Chapter 2305 - 2306: In Turmoil

Yanzi uttered an "oh" and her gaze drifted, appearing unsettled.

A pretty girl standing beside Yanzi looked at her demeanor and sneered.

"Yanzi, are you still thinking about that Big Head soldier from your academy? He's not from your world at all, don't be foolish."

Yanzi's Mother's eyes narrowed slightly, her elegant and noble face seemed to be covered with frost.

"From today on, it's over between you and that man, you have absolutely no relation, understand?"

At the mention of Old Cat, the strong-willed Yanzi couldn't help but have a hint of tears in her eyes.

However, Yanzi was educated as an elite offspring of the Wang Family.

She also knew that the huge difference between the Wang Family and an ordinary merchant family could not be bridged.

Forcing the two together would only harm Old Cat.

Whether it's the Wang Family or Zhou Family, dealing with a Lieutenant is just child's play.

In Yanzi's heart, there was still some faint hope.

Unless Old Cat can find Master Yang to speak on behalf of them.

As long as Master Yang says a word, it becomes golden words that no one could change.

Even the Patriarch of the Wang Family and the Patriarch of the Zhou Family would have to obey unconditionally.

However, Master Yang and Yanzi, as well as Old Cat, just met by chance, not even counting as friends, would he be willing to speak up?

Yanzi's mind was in chaos, as Old Cat hadn't shown up yet, Yanzi was already in despair.

Just then, a stretch Lincoln slowly stopped about 500 meters away from the Wang Family.

There were two Hummers faintly guarding the Lincoln at its front and back.

The stretch Lincoln wasn't a luxury car, but the license plate number, beginning with four 8s, was eye-catching.

Just this license plate number left many who understood dumbfounded.

A group of people slowly got off the car.

A graceful and noble lady, along with an elderly man in his 50s, led a weak-looking man in a suit.

Escorted by four bodyguards, the three walked over.

Seeing this group, Yanzi's Mother instantly became spirited, whispering to Yanzi.

"Zhou Tian is here, put away your mournful face, losing your face is a minor matter, don't lose the family's face."

The weak-looking man in a suit had a pair of Gold-rimmed Glasses on his face, looking gentle and kind.

He walked up respectfully and bowed deeply to Yanzi's Mother.

"Hello, Aunt."

Yanzi's Mother smiled slightly.

"Zhou Tian is becoming more and more polite, hurry up and get up, we've been waiting for you all for a long time."

Zhou Tian's mother had fair skin, carrying some of the Jiangnan beauty's elegance, glanced at Yanzi discreetly.

"Did Yanzi not rest well last night? It's understandable, your training tasks are heavy, take care of yourself."

Following Zhou Tian's mother's gaze, Zhou Tian also glanced at Yanzi, revealing some concern in his eyes.

"Yanzi, you don't look well, how about having our family's old Chinese doctor come over and check your pulse?"

"I heard his ancestors were Imperial Physicians, specifically tending to the Emperor, quite skilled in health management."

Yanzi coldly looked at Zhou Tian, then lowered her gaze, expressionless.

"No need, I'm a soldier, not that delicate."

Zhou Tian was taken aback, feeling the intense tension in Yanzi's tone, not knowing what to say.

Yanzi's Mother knew it wasn't right, glared fiercely at Yanzi, and came out to ease the situation.

"We've all stood here long enough, let's hurry inside, everyone is getting anxious."

Zhou Tian's father Zhou Mingde's eyes flickered, glanced at Yanzi, saying nothing.

Zhou Mingde, the Family Head of the Zhou Family and a high-ranking official of a certain province, held a significant and unmatchable position.

He vaguely sensed something amiss with Yanzi but avoided asking due to politeness.

While exchanging polite words, the group entered the Wang Family Courtyard.

Just before entering, Yanzi looked into the distance.

The alley was deserted, not a single person, certainly not Old Cat's figure.

Her heart pierced with pain, she bit her lip hard.

"Old Cat, you fool!"

Inside the Wang Family Courtyard, eight-sided tables were set with five or six banquet tables.

Anyone at these tables was a person of great importance.

The Wang Family and Zhou Family, with great restraint, invited only a few people.

If they intended to publicize and open up, thousands might come to celebrate in this small courtyard.

The Family Head of the Wang Family, Wang Honglin, sat at the head seat, his stern face revealing a barely noticeable smile.

Wang Honglin was very pleased with this marriage.

Though the Zhou Family wasn't as well-off as the Wang Family, they were still a century-old family with deep-rooted influence.

Connecting the Wang Family and the Zhou Family brought immense benefits to both.

Zhou Tian was also a brilliant elite offspring of his family.

Having just graduated from Harvard University's law department two years ago, he already worked in a central department office.

A person like him, after a few years of training and placed in a local area, could become a high-ranking official within ten years, his prospects bright.

As the guests gathered, Zhou Mingde represented the Zhou Family to thank the Wang Family, wishing the newlyweds a happy marriage.

Next was Wang Honglin from the Wang Family delivering a speech.

The speeches from the two high-ranking Family Heads were similar, thanking guests and blessing the newlyweds.

Yanzi sat by a table, accompanied by Yanzi's Mother, her face increasingly unpleasant.

Across from Yanzi, the girl from earlier with delicate makeup and thin lips, slightly sharp, couldn't help but smirk, showing some disdain.

"Yanzi, I know what you're thinking, stop thinking about that foolish soldier."

"The Zhou Tian selected by the family is tens of thousands of times better than that soldier."

"Love is love, life is life. When you become Lady Zhou Tian, standing tall among many noblewomen, you'll realize my words today are simply truth."

The speaker was Yanzi's cousin, also considered a direct descendant of the Wang Family.

However, this cousin and Yanzi have been at odds since childhood.

Now, seeing her find such an ideal husband, the cousin was deeply jealous.

Yanzi suddenly stood up, the force was too strong, causing a wine cup to crash to the floor, alarming everyone.

Yanzi's Mother saw this, her face changed instantly.

This small-scale banquet invited many significant guests, Yanzi couldn't make a scene now.

At this moment, a young man wearing a Yalan suit walked into the Wang Family Courtyard, head held high.

Yanzi was stunned, instinctively shouting out.

"Old Cat, why are you only showing up now?"

Old Cat nodded to Yanzi, walked directly to the Wang Family Head, Wang Honglin, and bowed deeply.

"Uncle, I request you let me marry Yanzi."

Upon saying this, it was like a giant stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring a huge commotion.

"Who is this person? How dare he come and disgrace the Zhou Family?"

"What's up with this kid? Exposing this would be an enormous scandal."

"Heard Yanzi had a boyfriend in military academy, is this kid him?"

"It's chaos, how to handle the aftermath of this mess?"
