Guardian [Rebirth]

Chapter 55 Engagement Banquet

When Liang Zhou finished his work on glory, Yu Shulin started making up lessons during the summer vacation.

They are going to be promoted to third grade soon. In order to catch up with the progress of the course, City No. [-] Middle School has extended their make-up time.Adding up all this, during the two-month vacation, they had to make up a full month of classes.And during the rest of the month, they have to complete a lot of homework, which can be described as miserable.

The weather was too hot, and riding a bicycle to and from school was a pain, so Liang Zhou took Yu Shulin's bicycle key and asked He Bo to pick him up every day.Later, when he was free, he often skipped work and went to pick up and drop off by himself.

On the last day of remedial classes, it was Yu Shulin's turn to be on duty. He and Li Tao carried the trash can downstairs, and happened to meet Liu Fen, who was dressed up beautifully and had light makeup on her face.

Liu Fen was still accompanied by the chubby girl. When she saw the two carrying the trash can in front of her, her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not her nose. , you are a star now, it is rare to see people like this who are born to take out the trash."

Liu Fen glanced at Yu Shulin and Li Tao lightly, with a reserved smile on her face, and said softly: "Xiaona, I understand, I will remember those who bullied me before, even if they are kneeling now Please, I won't look at them too much."

The chubby girl raised her head and looked very proud: "Xiaofen, you can see clearly, this place stinks, let's go through the corridor on the other side."

The two walked away proudly with their chins held high. Yu Shulin felt baffled. He glanced at their leaving backs and frowned, "Li Tao, I couldn't understand what they just said." After harassing himself, he left her behind. Seeing her returning victorious posture now, she is really a little confused.

Li Tao also frowned, and shook his head when he heard the words: "I don't know, she has been like this for a while."

"Forget it, leave them alone, let's go."

"Ah."

The draft event went smoothly. After the initial auditions, preliminary rounds, and semi-finals, the contestants who entered the promotion round had already accumulated enough popularity. They were followed by fans, and they looked like little stars.

Zhang Qian was very busy. In order to completely suppress Ronghua's draft, he spent a lot of thought, all kinds of publicity, the cultivation of featured players, the small tidbits of the game that were released intermittently on the Internet, and the recruitment initiated by hired people on the Internet. Paired votes... There are endless tricks, and the audience's attention is firmly fixed on Rongguang's draft this time.

In order to deal with Rongguang's various tricky moves, Ronghua also put in a lot of thought. First, he invited a few sharp-tongued judges to act as a gimmick, then publicized the tragic life experiences of several contestants, and finally invited the contestants' families Come on, here comes a debate about dreams. In short, it is all kinds of eyeballs and sympathy, playing a good emotional card.

The two are fighting each other, and the news is frequent.Today Rongguang broke the news of who and who sparked sparks during the competition and formed a temporary combination. Tomorrow Ronghua will report that a relative of a draft contestant suddenly had an accident, fainted from grief on stage, and unfortunately retired from the competition; last weekend Rongguang Gathered a few contestants with their own characteristics for a small variety show event, next Monday Ronghua picked out a few contestants with outstanding looks, and went to the orphanage to send warmth and blessings...

There are too many dramas, and the crowd is enthusiastic about it. Gradually, Rongguang competitions pay more and more attention to the personal strength and character charm of the contestants, but Ronghua competitions are more and more bloody. As long as you look good , If you can cry, you can advance!can fire!

The fans of the two families are fighting vigorously on the Internet. If your family says that my family has no looks, my family will pinch your family for being stupid.

In the villa, Yu Shulin had just watched Ronghua's latest high-end talent show, and was stunned. Before he could express his opinion, Aunt Liu came in embarrassingly and handed over an invitation.

Liang Zhou put down the document, took it over and opened it, raising his eyebrows: "Is Liang Zixiu getting engaged?"

Hearing this, Yu Shulin hurriedly turned off the TV and walked over, took a look at the invitation card, and asked doubtfully, "Liu Yufen... who is it?"

"It's interesting that the Liu family would let them get engaged." Liang Zhou curled his lips together: "The Liu family made their fortune from coal. Girl, no matter how hard you try, you might not be able to go one step further and receive both power and money, but it's a pity that...you chose Liang Jian as your in-law."

