chase a hammer

The Zhu family is an ancient and huge family. Until now, the concept is still feudal and decadent. The clan hierarchy is strict and pays great attention to blood. The rise and fall of the clan is almost all pinned on the heirs.

As the heir of the Zhu family, Zhu E devoted almost all of his family's efforts. A few years ago, the Zhu family gradually disappeared in the circle. It was also because Zhu E was sent abroad for recuperation and treatment, and the focus of the entire Chu family followed suit. transferred abroad.

Now that the Zhu family has reappeared in the circle because of Chu E, the people in the circle will inevitably give the Zhu family a little favor.

The reason for this banquet was to celebrate the birthday of Zhu E, the heir of the Zhu family. Looking around, the banquet was almost filled with prominent figures in the circle.

Wearing a neat suit at the banquet, but still unbuttoning a few buttons on the collar, Du Hang, who exposed his collarbone, listened to his elder brother's instructions, looking careless.

The eldest brother of the Du family sighed with a bit of resentment, and he warned in a low voice to the arrogant and domineering younger brother in front of him: "I know you had conflicts with that young master of the Wu family, but I warn you."

"Don't make trouble at the banquet."

"Just because you have conflicts with Wu Chu doesn't mean you have conflicts with the entire Wu family."

"There are rumors about the Wu family's affairs in the circle. Take it easy and don't trouble others."

In the past, he was able to allow Du Hang to trouble the young master of the Wu family because he knew that no one in the Wu family would take care of him.

But this time was different from before. Anyone with a discerning eye could see how much Wu Han valued the boy he brought with him.

On the surface he was called a cousin, but everyone had already moved into the old Wu family house and went in and out with Wu Han. Anyone who saw him had to call that boy Young Master Wu for Wu Han's sake.

Treat Wu Chu who was thrown abroad one by one.

After hearing these words, Du Hang sneered a few times, didn't say anything, just nodded lazily.

It seems that I don't know whether to listen to it or not to listen to it.

He inadvertently looked up at the magnificent banquet center, where the women with beautiful temples and elegant clothes were holding the arms of the people beside them gracefully, melodious and slow music was flowing in the air, and the man in suit and leather shoes holding a wine glass under the bright crystal lamp, his eyebrows and eyes were in perfect harmony. Wu Chu is somewhat similar, but his temperament is like a sharp blade.

The man was nodding slightly to greet the person in front of him. Behind him was a shy boy with a handsome face. He looked ignorant of the world, wearing a well-fitting suit, like a noble young master.

Du Hang watched as Wu Han led the boys behind him to get to know the people in the circle step by step. His cold and sharp face softened when facing the boys behind him.

He smiled sarcastically, for some reason, looking at that handsome boy who somewhat resembled Wu Chu was particularly displeasing to his eyes.

People in the circle are all good people, who know who should be complimented, and who they can step on.

What's ridiculous is that Wu Chu has been the young master of the Wu family for more than ten years, but he has always been the one who is trampled underfoot.

Now a person who came out of nowhere, Shi Shi ran behind Wu Han, walking the road Wu Han paved for him, appearing in the circle is just being complimented by others.

Du Hang thought he was not a good thing, and he never tired of fighting Wu Chu for a long time.

But in the whole circle, he is the only one who can make Wu Chu unhappy.

It's not that any cat or dog can come out and make Wu Chu unhappy.

Du Hang, who opened his collarbone button at random, picked up his wine glass and walked towards the handsome boy who had placed an order.

Wu Han was talking to several business partners. He picked up the wine glass and smiled slightly at the person in front of him. The business partner said lightly: "Excuse me."

He strode towards Zhang Huaiyuan, watched Zhang Huaiyuan purse his lips, and kept silent to the person in front of him.

Wu Han, the boy in front of Zhang Huaiyuan, had the impression that he was the youngest son of the Du family. He was known in the circle to be domineering and debauched. He seemed very loose, and he never got along with Wu Chu.

