Chapter 1086: Chapter 1080: Maybe We’ll Be Brothers in the Future

“Mr. Lu.”

Seeing Lu Tianxing coming over, Zhou Sihao’s face immediately became a bit unnatural, but he still called out.

“Hehe, Mr. Zhou, there’s no need to be formal. What happened yesterday was just a misunderstanding. Since it’s been resolved, there’s no need to stand on ceremony.” Lu Tianxing glanced at Zhou Sihao and said.

“Mr. Lu, regardless of the circumstances, you deserve my respect. If it weren’t for you, I, Zhou Sihao, might still be arrogant and ignorant. Who knows, I might have died one day. I must thank you, Mr. Lu, for saving my life.” Zhou Sihao said sincerely, with no disguise on his face.

Zhou Sihao indeed wanted to thank Lu Tianxing. Lu Tianxing showed him through action that everything he currently had was all because of the Zhou Family. It was because of them that he was the illustrious Suzhou Four Young Masters’ Zhou Sihao. Without the Zhou Family, he wouldn’t be much different from a useless person. People respected him not because of his abilities, but because of the Zhou Family.

After his grandfather personally went to apologize, Zhou Sihao understood a truth: one cannot rely on external support forever. The Zhou Family could be relied upon for ten or twenty years, but if the Zhou Family disappeared, what would he depend on? This time his grandfather swallowed his pride to apologize, but what about next time? Who would help him apologize then?

So, Zhou Sihao came to a realization and understood, which is also why Zhou Chengtian said Zhou Sihao could still be saved. It’s when someone refuses to see reason that they become incurable.

The surrounding young heirs had also stopped their antics. After hearing Zhou Sihao and Lu Tianxing’s conversation, their eyes all fell on Zhou Sihao and Lu Tianxing.

They were all aware of how Zhou Sihao had been humiliated at Xiang Crab Garden yesterday. Everyone was speculating when Zhou Sihao would go find Lu Tianxing to take revenge, yet today Zhou Sihao voluntarily conceded and even thanked the person who hit him.

Everyone felt confused. Could it be what they call ‘play hard to get’ to lull the enemy into complacency before striking?

Meanwhile, Liang Shidao, who intentionally didn’t follow to watch the scene, couldn’t help but furrow his brows. His original intention was to use this opportunity to cause a clash between Lu Tianxing and Lu Haoyue, but now there seemed to be no tension between them at all.

“Sihao, you’ve actually learned to bow your head. I used to advise you, but you wouldn’t listen. How come this time…?”

Lu Haoyue looked at Zhou Sihao with some surprise. He knew Zhou Sihao, and they counted as fairly good friends. He had advised Zhou Sihao to be a bit more low-key, but Zhou Sihao never took his advice. Yet this time, he voluntarily conceded.

“Haoyue, it’s only after suffering a setback that I realized without the Zhou Family, I might be nothing. Others respect and fear me only because I am part of the Zhou Family. Without the Zhou Family, would I even be part of the Suzhou Four Young Masters?” Zhou Sihao said slowly.

Hearing Zhou Sihao’s words, Lu Haoyue couldn’t help but nod and said, “It’s good that you understand. In this world, there’s no power that remains unchanging forever. If you want others to respect you, you must have enough strength yourself. Any external power will eventually disappear, but your own power will always remain.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Mr. Lu…”

Lu Tianxing had just started to speak when Lu Haoyue interrupted him: “What’s with the ‘Young Master Lu’? Just call me Haoyue. Of course, I’m a bit older than you, so if you want to call me brother, that’s fine too. What do you say?”

With that, Lu Haoyue gave Lu Tianxing a meaningful smile.

Seeing Lu Haoyue’s demeanor, Lu Tianxing smiled faintly: “Alright, I won’t stand on ceremony then.”

“No need to stand on ceremony with me; we’re friends. Who knows, maybe we’ll be brothers in the future.” Lu Haoyue said with a hint of suggestion.

Hearing Lu Haoyue’s words, Lu Tianxing was briefly stunned before he broke into a smile.

Meanwhile, the others were completely bewildered. What was going on? How did they suddenly become brothers? Everyone started to look at Lu Tianxing with a bit of envy. They, too, were descendants of Jiangnan’s prestigious families, but their relationship with Lu Haoyue was only that of friends and nothing more. Yet, Lu Tianxing had suddenly become brothers with Lu Haoyue, which shocked them. With Lu Haoyue’s support, as long as Lu Tianxing didn’t provoke the older generation’s strong figures, he could pretty much do as he pleased in Jiangnan.

While others didn’t understand why, Liang Shidao comprehended completely, and his face darkened. He had hoped for a fallout between Lu Tianxing and Lu Haoyue, not for them to befriend each other.

“Oh, by the way, I heard that your wife is a famed businesswoman in Modu, and now she has secured a collaboration with Angel Group. Quite impressive.” Lu Haoyue looked at Lu Tianxing and remarked.

Lu Tianxing nodded and said, “Just luck.”

“Hehe, you’re too modest. So many men have dreamt of pursuing your wife and ultimately failed, yet you managed to win her heart. If this news got out, you’d be the public enemy of all men in China.” Lu Haoyue said with a chuckle, looking at Lu Tianxing.

Lu Tianxing chuckled, “That’s what I call skill. I just love how they can’t stand me yet can do nothing about it.”

“Hahaha, indeed, I also love how they can’t stand me yet can do nothing.” Lu Haoyue laughed heartily.

Everyone around was drawn to the laughter, their eyes filled with puzzled expressions.

“What are you all looking at? Go back to what you were doing.” Lu Haoyue waved his hand and said.

Hearing Lu Haoyue’s words, the people around lost any lingering thoughts. The short, chubby man resumed singing “Love Until Death” with the woman beside him, while the few sitting on the sofa continued flirting with the women around them.

Meanwhile, Liang Shidao sat on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine, gently swirling it, and occasionally taking a sip. His eyes occasionally swept over Lu Tianxing and Lu Haoyue, growing darker with each pass. As Lu Haoyue and Lu Tianxing played pool, they occasionally chatted and laughed, but because he was too far away, he didn’t dare to eavesdrop, only seeing their lips move without hearing any sound.

“Are you familiar with Liang Shidao?” Lu Haoyue suddenly lowered his voice and asked Lu Tianxing.

“Not very familiar, just met him yesterday.”

“That guy Liang Shidao is no good, loves plotting behind people’s backs. You’d better be careful.” Lu Haoyue said seriously.

Lu Tianxing looked at Lu Haoyue and smiled. “You know my status; why would you tell me this? Aren’t you afraid I’d think you’re trying to sow discord between me and Liang Shidao?”