It's actually the coal boss's daughter... Yu Shulin was speechless: "Liang Zixiu will choose."

Liang Zhou paused, his expression became paralyzed, and he looked at him: "Do you think this Liu Yufen is good?"

"No." Yu Shulin shook his head resolutely, and explained: "It's the money." Although he holds his mother's inheritance and Rongguang's stock dividends, he can be regarded as a rich man, but compared with the legendary coal boss poor.

What's more, he can only spend money, he hasn't made any money yet... He has low self-esteem.

Liang Zhou looked a little better, thought for a while, and pulled him up: "Let's go to the study."

"What are you doing?" Yu Shulin stood up obediently and asked in doubt.

Liang Zhou didn't answer. After entering the study, he went straight to the small cabinet in the corner of the bookcase, opened it, and there was a safe inside. He pressed the password, opened the safe, took out the contents, spread them in front of Yu Shulin, and clicked :"look."

On the ground were several documents and passbooks, several certificates, and an exquisite two-layer wooden box, as well as a few small keys that were casually thrown aside.

"What are these?" Yu Shulin first dialed the small keys, then picked up the file and opened it, with a very casual attitude.

"I have equity certificates from other companies, real estate certificates, jewelry left by my mother, passbooks left by my father, and the key to the bank safe."

Yu Shulin's jaw dropped to the ground. After flipping through the documents in his hand, he flipped through the others, then opened the wooden box, and finally picked up the passbook with trembling hands. After seeing the numbers on it, he threw it away, and then He hurriedly picked it up, tidied it up, and gently placed it next to the pile of things.

"Brother, what are you doing buying stocks of foreign companies..." Sorry, he doesn't understand a lot of English, he looks dizzy, so don't look at it.

"That's an investment made when I was practicing in college." He said, got up and walked to the desk, opened a locked drawer, took out another stack of things, and handed them to Yu Shulin: "Most of the things in the safe are from parents. I kept the money I saved from college, I earned it when I was filming, and the money I earned after I took over Rongguang was in another bank card, and I gave you a secondary card, but you never swiped it.”

Thinking of the card that he had thrown to the back of the drawer, Yu Shulin's heart trembled. He took the thing that Liang Zhou handed over, flipped through it, and then covered his chest... His brother is so rich, he was about to suffocate.

Liang Zhou knelt down opposite him and looked directly at him: "Liang Zixiu will choose, huh?"

He looked down at the pile of things on the ground, then looked up at Liang Zhou who was so handsome at the moment, covered his face, swooped decisively, and slapped Liang Zhou on the face: "I will choose best!"

Liang Zhou was unsteady, sat down on the ground, smiled and stretched out his arms to hug the person in his arms, kissed his side face, satisfied: "Good eyesight."

"That is." Yu Shulin nodded vigorously.

After the two were tired, Yu Shulin supervised Liang Zhou to put away the pile of things, then picked up the invitation card that was creased by the two, and asked, "Do you want to go?"

After locking the safe, Liang Zhou pulled him up and walked out: "Go, you go with me, I want to see what Liang Jian is planning this time."

August 29 is suitable for marriage.

At the entrance of a certain luxury villa in the suburbs of city b, luxury cars gather, blinding people's eyes.

Liang Zhou changed his low-key style in the past, drove the most expensive sports car in the garage, and brought Yu Shulin, who was dressed up luxuriously, to the scene half an hour before the engagement ceremony.

A servant came up to help park the car, Liang Zhou threw the key to him, and led Yu Shulin towards the villa under the guidance of another servant.

Unlike Zhou Shi who chose to hold the engagement ceremony at noon, the Liu family and Liang Jian chose the evening.

The luxurious villa is brightly lit, and the garden is newly decorated. The large fountain in the center is illuminated by the lights, which is very beautiful and spectacular.

"It's like acting in a movie..." Yu Shulin tugged on his bow tie unaccustomed to it, fiddled with the new watch on his wrist and the gemstone cufflinks on his sleeve, and whispered, "Brother, you are dressed so simply, why should I dress up as so?"

To show off, of course, Liang Zhou hooked his lips, straightened his tie, and said in a low voice, "With Liang Jian's character, this engagement banquet will definitely invite many dignitaries. You are Rongguang's other boss, so naturally you can't." Dressed too low-key."