Wu Han walked in front of Zhang Huaiyuan, his eyes getting colder, his tall figure blocked the boys behind him, staring at Du Hang in front of him, and said coldly, "What's your business, Young Master Du?"

Zhang Huaiyuan behind him said shyly, "Brother, it's nothing, Young Master Du just came to chat with me."

Du Hang sneered, looking at the handsome boy in front of him pretending to persuade Wu Han, before he could say a few words to the boy, the boy pursed his lips in a daze, it looked like he was deliberately bullying others.

He raised his head lazily, smiled at Wu Han's warning eyes and said slowly, "Don't worry."

His eyes looked very sincere, but with a bit of sarcasm, he grinned, poured down the wine in the glass, looked at Zhang Huaiyuan meaningfully and said slowly: "Who doesn't know that your brother is very precious, How dare I, Du Hang, move."

Wu Han said indifferently: "It's good that Young Master Du is clear."

Looking at the figure of Wu Han leaving with Zhang Huaiyuan, Du Hang sneered a few times, and several acquaintances around him gathered together, and heard him sneer and say, "It's just a pretentious thing."

The boy's appearance is disgusting, not as exciting as Wu Chu's idiot.

At least Wu Chu never pretended to be in front of him, and he did what he did before.

Several sons and brothers tried to persuade him not to be impulsive. Now this person is not as easy to bully as Wu Chu before, and he has a backer behind him. If something happens, he will not be easy to explain.

Du Hang turned his head and stared at them and said, "You guys are the only ones who are knowledgeable and interesting?"

"You are the only ones who know how to look at people's faces?"

After that, he raised his foot and wanted to kick the person in front of him to curse and said, "Who else told you that Wu Chu is easy to bully?"

If Wu Chu is easy to bully, does he deserve to target Wu Chu for so many years?

If that rebellious boy would give in to him and would be willing to follow Du Hang behind his butt and call him brother, coaxing him like he coaxed that little lover, wouldn't it be easy for Du Hang to cover himself?

Who else in the circle would dare to call him a wild species?

But Wu Chu is not, he is as stubborn as a donkey all day long, and when he is in a relationship, he is blown on the pillow every day, and he stands up for his little lover regardless of right and wrong.

The young masters dodged Du Hang's outstretched foot with a playful smile, and didn't take Du Hang's words to heart.

Halfway through the banquet, Chu E, who was sitting on a red velvet chair in the lounge, looked down at the pocket watch in her hand, her pale fingertips were wrapped around the silver pocket watch chain, and her lips were pale.

His pale green eyes stared intently at the second hand on the pocket watch as he walked bit by bit, breathing with lowered eyebrows, as if he was also walking bit by bit with the second hand.

Someone knocked lightly on the door of the lounge, and after he was granted permission, the butler in a formal dress came quickly, leaned over and whispered something in his ear.

Chu E raised his head suddenly, his pale green eyes softened, and there was a smile on his bland lips, as if he dared not touch a dream, he said softly: "Has he reached the halfway up the mountain yet?"

The butler in formal attire bowed halfway and said with a respectful smile, "Yes, Young Master Wu will be here soon."

Chu E's breathing became slightly rapid, like a child who hasn't eaten candy for a long time, and smiled contentedly with his eyes bent.

After slowing down for a few breaths, Chu E's green eyes were vainly cold, she turned her head to look at the housekeeper and said hoarsely: "Stop Shen Qiuze, find an excuse to bring him to the back garden."

In this banquet, the Chu family invited almost most of the famous people in S city, including some people who have cooperated in projects abroad.

The butler nodded respectfully, and watched the pale boy throw his pocket watch on the glass table, stand up and walk towards the door. The boy walked in a hurry, as if he was expecting to welcome something.

The street lamps in the back garden of Chu’s house were brightly lit, and the wisteria flowers were hanging down. Wu Chu was sitting on the bench, playing with a cheap lighter with downcast eyes.

