Today, Zhou Yufei wore a light purple long dress and black high heels. Her hair was pulled up into a bun, highlighting her cool and stunning demeanor and naturally making her the most dazzling presence in the train car.

While she might not have been beautiful enough to topple nations, captivating everyone in this train car was no problem at all.

Pairs of admiring eyes were cast in her direction, and Chen Yang naturally became the object of many men's envy and jealousy.

After they sat down, Zhou Yufei asked, "The Chairwoman didn't say anything about this trip, did she?"

"She told me to learn from you and make sure we secure this order," Chen Yang said.

"That's it?"

Chen Yang rolled his eyes, speechless. "What else would there be? She's not the least bit worried about us! She said something like, 'Who is Zhou Yufei? How could she possibly take a fancy to someone like you?'"

Zhou Yufei couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle, her body shaking with laughter like a blossoming branch in the wind.

Chen Yang stared out the window, lost for words.

Zhou Yufei's smile was radiant. "The Chairwoman isn't wrong!"

"Hmph! As if I'd fall for you," Chen Yang said, annoyed.

This remark earned many surprised gazes from those nearby, as if to say, How can you not be interested in such a rare beauty? You should take a good look at yourself in a mirror! A perfect flower stuck in a pile of cow dung.

Chen Yang abruptly turned, sweeping his gaze over the onlookers. "What are you looking at? I'm not interested in her, and she's not good enough for me!"

HOLY CRAP!

While swiftly averting their gazes, the onlookers couldn't help but curse inwardly. What's wrong with this guy? Did he eat dynamite? And where does he get this superiority complex? Honestly, some people are just shameless!

Zhou Yufei was laughing so hard her stomach began to hurt. She never imagined that Chen Yang had such an amusing side to him. He was even starting quarrels with complete strangers. It was hilarious.

"Keep laughing and the powder on your face will fall off!" Chen Yang couldn't resist teasing.

"I'm not wearing any makeup!" Zhou Yufei retorted, grabbing Chen Yang's hand and placing it on her cheek. "Feel for yourself if you don't believe me!"

Chen Yang gave her cheek an instinctive squeeze. "Alright, you're pretty."

Zhou Yufei looked like she was about to explode with laughter again, but she suddenly changed the subject. "Have you memorized the documents I gave you yesterday?"

"Don't worry, there won't be any slip-ups," Chen Yang said with complete confidence.

Zhou Yufei then quizzed him on a few topics. Seeing that Chen Yang answered every question fluently, she was finally reassured.

About an hour later, the two of them got off the train. Just as they exited the station, they saw the aloof Zhou Songlin standing quietly to the side, looking completely out of place among the bustling crowd.

"Sis!" Zhou Songlin took the luggage from Zhou Yufei's hand, a faint smile appearing on his face only then. He completely ignored Chen Yang.

Chen Yang didn't mind at all; in fact, he was happy to be left alone.

Zhou Yufei asked, puzzled, "Why are you here alone? Why didn't Mom and Dad come?"

"This was Grandpa's arrangement." Zhou Songlin glanced at Zhou Yufei. Seeing his sister's radiant, happy expression, a hint of helplessness and sorrow flashed through his eyes.

You won't be laughing when we get home, will you? As her younger brother, he felt a pang of pity for her, but his hands were tied. Everything was for the sake of the family.

The car ride was exceptionally silent.

Zhou Yufei was anxious, Chen Yang was indifferent, and Zhou Songlin had never been one for words, making the atmosphere in the car feel somewhat oppressive.

Thankfully, they reached their destination in less than half an hour.

As one of Qingqiu Dao's top families, the Zhou Family residence was located in the most scenic eastern part of the city. It was a series of interconnected, traditional courtyards. Though not ostentatious, their quaint and solid appearance commanded respect from all who saw them.

Getting out of the car, Zhou Yufei clung tightly to Chen Yang's arm, her expression a mix of nerves and apprehension. She whispered a reminder to Chen Yang, "Don't be nervous. Everything will be fine as long as we stick to the plan."

