Chapter 548 The Biggest Supporter


    Chu Feng and his family went into Hongbin Restaurant and enjoyed avish meal. After dinner, Li


    Hongtu sent them home by his car.


    When Chu Feng told him about the Zhou family gathering tomorrow, Li Hongtu promised to prepare


    avish present to show his support to Zhou Lie, which made thetter very moved.


    It was hard to meet someone like Li Hongtu in a public gathering other than events hosted by the


    government, and it was impossible to invite him no matter how much money one offered. One could


    imagine how much Li Hongtu respected Chu Feng to agree to attend the gathering of a second-tier


    family.

    Later at night, back at the mansion, Zhou Lie sat on the swing in the garden. He held a pipe in his


    hand and blew smoke rings. No one knew what he was thinking, but something seemed to weigh on


    his mind.


    Not far away, Zhou Ying was also sighing with her cheeks resting on her hands.


    Chu Feng came over and handed Zhou Ying a cup of coffee. "Are you and Father worried about the


    family gathering tomorrow?"


    "Yes. The annual family gathering is the time when every family unts their wealth and


    connections," Zhou Ying said unhappily. "Every year for the past ten years, without fail, our family


    has been mocked and marginalized. Even though Dad and Mom had always said that they didn''t


    mind, I could see that they''d be very depressed whenever it was time to attend the gathering.


    Dad would sit in the garden smoking for the entire night…"


    Zhou Lie''s financial condition was the worst among his siblings. Moreover, he was a stubborn man


    without many friends.


    He and his family would sit in a corner at every family gathering while the other tables were filled


    with guests. They would be theughingstock and subject of mockery.


    "This year, it''ll be different!" Zhou Ying said confidently. She hugged Chu Feng''s neck and giggled.


    "I''m sure my brother will make us proud this time. Show them what you''re made of!"


    "Hey, watch it," Chu Feng said and yfully scratched Zhou Ying''s nose. "I''ve heard that your


    cousins have made a name for themselves."


    Zhou Ying nodded. "That''s right. Even though the Zhou family has been in decline since three


    generations ago, my uncles and cousins managed to salvage some influence and connections.


    Uncle Yang and Uncle Yong are multi-millionaires, and my aunts are doing well too. Second Uncle


    Wen is probably the most well-off. He''s a deputy director in a government department. That''s the


    highest ranking in the family, and even Uncle Yang has to bow to him."


    She continued, "Zhou Yao, his son, is an ace graduate student from Yenching Military Academy.


    General Yang Jingyu, the leader of the Yenching military region, adores him and recognizes him as


    his godson. In two years, he''s already a lieutenant general before he turned thirty years old. Even


    Grandfather thinks of him as the next patriarch of the family. He''ll be the host of the gathering this


    time."


    Chu Feng rubbed his chin.


    Yang Jingyu? I remember that name.


    Seven years ago, he challenged me to a mock skirmish, and he lost his headquarters within three


    hours. I''m surprised he''s the leader of the Yenching military region. Are they so short of talent?


    Not only that, but he''s also the biggest supporter of the Zhou family!