The person who led the way had already retreated respectfully, the whole garden was so silent that only the occasional cry of insects could be heard, the moonlight was bright, and it was as transparent as water.

Wu Chu was very familiar with the garden of Chu's family, so familiar that he could walk out with his eyes closed.

But if he could, he would never want to set foot in the Chu family again.

The boy sitting on the bench had cold eyebrows and a bit of hostility. He heard light footsteps behind him. He didn't move, just sat on the bench and lowered his eyes.

The person who came was covered in moonlight, his face was as pale as snow under the moonlight, he knelt down half-kneeled, raised his head in a pious posture and rolled his eyes at the boy sitting on the bench and called out: "Brother. "

Wu Chu didn't move, only twirled the lighter with his fingertips, his eyes were indifferent under the streetlight.

There was an aura of resistance and disgust all over his body.

Chu E bent her eyes and said hoarsely: "I thought brother would not come."

He sat in the lounge and stared at the stopwatch turning bit by bit. Every second it turned, his throat seemed to be tightly strangled by a minute, until the housekeeper told him that Wu Chu was really here, and he was in vain. I breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if Wu Chu was forced by him.

But what does it matter?

He was abnormal, Wu Chu already knew it.

Chu E, who was half kneeling on the ground, laughed, stretched out his cold and pale fingertips to touch the boy's brow bone with a shallow scar, and said as if sighing: "Brother is still as soft-hearted as before."

Soften for those who shouldn't be softhearted.

For example, those who had a broken bone playing basketball, those who had a car accident before the game, and the tablemates who were sent away by him, Wu Chu was always getting angry with him because of these insignificant people.

Chu E never regretted doing those things, what he regretted was that he didn't deal with them cleanly, which made Wu Chu aware of the clues.

Wu Chu tilted his head in disgust, avoiding the protruding fingertips of the half-kneeling person in front of him, and said with a cold expression, "If you have anything to say, hurry up and say it."

Chu E tilted his head and tilted his head slightly, his pale green eyes were like translucent gemstones under the bright moonlight, and his bland thin lips were curled. He smiled seriously and said, "Will you not say happy birthday to me?"

"I said, I won't force you again."

It's just another way for you to accept it.

The thin and pale boy was half-kneeling by the bench. He was still wearing an expensive hand-made custom suit, with blood-red finger rings on his fingers. He looked like he had just come out of a banquet.

At this moment, he half-kneeled in front of Wu Chu and raised his head almost in a gesture of asking for a kiss. His eyes were wet like a puppy, and they looked soft and harmless. He said intimately: "I just want to hear Ah Chu in person. Tell me happy birthday."

He seldom calls Wu Chu or Ah Chu.

From Chu E's point of view, the title Ah Chu, which is full of joy between lips and teeth, is often called at certain important and meaningful moments.

Like now.

Following the butler to the bench, the man stopped in his footsteps. His brows and eyes were indifferent, and the sapphires on the cuff buttons of his suit gleamed coldly in the moonlight. He stared at the two people in front of the bench, his jaw clenched slightly.

Behind the man, the butler of the Chu family, who was wearing a dress, bowed slightly, and said in an apologetic voice, "Mr. Shen, I'm sorry, it seems that our husband is still entertaining guests."

Shen Qiuze stood where he was, staring at the two of them without speaking.He watched the boy sitting on the bench frowning and raised his head, looked at the person coming, and was stunned when he saw him.

Shen Qiuze's jaw clenched, his gaze was a little heavy, he didn't stare at Wu Chu anymore, but instead stared at the heir of the Chu family who was half kneeling on the spot and smiling at him with his head tilted to the side.

The Chu family's influence abroad is complicated, and they also have business contacts with the Shen family abroad, but it happened that the Chu family had very close business contacts with the Shen family during this period, and it happened to invite him to the party at this time.

All coincidences are slowly turning like gears meshing.

Chu E was half kneeling on the ground, with a slight smile on her pale face, looking extremely harmless.
