"Alright, let's arrange something and invite Bai Lan out for some fun, let's have a gathering." Zhang Tianfu said to everyone.

"Hahaha, is Eldest Young Master Zhang ready to win back his wife?"

"I support it, such a good show shouldn't be missed."

"Eldest Young Master Zhang, do your best, this is the Capital City, our own territory, don't embarrass yourself!"

The second-generation kids immediately cheered, showing their support.

Zhang Tianfu thought for a moment and then said, "Hehe, this time the one named Ye will definitely be embarrassed because Zhao Wenhua from the Zhao Family will also come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room suddenly fell silent!

The second-generation kids had expressions of surprise on their faces.

Mixed with a hint of fear!

Zhang Tianfu actually wanted to invite Zhao Wenhua, the eldest son of the Zhao Family!

This matter might escalate!

The second-generation kids present were all from prominent families in the Capital City, their status was not insignificant, and they often flaunted their power over ordinary people.

However, there were still more prominent and distinct hierarchies within upper society.

Obviously, Zhao Wenhua's identity and status were higher than everyone present.

Because the Zhao Family was a top family in the Capital City!

While the families of Zhang Tianfu and his group were merely third-tier families.

The Bai Family could only count as a third-tier family!

Whether in terms of wealth, status, or connections, third-tier families fell far short of a top family like the Zhao Family!

"Eldest Young Master Zhang, you're really looking to ruin Ye Qiu."

"Ye Qiu is done for, really done for."

The second-generation kids shook their heads, eyes filled with pity.

"Ye Qiu, I just want to see what ability you have to provoke Zhao Wenhua!" Zhang Tianfu was extremely smug, already fantasizing about Zhao Wenhua teaching Ye Qiu a harsh lesson.

...

On the other side.

After a walk to clear his mind, Ye Qiu returned to the Bai Family and found Bai Lan.

Bai Lan furrowed her brows, hesitated for a while, and still helplessly said, "I received an invitation today, tomorrow those second-generation kids want to have a gathering, saying they also invited Zhao Wenhua, the eldest son of the Zhao Family. It seems not going isn't good."

After speaking, Bai Lan sighed secretly.

Not going wouldn't be good, but going isn't necessarily any better!

She already got the list of attendees for this gathering.

Aside from Zhao Wenhua, the rest were all sons from third-tier families.

It seemed obvious this was deliberately arranged.

Bai Lan felt like this was probably done to target Ye Qiu.

Regret filled her as she should not have brought Ye Qiu back to the Capital City, if targeted by a top family like the Zhao Family, things wouldn't be easily resolved.

"Then let's go." Ye Qiu seemed completely unbothered, smiling faintly.

He also noticed Bai Lan's concern, but there was nothing that could be done about this matter; with his and Bai Lan's relationship, they were destined to be targeted by those top-tier families, sooner or later trouble would come, whether they were in the Capital City or not.

Of course, Ye Qiu wasn't too concerned about such matters.

Meanwhile, in another room.

Bai Hao had a complicated expression as he hung up the phone, eyes full of worry, and murmured to himself, "I didn't expect Zhang Tianfu to still dare to mess with Ye Qiu after suffering a big loss."

After thinking for a while, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on Bai Hao's lips, "Though Zhang Tianfu has a point, if he invites Zhao Wenhua, and if Ye Qiu offends Zhao Wenhua, then he's doomed.

The Zhao Family is a top family in the Capital City, not one I can afford to provoke. I must choose the right side, and if I can take this opportunity to get close to Zhao Wenhua, everything Ye Qiu did to me before, will be avenged!"

Late at night.

Ye Qiu sat alone on the windowsill wearing a thin layer of clothing, slightly tilting his head, gazing at the profound night sky.

"Phoenix...are you well?"

"Phoenix, I miss you."

Ye Qiu murmured softly, scenes from the past flashed continuously in his mind like a slideshow.

Phoenix said once, if she died, he should live an ordinary life.

If she died, he should find a good girl and marry.

She loved Ye Qiu deeply, yet she didn't want Ye Qiu to live a solitary life because of her.

Long ago, Ye Qiu promised Phoenix.

But...but when that moment came, he could never do it!

He couldn't forget Phoenix!

Could never forget!

Even though his feelings for Bai Lan had grown deep, they still couldn't fill the wound in his heart.

"Bai Lan, I'm sorry..." Ye Qiu sighed deeply, a bitter smile forming on his lips.

Intense guilt surged through him.

He didn't believe missing Phoenix was a mistake, but was it fair to Bai Lan?

It wasn't fair!

Bai Lan already gave him the best of everything, so why couldn't he give her a satisfactory answer?

Ye Qiu smiled bitterly, his thoughts growing increasingly complex.

He sat quietly, gazing at the night sky.

The resplendent night sky, countless stars.

Incredibly beautiful.

But Ye Qiu's eyes always held just one image.

That face of absolute beauty.

That valiant posture.

That gentle smile.

Phoenix...

After a long while.

Bai Lan emerged from the bedroom, her eyes red, it was unclear if she hadn't slept well or had been crying.

She looked deeply at Ye Qiu, finally, quickly grabbed the coat on the side, and draped it gently over Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu slowly turned around, looking at her full of apology.

For a long time, he still did not speak...

The next day.

Near the Bai Family's courtyard, in a small alley.

Six warriors from the Seventh Squad gathered here, staring intently at the Bai Family's entrance.

Suddenly, the captain Huang Zhentian's eyes sharpened, speaking in a deep voice, "They're coming out, Miao Mountain, follow discreetly. Wang has many enemies in the Capital City, if you encounter any minor issues, resolve it in advance."

Miao Mountain, a member of the Seventh Squad, had a brawny physique, originally from the countryside, a very honest person, steady in actions, always had patience, and was the sniper of the Seventh Squad. Entrusting him with such tasks could not be more suitable.

"Okay!" Miao Mountain responded immediately, his body flashed, and he followed them.

Over ten minutes later.

At Tianshang Club, in a sky-grade private room.

Ye Qiu and others had just arrived, seeing various families' second-generation kids already gathered.

"Hahaha, everyone's here, looks like we're late."

"Young Master Song, it's been a long time!"

Bai Hao immediately abandoned Ye Qiu and Bai Lan, ran over like a sycophant to ingratiate himself with the second-generation kids who arrived earlier.

The second-generation kids chatted and laughed, exchanging words.

Occasionally, a few people shot meaningful glances at Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu did not go over to join them.

Bai Lan lightly held onto Ye Qiu's arm amidst looks of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

About two minutes later, the noisy room suddenly fell silent!

All the second-generation kids simultaneously turned to look at the entrance of the private room!

They saw a young man in a white suit, accompanied by a bodyguard, striding in with shiny leather shoes, full of presence.

Zhao Wenhua, the eldest son of the Zhao Family, had arrived!