Yu Shulin understood, it turned out to be a face-saving project.

Elegant piano music wafted gently in the hall of the villa, and the faint aroma of wine filled the air. All kinds of expensive decorations could be seen everywhere. The guests shuttled through it with wine glasses, looking around, it was a luxurious and dreamy scene.

Yu Shulin glanced at the exaggerated crystal chandelier above his head, then looked down at the delicate carpet under his feet, and finally looked around the passing guests calmly, and nodded.Sure enough, there are a lot of face-saving projects. The men are all in suits and leather shoes chatting happily with wine glasses, and the women are all exquisitely dressed and smiling, which is a good social picture of the upper class.

"Brother, you dress too low-key." He felt that it was normal for him to dress like this on this occasion.

"It's okay, as long as you don't keep a low profile." Liang Zhou smiled, and raised his hand to button his suit: "Don't worry, my watch and yours are much more expensive than the jewelry on those ladies." After he was inclined, he became keen on various behaviors of showing off his wealth.

As cheesy as it sounds, he had a great time showing off.

Anyway, he only showed it to Shulin.

Yu Shulin narrowed his eyes, thinking of the drawer in his brother's closet dedicated to watch cuff buttons and tie clips, and suddenly felt that the wrist wearing the watch was a bit heavy.

"Brother, I'm a commoner."

Liang Zhou twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at Liang Zixiu who was coming towards him, and showed a perfunctory smile that was so shallow that it was almost invisible, his lips moved slightly: "It's okay, I allow you to be close to a rich man like me."

"..." My brother seems to be getting more and more narcissistic recently.

Liang Zixiu walked over with a red face, smiling very warmly, but his eyes were not the same, and he said in a fake greeting: "Cousin is here, why is it so late, come in quickly, Dad is receiving a distinguished guest, I don’t have time to come over, so I can only come to receive you later.”

"It's okay. As an elder, my uncle naturally doesn't have to come to greet him in person." Liang Zhou replied politely, with a gentleman's manner, which made Liang Zixiu, who was grinning and smirking, very stupid.

Liang Zixiu's smile faded, and his tone became cold: "Cousin, you can go around as you like, and I have to greet other guests, so excuse me." After speaking, he turned around and left without saving Liang Zhou any face.

Yu Shulin frowned. The host's attitude towards the guests was a bit too bullying.

"Don't worry about it. His attitude is embarrassing to the Liu family." Liang Zhou was very calm. The villa used for the engagement was provided by the Liu family. As the host, the invited guests were treated so rudely. But he would be gossiped—even if the guest was just a relative from his in-laws' side.

Sure enough, after a while, a strange young man rushed over. Seeing Liang Zhou was like seeing a brother. He warmly greeted him, introduced himself, and led Liang Zhou towards the main stage set up in the hall.

Yu Shulin looked at the ordinary-looking Liu Hao, the eldest son of Liu's family, and gave him a tick in his heart.Responses are polite, advance and retreat are measured, much more qualified than Liang Zixiu.

Liu Hao realized his sizing, looked back with a smile, and said, "Mr. Yu, some of the guests who came this time are also students from the No. [-] Middle School of the city. If you are interested, I can introduce them to you. Accompanied by peers, it will be more lively."

Knowing himself very well, Yu Shulin smiled and replied: "No trouble, thank you Mr. Liu for your kindness."

"You're welcome, it should be."

Listening to their conversation, Liang Zhou gently squeezed Yu Shulin's hand.

In front of the main stage, Liang Jian was talking to a handsome young man, with a warm and heroic attitude.Father Liu accompanied the young man with a glass of wine, and occasionally echoed a few words, with a hint of the intention of holding the young man in his arms.

Liang Zhou's eyes turned around among the three, and finally fell on the handsome young man.

Yu Shulin's eyes also fell on the young man, but it was because the man looked somewhat similar to Liang Zhou, especially the outline of the face and the shape of the lips, which were almost exactly the same.

As if aware of the scrutiny of the two, the young man who had been indifferent all this time suddenly turned his head and looked over, his eyes turned on Yu Shulin's face, and then stared at Liang Zhou firmly, without moving.

Yu Shulin narrowed his eyes, this guy looked at his brother a little strangely.

