Chapter 331: Chapter 0332: Visitor from the Bai Family

Chu Feng listened to Zhuang Xinyan’s words and also laughed, "In this world, is there anything that still makes you regretful?"

Zhuang Xinyan affirmed, "Yes! And today, two such things happened."

Chu Feng asked, "What are they?"

Zhuang Xinyan replied, "The first one is what I just mentioned, the second is having you pretend to be that friend of mine."

Chu Feng really felt like getting out of the car. He hadn’t done anything wrong at all. He was just sitting quietly in the car, so why was he being disliked? Could it be that he was too honest and she didn’t like that? Could it be that she preferred someone more reckless?

The car smoothly stopped at a hotel downstairs; it was a five-star hotel owned by the Wu Family. However, today its top floor was completely closed off, not open for any business. Even the three floors below the top floor were entirely sealed off, preventing anyone without an invitation from getting near, because today the Bai Family had arrived.

The arrival of Bai Jiarui, for all the upper echelon of East River, was the equivalent of starting the curtain on the grand East River Family Conference.

After so many years of development and management, East River was finally going to have a native grand family.

This captivated everyone’s nerves.

For everyone, a distinguished family was a synonym for something unattainable.

Although it was merely a title, with no certificates or medals, for any family, it represented the utmost honor; it signified that you had the qualifications to enter into the top echelons of Huaxia society.

Although in modern society, the notion of circles had significantly weakened.

But in reality, it had always existed. Throughout thousands of years, it has undergone various transformations, but you could not deny its existence.

Becoming a grand family meant obtaining the stepping stone to enter this circle. At least you wouldn’t be rejected at the door, although entering might not mean you could truly control, but it was still better than being excluded from the circle.

Those within the circle could have access to any information first-hand. In today’s society, having a step ahead in information meant having more opportunities to make money than everyone else.

This was not conspiracy; it was an overt stratagem. Because they had the strength and the capability.

If you wanted the same, then you could only strive to earn this stepping stone.

After decades of rapid development following reform and opening, East River finally caught the attention of the Family Alliance, getting permission to have a grand family.

For this spot, the Wu Family, An Family, Zhuang Family, Jin Family, Tang Family, and Tie Family all desperately hoped to secure it.

However, the Tang Family and Tie Family, due to various reasons, had already fallen behind. The ones truly capable of competing were only the Wu, An, Zhuang, and Jin families.

They had to go all out to secure this stepping stone, for these four families, it was an opportunity for a leap forward.

Once successful, they would have the chance to guide the world. Though the chances were small, it was still better than being directed by others.

Chu Feng got out of the car, then very gentlemanly opened the car door for Zhuang Xinyan.

Zhuang Xinyan, dressed in a black evening gown, got out of the car. She looked no less stunning than any red carpet celebrity, even surpassing those stars in terms of aura.

Unfortunately, the security here ensured there wouldn’t be journalists. Zhuang Xinyan was destined not to enjoy the treatment of incessant flashing camera lights.

But clearly Zhuang Xinyan didn’t care about these things. She stepped out of the car very composedly and hooked Chu Feng’s arm with happiness on her face, really looking like a girl deeply in love."

Chu Feng looked at Zhuang Xinyan beside him, genuinely wondering how she managed it.

"Perhaps she really likes me?" Chu Feng thought smugly to himself.

The two held hands as they entered the private elevator, which rapidly reached the top floor.

The arrival of the East River Goddess instantly drew all eyes toward them. The name Chu Feng, to some, was no longer unfamiliar. However, they were somewhat baffled as Chu Feng was not An Rongrong’s boyfriend; how was it that today he was together with Zhuang Xinyan?

Such questions wouldn’t be voiced, however, due to the involvement of both the Zhuang and An Families, and their public images. No one felt confident in having the power to shake the foundation of the Zhuang and An Families. Yet, they were all incredibly envious of Chu Feng, for he managed to hold the hands of two pearls of the East River simultaneously.

Zhuang Family, being the one with the highest call among the grand families this time, led many to proactively approach Zhuang Xinyan to greet her.

Zhuang Xinyan handled every greeting with poise. Every sentence she spoke was flawless, not even a single wrong word could be picked out.

Soon, quite a number of people gathered around, forming a sizable circle.

Watching the people crowd around, Chu Feng thought to himself, "Perhaps this is how circles are indeed formed."

As long as you have strength, naturally, people will gravitate toward you, flattering and attaching themselves to you.

Chu Feng noticed that An Wenxing also arrived, who likewise had a circle around him as large as Zhuang Xinyan’s.

An Wenxing and Zhuang Xinyan had teamed up to take down Wu Di, a fact that had already spread secretly.

This time, the biggest beneficiary was not Zhuang Xinyan, but An Wenxing. This displayed An Wenxing’s capabilities, his decisiveness, and courage to everyone.

An Wenxing had always been perceived as a gentle and graceful young man, a figure likely to be liked by everyone. However, as a family leader, he lacked boldness.

Yet, his confrontation with Wu Di had shown everyone An Wenxing’s courage, proving to all that he was capable of leading his family from glory to glory.

Apart from An Wenxing, Chu Feng also spotted members of the Tang Family; Tang Xiaoxiao was also present today.

She too was dressed beautifully, but after the recent upheaval, the Tang Family had dramatically declined, to the point where everyone wondered if they could maintain their status among East River’s prestigious families.

As for the Tie Family, Chu Feng did not see anyone from their side. The Tie Family had built its reputation on martial prowess rather than business or politics. But it’s precisely this unique attribute that cemented their position securely among the elite families.

Their martial prowess made them a family to be wary of; for prestigious families, having wealth was one aspect, but the fist was what truly maintained their status.

So although the Tie Family wasn’t wealthy, they had the power of the fist, and this made other families eager to align with them, thus solidifying their place.

Of course, this also limited the development of the Tie Family unless at least five members reached the Xuan Level, dominating all other prestigious families in East River, only then might they possibly ascend to being a grand family.

However, this was obviously very difficult. The Tie Family was now divided. The true martial side was Tie Mu and his father’s side. Even together, the Xuan Level Experts from both sides amounted to only two.

To prestigious families, this did not pose an overwhelming advantage.

The Wu Family, being the host, would not arrive so early, and the Jin Family, now in alliance with the Wu Family, naturally wouldn’t show up so soon either.

However, soon there was a disturbance outside the circle, and the crowd also began to converge in another direction.
