Chapter 129: Cocktail Party (Part II)
After Xiao Junling and the three of them entered the hall, they immediately attracted the attention of many young men and women nearby, and many of them came over to say hello, with sincere or hypocritical smiles on their faces, and their attitudes were all extremely eager! As for what they have in mind, it is unknown.
It was only at this time that he understood how popular the two stunning sisters of the Zhou family were in the circle of wealthy families in the imperial capital, and after more than ten minutes of effort, there were nearly 100 men and women who came to talk to him, and most of the eyes of everyone looking at him were full of scrutiny, curiosity, and inquiry, as if they didn't understand how such a strange and beautiful young man could walk with the two princesses of the Zhou family, and his speech and demeanor were still very intimate.
Soon, some sharp-eyed people recognized the ring on the middle finger of the young man's left hand, which turned out to be the same style as the ring on the hand of the princess of the Zhou family! And what's even more incredible is that both sisters wear the same ring on their hands! What does this mean?
Suddenly, everyone's eyes looking at Xiao Junling became more and more confused. There were more and more private discussions, and they spread to ten, ten, hundreds, so that almost half of the people in the hall were attracted to attention.
"There's too many people here, let's go over there!" Zhou Meng realized that something was wrong with the situation and pulled him towards another exit in the hall.
Xiao Junling looked at the complex and changeable gazes cast around him, he already had a premonition in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and still asked, "What kind of party is this, can you tell me the truth?" ”
Zhou Yun blinked his eyes and said in surprise: "You still don't know the way?" So what else are you doing here? ”
“…… Dizzy, didn't you pull me over? How did it become that I was coming? Xiao Junling couldn't help but be speechless.
Zhou Meng thought for a while, and finally said: "It's nothing to tell you, this kind of gathering is held every year, and it is specially organized by the wealthy families of the imperial capital for the children of the younger generation, mainly to provide an opportunity for them to get to know each other and get acquainted with each other, so as to facilitate their future career development......"
To put it bluntly, this is a kind of communication platform, a friendship between the children of wealthy families, due to the relationship between the family, the future of these Tianhuang nobles is mostly like flowers, far from being comparable to the ordinary people of those empires!
This kind of grand event is to allow them to find a circle that suits them, friends with similar temperaments, and support each other and develop together on the road of life in the future. When these young talents grow up and begin to take over the family power from the elders, this friendship formed by long-term interaction and cooperation will rise to the family level and become a bond between the families to protect each other's interests.
In the eyes of others, this is just a drinking party, where everyone drinks together, chats, and connects with feelings. But behind the laughter and cups, there are also a lot of overt or covert schemes and schemes, various hidden interest exchanges emerge in an endless stream, and some specific exchanges and encounters may even affect the major decisions of one or several high-level big families.
For example, if a certain son from a wealthy family and a daughter of the same extraordinary background meet and spark on such an occasion, and there is no objection from the top of the two families, then the combination of the two sides means that the two families will work together for decades to come.
Therefore, this place is also a place for the children of wealthy families to secretly find their favorite partners, and they can find an object that they are as satisfied with as possible without violating the interests of the family, which is the most important thing in the hearts of many sons and daughters!
After all, no one wants to be used as a bargaining chip by the family, and give it to a man or woman who has never even met a few times! Whenever there is a chance, they or they still have to work hard for their lifelong happiness.
"In other words......" Xiao Junling looked at the ring on his hand, sighed lightly and said:
"I'm an 'enemy of the people' now, right? Those young talents who admired you probably hate me to death now! ”
With the conditions of these stunning twin sisters, they are definitely the ideal partner candidates for the children of countless wealthy families in the imperial capital, and they are veritable dream goddesses! On weekdays, I don't know how many sons and daughters want to laugh at Bo Jiaren, but now this pair of fairy-like beauties have been given a head start by a little-known poor boy, to say that no one hates him, it is simply incredible!
Zhou Meng said a little apprehensively: "Are you angry?" ”
My sister's attitude is simple and direct: "If you're afraid of trouble, then take it off!" We won't embarrass you! ”
Having said that, her left hand, which was hidden behind her, was involuntarily clenched, and her knuckles were a little pale from excessive exertion, indicating that her inner emotions were by no means as relaxed as they seemed.
After being silent for a few seconds, Xiao Junling smiled casually: "Isn't it good to wear it like this?" Why do you want to take it off? Many people would like me to do this, but I won't let them do it! ”
The sisters didn't need to say much about his intentions, and although they occasionally used small means, as long as they didn't involve matters of principle, he naturally didn't take it to heart. As a man, how can you not even have this kind of heart?
And this kind of approach, it is said that they are under more pressure from the outside world, but for him, the sisters still did it without hesitation. How could he not have some responsibility?
Zhou Meng breathed a sigh of relief, looked at him more and more gently, and said softly: "Let's go upstairs and find a place to sit, it's too noisy here!" ”
Xiao Junling naturally had no opinion, and the three of them went up the stairs not far away to the second floor, which was all independent luxury compartments, separated by translucent ink sand crystal glass, with exquisite mahogany tables and chairs, delicious snacks and tea.
