Beijing Colors Lingering

When Shen Jinsui and her group arrived at the hotel's rooftop restaurant, Yi Hang immediately saw Pei Yinzi and Shen Jinsui walking towards them together, chatting.

His expression suddenly froze for a moment. When did these two become friends?

However, he immediately thought of Pei Yinzi's blind date with Cheng Yi a while ago, so it was normal for them to have contact.

Afterwards, Pei Yinzi introduced several of her friends to Shen Jinsui and the others.

Shen Jinsui nodded politely and looked at Pei Yinzi's friends, who had all attended her birthday party before.

Besides Yi Hang, one of them was Fu Yuhuai, a senior she met in college.

Since they were both from Beijing, they would occasionally bump into each other at friends' gatherings, so they were just nodding acquaintances.

Seeing Shen Jinsui looking at Fu Yuhuai, Pei Yinzi asked her in a low voice, "Do you two know each other?"

“Yes, he used to study at the same university as me,” Shen Jinsui replied.

Pei Yinzi continued, "He is Fu Yueyan's younger brother and is now the head of the Fu family."

Shen Jinsui was a little surprised to hear this. She didn't know much about Fu Yuhuai's family background and didn't expect that he was Fu Yueyan's younger brother.

Shen Jinsui had heard about the recent events in the Fu family, where an illegitimate son who suddenly returned to the country became the head of the entire Fu family.

If that's the case, then Fu Yuhuai is the illegitimate son of the Fu family.

According to Shen Jinsui's understanding, a large part of the reason why Pei Yinzi dislikes Pei Chiyu so much is because of his status as an illegitimate child.

However, Pei Yinzi has now become friends with Fu Yuhuai.

Pei Yinzi quickly noticed Shen Jinsui's slightly puzzled and confused look, and could roughly guess what the other was thinking.

She explained in a low voice, seemingly unconcerned: "The Pei family and the Fu family have always had close business cooperation. It's all about interests. Besides, Fu Yuhuai and I both have people we dislike."

Shen Jinsui naturally understood what she meant, so she didn't continue the conversation.

Meanwhile, in Beijing...

When Cheng Yu arrived at the FS top racing club, he learned that Zhou Yancong was still racing on the track.

He immediately looked ahead, where the sports car was maintaining a visible high speed, as if it were venting something.

Cheng Yu pondered for a moment, then asked, "How long did he drive?"

“I’ve run several laps,” Ye Jinwen shrugged in response.

Xu Tingzhou shook his head and then complained, "Zhou Yancong looks like he's courting death today."

He Sinian raised an eyebrow and guessed, "Could it be that he's troubled by love?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Minglang casually asked, "Was he dumped by his fiancée?"

Immediately afterwards, everyone's eyes fell on Cheng Yu.

"I'm not clear on the specifics either." Cheng Yu glanced around at them, then his gaze sharpened.

At this point, he was completely certain that his sister and Zhou Yancong had had a conflict a few days earlier.

My sister has been staying at the old house this week and hasn't gone to work in Nebula; she's chosen to work from home instead.

Even her grandparents noticed that something was wrong with her, but they didn't dare to ask her in detail. Instead, they quietly came to ask her.

Cheng Yu had been busy with work all week and had no chance to meet Zhou Yancong, so he was unaware of the specific situation.

However, he reassured his grandparents that he would take care of everything and would never let his younger sister suffer even the slightest grievance.

Cheng Yu came here specifically to find Zhou Yancong today, hoping to find out what exactly happened between him and his sister.

At that moment, the sports car sped across the finish line, accompanied by the roar of the accelerator, the sound of the engine, and the screeching of the tires.

The sports car then turned off and came to a smooth stop.

Zhou Yancong unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, and then took off his helmet and gloves.

Seeing this, the staff member waiting nearby took the things from his hands and then handed him a towel and a water bottle.

Next, the group headed towards the club's private rooms.

In the spacious and luxurious private room, after the waiter left, Cheng Yu looked up at Zhou Yancong and asked directly, "Did you and Sui Sui have a fight a few days ago?"

Zhou Yancong's eyes were like deep, dark pools. He truthfully replied, "Yes, I made her unhappy."

Cheng Yu frowned slightly and continued to ask, "Then what did you do?"

Zhou Yancong pursed his lips slightly, but did not answer his question.

Seeing that he was unwilling to explain the reason, Cheng Yu scoffed. In this respect, he was similar to Sui Sui. They really were a tacit couple.

After pondering for a while, Cheng Yu slowly spoke, his tone full of meaning: "There have always been many people pursuing my sister. You have to hurry up and win her back, otherwise my brother-in-law position will be replaced sooner or later."

Zhou Yancong gave Cheng Yu a cold glance, his deep voice filled with unwavering confidence: "I won't change the person."

At this moment, Qi Minglang suddenly placed his phone in front of Zhou Yancong, "This is a video my brother just sent me."

Zhou Yancong's gaze fell on the phone screen, and his expression softened instantly.

In the video, Shen Jinsui is opening champagne. She is wearing a red halter dress and has a bright, sunny smile on her face, like a vibrant red rose. She is surrounded by girls and boys of similar age.

Qi Minglang, recalling the message Qi Mingyuan had just sent, then embellished the story with fabricated details: "I heard from my brother that Shen Jinsui met a senior from university she knows today, the one from the Fu family. My brother said that the guy is quite good-looking, he's about the same age as Shen Jinsui, and they have a lot in common and chatted happily."

The fact that the Fu family has recently been seized power by an illegitimate son is no secret in Beijing, so everyone present knew who he was talking about.

After hearing Qi Minglang's words, Zhou Yancong's face instantly darkened, and he glared at him with eyes as sharp as knives.

Qi Minglang shrugged and said nothing more.

Qi Mingyuan only mentioned it casually, and the actual situation was not as he described.

He said that just now only to help his brother get out of his love-struck state as soon as possible. The Zhou Yancong of the past was not interested in women and was decisive and ruthless in his actions.

How could it have looked like this before?

Xu Tingzhou and He Sinian both glanced at the phone screen with a hint of curiosity, secretly thinking that Qi Minglang was just someone who wanted to stir up trouble.

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Ye Jin glanced at his phone screen and then looked at Zhou Yancong, immediately saying, "I'm going to Macau to pick up Ah Ning tomorrow afternoon, Mr. Zhou, why don't you come with me?"

Zhou Yancong glanced at him and said coldly, "I was planning to pick her up in Macau tomorrow anyway."

He Sinian raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly, saying, "You two take me with you, I want to go too."

Xu Tingzhou mocked him upon hearing this: "They are two couples, what are you, a single dog, doing there as a third wheel?"

"Can't I be the guardian of their love?" He Sinian replied nonchalantly.

Xu Tingzhou stared at He Sinian with a look of disdain, clicked his tongue, and sneered, "Does someone else's love need you to protect it?"

He Sinian was too lazy to pay attention to Xu Tingzhou anymore, and gave him a look that said, "You don't understand anything."

At that moment, Zhou Yancong picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp. Then he stood up and said in a low voice, "I'm leaving first. You guys continue having fun."

When Cheng Yu saw Zhou Yancong leave the private room, he followed him outside.
