Chapter 721: Seeing Yu Sichen Again

Chen Yu nodded slightly. He was somewhat disappointed; he had originally wanted to see people from the Chen Family at this venue, but it seemed unlikely he would encounter them today.

He could not help but fall into deep thought. Chen Anyi, who was actually his biological father—what kind of person was he, really?

"Come, come, Brother Chen, let's drink." The two of them raised their glasses with Chen Yu and clinked them together.

"Shaoyu, have you heard? The Wu Family, one of the four great Martial Arts Families, suddenly disappeared from Shengjing last night." After a few drinks, Jiang Wei opened the floodgates: "Do you know the reason?"

"I've heard. It was such a big event, after all." Huang Shaoyu also set down his glass and said, "I heard from people connected to the Wu Clan that the Wu Family offended a powerful expert. If they didn't leave, they would have faced the danger of being exterminated."

"Although the Wu Family is ranked third among the three great Martial Arts Families, their strength is not something the other families are willing to provoke. After all, they have eight disciples in the Martial True Realm, and the family head, Wu Zhen, is even a Martial Ancestor Realm expert."

"Moreover, Wu Zhen's father is already over a hundred years old; thirty years ago, he went into seclusion to contemplate a realm even stronger than the Martial Dao." Jiang Wei nodded and said, "With such a powerful martial arts family, why would all their clansmen and disciples leave the capital overnight?"

"I'm not sure. It's said... they offended someone they couldn't afford to provoke." Huang Shaoyu said with a mysterious look: "Someone who could make even the Wu Family unable to afford to offend them—guess what kind of person that is?"

"How would I know?" Jiang Wei looked speechless.

Chen Yu, who was to the side, smiled and said nothing. These two young masters probably couldn't even dream that the person who made the Wu Family disappear from Beijing overnight was sitting right across from them.

"By the way, besides the Wu Clan and the Zhang Clan, there are two other great Martial Arts Families in Shengjing. What is the situation with those two?" Chen Yu asked suddenly.

"The other two are the Yu Family and the Zhou Family. Both families belong to the Martial Alliance, and they are also related by marriage."

Huang Shaoyu laughed: "Speaking of which, Jiuzhen of the Yu Clan is also here tonight. Her grandfather is the Yu Family Head, Yu Zhenye, the Martial Alliance Leader of the three provinces and six cities around Shengjing. Her maternal grandfather is Zhou Shoucheng, a Martial Ancestor Realm expert. This woman was born with a silver spoon in her mouth; people from the big families in Shengjing don't dare to provoke her."

"That's right. After all, the Yu and Zhou families have five Martial Ancestors between them, and Yu Zhenye is the Martial Alliance Leader, commanding three provinces and six cities. Who would be bored enough to provoke him?" Jiang Wei also laughed heartily.

"Look, isn't that Yu Jiuzhen?" Huang Shaoyu pointed. In the center of the hall, a group of men were surrounding a proud-looking girl, and this girl was staring with displeasure at a girl in front of her.

Yu Jiuzhen was high and mighty, aggressive, while the girl opposite her was in a weak position, bowing her head in apology. This girl was none other than Yu Sichen.

The smile on Chen Yu's face vanished. He stood up and walked over.

"Yu Sichen, I told you last time, don't let me see you again. Did you not take my words as human speech?" Yu Jiuzhen looked arrogant, looking down at Yu Sichen with a face full of chill.

"Miss Yu, I only came at the invitation of a friend. I had no intention of offending you, and what happened last time was also a misunderstanding." Yu Sichen's voice was gentle: "If Miss Yu is still angry, I apologize to you here."

"Apologize? An apology is enough?" Yu Jiuzhen sneered: "Yu Sichen, do you know that you are just a seductive slut? Last time, my Liang Jin's eyes went straight when he saw you. I didn't expect him to take the initiative to chat you up again this time. You are quite good at seducing people."

Actually, there was no need to ask; it was clear this was another case of two women fighting over jealousy.

The person involved, Liang Jin, was the pretty boy standing behind Yu Jiuzhen. He stood to the side looking awkward, not saying a word.

"I'm sorry, Miss Yu, we were just... greeting each other normally. There really was nothing else." Yu Sichen lowered her head slightly.

"Zhenzhen, she and I were really just greeting each other, there was no other meaning." Liang Jin mustered his courage and said.

"Shut up." Yu Jiuzhen glared at him with a sharp look. Liang Jin obediently shut his mouth. Don't look at how he usually acts all dapper; in front of Yu Jiuzhen, he was just a grandson. If Yu Jiuzhen told him to go east, he would never dare to go west.

"Liang Jin, I'm warning you, you're just a poor ghost from the countryside. Although you have a 985 university degree, you don't amount to anything in Shengjing. If it weren't for me, how could you have gotten to know so many celebrities and moved in high-society circles?" Yu Jiuzhen sneered: "Don't take yourself too seriously."

"I'm sorry, Zhenzhen. I wasn't defending her, but I felt the gap between her and you is too large. If you lower yourself to argue with her, it would be beneath your status."

Liang Jin began to fawn without blushing or panting: "I greeted her only because we had met before; there was no other meaning. If you don't like it, I'll chase her away now."

"Fine, chase her away, right now." Yu Jiuzhen pointed at Yu Sichen and said: "And what is this woman's status? What right does she have to wander around places where celebrities gather? She's just a vase that looks a bit pretty. From now on, where I am, she is not allowed to appear."

"Did you hear that, Yu Sichen? You've already made my Zhenzhen unhappy. Why don't you get lost?" Liang Jin said angrily: "I know you have a crush on me, but don't have any delusions. I only have Zhenzhen in my heart."

Yu Sichen raised her head and looked at Liang Jin coldly. Honestly, the longer she stayed in this circle, the more she loathed it.

She wasn't close to Liang Jin at all. It was just that at the last banquet, Liang Jin had taken the initiative to chat her up, and he had even found out her contact information from elsewhere. He hadn't stopped harassing her these past few days.

Meeting him this time, Liang Jin had been even more shameless in pestering her, yet now he was accusing her. This ability to turn black into white was truly admirable.

Seeing Yu Sichen's indifferent expression, Liang Jin's heart suddenly panicked. He roared: "What are you looking at? Just a fallen Yu Family, hanging around in various places every day, hoping to marry into a wealthy family? You should look at whether you have the qualifications."

Yu Sichen stared blankly at Liang Jin. Her indifference and her confidence were shattered in an instant. This sentence pierced her heart like a knife.

Yes, the Yu Family was just a fallen wealthy family, yet she was desperately trying to squeeze into the circle of the wealthy, hoping to marry into a rich family to revitalize the Yu Family.

Everyone thought she was snobbish, and everyone thought she was delusional, but who knew that such a life was not also a form of torment for her?

The pressure from her parents left her with no life of her own; she could only endure it time and time again.

"That's right, a fallen Yu Family, and still obsessed with marrying into a wealthy family?" Yu Jiuzhen giggled: "Appearing in various occasions every day, do you know what they call you in the circle? A vixen."
