4440 A pie fell from the sky
Ling Chuxi, Ling Chuxi. No wonder this name sounded familiar. She was actually the young master of the ancient Ling family.
With his status, his understanding of the ancient aristocratic families naturally far exceeded that of Zhou xueting and the others. Ever since Ling Chuxi and a few other disciples of the Ling family rose to fame in the adjudication election, many ancient aristocratic families had tried to befriend the Ling family. Even an influential ancient aristocratic family like the Jing family had taken the initiative to join the Ling family.
Zhou Anbang had originally sighed that his Zhou family’s status was limited and he could not climb up to the Ling family. Who would have thought that Zhou xueting would actually form a relationship with this young master of the Ling family?
...It was really a pie that fell from the sky! It was such a big piece of meat pie that he almost fainted!
“That good-for-nothing brat of mine doesn’t have the right to befriend young master Ling and master Huangfu. The two of you think too highly of him.” Although Ling Chuxi had said that they had become sworn brothers with Zhou xueting, Zhou Anbang did not dare to address himself as an elder and said this in fear and trepidation.
“Zhou family head is too modest. Young master Zhou’s talent is outstanding and he has a straightforward personality. He will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future. It is also fate that we became friends with him.” Ling Chuxi said. Her words were not just to flatter Zhou xueting. Although that guy was a little arrogant and narcissistic, he was also considered to be upright and much better than many of the disciples of the ancient aristocratic families.
“It’s rare for young master Ling and master Huangfu to think so highly of him. It turns out that I wanted to make him the young master, but I was afraid that he would be too young and unstable. I’m relieved to hear you say that.” Zhou Anbang could tell that Ling Chuxi’s words were not perfunctory and immediately said.
What a joke. One was the young master of the Ling family, and the other was a judge. As long as he could get close to such a strong person, Zhou Anbang would not hesitate to help him to the position of the family head, even if he was an idiot, let alone Zhou xueting, who had good qualifications.
He wasn’t worried that anyone in the clan would object. If anyone dared to object, he would just kick them out of the Zhou family. As the family head of a first-rank family, who wasn’t a decisive person? he still had this bit of charm.
At this moment, Zhou xueting would never have thought that becoming sworn brothers with Ling Chuxi and Huangfu qingjue would actually bring him such great benefits.
“By the way, Master Zhou, with your status, why are you so biased toward the situ family?” Ling Chuxi asked, puzzled. In any case, Zhou Anbang had come over to apologize, so she did not have to worry about anything. She was just a little puzzled. With Zhou Anbang’s identity as the family head of a first-rank family, there was no need for him to lower his reputation and collude with the situ family. Furthermore, the situ family should not be able to offer anything that would move him.
“Actually, I’m doing this because someone asked me to.” Zhou Anbang smiled bitterly and said,”I don’t know where the situ family got their luck from, but they actually caught the eye of the ancient cui family and joined them. I have an old friend who works for the cui family, and on behalf of the cui family, he asked me to help the situ family rise to the second rank. I didn’t want to offend my old friend, and I also wanted to use this opportunity to please the cui family, so I agreed. Fortunately, young master Ling and master Huangfu appeared in time. Otherwise, if this matter were to really succeed, the Zhou family’s thousand-year reputation would have been destroyed in my hands. ”
Zhou Anbang’s words were somewhat insincere. Since he had decided to hug the cui family’s thigh back then, he had not thought about whether he had a clean reputation or not. It was just that now that he had met Ling Chuxi and Huangfu qingjue, these two even thicker thighs, he felt that the cui family was really not worth mentioning.
