The villas in the eastern suburbs gather all kinds of people. The big families in Shanghai live in the center, and most other forces surround them. This is an unwritten rule. Especially outside forces, they must give face to the three major families.
At the edge of the villa complex, there was a compound villa with a huge garden. A Porsche drove up, and Li Manyu got down and walked in under the leadership of the housekeeper. Five minutes later, two luxury cars parked near the Porsche, Zhuge
The head of the family, Zhuge Feng, walked out slowly and glanced at the Porsche number plate, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Dad, let's go in." Zhuge Xiongfeng got out of the passenger seat and said.
Zhuge Feng nodded, helped his son tidy up his clothes, and said, "When you go in later, be careful. Come today to see the world, and interact more with other young people."
"Yes, dad." Zhuge Xiongfeng nodded, "Let's go in, someone will come to greet us."
Whether it was Li Manyu or Zhuge Feng, they were all greeted by the same person. What they greeted was an old man, over sixty years old, energetic, wearing black cloth clothes and old-fashioned cloth shoes, as if he had walked out from fifty years ago. But.
Even so, no one made excuses, and he was very polite in front of the elderly.
"Master Zhuge, welcome, welcome--" the old man said with a smile.
Zhuge Feng hurriedly held the old man's hand and said loudly: "Old Xiao, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still in good health."
"Come, this is the dog Zhuge Xiongfeng. Xiongfeng has met Mr. Xiao." Zhuge Feng said immediately.
Zhuge Xiongfeng didn't know why his father was so respectful to the old man in front of him, but he still did as he was told, lowered his head and said, "Hello, Mr. Xiao."
Mr. Xiao nodded and said: "The tiger father has no dog sons, and Master Zhuge is so impressive."
Zhuge Feng exchanged a few words with Mr. Xiao and then walked into the villa under his leadership. After a while, two luxury cars arrived, cars belonging to the Nalan family.
The two people who came down were both women. Among them was Nalan Qingshu. Next to her was her mother Nalan Qian. Nalan Qian, the head of the Nalan family, was a woman among women. Her husband died in a car accident three years ago.
, took over the position of patriarch. At that time, the family directly opposed it. Nalan Qian took over the power forcefully and silenced others in just two months. Of course, the biggest reason was that there was someone behind him
The shadow of the Ding family.
"Mom, why did you bring me here?" Nalan Qingshu asked curiously.
Nalan Qian smiled and said: "To see the world, you can meet all the most powerful people in Shanghai tonight. If you are lucky, you can meet many of the legendary seniors."
Nalan Qingshu's eyes flashed and he asked: "Are the other two families coming too?"
"Don't talk too much, Mr. Xiao is here. Remember, be polite to Mr. Xiao. Behind him is someone we can't afford to offend." Nalan Qian knew her daughter's character and didn't respect anyone enough, so she reminded her.
"knew."
Mr. Xiao walked over with a smile and said, "We haven't seen each other for three years, right, Qian'er?"
Nalan Qian said affectionately: "Mr. Xiao also said that he left for three years without saying hello. Now he suddenly comes back and calls everyone for a meeting. Is the meeting over and Mr. Xiao is leaving again?"
Mr. Xiao sighed: "I have no choice. I also want to stay for a few days, but the master has a heavy workload and has no time to stay."
Nalan Qian regretted and said: "If Mr. Xiao has a chance, he must visit Nalan's house as a guest so that Qian'er can fulfill the friendship of a landlord."
Mr. Xiao smiled and said: "This is your wife, she is quite beautiful."
"Hello, Grandpa Xiao, I am Nalan Qingshu." Nalan Qingshu held Old Xiao's arm affectionately and said with a sweet smile, "My mother has been thinking about you, but I didn't expect you to be younger than I thought.
.”
Mr. Xiao shook his head and said: "Girl is really good at talking, better than that boy who just got old. Haha, let's go, everyone inside is almost up."
"Well, please, Mr. Xiao." Nalan Qian said seriously.
Mr. Xiao led the two of them through the corridor and walked into a two-story building behind the door. The building was nearly a thousand square meters, and it was like a conference room. There were many people sitting at this time. The uppermost place was empty, and the most
On the left are the Zhuge family, the Murong family, and the Nalan family. On the left are all the big forces in Shanghai City. The last four chairs are Wu Chong, Xu Jiehui, Gao Xing and other Shanghai Four Tigers. The first four chairs on the right are empty.
.
The strange thing is that Li Manyu is sitting at the fifth table.
Nalan Qingshu looked at the venue curiously and found that the people in the room were indeed big shots. The last ones were the Four Tigers of Shanghai who could make earthquakes happen just by stamping their feet outside. Next to her was Zhuge Xiongfeng. Zhuge Xiongfeng showed helplessness.
His expression clearly showed that he didn’t like this kind of situation.
"Where is your brother?" Zhuge Xiongfeng asked.
"I'm thinking about my faults in front of the wall at home." Nalan Qingshu said angrily, "I've been hanging around with you all day, and I got into trouble yesterday."
"Ah! How could this happen?" Zhuge Xiongfeng asked in shock, "Is Nalanjie okay?"
Nalan Qingshu frowned and said, "Don't pretend, you were there at that time."
Zhuge Xiongfeng blushed slightly and said awkwardly: "I didn't expect that things would become serious and two people would die. Are your family's requirements too high?"
