The ring connects the past and present, the exiled prince worships me as a god

The Zhou family’s development to this day is inseparable from the brains and methods of Mr. Zhou. Now that Mr. Zhou is celebrating his 88th birthday, it has caused a sensation in the whole city.

When Song Nian and Zhou Hui arrived at the venue, the banquet was already surrounded by guests, and there were countless luxury cars outside the door.

"Almost all the important people are here, so you say it would be embarrassing if I just picked a random dance partner tonight."

Zhou Hui took two glasses of champagne and whispered in Song Nian's ear. Although he was the eldest son of the Zhou family, all the elders of the Zhou family were there, and it was not his turn as a junior to socialize, so naturally no one would pay special attention to him.

Song Nian ignored him because she saw two people she didn't want to see from the moment she entered the venue.

Song Jin and Li Lin.

"Why are they here?"

Logically speaking, the Song family's status would not be appreciated by the Zhou family. In the past, Song Jin tried in many ways to make friends with the Zhou family but was rejected. How could he get the opportunity in such a big occasion today?

"This... maybe the Zhou family has some kind of recent collaboration with the Song family? Who knows? Come, Song Nian, have something to eat first. In this kind of situation, everyone is trying to curry favor with each other and have their own agenda, but you can't fill your stomach. But it's different when you follow me."

Zhou Hui hurriedly blocked Song Nian's sight, then pulled her to the private room on the second floor.

He had arranged a private chef there in advance, and had already prepared simple yet exquisite meals waiting for him.

"Young Master."

When the chef and the servant saw Zhou Hui coming in with a beautiful girl, they knew it was time for them to leave. They closed the transparent glass door before leaving.

The entire banquet building has been booked by the Zhou family. The third floor and above are the lounges, and the second floor is the best viewing spot. Half of it is reserved for friends who have a good relationship with the Zhou family, and the other half is reserved for family members.

Zhou Hui grabbed this room early so that Song Nian could fill his stomach as soon as he arrived.

"Thank you."

It took her five hours to change her equipment and travel back and forth. She was already hungry. She didn't bother to be polite with Zhou Hui at this moment. She just kept staring at the calligraphy and painting she brought. She felt a little nervous, afraid that Grandpa Zhou would not like it, or that someone would see through her.

During the dinner, Li Lin held Song Jin's arm, and the couple took the opportunity to exchange contact information with the guests present. Song Jin was even more happy to have made friends with many upper-class people today.

But when he saw Song Nian, his brows furrowed.

"Why is Xiao Nian here too?"

Li Lin followed his gaze upwards, her good mood instantly shattered. "Hmph, your daughter is just a social butterfly. She can curry favor with the Zhou Hui. Isn't this place free for her to come and go as she pleases?"

Knowing that Li Lin was being jealous, Song Jin didn't expose her. He put one hand around her waist and looked at her graceful figure wrapped in a tight dress with a smile in his eyes. "That's good. This will better bind the relationship between my Song family and the Zhou family. Otherwise, how do you think I could bring you here today? How would these people here be so kind as to drink the wine I toast you with?"

Ever since he'd learned that Mr. Zhou was hosting a banquet for his 88th birthday, he'd been trying to figure out how to get in. That day, Zhou Hui had offered him a partnership, and he'd taken the opportunity to extort money. Today, when he arrived at the banquet hall, someone Zhou Hui had arranged in advance to introduce him to Mr. Zhou. Although the old man looked at him with disdain and disdain, he at least stayed in the Zhou family's private room for five minutes.

Everyone present was a smart person. They quickly smelled the scent and came towards him.

Song Jin seized the opportunity and took Li Lin to drink and chat with others, and even pushed Li Lin out when necessary.

"Contact the guy surnamed Liu for me tomorrow. If you can get the big order from the Liu family this year, it will be a great achievement for you." Song Jin said in Li Lin's ear, and his hands pinched her waist restlessly, making Li Lin feel itchy and unbearable.

"You old jerk, don't you see where you are?"

Although Li Lin was angry, she softened when he found her sensitive spot. She pretended to be arrogant and said, "Humph, now you know you can use me. You didn't show any mercy with the whip in your hand a few days ago."

"It's not okay that I was wrong, I know I was wrong."

Song Jin hurriedly apologized, after all, he needed her now.

"What's the use of you being wrong? I can forgive you, but what about our Xiao Lai? Do you know that she locked herself in the room and cried for three whole days?"

Li Lin snorted. After that day, she and Song Jin slept in separate rooms, but the old pervert came to the guest room that night and gave her a lot of trouble. He apologized, coaxed her, and even gave her two bags worth six figures. Otherwise, how could she give up?

But Xiao Lai hated him so much that he couldn't forgive him in a short time.

"I'm being so humble now, all for the sake of giving you and your daughter a better future. Xiao Lai will understand me."

Song Jin didn't want to say more about this, because he saw Zhou Hui being very attentive to Song Nian, thinking of countermeasures in his mind, and hurried to the private room on the second floor.

"Where are you going?" Li Lin wanted to hold him back.

"If our good daughter can really marry into the Zhou family, it will be more beneficial than harmful to me. Since she can still be used, of course she must be squeezed dry before being dealt with." Song Jin is a businessman, and he knows very well how to maximize profits.

So, when he came to the private room and saw Song Nian for the first time, he showed his deep father-daughter love.

"Xiao Nian? It's really you. Dad thought he was seeing things."

Song Jin deliberately raised his voice, which immediately attracted the attention of many people below.

"Mr. Zhou is truly devoted to my little Nian. As a father, I am deeply moved."

Zhou Hui was very unhappy to be disturbed by two uninvited guests, but this man was Song Nian's father, and the two of them were working together. Even though he knew that the old man was using him to attract attention, Zhou Hui couldn't get angry.

"Uncle Song, you're too polite. Xiao Nian and I are classmates and good friends. It's my honor that he agreed to be my female companion today."

Zhou Hui made arrangements and Song Jin sat down beside Song Nian. As if the recent house arrest had never happened, Song Jin lovingly took Song Nian's hand and said, "Xiao Nian, I'm relieved to have someone as devoted as Mr. Zhou. You must cherish him."

The people below, who were already curious, were whispering to each other as if they had discovered some huge secret.

Song Nian snorted inwardly, glanced at Zhou Hui apologetically, and immediately refused bluntly, "Dad, you misunderstood. Zhou Hui and I are just good friends. I already have someone I like."

This one sentence instantly made Song Jin's face turn pale.

He watched helplessly as the people below who had wanted to come up and curry favor with him suddenly dispersed.

Song Jin had never felt so embarrassed before.

But in order to maintain his fatherly image, he tried his best to control his emotions, "But Zhou Hui seems to be a good kid to me. Xiao Nian should seize the opportunity and not let him down. If possible, I agree that you two can..."

"When will it be the Song family's turn to decide the marriages of the men of my Zhou family?"
