Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

Upon hearing this, the head of the Li family smiled and said nothing. Li Jiajia also knew that haste makes waste. As long as she slowly builds a good relationship with her uncle, he should help her since they are of the same blood.

After breakfast, Li Jiajia went back to sleep. Mrs. Li looked at Li Jiajia's back and said, "Husband, although Second Uncle's family has a good relationship with us, their focus is on the United States. Why did Second Uncle suddenly let Jiajia come to Hong Kong to develop?"

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Li smiled and said, "Wife, Second Uncle is not interested in wine. Jia Jia came back for another purpose."

Madam Li was puzzled when she heard this: "Oh? Then tell me what is the purpose of Second Uncle letting Jia Jia come back?"

Seeing his wife was in high spirits, Patriarch Li said with a smile, "Do you know about the story of the Chu and Zhou families' elderly returning to youth?"

Madam Li nodded and said, "I know. Everyone in Hong Kong's upper class society knows about this. They all want to make friends with the strange man behind the Chu and Zhou families..."

Then she reacted and said, "Husband, are you saying that Second Uncle also knows about this, so he asked Jia Jia to come back just to target the Lin family behind the Chu and Zhou families?"

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Li nodded and smiled, "We are not short of money, but what are we afraid of?"

Madam Li said without thinking, "It's illness, it's death, otherwise the Chu and Zhou families wouldn't be so prosperous now, it's because there is a strange man behind them. Not to mention them, even I want to be young again, but I also understand that it's not easy to get that kind of thing, isn't that what you meant by asking Xiaohui to befriend Chu Kuang."

Patriarch Li nodded and said, "You are right. That is what I meant. Moreover, since I took the body-refining pill, my health has improved many times. If I can get a pill that increases my lifespan, it will be a blessing for our Li family."

Madam Li nodded and said, "That's true. I also feel very healthy and stronger. Although Jia Jia is pretty, she is still inferior to the maids from the Chu and Zhou families."

Patriarch Li smiled and said, "It's not a bad idea to give it a try. It won't be a big loss for us. As for whether it will succeed or not, that depends on Jia Jia herself."

Madam Li nodded and said, "It depends on whether Jia Jia is lucky enough. If she can really catch the eyes of the Lin family, then our Li family will be truly tied to the Lin family."

At night, a hotel banquet hall.

At this time, many prominent families from Hong Kong had already arrived, but they were divided into factions and groups of three or five, and there were some young men and women chatting and laughing on the side.

Chu Wanrou and Zhou Lu arrived at the hotel entrance and just met the couples Chu Weizhi and Zhou Li getting out of the car. They hurried to talk to their mothers.

When the Chu and Zhou families arrived at the banquet hall, everyone's eyes lit up immediately. Zhou Lu and Chu Wanrou were originally two beauties in Hong Kong, and now with their spiritual practice, their looks were even better than before, and all the young men were fascinated by them.

However, the elders did not observe how beautiful the two women were, but rather the youthful looks of the two heads of the Chu and Zhou families and their wives. Seeing their looks that were obviously a dozen years younger, everyone was more certain that the Chu and Zhou families had found a powerful partner, so they all gathered around them in good faith to talk in order to improve their relationship.

After dealing with the crowd, the two families found a quiet place to sit down, and the head of the Li family came over and said with a smile: "Old Zhou and Old Chu, you two couples really look enviable now."

Chu Weizhi knew that Li Hui and Lin Nuo had gone to Sijiu City, and he also understood the envy in the words of the Li family head, so he said modestly: "Old Li, don't be envious. The reason we are doing this is to take advantage of our daughter. With nephew Li Hui here, I believe you will get what you want sooner or later."

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Li smiled bitterly and said, "I hope so, but that kind of thing is not something we can just ask for. Let's see if Xiaohui has the good fortune to do so in the future."

Zhou Li also knew that Mr. Li was telling the truth, so he changed the subject and talked about some business matters.

Chu Yun patted her daughter's hand and said with a smile: "Wanrou, you and Lulu go play, it's annoying for you to talk to us."

Chu Wanrou was about to agree when she saw a tall, wavy, mixed-race beauty coming over to greet the head of the Li family.

Of course, Patriarch Li understood why his niece came here, so he said to Patriarchs Chu and Zhou, "This is my cousin, Li Jiajia, who has been living in the United States. This time she came back to stay in Hong Kong to develop. You two must take good care of her in the future."

After saying that, he turned to Li Jiajia and said, "This is your Uncle Chu and Uncle Zhou, why don't you come over and greet them."

Li Jiajia bowed gracefully and said, "Hello, Uncle Chu, hello, Uncle Zhou, I hope you two will take care of your niece in the future."

Chu Weizhi Zhou Li smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

Chu Yun introduced, "This is my daughter Zhou Lu, and this is Chu Wanrou, the little princess of the Chu family. She is also my niece. You two are about the same age, so you should be able to get along well."

Li Jiajia looked at Zhou and Chu and her eyes lit up. They were indeed the two beauties of Hong Kong. She felt inferior to them in both figure and appearance, so she smiled and said, "Hello, Sister Chu, hello, Sister Zhou."

Zhou Lulu nodded and said, "Why call me Sister Zhou? We are almost the same age, so we should just call each other by our names. This way we will feel more comfortable."

Li Jiajia smiled and said, "Okay, Lu Lu Wanrou."

