The Eight Great Families of Shanghai, the Dragon King?

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

A concerned voice sounded in the ears of Ye Juaner and her companion.

Although it was spoken in authentic London English, both Ye Juaner and her friend could understand it!

Ye Juaner didn't speak; her emotions were unstable at the moment. She hadn't expected that after rushing here overnight, this would be the result.

For the first time, she truly felt that she had lost the person she loved most.

The Best Friend looked at the person, shook her head, and replied that it wasn't necessary.

"Are you here for an appointment? Just before this, every day a handsome man, looking like a young master of a great Family, would sit here. It seemed like he was waiting for someone."

The foreign girl continued. She could sense that Ye Juaner was the person Zhou Feiyu had been waiting for!

Hearing this, Ye Juaner immediately looked at her, wanting to ask if she knew where Zhou Feiyu was now.

She wanted to go find him right now!

"Yes, he's the one I'm looking for. Can you tell me where he is now?" Ye Juaner said quickly, still making a final effort.

In her heart, she was still hoping that Zhou Feiyu would appear again!

"I spoke a few words with him the day before yesterday, but he said he was going back to his country. Perhaps he has already returned to Xia Country by now," the foreign woman replied with regret.

"I asked him why he wouldn't wait a few more days, that maybe in another day or two, the person he longed for would actually arrive," she continued.

"But he shook his head at me. He said that some results are already clear before the final day arrives. Continuing to wait is just a forced extension; there's no need for it."

"What he said seemed very philosophical. I didn't quite understand, but I could feel that he seemed very heartbroken."

"After he finished speaking, he left and never came back again."

The foreign girl's words made it impossible for Ye Juaner to hold back any longer.

At this moment, she finally realized she had completely lost Zhou Feiyu!

Her heart was filled with immense regret. She thought that even if Song Wanfeng really was her former savior, so what?

She could have repaid that life-saving debt entirely through money or a job position.

Instead of hurting the person who loved her the most for the sake of Song Wanfeng.

Regret—countless feelings of remorse welled up from the bottom of her heart.

But at this point, regret was of no use.

Ye Juaner knew this was all her own doing.

Nothing could go back to the way it was!

"How about we go back to the country immediately? To find Feiyu again?" Ye Juaner's Best Friend whispered.

Ye Juaner heard this but didn't answer. She knew in her heart that it was all useless... Xia Country.

Zhou Cheng slowly woke up. He had gotten dead drunk with Zhou Feiyu last night.

Perhaps because he often attended various business banquets and drank frequently, Zhou Feiyu had the alcohol tolerance of a god.

If Zhou Cheng's body hadn't been modified by the System, he definitely wouldn't have been able to outdrink Zhou Feiyu last night!

In the morning, as usual, Zhou Cheng got up early.

When he went downstairs, he found that Zhou Feiyu was already waiting for him!

At this time, only Zhou Wanyu hadn't gotten up yet!

She had started slacking off after the College Entrance Examination, waking up at noon every day and then wandering around with Qin Ming and a few other classmates.

Zhou Cheng couldn't be bothered to manage her. He had added Qin Ming on super message; with that kid following her, he felt at ease!

Anyway, as long as she wasn't as naughty as Zhou Shurong, it was fine.

"You just got back, aren't you going to adjust to the jet lag first?" Zhou Cheng walked into the dining room and said to Zhou Feiyu.

"No need!" Zhou Feiyu shook his head.

He then handed a letter to Zhou Cheng!

"What is this?" Zhou Cheng was puzzled. In this day and age, why were people still using these kinds of letters?

Despite his confusion, Zhou Cheng took it and opened it to read.

"This letter was sent by someone arranged by the Liu Family early this morning! They are hosting a banquet at the Liu Family Manor for the other seven of the Eight Great Families of Modu!" Zhou Feiyu said seriously.

Then, without waiting for Zhou Cheng to ask, he began explaining the matter of the Eight Great Families of Modu himself!

"There are eight great families in Modu in total. They were comprehensively selected based mainly on business perspectives plus some other factors!"

"The eight families are the Liu, Li, Zhu, Zhao, Zhou, Qin, Wang, and Yang families."

"Among them, the Zhou Family is us. Since our Zhou Family only rose in the last twenty or thirty years, we are only ranked in the middle of the eight families!"

"This also includes the influence of the Chen Family of the Capital City. If the Chen Family's influence were removed, our Zhou Family would probably be ranked last."

"Oh." Zhou Cheng nodded. This was a short drama world after all; who the hell would rank these in reality?

Isn't this just setting up villains for those Dragon King protagonists, waiting for them to come and show off by slapping faces?

Wait, this??

Zhou Cheng became serious and carefully read the letter from the Liu Family. It was just an invitation for Zhou Cheng and Zhou Feiyu to attend a banquet at the Liu residence tonight.

However, what particularly caught Zhou Cheng's attention was!

In the letter, the words 'Dragon King' actually appeared! The Liu Family mentioned the Dragon King!

They said the Dragon King Emissary would also appear tonight, and that the heads of all families must not be absent!

Otherwise, suffer the consequences!

Seeing this, Zhou Cheng's brow furrowed instantly!

It really wasn't Zhou Cheng's fault for reacting this way. As a young man in his past life who frequently scrolled through short dramas, how could he not be familiar with the title 'Dragon King'?

Once this Dragon King appears, isn't it a disaster for the wealthy families of Modu?

In short dramas, the Dragon King puts on a show of arrogance, and doesn't he build his reputation by slapping the faces of various great families?

He hadn't expected that shortly after becoming the head of the Zhou Family and taking control of the Chenyang Group, just as life was starting to look up...

Especially after helping his elder brother resolve his emotional issues and gaining an assistant with maxed-out abilities to manage the Group for him—someone who would let him be a hands-off boss!

It turned out he was still just hanging around the starter village, and the true protagonist hadn't even appeared yet?!

Particularly since his Zhou Family was just a stepping stone for someone else to show off!

When the time comes, if they offend the Dragon King and he gets angry, will the Zhou Family be wiped out in an instant?

His damn life had just started to get good, and then this thing shows up!

Who the hell could stand this!
