Hearing Lin Feng's teasing, Zhou Yang looked a bit awkward. He coughed lightly twice and stepped aside, revealing the ravishing beauty in professional attire standing behind him...
"Ahem... Allow to introduce her. This is my girlfriend... Zhu Xiuyue... Xiuyue, everyone here is practically family, so say hello!"
After introducing Zhu Xiuyue, Zhou Yang turned his head, sowhat embarrassed, and said to Lin Feng, "Brother Feng, you should understand now. It wasn't that I deliberately hid it from you before, but there was simply no way for to tell you! Xiuyue and I only confird our relationship today..."
Lin Feng was completely stunned. He never imagined Zhou Yang's girlfriend would be this woman!
Damn, Zhou Yang was really sothing! He was supposed to protect Zhu Xiuyue, but in just one afternoon, he'd gotten this great beauty into his arms! Such godlike efficiency! Lin Feng felt a bit confused. Now, recalling Zhou Yang's ambiguous tone over the phone earlier, he finally understood... That Zhou Yang was truly despicable! He was abusing his position for personal gain!
"Hello, Brother Feng, and hello to the two beautiful sisters..." Zhu Xiuyue walked forward a few steps, a bashful look on her face, and greeted Lin Feng and the others with a smile. Unlike Zhou Yang, Zhu Xiuyue was a very shrewd woman. She could imdiately see that the relationship between Lin Feng, Xue Qingyi, and Tang Rou was a bit complicated. Therefore, she didn't follow Zhou Yang's lead in calling Xue Qingyi 'sister-in-law' and simply referred to the two won as 'beautiful sisters'...
In terms of age, Zhu Xiuyue was likely the oldest of the three won, but her calling them 'sisters' sounded quite natural. Neither Xue Qingyi nor Tang Rou felt anything was amiss...
"Hehe, Miss Zhu..." Lin Feng looked at Zhu Xiuyue with a sowhat complicated expression, his tone a bit strange as he said, "I'm sorry, this is all too sudden. I'm having a bit of trouble processing it..."
"Actually... I also find it a bit sudden..." Zhu Xiuyue looked at Lin Feng, whom she had only t that morning, her expression equally awkward...
"However, regardless of that, since you and Zhou Yang have... gotten together, as his brothers and friends, of course, we have to congratulate you! Co on, everyone, let's have a toast first..." Lin Feng picked up the beer-filled glass from the table and loudly invited, "Co on, everyone, let's all drink..."
Everyone picked up a glass of beer. After a polite clink of glasses, Zhu Xiuyue proactively moved closer to Tang Rou and Xue Qingyi. Using her usual social graces, she began to charm the two won... Zhou Yang had warned her that she couldn't afford to offend either Tang Rou or Xue Qingyi, or else Brother Feng would be upset!
Zhu Xiuyue possessed good social skills. She knew how to consider others' feelings and was adept at finding topics for conversation, quickly getting Tang Rou and Xue Qingyi to laugh along with her.
Only then did Lin Feng finally relax. He grabbed a beer and pulled Zhou Yang to sit in another corner of the private booth...
"Little Zhou, tell honestly, what exactly is going on?" Lin Feng glanced at Zhu Xiuyue on the other side, his brow slightly furrowed. "Love at first sight? I find that hard to believe..."
"Oh? So, Boss, you think there's sothing wrong with Xiuyue?" Zhou Yang didn't seem to mind Lin Feng's words and asked with a grin.
"That's not what I ant..." Lin Feng shook his head. "Zhu Xiuyue is young, yet she's Liu Heng's assistant. Her work ability and life skills must be excellent. Plus, she's pretty; there's nothing wrong with her!"
"As long as you think she's qualified, Boss..." Zhou Yang smirked. "Actually, I don't have that many expectations for won... In my eyes, Xiuyue isn't much different from other won. However, what sets her apart is that she made the first move!"
"Damn... you have so unbelievable luck, picking up a beauty to be your girlfriend just like that..." Lin Feng's eyes widened as he stared at Zhou Yang, his face a mask of disbelief. "It doesn't make sense! You're not as handso as I am, so how could a woman actively pursue you?"
"Boss, don't forget, you have ten tis more won around you than I do... Never mind other things; your ability to bring two 'sisters-in-law' to a gathering is sothing I can't match. Your ga is on another level..." Zhou Yang took a sip of beer and chuckled.
"Ahem... Let's not talk about that..." Lin Feng coughed twice, glanced warily at Xue Qingyi and Tang Rou, who were chatting and laughing with Zhu Xiuyue, and sighed silently. "It's all because you suddenly told you'd found soone, so I thought I should make the occasion a bit more formal. It's not like I wanted this..."
"Hehe..." Regarding Lin Feng's attempt to shirk responsibility, Zhou Yang just smiled and didn't argue further. But he knew very well: Boss, when you're juggling multiple won yourself, that's none of my business!
"Let's not discuss that..." Lin Feng shook his head, as if trying to shake those annoying thoughts from his mind. He looked at Zhou Yang with a smile and asked, "Speaking of which, you let Liu Heng off so easily. Aren't you afraid he'll retaliate... against Xiuyue? Do you want to ask Ning Fuxun to deal with him?"
"No need," Zhou Yang chuckled, replying to Lin Feng. "That fellow Liu Heng was scared half to death by ; he won't dare to cause trouble again. He's probably keeping his distance from you now, so there's no need to ask Ning Fuxun to deal with him. If soone else replaced him, they might not be as compliant as Liu Heng is. Besides, as much of a scoundrel as Liu Heng is, in a way, he was the matchmaker for Xiuyue and ... He may not have earned much rit, but he certainly put in the effort!"
"Since you think that way, Liu Heng will be spared for now. But if he dares to ss up and cause any trouble, I won't let him off," Lin Feng snorted, his tone stern.
"If he dares to ss around, you won't need to lift a finger, Boss. I won't spare him!" Zhou Yang said with a faint smile. "I threatened him using his entire family. If he dares to make a wrong move, he can prepare to collect the corpses of his whole family!"
Lin Feng looked at Zhou Yang, speechless. This kid really has a violent streak... He must rember this is China. This kind of intimidation might sound scary, but if he really were to act on it, a warrant for his arrest would probably be issued nationwide within days.
China is a major country renowned for its high rate of public safety. The nurous publicly-funded departnts would never tolerate such an atrocity and turn a blind eye.
That being said, Liu Heng was the one being threatened. He wouldn't risk his family's lives unless absolutely necessary. Who knew if Zhou Yang was a madman or not...?
These days, the saying goes: the fierce fear the stubborn, and the stubborn fear the desperate. Madn are truly the most terrifying.
Just as Lin Feng and Zhou Yang were enjoying their conversation, the door to the private booth was suddenly thrown open. Long Xiaoyun rushed in, her face pale with panic, and cried out...
"Brother Feng, Brother Zhou... Sothing's happened!"