The three women quickly became friends, and soon the new Attorney General came out to say a few words, and then the dinner began.

The Attorney General's surname is Zhao Wuji. He knows that he was able to take the position smoothly because of the fire in the Wang family. However, he also knows that the fire was not spontaneous, so he is still very low-key for fear of provoking such a terrible enemy.

According to the intelligence currently available, the young master of the Wang family had a conflict with the Zhou family before, and the Wang family was then wiped out. He would never believe it even if he was beaten to death to believe that it had nothing to do with the Zhou family. However, he did not find any clues in the surrounding surveillance, which made him even more wary of the Zhou family. But then he thought about it and realized that he had no grudge against the Zhou family. If he could establish a relationship with the Zhou family, then he would have nothing to fear in the future.

And his son has reached the age of marriage. Moreover, his son is very outstanding and graduated from a famous university in the United States. If he can marry into the Zhou family, wouldn't he be able to use the Zhou family's influence to rise to the top? So he discussed it with his mother, and that's why today's dinner was held.

There were many noble ladies and celebrities surrounding Madam Zhao. Next to the old lady stood a handsome young man. The ladies around her all had peach blossoms in their eyes, but the man was very cold and did not talk to them.

Chu Wanrou and Zhou Lu were not interested in these things. They were sitting in the corner and talking boredly.

Madam Zhao looked at Chu Yun who was also chatting and said with a smile: "Madam Zhou, I wonder if Miss Zhou Lu, who is known as the twin beauties of Hong Kong, has arrived?"

Chu Yun, who was originally socializing, smiled and said, "Old lady, my good-for-nothing daughter is here. But she doesn't like crowds and is talking to her cousin over there." As she spoke, she pointed over there.

Madam Zhao looked at the two girls, then turned back and said with a smile, "Madam Zhou, my Nian'er is also of marriageable age. Do you think he is a good match for your daughter?"

Zhao Nian had noticed Zhou Lu and Chu Wanrou a long time ago, and he also knew about the arrangements at home. When he saw the two girls, he vowed to marry one of them home, so he never talked to the other girls and acted aloof.

Seeing her grandmother introducing herself, she nodded to Chu Yun and said respectfully, "Hello, Aunt Chu."

Chu Yun admired the handsome Zhao Nian very much. If it were in the past, she would have agreed to let the two children try. However, now it is different from the past. Her daughter has already been taken. So she smiled and said, "Grandma, my nephew Zhao is indeed a handsome man, but it's a pity that my Lulu is already engaged. I'm really sorry."

Zhao Nian was very happy when she heard the first half of the sentence, but when she heard that Zhou Lu had an engagement, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across her face.

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Zhao sighed, "That's because our Nian'er is unlucky."

A noble lady beside him said with a smile: "Old lady, the girl from the Zhou family has an engagement, but the girl from the Chu family is still there."

Zhao Nian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and Madam Zhao couldn't help but look at Madam Chu. Madam Chu had eaten the longevity pill, so how could she not know the difference between the serious and the serious? So she quickly said, "I'm sorry, old lady, my daughter is also engaged."

Although Old Madam Zhao was disappointed when she heard this, she still smiled and asked, "Which young talent can catch the eyes of the Chu and Zhou families?"

Chu Yun smiled and said, "Madam, my son-in-law is not from our business community, so you wouldn't know him even if I told you."

Seeing that people were unwilling to talk, Old Lady Zhao sighed and said, "Forget it, it's my Nian'er who is unlucky."

Chu Yun smiled and said, "Look at what you are saying, old lady. There are so many celebrities here, but none of them are pleasing to your eyes?"

She didn't dare to respond, so Old Madam Chu could only smile and said nothing more.

Zhao Nian was disheartened when he learned that both goddesses already had engagements. Since returning to Hong Kong, he has heard the most about the two beauties of Hong Kong. Fortunately, they are not married yet, so as long as they are not married, he still has a chance.

He was acting cool just now to attract the girls' attention, but now he decided to take the initiative, so he walked towards Chu Wanrou and Zhou Lu with a glass of wine.

When Old Madam Zhao saw this, she didn't say anything. She thought to herself, my grandson is so outstanding. If your daughter is willing to cancel the engagement, then don't blame me.

Chu Yun and Mrs. Chu looked at each other and didn't take it to heart. In their eyes, their son-in-law was a strange man, and how could their daughter lose the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds? So in their opinion, Zhao Nian's efforts were in vain.

Chu Wanrou and Zhou Lu were whispering about cultivation when they saw a man approaching them. The man said gently, "Hello, ladies. I am Zhao Nian from the Zhao family. I am very happy to meet such beautiful girls like you at the banquet."

As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. Chu Wanrou smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Zhao." Then she raised her glass in greeting.

After finishing his drink, Zhao Nian smiled and said, "I wonder what the two beautiful ladies are talking about here?"

Chu Wanrou also realized that the person in front of her was here to chat her up, so she said calmly, "It's not convenient to talk to Mr. Zhao about some private matters between girls."

As soon as Zhao Nian heard this, he knew that the other person was rejecting him. If he continued to pester her, he would be embarrassed, so he smiled gently and said, "Then I wish you two ladies have fun. This is my business card. We can get together if there is a chance." After that, he said goodbye and left.

Zhou Lu curled his lips when he saw Zhao Nian leaving and said, "Why are there flies everywhere? Why don't we go back?"
