Chapter 1303

This place was a club favored by the upper class in the capital. Few dared to cause trouble here because the owner was Taishu Yuanxiang.

To many, Taishu Yuanxiang was a legend. His life path was truly extraordinary. He rose from being an abandoned child of a family with nothing to become a top boss. After cleaning up his past, he founded Taishu Industries, which itself became a legend.

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan arrived at the club and went straight to the top floor, the seventh floor.

Zhu Yanyi noticed that Taishu Yuanxiang seemed to love the number seven. The club had seven floors, and she occupied the entire seventh floor alone. People called her Seventh Master.

"Taishu Laoqi," Yan Aohan looked at Taishu Yuanxiang. His expression was calm, but his aura made people feel a faint sense of suffocation.

"Yan Laosì," Taishu Yuanxiang responded with equal force. He was not afraid of the pressure from the man in front of him and met it head-on.

It seemed sparks flew between their eyes. Zhu Yanyi suddenly thought this scene resembled tropes in modern romance works—love and hate intertwined. She raised an eyebrow slightly and decided not to disturb them, moving to a nearby table instead.

There were no dishes on the table yet, but there were plenty of snacks and fruits. Zhu Yanyi casually picked up a grape and ate it, observing the "interaction" between the two men with interest.

After Yan Aohan finished confronting Taishu Yuanxiang, he looked for Zhu Yanyi. He found her eating fruit with a satisfied expression. He smiled helplessly and sat down beside her. "Why did you come over and start eating without calling me?"

"Looking at you two, full of deep affection, expressive eyebrows, exchanging glances, loving and killing each other. How could I disturb such a moment?" Zhu Yanyi said with a grin, not caring if she used the idioms correctly.

"Nonsense. Who has deep affection or loves and kills each other with him?" Yan Aohan laughed and sighed. "Ani, don't tease people like that."

Taishu Yuanxiang watched their interaction from the side, a hint of surprise in his eyes. He knew Yan Aohan was not on the same path as him, but both were emperors in the shadows of the capital.

Unlike him, Yan Aohan was accepted by the upper echelons of China. No matter what Yan Aohan did, the upper levels would not hold it against him. But Taishu Yuanxiang could not do that. Even though he was called the Supreme of the Northern Jianghu, he dared not clash openly with the authorities.

Of course, that was not the topic of the day. She did not understand why Yan Aohan cared about her relationship with Zhu Yanli. She had originally thought Yan Aohan was interested in Zhu Yanli, but seeing Zhu Yanyi now, she realized she had overthought it. Yan Aohan’s target had never been Zhu Yanli, but her younger sister, Zhu Yanyi.

She walked over slowly and sat down elegantly, examining Zhu Yanyi.

This girl was completely different from Zhu Yanli. If Zhu Yanli was a clear breeze, then this person was the morning sun. If Zhu Yanli was an orchid in a secluded valley, then this woman was undoubtedly a majestic peony.

Different people had different charms. Taishu Yuanxiang began to understand why Yan Aohan was moved.

In terms of appearance, Zhu Yanli surpassed Zhu Yanyi. But in terms of temperament and elegance, Zhu Yanyi was superior. Taishu Yuanxiang was truly curious about what kind of family the Zhu family was, raising two daughters with such different styles.

While Taishu Yuanxiang examined Zhu Yanyi, Zhu Yanyi was also examining her.

Seeing Taishu Yuanxiang for the first time, Zhu Yanyi understood why Zhu Yanli had fallen into her emotional vortex. This man was too elegant. Her elegance was almost perfect, with a touch of artistic flair.

Although he was from the Jianghu world, he had no Jianghu aura. Instead, he looked more like a scholar.

If Yan Aohan was the moonlight in the night, then Taishu Yuanxiang felt like camel bells in the desert. Both had their own merits and charms.

"Ani, do not look at other men casually," Yan Aohan said, covering Zhu Yanyi’s eyes with his hand.

Zhu Yanyi chuckled softly and gently pushed her hand away. "I just want to confirm if this man is worthy of being with my sister."

Taishu Yuanxiang’s heart tightened. Although she appeared calm and elegant on the surface, she was actually very nervous. The person opposite her was none other than Zhu Yanli’s younger sister. Since she had set her heart on Zhu Yanli, she naturally hoped to gain the approval of her family.

"What is the situation between you and my sister?" Zhu Yanyi asked directly. She did not want to beat around the bush. Sometimes, being direct was more appropriate.

"Your sister is an adult," Taishu Yuanxiang did not avoid the question.

"Yes, she is," Zhu Yanyi nodded. "But that does not mean she was prepared for you."

She had taken advantage of her sister without giving the family an explanation. She was not going to be easy to talk to.

Taishu Yuanxiang smiled bitterly. "I know. I do not deny this. That is why I am working hard to transform my business."

People in the Jianghu, mixing in both black and white worlds, knew that entering this path was difficult, but leaving it was even harder, especially choosing to transform.

"How long do you plan to take for the transformation?" Zhu Yanyi asked calmly. "Although my father is a daughter-obsessed person, my mother will definitely arrange blind dates for my sister when we return home during the first lunar month."

Zhu Yanyi felt a bit schadenfreude. Her mother had changed a lot, but one concept remained: a good son-in-law should be settled early.

Although they knew some people in the capital, there were not many of similar age. So, when they returned, they might go to Sicheng Town to look for suitable candidates.

"Aniang is mine," Taishu Yuanxiang frowned. How could he allow others to covet his woman?

"Do not tell me about this. If you have the ability, go see my parents with my sister," Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly.

"If you do not meet my parents, your status remains unclear. My sister is an unmarried woman. It is normal for my mother to arrange blind dates for her."

"I thought you came to test me," Taishu Yuanxiang said. When he heard from Yan Aohan that Zhu Yanli’s younger sister wanted to meet him, he was truly nervous.

After all, she was Zhu Yanli’s younger sister. Although Zhu Yanli rarely mentioned her, when she did, there was admiration in her eyes. This sister must be extraordinary.
