CHAPTER 202: CHAPTER 168 SMALL GATHERING_2

From their identities, they are similar to the heads of powerful families in Xufu Town.

In other towns, they are top-tier figures, who would prefer not to step outside without a red carpet.

However, upon arriving in Jiangzhou City this time, their expressions were off.

Perhaps due to the weather, their faces were overcast with a grey hue, gathering in pairs or threes looking worried.

Yuchi walked in from outside the door at this moment, and upon seeing these people, he was quite surprised.

These people clearly weren’t from the Zhou Family, as their clothes were different.

However, judging by their splendid garments, it’s evident they were dressed up for some gathering.

"Should I get some ornament to hang on my wrist then?"

Yuchi was somewhat curious as three people approached him.

Yuchi recognized two of them; one was Fang Xiang from the Fang Family.

Fang Xiang appeared to be a middle-aged woman, with a decent figure.

She wore a blue outfit, and exquisite jewelry could be seen on her wrists and neck.

The other was Wu Shi from the Wu Family, a middle-aged man wearing a large Jade Ring.

These two, from appearance alone, seemed to have "wealth" written on their foreheads.

As for the other man beside them, his face clearly showed some fear.

Even though he wore luxurious clothing, he gave off a rather uneasy vibe, lacking confidence perhaps?

Confidence my foot, Zhou Xingcai was recently eliminated by the Celestial Capital Department’s Chen Weiran, and he’s now to head the Zhou Family.

Now he must face such a smiling tiger as Yuchi, who wouldn’t be scared?

Taking a deep breath, he walked up to Yuchi and immediately bowed.

His sleeves hanging in front of him: "President Yuchi, thank you for coming, it must have been a strenuous journey."

After speaking, he immediately gave a signal to the maid beside him, though the carefully chosen maid wasn’t entirely sure what was happening.

They just followed orders, one on each side, as they quickly approached Yuchi.

The Cyan Bamboo Umbrella they held was immediately placed over Yuchi’s head, their eyes filled with longing.

Sorry, I am devoted to Yinghan, Yuchi glanced at the two maids.

The maids immediately understood, leaving with a hint of resentment, the man felt somewhat embarrassed and hurriedly made way.

He then said to Yuchi: "President, please come inside, rest for a moment, lunch will be ready shortly."

Watching Yuchi enter the main hall, many people lowered their heads and hurried away.

So much so that in the large hall, there was only Yuchi sitting below the central hall.

The maid brought the tea, using the lid to skim the tea leaves, taking a slight sip, the taste was alright.

Yuchi smiled at him: "Is there anything special in this tea?"

The man quickly shook his head: "No, absolutely not, that vicious woman has already been dealt with."

"We came this time specifically to apologize to you, President!"

"It was all a misunderstanding before... yes, a misunderstanding..."

"I haven’t introduced myself yet, I’m now at the helm of the Zhou Family, Zhou Xinnian."

...

While Zhou Xinnian and Yuchi conversed, pairs of eyes outside were already sneaking glances inside.

Including people from the Fang Family and another person from the Wu Family.

These two stood in the drizzling rain, completely unaware of the situation.

They just dumbly stood there, eyes filled with fear as they looked at the young man in black sitting in front of the central hall.

They knew that their lives were now in the hands of this young man.

A single word from this young man, and not just them, but even their families might suffer for this.

"What exactly is going on with these three families?"

Further away, people from families within other towns stood there.

They all held umbrellas, their expensive shoes already soaked by the rain.

An autumn downpour suddenly fell, and the weather was very cold.

A stray cold wind occasionally blew by, making them involuntarily shrink their necks.

As for these clothing families in the towns, they truly didn’t know what was happening in Jiangzhou City.

The reason they came to Jiangzhou City was because these three clothing-selling families in Jiangzhou invited them over.

The business in Jiangzhou City is a big one indeed.

Not to mention how many clothes the million-plus population in Jiangzhou City needs annually, just talk about the prices of clothing in Jiangzhou City.

Especially since there are many sect disciples in Jiangzhou City.

These people always buy clothes in bulk, which is a highly profitable business.

They cared about these aspects of Jiangzhou City, and connections with the three families were very good before.

But why did they have to come to Jiangzhou City now?

When they came, everything was fine, but suddenly it all changed?

The sense of nobility they once felt was completely gone, it felt like they were just in the background.

"Have you heard of the Xufu Town Commerce Association?"

"Heard of it, but it’s just an association in Xufu Town, theoretically, they shouldn’t be able to enter Jiangzhou City."

"It’s all our business, they certainly shouldn’t be threatening the three main families of Jiangzhou City."

"I think the same, but what on earth is going on with this situation..."