Liang Jian followed the young man's gaze and saw that it was Liu Hao who brought the Liang Zhou brothers over. The smile on his face froze, and then he smiled even wider. He looked at Liang Zhou with a hint of gloating and malicious intentions.

"Xiaozhou, you're here, you're a bit late." He greeted him, ignoring Liu Hao who led people over, pulled Liang Zhou straight past, and said with a smile, "Come on, Xiaozhou, let me introduce you. Who is this……"

A smile appeared on the handsome young man's face, and he stretched out his hand to Liang Zhou: "Hello, Mr. Liang Zhou, we meet again."

Liang Zhou narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand, shook him for two seconds and let go, with a cold expression on his face: "Hello, Mr. Yan, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Yan Kaiwen nodded, his eyes stopped on his face, and he stopped talking.

The atmosphere became dull.

Yu Shulin frowned, Mr. Yan?Could it be...

Liang Jian's words were choked back, his smile froze, his eyes turned between Liang Jian and Yan Kaiwen, and there was a little suspicion in his eyes, he hesitated and said: "Mr. Yan, my nephew has quite a relationship with your uncle. Back then, his mother, Ms. Zhou Qingya, once..."

"Mr. Liang." Finally, Yan Kaiwen was willing to move away from staring at Liang Zhou, looked at Liang Jian coldly, and said indifferently: "Today is your son's big day, so let's stop talking about those past events."

Liang Jian's words were interrupted again, feeling a little embarrassed, he twitched the corners of his mouth, and replied dryly "yes", but he was very dissatisfied and puzzled in his heart.The fact that Yan's family had a feud with Zhou Qingya was widely spread in City B back then, and he had already pointed out the relationship between Liang Zhou and Zhou Qingya. Why hasn't Yan Kaiwen shown any hostility towards Liang Zhou?And the conversation between the two before... Could it be that these two have already met?

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly darkened.Yan Kaiwen returned to China to invest, and to find a partner for the Yan family to reopen the domestic market. Now Liang Zhou seems to have contacted the other party before him. Could it be that the two have reached an agreement?

No, no, the Yan family and the Zhou family had such a trouble back then, he didn't believe that the Yan family would cooperate with Zhou Qingya's son!This must be a smoke bomb that Liang Zhou released deliberately, trying to mess himself up.

Thinking of Ronghua's predicament of being overwhelmed by glory in the past six months, he gritted his teeth and gripped the wine glass even tighter.Zixiu is now engaged to Ms. Liu's family, and now Ronghua has the development funds. If he gets on the line of Yan's family... Ronghua will become the largest entertainment company in China just around the corner!

Liang Chi can start an entertainment company, so can he!Liang Chi can get involved in other industries and achieve success, so can he!Whoever says that he can only sell shoes in the future, he will kill him with money!

Liang Jian's emotions were so obvious, if Liang Zhou didn't understand the purpose of inviting him to the engagement banquet, his head could be cut off and used as a stool for Yu Shulin.

Want to provoke him to conflict with the Yan family here?How stupid.

He coldly glanced at Liang Jian, who had some scary eyes, ignored Yan Kaiwen who started to stare at him again, reached out to Father Liu who was left alone, and said politely, "Mr. Liu, congratulations on Ling Ai's engagement, and wish you happiness and success."

Liu Qiang was ignored by Liang Jian for a long time, and he was secretly annoyed in his heart. Seeing this junior greet him proactively, he was taken aback for a while, then smiled, shook hands with him, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Fortunately, Rongguang has developed rapidly recently, and Mr. Liang's presence has made our Liu family a little happy." Liu Yufen is the daughter he holds in his hands and is now engaged. All other blessings are empty. "Four words, it can be said that it hit his mind, in short, he liked Liang Zhou very much.

"Mr. Liu is polite." Liang Zhou responded politely.

Liu Hao, who was silent for a while, took a step forward with a smile, and said to Liu Qiang, "Dad, this Mr. Liang not only manages the company well, he is also very good at educating his younger brother. When Yufen has her own child, she has to let him go." Zixiu went to Mr. Liang to learn from him.”

"Really?" When mentioning his daughter, Liu Qiang smiled a little wider, and his eyes fell on Yu Shulin who was beside Liang Zhou. ? Come on, let uncle see."

