Chapter 295
His speech was not too long or too short. At the end of it, he raised the glass in his hand and the banquet officially began.
The MC took the stage again and the show started.
Zhang Yu Han alighted the stairs and walked over to his wife and daughter.
His wife leaned over to whisper a few words to him. In the slightly dark corner, the couple kissed briefly before they parted.
Zhang Yu Han flashed a smile at his wife before he walked over to a slightly broad area. Soon, a few business partners who wanted to see him came over. Zhang Yu Han dragged his daughter around and introduced her as the next heir.
Seeing that the pretty lady was going to inherit the family business, a few of them became more interested in Zhang Li Xue.
They knew that Zhang Yu Han loved his daughter very much, but that did not stop them from wanting to get close to her. The young men wanted to pursue her while the older men planned to introduce her to their son.
However, they had to turn around in disappointment when Zhang Li Xue told them that she was already in a relationship.
.....
Only a few of them stayed around, wanting to try their luck.
In their opinion, as long as she was not married, they still had the chance.
Mu Zhen Yu was watching this scene from a distance. He could not help but chuckle. He knew what those men wanted to do, but he also knew that they would not stand a chance.
“Brother, dad is looking for you.”
Mu Zhen Yu turned at the voice and saw his younger brother, Mu Zhen Lin beside him. He did not answer his brother’s words but continued to look at Zhang Li Xue from afar.
Seeing that his brother was not answering him, Mu Zhen Lin followed his brother’s line of gaze. A sigh escaped him once he noticed that his brother was looking at Zhang Li Xue.
The lady looked especially beautiful.
“Brother, are you still unable to let it go?” Mu Zhen Lin asked. He knew that his brother had feelings for Zhang Li Xue. However, the man had never told the girl what he felt until a few months ago.
Mu Zhen Lin heard that his brother was rejected.
Later, he heard the rumor from his circle of friends that Zhang Li Xue was in a relationship with a good-looking man.
Mu Zhen Lin understood why his brother has been in a foul mood recently. He thought that his brother was pitiful. But, his brother too was an idiot. He really could not understand why his brother had to keep his feeling buried for a few years before he decided to tell the girl.
“I have liked her for years,” Mu Zhen Yu spoke. “It’s not that easy for me to let it go.”
“But Sister Li Xue is already in a relationship,” Mu Zhen Lin spoke. “I heard from the others that their relationship was quite good.”
Mu Zhen Yu looked up at his brother. “Do you know that person?”
The younger brother shook his head. “A friend of mine had seen them together, but he did not recognize that man. Perhaps he was not from here.” A thought came to his mind and Mu Zhen Lin looked at his brother in worry. “Brother, don’t do anything stupid.”
Mu Zhen Yu snorted. “Do I look like someone who would do something stupid?”
Mu Zhen Lin pursed his lips and did not answer. He truly believed that his brother was capable of doing something stupid.
“I know that I have lost my chance,” Mu Zhen Yu said. “But I can’t stop thinking what if... What if I had told her earlier? Would I still have the chance to be with her?”
Moreover, Mu Zhen Yu was curious to know about the man that Zhang Li Xue was dating. He still finds it strange that the Zhang family had not done anything. Could it be that they had readily accepted that man?
Mu Zhen Yu just wanted to know just what kind of person Zhang Li Xue had fallen in love with.
Seeing that his brother was in an awkward state, Mu Zhen Lin could only heave a sigh. He did not know how to tell his brother that it was too late to regret. Mu Zhen Lin patted his brother on the shoulder and spoke, “Come over and look for dad when you are done.” Once he said those words, Mu Zhen Lin turned around.
Mu Zhen Yu quickly retracted his gaze from Zhang Li Xue.
He was about to leave when he saw Zhang Yi Hai and the triplets at the corner. He recalled the unpleasant interaction with Zhang Yi Hai earlier and planned to leave.
However, Wei Zi Ming shifted slightly to his left at this time. Mu Zhen Yu was shocked when he spotted a familiar face at the center of the boys.
He stared at the face for a long time. His mind was a little chaotic. Mu Zhen Yu could still remember running into this man around his office area not too long ago.
But, why was Bai Qi here?
Subconsciously, Mu Zhen Yu took slow steps in their direction. However, before he could reach their side, his eyes caught the sight of someone heading over to Bai Qi’s side.
The person held Bai Qi’s hand and looked at him with loving eyes.
Mu Zhen Yu was surprised to see that Zhang Li Xue and Bai Qi were together.
His mind went blank.
It took him a while to put the puzzle together. Then, a thought came to his mind.
The look on Mu Zhen Yu’s face changed again. He thought that it was ridiculous, but the scene in front of him showed what he thought was the truth.
The person Zhang Li Xue was dating is... Bai Qi?
The triplets turned quiet when they realized that someone was by their side. They were even more surprised to find that this person was Mu Zhen Yu.
“Brother Mu?” Wei Zi Kai spoke.
Then, Zhang Li Xue finally turned to him. A hint of surprise flashed on her face. However, she quickly recovered and flashed a smile. “Brother Zhen Yu?”