The sisters sat beside him, his arms gently wrapped around their waists, and from a distance, there was a bit of a taste of hugging left and right, which made those jealous eyes in the open and in the dark a lot more!
"Lao Tzu must kill this dog, mongrel, and breed!"
Jiang Yanyun in the distance crushed the wine glass in his hand, his teeth chattered, and his handsome face looked extremely hideous because of excessive distortion.
"Young master, the little one just saw the ring on that kid's hand, it seems to be the inheritance of the Zhou family," a follower carefully analyzed,
"But our news network has not received the news that the princess of the Zhou family has been engaged, will there be some misunderstanding?"
"Bullshit misunderstanding!" Jiang Yanyun scolded fiercely,
"That thing is not a stall, without the acquiescence of the family higher-ups, she dares to give it to that kid like this?"
"You guys immediately arrange for manpower and find a way to make him disappear! Lao Tzu TMD is fed up! ”
In the cubicle, Zhou Meng turned his head sideways, and was about to say something, when the personal light brain on his wrist suddenly trembled slightly, indicating that there was important information that he needed to deal with immediately.
Xiao Junling looked down, his originally smiling eyes couldn't help but stagnate, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yun was keenly aware of his reaction and asked.
"It's nothing ......" Xiao Junling pretended to cover it up calmly, and then remembered that he couldn't hide it at all, so he had to tell the truth:
"Someone wants to see me, can you give me some time now? I've got to get out of the way for a while! ”
"Who is it?" When the sisters heard this, they immediately became nervous, and they invariably reached out and grabbed his waist:
"Say it quickly? It's not going to be another vixen looking for you! Be honest! ”
"Where did you go?" Xiao Junling smiled bitterly, "This time it's a man, and it's not small, I think even the head of the family won't dare to slack off when he sees his invitation!" ”
“…… All right! Zhou Meng said a little reluctantly.
Zhou Yun pinched his waist and threatened in a low voice: "You'd better hurry up, otherwise if we are snatched away by other men, you can cry!" ”
Xiao Junling's hands on their waists suddenly exerted force, causing the two women to let out a coquettish moan involuntarily.
"Don't worry! The one who can snatch you from me has not yet been born! He proudly declared.
"You have a lot of confidence in yourself," Zhou Yun gently slapped him, "Go ahead!" Don't keep us waiting too long. ”
When Xiao Junling got up and went out, a maid was already waiting outside, bowed when she saw him, and then made a "please" gesture to lead him to the corridor on the other side.
In a compartment at the end of the corridor, several young people were chatting casually, and when they saw Xiao Junling coming in, they got up to say hello.
"Hello, nice to meet you!" A young man at the head said in a friendly manner, "My name is Wei Qinghao." ”
Seeing his appearance, Xiao Junling's heart moved slightly, and asked, "Your Excellency the Great Consul is your ......?"
"You mean my unscrupulous father?" He smiled and waved his hand,
"Don't pay attention to that old guy, let's invite you over today, just to get to know each other, and by the way, there are some things to talk to you, don't worry, I won't embarrass you!"
His smile is genuine, natural, and unpretentious, with a sunny aura rarely seen in ordinary family children, which can make people involuntarily give birth to a sense of closeness and friendliness.
The other young man was the one he had seen before, Qin Weiyang, who was in the limelight in the last auction, and the third was a tall young man with calm eyes and steady demeanor, with a subtle aura around him, faintly carrying an invisible pressure.
"An Yulong." His voice was simple and powerful, with a palpable sense of confidence and pride.
Xiao Junling's heart was slightly awe-inspiring, he had heard of this reputation in his previous life, known as the number one master among the younger generation of the wealthy families in the imperial capital, and he was only one step away from being a strong person in the Dark Star Realm. And he has led the family fleet to participate in many pioneering wars in the Barbarian Star Domain, and he is quite an outstanding figure in terms of personal strength, military command ability, and governance and development territory!
The last one is a woman with a hot body and a charming and attractive face, and her attitude is also the most enthusiastic, she gave Xiao Junling a big hug when she came up, and her delicate voice sounded in her ears: "Beautiful child, my name is Zhao Ziyan, you can call me Sister Enthalpy!" ”
The full and tall chest gently rubbed against his face, and the warm fragrance of nephrite jade could be clearly felt through the thin fabric of the dress.
Xiao Junling couldn't help blushing a little, and broke free from her arms in a little panic, which caused her to laugh more and more surprised:
"Isn't it? Didn't the pair of goblins of the Zhou family get quite close to you! Why does it look like they haven't been eaten yet? Are they too useless, or are you too disciplined? It's unbelievable! ”
Hearing her words, Qin Weiyang's eyes flickered, and he quietly exchanged a look with Wei Qinghao.
An Yulong, who was beside him, said helplessly: "Okay, Ah Yan, don't frighten our guests, okay?" And I'm going to be jealous! ”
Zhao Ziyan smiled nonchalantly, and rubbed his slender hand a few times on his face as if teasingly, before he reluctantly let go of his hand.
"Alright, sit down first! Let's talk while we eat! Wei Qinghao greeted with a smile.
