Chapter 1206: Chapter 1210: Stunning Appearance

Now that Gu Junzhu had graced his Zhou City with her presence and even asked for his help, it was like a gift from heaven.

He, the helmsman of Zhou Corporation, now sat opposite Gu Junzhu, like a little fanboy, asking her about her time in the military.

Gu Junzhu rarely spoke to Ye Xingbei about her service.

From bits and pieces, Ye Xingbei could guess that it was probably because Gu Junzhu had lost comrades during missions.

Military medals are often forged with blood and life.

The fallen heroes died with honor.

Those who survived, while basking in supreme glory, also bore the pain of their comrades’ deaths.

Not wanting to bring it up, Ye Xingbei didn’t ask.

Zhou Shengqian was a smart man, with a tactful way of asking questions, steering clear of any sensitive subjects.

Mostly, they were tales he had heard from his cousin—how Gu Junzhu, like a god of war, had completed impossible missions, or how she had stood her ground alone against many foes.

Gu Junzhu picked some details she could share and told them to him. Zhou Shengqian listened keenly, his eyes shining, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.

After about fifteen minutes, someone knocked and entered, saluting Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei before reporting to Zhou Shengqian, “Second Young Master, everything is almost ready.”

Zhou Shengqian nodded and asked Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei, “Fifth Brother, Fifth Sister-in-law, will you come down with me, or stay here?”

Gu Junzhu hooked her lips into a slight smile, “Fifth Brother and I will just watch from the second floor. This is your show, I can’t steal your thunder.”

Knowing that she usually kept a low profile and seldom made public appearances, Zhou Shengqian didn’t insist. He smiled and stood up, “Then, I’ll wait for the good news from Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law.”

Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei also stood up and left the room with Zhou Shengqian.

Lou Ning was already waiting outside.

Zhou Shengqian gave him a smile and a nod, “Let’s go.”

Lou Ning nodded, following by his side.

Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei walked to the balustrade overlooking the courtyard.

The corridor lighting on the second floor was dimmed. Standing by the balustrade, they could oversee the entire lobby on the first floor, yet the people below couldn’t see them.

Ye Xingbei looked down and said with a smile, “Standing here feels like being a cut above, overseeing everything.”

Gu Junzhu wrapped her arms around her shoulders, chuckling softly, “That’s why money and power are coveted. Everyone wants them; with money and power, you can do whatever you desire.”

Ye Xingbei hummed in agreement, sighing, “Now I believe it, ninety-nine percent of the problems in this world can be solved with money.”

Like Lou Ning’s issue.

Lou Ning, in dire straits, was forced to work as a gigolo at the Blue Moon Bar, wasn’t it all due to lack of money?

If Lou Ning had wealth like Gu Junzhu, what would An Zhenglin amount to?

Therefore, she must earn a lot of money!

When she had earned a lot of money, she wanted to give Gu Junzhu gifts too—buy him the best diamond watches, the latest model luxury cars, spending big without a second thought. How exhilarating that must feel!

Ye Xingbei gazed at the floor below, once again dreaming of wealth, her eyes shining like stars.

In the lobby on the first floor, the symphony orchestra stopped playing.

The guests, who were mingling and conversing enthusiastically, fell silent in a moment of unspoken agreement, turning their attention to the direction of the spiral staircase.

On the majestic marble staircase, adorned with carvings, Zhou Shengqian, with a smiling young boy in tow, descended from above.
