Fu Jiunian didn't know if Zong Li would go to the end with him in such a complicated situation.
*
As soon as he got off the plane, Fu Jiunian didn't go back to the Fu family, so he was left with the Zong family.
The Zong family parents scrutinized him a little, but overall, they were still very kind.
Then, there was a welcoming banquet.
In the luxurious villa, there were lights and streamers everywhere. The people that Fu Jiunian had seen on TV and news appeared in front of him one by one.
All the high-ranking officials of the Huadian Group came, along with some of the best friends of the Zong family.
Fu Jiunian was dressed up like a new person.
His flax hair was dyed back to black, making his face look even more heroic.
Dressed in a black slim-fit suit with a white shirt, Fu Jiunian was tall and had long legs. He was a little scared by the Zong family, but he was still able to hold his ground.
His expression was indifferent, and his eyes were mesmerizing. He just stood beside Xia Ling, looking very imposing, like a heroic young CEO from a Manga.
And throughout the banquet, Xia Ling held his arm.
"Uncle Li, Uncle Wang!"
"Yeah, this is my boyfriend, Fu Jiunian. Jiunian, say hello to my uncles."
Her calm and composed expression didn't affect him at all. Instead, those people listened to Xia Ling's introduction.
They looked at him and smiled. They looked at him with a polite but scrutinizing gaze. Fu Jiunian looked calm, but in reality, he was in a terrible state of mind.
Finally, he found an opportunity. Fu Jiunian brought Xia Ling to the balcony.
He asked, "Ah Li, didn't you say that you were going to hold a family banquet to welcome us?"
He thought that they were just relatives of the Zong family, but he didn't expect that with the exception of the Fu family, this banquet could be compared to an ordinary engagement banquet!
Xia Ling smiled. "That's right. I'm going to welcome you and introduce you to my friends."
This was an attitude that recognized him and was ready to treat him seriously.
However, Fu Jiunian was so nervous just now that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
There were so many people and so many scrutinizing eyes. They were all polite and restrained, but in their eyes, everyone labeled him as a "gigolo".
Fu Jiunian hated this feeling to death, but he stood beside Zong Li.
Zong Li was like a fish in water when dealing with these people, as if she was born to belong to this circle.
She was clearly right beside him, but Fu Jiunian felt that she was very far away from him, as if they were not from the same world!
Fu Jiunian looked at Xia Ling and licked his dry lips. "Ah Li, I..."
He clenched his hands, and his face was a little pale. There was sweat on his forehead, and his eyes were focused on the woman in front of him.
Fu Jiunian wanted to expose the panic and unwillingness in his heart to Zong Li in a casual way.
But the dignity in his heart supported him, making it difficult for him to say the words to back down.
"Eh? What do you want to say?" Xia Ling looked at him.
After returning to the Zong family, she changed into a purple fishtail dress. She had a perfect figure and extremely beautiful eyes.
No matter where she went, the elegant and outstanding Zong Li was the focus of the banquet.
But the more beautiful she was, the more outstanding she was. The more Fu Jiunian stood beside her, the more he felt like a bug sticking to her.
He knew nothing about the topic they were discussing, so he didn't interrupt.
He stood aside and pretended to be indifferent about the proposal they were talking about, but in fact, his ignorance had long been seen through by these people.
