The setting sun was shining slantingly, and the orange-yellow light was like broken diamonds, hitting the cars passing by quickly.
Ji Wuyin's thin white fingers drew a circle on the center console.
Xia Zeyou's voice came over the single-line voice, "Yinyin, I'm almost there."
Ji Wuyin glanced at the time, stepped on the accelerator, and accelerated immediately, "Well, I'm almost there too, please wait at the door."
Lotus emira is like an oil paintbrush, leaving a yellow afterimage on the straight road.
Xia Zeyou understood what she meant and told her a location.
The Xia family was deliberately targeted yesterday, and many people were waiting to see the show. Ji Wuyin attended the banquet at the same time as him today, which not only showed the Ji family's attitude, but also helped him hold up the scene and block those malicious whispers.
Thinking of the reception banquet later, Xia Zeyou sighed a little, "Song Er's show of awe is really grand."
As early as decades ago, Shangjing was divided into two factions: southeast, southeast and northwest.
From the Song family in Dongcheng and the Luo family in Nancheng, one is engaged in politics and the other is in the army.
The Ji family in Xicheng and the Zhou family in Beicheng, one is mainly in the business world, and the other is a multi-faceted person who is involved in all walks of life but is not sophisticated.
After the division of the territory, the two parties lived in peace and harmony for many years. Now this balance is about to be broken by Song Zhiyu, who has just returned to the country.
Jianglu District is located in the city center. Because of its extremely prosperous style, it is very popular among the children of aristocratic families in the four cities.
Song Zhiyu decided to hold the banquet here, but he gave it to the two northwest cities.
Ji Wuyin thought about Song Zhiyu's words yesterday, her heart shrank, and she sneered: "It's just a show."
It was impossible for him to tell the noble sons of Southeast City that she was Shen Zhiyi. Even if he wanted to, the Song family would stop him.
Otherwise, the fact that the eldest daughter of the Ji family used a pseudonym to fool her rival, the second son of the Song family, would become a long-running joke in the entire capital.

Every inch of land in Jianglu District is precious, with jade inlaid on the stone walls and glass lamps hanging high in the sky, twinkling like billions of stars, lighting up the night sky.
Ji Wuyin walked into the banquet holding Xia Zeyou's arm, and without looking further, she met a pair of dark eyes.
Song Zhiyu sat on the sofa, holding the cup with his fingertips. When he saw Ji Wuyin, he pressed down slightly. Next to him was Luo Lixuan, whose eyes widened when he saw her.
This was one of the few Song Zhiyu's brothers she had met when she was Shen Zhiyi.
Except for a few people who were close to Song Zhiyu in Southeast City who had seen her, no one else would think of Shen Zhiyi who had been pestering Song Zhiyu when they saw her.
Ji Wuyin glanced over there and saw Luo Lixuan lowering his head and starting to talk to Song Zhiyu, so he took Xia Zeyou and walked in the other direction.
The noble gentlemen from the two northwest cities who had arrived early had reserved seats for them.
"Sister Yin."
Ji Wuyin nodded slightly and responded to their greetings.
There is a golden relief mural of Adam and Eve painted on the wall of the banquet hall. Ji Wuyin listens to the people around him talking about the stock market, the recent policies issued by the superiors, and investment stocks in emerging industries. His eyes fall on the mural. On the golden serpent that tempted Eve.
When she doesn't want to deal with him, Xia Zeyou will take the initiative to deal with anyone who comes along for her. The people in the northwest and northwest cities naturally knew this rule. Even if the people in the southeast city had never come into contact with Ji Wuyin before, they knew it well by looking at this posture.
People in this circle are quite discerning.
Ji Wuyin rested his elbow on the armrest of the sofa and supported his forehead, staring at the snake in a daze. She usually looks like this when she is tired and lazy. Xia Zeyou didn't think anything else and kept talking about doing Tai Chi with others.
The gaze from the front right was still hot. Ji Wu moved her red lips and said, "As annoying as a snake."
Her stiletto heels tapped the ground, and she stood up facing the gaze.
"Yinyin?" Xia Zeyou stood up after her.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
Ji Wuyin signaled him to stay here and walked forward. Her dark eyes were like ink, becoming more intense as she got closer step by step.
The sound of stiletto heels walking in the hall is not abrupt, but it is like a noise reducer. Every time she takes a step, the sound in the hall will drop a little.
More and more eyes seemed to be floating on her, but there was always only one blatant one.
"Da da da--"
Another sound rushed in, causing the noise reducer to reach critical point, and other sounds in the hall suddenly disappeared.
Arriving on the sofa faster than her was a pink figure.
The girl wearing pink puff sleeves sat next to Song Zhiyu and said in a delicate voice: "Brother Yu."
Ji Wuyin raised a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth. He looked away as soon as Song Zhiyu's bottomless eyes came into contact and walked past them without stopping.
After the graceful figure in his peripheral vision disappeared, Song Zhiyu turned his attention to the person in front of him.
He leaned against the sofa with his legs spread out. His lazy posture could not cover up the feeling of oppression on his body.
"Is something wrong?" he asked.

When Ji Wuyin returned to the hall from the bathroom, the girl was still sitting next to Song Zhiyu. Her posture was no different from before, but Song Zhiyu was obviously more focused on the girl.
"The Fang family's chess piece is quite useful."
"It's a risky move in chess. Fang Siying has been raised for so many years. It's not a loss if she can be used to ride on the Song family's big ship."
Ji Wuyin's eyes glanced over Fang Siying's body. The girl was wearing a pink princess dress, with long curly hair shawl, and the back was decorated with a bow. She really looked like a petite princess.
It is a style that strong men will like. No wonder Song Zhiyu is willing to let her get close to her.
