Old Sir Zhong's birthday banquet was approaching, and the Zhong Family was busy preparing for the event.
Since it wasn't a significant milestone, Old Sir Zhong didn't want a grand celebration, so the event was set to take place at the Zhong residence. Moreover, it was to be a modest affair with only some business partners and old family friends invited, excluding others.
While everyone was preoccupied with preparations for Old Sir Zhong, Zhong Niangyao took the opportunity to slip out as she had someone to meet.
A short time later, at the cafe—
Zhong Niangyao met with Chu Xu, and this time, it was she who had initiated the meeting.
Upon seeing Zhong Niangyao, Chu Xu appeared excited, yet somewhat reserved. He quickly stood up, attempting to pull out a chair for her.
Zhong Niangyao waved her hand in refusal, then smoothly pulled out a chair and sat down herself, her movements fluid and elegant.
