasses, his hair combed back mentally, and wearing a white coat was the perfect doctor in the hearts of all girls.
"Chu Shao......"
Looking at Chu Shiyu's smile, he was even more worried, although Chu Shiyu's attitude towards himself was also very soft in the past, but he would never laugh like now, this kind of posture that has been plucked out of his body and can only face the world with the most gentle inside.
"Uncle Mo, it's okay, such a result has been doomed since the Chu family decided to embark on this road" Chu Shiyu picked up the goblet on the table and gently shook the pure red wine in the cup, "To say something unpleasant, how many people on the road have been able to die well?" ”
"But, the Chu family is different!"
"Uncle Mo, every family is the same, it's just that you are lucky enough to come into contact with a few good sides, after today, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful, Uncle Mo, you ...... ...... later. I don't use it for the Chu family anymore. ”
The hand that had been wearing gloves touched Mo Fei's head, Wei Shi rampantly pushed him out of the banquet, from entering to leaving, Chu Shiyu stayed back and forth for less than ten minutes, and the people present naturally did not have anyone to accuse him of rudeness, they were all busy weighing the pros and cons.
Leaving only Mo Chi, who was shocked by Chu Shiyu's last words, he left in a daze, his body trembled uncontrollably, Mo Chi, who lived in an ordinary world, really couldn't face the fact that his good friend's son would die.
Looking around at the indifferent and snobbish eyes of everyone around, recalling the former Chu Shiyu's treatment like the moon by the stars, Mo Chi really realized that in this circle, it is a terrible thing to have no power, human life is just a weight to measure gold bars in their eyes, and weightlessness can only lead to the fate of being abandoned......
Mo Fei looked at the straight back of the wheelchair, raised his right hand and touched the position of the heart, and waited for another five months, just five months......
"Shiyu, why are you saying that kind of thing?"
"I'm just reminding Uncle Mo not to fall into something that doesn't belong to him"
"But, your tone ......"
"Gives everyone unlimited room for reverie, doesn't it?"
"Shiyu, you did it on purpose?! Why? In this way, the Chu family will be besieged! ”
"What's useless, what's the point of keeping it?"
His pupils contracted suddenly, and a gust of evening wind blew, but the wind that had made Wei Shiyi feel extremely cool made him sweat coldly, and vaguely, he seemed to realize that Chu Shiyu was preparing a situation that would reverse the fate of countless families......