"Are you sure you're not the one who's nervous?" Chen Yang lifted her hand. "Look how much you're trembling."

Zhou Yufei was speechless.

Of course she was nervous. This wasn't just the first time she had brought a man home—the crucial part was that he was a fake! Yet this guy in front of her was acting as if it was just another day.

Still, Zhou Yufei couldn't help but warn him, "It might get a little intense later, so you'd better be ready."

Chen Yang just smiled without replying.

It's just meeting her relatives. How intense can it get? Could it possibly be more intense than a battlefield soaked in blood?

As they entered the main gate of the Zhou Family estate, the senior butler, who had been waiting, immediately came forward to greet them with a smile. "Eldest Miss, welcome home!"

"Butler Fu, where is my grandfather?" Zhou Yufei asked.

The butler, Zhou Zhengfu, smiled and said, "He's waiting for you in the main hall!"

With that, Zhou Zhengfu turned his gaze to Chen Yang and greeted him. "You must be Chen Yang, right? Hello!"

"Hello, Butler Fu," Chen Yang returned the greeting.

Zhou Zhengfu nodded to himself. Very polite, and his appearance is quite decent. What a pity. This is the Zhou Family, after all. It's not a family someone like him can hope to marry into.

Zhou Yufei smiled. "Butler Fu, I'll chat with you later. I'm taking Chen Yang to see Grandfather first."

Zhou Zhengfu smiled and stepped aside.

But at that exact moment, a discordant voice rang out.

"Grandfather's status is immense. Is he someone just any riffraff can meet? Yufei, you are far too thoughtless!"

The speaker was a man of about thirty. Dressed in a black leather jacket, he was in his prime, with a sharp, imposing aura. He approached slowly with his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze dark and clearly hostile.

Zhou Yufei's expression shifted drastically. Frowning, she said, "Second Brother, Chen Yang is my boyfriend! How can you call him riffraff?"

"Without my consent, he is an outsider!" Zhou Songyang said indifferently, scanning Chen Yang from head to toe. "I heard you defeated Songlin with a single move. Let's see what you've got. Make your move."

"Second Brother, what are you doing! Grandfather is still waiting for me to bring him over!" Zhou Yufei was angry now. How could she not see that her second brother was deliberately picking a fight?

"If he can't get past me, what right does he have to see Grandfather?"

"You..." Zhou Yufei was furious. "Second Brother, are you just trying to cause trouble? You're a Tier 6 Fist Master! Who here can possibly beat you? Bullying my boyfriend like this... aren't you going too far?"

"If he can't even beat me, what gives him the right to be your boyfriend? The Zhou Family is not a recycling bin for trash!"

The words were excessively harsh, leaving him with no dignity whatsoever.

Seeing the commotion, many passersby were drawn over, gathering in small groups to point at Chen Yang and whisper among themselves.

"The Second Young Master is right. What is the Zhou Family's status in Qingqiu Dao? Without sufficient ability, what right does he have to enter our home?"

"Miss Yufei must have been deceived by him!"

"Heh heh, now we've got a show to watch! If he doesn't dare to accept the challenge, won't that be hilarious?"

...

Hearing the discussions around them, Zhou Yufei's face darkened. She said coldly, "Second Brother, if you don't move, I will fall out with you!"

She had come home in high spirits, only to be met with such a deliberate obstacle the moment she walked through the door.

Chen Yang's skills were indeed decent, but how could he possibly be a match for a Tier 6 Fist Master?

Zhou Songyang paid no more attention to Zhou Yufei, his sharp eyes fixed on Chen Yang. "What's the matter, scared? If so, then please leave. My grandfather doesn't meet with weaklings!"

At that, dozens of eyes converged on Chen Yang, their gazes filled with ridicule and scorn.

Chen Yang released Zhou Yufei's hand. Facing the hostile stares, he took a casual step forward. "Second Brother-in-law, if I accidentally hurt you, no one's going to give me trouble for it, right?"

The crowd fell silent.
