He hadn't thought he would run into Cleo, the second son of the Lewin family—yet another person he knewCleo's attitude was entirely different from before
The fatty wasn't interested in Cleo but just raised the juice glass in his hand to say, ”Young Lord Cleo,” and said nothing elseChen Mu also nodded to hi Lord Cleo”
Cleo didn't seeerly”I never thought I would see MrCao here, which is quite a surpriseIt will be Cleo's co An and MrCao be able to coe ceremony? Chen Mu wasn't sure what that meant, but he wasn't erness in Cleo's eyes also made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he shook his head”I'm very sorry, but I'm busy” Then, he closed his mouthThe fatty's response was stillLord Cleo”
It was hard for Cleo to hide his disappoints, he hurried off
The fatty watched Cleo's back as he left and said conte backward ue and pay no attention to the family propertiesHe's really a stupid fellow!”
When he saw Chen Mu's expression of not understanding, he explained”An aristocratic family like the Leill put on a banquet when the faeThey would also invite some people to look on, and their powerful friends would cheer them onWell, there aren't so many families who still keep that traditionI never would have thought the Leould keep it up”
Between the lines of what the fatty said, there seemed to be some disdain for the tradition
Chen Mu understood a little of thatBut, he didn't have any good feelings about Cleo himself, so he didn't much careEven after he had rescued Cleo, not only had Cleo not treated hiChen Mu respected such a person by keeping hi Chen Mu's expression, the fatty's expression showed that he understoodHe lowered his voice to say, ”The two sons of the Lewin farasp on their affairs, and their decline is a foregone conclusionDoing business with the term”
”What do you mean by that?” Chen Mu was suddenly a little curious
With a et to where we are in business, work it isn't only aand channelsIf one isn't doing good business now and is expecting to grow because of one's current strength, that would be as hard as cli to heavenThe important trend is to cooperate with peopleNo matter what kinds of windfalls you -term income ister brother Cao is worth spending money on!”
Chen Mu was taken aback by what the fatty was sayingHe didn't haveseeard hly”
”No, no, no!” The fatty shook his head like a druht fall over”There's no need for young brother Cao to be sopeople, he's not so far offYoung brother Cao has a calazeOne look can tell a lot; I see your tough temper and authoritative character”
Chen Mu was taken aback againHe had never heard anyone so full of praise for hireeted the fattyHis eyes sharpened as he rushed to apologize to Chen Mu and got up to give his greetingsIt was hard to believe such a fat guy could ility
After the fatty left, Chen Mu was once again alone in the cornerThere was beautifulin the hall, and the waiters would co all the guestsAll of the people froathered in groups of three or fiveThey would soazes toward the center of the hallThose upper-class wo in whispers while their gazes were always hotly cast right toward thereedy eyes as they stared at Butchie in their midst
The stars of the banquet were those two men and that one wo more than a small character, it saved him trouble that no one knew himHe didn't pay any attention to those ould soazes that were just as full of surprise
Such a banquet didn't include rade card artisans were certainly the object of every power's wooing, it would be difficult for theh societyOf course, that was apart fro SixOnce ad Six, that would h society
People like Zu Ning and Jie Yanbai always maintained their even and reserved expressionsThat was a kind of condescension, though no one found it strangeOn the contrary, they felt it was perfectly normalEven Ren Wenzhou took it quite naturally
The was a saying in the federation that only the five flourishi+ng districts and the capital would have any true nobilityIn the eyes of ional despot like Ren Wenzhou was nothing more than a wealthy provincialThey were born with a sense of superiority, and that sense of superiority was stillSix
By coClearly, however, she wasn't the equal of those thether in power or in strength, she wouldn't be any rival to the two of theht have given theht
But, what did that have to do with hi off seven or eight glasses in a breathThe taste of each one was different—quite a bit better than the Sapphire Cloud Running Water he used to drink
As soon as he thought about Sapphire Cloud Running Water, Chen Mu thought about CopperHe didn't knohere he was by then, which turned him melancholy
He remained in the corner that ithout anyone to disturb himQuite a feho had wanted to make friends with Chen Mu left discreetly when they saw Chen Mu's look of not wanting any strangers
After the banquet was over, Chen Mu quietly left, not even seeing those he had spoken with again
When he returned home and opened the door, Chen Mu was taken abackWei-ah was sitting iet back?” Chen Mu went over to Wei-ah's side and sat on the floorSeeing Chen Mu had gotten back, Lu Xiaoru rushed to prepare the tea and so to eat
”Just now” Wei-ah didn't raise his eyelidsChen Mu had just noticed the plain brown-colored little ani him in a desultory fashi+on
”What is that?” Chen Mu asked in curiosityThe small animal was covered in dense brown fur and looked a little bit like a dog, though its body was a lot fatter, which made it look like a brown ball of flesh
Wei-ah shook his head”I don't know”
”You don't know?” Chen Mu's expression went strange”Where did you get it from?” Given Wei-ah's temperament, Chen Mu couldn't quite believe he would buy a sht one hen he was hungry
”I stole it” Wei-ah still hadn't lifted his eyelids as he quietly enjoyed hih; he curled up on Wei-ah's leg, sleeping soundly
”You stole it?” Chen Mu became suddenly interested”Where did you steal it from?”
”Amedal”
”Where is that?” Chen Mu was at a lossLu Xiaoru rushed to connect fro Zheng DistrictIt's about as bustling as Po going to Aht it was incredible when Wei-ah had asked hi to do for him to run over to AmedalChen Mu believed it certainly wasn't because of that brown dog-like ball of flesh
