Chapter 557: 541 The huge pit left by Feng Long

"I wouldn’t know," Zhou Jue spread his hands, his expression one of helplessness, "My blind guess is that it’s either to struggle for power or to try to flatter the big shots into helping. Anyway, harming others without benefitting oneself is not the first time he’s done such a thing..."

Sacrificing the interests one currently holds and presenting them to the big shot, in exchange for a chance to align oneself with them.

Many people do this.

Feng Long might be the local tyrant in Chunyue City, but how could greedy people be content with just one place?

Jun Lii quietly listened to their conversation until Yan Yueqing sighed, thinking she didn’t understand, and subconsciously reached out to hold her hand.

Her palm was warm as if bathed in the sun.

Her voice came clear and gentle, like a navigation cutting through the fog.

"It’s simple, Feng Long wants to join the Beijing Circle."

Yan Yueqing lifted her eyelashes, "Beijing Circle?"

Zhou Jue seemed to have thought of something and pursed his lips, not continuing the conversation.

Jun Lii explained, "I’ve always disliked the term ’certain circle,’ but where there are people, there will be the practice of forming cliques. Those concerned about their own interests will band together to exclude outsiders. It’s the same everywhere.

The Beijing Circle, it’s a term they coined themselves. Gradually, those who were squeezed out and couldn’t find a foothold began to acknowledge the strength of the Beijing Circle from the bottom of their hearts. They spread the name far and wide, making it seem as terrifying as a colossal beast.

In recent years, some people in the circle had financial issues, and internal conflicts were unresolved. So, they simply attracted outside investment as the scapegoat. Strangely, many people, for the sake of entry into the circle, went as far as to put their entire fortunes and lives at stake! In the end, many succeeded in squeezing in, and many lost all their capital.

Feng Long probably heard some news and wanted to find a chance to connect with someone in the circle. But he didn’t dare to bet big, so he used the company’s assets to test the waters. Even if he took a loss, it wouldn’t drive him to the rooftop. Overall, he’s someone with a bit of cunning but who can’t see the reality clearly."

Yan Yueqing propped her chin, listening to Jun Lii’s logical analysis, nodding, and asked, "Beijing Circle, Demon Circle, even the not-so-large C city has its circles. I wonder... to which circle do I belong?"

The way she spoke, without a hint of pondering doubt, her eyes sly and shining, was as if she had just brought up a joke.

Jun Lii’s lips curved into a smile, his voice softened even more, "You? You are a circle in yourself."

"Me?"

Jun Lii did not stint in his praise for her, "Circles need to be integrated into, but you don’t need to go to any circle. Just wave your hand, and they will rush to you, one after another."

"Such flattery?" Yan Yueqing’s ears reddened, "That’s kind of embarrassing."

Zhou Jue evaluated...

Damn, that’s like dog food!

But what Jun Lii said was the truth.

With the status of the Jiang Family, Yan Yueqing would have countless suitors flocking to her, even if she did nothing.

It’s just that the people of Hua Country lack insight, not realizing how formidable she is.

Once she returns to the Jiang Family...

For some reason, Jun Lii’s heart quivered.

During the time he spent learning at the Jiang Family, who he came in contact with were either princes from this country or dukes from another, each blonde-haired and blue-eyed, exuding pride from their very bones.

He was the least noticeable among them.

A son of a businessman from Hua Country who was doing rather well...

And like that, he stole away the Jiang Family’s Little Princess.

It felt a bit like a stray dog making a comeback!

If he remembered correctly, Jiang Xiaoxing was engaged...

As Yan Yueqing, her grandfather had arranged Lin Qiming for her.

As Jiang Xiaoxing, the Jiang Family had also arranged a fiancé for her...

Hiss...

In the Jiang Family, where women are held in high esteem, having two or three partners is quite normal! Especially for the Family Head – who doesn’t have several high-status husbands?

Once Ah Xing returns to the Jiang Family...

He wouldn’t have to become the lesser one, right?!!!!

His heart sank instantly halfway!!