"Xiongfeng!" Zhuge Feng coughed, "Niece Nalan has become beautiful!"
"Thank you uncle for the compliment." Nalan Qingshu smiled.
Nalan Qian glanced at Zhuge Xiongfeng coldly and said, "Brother Zhuge, long time no see."
"Yes, we have had some misunderstandings since he left, and we haven't met each other." Zhuge Feng sighed, "If the adults hadn't called for it, I might not have been able to meet. Qian'er, there is really a misunderstanding about that matter..."
"Stop talking about it, the past is over, I don't want to mention it again." Nalan Qian interrupted. The man Zhuge Feng mentioned was Nalan Qian's husband Nalan Jie. After Nalan Jie's car accident, his wife Zhang Qian
Changed her name to Nalan Qian. Nalan Jie died strangely and suddenly, leaving many doubts.
Zhuge Feng smiled and said: "Qian'er..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were rapid footsteps outside the door, and everyone in the hall suddenly became quiet. One person walked in the front, with a spring breeze on his face, and he was arrogant. It was the third young master.
The arrival of Third Young Master immediately caused most people to stand up and come forward to say hello. Especially Zhuge Xiongfeng walked over excitedly, fearing that others would not know about his friendly relationship with Third Young Master.
“Third Young Master——” Zhuge Xiongfeng said loudly, “Why are you here?”
Third Young Master smiled and said: "Why can't I come? I am also one of you."
Pointing to the four seats on the right, the Third Young Master continued, "The four seats in front were originally prepared for us. It's just a meeting once a year that our big families rarely attend."
Zhuge Xiongfeng suppressed the joy in his heart and asked: "Are there other families?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened and another young man came in.
If Wu Ming were here, he would definitely know this person.
Long Liren actually came here. The four major families, the Ding family, the Long family, the Ba family, and the Zhang family. The super big families that have been passed down for many years have power that ordinary people can’t imagine. Even the oldest family in Shanghai City
In front of him, the Zhuge family is like a beetle under a big tree.
When Long Liren arrived, almost everyone stood up to welcome him, except Li Manyu.
Li Manyu sat quietly on the chair. No matter it was the arrival of the Third Young Master or the appearance of Long Liren, she did not get up.
Long Liren's appearance is very gentle, but from the outside, he is much more approachable than the third young master. He wears a slender tailored suit, which highlights his outstanding temperament.
A cold light flashed in the Third Young Master's eyes, then he put on a happy expression and stepped forward and said: "Young Master Long, you are a rare visitor!"
Long Liren smiled lightly and said: "The third young master is so busy and is here, how could I miss it. I heard that today's meeting was very exciting, and my family told me that I must come."
Third Young Master chuckled: "Me too, I can't help it. It seems that Uncle Long thinks very highly of Young Master Long."
"Each other, each other." Young Master Long said, "Third Young Master, please!"
The Ding family sat on the fourth chair on the right, and Long Liren sat on the third chair. They looked at each other and smiled, and took their seats at the same time.
"Miss Li, do we meet again?" Third Young Master smiled at Li Manyu beside him.
Li Manyu said calmly: "Do the four major families want to join in the fun?"
"Miss Li, please don't joke. According to the unwritten rules, we cannot interfere." Third Young Master chuckled.
Li Manyu sneered: "Really?"
Long Liren saw the conflict between the two and said with a smile: "Miss Li and the Third Young Master seem to have some misunderstandings?"
Third Young Master shook his head and said: "I admire Miss Li very much..."
"Third Young Master is a romantic figure. Miss Li is a fairy in the sky. Third Young Master, you have to be careful." Long Liren interjected, "The old principal has very high requirements for his future grandson-in-law..."
One sentence provoked a conflict between the third young master and Li Manyu, because the third young master once molested Li Manyu. The third young master was shocked when he first met Li Manyu, and he teased her immaturely. Who knew that Li Manyu was notoriously difficult to mess with.
Li Manyu thought of the past, and a cold light flashed in her eyes. Just when Long Liren thought she was about to make a statement, the door opened again.
A man in Chinese tunic suit walked in with a smile.
Everyone stood up and said in unison: "Mr. Guan..."
Wu Chong's eyes flickered, and he carefully observed Mr. Guan's expression. Mr. Guan's origin is mysterious, and only a few people know it. But no one dares to question his ability. Because twenty years ago, when Shanghai was in chaos, Mr. Guan
and several other superpowers to turn the tide. Since then, Shanghai City has held a collective meeting every year to settle the grievances.
Mr. Guan can also be said to be the arbiter of Shanghai City. His power and prestige are unmatched by anyone in Shanghai City at this time.
"Hello Uncle Guan," the third young master said with a smile.
Mr. Guan smiled and said: "Well, yes, I have grown up. When I met you back then, you were only ten years old, and you looked a bit like your father."
Then he turned to Long Liren, and without waiting for him to speak, Mr. Guan said again: "Boy from the Long family, you are here too. If the adults of your two families are not here, why are the children here to join in the fun?"
Long Liren smiled and said: "Uncle Guan, my father wants me to learn from you."
After Mr. Guan sat down, others sat down one by one.
"Okay, let's start the meeting." Mr. Guan went straight to the topic and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask them."
