Chapter 1120: Chapter 1120: The Capital’s Crown Prince Circle (3)

Qi Shilong watched Ye Fei get into Zhou Tingting’s car with a mixture of frustration and helplessness. His car only had two seats, which was a major oversight. He should have driven a larger vehicle.

Not only could he have shown off to Zhou Tingting, but he could have also subtly probed Ye Fei’s background.

How did Ye Fei become Zhou Tingting’s childhood sweetheart anyway?

Zhou Tingting had been his neighbor since she was five or six.

If anyone deserved the title of "childhood sweetheart," it should have been him.

But now, there was no chance for that. Qi Shilong couldn’t very well abandon his car and squeeze into Zhou Tingting’s vehicle.

The two cars set off together, with Qi Shilong leading the way to the gathering. Since it was a gathering of young people, it wasn’t held in any formal location. Instead, they had booked an entire nightclub.

When Ye Fei and the others arrived, the nightclub’s parking lot was already filled with luxury vehicles. This sight made Ye Fei sigh inwardly.

The attendees were all young people with no real earning power.

Their parents were officials, and the cost of any single car here would be several years’ worth of their salaries. It was clear to Ye Fei that the corruption in the country’s political system was deeply rooted.

Qi Shilong’s car was highly recognizable. As soon as it entered the parking lot, it was spotted by people waiting there.

The nightclub’s owner and several young men and women rushed over, calling out "Qi Shao" and "Big Brother Qi." Some who were closer to Qi Shilong asked, "Qi Shao, why didn’t Miss Zhou come with you?"

"She’s in the car behind," Qi Shilong replied, his mood soured.

Zhou Tingting’s status was no less than Qi Shilong’s.

Upon hearing his response, the crowd turned to look at the car behind. Although Zhou Tingting’s vehicle was the least valuable there, no one dared to show any contempt. Instead, their eyes were filled with respect.

When they saw Ye Fei get out of the car with Zhou Tingting, they were all stunned into silence. Some couldn’t help but exclaim, "Ye Fei!!!"

Ye Fei wasn’t surprised that they recognized him. He just smiled at them, while Zhou Tingting looked extremely proud. Ye Fei was her childhood friend, her brother. His impressive presence made her feel very pleased.

Qi Shilong’s face felt hot. He had tried to intimidate others with his "North Qi, South Ye" status, but now he felt like a fool.

However, he wasn’t really scared. In his mind, no matter how powerful Ye Fei was, he wouldn’t dare to challenge the Qi family.

At most, Ye Fei might provoke some second-tier families like the Yi family or befriend the declining Song family.

"Miss Zhou Tingting, Master Qi Shilong, and Boss Ye Fei have arrived!" the master of ceremonies announced loudly at the entrance, making Qi Shilong feel very pleased.

His name was mentioned before Ye Fei’s, but he didn’t realize that he was called "Master" because of his grandfather’s status, while Ye Fei was called "Boss."

This was the reality of their society—a time when people compared their fathers and grandfathers.

Without a powerful grandfather, Qi Shilong, though not a complete fool, was just an ordinary person. How could he be compared to Ye Fei?

Ye Fei didn’t care about such trivial rankings. Once inside the hall, he looked around and saw, just as he had guessed, that everyone there was young, the oldest being around Qi Shilong’s age, in their twenties, and the youngest being just thirteen or fourteen.

But unlike ordinary kids their age, these teenagers were far from innocent, fawning over Qi Shilong.

Soon, Ye Fei spotted two familiar figures in the corner—a boy and a girl. The boy was handsome, and the girl was beautiful. They were none other than Song Renzong and Song Ci, brother and sister.

From where they were sitting, it was clear which families were more powerful. If this had been a regular gathering, Song Ci’s beauty, second only to Zhou Tingting’s, would have made her the center of attention. But today, beauty didn’t matter.

These young people, influenced by their upbringing, valued power and status above all else. The Song family was currently in decline, so its members were not given much importance.

The siblings had heard Ye Fei’s name announced by the master of ceremonies. When Ye Fei saw them, Song Ci was excitedly waving at him. If it weren’t for Song Renzong holding her back, she would have run over already.

"Tingting, I’m going to say hello to some friends over there," Ye Fei told Zhou Tingting before heading towards the Song siblings.

Everyone in this circle knew each other, so Zhou Tingting recognized Song Ci and knew she was Ye Fei’s apprentice. She wouldn’t object, but she was surrounded by enthusiastic young men and women and couldn’t break free. Reluctantly, she stayed behind.

"Master, you came!" Song Ci said happily as Ye Fei approached. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tenderness. Although she had secretly sworn to be Ye Fei’s apprentice for life for her mother’s sake, emotions were not something one could control.

Compared to Song Ci’s excitement, Song Renzong was extremely respectful towards Ye Fei. He called him "Mr. Ye" as soon as he arrived. Although they were around the same age, and Song Renzong was slightly older, Ye Fei was his sister’s master and seemed to have some sort of ambiguous relationship with his aunt.

This made it impossible for him, who had been traditionally educated since childhood, to act as casually as his sister.

"Really?" Ye Fei asked curiously. "You knew I would come?"

"My brother said that since you’re in the capital and have connections with the Zhou family, you’d likely visit them. And since today is the gathering, you might come with Zhou Tingting," Song Ci explained, adding, "If it weren’t for that, I would have left already!"

Ye Fei nodded inwardly. Song Renzong was indeed sharp. This analysis seemed simple, but it required strong reasoning skills and a lot of attention to detail.

After praising Song Renzong in his mind, Ye Fei asked, "Isn’t this gathering set by your elders? Can you just leave?"
