Chapter 7: Zhou Family’s Banquet
At first, I thought I would be so nervous that I wouldn’t even be able to get a wink of sleep. After all, I had ruined tomorrow.
As a result, I really underestimated myself.
I just touched the pillow and fell asleep right away. I even had a sweet dream. In my dream, I had found my destined person at the banquet.
The next day, the housekeeper came and knocked on my door before I was able to wake up.
“Young master, Master and Madam have returned. Do you need help preparing yourself now?”
I’m usually a very nice person, but I really don’t feel like getting up. So even if the butler plans to destroy my dream, I won’t get angry.
I sat on the bed in a daze for a while before letting the butler and maids come in to clean me up.
When I was ready, I stood in front of the mirror.
Hm? Who is this? Oh my God, who is this?
Isn’t this Jiang Fengqi?
Tsk tsk tsk, how come you’re this handsome?
My attire today was more formal than yesterday, the current one giving me an elegant and mature look. Low-key yet luxurious.
Hey, really… I can’t help but forgive God every time I stand in front of the mirror.
I picked up the perfume bottle on the table and sprayed a little bit of it in the air.
This was the perfume with the inhibitory effect that my mother brought back for me.
Ah, like a cedar in the mountains, cold and noble.
It seemed that my look gave off the impression of a proud and aloof young master. Not that it matters.
Anyway, my dad was also an iceberg. And so were my big brother and my little brother. In short, the Jiang family was a group of snow foxes in the eyes of the public.
Beautiful and cold.
I asked the maid to spray me with perfume. After that, I walked out of my room to find my parents.
“Wow, so handsome! Do you like the perfume?” My mother was also dressed up today. She came over and hugged me, “It’s all because of the Zhou family. They didn’t say anything about the banquet in advance. So, I could only choose one in a hurry and brought it back.”
“Thank you, mom. I like the perfume very much. Can you still smell my pheromones?”
My dad stopped me as soon as I wanted to get nearer.
He didn’t even try to smell it before saying, “It doesn’t smell. Let’s go.”
I flattened my mouth. It doesn’t smell, but why is your face saying otherwise. Perhaps if my rotten egg pheromone got exposed at the banquet later, you’d just drive me out of the Jiang family household?
“Xiao Feng, don’t be nervous, okay. The media will be there when you arrive at the venue later. You just need to copy your dad’s cold face all the way. There will be no more cameras once you enter the venue.”
Sure enough, only mothers are good in this world
When our group arrived at the door of the Zhous’ manor, I took a look in the car. It was estimated that the media from the whole empire were all here. Look at those cameras.
Indeed, it is worthy of the Zhou family. This much influence…
Oh, I forgot to say! The Zhou family is a household of military aristocrats. Alphas of the Zhou family are all high-ranking members of the army, while the omegas are all political magnates.
Moreover, the lovers of the Zhou family’s eldest young master and second young master are currently both top-ranked celebrities in the empire entertainment circle.
Half of the media at this door must be for those two people.
I saw that almost everyone at the banquet had female companions. There was only me alone who followed my parents to the red carpet.
To be honest, if I didn’t dress well, didn’t have a good temperament, or looked good, I would really look like my father’s secretary, my mother’s bodyguard, and maybe even their servant.
In short, I am only an extra.
The husband and wife pair in front of me suddenly stopped for a while to tidy up their ties and then posed for the camera. It looked like the two of them enjoyed the feeling of getting the crowd’s attention. They completely forgot about me! This was supposed to be my first public appearance!
Initially, I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to grasp the essence of my dad’s cold face.
If reports about me appear in the headlines tomorrow, those photos of my world-weary face should definitely come from a sincere place in my heart.
At first, a reporter wanted to get a few words for an interview, but my mom kept looking at my dad, and my dad kept his face stone cold. And so, I also held my face, readily playing a knight. Yet, the microphone was silently taken back before I managed to get a hold of it.
When we were about to enter the manor, my mother, finally remembered her son at that moment. So, she stretched out her other hand and took me.
Our family of three left behind the media with a joyous and harmonious back view.
That’s great. I suppose tomorrow I won’t be seeing the title, “Jiang Family Appears for the First Time, Family Relationship is Suspected to be in Hot Waters.”
Anyway, the media was still tolerable compared to the people I have to face after entering the venue. They were of great importance.
They were all the elites of the empire. Although my dad said that he couldn’t smell my rotten egg smell at all, I was still a little nervous!
My dad went to exchange greetings with his business partners. At the same time, I was taken away by my mother to meet those rich wives.
Where I received their unanimous praise afterward.
“Wow, Xiao Feng is so handsome. No wonder you keep hiding him!”
“As expected of your and Master Jiang’s son!”
“He doesn’t seem that young, indeed very good-looking. Why haven’t you married yet?”
Huh? I think I just heard a discordant voice mixed in there.
I looked up and found a jewelry box with heavy makeup and ordinary looks.
I’m really not exaggerating. This madam, she is full of jewelry all over her body.
She folded her arms and looked down at me.
“Did you know that the empire is going to implement the Lavelle policy this year?” My mother said to her with a glass of wine in her hand, and she was all smiles.
The madam tilted her head and clinked, “I didn’t know. Why should that matter to me?”
“Yeah, why should it matter to you?” My mother smiled for a brief second before giving the madam a cold glance in the next second.
Then, she took me away.
Wow, hello mom, you’re so alpha!
“Mom, what’s the Lavelle’s policy? Why don’t I know about it.” I asked my mother in a low voice.
My mother stood on tiptoes and whispered in my ear, “I made it up.”
She gave me a wink.
Ah, my mother is so cute!
At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd.
“This is the youngest son of the Zhou family, right?”
“It should be. Look at him coming down from the second floor. Next to him is the eldest young master Zhou.”
“It must be. The two brothers look alike.”
“I heard that today’s banquet is to celebrate this little young master Zhou’s birthday. That’s why they invited so many people.”
Oh, what kind of godly young master, to have such a big face.
My mother and I were eating fruit in the self-service area when we heard these comments from the direction of the stairs. But we were a little far away and couldn’t see clearly.
I can only see a little of his silhouette, but why does this person seem so familiar?
