Chapter 486: Chapter 486: Qin Family Banquet!

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Fei’er asked curiously,

"What’s up? Do you have something to do?"

Zhou Yu gave a wry smile and said,

"Yeah, I promised to do a favor for someone, and I almost forgot."

"Fei’er, Old Zhao is already fine, he’ll recover after one day of rest."

"Then I’m leaving first."

After leaving the Zhao family’s home, Zhou Yu let out a slight sigh of relief.

Even he didn’t know why, but he had instinctively refused Qin Lan’s offer to come pick him up just now.

He took a taxi and headed straight for the Qin family.

An hour later, Zhou Yu stepped through the gates of the Qin family’s villa.

Today was a family banquet at the Qin family, so naturally, the place was bustling with excitement.

As Zhou Yu entered the gate, he saw several luxury cars parked in the courtyard, one of which bore a Shanghai license plate.

Zhou Yu only glanced at them before walking inside.

He had just reached the entrance when he saw Qin Lan coming out.

Today, Qin Lan was wearing an off-white bandeau dress.

The top of the dress was level with her shoulders, revealing a glimpse of her delicate collarbones and a subtle hint of cleavage.

The bottom part just passed the knees, showcasing her slender calves, flawless as jade.

Her crystal high-heels added to her tall and elegant stature.

This outfit was neither revealing nor lacking in sexiness, perfectly displaying her long figure and voluptuous body. At a glance, it was hard to take one’s eyes off her.

Seeing Zhou Yu’s stunned gaze, Qin Lan couldn’t help but reveal a delighted look in her eyes.

She gracefully approached Zhou Yu and did a twirl in front of him.

"Do I look good?"

Zhou Yu snapped back to reality and touched his nose.

"Very pretty."

"Hee hee!"

Women dress to please those they fancy.

Her efforts in dressing up so meticulously today weren’t in vain.

Qin Lan happily hooked her arm through Zhou Yu’s.

"Come on, let’s go inside."

Qin Lan led Zhou Yu into the villa.

At this moment, the villa’s living room was filled with people.

These were all relatives of the Qin family.

Next to the living room, there was a table with many gifts placed on it.

Just then, Zhou Yu suddenly paused, his gaze instantly shifting to an exquisitely wrapped box atop the gift table.

"Golden Yuan Fruit!"

Zhou Yu had never expected to sense the presence of the Golden Yuan Fruit here.

He immediately released his Divine Sense to probe inside the beautifully wrapped box.

Inside the box, three types of medicinal ingredients were neatly arranged.

The one in the middle was the Golden Yuan Fruit he had long coveted.

He never imagined encountering the Golden Yuan Fruit in this place.

He was thrilled.

As Zhou Yu withdrew his Divine Sense, he noticed a name on the box.

"With respects from the Shanghai Lian family."

The Shanghai Lian family?

At that moment, Qin Lan whispered to him,

"Zhou Yu, do you see the people sitting on the sofa over there?"

Zhou Yu followed Qin Lan’s gaze.

He saw three people sitting on a sofa.

One of them was naturally Qin Dingbang.

Another was a middle-aged man who seemed a few years younger than Qin Dingbang.

Besides them, there was a young man, around thirty years old.

"The two of them, one is my uncle, his name is Yi Xiaoliang, and the other is a prospective suitor my uncle wants to introduce to me, I think his name is something like Lian Yiyang."

Lian Yiyang?

Could it be that the box containing the golden Yuan fruit was a gift from him?

"I really dislike that Lian Yiyang; there’s something about his gaze that always seems lecherous to me."

"You’ve got to back me up in a bit, okay?"

Zhou Yu nodded.

"Okay, I understand."

Qin Lan, arm in arm with Zhou Yu, walked over.

"Dad, Zhou Yu is here."

The three men were talking and, upon hearing Qin Lan’s voice, all looked up simultaneously.

Qin Dingbang chuckled and stood up proactively.

"Zhou Yu is here, come over here and have a seat."

Both Yi Xiaoliang and Lian Yiyang’s expressions darkened.

The way Qin Lan leaned on Zhou Yu was too intimate.

Yi Xiaoliang spoke up.

"Lan’er, who is he?"

Qin Lan smiled and said,

"Uncle, I forgot to introduce him to you, he’s my boyfriend, Zhou Yu."

Yi Xiaoliang’s expression turned completely sour.

"Lan’er, isn’t this nonsense?"

"Since when did you have a boyfriend, and how come I didn’t know about it?"

Qin Lan raised her eyebrows, displaying a look of surprise.

"Eh, Uncle, didn’t my dad tell you?"

Qin Dingbang felt a twitch at the corner of his eye and secretly grimaced.

This girl is really putting me on the spot.

But there was no helping it, he had to jump into the pit his daughter had dug.

Qin Dingbang said with a smile,

"Xiaoliang, you see, I’ve been so busy lately that I completely forgot about this girl starting to date."

"My mistake, my fault."

Upon hearing this, Lian Yiyang immediately regarded Zhou Yu with hostility.

Especially seeing Qin Lan snuggled up next to Zhou Yu, there was even jealousy and anger in his eyes.

At that moment, Yi Xiaoliang patted Lian Yiyang, signaling him not to get angry.

Then, he turned his attention to Qin Lan.

"Lan’er, your marriage is a matter that should be decided by your mother and us; but since your mother passed away early, I, as your uncle, have no choice but to speak out."

"You must understand that your status is not that of an ordinary person, neither our Qin family nor the Yi family are average families."

"Therefore, whether finding a boyfriend or a husband, you must choose carefully and not act on a whim."

Qin Lan replied with a smile,

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle."

Yi Xiaoliang furrowed his brows, casting a glance at Zhou Yu.

"Lan’er, what I mean is you should seek someone of equal social standing, not just anyone."

Although it was his first time seeing Zhou Yu,

he was well aware of the top powers in Qin state, whether it was the seven major families, the several large commerce alliances, or the state government officials; none had the surname Zhou.

Qin Lan seemed not to understand what Yi Xiaoliang meant at all as she tilted her head, leaning on Zhou Yu’s shoulder, and said cheerfully,

"Uncle, I understand."

Yi Xiaoliang was exasperated.

"Are you playing dumb, girl?"

"Always brushing me off, do I really have to spell it out for you..."

At this point, Qin Dingbang stepped in to smooth things over.

"Xiaoliang, the younger generation is not like ours; to them, matching social statuses is an old-fashioned idea. They don’t care about it anymore."

"What I mean is, let the young people decide on their own affairs."

"How can that be acceptable? Both our families are not ordinary, and Lan’er will shoulder a great responsibility in the future. Her husband cannot be a nobody."

After saying this, Yi Xiaoliang turned to Zhou Yu and interrogated,

"Your name is Zhou Yu, right? What is your educational background? How is your career going?"
