The matriarch has returned; that spendthrift son is truly daring!

Zhou Yangjun felt a throbbing in his temples and his lips twitched. He pushed the other person aside and warned, "Zhou Yuchen, I'm not waiting for anyone. Shut up. If I hear you utter another word of nonsense, don't blame me for being impolite."

Upon seeing that fierce look, Zhou Yuchen immediately made a zipping motion in front of her mouth with her hand.

Although he was born into the Zhou family, he knew nothing about martial arts and wouldn't even bother to look at it. He loved to play and enjoy himself and was a notorious playboy.

The outside world describes him with four words: ignorant and incompetent.

Although Zhou Yuchen kept her mouth shut, her eyes were shining as she stared at the doorway.

He wanted to see which one could win over Zhou Yangjun, a big shot who was only interested in expanding and strengthening his business.

All three of them, Song Yanbai, Song Yanzhao, and Song Yanzhao, received invitations. Song Yanbai was going abroad to handle some business, so he couldn't go. Song Yanzhao also couldn't go because he had a lot of work to finish.

Song Yanzhou originally didn't plan to go either, since he wasn't really interested in these kinds of banquets anyway. But when he heard that Song Shuyue was going, he immediately tidied his clothes and saw his sister off.

“Yueyue, I’m worried about you going alone. I heard you had a conflict with Zhou Zhimei from the Zhou family last time. They have more people and are more powerful. What if they bully you? So I’m going with you.”

Song Shuyue did not refuse and readily agreed, even having the makeup artist apply light makeup to her.

Zhou Zhiruo was so looking forward to her going, how could she not take it seriously? She picked up the gift, not knowing whether she would like it.

"Yueyue, aren't you cold dressed like that? Do you want to put on a jacket?"

Song Yanzhou looked at his sister's bare shoulders. Although he knew that young girls nowadays loved to look pretty, he thought that wearing such clothes late at night would make her catch a cold.

Song Shuyue glanced at her dress; it was cold, but it was also a bit revealing.

She has never liked clothes that are too revealing, but today it was because the makeup artist coordinated her outfit the whole time, and when she handed the clothes to her...

She changed into it immediately, and only after Song Yanzhou reminded her did she realize that the clothes were indeed a bit revealing.

The makeup artist rushed over, "Miss, miss, you forgot to bring your shawl."

The dress came with a transparent shawl studded with pearls and diamonds. She hadn't noticed for a moment, and the young lady had gone out wearing the dress. She quickly grabbed the shawl.

After draping the cloak over Song Shuyue's shoulders, Song Yanzhou couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, "My sister is so beautiful!"

Song Shuyue smiled faintly and said thank you.

Judging from the curve of her eyes, Song Shuyue was in a very good mood at the moment.

When the two arrived at the banquet, Zhou Zhiruo immediately ran over to Song Shuyue in her high heels.

"Shuyue, Shuyue, you're here! You've finally come! I'm so happy!"

At the banquet, although there were many young ladies and gentlemen from wealthy families, my relationship with them was limited to exchanging a few pleasantries; they could hardly be considered friends.

Now that she finally has a friend, she genuinely wishes her well, and in her presence, she doesn't need to appear so reserved or polite.

Song Shuyue's appearance attracted everyone's attention because she was very beautiful and outstanding.

She has a small, delicate face, fair as snow, refined and aloof, with a small nose and a cool, noble gaze, exuding a powerful aura.

This was the second time Zhou Zhiruo's parents had met this girl, but for some reason, her eyes always gave them a strong sense of intimidation and oppression, as if they didn't belong to someone her age.

As a seasoned player in the dating scene, Zhou Yuchen immediately noticed Song Shuyue, a beauty who was so pretty at such a young age.

Before he could even look for a few seconds, his view was suddenly blocked. Just as Zhou Yuchen was about to push away the person in his way, he looked up and met Zhou Yangjun's ambiguous smile.

I was startled instinctively, and felt the air get colder.

"Brother Zhou, why are you glaring at me like that?" Zhou Yuchen asked, puzzled.

Zhou Yangjun knew what kind of temperament this kid had, and warned him in a cold tone: "Miss Song saved my life. If you dare to make a move on her, don't blame me for ruthlessly castrating you."

Zhou Yuchen shuddered and said with a grin, "Brother Zhou, I do like to have fun, but I would never harm a young girl! How could I possibly do that to someone so young? What kind of person do you take me for?"

Zhou Yangjun said "That's for the best" and then turned and left.

Zhou Yuchen's mind immediately clicked; it turned out that the person Zhou Yangjun cared about was her.

Zhou Zhimei was surprised that Song Shuyue, that little bitch, had also come. Recalling the scene of her falling into the sea in a sorry state and being taught a lesson by Song Shuyue, even losing a tooth, her anger rose rapidly.

Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, I won't let you get away with it!

"This is a gift for you." Song Shuyue handed over the box, which Zhou Zhiruo excitedly accepted with both hands.

Zhou Zhimei strode over and roared angrily, "Song Shuyue! How dare you show your face here! You hit me last time, are you here to die today?"

Zhou Zhimei was not afraid at all. This was Zhou family territory. So what if Song Shuyue was a young lady of the Song family? She was in the right.

The Zhou family did know about what happened last time, and Zhou's parents quickly pulled their daughter's hand, signaling her not to speak.

Zhou Yangjun walked over to Song Shuyue and frowned. "Zhou Zhimei, what are you still making a scene about? Didn't we already make things clear last time? Aren't you ashamed enough? Hurry up and apologize to Miss Song."

She tried to push someone into the sea, but instead fell in herself.

How dare you blame others? You brought this on yourself.

Zhou Zhimei clenched her fists, furious, and continued, "Brother Zhou, why do you always side with her? She knocked out one of my teeth! Do you know how much it hurt me back then!"

Upon hearing that his beloved apprentice had been injured, Zhou Fa rushed forward, asking, "What happened? How did you get hurt? Who could have hurt you!"

Zhou Zhiruo was both angry and anxious. Today was her birthday banquet, and she had specially invited Shuyue to attend. But Zhou Zhimei... deliberately picked a fight in front of her.

Zhou Zhiruo, unable to bear it any longer, reached out and slapped her hard across the face.

"Zhou Zhimei! I won't allow you to talk about my friend like that."

Zhou Zhimei was stunned for a moment, then covered her face in disbelief. She had actually been hit, hit by that good-for-nothing Zhou Zhiruo.

"Enough! Isn't that embarrassing enough? Zhou Zhimei, you go to the backyard right now and don't come any closer!"

Last time, Song Yanbai came to their door with evidence. They could see it clearly in the surveillance video: Zhou Zhimei was trying to harm someone, but she ended up losing more than she gained.

Seeing her father's sinister face, Zhou Zhimei could only swallow her anger and leave for the time being.

As Zhou Zhimei's good friend, Gu Yuqing naturally offered comfort, and after a while, she offered a suggestion.

"Xiao Mei, everyone knows that your Zhou family is a family of martial arts masters. Last time, she injured you because of a sneak attack. If you two were to have a fair fight, preferably on the life-or-death stage, I believe she would definitely be no match for you."
