Chapter 55 - The Banquet II (1/2)

However before one of them could voice out their praise, Linfeng came on the platform holding a musical instrument and a small chair, he sat beside Xiong Zhi. Some men in dark blue robes came and brought small chairs and small tables in front and the sides, surrounding Xiong Zhi and Linfeng. Some girls and boys wearing dark green robes also come out with different musical instrument.

This made the guest startled. It was not yet done? What is the young miss about to do?

Old Xiong just quirked his brow and waited what kind of show his granddaughter were planning.

The praises that was about to erupt were instantly replaced by wonder.

Looks liked the young miss was not yet done.

But....the handsome man beside her, was that her aide? What he was doing sitting beside the young miss? Holding an instrument? Was he about to perform together with the young miss?

They all wondered.

If it was the case, then it would be a big issue. Everyone knows that the Zhou family were serving the Xiong family for generations. Even though the Zhou family was a prestigious family they were still under the Xiong. So the scene they were witnessing right now were uncomfortable for the Xiong. They all looked at the Old Xiong and waited for his reaction.

Old Xiong just squinted his eyes.

' What is Zhi'er doing? '

He did not discriminate the Zhou family, but it was on their family tradition for generations to be served by the Zhou. People who witnessed this might thought that Xiong Zhi was planning to break the treaty between the two families and raised the position of the Zhou or lower the Xiong for the Zhou.

Mr. Zhou at the side could not help himself but leaned and whisper to the Old Xiong.

”Sir, do you want me to stop them?”

If this continues, the reputation of the young miss would be tainted. Rumors would spread about her. Mr. Zhou looked at the elders, they were all frowning.

”...no. Let Zhi'er do her play...” Old Xiong said.

If she got in trouble, this old man would not help her. He already warned her about the cruelty of the business world.

Xiong Wuyue heard the murmurs and saw the frowning face of the elders made her happy. She was jealous at first seeing two of them together in the platform, but when she saw the reactions of the guests and elders made her feel agitated and excited to witness Xiong Zhi being scolded at. She was ready to add fuel in the fire.

(A/n: add fuel in the fire, means that Xiong Wuyue was panning to made the elders more eager to scold and punished Xiong Wuyue by her statements. You get what I mean right?)

***[RR: We dooo...we read a lot of CN, transmigration, rebirth, otome games, you name it. So shut up.]***

(A/n: I miss you...)

***[RR: you mean, you miss yourself right?]***

(A/n:...)

However, since the Old Xiong was silent and not reprimanding Xiong Zhi, the elders and the guests, especially her, Xiong Wuyue, the miss from the other branch had no right to speak about it first.

So all of them, just watched the show.

Xiong Zhi did not care about their opinions, she looked at Linfeng first checking if he was affected by their look of accusation.

Linfeng was very handsome holding an Erhu. He was checking the strings when he also glanced at her. He let out an assuring smile.