Yu Shulin took a step forward and said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, congratulations on your engagement."

"Okay, okay, he is really a good boy." Liu Qiang patted him on the shoulder kindly with a smile, and greeted him: "Today's banquet is fun, don't be restrained."

"That's natural." Yu Shulin stood and let him take pictures, with a polite and well-behaved attitude.

Liang Zhou's eyes were locked on Yu Shulin's body all the time, and when he saw this, his eyes moved away, and fell on Liu Qiang's right hand patted on Yu Shulin's shoulder, squinting.

"You care about your brother?" Yan Kaiwen's expression moved, he took a step closer, and said in a low voice.

Liang Zhou took a step sideways, without looking at him: "Sparse forest is very good."

Yan Kaiwen continued to move towards him, trying to make himself closer to him, with an unfathomable look on his face, but his tone was slightly aggrieved: "I am also your brother."

"Heh." Liang Zhou sneered, finally gave him a look, and said coldly: "You are the enemy who disturbed my cousin's engagement banquet."

Yan Kaiwen choked, remembering the bad first encounter a few months ago, the elite youth couldn't pretend anymore, his brows collapsed: "I didn't mean it, I was just a little excited, uncle wants to see you very much."

Liang Zhou turned around, looked him up and down, and pursed his lips: "Suddenly I think you are a little more pleasing to the eye."

Yan Kaiwen's eyes lit up.

"But still annoying."

"..."

Yan Kaiwen glanced at him sadly, saw Yu Shulin coming back, hurriedly moved back to the original place, picked up the elite fan, his expression returned to indifference, his chin was slightly raised, and he looked like "I am the only one, you are all mortals".

Yu Shulin gave him a strange look, walked back to Liang Zhou, and before he could speak, his shoulders were put on him.

"Is this also jealous?" He looked sideways at the hand on his shoulder, speechless.

"There is dust, I just pat it for you." Liang Zhou looked at Liu Qiang without changing his face, "Thank you Mr. Liu for your praise of Shulin, children will be proud."

When Liang Jian recovered from his imagination about the future, what he saw was Liang Zhou and everyone chatting happily.

Although Yan Kaiwen still looked indifferent, intentionally or unintentionally, he took two steps sideways, and together with Liu Qiang and his son, surrounded Liang Zhou and his brothers, as if Liang Zhou was the host of the banquet.

"Family, the engagement ceremony is about to begin, let's go get ready first." He darkened his face, took two steps forward, and opened his mouth to break the harmony.

Liu Qiang was discouraged, and his face showed some displeasure.He didn't like Liang Jian's father and son's conduct at all, and if his daughter hadn't insisted, he would not have agreed to this marriage.Now that Liang Jian performed poorly at his daughter's engagement banquet again and again, he felt irritable and didn't want to talk to him.

Liu Hao knew his father's temper well. Thinking about his younger sister who was very noisy some time ago, he looked at the time and saw that the engagement ceremony was indeed about to start, so he hurriedly persuaded him in a low voice: "The time is coming, father, go get ready, otherwise the younger sister will be noisy again." gone."

Thinking of his daughter, Liu Qiang frowned, turned his head to exchange greetings with Liang Zhou and Yan Kaiwen, and left with Liang Jian in a very bad mood.

Now that he has figured out Liang Jian's intention of inviting him over, Liang Zhou lost interest in the banquet. He took Yu Shulin to avoid Yan Kaiwen, went to the corner, pointed at the more important figures in the field, and Give him an introduction.

After such an introduction, the engagement ceremony on the main stage was almost completed.

The bride, Liu Yufen, is not very beautiful, but her figure is fair, and her facial features are a bit ordinary. Under the embellishment of exquisite clothing and makeup, there is just a touch of extravagance that ordinary girls don't have.But Liang Zixiu looked at her as if he was looking at some peerless beauty, she was tender and tender, with infinite affection.

The engagement ceremony was going on in an orderly manner, everything was perfect, the happy bride, the affectionate groom, the two parents who laughed heartily, and all the guests applauding and blessing.

The music in the hall became warm and lively, and the master of ceremonies laughed and joked a few words about the newcomers. Just as he was about to announce the successful completion of the ceremony, a discordant loud noise suddenly sounded, interrupting his words.
